The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

After listening to Concubine Shu's words, Qin Wenlan nodded and said, "But until now, I still haven't figured out who would be so persistent and reckless.

How dare they attempt such an assassination on me right outside the palace? Do they really not even take His Majesty seriously?"

"That's true! How dare someone so arrogant and openly court death like this?

I also can't figure out what kind of crazy reason can make them so impatient.

However, as long as it's done, there will inevitably be some traces left. As long as we investigate carefully, we will always find some clues."

Concubine Shu looked at Qin Wenlan, "Before, you suspected that Queen Wen was protecting the person who poisoned her, but now I don't know if it has anything to do with those assassins yesterday.

Maybe it’s just…”

Qin Wenlan couldn't say that with such certainty now. After all, she hadn't investigated the matter thoroughly. She could only lower her eyes and think carefully for a while before responding, "The young princess was poisoned. It must have been an unprovoked disaster.

After all, the little princess was poisoned because she casually ate the dishes on Prince An's and my table when she went to look for me.

This means that these poisons were aimed at me, Qin Wenlan, or at both me and the prince.

If the little princess hadn't suddenly decided to look for me, then the prince and I would have been the only ones poisoned!"

If you think about it carefully, the poison in the dish was placed in front of her, Qin Wenlan, and Prince An. It is possible that they both ate it!

Isn't this clearly targeting them? They are so ruthless and reckless!

How dare you kill someone right under the nose of the current emperor?

When Concubine Shu heard this, her face turned pale. Has the old woman surnamed Wen forgotten her original character again?

If she had not had no children and only had a nephew named Chang'an, how could she be so cautious in doing things!

But she always controlled her temper and valued harmony above all else, fearing that if she wasn't careful, it would directly affect Chang'an's future.

Her eldest sister left her such a precious child, and she has always protected him as if he were the apple of her eye!

Now, someone actually dared to so brazenly assassinate her precious children several times and even poisoned them at the flower viewing banquet.

It seems that she has been too gentle over the years, which has driven Queen Wen and others so crazy.

If the poisoning and assassination were both committed by Queen Wen and her men, then it makes sense why they were so eager to make Wen Lan a scapegoat.

In the eyes of Queen Wen and the others, Qin Wenlan was just a girl who was disliked by the Marquis' Mansion, even though she was engaged to Prince An.

But after all, she had not really married yet, and Empress Wen thought that her concubine Shu and Prince An would not be willing to get too involved for such a woman.

After all, Queen Wen is such a person, so she also thinks of others in this way.

Concubine Shu gathered her thoughts and looked at Qin Wenlan and said softly, "If we go to see His Majesty in the Qinzheng Palace, you should know how to respond, right?"

"Well, your majesty, please rest assured. Wenlan knows how to answer your majesty's questions and will not embarrass you."

Upon seeing this, Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm afraid there's no way to be at ease this time, after all, it involves Prince Yong's mansion!

The little princess was the apple of Prince Yong's eye. After seeing that the little princess had been poisoned yesterday, Prince Yong reported the matter to the current emperor that night.

Your Majesty will not take this matter lightly. If it weren't for this, why would those people think of using you as a scapegoat?"

Qin Wenlan certainly knew that among the people involved in this matter, she, Qin Wenlan, was just a young lady from a marquis's mansion.

She has the lowest status and position, and is the easiest to be manipulated. Otherwise, how could Queen Wen think of her first?

People without power and influence are trampled on, framed, and beaten and killed at will.

If others want you to die, you will die. If others want you to live, you will have a slight chance of survival.

This is how the law of the jungle works, and you, a weakling, have no chance to resist.

If Qin Wenlan was still the same as in her previous life, how could she have escaped this time?

At this moment, Nanny Li came in hurriedly, interrupting Qin Wenlan's thoughts.

As soon as she came in, she bowed and greeted me, "Your Majesty, I have just treated those old women. It must be said that Miss Qin showed mercy. The old women only suffered minor injuries!

They all look scary, but they are actually not serious and there is no need to worry about one's life.

Your Majesty is now relieved, as she won't be manipulated by Empress Wen when she confronts her in the Qinzheng Palace."

"Well, that's great." Concubine Shu said in a good mood.

She knew that it was impossible for a smart woman like Qin Wenlan to really kill those old women in Yiku Palace.

Wouldn't that be giving Queen Wen an excuse? How could Miss Qin do that?

"Tell them to keep those old women under guard and imprison them separately. Don't give them any chance to collude and harm people." Concubine Shu ordered Li Ma Ma with a serious face.

“After the imperial physicians treated them, they were immediately imprisoned separately.

Besides, I just had someone deliberately leak information outside everyone's door, saying that everyone else has confessed, so..."

After hearing this, Concubine Shu smiled slightly, "You are truly worthy of being Madam Li!

Well done, now just wait for those old guys to start fighting each other!

Didn’t the Wen family often beat and scold these servants? Later, someone would go to them and deliberately reveal that the Wen family wanted their lives.

It will also chill the hearts of those old servants, as something unexpected might be revealed!"

Qin Wenlan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that a nanny could have such a brain. No wonder she could become a favorite of Concubine Shu!

It turns out that he is quite capable. But when you think about it, how could there be any real fools around an old fox in the deep palace like Concubine Shu?

At this moment, a young palace maid came over quickly, bowed, and then said, "Your Majesty, word has come from the Qinzheng Palace that Your Majesty and Miss Qin are here to see you."

When Concubine Shu heard this, she immediately stood up and said to Qin Wenlan, "Okay, let's go over there!"

Qin Wenlan nodded and followed Concubine Shu closely to the Qinzheng Palace.

The two of them arrived at the Qinzheng Palace. Qin Wenlan looked up and found that Gu Changan was also outside the Qinzheng Palace. When he saw them, he came to greet them.

Qin Wenlan hadn't seen him since entering the palace, so he guessed that he must be busy with the matter of the man in black yesterday.

I didn't expect that he was waiting outside the Qinzheng Hall now!
