The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

Chapter 144 An unexpected start but a tail end

Qin Wenlan looked at Gu Changan across from him and continued, "Is it Your Majesty's intention to finalize the case?"

Gu Changan didn't respond.

How could Qin Wenlan not understand that the poisoning incident was entirely the responsibility of Queen Wen.

Before, Empress Wen wanted to pull her out as a scapegoat. Although His Majesty asked Xu Fu to investigate, it seemed very fair. But in fact, hehe...

The expression on Qin Wenlan's face became even colder. No wonder Queen Wen and Gu Yunzhou were so arrogant and domineering. They knew they had the emperor backing them up!

In her previous life, she didn't pay too much attention to these things, but now it seems that Gu Yunzhou is a little more reliable than Gu Changan!

"It seems that the matter of those men in black will not have any results!" Qin Wenlan said, looking at Gu Changan.

Gu Changan had long sensed Qin Wenlan's anger. He looked at her and responded nonchalantly, "No matter what they do, even if my father tries to smooth things over, I won't stop investigating.

We won't let them act so recklessly and still be safe and sound. No matter who they are, they will have to pay for what they have done. Even if we really can't make them pay openly, we will make them pay in secret."

"The Emperor is actually doing this to tell others that the case has been decided. If others continue to investigate, it will be against His Majesty. If you do this, I'm afraid..."

"Wenlan, even if it's just to seek justice for you, I will continue investigating this matter, even if this justice cannot be made public.

As for Queen Wen and Gu Yunzhou, I can still make them pay the price they deserve."

"You're not going to confront them head-on!"

Gu Changan sneered, "I'm not that stupid. It's not worth it for people like them!"

"Then what can you do to make them pay the price they deserve?"

"Just wait and see!"

Qin Wenlan didn't ask any more questions, she just waited!

Prince Yong's Residence

Princess Yong looked at her husband, seething with anger, and said, "Could it be that this is the end of the matter?

They felt relieved, as the matter was over with just a few words. But my son had suffered a great crime. Should we just let the murderer go?

What did my son do to anyone? He almost lost his life after having a meal in the palace. No one would be so easy-going!

This is a bit too much. Are you taking advantage of the fact that Prince Yong's Mansion is too easy to talk to?

Is that why you are bullying me like this? If my son were gone like this, would it be dealt with in the same way?"

Prince Yong stepped forward, tightly grasped his princess's arm, and soothed her, saying, "This is the only way right now. After all, the emperor intends to protect you.

Moreover, up to now, our people have not found any strong evidence, so we can only suffer this loss in silence."

"Oh, so our Lan'er suffered this unprovoked disaster for no reason?"

Princess Yong's eyes moistened as she spoke, "Do you really think everyone is a fool? You act so blatantly and recklessly..."

Upon hearing this, Prince Yong immediately stopped her, saying, "Madam, please be careful with your words. Even in our own home, some things are better left unsaid."

When Princess Yong heard her husband's words, she covered her mouth and sobbed, "You have spent most of your life being cautious in your words and actions.

There has never been a single mistake, but now even his own daughter has almost lost her life, and he doesn't even dare to seek justice in an upright manner?

What's the point of living like this? Everyone thinks you're so glorious, but how many people actually understand you as a humble servant?

Who knows the pain and patience in your heart? It can be said that your life is not as comfortable as the homes of powerful officials in the court.

At least those powerful officials wouldn't live in such fear, so what's the point of a prince like him?"

Prince Yong listened to his princess's increasingly outrageous remarks and said gloomily, "Have you said enough?

Why don’t you go and see what happens to the other brothers in the end?

At least we have lived a stable and prosperous life over the years!

And what about them?

They were either exiled thousands of miles away or imprisoned without seeing the light of day, while we live a stable life like this, so why should we be dissatisfied? "

After listening to her husband's words, Princess Yong's heart trembled, and she slowly calmed down. She no longer had the rage she had just felt. She even stole a glance at her husband and said nothing more.

Yes, how could she forget the scene of that year!

If her husband and the current emperor were not born from the same mother, I'm afraid her whole family would not know what would happen to them now!

People always tend to ask for too much and forget what it feels like to be hurt. Such days are thousands or even tens of thousands of times better than those of exiled families.

What else does she want?

Let’s look back at those brothers who are still in custody. What kind of life are they living?

They truly live in their own little world all year round, so how dare you ask for too much?

After a long while, Princess Yong continued, "My husband, you are right. I was a little too impatient just now. However, this matter cannot be left unresolved like this!

Before, Queen Wen kept saying that it was the daughter of the Qin family who did it, but I thought that Qin Wenlan really saved our Lan'er, so how could she possibly poison our Lan'er?

Even if we take a step back and think about it, what benefit can she get from doing this to our Lan'er?

There is no other reason except that she offended our Prince Yong's Mansion. I think the girl from the Qin family is not a stupid person. How could she do such a thing that would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt herself by eight hundred?

And now they have brought out a little palace maid from the imperial kitchen. Oh, is it because that girl from the Qin family failed to serve as a scapegoat, so they directly brought out this little palace maid to deal with the matter?

Ultimately, it was our Lan Er who suffered this unprovoked disaster and endured this suffering for others in vain."

"Then how do you do it according to your idea?"

"I just want to ask Your Highness privately, are these things the work of Queen Wen?"

"This matter, I really have no way to confirm!"

"We're just talking privately at home now. Just tell me how sure you are about your thoughts."

Prince Yong was silent for a moment, then looked up at his princess and said, "Am I sure it's really that important?

What you need to know is that even His Majesty doesn't want anyone to mention it anymore, which means His Majesty wants to protect certain people. That's enough, understand~"

Upon hearing this, Princess Yong sneered, "I wouldn't be so foolish as to do anything. Are you not allowing me to do something in private?"

"It's really a woman's opinion. If you are too impulsive, I'm afraid that even I won't be able to protect you." Prince Yong held the princess's hand tightly and continued, "You must trust me.

Lan'er is also my daughter. I will definitely seek justice for my daughter and will not let our precious girl suffer this undeserved disaster in vain~"
