Song Shuwan sent Zhen Rong and Wen Yixiu away, thought for a while, and called An San over.
"Is there any news about your heir apparent?"
An San replied: "Not yet. Miss, do you want to send someone to ask?"
Song Shuwan frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, she rejected An San's proposal.
Unexpectedly, Pei Huan sent a message back that night, saying that Qinglian was about to return to Beijing and would discuss arrangements with her then.
Song Shuwan frowned. She didn't understand. Pei Huan insisted on taking Qinglian away before, so why did he send her back now?
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw that An San next to her had a strange look on her face: "What are you thinking about?"
An San raised his head: "Miss, Qinglian should be here for Prince Ning this time."
Song Shuwan's expression was stern. She had never expected that An San would say such a sentence. After being stunned for a short time, she asked: "What should I say? What's wrong with Prince Ning?"
"There is no problem with Prince Ning. The problem is with Qinglian. She estimates that she is going to come back and kill Prince Ning."
Song Shuwan was silent for a long time, then spoke: "Are you sure? With Prince Ning's current power, she can't kill him."
"What if the prince also intervenes?"
Silence fell in the room.
I don't know how long it took, Song Shuwan pressed her eyebrows: "I know it in my heart, let's wait until Qinglian comes back to talk about everything."
"yes."
The next day, Qinglian turned around.
Song Shuwan looked at her: "We are also traveling together. Tell me, why did you come back this time?"
Qinglian said nothing and handed over a box.
Song Shuwan opened it and her expression suddenly changed: "Imperial decree?"
Qinglian nodded: "Yes."
Song Shuwan's fingertips trembled slightly, and after several hesitations, she finally took out the imperial edict from the box. When she looked at the content, her expression became more horrified.
At this time, Qinglian spoke: "The Crown Prince said that Miss Song will not help Prince Ning. As a token of trust, Qinglian showed this imperial edict to Miss Song. Miss Song should be aware of it now, right?"
Song Shuwan twitched the corners of her mouth, and then slowly closed her mouth: "I do have some ideas in mind, but to ensure safety, I still have a few questions to ask."
"Miss Song, please speak."
"First, will the Crown Prince intervene? Second, how sure are you of taking action against Prince Ning? Third, what do you want to do in the end? Or, what do you want to be?"
Looking at each other, Song Shuwan and Qinglian remained silent because they both knew each other's thoughts, but when faced with these questions, they both chose to be cautious.
After a while, Qinglian said: "I will intervene, I am 80% sure. As for the third one, as long as the prince handles it properly, I don't mind becoming the second Hu Na."
The second queen?
Song Shuwan's eyes flashed with surprise, but she soon regained her composure.
"If you really have this idea, I think the Crown Prince will help you, but from my side...it's impossible to help on the surface."
"Qinglian knows that Qinglian just wants to use some power in Miss Song's hands to find out the news."
Song Shuwan nodded, put the imperial edict into the box, and handed it back to Qinglian: "As long as I can do anything, I will definitely help."
"Then, please trouble Miss Song."
Qinglian left with the imperial edict.
Song Shuwan stood there for a long time and called out the mountains and seas: "Do you think the Great Zhou Dynasty can have one more queen?"
Shan Hai had been listening just now, but now that he heard the inquiry, he lowered his eyes slightly and said softly: "As long as it works properly, it may not be impossible, but the price is very high."
Is it?
A glint flashed in Song Shuwan's eyes. As far as she was concerned, as long as she could achieve her goal of revenge, it didn't matter what the price was. She had more crucial things to figure out right now.
"Shan Hai, go check on Duke Xin's mansion for me, as well as the involvement of the Bai family and the Song family. In addition..."
She wanted to say about her mother, Mrs. Song, but she paused when the words came to her lips. There was one person who might know better about Mrs. Song.
"Stay back and go check on the two companies I mentioned."
"yes."
The next day, Song Shuwan went to see Jiang's mother.
Ever since the incident in Huayulou, when Mother Jiang was fished out by Song Shuwan, she specially rented a yard in the east of the city, and now everyone in Huayulou lives here.
When the two parties met, Song Shuwan asked about her mother.
Mother Jiang was a little stunned, but she said truthfully: "Your mother is very gentle, but she is not in good health, so she doesn't like to move on weekdays, but she is also kind to others, and everyone who meets her will praise her."
Song Shuwan nodded and asked, "Does Mother Jiang know about her natal family situation?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang's mother fell into silence.
After a while, Mother Jiang said, "What the young lady wants to ask about is actually the relationship between the Xinguo Duke's Mansion and the Bai family and her."
Song Shuwan was not surprised that she saw her thoughts, and she admitted neatly: "I didn't realize this problem before, but when Duke Xinguo and his wife came to the door, I suddenly realized that Duke Xinguo's mansion and the Bai family... were actually my mother's Relatives nearby.”
"Yes and no."
Song Shuwan was stunned by the answer given by Jiang's mother, and she subconsciously asked: "Why, yes or no?"
"Yes, because these two families do have some relationship with Madam. No, because their relationship is not close. Both of them have people whom Madam has saved, that's all."
Song Shuwan: "..."
So, those names are all false?
Due to shock, she remained silent for a while.
Mother Jiang didn't disturb her, she just whispered for someone to bring tea.
After a long time, a faint sigh sounded in the room, and Song Shuwan said: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a thing included."
Mother Jiang brought tea: "I didn't know that Miss would be troubled by this matter. I thought that Madam had told you earlier."
If her mother had told her, she wouldn't have been hiding it until now.
After pinching her brows, Song Shuwan took the tea, took a sip, and prepared to go back.
Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a sudden noise outside, followed by several screams.
Song Shuwan and Mama Jiang looked at each other, and they both stood up and walked out at the same time.
At this moment, the two people were knocked away and fell heavily in front of them.
Song Shuwan looked down and then raised her head, her brows furrowed for a moment. It was the Forbidden Army who made the move at the door. Why are they here?
"Miss Song? We are really destined."
The sudden greeting brought Song Shuwan back to her senses. She met Jing Ming's smiling eyes, and her heart sank instantly. This person showed up today, and it was obvious that he came with bad intentions.
"Why don't you say anything, Miss Song? But you don't want to see me?"
Song Shuwan smiled and said, "Jing Tou Ling is joking. I was just wondering why Jing Tou Ling brought so many people here? After all, what the Forbidden Army wants to do does not include people who go out to look for Hua Yu Lou. Bar?"
Jing Ming sighed: "If what Miss Song said spreads out, others may think of our forbidden army. Unfortunately, you have misunderstood. We are here today to arrest people."
