It was all because Zhao Zhiyan discovered changes at the Princess's residence before returning, and he was in a hurry to plot and make enemies for the Princess's residence.
They also took the opportunity to completely absolve themselves of any responsibility.
Zhao Zhiyan was breathing rapidly, she was so angry she felt like she was going to die.
"Eighth Prince, from this day forward, our cooperation is null and void. The Zhennan Prince's Mansion will definitely uncover the truth!" The Zhennan Prince waved his hand: "Show him out!"
A dozen guards surrounded Zhao Zhiyan.
Helpless, he turned and left.
After everyone left, Xu Qing'er came out from a side room and took Pei Zhao's arm: "Husband, the Eighth Prince is indeed up to no good. Everyone knows that the Emperor favors the Princess's family. In the past three years, no one who opposes the Princess's family has gained any benefit. But the Eighth Prince is hiding in the back and letting us charge into battle."
Pei Zhao's expression grew even more unpleasant upon hearing this.
"My lord, the Eighth Prince doesn't want to annul his engagement with Song Yue, so he's deliberately using this opportunity to disrupt Song Yue's marriage to the Prince of Guangjia."
"Enough!" Pei Zhao was furious, regretting that he hadn't seen the truth sooner.
How foolish!
Xu Qing'er trembled and lowered her eyes, not daring to say anything more.
Pei Zhao turned to look at the Prince of Zhennan: "Father, what do we do now?"
The Prince of Zhennan's mansion is now a laughing stock, and we need to find a way to salvage it. Pei Zhao felt a sharp pain in his heart when he thought of his mother's injuries.
"They're already pushing us out before they've even taken the throne. What will become of them in the future?" The Prince of Zhennan sneered, and the feud was now firmly established.
"Once your mother's injuries have healed, send her to the family temple."
The Prince of Zhennan's mansion will never tolerate someone who has lost their innocence.
Pei Zhao was about to say something, but seeing the dark look on the Prince of Zhennan's face, he unconsciously swallowed the rest of his sentence.
Princess Zhennan, who was unconscious on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes. She looked up at the blue curtains; it was her room.
Zhao Qingyan stayed by her side, and when she saw that she had woken up, she called her "Auntie".
Princess Zhennan opened her mouth but couldn't utter a single word. Her hands and feet still had no strength left. She gritted her teeth and moved her fingertips.
"Aunt, are you pointing out characters?" Zhao Qingyan asked.
Princess Zhennan nodded.
Zhao Qingyan stood up and hurried to get the books, but Xu Qing'er walked in at that moment: "Sister, I just heard the maid say that Tiger was crying."
Upon hearing the name Tiger, Zhao Qingyan became anxious.
Xu Qing'er took the book from Zhao Qingyan's hand: "Sister, my sister has already gone to bed. Why don't you leave this to me?"
Without much thought, Zhao Qingyan handed over the book, then got up and hurriedly left with her maid.
One hour later
Xu Qing'er took three books to Pei Zhao: "Husband, husband!"
She opened the book and pointed to the circled words, which clearly stated: "This is not the princess's residence. Do not be taken advantage of."
“This is what Mother just pointed out.”
Pei Zhao was overjoyed: "It seems I was right after all. This matter really has nothing to do with the Princess's residence."
Xu Qing'er nodded abruptly and turned to another page; "Mother stared at this word for a long time, and I didn't understand what it meant either."
The character is 龄 (líng).
Pei Zhao couldn't figure it out.
"Could it be someone's maiden name? I've thought about it for a long time. Young ladies in the capital rarely use this character," Xu Qing'er wondered.
Pei Zhao quickly thought of someone and instructed the guards to investigate.
midnight
Finally, we received the news.
Princess Lian'an's real name was Xu Lingqing.
