Chapter 1302 Secret 2

Princess Changyang was surprised to hear this and did not answer directly. Instead, she asked, "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

"A few months ago, I accidentally discovered something. After investigating, it seems to be related to the palace back then. I would like to ask Princess, what is the result of the investigation into the poisoning incident?"

"What did you find?" Princess Changyang asked.

"I can't reveal it for the time being, but I have some guesses in my mind, but I'm still lacking some evidence. Once all the evidence is collected, I'll show it to the prince and princess for review." Ye Qianning said.

Princess Changyang heard the cryptic meaning in her words and stopped asking questions, recalling what happened that year.

"Princess, who was that woman back then, and what grudge did she have with the palace? Can you tell me in detail?" Ye Qianning asked again.

Princess Changyang was silent for a moment before slowly nodding. Thinking of that woman, a fierce glint flashed across her eyes again: "That woman was originally my cousin. We grew up together. Grandpa had a marriage contract with the Nan family in the capital. At that time, the Nan family had not yet been crowned as a king and was still a military family in the capital. They were waiting for my two sisters to reach the age of marriage and then choose one of us to marry in the capital.

When the prince was a teenager, my cousin hid behind the screen and secretly fell in love with him as the master of the Nan family came to visit. However, my grandfather thought she was not stable enough and was afraid that marrying into a wealthy family would ruin the family reputation, so he asked me to exchange the engagement letter with the prince and get engaged. After that, no matter how my cousin made a fuss, it was of no use, and gradually she became distant from me.

After I married into the capital, I heard that my cousin had eloped with someone and disappeared. I didn't see her again until several years later. By then, I already had Feng'er and Su'er. It was Feng'er's fifth birthday party, and she came uninvited, crying about her difficulties and begging me to take her in. Thinking of our childhood friendship, I softened my heart and took her in. At that time, the prince was away on a military expedition, and she lived peacefully in the mansion for two years. The following year, Feng'er fell ill and passed away, and Su'er fell into the water... If she hadn't been by my side, accompanying me and comforting me, I wouldn't have made it..."

When talking about the past, Princess Changyang's eyes were red and her voice was choked. Losing two children in one year was the greatest pain in her heart.

“Later…” Princess Changyang’s red eyes were filled with hatred. “After the prince returned to the capital victorious and was named the King of the Heterosexual, she actually planned to give the prince that kind of medicine… If it weren’t for the prince’s determination, she would have succeeded. After the plot was exposed, I immediately had her expelled from the palace. After that, I had no news from her for a long time. However, I received her letters every year, and they were basically full of curses and insults… After the prince found out, he had the letters blocked, and I didn’t hear from her anymore.

When the prince received the news from the young master of the Zhan family, he led his men to the Babao Tower and brought her back to the palace. I only then learned that she had been in the capital all those years. The maids and servants in the palace who were in collusion with her committed suicide by taking poison before they could even be interrogated. She tried to bite her tongue to commit suicide but was stopped. After several rounds of interrogation by the prince, she confessed to the murder of Feng'er and Su'er. She said that I had taken her position and she wanted to make my life worse than death..."

Princess Changyang burst into tears after she finished speaking, with hatred in her eyes, she felt that life was worse than death...

She did it. If she hadn't taken her in out of weakness, her two children wouldn't have died...

She had done so many things that were detrimental to the palace right under their noses, and her Xiang'er almost lost her life. She hated her and also hated herself for not being able to protect them.

Ye Qianning listened quietly. It was understandable that a person would do crazy things because of hatred caused by love. Killing offspring was indeed more cruel than killing people. It had to be said that the person was indeed a sinister person.
