Pick up a princess

Chapter 191 True and False (14)

Cai'er, who was holding a card, played a card and interjected expressionlessly: "Since the queen is dead, she should be respected and shouldn't talk about it behind her back!"

"That's right, that's not very polite!" Shen Qing stuck out her tongue. In fact, she really wanted to gossip, but it was a pity that the object was the mother of the country!
Unexpectedly, there was a sneer on the corners of Qingyuan's lips, and even her voice became a little stiff: "I heard that if the soul of an unjust death is not calmed down, it will never be rested in peace. It is said that Emperor Ming loved the late empress deeply, but I never thought that the queen's soul could be rested in peace..."

Shen Qing was dumbfounded when she heard it, not to mention that she heard some clues from Qing Yuan's words, Qing Yuan's "rebellious" way of speaking is simply desperate...

Even Crown Prince Hongxuan wouldn't dare to say that to Emperor Ming, let alone Qingyuan is just a court lady!

Cai'er's complexion also changed suddenly, she put down the cards in her hand, lowered her voice and said calmly: "Miss Qingyuan has been in the palace for a while, and she should understand the rules in the palace... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has his own discretion in matters concerning the empress. ! Don't let the people around hear you chewing your tongue!"

It turns out that the queen's death really had something hidden... Shen Qing sighed in her heart, and finally understood Hongxuan's complicated psychology, and also understood why he had to cover herself up like this...

"Princess Concubine, do you know how many wronged souls are buried in this palace?" Qing Yuan turned a deaf ear to Cai'er's words, and asked Shen Qing quietly, as if talking to herself. "Jun's kindness flows eastward like water, and the sorrow of being favored is replaced by the sorrow of losing it. Don't play the flowers before the bottle, and the cool breeze is only at the west end of the hall..."

Those few sad whispers kept echoing in Shen Qing's ears until nightfall, Shen Qing still felt out of sorts, turned over and asked the maid who was watching the night: "Has His Royal Highness come back?"

"No."

"Didn't you say you can come back at night?" Shen Qing murmured, ordered the maid to light a candle, and stared at the delicate top of the bed in a daze.

When Qingyuan mentioned the queen, she suddenly behaved so abnormally, it must have some secret relationship with the queen.She was brought into the palace by Hongxuan to raise Zhu Yanyin, so she would not understand these things in the palace, why would she sigh?
Could it be that she is the queen's... natal family?

"Princess Concubine, Your Highness is afraid that something will happen to you. It's getting late, so you should go to bed early..." Cai'er quietly came to the bedside at some point, pulled the brocade quilt for Shen Qing, and lowered her head. Low advised.
