It was a bright spring day, and the Zhennan Palace was full of flowers and vitality.

Bai Linglong brought her four lively and lovely children, accompanied by Nangong Yan, to the East Palace to visit Crown Princess Xiao Ya and the new little prince.

Along the way, the children were like happy little deer, jumping and chirping.

"Mother, is the baby as lovely as I was when I was a child?"

The little daughter blinked her big watery eyes, took Bai Linglong's hand and asked.

Bai Linglong raised the corners of her mouth and smiled gently: "Of course, you will know when you see little brother."

Nan Jinxuan said proudly: "When he grows up, I will teach him how to ride a horse and shoot arrows!"

Nangong Yan watched from the side and couldn't help but smile: "You two will definitely become good partners."

They soon arrived at the East Palace, stepping into the majestic and magnificent palace that fully displayed the royal majesty.

In the bedroom, Xiao Ya half leaned on the bed. Although her face was a little pale, the pregnant little prince made her smile especially gentle and happy.

"Linglong, you are finally here."

Xiao Ya's eyes flashed with excitement and she struggled to get up.

Bai Linglong quickly stepped forward, held her down and said, "Crown Princess, you are still weak, please stop moving."

Nangong Yan also bowed and smiled, "Congratulations to the Crown Princess on the birth of her son. The little prince will surely be a dragon and a phoenix in the future."

The children gathered around the cradle with curiosity, their eyes wide open, looking at the sleeping little prince with wonder.

"His hands are so small!"

Nan Jinyi couldn't help but exclaim.

Just as everyone was immersed in joy, a burst of hurried and hurried footsteps was heard.

The guards of the Eastern Palace looked panicked and knelt down hurriedly to report: "Your Highness, something terrible has happened!

The prince sentenced Su Miaoyin to death in the main hall! ”

These words were like a thunderclap, instantly shocking everyone present.

The smile on Xiao Ya's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a look of shock and disbelief:

"This...what on earth is going on?"

Bai Linglong frowned, feeling a strong sense of uneasiness: "Let's go to the main hall and take a look."

When everyone rushed to the main hall, the hall was filled with a suffocating atmosphere of tension.

Nangong Ye nodded slightly, his eyes full of guilt and determination, then he raised his voice and said coldly to the guard beside him: "Come, get the poisoned wine and give it to Su Miaoyin. Watch her die from the poison and then come back to report!"

Upon hearing this, Su Miaoyin widened her eyes in horror, shook her head frantically, and crawled backwards using her hands and feet, crying, "Your Highness, spare my life!

I won’t dare to do it again, please spare my life…” However, Nangong Ye remained unmoved, his eyes filled with bone-chilling coldness.

The poisoned wine was served and Su Miaoyin's cries echoed in the hall, but nothing could change the predetermined outcome.

After Su Miaoyin stopped moving and the guards confirmed that she was dead, they withdrew and reported.

The palace maids and eunuchs on both sides were so frightened that they trembled all over and dared not breathe.

Nangong Ye had a frosty face, standing with his hands behind his back, exuding a terrifying anger.

"Your Highness, this..." Xiao Ya looked at the scene in front of her, her voice trembling, not daring to believe her eyes.

Nangong Ye turned around and walked to Xiao Ya's side. His voice was low but revealed an unquestionable firmness:

“She has attacked you and the child time and again. I can no longer tolerate such evil behavior.

Today, she must pay the price for what she did! ”

Bai Linglong stepped forward, looking solemnly at Nangong Ye and said, "Brother Crown Prince, my sister-in-law and the child have been through a lot. You have to give her an explanation and let this matter come to a thorough conclusion."

Afterwards, a young eunuch who was usually in charge of sweeping the floor came out from the corner trembling, and knelt on the ground with a plop. His voice was so trembling that it was almost inaudible:

"Masters, please spare my life. I know something about this. I will tell you everything. Please spare my life..."

Nangong Ye's eyes shot at the little eunuch like a sharp blade: "If you dare to tell a lie, you will be killed without a complete body!

Tell me quickly, what’s going on? ”

The young eunuch was so frightened that his face turned ashen, and he stammered, "Concubine Su has met with the Third Prince privately many times before, and each time she did it secretly.

Once, when the servants heard this, their faces suddenly changed.

Nangong Ye's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm. He had never expected this.

His own brother was so crazy that he was willing to hurt innocent people for the throne.

"How dare you, Third Prince, do such a heinous thing!"

Nangong Ye gritted his teeth, veins popping out on his forehead.

I often heard them say, "As long as something happens to the Crown Princess and the child, the East Palace will belong to the Third Prince sooner or later."..."

Nangong Ye nodded slightly and was about to speak when the little eunuch's words suddenly flashed through his mind. He thought calmly that it was impossible to prove the third prince's guilt based solely on the little eunuch's one-sided words.

If we impulsively go and confront the Third Prince at this moment, not only will it be difficult to convict him, but it will also alert him in advance and destroy the evidence.

Nangong Ye took a deep breath, suppressed his inner anger, and said to the crowd in a deep voice: "That's all for today, everyone please leave first."

After everyone left, Nangong Ye called in his personal guards, who had followed him for many years and were loyal and cautious.

"From now on, you must closely monitor the Third Prince's every move. Who he meets and where he goes must be recorded in detail, without missing any details.

Remember, we must be extremely careful and never let him realize that we are investigating him. ”

Nangong Ye had a stern look on his face and gave orders in a low voice.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Third Prince, Nangong Ye seemed to remain normal in the following days.

He still went to the palace on time to pay his respects to the emperor and participated in court meetings, just like usual.

At a palace banquet, the Third Prince put on a hypocritical smile and took the initiative to approach and greet, "Brother Crown Prince, I am so happy to hear that the bitch Su Miaoyin is dead.

But she actually dared to do something that would harm the Crown Princess and the Emperor's nephew. Could there be someone behind this? ”

Nangong Ye sneered, but his face remained calm, and he responded calmly: "Third brother, you are absolutely right. I will investigate this matter thoroughly, but I have no clues at the moment. If you have any clues, you must let me know."

The Third Prince waved his hands and said hypocritically, "Brother Crown Prince, you are too kind. What clues can I have? I just hope that the truth will be revealed soon."
