Logically, Zhu Chen should have gone to the palace to report to the old emperor about the events in Mucheng over the past six months as soon as he returned to Shengjing, but he has not yet gone to the palace, and there is a report from the secret guards in advance, so she understood immediately.

Zhu Chen must die, but she won't use such methods; she will kill him openly and honestly.

Lu Xiaoyun couldn't help but give Zhu Dan a deep look.

Zhu Yu took a pastry and ate it, then casually asked, "Fifth Prince, where did the powder come from? Are you trying to kill the Third Prince's wife to cause trouble in Zhu Chen's harem?"

Zhu Dan snorted coldly: "It was given by the Imperial Advisor. This powder can change a person's pulse. Even if a man takes it, he will feel nauseous and vomit when he smells anything fishy. It can also detect pregnancy."

"Zhu Dan, you!" Lu Xiaoyun's lips twitched. This move was too wicked. Zhu Chen had been away from the capital for half a year, but the Third Prince's Consort had been diagnosed with pregnancy. He was practically cuckolded. How could he tolerate this?

The Third Prince's wife, Xie Xinru, and Zhu Chen were childhood sweethearts with a deep affection for each other. However, upon returning to the manor, his own woman presented him with such a grand gift. It would be strange if the Third Prince's manor didn't turn upside down.

Zhu Yu snorted lightly, "The fifth brother is learning this rubbish from the Imperial Advisor."

Sure enough, a short while later, Feng Yan came to report.

"My lord, the Third Prince's residence has just dealt with a group of servants. More than ten servants around the Third Prince's wife were all beaten to death."

Lu Xiaoyun knew that Zhu Yu had planted spies in the Third Prince's residence.

"Where is the Third Prince's Consort?"

"She was locked up. The Third Prince was furious and slapped his wife several times, hitting her hard enough to smash her face. He wouldn't listen to her explanation at all."

Zhu Dan smiled and clenched his fingers.
