Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials immediately sided with Pei Zhao.

If it weren't for a firm promise, who would dare to gamble their future?

“Princess, if what the Grand Madam says is true, I implore you to obtain an imperial edict.” Pei Zhao’s gaze turned to Zhao Yunke.

"I believe that the Third Miss has been deceived. Someone must have deliberately sabotaged her behind the scenes. I will not pursue the matter against the Third Miss. I only need to severely punish the person behind the scenes."

Upon hearing this, Song Yue's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Princess Jia Hua smiled and asked, "Then, according to the Crown Prince, how should he be severely punished?"

"Demoted to a commoner!"

Song Yue was about to speak when Zhao Yunke stopped her, signaling her not to act impulsively.

“How is this fair?” Princess Jiahua said disdainfully, “You have been demoted to a commoner, but your two children can still inherit the title. My daughter A Yue will give birth to a commoner in the future. If you want to gamble on the truth, then gamble the title of the Prince of Zhennan’s Mansion on the title of the Prince of Guangjia’s Mansion. That’s what’s fair!”

Pei Zhao's pupils contracted, and he looked nervously at the Prince of Zhennan.

The Prince of Zhennan also looked rather grim, unsure of Princess Jiahua's true intentions, and thus remained silent for a long time.

Princess Jiahua looked at Zhao Yunke: "I will accept the bet on your behalf. Do you have any objections?"

Zhao Yunke cupped his hands and said, "Your subject has no objection; I will listen to Mother."

Now the situation has reversed, and the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is the one being forced into a difficult position. Princess Jiahua then said, "You will lose your throne, surrender your military power, move out of the mansion, and you will not be able to take with you anything bestowed upon you by the royal family. Furthermore, your descendants will never be allowed to hold office!"

Every word was like a hammer blow to the heart of the Prince of Zhennan.

This startled the Prince of Zhennan. He opened his mouth, but lacked the courage to respond.

Princess Jia Hua, exuding an imposing aura, fixed her gaze on Zhao Zhiyan: "How about we have the Eighth Prince as our witness?"

Zhao Zhiyan pursed her lips.

"As soon as a trace of poison is found in the Grand Madam's body, I will immediately enter the palace to request permission." Princess Jia Hua's gaze was unwavering, her eyes sharp and piercing.

The atmosphere was heavy.

Ultimately, the Prince of Zhennan dared not gamble with the throne. Losing the throne would mean having no chance to recover, and his future life and death would be at the mercy of others.

"I can take your place..."

“Eighth Prince!” A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Prince of Zhennan: “You believe Zhao’er in this matter. After all, you said that the Third Miss is unruly and could very well be manipulated. Zhao’er has just figured out the cause and effect. How about we bet your title on it?”

As long as Zhao Zhiyan dares to agree, the Prince of Zhennan will go all out.

At worst, neither of them will receive a title.

Zhao Zhiyan's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

Princess Jia Hua nodded: "I think it's a good idea."

"I will not interfere in the affairs of the two families." Zhao Zhiyan cleared his throat and declined, "It was merely a few words of advice to the junior. The deceased is gone, why hold a grudge?"

When Zhao Zhiyan distanced himself from the situation, the Prince of Zhennan knew that the bet was unreliable, and he winked at Pei Zhao.

There will be plenty of opportunities for revenge; it won't hurt to wait a little longer. Don't be fooled by Zhao Zhiyan.

"In that case, anyone who dares to cause trouble at the Duke of Jingguo's residence, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Princess Jiahua's face darkened. "The Duke's residence held the Grand Madam in the highest esteem. She passed away happily without any regrets; it was a joyous funeral!"

The sound of weeping arose, and people offered incense to mourn.

The Prince of Zhennan glanced at Zhao Zhiyan, but the latter didn't even give him a second look before quickly leaving, leaving the father and son somewhat embarrassed.

As for Pei Zhao's earlier threat of kidnapping two children, the others didn't take it to heart at all.

Because of Song San Guniang's notorious reputation and consistent style.

Everyone has long been used to it and is no longer surprised.
