Chapter 186: Suspense
What is even more surprising is that when Xiang Zheng’s incident originally happened, the Second Prince would lead his party to pursue Xiang Zheng relentlessly and capture him in one fell swoop.
She has paved the way for the second prince.
result?
The second prince was trapped in the grief of Qin Wanru's death and could not extricate himself.
Who would have thought that the Second Prince, who was always said to be truly devoted to Su Yunyun, actually loved Qin Wanru so much!
Two consecutive mistakes made the plans that Su Qingqing and Rong Que had planned in advance come to nothing.
As a last resort, they had to take action against the Rong'an Marquis Mansion themselves.
Fortunately, the emperor's attitude towards the prince has completely changed because of the rumors, and he has handed over the investigation power of the case to them.
"You rest at home for a day tomorrow, and I will go to see Marquis Rong'an." Rong Que put a shrimp into Su Qingqing's bowl and spoke to her in a gentle voice.
Su Qingqing drank a mouthful of soup and leaned lazily on the pillow, "If you go to see Rong'an Marquis, the third lady will definitely come to see you. I will be jealous."
Rong Que was immediately amused by these words and smiled. He stretched out his hand and pinched Su Qingqing's face, "I belong to you inside and out."
Su Qingqing pouted, "Then I'm jealous too. When you see her tomorrow, you are not allowed to smile at her or talk to her."
"Okay, no talking, no laughing."
Su Qingqing wanted to say something, but couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.
If my past life self saw my current self, I'd probably be scared to death.
She could actually say such stupid things.
Rong Que looked at Su Qingqing's crooked eyes and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Su Qingqing knew what he was asking, pursed her lips, blushed, and said, "I just want you to love me."
Rong Que, who was still holding the bowl, suddenly felt his scalp tingling.
Su Qingqing saw that the man's expression had changed, and hurriedly said, "But not now. I want to sleep after dinner. I want to sleep, the kind of sleep that you can fall asleep as soon as you close your eyes!"
Rong Que laughed immediately, and wondered to himself how he could be so useless. Su Qingqing could make him so excited with just one sentence.
"Well, I'll let you sleep today."
…
The next morning, Rong Que did not ask for leave and went straight to the Rong'an Marquis Mansion after the morning court.
When Rong'an Hou got the news, he hurried out to greet him, bowed his head and saluted, feeling flustered. "As soon as the incident happened, I wanted to go to your highness's residence to apologize, but I was afraid of disturbing the queen's rest. Your highness did not attend the court yesterday, and I was very nervous. I frightened your highness and the queen."
Rong Que waved his hand and said, "Let's go in and talk."
He was a little surprised that he didn't meet the third young lady.
If it were usual, the Third Young Lady would have been welcomed long ago. Could it be that the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion was really going to marry the Second Prince?
Walking all the way to Marquis Rong'an's study, Rong Que was pondering in his mind.
If the Rong'an Marquisate is really tied to the Second Prince, it may not be a bad thing. The thing to be afraid of is that the Rong'an Marquisate is tied to the Third Prince.
Rong Que still hasn't figured out the third prince's background.
Here, Rong Que followed the usual procedure to confirm the matter of the fur shop with Marquis Rong'an.
Over there, an uninvited guest came to Xiang Zheng's mansion.
He dismissed the study servant and handed the tea that Xiang Zheng had poured himself to the visitor. "Why did you come here in person all of a sudden? Just send a message. It's easy for you to be discovered here."
The visitor had a serious expression on his face. “If the message could explain it clearly, I wouldn’t have come all this way.”
Upon hearing this, Xiang Zheng's expression changed.
The man took a sip of tea and said, "Crown Princess Su Qingqing is not a legitimate princess of the Zhao Kingdom's royal family. Her true identity should be the daughter of General Yu Yang of the Zhao Kingdom."
The teacup in Xiang Zheng's hand slipped as his hand trembled, and fell to the ground with a thud. He jumped up from his seat almost instantly, "Are you serious?"
The man looked at Xiang Zheng unhappily, "I came all the way here just to spread false news?"
Xiang Zheng walked around the table, rubbing his hands excitedly and walking back and forth.
This news made him even more excited than when he found the fake Su Qingqing.
The man continued.
"General Yu Yang had two daughters. In the battle of Jialing River, General Yu Yang's entire army was wiped out, and his two daughters also died on the battlefield.
At that time, everyone thought that the Yu family was completely extinct.
But a few days ago, the people I placed in Prince Su Heng's mansion discovered that his biological sister was not of the royal family of Zhao State.
Later, I went to check some old people from that time, and after several interrogations, I actually found out some information.
Not only is Princess Su Qingqing not your Majesty's legitimate daughter, but your Majesty has no idea that the old general has two daughters, and the other daughter is said to be in the Great Yan Kingdom."
Xiang Zheng was stunned, and a wolf-like light flashed in his eyes.
"If there really is one in the Great Yan Kingdom, I will dig three feet underground to find him. Do you have any characteristics or tokens?"
The man shook his head. "There is none at the moment, but it is absolutely true that Su Qingqing is the daughter of General Yu Yang."
"Okay, this news is very timely. You stay here for a few days and I will make arrangements for you."
The man immediately stood up and said, "I came here for two reasons. One is to tell you the news, and the other is to meet the old prince."
Xiang Zheng, who was excited and shocked just now, suddenly became depressed. His sudden change of mood startled the man, "But the old prince is not well?"
Xiang Zheng waved his hand, "No." He paused and let out a breath, "Wait a minute, I'll make arrangements. Will you leave after meeting the old prince?"
"Um."
"Okay, wait a moment here. I'll pass on the message. If the old prince sees you, he will be very happy. It's been seven or eight years since we last met."
…
Prince's Mansion.
Su Qingqing just got up and saw Jixiang's anxious face. Jixiang rarely showed such an expression. Su Qingqing was worried, "What happened?"
Jixiang panted heavily and stood in front of Su Qingqing, "Dou Xun is here."
Dou Xun?
It had been so long since she had heard this name that when Su Qingqing suddenly heard it, she was stunned for a moment.
Dou Xun.
Summon the ministers of the country.
Dou Ziruo's father.
In Su Qingqing's mind, this person's face was already blurred.
Su Qingqing looked at Jixiang in astonishment, "Are you sure it's him?"
Jixiang nodded, "Early this morning, the queen asked me to guard the west gate, and Minglu and Minghe to guard the north and south gates respectively, to watch the people from Rong'an Marquis's Mansion leave the city.
It was Minghe who discovered Dou Xun. At that time, he was afraid that he had recognized the wrong person, so he found an excuse to ask the guards at the city gate to check passers-by, and then found this servant and asked her to go over and confirm.
I saw it clearly, it was Dou Xun, there is no mistake about it.
He entered the city disguised as a traveling merchant. After entering the city, Minghe followed him all the way and watched him turn left and right, pass through several mazes, and finally reach Xiang Mansion.
This is a serious matter. Minghe has already gone to inform His Highness. I will come back to tell you."
He dressed up as a merchant instead of an envoy and went straight to the palace when he arrived at the State of Yan.
Su Qingqing's heart suddenly hung in the air.
