Lady Wanyan refused to eat or drink, crying and begging to see the Fourth Prince. The Imperial Guards were worried that Lady Wanyan might do something rash, so they had no choice but to report her request to the Fourth Prince. After thinking about it, the Fourth Prince still ordered someone to secretly bring Lady Wanyan into the palace.
In the past, when Wanyan was still the Fourteenth Prince's wife, when Consort De was still alive, she never felt that the palace was so solemn whenever she entered it. But now, Wanyan has become the wife of a disgraced official and is no longer the arrogant Princess Wanyan she once was. The difference between then and now is unimaginable.
When she arrived at the magnificent Hall of Mental Cultivation and looked at the man sitting behind the throne, Wanyan felt from the bottom of her heart that the Fourteenth Prince and he had no chance of winning.
With red, tear-filled eyes, Lady Wanyan rushed to the Fourth Prince's side, sobbing, "Your Majesty, my sons died unjustly... They were so young, they didn't understand anything. Even if their father was wrong, the children are innocent..."
The Fourth Prince gestured to Su Peisheng, who quickly stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "Fourteenth Prince's wife, please accept my condolences. Fortunately, you are safe and sound now..."
Wanyan shook her head, crying and repeatedly muttering, "My son died under mysterious circumstances, I don't want to live anymore..."
The Fourth Prince glanced at Wanyan, who was weeping on the ground, and said, "I have already ordered people to begin the investigation..."
Wanyan knew in her heart what the Fourteenth Prince had done, and even if the Fourth Prince was magnanimous, he might not forgive him easily. Thinking that the Fourteenth Prince was also missing and her son had died, she was afraid that the Fourth Prince was just going through the motions and did not have a real investigation. So she gritted her teeth and cried even harder, hoping to get the Fourth Prince's mercy.
"Your Majesty, you must catch the murderer who killed my son! My child's death was too tragic..."
The Fourth Prince said coldly, "The assassin's purpose is unknown, and the investigation may take some time. My lady, there's no need to worry, I have my own arrangements..."
Suddenly, Wanyan realized something, crawled forward, and cried, "I only escaped by hiding under the bed last night, but I know they didn't just want my son's life, they were after me too..."
The Fourth Prince was taken aback, and Lady Wanyan said in fear, "The Prince's mansion is too dangerous now, someone wants our lives..."
Fourth Master asked warily, "Do you know who the assassin is? Or have you discovered anything?"
Wanyan was stunned, but she couldn't remember anything from last night. Suddenly, she broke down in tears, crying, "I don't know anything, I don't know anything..."
Fourth Prince took a deep breath, unable to bear Wanyan's weeping any longer, and said impatiently, "You may go back now. This matter has been handed over to the Prefect of the Capital for investigation, and the Princess Consort will be given an explanation."
Just as Wanyan was about to leave, she suddenly stopped and asked in a daze, "Your Majesty, do you know where the Fourteenth Prince is now?"
The Fourth Prince was startled and silently shook his head, muttering, "I'm also investigating..." Suddenly, his eyes darkened, and he asked, "Does the Princess Consort know his whereabouts?"
Wanyan gave a bitter smile, stopped crying, and answered tragically, "Your Majesty, I know nothing about the Prince..." But it was the saddest moment for a woman. Looking at Wanyan's desperate eyes, the Fourth Prince suddenly felt a pang of sorrow. After Wanyan left, he instructed Su Peisheng to increase the security patrols of the Fourteenth Prince's residence and to ensure the protection of the Fourteenth Princess Consort.
