Chapter 207 The Queen's Help
The queen was a little surprised after hearing what Song Qingwan said. She had been in the harem and had not been concerned with worldly affairs for a long time. She didn't know that the Zhong family was now the only powerful family in the court.
"You suspect that the Zhong family is colluding with foreigners. Do you have any evidence?"
"There is no evidence at the moment, but a few days ago my Wang Huai's palace was massacred, and I found this next to the bodies of those dead guards."
Song Qingwan took out the wolf tooth pendant from her arms and handed it to the queen. The queen took it, took a look and found that there was nothing special about it.
"Isn't this just an ordinary pendant? What does this mean?"
"Your Highness is a noble lady of the Lan family, and has been the queen for so many years. Have you ever seen anyone wearing this wolf tooth as an ornament?"
"No, except for the wolf fangs presented by Dongyue Kingdom as tribute every year, it is rare to see them at other times."
"That's right. The person who massacred Prince Huai's mansion must not be a person of noble status. Who do you think could carry this Bluetooth so casually?"
Song Qingwan's words made the queen fall into deep thought. She recalled the details of her interactions with the Zhong family over the years, and suddenly thought of something very strange.
Song Qingwan looked at the queen and her eyes suddenly lit up. She knew that this trip was not in vain, and the queen must have some clues.
Sure enough, the queen didn't wait too long. She slowly told the story of something that happened a few years ago.
It turned out that a few years ago, when the Queen was choosing a princess for Prince Yu, she went to the Zhong family in person, wanting to meet the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, Zhong Xuejiao.
While she was sitting in the front hall waiting, the second daughter of the Zhong family, Zhong Xueying, took the initiative to run up to her and serve her tea.
This was against the rules in the first place, because the Queen went there specifically for Zhong Xuejiao, and the Zhong family knew it very well.
Zhong Xueying's behavior clearly showed that she wanted to replace the Queen, and the Queen was somewhat disgusted by this behavior.
However, out of respect for Minister Zhong, the Queen could not lose her temper on the spot, so she rejected Zhong Xueying's advances in a gentle and tactful way.
Just as Zhong Xueying turned around and walked out dejectedly, she didn't look at her feet and accidentally tripped and almost fell.
The Queen's maid, Biyu, hurried forward to support her, thus preventing Zhong Xueying from being embarrassed.
As her body leaned forward, a small jade pendant fell out from Zhong Xueying's waist.
At that time, Zhong Xueying was very flustered and did not even care about her manners. She stepped forward, snatched the jade pendant, put it on herself, and then hurriedly left.
"I was just a little surprised at the time, but now I think there seems to be something on the jade pendant that is similar in shape to the wolf tooth in your hand."
"Your Highness, do you mean that the second young lady of the Zhong family also has a wolf tooth on her jade pendant?"
"I didn't see it clearly and it's been a long time. If you hadn't mentioned it today, I would have forgotten about it. So I can't be too sure for the moment."
Song Qingwan nodded to show that she understood. She stood up to leave but was stopped by the Queen.
"So you came here today just to ask me these questions?"
"Your Highness has helped me a lot. I will help you return to your former days and continue to be the master of this harem."
The queen suddenly laughed miserably and looked down at herself in self-mockery.
"What's the point of being the queen if I'm like this? My family is gone, and my son has turned against me. What else can a person like me do?"
"Then if the Queen has any other wishes, I will try my best to help you realize them."
"I want to see Jun'er, can you bring him to see me?"
"That's it? No other wishes?"
"I am already a dead person, with only one relative alive. If I could see him again, I would have no regrets in my life."
"Then please be patient, Madam. I will definitely bring Zhao Yujun to you. I will never break my promise."
"I believe you"
After finishing the conversation with the queen, Song Qingwan left the harem with the help of the space.
She had just left the palace when she suddenly heard the alarm of a machine in the space. Song Qingwan hurried to check and found that Shen Jingyi had woken up.
This is good news. Shen Jingyi has been in a coma for more than half a month and finally woke up.
Song Qingwan quickly found a secluded place, and she slipped into the space to check on Shen Jingyi's condition.
Song Qingwan came to Shen Jingyi's bedside and found that he had just opened his eyes. Although he was still in poor spirits, he was awake after all.
Shen Jingyi opened his mouth but no sound came out, Song Qingwan hurried forward to comfort him.
"Don't talk. You are still very weak. You can get out of bed in two days."
Shen Jingyi blinked gently to show that he understood, and then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Song Qingwan also smiled. She had been nervous these days. Now that Shen Jingyi had woken up, this was the only thing worth being happy about in these days.
Song Qingwan carefully checked Shen Jingyi's physical condition and found that although his vital signs were stable, he still could not leave these machines and he needed further observation.
But the overall situation was finally developing in a positive direction, which made Song Qingwan breathe a sigh of relief.
Shen Jingyi looked at Song Qingwan busying around and wanted to ask where this place was?
And what are these machines used for, and how long has he been here?
But he knew that due to his physical condition he could only lie down, which made Shen Jingyi feel a little depressed.
After finishing her busy examination, Song Qingwan came to Shen Jingyi's bedside, pulled a chair and sat down.
Song Qingwan knew the doubts in Shen Jingyi's mind, so she took the initiative to comfort him.
"I know you have a lot of questions in your mind, and I can't explain them to you right now. Just know that you are safe here, and you will not die."
Shen Jingyi nodded with difficulty and gave Song Qingwan a reassuring look.
Of course he trusted Song Qingwan, but he was afraid that a weak woman like her would be in danger if she took care of a dying patient like him.
Shen Jingyi was most afraid of implicating Song Qingwan, but when he saw how calm she was, he knew they were safe for the time being.
As long as she is safe, it doesn't matter where she is, Shen Jingyi doesn't care.
After comforting Shen Jingyi, Song Qingwan left the space. She went to the villa lent to her by the eldest princess to tidy up.
In any case, Shen Jingyi still needs a place to live after he comes out of the space.
The Shen family definitely cannot go back. The Dali Temple is no longer what it used to be. Shen Jingyi's body needs a long period of recuperation, so this villa is very important to Shen Jingyi.
After doing all this, Song Qingwan quietly returned to the Princess's Mansion.
Song Qingwan didn't rest, she went directly to the eldest princess' bedroom.
The eldest princess was not surprised to see Song Qingwan coming. She had heard from the servants early in the morning that Song Qingwan had gone out.
She also roughly guessed that Song Qingwan would come to see her after she came back. Looking at Song Qingwan's tired face, she quickly asked her to sit down and talk.
"What did you find?"
"If my guess is correct, the massacre at Prince Huai's Mansion is closely related to the Zhong family."
