Chapter 57: The Secret of the Second Prince's Mansion
When the three of them walked down the stone steps of the tower, there was already one person waiting in front of the four of them.
"Huang Ming, why are you?" Xiaohua was also very strange, why Huang Ming, who had been following the prince, was actually shed. Huang Ming is five or six years older than Xiaohua, and the big brother named Huang Ming has been teaching his martial arts and knowledge when he was a child. So the two sisters have always treated Huang Ming as their own brother.
Huang Ming nodded, did not reply to Xiaohua's question, but told Shen Qianfeng the reason. It turned out that the identity of the maid named Ximei who was sent in today had been found out, and the identity of this person was very surprising.
"Who do you say? This Ximei died ten years ago. Shen Qianfeng was startled for a moment and immediately looked at Feng Qianqian, thinking that all the things in Ximei's memory had been extracted by Feng Qianqian and handed over to the people of the Divine Pavilion.
"Let's get into the carriage and talk about it!" After speaking, Shen Qianfeng was the first to get into the carriage, and he didn't care too much about sharing a carriage with the heroine of his family. But he still sat on the side in a proper manner, like an obedient and good student. Listen to the teacher and teach the older children in a proper manner.
When the carriage started, there were already beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down Huang Ming's forehead.
Shen Qianfeng couldn't cry or laugh: "Take it easy, I'm not a man-eating devil." If you are like this, how can you introduce the situation of the Second Prince's Mansion. ”
Feng Qianqian snorted and laughed: "I really haven't seen you like this, is Xiaofeng more strange than which Mr. Xingyun?"
"You can't say that about Huang Ming, his problem is not so terrible?" Shen Qianfeng saw a rough idea when he first met Huang Ming, but at that time, the matter between him and Chunying was still settled. Now that the matter between the two has been decided, they have not been married for several months, and it is time to take action to treat them. Shen Qianfeng handed over a bottle and said, "There are ten pills here, which are specifically designed to treat your physical condition." Eat one first, and after eating it, you won't sweat anymore when you get to the opposite sex. Huang Ming took the pill embarrassedly, and Shen Qianfeng muttered again: "I'm really a little curious, how did you get this disease." If you have time, it's better to do some research. ”
After eating the pill given by Shen Qianfeng, Huang Ming's voice finally calmed down a lot. Situ Yue suddenly understood at this time, many strange diseases that had disappeared in the legends of his previous life would emerge in such a different world.
"Her illness should be heterophobia in dense spaces!" Situ Yue shook her head: "This is much better than Mr. Xingyun's life." ”
Shen Qianfeng said with a smile: "There are a total of ten pills in this bottle, after eating one pill a day." You won't be afraid of women!"
When the carriage started, Huang Ming regained his former calm and began to tell the unknown secrets in the Second Prince's Mansion.
It turned out that the second prince had a concubine, but four years ago, when the patriarch of the astrology clan predicted that the girl with the fate of the Queen of the Wind would come from the Shen family. The next day, the original second princess and concubine were found to have appeared in the western suburbs of the imperial capital in addition to the accident.
The entire western outskirts of the imperial capital had a chaotic area where only gangsters, hooligans and ruffians survived. So when the second princess woke up, she was killed directly in the western suburbs, although the second prince had tried his best to deal with the aftermath, but the mother of the second prince was very good. Second, in order to stabilize the power of the mother family of the second princess, the sister of the original second princess was brought into the second prince's mansion in half a year.
In the following days, after entering the Second Prince's Mansion, this sister soon became the second prince's favorite concubine. In the days that followed, the He family, another family of the second prince, also sent a woman into the second prince's mansion, and this woman was soon managed by the head of the concubine Wei and has been managing all the daily affairs of the second prince's mansion. It is also equivalent to what the main concubine and the housewife have to do.
"This time it was Xue Yanyan, the sister of the former second prince and concubine, who had an accident!" Huang Ming continued: "The power of the Xue family is not trivial, and half of the money transactions in the entire empire are under the control of the Xue family's money bank. Although the household department does not have the bloodline of the Xue family, there are several important official positions, almost all of which are the sons-in-law of the Xue family. This time Xue Yanyan had an accident, and the Xue family did not agree to the reconciliation conditions given by the second prince, so they made trouble with the second prince's mother. ”
In other words, I can't give an account. The second prince's money bag is someone else's?" Shen Qianfeng immediately grasped the crux of the problem.
"That's right, the prince means just go through the motions. The prince didn't want the princess to get involved in the disputes of the second prince's family in public. After all, the possibility of him sitting on the throne has no other possibility than rebellion. ”
Shen Qianfeng agrees with this very much, but it is not her Shen Qianfeng's character to not solve the case when she encounters it. So he whispered: "Look and talk about it, there have been many ruthless things in the past year that have pointed to the second prince." This time it is also a good opportunity to have a chance to touch the bottom of the Second Prince's Mansion in detail. By the way, who is the current master mother of the Second Prince's Mansion? No, it's not a master mother, but now she's just a steward, right?"
When it comes to the concubine Qin Mian Qin, who is now in charge of the Second Prince's Mansion, what Huang Ming said is full of praise. But for the origin of this woman, I will not be confused for a while.
"Do you have evidence to prove that this Concubine Qin is the eldest daughter of the Xiyue Qin family?"
Although the things that have been determined are said from Huang Ming's mouth here, although Shen Qianfeng should never think about these things, he is also trying his best to analyze the things in it.
The Qin family of Xiyue Kingdom has inherited the position of prime minister for three generations, and the noble daughter of the Qin family is the object of everyone vying to marry from all the famous families on the entire continent. But why the noble daughter of the Qin family is willing to be a prince's side concubine, no one knows the true intention of sleeping here.
When the carriage stopped, half an hour had passed in the world, and when the coachman Xiaotian arrived. I heard the sound of people kneeling in unison outside.
The side concubine of the Second Prince's Mansion sounds good, but in fact it is just a man's everything. And now Shen Qianfeng is a genuine princess, or a princess with a different surname who is married to the third prince. Of course, these people will do enough face work.
Qin Mian was dressed in a gorgeous dress, and a silver double-flowered jade hairpin was inserted in the bun on the top of his head. There is a small phoenix head carved on top of this jade hairpin. This Qin Mian really looked a little angry with himself, and he dared to wear an ornament with a phoenix on his head openly.
There are a total of three side concubines in the second prince's mansion, and about ten concubines are honestly kneeling at the door of the mansion to greet Shen Qianfeng.
As soon as Shen Qianfeng started this battle, why didn't he understand how sinister this Qin Mian was. Could it be that Xue Yanyan's child was killed by this Qin beauty. He took a closer look at Qin Mian, who was hunched over and making a salute, and he knew everything, the foolish brother. It's not that this person can't have children, but he is willing to have children. The inference of that moment just now was completely ruthlessly beaten up all at once.
Shen Qianfeng waved his hand: "Get up!"
When everyone stood up, Shen Qianfeng was attentive to observe Qin Mian's situation. I found that there was some deficiency in her body, which should be caused by the lack of proper closure of the room. And the moment he stood up, his face was pale and a little scary.
After Qin Mian stood up, he barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess invites someone, Lord Yin Liu Kun and Master Liu of the Imperial Capital Mansion are waiting for the princess inside!"
Shen Qianfeng didn't care about the words, and really let Situ Yue listen to them. Then everyone came and came to the outside of the most luxurious courtyard in the Second Prince's Mansion. Looking at the carved beams and paintings in front of the door, the exquisite rockery is just to set off the scenery outside the courtyard. Shen Qianfeng despised the second prince's big hands a little. Others don't know the current state of the empire, but Shen Qianfeng knows very clearly when he arrives. Almost half of the empire's financial power was in the hands of the great families, not in the emperor's treasury.
At the door of the small courtyard, there were already officials and guardians of the imperial capital, and when they saw someone coming. The two officials knelt down in unison and saluted: "Attend Her Royal Highness the Princess." Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
Shen Qianfeng waved his hand: "Flat!"
The people in the house hurriedly walked out when they heard the sound and wanted to kneel down again, but they were stopped by Shen Qianfeng. After listening to too many flattering words, Shen Qianfeng's brain was about to rust. The princess also has the helplessness of the princess, and she finally understands what kind of life her dear cousin lives every day.
was brought into the room, and an old man with a white beard was examining Xue Yanyan's wounds. But the old man's eyebrows wrinkled tighter and tighter, and finally shook his head helplessly: "What's the matter like this?"
Situ Yue took advantage of the old man's stunned moment, and came to the already cold corpse on the bed and asked. already had a case in his heart, turned around and retreated to Shen Qianfeng's side and muttered in a low voice. So she swept her eyes to the face of the man who was in a daze, if such a big thing really told the truth. It is estimated that it will be difficult to get out of the Second Prince's Mansion today, and she is waiting for the next move of the old man.
Liu Kun was impatient again, and asked in a cold voice: "What do you see? If it doesn't work, tomorrow you will roll me up and go back to my hometown to farm." ”
The old man's eyes were about to be congested, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Concubine Xue is not pregnant, her death was caused by someone scaring her with poison in her meal." The blood of a miscarriage in bed is actually a phenomenon of poison flowing out. And ......"
Qin Mian shouted: "That's enough, someone will pull down this old Diao slave and cut me down! I dare to say bad things about the Second Prince's Mansion again." ”
As soon as the guards swarmed in, the old man was taken down, and one of the guards pulled out a knife on the spot and was about to cut someone. At that moment, the guard with the knife stood there stupidly. Until Shen Qianfeng's voice slowly sounded: "Qin Mian, do you still think this is still your Xiyue Kingdom? Even in Xiyue Kingdom, it is impossible for the King of Xiyue to let a little girl who has no official or position kill the imperial court officials at will!"
A crime of murdering an official of the imperial court was deducted, and even in Xiyue, her father could not save her. So he waved his hand and told all the guards to go down, and the guard who had just raised his knife to kill the old man was still standing motionless with his knife in his hand.
Qin Mian said: "Please also ask Her Royal Highness the princess to raise your noble hand and put it on the next yard." ”
As soon as Shen Qianfeng's mind moved, the guard fainted on the spot. The next moment, Tianjun appeared with two secret guards and grabbed the guard. I heard their master say, "Stay and interrogate!"
When giving orders to Tianjun, Shen Qianfeng determined one thing here. Qin Mian had nothing to do with this case, and the purpose of the guard's murder just now was another matter.
Shen Qianfeng found a clean chair and made it, and then heard someone outside say that it was the Xue family who came to the door. said that they must let the Second Prince's Mansion give them an explanation to the Guo family, which is really a strange thing, and there are a lot of them every year. Shen Qianfeng glanced at Qin Mian, who was still standing, and said, "I just followed the instructions of our family lord to find out the truth about Xue Yanyan's death. If there is a murderer, I will teach you in a short time, and as for the affairs of the Second Prince's Mansion and the Xue family, I will not interfere in any way. ”
"I'm afraid you won't be able to interfere, because at the end of the palace banquet, the second prince will ask his father to marry Shen Qianbi, the third lady. Qin Mian smiled a little dryly: "For the second prince and concubine!"
Shen Qianfeng smiled bitterly: "The affairs of the Shen family have nothing to do with me, my family is the Situ family. The collision of eyes was only for a moment, but this kind of confrontation Qin Mian was completely defeated. The weak-hearted self finally made a concession: "Okay, I'll deal with the people of the Xue family." There is still Her Royal Highness Princess Lao here. ”
"Go ahead, maybe the answer is about to come out. Shen Qianfeng's face suddenly laughed, and he finally sighed when he looked at Qin Mian who was leaving: "The royal family also has the sorrow of the royal family, I think I should be the lucky one!"
Liu Kun snorted: "Why did Her Royal Highness the princess say that?"
"The guard just now looked like he had an innumerable momentum, and it was very likely that this Xue Yanyan girl had some ulterior secrets. Shen Qianfeng then asked the old man: "Although the seniors saw that Xue Yanyan's pregnancy was fake, did you ever suspect that this corpse was also fake?"
This sentence almost frightened the legs of everyone around, and then Shen Qianfeng came to the female corpse lying on the bed. Unbuttoned her lower clothes, and then called an old servant to step forward: "Senior understands the meaning of what I said!"
The old man's eyes were full of light, and he kept nodding his head: "The old man understands, it turns out that this is what it looks like?"
To be able to imitate a person like this is probably a waste of a lot of heart. This person just wanted to exchange the real Xue Yanyan, but what he didn't expect was that the second prince would be cheeky enough to save the third prince. I don't know if it's providence, or if the two are destined to be lost?"
Here, the deceased was dressed and covered with a quilt, and Shen Qianfeng explained: "If I didn't make a mistake in inference, the real Xue Yanyan had never entered the Second Prince's Mansion at all. ”
