The emperor glanced at him intently. Why was the Cai family being dragged into this again?

However, Xie Tingzhou's request must have had a reason for allowing them to enter the palace, so it was granted.

Xie Tingzhou personally went outside the palace to pick up the person.

Prince Ning then looked at the Grand Princess and asked, "If Fu Jiang is not your descendant, you don't need to save him, do you?"

Having committed so many wrongdoings, being beheaded hundreds of times would be too lenient, yet this old princess still acts arrogantly due to her age and status, making things difficult for her father, the emperor.

His father, the emperor, had a really tough job.

The Grand Princess snapped out of her daze after hearing what the Marquis of Zhongyong had said.

If what Marquis Zhongyong said is true, then Marquis Zhongyong might be his grandson.

But the Marquis of Zhongyong was the emperor's man. He conspired with the emperor to secretly go to Qingzhou under the guise of suppressing bandits.

What if that old woman Cai was bribed by him and deliberately conspired with the emperor to deceive him?

When she first saved Fu Jiang, the emperor did not mention Fu Jiang's identity, which clearly meant that he wanted her to show favoritism towards Fu Jiang and deliberately suppressed her reputation.

“Your Highness, I have been waiting for this for many years. I dare not gamble based on the words of an old woman from the countryside.”

Even if Fu Jiang wasn't, she was determined to conspire with Kang Le on something big, and Fu Jiang was clearly one of Kang Le's people.

He knows countless secrets of Kang Le. If he is in dire straits and becomes loose-lipped, it will be detrimental to Kang Le.

It would be better to keep it for now, and settle accounts with him about the deception once the matter is settled.

Prince Ning's eyes widened.

Does this mean it needs maintenance again?

He then looked up at the emperor. The moment their eyes met, it seemed as if they were saying, "You're getting senile!"

Marquis Zhongyong glanced at the old princess, not disappointed, but wondering if she had lost her mind.

They even suspected that Fu Jiang had the ability to bewitch people and had bewitched the old princess.
