Chapter 16: Ask the Third Prince
Although spring is the peak season for rashes, Nan Xiang's rash is different. She carries a mild toxin in her body, so the rash breaks out so quickly.
Princess Changyang was shocked when she heard this: "You mean..."
Ye Qianning nodded, which was considered a reminder to her.
Princess Changyang got the confirmation and was surprised that the child in front of her knew all this. Her daughter became ill so rapidly, but she didn't notice anything strange.
If she hadn't revealed the notice... the more I think about it, the more scared I become.
"Cui'er, ask Granny Zhang to investigate the people who have been in and out of the mansion recently, and check everyone the princess had contact with before she got the rash." Princess Changyang's eyes were deep.
Investigate and make sure to find out who exactly wants to harm her daughter.
"Yes, I will go now."
Ye Qianning is accustomed to this kind of intrigue and deception. The smoke of war in the modern business world is no less than that in the ancient mansions.
The person who poisoned Nan Xiang and gave her the rash was definitely not a simple person. The people in the deep mansions are unpredictable.
"Greetings, Her Majesty the Princess." The butler came hurriedly.
Princess Changyang turned around and asked: "What did the government say? Has the jade pendant been given to you?"
The housekeeper glanced at Ye Qianning and replied, "Mr. Song, the prefect, has arrived at the front hall. The prince invites the princess to come over."
Princess Changyang didn't expect the prefect to come to her house in person. She stood up and said, "Fatty, come with me to the front hall."
Ye Qianning jumped down from the chair and ran to the princess.
The palace still has the power of deterrence, and here come people.
The front hall of the palace.
Prince Changyang was sitting in the main seat. He already knew the reason for the incident and held the jade pendant in his hand with a solemn expression.
"Your Highness, this matter concerns the royal bloodline, so I had no choice but to ask someone to retrieve the jade pendant. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives saw it and made a fuss about it, it would be troublesome." Lord Song felt very miserable. He suffered from insomnia for several days when he had the jade pendant in his hand.
"Indeed, the fewer people who know about it, the better. That woman came from Nanyuan, and the child seems to be six years old." Prince Changyang couldn't help but think of the first time he met Ye Qianning.
The child saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes were clear, and his temperament did not seem like that of a child from the countryside.
The Third Prince once went to Nanyuan with some children from aristocratic families. Calculating the time, it seems that it was exactly seven years ago, so the time is right.
"Confusing the royal bloodline is a serious crime, but if it is true, the child's status is naturally noble. I haven't figured out how to deal with it for a while, so I dare not make it public. If the princess hadn't sent someone to get the jade pendant today, I wouldn't dare mention this matter to Your Highness. Now, please decide on the funeral arrangements." Lord Song took the opportunity to throw away this hot potato.
Prince Changyang was lost in thought, rubbing his fingers against the jade pendant. After a moment, he said, "The Third Prince happens to be at home today. Why not ask him?"
“…”
Lord Song was stunned and asked directly?
"Someone, go and invite the Third Prince." Prince Changyang ordered.
"Cough cough..." Mr. Song choked on his saliva.
"What's wrong?" Prince Changyang glanced away.
"It's probably not a good idea to ask directly..."
"Why not? I think it would be best if you can confirm it in person."
Lord Song had some concerns, but he didn't dare to speak anymore.
At this time, Princess Changyang led Ye Qianning to the front hall.
"Greetings, Princess." Lord Song bowed.
Princess Changyang smiled slightly and walked to the side of Prince Changyang: "Master Song, there is no need to be so polite."
Ye Qianning noticed the prince's gaze as soon as he entered the hall. There was a deep scrutiny in his eyes. It seemed that the prince already knew about the jade pendant.
