Chapter 217 Could it be that he was really moved by those words?
The prince believed that Xue Zhirou, or Zhao Taiyang, could not be so blatant as to put abortion drugs directly into the food brought by Xue Zhirou and the others.
If so, then the Crown Princess would have a miscarriage after eating the things they sent.
Then these two people will certainly be included in the list of suspects.
The Dali Temple will conduct a detailed investigation of the two.
And Zhao Taiyang, who had contact with the two people today, will definitely not be able to escape the investigation and will certainly be exposed to the sight of the Southern Dynasty royal family.
This is completely a way of walking into a trap.
Zhao Taiyang will definitely not do this.
After all, he still has to save his life, and return to Nanzhao with such a great achievement as stealing the fortune of the grandson of the Southern Dynasty to win the final throne!
How could he do such a stupid thing!
Even if he made a mistake in the matter of Yan Bitong.
But looking back over the years, he has always been cautious.
Otherwise, when the list of preliminary candidates for the Crown Princess was announced, he would not have been so decisive to guess the subsequent actions of the Southern Dynasty royal family and cut off all contact with Xue Zhirou in time.
Moreover, he has not been noticed by the secret guards all these years.
For this point, the prince is sure that Zhao Taiyang will never make such a stupid mistake.
However, if the drug is not put in food, then where would the abortion drug be placed?
The prince's mind was full of thoughts.
Suddenly, the prince seemed to remember something and fixed his eyes on Xue Zhirou.
Seeing Xue Zhirou's unusual movements, the prince's pupils shrank suddenly, and the next moment he pulled the princess and quickly stepped back.
At the same time, he ordered the guard who had just taken the food box, "Stay away from me and the princess!"
The guard was stunned when he heard the voice. Although his brain did not react for a while, his body had already retreated quickly due to years of habit, and he did not stop until he reached the wall.
Then, the prince shouted loudly: "Come here! Catch these two people, remember not to touch them!"
The dark guard who had been vigilant in the dark appeared instantly after hearing the prince's order.
The prince gave two orders in a row, which only took a moment.
Xue Zhirou and Yan Bitong didn't have time to react at all before they were tied up tightly with ropes by the secret guards who suddenly appeared, and they couldn't move at all.
The Crown Princess was also at a loss at this moment.
She had no idea why the Crown Prince suddenly ordered the arrest of the two people.
Especially in the Crown Prince's tone, there was obviously a strong panic.
At this moment, the Crown Prince seemed to sense the Crown Princess's uneasiness and turned to look at her.
The moment his eyes touched the Crown Princess, the tension on the Crown Prince's face disappeared instantly. He exhaled heavily, and then whispered in her ear in a soothing voice: "Ruru, don't be afraid. I just have a guess that needs to be verified."
"But this matter concerns Ru'er, I have to be cautious."
"Anyway, neither of these two people can escape, so it's better to arrest them and interrogate them directly."
"After all, there is no news about the other person. He is the most important and crucial person in the whole matter."
Although the Crown Princess didn't know what the Crown Prince had discovered, she was more willing to believe the Crown Prince than the two so-called "relatives" in front of her.
My sister's various performances just now have shown that what the Crown Prince said is true.
My sister is really afraid of the sun.
As for other things, the Crown Princess has no intention of verifying them.
When the Crown Prince's interrogation is over, everything will have an answer.
Xue Zhirou and Yan Bitong took a long while to realize that they were caught by the prince? !
What was going on?
How could their usually amiable son-in-law and brother-in-law be so vicious today?
The prince looked at them as if he were a dead person, and the murderous intent in his eyes seemed to burst out at the next moment.
The princess next to the prince was also completely different from usual.
Usually, anything they sent, no matter whether it was good or bad, would be praised by the princess, and her face would be filled with a happy smile.
But at this moment, the princess looked at them with a cold expression.
Especially one hand was always on her belly.
The two of them widened their eyes instantly.
Thinking of that possibility, both of them couldn't help but tremble all over.
Could it be that the Crown Princess had asked the imperial physician to check her pulse without their knowledge, and thus found out about her pregnancy?
However, even if she knew about her pregnancy, there was no reason to suspect them for no reason.
They just used the excuse of being the abbot of the temple to prevent the Crown Princess from contacting the imperial physician, and there was nothing wrong with this.
Moreover, their conspiracy today has not yet been accomplished!!
In the past two years, they have shown a lot of courtesy.
Logically speaking, they should have occupied a considerable position in the Crown Princess' heart.
Why are they so cold to each other now?
The two of them were confused and could not figure out why.
They could only cry to the Crown Princess hesitantly and aggrievedly.
"My daughter, what are you doing? Oh, we are your biological mother and sister!"
"Are you arresting us just for sending us some refreshing food?"
"Do you think there is something in the food that shouldn't be there?"
"It's unfair! How could I do anything to my own daughter!"
"What's more, my daughter, you are the Crown Princess now, I dare not do it!"
"Isn't that courting death?!" "
My daughter, don't doubt your mother's actions just because someone tells you so!"
The only reason Xue Zhirou could think of was that someone disliked them, so they deliberately said something bad in front of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, which made them suspected and even arrested.
She didn't even think that Zhao Taiyang had been exposed, so she didn't think about it at all!
Yan Bitong also followed her mother's words, lowered her head and choked up and said: "Sister, my mother and I kindly sent some food here, why should we be treated so humiliatingly!"
"Wuwu..."
The Crown Princess saw the two crying, and her heart was involuntarily a little turbulent.
Although she knew in her heart that all the gossips that Xiao Fuguan had eaten were proven to be true.
But the person in front of her was a relative for many years after all, and how could she not feel uncomfortable with such a miserable look.
But when she thought of their goal, the Crown Princess tightened her hand on her belly, pursed her lips, turned her head away with difficulty, and stopped looking at the two people.
At this time, the Crown Prince's cold expression disappeared, and he put on a warm and gentle look, and said with a smile.
"Madam Yan, Miss Yan, I may have to inconvenience you. I received a report that the two of you intended to do something bad to the Crown Princess."
"I certainly don't believe it, but I still have to go through the necessary procedures."
"So, I can only inconvenience mother and little sister. After the matter is investigated, I will immediately clear Madam Yan and Miss Yan."
The Crown Princess was a little confused when she heard what the Crown Prince said.
Just now, the Crown Prince was clearly going to take action against the two people directly, why did he change his expression after listening to Xue Zhirou's words?
Could it be that he was really moved by those words?
