Chapter 946: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (Sixty-eight)
The information she found showed that the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple was clearly the Third Prince's man. On the surface, the Third Prince and his mother, Consort Tang Zhaoyi, were both dependent on the Crown Prince and the Queen. In reality, there were very few princes who did not want to be emperor.
The prince actually wanted to use horse racing to make his brothers behave themselves and not think about his position. If he wanted to harm others, he would not have the leisure to bring his new true love with him.
According to the information she had found out, this incident was caused by the Third Prince instigating the Crown Prince's followers to execute the criminal first and report to the Crown Prince later. When the Crown Prince heard the news, he was afraid that he would be implicated, so he naturally wanted to close the case quickly.
Song Qingting was the ready-made scapegoat, and Zhou Zhiying happened to be so sensible as to follow the prince's wishes.
She saw that the Third Prince was probably not satisfied with the result. After all, it did not shake the Crown Prince's foundation, nor did it cause the Crown Prince to fight with the First Prince.
"Don't worry, no one will poison you. You are safe."
Song Qingting didn't believe it. She felt very insecure.
"Eldest sister, can you stay with me? I'm afraid someone will harm me tonight and make it look like I committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
Qingli looked at Song Qingting like she was a fool. Why did she stay? Was there a deep sisterly bond between them?
"I've already told you, you're safe. His Majesty won't let anything happen to you. No one will believe you'd commit suicide." She paused for a moment before continuing, "The Dali Temple Minister is the Emperor's man. If you have anything to say, feel free to tell him. You can even redeem yourself for meritorious service."
Song Qingting said irritably, "How can I achieve merit? Aren't you making things difficult for me?"
Qingli felt that Song Qingting's memories of her previous life were obtained in vain, and she had just reminded Song Qingting, but Song Qingting didn't even think about the heroine of this life, Dai Yao.
In order to watch the show, she had to waste her breath. She approached Song Qingting and whispered:
"The Crown Prince wants you dead, so you just sit there and wait for death? Think about whether you have any leverage over the Crown Prince, or any other prince, as long as it helps consolidate your Majesty's imperial power.
But there's a premise: this is evidence you discovered accidentally, and it has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was discovered by accident, preferably at the horse farm, do you understand what I mean? It's not an attempt to spy on the royal family."
Song Qingting analyzed her elder sister's words word by word. Was she asking her to find something to hold against the princes, and then say that it was because she discovered the prince's secret that the prince wanted to silence him and put the blame on her?
Song Qingting pondered deeply.
"What evidence do you have... The eldest prince's wife actually likes her cousin, does that count? It's the eldest prince's wife who wants to harm me. No, no, no, it's the eldest prince who doesn't want people to know that his wife has another love, so he wants to harm me."
Qingli looked at the man in the cell speechlessly. That's it? He just liked her, and they hadn't met in private. Besides, did the eldest prince care about this? Even cared enough to kill her?
Song Qingting herself shook her head. What was she talking about!
"Think about it carefully. My sister-in-law should have returned from the Dai Mansion, and it's time for me to go home too. This is the food prepared for you, please eat it yourself."
She put the food box at Song Qingting's feet.
Song Qingting quickly squatted down, reached out through the gap in the prison door to open the food box, and saw the pastries inside, her mouth drooped.
"Why aren't these my favorite foods? Big sister, you clearly know what I like to eat, but you deliberately don't let me eat my favorite food, and you still blame me. Can't you forgive me?"
Qingli doesn't tolerate her and really doesn't want to talk to an idiot.
"Eat it or not, I'm leaving." Song Qingting stopped holding the snack.
"Talk to me again, don't leave!"
Seeing her elder sister's back slowly disappearing from her sight, Song Qingting simply sat on the ground and ate snacks with big mouthfuls. Even if she didn't like it, it was made by the chef of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the treatment was better than in prison.
As she ate, Song Qingting started to cry again.
"Wow, wow, why am I so unlucky! I finally got the chance to start over... and this is how it ended? It shouldn't be like this!"
Song Qingting felt that her dream of becoming a queen was shattered. She had never seen any queen being imprisoned in the Dali Temple before getting married.
Moreover, the charge of harming Geng Qianqian would probably never be cleared, and the emperor would not allow her to be the seventh prince's consort, even if Geng Qianqian died.
Even if she could get out of the Dali Temple, she could avoid the death penalty, but she could not escape the punishment of life imprisonment. The law was there.
Song Qingting was overcome with grief, crying as she ate. She nearly choked on her snack, patting her chest hard before finally catching her breath. "You gave me snacks but no tea! You have bad intentions!"
Song Qingting complained about her elder sister without stopping eating.
To survive, she kept thinking about her elder sister's words and everything she had experienced at the horse farm. Suddenly, she stood up and shouted, "Someone, someone, I want to see the Dali Temple Minister. I have something important to report."
