Pick up a princess

Chapter 248 Everyone Has a Secret (19)

Shen Qing also felt a little cold, pulled up the brocade quilt and nestled her whole body in Hongxuan's arms, with only one face exposed. "I can't sleep even if I want to sleep now! What happened to Cai'er? Why was the palace maid afraid to say anything just now?"

"It's nothing, it's just a minor illness..." Hongxuan replied flatly, there was no trace of lying on his calm face.

"Impossible!" Shen Qing shook her head resolutely, and said doubtfully: "A minor illness is no longer like this, can't we ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some medicine? Or... Cai'er is not sick, but..." Thinking of One possibility, he couldn't help but stare wide-eyed and said: "Could it be that she was the assassin who assassinated Concubine Gong? She was injured instead of the assassination?"

"Do you think your husband is so stupid that he would send Cai'er to assassinate Concubine Gong in this troubled time?" Hongxuan knocked her on the head angrily and amusedly, and said in a deep voice, "Don't make wild guesses. There are two possibilities, either she directs and acts on her own, or someone from Concubine Min..."

"Why didn't the Eighth Prince do it?" Shen Qing interrupted him.The maid killed by Concubine Gong once worshiped the birth mother of the eighth prince, so the one who killed the birth mother of the eighth prince is probably Concubine Gong!
Hongxuan shook her head: "I don't know how to do it, and Xiyan naturally won't do it either..."

Shen Qing still doesn't quite understand, but she agrees with one point, the two princes are very smart, smart people, in this sensitive period, they will definitely not act rashly...

"Let's not talk about Concubine Gong...you haven't explained Cai'er's matter yet! She just..." At this point, seeing Hongxuan frowning in thought, he had a faint premonition in his heart.

"Forget it, I don't want to hide it from you again..." Hongxuan sighed, hugged her tightly and said slowly: "You were indeed replaced by Lanting Xuan, and you were imprisoned in Lanting Xuan instead of you during this period. It's Cai'er!"

Shen Qing's body froze, she was silent for a long time, she removed Hongxuan's hand around her waist, and asked quietly: "Then where is she at the moment?"

"Don't worry, she and Concubine Min were released at the same time yesterday..."

Shen Qing only felt that her hanging heart had dropped, and she finally understood why Hongxuan let her enter the palace in a disguised form, and also understood that she would stay at Nangong's house after leaving Lantingxuan...

It's just that she never thought that she would come out in this way, and she never thought that someone would replace her and suffer from prison!
