My old husband who can read minds

It's not an exaggeration to describe Song Yunjin's current situation as being exhausted, but there's more than that waiting for her.

Qin He learned the truth about Princess Youyi's dementia, which meant that Song Yunjin's handle and lifeline fell into Qin He's hands.

"Concubines harming the emperor's heirs" is a serious crime, even a death penalty. Qin He naturally wants to take advantage of this.

That day at the teahouse, Qin He learned from the Song family and his son that the queen was involved behind the incident of Princess Youyi. Qin He knew that it would not be easy to search for evidence again.

It's been so long since the incident, how could the Queen and Song Yunjin leave behind anything detrimental to them? All traces of the related corpses must have been wiped out long ago.

Without evidence, it is indeed impossible to prove Song Yunjin's evil deeds of harming the emperor's heirs.

But sometimes for many things, evidence is not needed, only suspicion is enough.

Especially the emperor's suspicion.

Shen Yuan thought of someone who could be a helper, and that was Concubine Rong, the eighth prince's biological mother.

In the harem, there are now three concubines surnamed Song, and they have almost become the sole authority of the Song family's daughters.

The other concubines must have been unable to sit still for a long time. If there was a chance to overthrow Kang Jieyu or even the queen, I believe they would be happy to cooperate sincerely.

There is no need for Concubine Rong to do this herself. She only needs to use her connections in the palace and hidden chess pieces to spread the word to the ears of Concubine De, Concubine Liang, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu, and someone will come forward by then.

Three people become tigers, and everyone's opinions shine.

With Emperor Qianyuan's suspicion, even if this matter is not true, it will eventually become true.

What's more, it is simply fact and cannot withstand scrutiny.

Even if no strong evidence was found in the end, as long as the emperor convicted Song Yunjin in his mind, her crime of murdering the emperor's heir would be established.

It's not easy to see Concubine Rong. Even if Shen Yuan has a royal decree, she can't enter the palace without being summoned. If she wants to see her, she has to learn from her.

This time, we waited until August [-]th, the Reunion Festival.

The Empress Dowager ordered a family banquet to be held in the palace. As a direct family member of Princess Hetai, Shen Yuan had the honor to come to Yongshou Palace again. During the family banquet, she used the opportunity of serving tea and chatting to whisper in Concubine Rong's ear. A few words.

The two of them were chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened, which did not arouse the suspicion of others.

Anyway, everyone in the harem knew that because Zheng Hanlin’s wife, Princess Zhaochun, was her nephew-in-law, Concubine Rong and the Crown Prince’s wife, Mrs. Shen, also had a good rapport.

Therefore, it is normal for the two of them to chat more at the banquet.

At this palace banquet, only concubines above the concubine rank could attend the banquet, so Shen Yuan and others did not see Song Yunjin.

To be honest, she quite missed this enemy.

The main reason is to see how the enemy is doing recently. If it is not good, then it is sunny.

On the third day after the Reunion Palace Banquet, Shen Yuan waited in the mansion for the distinguished guests of Jiaoxiang Palace as expected.

The person who came was a confidant of Concubine Rong, known as "Flower Girl". She was a serious and well-ranked palace maid, and Shen Yuan was polite to her when she saw her.

"Concubine Rong asked this old slave to ask Madam Prince whether what she said that day was true? What proof is there?" Hua Gu came here on orders. After sitting down, she asked the key points in a concise and concise manner.

Shen Yuan told the other party verbatim some of the news that Qin He had secretly learned from the palace in the past few days. The concubines were so shrewd that they didn't even need to explain it explicitly. As long as they were given some key clues, they could sort out the truth of the matter.

As Concubine Rong's right-hand man, Hua Gu was certainly not someone to be taken lightly. After listening to what Shen Yuan said, she believed Kang Jieyu's murder of her own flesh and blood.

"Mother Hua, I once heard a saying, please see if it makes sense."

At this time, Shen Yuan opened his mouth and "instructed": "Whoever has a vested interest is the initiator, or the one with the greatest suspicion. Think about it carefully, who got the most benefits after Princess Youyi's accident? Is it Kang Jie? Yu?"

Hua Gu's eyes lit up, this was a good statement.

Rumors sometimes do not need to point directly at the real culprit. That would appear to be too deliberate, would instead be slanderous, and would not be easy to win people's trust.

However, if everyone who heard the rumors were allowed to discover the truth and find the real culprit, the nature would be completely different.

That is not called rumors, but reasonable and reasonable speculations and doubts.

Comparing the before and after means, the high and low are obvious.

"Thank you, Madam Prince, for your guidance. I understand."

Hua Gu smiled kindly at Shen Yuan and understood.

"Mommy, you're welcome. Please tell Concubine Rong again that there is no need for Jiaoxiang Palace to be involved in this matter. As long as the few ladies who are qualified to compete for the reserve are informed, someone will take action on our behalf. .”

"What Mrs. Prince said is true, I will definitely tell Concubine Rong the truth."

Hua Gu's smile deepened and she was extremely satisfied with Shen Yuan's attitude.

"Then I wish us immediate success in advance."

Shen Yuan smiled and offered the other party a cup of tea, already confident.

Hua Gu nodded in return, drank the tea in the cup, and stood up to say goodbye.

"It's not appropriate for me to stay outside for a long time, so I'll take my leave now."

"Mommy, walk slowly and be careful on the way back to the palace."

"Your Majesty, Madam, stay here, I can go on my own."

Shen Yuan did not force it, but sat in the room and watched Hua Gu leave.

Even if Song Yunjin can't be killed this time, she can at least make her shed another layer of skin.

"Murturing the emperor's heirs, and the ones who were killed were his own flesh and blood..." Such a shocking royal scandal, even if it was acceptable to the emperor, it would not be acceptable to the queen mother.

And given the opportunity to beat the drowned dog, Shen Yuan believed that the concubines in the harem would never disappoint him. (End of chapter)
