Although passing through the Royal Garden, it didn't spoil Concubine Song's interest in visiting the garden, and she continued to visit the Royal Garden surrounded by everyone.

However, her heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface. When she thought of her only younger brother Song Duan being imprisoned, she couldn't help feeling worried.

No one in this world knows Song Duan's character better than her sister. He knows that he has always been timid and cautious. It is impossible for him to hire someone to assassinate Su Yao. He must have been framed, and the person who framed him The person is likely to be Qi Wang Xiao Jie.

But that's exactly what worries her the most.

Although she has never confronted Xiao Jie face to face, she also knows a lot about Xiao Jie from her son Xiao Huang. She knows that Xiao Jie is a person who makes decisions before acting. Song Duan must have something to rely on.

Moreover, she also sent people out of the palace to inquire some information secretly, and she knew that the leader of the assassins was Fu Bo, the former housekeeper of her son Xiao Huang.She herself knew about this Uncle Fu, he was an expert in the world, and Xiao Huang was both a teacher and a father, and it was because of his careful cultivation that her son was able to stand out among the trees.

If the leader of the assassins who assassinated Su Yao was really the old housekeeper, Uncle Fu, it meant that the man behind the assassination of Su Yao was probably his son Xiao Huang.

But Concubine Song can't believe her inference anyway. No one knows her son's feelings for Su Yao better than her. She can't believe that her son will kill the woman he loves one day.

It's just that Xiao Jie dared to frame his younger brother Song Duan in such a way, and Concubine Song had to wonder whether her son really had some handle in Xiao Jie's hands, so that Xiao Jie acted so recklessly.

Thinking of this, Concubine Song only felt heavy in her heart, full of a sense of crisis.

If it is finally found out that the assassination of Su Yao was done by his son Xiao Huang, I'm afraid there will be no room for redemption.

"Is the concubine mother still angry about the matter just now?"

Wang Yu, the daughter-in-law at the side, could see that there was something wrong with Concubine Song's complexion, so she couldn't help asking with concern.

Concubine Song forced a smile: "How could it be, since I forgave her, why would I care about her again?"

Wang Yu groaned, and stopped talking.

Before she left Liangzhou and returned to Beijing, her husband Xiao Huang repeatedly told her to go to the palace more often to pay respects to Concubine Song and to do her filial piety for him. Naturally, Wang Yu couldn't refuse, so she had to agree.

Fortunately, Concubine Song is very kind to Wang Yu, her daughter-in-law. Every time she meets her, she always asks her how warm she is. This time, she specially leads her around the imperial garden in the palace, just because she is afraid that her Zhicui Palace, which is full of flowers and plants, is not suitable for her. It's just that I didn't expect to encounter a scene that shouldn't happen.

Wang Yu also felt that Concubine Song was too kind to that tongue-chewing court lady, but this was the palace after all, and it was inconvenient for her, a concubine, to intervene in the affairs of the palace, so she could only let Concubine Song handle it.

But at this time, although Wang Yu was accompanying Concubine Song to the garden, she was always thinking about her son Xiao Jing who stayed in Liangzhou. He was separated from his mother when he was still in his infancy, and he didn't know if other people could take good care of him. he.

Wang Yu was so engrossed in her thoughts that Concubine Song called her several times before she came back to her senses and looked at Concubine Song in a daze.

Concubine Song could also see that Wang Yu was absent-minded, she felt a little strange in her heart, and hurriedly asked concerned: "What's wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable?"

Wang Yu was afraid that Concubine Song would see something was wrong, so she hurriedly explained: "It's nothing, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night, I just need to rest more."

Hearing Wang Yu said that she didn't sleep well at night, Concubine Song seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "Did Jing'er cry at night, making you, a mother, fall asleep?"

Wang Yu shook her head and denied it with a smile: "How could it be? I leave Jing'er in the care of the nanny at night, so how could it affect my rest?"

Concubine Song's expression flashed a little unnaturally, her heart skipped a beat for no reason, but she continued calmly, "I haven't seen my good grandson for a long time, you might as well bring Jing'er to the palace if it's convenient someday, and let him As a grandmother, I will take good care of him for a few days."

Wang Yu smiled: "Since the mother and concubine have spoken, how can I, as a daughter-in-law, not give this face? I will make arrangements when I get home, and bring Jing'er into the palace for the mother and concubine in two days."

Concubine Song also showed a smile on her face, but no one noticed that her hands hidden in her long sleeves were already trembling...

After sending Wang Yu away, Concubine Song locked herself in her bedroom on the grounds that she was unwell, and did not allow anyone to enter and disturb her.

With no one else present, Concubine Song was finally able to remove all the disguises she put on in front of others. The flickering candlelight reflected her pale complexion, and her body was trembling uncontrollably.

At this moment, the words Xiao Huang said to her when he entered the palace in the New Year repeatedly echoed in her mind: "...Yu'er never wants to leave Jing'er for a moment, and even sleeps at night with Jing'er in her arms. Even her father, who loves Sun Ruming, refused to take Jing'er to live in the Governor's Mansion for two days..."

Thinking about Wang Yu's different attitude towards the child today, with Concubine Song's intelligence, she still doesn't understand what's going on.

What changed was not the daughter-in-law Wang Yu, but the son she brought back.

Concubine Song can now almost 100% determine that the child returning to Beijing with Wang Yu is definitely not her grandson Xiao Jing.

There is only one person who can persuade Wang Yu to leave her own flesh and blood in Liangzhou and bring a fake child back to Beijing to give an explanation to the court, and that is his son Xiao Huang.

Her son insisted on refusing to send his own flesh and blood to the capital as a hostage, and her mother knew better than anyone what his intentions were.

She was finally sure that the person who sent the assassin to assassinate Su Yao was her son Xiao Huang.

It is precisely because Xiao Jie is so sure that Xiao Huang is behind the scenes that he dares to frame his younger brother Song Duan so recklessly.

At this moment, Concubine Song was extremely struggling in her heart, and fell into an unprecedented dilemma——

Now there are only two choices before her, either to report on her son Xiao Huang, or to sit back and watch her own brother be framed to death...

Concubine Song locked herself in her bedroom for a whole night, and did not allow any palace people to approach her. No one knew what was going on in her heart that night...

But at dawn the next day, she went to Jiaofang Palace in person and begged Empress Sun to give her a document to leave the palace, expressing that she was going to visit her younger brother Song Duan in prison.

Empress Sun also knew about Song Duan's imprisonment, and gave Song Guifei a document without any hesitation, and comforted Song Guifei not to think too much. Now the case has not been fully investigated, and there may be a reversal.

Concubine Song didn't have anything, she just expressed her gratitude to Empress Sun, and as soon as she left Jiaofang Palace, she immediately left the palace and went to the prison of Dali Temple...
