8 As soon as Ye Peizhu entered the room, she saw her daughter lying on the blanket, with the little tiger cub licking her face.
When Song Jiujiu heard her mother's voice, her eyes lit up instantly.
[Mother! Mother, where have you been? Where is Daddy?]
When I woke up, I found that you were not in the room. 】
Ye Peizhu walked over, picked up her daughter, and used a handkerchief to wipe her little face which was wet from being licked by the little tiger cub.
"Baby, you slept for quite a long time. You must have peed. Mommy will change your diaper.
Your father has gone to the palace, and we don't know when he will be able to return after clearing his name. Mother will be with you tonight."
Song Jiujiu was laid flat on the crib and her feet were pulled up to change her diaper.
Her face was filled with confusion. "Daddy went to the palace? To clear his suspicion? I remember now. Could it be because of the assassination attempt on the old emperor today?"
Did the real culprit behind this really put the blame on my dad?!
Then I have a bad feeling that my father might be called into the palace by the old emperor.
But I didn't have any precognitive dreams during this sleep.
According to my previous experience, if I didn't have a precognitive dream, then Daddy should be fine and will definitely be able to successfully overcome this crisis.
However, I am still very worried about my father. I don't know what the old emperor will do this time, and I don't know if the murderer behind the scenes has fabricated any evidence to frame my father.
Song Jiujiu was worried and looked gloomy.
Ye Peizhu listened to her daughter's thoughts and seemed to be thinking about something.
After she changed her daughter's diaper, she asked Qiuyun to look after her daughter and went out to call the secret guards.
Since the assassins who tried to assassinate the old emperor were either dead or fled, the survivors were captured by the old emperor's men and taken to the palace.
There is no way to investigate the situation of these assassins.
But you can take a detour.
"I asked you to keep an eye on Prince Ning before. Did you find anything unusual? Did you plant spies in Prince Ning's mansion?"
Ye Peizhu asked in a low voice.
Secret Guard: "Princess, if you say there's anything unusual about Prince Ning, there really isn't. Prince Ning's daily life is very regular. He basically runs between the Palace, Prince Ning's Mansion, and the Outer City and Outer Chambers. He'll go to Bole Square from time to time.
Spies have been placed in Prince Ning's mansion, but so far no unusual behavior has been detected."
Hearing this, Ye Peizhu felt something was strange.
As the eldest son of the old emperor, Prince Ning's desire for the throne is visible to the naked eye.
But the prince who longs for the throne so much does not do anything to strive for the throne on a daily basis.
Is this reasonable?
It is unlikely that Prince Ning gave up fighting for the throne.
It seems that Prince Ning is hiding deeper than Prince Gong.
A superficial investigation alone may not necessarily reveal any clues related to Prince Ning.
The only thing they can grasp now is that Prince Ning has a concubine and that the concubine is a spy.
But this matter cannot be easily exposed unless it is absolutely necessary.
Ye Peizhu pondered for a moment, "What Prince Ning did privately, I'm afraid only his confidants know, so investigating like this won't reveal anything, but I'll continue to keep an eye on him.
Send a few people to keep an eye on Princess Ning and Song Zhu, and see when Princess Ning discovers the existence of the concubine."
"yes."
Not long after the secret guard agreed and left, a servant came to report that Prince An had arrived.
Prince An changed into his favorite red clothes and hurried to the main hall.
"Third sister-in-law, I heard that Third Brother was brought into the palace by Eunuch Fuquan himself?
Fuquan also said that Third Brother ordered those assassins to kill Father in the mountains today?"
Prince An brought up the matter anxiously before he even stepped in.
Ye Peizhu nodded with a look of worry in her eyes, "Yes, I heard from Eunuch Fuquan that several assassins personally said that it was Prince Kang who ordered them.
As for whether there is any conclusive evidence, I don’t know. Seventh brother, you know your third brother would never do such a thing!
Moreover, there were assassins shooting arrows at Jiuer and me on the mountain at that time. Just based on this point, I absolutely do not believe that the assassins were ordered by your third brother!
I'm afraid someone is trying to frame your third brother! I don't know what the situation is like in the palace now."
Prince An's expression was not very good either. "Someone must have framed Third Brother! How could Third Brother have someone assassinate Father for no reason? Absolutely impossible!"
Don’t worry too much, Third Sister-in-law, this matter will definitely be investigated thoroughly!
My younger brother has already sent someone to the palace to inquire about the current situation of my third brother. Let's wait for the news.
"Where's my little niece? Is she asleep? She's a very smart child, and I'm afraid she's also worried about her third brother."
"Jiu'er should not be asleep yet, Seventh Brother, do you want to go check on her?"
Prince An thought about it and refused for the time being. "Let's not look at it for now. Let's wait for A Lin to come back and tell us about Third Brother's situation. Third Sister-in-law, have you ever thought about who might be the one who framed Third Brother?"
Ye Peizhu's eyes flashed. She had thought about it, of course, but could she tell the truth to Prince An?
“I thought about it, but…”
Ye Peizhu hesitated and didn't say it directly.
"Third sister-in-law, I've thought about this too. After much thought, the only person in the capital who would frame Third Brother and sow discord between him and the Emperor is Prince Ning."
Prince An came straight to the point and said, "If we can find evidence that Prince Ning ordered an assassin to kill our father, we can rescue our third brother!"
Ye Peizhu rubbed his brows. "But I'm afraid it won't be easy to find evidence. Prince Ning is always cautious. If he really framed me, he would definitely cut off all the clues."
"Yes, this is what Prince Ning would do, so my brother has another idea."
