Princess Changyang couldn't stop crying: "It's all my fault. I let the wolf into the house and hurt them..."
Ye Qianning's eyes moved slightly. It sounded like everything was so natural. Biting her tongue to commit suicide after being caught could be said to be because she didn't want to be tortured, but the deaths of the maids and servants who had contact with her were too consistent.
The maids and nannies all came from ordinary backgrounds. If they were caught doing something wrong, they wouldn't be doomed to death. But it was very unusual for them to commit suicide by taking poison together.
Like being trained.
"Is she still alive?" Ye Qianning asked.
Princess Changyang wiped her tears and shook her head slightly: "She died in a dark room on the third day of being locked up."
Ye Qianning lowered his eyes. The person was dead and it would be difficult to investigate after so long.
"She has committed such a sin that even God won't forgive her." Princess Changyang said hatefully.
Ye Qianning was stunned: "Didn't you kill the person?"
"No, I also wanted to cut her into pieces at that time, but before I could do anything, another bluestone slab above the dark room came loose and hit her head. She died on the spot. It was karma, this was her karma."
“…”
Coincidence, if it's too coincidental, there will be something wrong.
"Princess, are your cousin's parents still alive?" Ye Qianning had some idea.
Princess Changyang thought for a moment and nodded, "My aunt passed away a few years ago, but my second uncle is still alive. I heard that he is getting older and has lost his ability to judge people."
"As long as the person is still there, that's fine."
Princess Changyang was stunned when she heard this: "Qian Ning, do you think that what happened back then is also related to my mother's family?"
Ye Qianning was silent for a while and did not answer.
"Impossible, my second uncle and second aunt are both very good people..." Princess Changyang explained anxiously. The same family members prosper and suffer together. If my second uncle and second aunt knew about this, they would never let my cousin do this.
"We still need to investigate what happened. Even if it's someone close to you, the princess will do anything when it comes to personal gain. The princess has been in Beijing for many years and should be very clear about this."
Family affection means nothing in the deep mansions and among the royal family and nobles.
Princess Changyang was trembling all over, her hair stood on end, she was terrified and didn't want to believe it, but as a princess for many years, she had seen all kinds of dirty tricks in the capital.
Her cousin said that she had snatched away her marriage, and if she hadn't been there, she would have been the one to marry into the capital.
My second uncle and second aunt have always doted on their daughter, so they must blame my cousin for her misfortune.
"I will have someone investigate this matter thoroughly. Princess, just wait for the news." Ye Qianning stood up.
Princess Changyang also stood up, feeling flustered and confused. After a moment of hesitation, she finally asked the question deep in her heart: "Why are you suddenly investigating this matter, or did my cousin do something else?"
Ten years had passed since the incident, and my cousin had confessed everything she had done to the palace. Her death had been the end of the matter.
Being asked by Ye Qianning suddenly, there must be something bigger hidden behind it.
"She is indeed involved in a very important matter, but I have no evidence and cannot reveal it to the princess. I hope the princess can forgive me." Ye Qianning said.
Princess Changyang understood what she said and stopped asking further questions. She simply said, "If you need anything, please let me know. The palace will be happy to help."
"Thank you, Princess."
Ye Qianning bowed and said goodbye.
Princess Changyang looked at her departing back and thought about her problem. Her cousin was kicked out of the palace and then received all kinds of vicious letters. The prince also sent people to look for her, but in the end, nothing was found.
How could my cousin be able to evade the pursuit of the palace's secret guards by herself?
How could he possibly settle down in the capital without being noticed?
The more Princess Changyang thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and she felt that something big was going to happen.
"Come here, go find the prince."
"Yes." (End of this chapter)
