Chapter 400 Suspecting Su Wanrong
Su Qing didn't mention opening a shop for the time being. It wouldn't be too late to promote it after it opened.
Princess Shaohua put the gold lockets given by Su Qing on the two children. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them. If it weren't for Su Qing, she didn't know if she could still give birth to a child!
Thinking of this, Princess Shaohua had the two children taken away, turned around, took Su Qing with her, and went to the garden at the back.
Su Qing didn't know what Princess Shaohua was going to do, so she just let the princess pull her away silently.
The two of them sat down in the pavilion in the garden. Su Qing panted and said, "I wonder if the princess has anything to ask me?" She was a little confused, wondering why Princess Shaohua was so eager to invite her over.
Princess Shaohua took a few deep breaths, as if trying to calm down, but there was still a trace of anxiety and hesitation in her eyes. Finally, she made up her mind and slowly said, "Xiaoqing, I want to ask you something, you must answer me truthfully." Princess Shaohua's tone was extremely serious, which made Su Qing nervous.
Su Qing quickly nodded and agreed, "Princess, please feel free to speak up. I will tell you everything I know." She knew that Princess Shaohua trusted her very much, so she would definitely take this issue seriously.
Princess Shaohua stared into Su Qing's eyes, as if she wanted to see the truth from her eyes. Then, she sighed softly and asked, "Xiaoqing, have you felt my brother's pulse?" Princess Shaohua's voice revealed a trace of worry and uneasiness.
Su Qing shook her head to express her denial. "No, what's wrong? Is the emperor not feeling well? I can go to the palace with you to take a look." Su Qing frowned, feeling a little surprised. The emperor's health has always been good, why would Princess Shaohua suddenly ask this?
However, Princess Shaohua remained silent, with a hint of embarrassment on her face. She lowered her head and looked at the corner of her clothes, as if thinking about how to express her next words.
Su Qing was extremely anxious and could not help but urging, "Oh, my princess, please tell me, I'm so worried." Her voice was filled with anxiety and concern, hoping to understand the situation as soon as possible.
"Well~ Let me put it this way, I don't think the baby in Concubine Xian's belly is my royal brother's." Princess Shaohua sighed helplessly.
"What? Princess, don't talk nonsense. This is a capital crime punishable by beheading! If my entire clan is exterminated, I'll be finished. My last name is Su too!" Although Su Qing was heartbroken, she still wanted to protect Su Wanrong on the surface. After all, she knew that no matter how Su Wanrong treated her, she was still surnamed Su and a member of the Su family.
Su Qing looked at Princess Shaohua and thought to herself, "It seems that what Ruxue saw and heard before was true."
"I'm only telling you this! Why kill all nine clans? My mother, my brother and I don't want you to die!" Princess Shaohua comforted Su Qing, telling her not to be afraid.
"Why would the princess suspect Su Wanrong?" Su Qing wanted to know if Princess Shaohua had discovered anything.
"I discovered it by accident." Princess Shaohua lowered her voice and said, "One time I went to visit my mother, and I happened to see her and the queen reading the book sent by the Jingshifang. I looked at the days when Su Wanrong was favored by my brother, and I also noticed that her belly seemed to be bigger than that of an average pregnant woman."
Su Qing frowned in thought. Princess Shaohua's keen observation was truly admirable.
"However, this is just my guess and there is no conclusive evidence. So I would like to ask you, is there any way to confirm whether the child is my brother's?" Princess Shaohua looked at Su Qing expectantly.
After thinking for a moment, Su Qing replied, “The pulse may provide some clues, but further examination is needed to confirm the diagnosis.
We can look for other clues, or wait for the right time to make plans. This matter is of great importance and must be handled with caution. "
Princess Shaohua nodded, agreeing with Su Qing's statement. "Xiao Qing, you know that the royal bloodline cannot be mixed. Even if she is your fourth sister, I will not let her go easily."
"Then...if it is really what the princess wants, what should the princess do? Kill Su Wanrong? I'm afraid we will all be implicated!" Su Qing didn't want to be implicated in Su Wanrong's affairs. Jiang Nian and Jiang Yan were still young. She was asking for trouble, so don't drag the whole family down with her.
"If Su Wanrong really did such a thing, I would not make a big deal about it. After all, it involves the reputation of the royal family. I can only deal with Su Wanrong's child first, and then find a way to deal with her." Princess Shaohua clenched her fists tightly.
"I hope it's just our guess." Su Qing said this deliberately. No matter how close she was to Princess Shaohua, Princess Shaohua was still a member of the royal family. No matter how bad Su Wanrong was, she was still her family.
Thinking of my family, I have to go back to the general's mansion soon to find out whether I am related to Aunt Liu or General Su. I have to find a way to verify it.
Princess Shaohua looked worried. "I think it's just my guess. But I know my brother's physical condition very well. It's very difficult for us siblings."
Su Qing knew exactly what Princess Shaohua meant. It was easier for women to adjust, but it would be really difficult for men. If there was a chance, she would definitely feel the emperor's pulse.
"Princess, let's go back to the banquet. Today is the hundred-day banquet for our two children. We can chat about family matters another day when we have time. So many people are waiting for you to take charge!" Su Qing didn't want to discuss this further.
"Okay. Let's go, Xiaoqing. You must come to see me when you have time, okay?" Princess Shaohua pulled Su Qing and acted coquettishly.
"I can't be like the princess, who is so free. I still have a lot of things to do! If I have time, I will definitely come to see the princess and chat with her." Su Qing deliberately argued with Princess Shaohua. She must never let this kind of thing happen to her.
