Prince An tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, and his still somewhat childish face revealed a depth that was inconsistent with his usual style.
Ye Peizhu was curious when she heard this. Prince An suddenly seemed very reliable. "Oh? What's your idea?"
“We can prepare for the worst-case scenario first, such as finding no evidence that Prince Ning ordered the assassin to frame the third brother, or having irrefutable evidence that the third brother was accused of sending the assassin to assassinate our father.
How to deal with my third brother depends on my father.
No matter how the emperor will deal with my third brother, if something else happens to Prince Ning at this time, which is more serious than the assassination of my third brother, it may divert the emperor's attention.
Moreover, Prince Ning’s matter must be a matter of life and death, to the point where he must be ordered to be executed by my father!
A small witch meets a big witch. With the Ning Wang incident as a barrier, the emperor's punishment on the third brother may not be very severe, and it is even less likely that the emperor would order the execution of both sons at the same time.
What do you think of this idea, Sister-in-law?
Ye Peizhu thought about it seriously after hearing this. "Although it sounds a bit outrageous at first, it might be useful. But what kind of thing would have to happen to Prince Ning to make the emperor so angry that he would have to behead him?"
As soon as Ye Peizhu asked this question, she immediately thought of the Ning Wang's concubine.
Prince Ning's concubine is a spy from another country. If the old emperor knew that Prince Ning was colluding with a spy from another country to rebel...
The old emperor would be so angry that he would want to kill his son Prince Ning immediately for daring to covet his throne!
Compared with the fact that King Kang sent people to assassinate him, King Kang's incident did not seem so serious.
"This requires careful consideration, but the prerequisite for doing this is that my third brother is framed for the assassination of our father, which has become a foregone conclusion.
Now let's wait for A-Lin to come back and tell us about Third Brother's situation in the palace."
Prince An supported his chin with one hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Ye Peizhu nodded. "That's right. Prince Ning's affairs, no matter how we plan them, are always risky. If we can avoid this, that would be the best."
I hope the prince can get through this smoothly. She has a vague feeling that the concubine kept by Prince Ning is a spy, but it is not the time to expose it yet.
The uncle and his wife sat for a while before Alin finally arrived.
Prince An's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
"Alin, you're finally back! Is Third Brother locked up in jail?
How is your father feeling? Is he angry?
Have you issued any orders on how to deal with Third Brother?"
Prince An anxiously asked several questions in a row.
Alin still had a blank expression on his face, showing no emotion.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and allow me to report everything."
Prince An said "oh" and sat back, looking at Alin eagerly.
A Lin bowed to Ye Peizhu and said, "Princess Kang, Lord An, I have a general understanding of the current situation in the palace.
Several assassins did say in person that the person who ordered them to assassinate the emperor was Prince Kang, but because it was only a verbal statement, there was no definite evidence.
Therefore, the emperor did not send Prince Kang to prison, but temporarily placed Prince Kang in the palace.
Moreover, the emperor has already sent people to continue investigating the assassination. I believe that the emperor does not believe that Prince Kang would do such a thing.
Prince Kang is currently safe."
Alin's words made Ye Peizhu and Prince An feel a little relieved.
But thinking that although the emperor had sent people to investigate the assassination, it was not certain whether the real culprit could be found, both of them felt that it was a little too early to relax.
"Alin, in the next few days, you should pay more attention to the situation in the palace.
Also, investigate Prince Ning's movements. I suspect that the real culprit who ordered the assassination and framed my third brother is Prince Ning!
Ah Lin, I leave the matter to you. I believe you can handle it well!"
Prince An stood up and patted the shoulder of A Lin, who was a head taller than him.
A Lin glanced at Prince An lightly and said, "Yes."
"Okay, Third Sister-in-law, I can rest assured for now. I want to go see my niece."
Prince An rubbed his hands together, eager to hug the soft little ball of milk.
The uncle and sister-in-law went to the inner room. Song Jiujiu was crawling on the blanket with the little tiger cub under Qiuyun's care.
Prince An noticed the conspicuous little tiger cub at a glance.
He also remembered the voice of his little niece that he had heard on the mountain during the day.
Yes, my niece finally told the little tiger cub that she would find a chance to take it away.
And my niece seems to be able to communicate with the big tiger and the little tiger!
This is such a great secret!
Communicating with tigers and stuff like that is awesome!
Prince An tried his best to suppress his excitement and pointed at the little tiger in surprise.
"Hey? Isn't that little tiger the one that was on the mountain during the day? How come it's here?"
Ye Peizhu then remembered that she had forgotten to tell Qiuyun to hide the little tiger in advance.
But since Prince An saw it, so be it.
"Look, Jiuer likes the little tiger very much. My prince and I saw that Jiuer and the big tiger on the mountain can get along peacefully, and we thought that she would get along well with the little tiger as well.
So he asked the guards to try to bring the little tiger back, and unexpectedly they actually did.
The tiger cub appeared to be an orphan, and no other tigers appeared to stop the guard from taking the cub away."
Ye Peizhu gave a brief explanation.
"I see. In that case, it would be nice to raise a little tiger as a playmate for my niece."
