Xiao Qingyin couldn't live a single day of completely abandoning herself and living as someone else.

This reveals the depth of guilt and remorse hidden in Princess Zhaoyang's heart.

But this was clearly not her fault.

She simply wanted to see the white deer with her sister, and she even brought guards with her. They were only going to the western suburbs of the capital, where the imperial army was stationed.

Instead of like Ji Yunhua, who traveled all over the country alone.

Who would have thought that a group of ruthless assassins would appear?

Xiao Qingyin sighed silently.

What does it mean to be manipulated by fate?

That's it.

"Just who are those assassins?"

She muttered to herself.

Why would you want to assassinate a princess?

Princess Zhaoyang's crying had stopped. Hearing her muttering, she looked up and replied:

"My mother and I investigated for a long time, but we couldn't find out the identities of those assassins. My sister has always been kind to everyone and has never made enemies with anyone, so we couldn't find any suspects."

"You don't necessarily have to make enemies to be hated."

Xiao Qingyin replied.

Like her and the Third Princess, they had no grudges at the beginning, but because of that ingrate, the Third Princess started biting her like a mad dog.

"It could also be due to jealousy."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Marquis Yong'an.

"Your Excellency was once the top scholar in the imperial examination, possessing both talent and good looks. You must have been very popular with ladies. I wonder if there was any lady who was particularly infatuated with you?"

"It seems not..."

Marquis Yong'an replied.

After being selected as the top scholar in the imperial examination, he immediately asked to marry the eldest princess. Everyone knew he was the future prince consort, and no one deliberately tried to curry favor with him.

But as he flipped through his memories, he remembered someone.
