"princess."
Qiuyun came into the room and called Ye Peizhu with a worried look on her face.
"What happened? Feel free to tell me."
Ye Peizhu watched her daughter finish the last sip of goat milk in the bowl, put the bowl on the table, and gently patted her daughter's back to burp her.
"Princess, I just heard that Prince Ning returned home unharmed. Now people outside are talking about our prince being the real murderer who sent someone to assassinate the emperor."
Qiuyun’s words stunned Ye Peizhu and Song Jiujiu, mother and daughter.
"What? Prince Ning is back home?!"
"Has that scoundrel Prince Ning returned home? Why hasn't my father come back yet?!"
No, why is the old emperor so useless?
Didn't we have the evidence? Wasn't it already proven beyond a doubt that it was the evil Prince Ning who went to the Killing Pavilion to hire someone to assassinate the old emperor?
Why did the old emperor release Prince Ning?
Where's my dad? How come he hasn't come back yet?
Song Jiujiu was so angry that she danced and screamed.
Ye Peizhu hugged the little baby tightly in her arms and frowned, "This shouldn't go wrong.
I heard that the evidence is Prince Ning's token, plus the testimony of the killers in the Killing Pavilion, and the killers detained by the emperor also have the mark of the Killing Pavilion on their bodies.
This is enough to prove that it was Prince Ning who hired someone to assassinate the emperor. Why did the emperor let Prince Ning go?
What went wrong...”
[Yes, something went wrong! ]
Song Jiujiu puffed up her cheeks angrily and agreed with her mother in her heart.
"Princess, would you like me to ask Prince An to send someone to the palace to inquire about the situation?"
Qiuyun suggested.
But before Ye Peizhu could make a decision, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.
The three of them looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was King Kang!
King Kang was dressed neatly, but his expression looked a little unhappy.
"Madam, Jiuer, I'm back."
[Daddy! Daddy, please tell me what's going on with that scoundrel Prince Ning!]
Song Jiujiu babbled and stretched out her chubby little hands towards her daddy.
Prince Kang took his daughter in his arms and sat down next to his wife.
Seeing that the prince had also returned, Qiuyun quietly retreated.
"Your Highness, you look thinner. Are you under house arrest in the palace?"
Ye Peizhu looked at her husband with eyes full of heartache.
King Kang held his daughter in his arms and held his wife's hand in his big hand to comfort her.
"In the past few days, I have indeed been under house arrest in the palace, but my father has not withheld my food and drink."
"That's good, but regarding Prince Ning's matter, do you know what the situation is?
The evidence is clear, so why didn't the Emperor detain Prince Ning and instead released him? "
Ye Peizhu couldn't wait to ask about this.
The little kid lying in his father's arms was looking at him eagerly, waiting for his answer.
Prince Kang had a complicated expression, "I heard that the murderer was one of Prince Ning's men. According to Prince Ning himself, his men stole his token and went to the Killing Pavilion to buy my father's life.
That person admitted that he had done all this behind Prince Ning's back, so the emperor could no longer convict Prince Ning."
Upon hearing this, Ye Peizhu's expression looked unhappy.
"Your Majesty, do you believe what Prince Ning said?"
Prince Kang shook his head, "I feel that the so-called murderer is just a scapegoat pushed by Prince Ning.
It can only be said that Prince Ning was well prepared and anticipated this, which is why he escaped this disaster so smoothly.
Otherwise, this time the evidence is really conclusive.”
[That’s right, Daddy, you guessed right. The bad guy Prince Ning was indeed well prepared.
He personally sent people to kill the parents of his subordinate, and he put the blame on the old emperor, making the subordinate always believe that the old emperor was the enemy who killed his father and mother.
In addition, Prince Ning was usually nice to him, so when Prince Ning asked him to take the blame this time, he accepted it.
Although I also saw this incident in my dream, I never thought that King Ning would find a scapegoat, and the scapegoat actually took the blame.
Well, thinking about it this way, it's really frustrating. The evidence is so conclusive, and we're just one step away from taking down that villain, Prince Ning.
Song Jiujiu sighed in her heart and sighed twice.
Ye Peizhu sighed, "What a pity, what a pity this time. It seems that the matter of the prince being framed by Prince Ning will just end like this."
"My father came to see me this morning and told me that it was Prince Ning who framed me.
My father also said that he would seek justice for me."
Prince Kang's words made Ye Peizhu frown slightly.
She thought that her husband, who was overly yearning for fatherly love, would go on to say something like how good his father was to him and how touched he was.
But what King Kang said next really surprised her.
"Every word that the emperor said sounded strange to me. Although he said he would help me get justice, it made me feel like he was trying to sow discord between me and Prince Ning.
Just as my father finished speaking to me in the morning, I learned in the afternoon that the real culprit who framed me was not Prince Ning, but Prince Ning's subordinates.
My father said that he would deal with the real culprit, which would be an explanation to me.
Madam, do you think my feelings are correct? Or am I overthinking it?
[Daddy, you are finally not so naive anymore!
It's really not easy! My dad has finally grown up! I'm so relieved!
Song Jiujiu raised her chubby face and looked at her father with satisfaction, slurping her saliva.
King Kang: “…”
How naive is he as a father in his daughter's heart?
