The Princess Consort of Pingnan's personal guards were all trained by her personally and obeyed only her orders; they did not belong to the Prince of Pingnan.

At this moment, she gave such an order, which surprised them, but they knew that their marital relationship had been very bad lately.

No one asked why; they just executed the orders.

As Yan Nan left with his personal guards, Ye Jingxian walked in, looking utterly dejected.

He looked at the Princess Consort of Pingnan and said, "Mother, I'm going to kill Anle!"

Princess Pingnan felt a mix of emotions upon seeing the ferocity and anger on his face.

She gritted her teeth and slapped him across the face.

He stood there, stunned, staring at her in disbelief.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Today you attacked your father in front of everyone without considering the consequences. How will people view you in the future?"

Ye Jingxian gritted his teeth and said, "He no longer has me in his heart as his son. Only when he dies can I inherit the throne of Pingnan!"

"I can never marry Anle again, and no one can help me in the future!"

Princess Pingnan took a deep breath and said, "Even so, you cannot attack your father in public!"

"This incident will be a stain on your record for the rest of your life."

"Even if he deserves to die, you should have let Ye Ye Junfei kill him!"

This was something she had planned beforehand.

She knew all too well how terrible the relationship was between Prince Pingnan and his son, Ye Junfei.

She felt that with just a little more provocation, Ye Junfei would take drastic measures against the Prince of Pingnan.

But Ye Junfei hasn't made a move yet, and Ye Jingxian is already impatient. She's very disappointed!

If they had been able to kill the Prince of Pingnan just now, that would have been fine, but they failed to do so, instead pushing the Prince of Pingnan towards Ye Junfei.

Princess Pingnan and Prince Pingnan had been husband and wife for many years, and she knew all too well the Prince Pingnan's grudge.

This time, after the Prince of Pingnan has dealt with today's events, he will take action against the mother and son.

This was creating her own most powerful enemy out of thin air, so Princess Pingnan was furious!

Ye Jingxian gritted his teeth and said, "I know all of this, but Ye Junfei is too cunning. He would never make a move."

"If Father can treat Mother like this, what else is he incapable of doing?"

Princess Pingnan was very disappointed when she heard Ye Jingxian's words. She had taught him a lot, but he had learned very little.

She knew it was because his life had been too smooth sailing before that he was acting this way.

She let out a soft breath and said, "Xian'er, life can't always be smooth sailing. You have to learn to be patient and strong."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Ye Jingxian's eyes. He said softly, "I understand the reasoning, but Mother, I've really had enough."

“I made preparations before I made my move today; I poisoned the knife I used to stab him.”

"That poison was bought from the Sage of Medicine. Although it's not a deadly poison that kills instantly upon contact with blood, it's still quite potent and powerful."

"It's better if he doesn't take the antidote pills he carries with him; if he does, he'll definitely die!"

Princess Pingnan was taken aback when she heard this: "The medicine the Sage of Medicine gave you?"

Ye Jingxian nodded: "He told me that if it weren't for my mother wanting to kill him, he wouldn't have attacked me."

“He is a doctor, he didn’t really want to harm me. He felt sorry for me and wanted to make it up to me. He asked me what I wanted.”

"So I asked him for that poison. I had someone test it, and the poison was extremely potent."

Princess Pingnan looked at Ye Jingxian with a complicated expression after hearing this: "Xian'er, you've been used as a tool."

“I know.” Ye Jingxian nodded: “The Sage of Medicine and the former Princess Consort had a very deep friendship.”

"He came to the palace this time to avenge the former princess, since it was my father who killed her."

Princess Pingnan felt a mix of emotions upon hearing this.

She knew all too well how the former princess Gu Yiyi had died:

Back then, the Prince of Pingnan was controlled by the Ye clan and was subject to their control at every turn. He desperately needed a force to restrain the Ye clan.

The Hu clan was the only clan that could rival the Ye clan at the time. Knowing the Prince of Pingnan's plans, their only request was that the Prince of Pingnan marry them and make them his principal wife.

After a moment's hesitation, the Prince of Pingnan agreed to the request.

His original intention was not to kill Gu Yiyi, but to arrange for her to stay at the manor.

It was Princess Pingnan who was jealous of Gu Yiyi's beauty and tampered with her during childbirth.

She originally intended to kill Gu Yiyi and her unborn child, but Gu Yiyi's constitution was very special, and the medicine she administered took effect slowly. Gu Yiyi gave birth to two children in Pingnan.

Then the poison that Princess Pingnan had put on Gu Yiyi took effect, causing her to bleed to death.

In essence, this matter was due to the indulgence of the Prince of Pingnan, who personally took action.

She didn't know how much of the truth the Medical Sage had uncovered, but she knew that he had come to the mansion this time to avenge Gu Yiyi.

The Medical Sage gave the poison to Ye Jingxian with malicious intent, since Ye Jingxian wouldn't have attacked the Prince of Pingnan this time without the poison.

Now that things have come to this, Ye Jingxian has already made his move, so she has to find a way to clean up the mess for him and prevent herself from being used by the Medical Saint.

She took a deep breath and said, "Don't believe everything the Sage of Medicine says. From now on, no matter what he tells you, don't believe it."

Ye Jingxian said softly, "Mother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"No one who came to witness the ceremony tonight will leave the palace alive. Ye Junfei has always been at odds with the King, so this matter can be pinned on him."

"And everyone in the entire Liefeng Prefecture knows that I am the heir whom my father has painstakingly groomed, so it is perfectly reasonable for me to succeed to the throne of the Prince of Pingnan."

Princess Pingnan knew from these words that this was something he had planned long ago, but she also knew that things were probably not that simple.

After all, the defenses of the Prince of Pingnan's residence were noticeably weaker than before, and many of the Prince of Pingnan's personal guards were not in the residence.

She said softly, "I'm afraid something else will happen today."

As she spoke, she recalled something else: "What about the Anle people?"

Ye Jingxian's face was grim: "He was still in the wedding hall just now."

In fact, when Princess Anle attacked Prince Pingnan at night, he had already silently retreated behind a pillar.

At that time, Ye Jingxian and Princess Pingnan were focused on Prince Pingnan, and no one paid any attention to him.

Because they believed that the Prince of Pingnan's mansion had been heavily guarded by them, and no one could escape.

They planned to deal with Princess Anle after dealing with Prince Pingnan, but she was nowhere to be found.

Princess Pingnan sent people to search everywhere, but still couldn't find Princess Anle. A bad feeling began to grow in her heart.

At this moment, she finally remembered what mission Princess Anle had brought when she came to the Pingnan Prince's Mansion.

She had previously disagreed with Ye Jingxian marrying Princess Anle because she was afraid of inviting trouble into the house.
