Crying for the prince and having his mind read, I am the most favored harem!

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't expect Lin Qingran to be so sensitive, and he could even clearly see the meaning expressed by Lin Yu inadvertently.

In this case, Xiao Heng couldn't say anything, and he didn't want to hide it from Lin Qingran.

"Brother, I thought it was so well hidden, but I didn't expect that I didn't hide it from Ran Ran at all. Ran Ran is very smart." Xiao Heng said as he picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

Lin Qingran looked serious, "What the elder brother meant earlier was that he didn't notice anything wrong. From this point of view, he must have noticed something, but he just didn't want to tell me. Of course, it's not that he didn't believe me, but that he couldn't let me know. I know, maybe it has something to do with me?"

Xiao Heng was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that Lin Qingran's mind was so sharp and he really couldn't hide anything from her.

"Ran Ran, there are some things that I don't want to tell you, but I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable." Xiao Heng sighed, thinking that it would be better for Lin Qingran to ask Lin Yu directly.

It was clear that Lin Yu couldn't hide it from Lin Qingran at all, so it would be better to tell her the truth directly, so as not to let her go and still be known in the end.

Lin Qingran frowned, "I don't think I will feel uncomfortable. No matter who wants to attack my eldest brother, I will not let him go! Seeing the eldest brother's secretive look, he must have seen something, so, What is that?"

"Ran Ran, sometimes people have to be a little confused. You guessed it so easily, which makes us all embarrassed." Xiao Heng rarely joked with Lin Qingran.

It's a pity that Lin Qingran has no intention of joking now. She has something on her mind, so naturally she doesn't want to talk about it.

"Your Highness, please tell me quickly. Could it be Shen Zhuo who attacked eldest brother?" Lin Qingran guessed, "Based on the current situation, Shen Zhuo has every reason to do so. He may do something out of love and hatred. Extreme things, such as attacking my eldest brother and causing me great pain. His Highness is in the palace and he can't do anything, so he becomes a punching bag? "

[Don’t blame me for having such a guess, it’s just that the way my eldest brother behaved was very abnormal, which made me feel that something was wrong, especially when he wanted to hide it from me. 】

[Originally, the person who should be hidden the most is the dog man. I am his biological sister, so there is no need to hide it from me. So, it's so hard to say, I think it has something to do with me. 】

[As for me, after thinking about it, Shen Zhuo is the only one. Apart from him, it is unlikely that anyone else would, let alone be capable of hurting my elder brother to this point. Just now, the eldest brother and the dog man probably thought that I couldn't tell that the eldest brother wanted to get rid of me. I just followed their wishes, thinking that the eldest brother was still seriously injured. 】

Xiao Heng's thoughts were swirling when he heard this. He didn't expect that Lin Qingran had already reacted when she heard Lin Yu speak. He, the princess, was really not an ordinary person.

Thoughtful and well-organized, such a woman is really humbled by being locked up in the harem.

If there were no female officials in the previous dynasty, and there was no precedent for a princess to serve as an official, Xiao Heng would have wanted to bring Lin Qingran to the previous dynasty. Some of her ideas and insights were not even possessed by many ministers.

"Since I can't hide it from you, I have to tell the truth." Xiao Heng put down the teacup and stared at Lin Qingran, "Ranran, the eldest brother did realize that one of the people who did the trick was from Duke Shen's house, but we guess not. Shen Zhuo.”

"Do you think that Shen Zhuo would not do such a thing since he regards his eldest brother as a good friend?" Lin Qingran asked.

Just talk to smart people. Just mention it and the other person can figure out the rest.

"Ran Ran is indeed smart." Xiao Heng nodded.

Lin Qingran thought for a moment, then chuckled, "But have you ever thought about this problem? If he thinks so too, it is entirely possible to do the opposite."

Hearing what Lin Qingran said, Xiao Heng completely believed that there was no problem between her and Shen Zhuo. If there was something, Lin Qingran would not speculate on Shen Zhuo with such a mentality, or would not say it directly after thinking about it. . For a moment, Xiao Heng felt that Shen Zhuo was quite pitiful. The person he liked didn't like him, and he still used this method to speculate on him.

"Ran Ran, although that person has something to do with Duke Shen's mansion, I think it's not Shen Zhuo." Xiao Heng replied.

Lin Qingran glared at Xiao Heng, "Do you just believe him so much?"

[Is there any mistake? Shen Zhuo is the love rival of the dog man, but he would actually believe his love rival? 】

[Maybe you don’t believe in your love rival, but you believe in me? Do you believe that I don’t have any other thoughts about Shen Zhuo? Do you believe that I have feelings for the dog man? 】

Xiao Heng coughed lightly to cover up his discomfort and did not dare to look at Lin Qingran. If there was any other possibility, he would not be willing to speak for his love rival.

"Ran Ran, it's not that I believe Shen Zhuo, but that he really has no need to take action against eldest brother. If it was because of you, he could have taken action against me directly instead of treating eldest brother like this, which would only push you further away. , isn’t it?”

It had to be said that Xiao Heng's inference was well founded, and Lin Qingran calmed down and found that this was indeed the case.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Qingran nodded, seemingly having figured it out.

"Your Highness, I would like to trouble you to verify the matter of eldest brother's injury. Since eldest brother has recognized the people from Duke Shen's Mansion, we might as well start here. Even if Shen Zhuo didn't do it, I think the person who did it should be related to Shen Zhuo has connections, so we must find the person behind this." Lin Qingran's eyes were full of coldness.

Xiao Heng understood Lin Qingran's thoughts and nodded, "Okay, I will."

Next, the two talked for a while and stayed at Lin's house until evening. After making sure that Lin Yu was in no danger, they returned to the palace.

In the following time, Xiao Heng conducted a thorough investigation, but still could not find the person behind the scenes.

But one thing is certain, that is, it is similar to what Lin Qingran said. The real culprit behind the scenes is indeed inextricably linked to Shen Zhuo, but it should not be his instigation.

There has been a lot of commotion these days because of the Queen Mother's adoption of Shen Zhuo as her grandson. Everyone is speculating on why Shen Zhuo and the Queen Mother are involved.

No one thinks that Shen Zhuo is really the Queen Mother's grandson, but they just don't know why the Queen Mother likes Shen Zhuo so much.

I heard that the Queen Mother also had a son in her early years, but unfortunately he did not grow up. Later, the Queen Mother never conceived another child, which is pitiful to say the least.

It would not be difficult to understand if Shen Zhuo wanted to treat him as his grandson because he looked at him.

The Queen Mother herself was not close to any of the princes, and her favorite was the Seventh Prince. However, the Seventh Prince also followed his own will and might not be able to stay with the Queen Mother. Shen Zhuo seemed to be able to make up for this shortcoming.

But after the news came out, everyone understood that the Queen Mother could not have any inappropriate thoughts about Shen Zhuo, and regarded herself as Shen Zhuo's elder. (End of chapter)
