Happy pastoral event: a wonderful wife

Chapter 400 The Prince's Problem

Ye Cheng nodded, "That's right, I feel that someone deliberately lured me to sit in your seat, but I was so drunk at the time that I didn't see who it was, maybe it was someone from the mansion. Maid."

There were many maids in the mansion, and he was already drunk at the time, so it was difficult to notice the appearance of the maid supporting him.

Xiao Lanfeng was very happy with this discovery. He felt that if Ye Cheng was really lured to his seat on purpose, then it was possible that someone else was deliberately framing him. Perhaps as long as they sorted out all the clues, they would be able to To be able to clear Ye Cheng's innocence.

"I know you have always been a good drinker, so your drunkenness was a little strange that day. Let's check it out when we go back." Xiao Lanfeng said happily.

Ye Cheng was not as interested as him, and even poured cold water on him, "It's been so long, even if someone else deliberately framed me that day, if I go back and investigate now, it may not be possible If we find out something, maybe we can find out one or two little maids or servants at most, but it's not very useful."

In his opinion, even if it was not Concubine Xiao who framed him back then, but someone else, that person must have already destroyed the evidence at this time, and he would not be given another chance to find out the truth.

He felt that it was very likely that he would be wronged forever.

After hearing his words, Xiao Lanfeng was also a little disappointed, "Maybe we have missed the best time to investigate, but we still have hope. As long as we brothers work together, we can find out who is going to poison me. And it will be blamed on you."

Ye Cheng sighed, "We don't even have any clues now, and we can't even tell anyone who can doubt it. What else do you think we can do?"

Shen Yunjin stood aside, silently listening to the conversation between them.

She couldn't help but interjected, "If you want to find someone to be suspicious of, then you should think about who is your common enemy?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lanfeng asked, "Miss Shen, why do you say that?"

Shen Yunjin replied, "Since someone intentionally poisoned you and the second prince, and put the blame on the young prince, there is no doubt that this person hopes that all three princes in the palace will have accidents, so that the instigator can I have seen the situation where the snipe and the clam are fighting for the fisherman's profit. Therefore, I think you should find someone who has a common conflict of interest with your three princes, maybe someone who hopes to bring down your three princes at the same time. of this kind of thing.”

Shen Yunjin didn't know the situation of Prince Xiao's Mansion, she only came to this conclusion based on logic and common sense.

But after Xiao Wangfei and Xiao Lanfeng heard it, they felt a little enlightened and gave them some new inspiration.

Concubine Xiao looked at Shen Yunjin thoughtfully, "Miss Shen has something to say, maybe we really overlooked some things. The snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's benefit? I haven't really thought about it before." .”

At that time, all kinds of evidence pointed to Ye Cheng, so Princess Xiao had no doubts, and decided that it was Ye Cheng who poisoned her.

But after what Shen Yunjin said, she had some new ideas, and her original point of view was also shaken.

Ye Cheng had considered Shen Yunjin's statement before, but he really had no evidence and no chance to investigate, so he could only stop suspecting others for the time being, and just focus on escaping from the palace and protecting himself first.

Xiao Lanfeng muttered, "The fisherman wins? If the three of us fall down at the same time, who will benefit?"

There are only three princes in Prince Xiao's mansion, and no other princes, so they can't think of any clues about the battle for the throne.

Ye Cheng looked at Shen Yunjin and asked, "What do you think?"

Shen Yunjin didn't know anything about the situation in Prince Xiao's Mansion. She only remembered watching some palace fighting dramas before, and the concubines in the harem would often fight each other for their own interests.

What kind of concubine's post, as well as his son's inheritance rights, as well as the honor and wealth of his mother's family, are all conflicting points of struggle among the concubines in the harem.

So she could only speculate and said, "Since this person poisoned the three princes directly and did not touch the prince, it means that this person has no enmity or entanglement with the prince, but has a relationship with the three princes." They are related. From this, it can be seen that this person is very likely to be someone inside the palace."

Concubine Xiao nodded, "It makes sense, you continue."

Shen Yunjin had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "If you want to harm the three princes at the same time, it means that it is impossible because of grievances. After all, no matter who you are, it is unlikely that you will have enmity with the three princes at the same time. So, then The instigator of the poisoning is very likely to have a conflict of interest with the three princes."

"Since someone inside the palace, but also has conflicts of interest with the three princes, who could it be?" Princess Xiao shook her head, a little puzzled.

In the palace, apart from the prince and concubine, the three princes are the most honorable. Could it be that some people think that the princes are in the way and want to get rid of the three at the same time?This sounds crazy, and also a little unlikely.

Shen Yunjin said casually, "I don't know if there are other princes besides the three princes in the palace?"

Concubine Xiao shook her head, "Of course not. Yecheng is the youngest. Apart from the three of them, there are no other heirs. I know what you think. If there are other heirs or pregnant wives in the mansion, Then I would definitely have doubts, but it is true that there is no such thing, so I feel even more clueless."

Shen Yunjin didn't say anything more, she felt that maybe she was wrong, maybe things were not what she thought at all.

The battle for the throne, the fight for favor, those are the plots that only appear in TV dramas, if they are moved to real life, it would be a bit bloody.

But at this moment, what Ye Cheng said made everyone in the room eat up more or less.

"Who said there are no other heirs in the palace?" Ye Cheng said in a muffled voice.

Hearing this, Concubine Xiao suddenly realized what he was talking about, she frowned subconsciously, her brows were full of disgust.

After hearing this, Xiao Lanfeng's face also changed a little, and he didn't want to mention this kind of thing.

Shen Yunjin was a little strange, "Could it be that there are other sons?"

Xiao Lanfeng replied, "No, there are only three sons in the palace, but... apart from our three brothers, my father does have other sons."

Hearing this, Shen Yunjin was a little surprised. Shouldn't the prince's sons be all sons of the prince? How could there be others?
