"There was no need for any interrogation; they took the initiative to reveal the person who ordered them.
Among these fifteen assassins, ten were hired assassins. They said that they were hired by the leader of the remaining five assassins for five hundred taels to assassinate the princess and the young lady.
After the subordinates interrogated the five assassins, they said that the mastermind behind the scenes was Concubine Shu.
However, his subordinates picked up the token belonging to Prince Gong that was dropped by the assassin.
I am a foolish subordinate and I don't know whether it was Prince Gong or Consort Shu who was behind this."
The guard's words left both Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu stunned.
This was the first time they had seen this situation.
Ye Peizhu frowned and asked the guards, "Have you asked those assassins who was carrying this token?"
The guard said embarrassedly, "Princess, I forgot to ask."
Ye Peizhu stuffed the token back into the guard's hand and said in a straightforward tone, "Go and ask him. If he refuses to confess, torture him directly."
"yes."
The guard responded and looked at the prince, "Does the prince have any other instructions?"
Prince Kang waved his hand and said, "Do as the princess says."
"yes."
After the guards left, Ye Peizhu glanced at Prince Kang, who looked gloomy, and raised his eyebrows.
"Your Highness, what are you thinking now? Prince Gong has already attacked us for the second time.
This is what we know, but before Jiuer was born, we didn't know how many times Prince Gong had secretly attacked us.
Your Highness's face has already been stepped on by Prince Gong, is Your Highness really not going to do anything?"
Ye Peizhu deliberately said the last sentence in a harsh way.
Sure enough, King Kang's face darkened a little.
"Do it! My Prince Kang's Mansion cannot be plotted against so many times!
If I do this once or twice, I'm afraid Prince Gong will laugh at me in his house and call me a coward, and won't dare to do anything to me!"
Ye Peizhu nodded with relief, "Your Highness, the last time Prince Gong and his wife came to the mansion, I heard some things from Jiuer's inner thoughts.
Maybe we can take a long-term view.”
She didn't want the prince to just fight with Prince Gong in a fit of rage, or go and complain to the old emperor.
What she hoped was to use what Jiuer knew about Prince Gong's Mansion in her previous life to deal a fatal blow to Prince Gong's Mansion in this life!
Let Prince Gong never be able to plot against Prince Kang’s Mansion again and go against them!
"Daughter told me about Prince Gong's Mansion?"
King Kang became interested.
"Yes, Prince Gong married Princess Gong, a concubine's daughter, just to be a shield. In her previous life, Princess Gong died after blocking a sword for Prince Gong.
After her death, Prince Gong made a concubine in the backyard his principal wife.
Jiuer said that Prince Gong probably did this because he knew the concubine's background, because the concubine's background could bring him benefits.
As for her background and interests, Jiuer did not say anything.
But I guess it might be beneficial for Prince Gong to fight for power.
Your Majesty, please have someone investigate Princess Gong and her son, as well as Prince Gong's concubines, to see if there are any orphans or those with ordinary family backgrounds.
That night, I saw that although Princess Gong had given birth to a child, she seemed very curious and interested in Jiuer.
And when I mentioned her child, her expression was obviously wrong.
There must be something hidden behind this, and if we can investigate it thoroughly, it might be beneficial to us."
Ye Peizhu was in high spirits and explained the matter clearly and logically.
King Kang looked at his wife with bright eyes, "Madam, you are indeed smart! Just do as you say!"
When Ye Peizhu met King Kang's passionate gaze, a look of shame appeared on her well-maintained face.
"My Lord, why are you looking at me like that?"
Prince Kang held his wife's smooth little hand and said with emotion, "I feel that I am not worthy of you. Madam is truly worthy of being General Ye's daughter.
If you were a man, you would be galloping on horseback with General Ye on the vast frontier right now, instead of being trapped in this mansion taking care of your husband and children.
I am sorry for wronging you. I am a weak-willed person, so I need you to worry about some things."
King Kang's narrow eyes were filled with guilt.
Ye Peizhu pursed her lips and smiled, her beautiful eyes full of tenderness, "Your Highness, don't think like that. It's my wish to be a wife and mother.
As long as Your Majesty trusts me and can tell me whatever happens, that is enough."
"Of course! I will never lie to you! I have remembered everything you just said, and I will have someone investigate!"
After King Kang finished speaking, he suddenly remembered what happened at his mother-in-law's house and spoke quickly.
"Madam, the matter of the relationship between my mother-in-law and my brother-in-law...I think you've heard your daughter mention it too."
Ye Peizhu nodded, "Yes, to be honest with you, Your Highness, when I first learned about this, I sent someone to investigate.
Your Highness should know that my father gave me several secret guards.
I asked them to investigate Ye Shuxun's background, but they didn't find any clues.
No matter how we investigate, we can confirm that Ye Shuxun is indeed my mother's biological son.
But Jiuer's heart doesn't say that."
"Yes, the result of the investigation that my husband sent people to investigate is the same. It seems that we should find an opportunity to ask Jiuer and see if she can talk about this matter again."
Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
The couple spoke frankly for a while, and then the guards came again.
"Your Highness and Princess, I have quickly interrogated the assassins, and one of them claimed to have been hired by Concubine Shu.
He said that the token fell out of his body and his master was Prince Gong.
He said that Prince Gong's goal was the same as Concubine Shu's, both wanted to kill the princess and the young lady.
As for the reason, he said he didn’t know.”
The guard's words made King Kang's face so dark that ink could drip out.
"Tie up those assassins working for Concubine Shu, and have them follow me into the palace later!
Also, tell the second, third, fourth, and fifth brothers to feign illness and disguise any injuries that need to be disguised!"
King Kang's order suddenly made the guard's blood boil, and he responded loudly.
"yes!"
King Kang's eyelids jumped, "Shut up! Keep your voice down! Don't wake up my daughter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a baby crying in a baby's voice was heard from the inner room.
At the same time, the little baby's voice also rang in the ears of King Kang and Ye Peizhu.
[Woo woo woo, what's that sound that scared me to death! It's so loud!]
I was dreaming about chewing a chicken drumstick. I was startled awake by the sound just as I was biting the drumstick!
Ahh ...
Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu almost laughed out loud.
How much does their daughter love to chew on chicken legs?
"Please forgive me, my lord and princess! I didn't mean it!"
The guards were terrified when they heard the young lady crying.
Everyone in the palace knows that the prince dotes on the young lady!
The young lady was frightened and started crying. Would the prince spank her?!
"I am willing to be spanked, please be gentle, Your Majesty!"
