In addition, the matter of Wang Peng leading people to ambush Xiao Xuan that day has also been investigated.
The emperor punished Xiao Ling by confining him to his palace for three months for failing to manage his subordinates properly.
Consort Chen was already seething with hatred when she learned all this, but then that bitch Ning Yin came back and said she was pregnant.
Empress Dowager Zhang even bestowed three personal old nannies upon Ningyin. She recalled that when she wanted to find an experienced old nanny, Empress Dowager Zhang completely ignored her.
After this comparison, Consort Chen became even more intolerant of Ning Yin's unborn child.
Once this child is born, the emperor will probably abdicate early and let Xiao Xuan ascend the throne. How could she be willing to do that?
Xiao Xuan lowered his eyes and coldly looked at the old nanny on the ground, who was trembling like a leaf, his eyes filled with dark and turbulent emotions.
"Tell me, who ordered you to do this!"
The cold words carried the imposing authority of a superior. The old nanny wanted to say that Consort Chen had instructed her, but after thinking it over, she dared not implicate Consort Chen.
Consort Chen had already found her hometown and taken control of her grandchildren, so how could she dare to say anything?
“Your Highness, no one instructed this old servant. This old servant wanted to do it on his own because this old servant could not stand the Crown Princess’s favoritism towards Zhang Mama. Why should I, someone who has served the Empress Dowager, be inferior to her? Zhang Mama bosses us around, so I harbored resentment towards Her Highness.”
After speaking, Xiao Xuan gave a cold laugh and ordered someone to take Ning Yin back to her bedroom to rest.
He immediately stood up, took a few steps to the old woman, kicked her to the ground, and swiftly drew his sword from Qingying's waist, pointing it at the old woman's neck.
"My patience is limited. If you want to experience the agony of being unable to live or die, then go ahead and make up your own nonsense..."
The old woman shook her head, her pupils filled with fear.
The next second, one of the old woman's eyes was pierced by a sharp blade, and blood gushed out, splattering all over the ground.
The old woman was in excruciating pain and almost fainted. But before she could catch her breath, her other eye was also stabbed, and her eyeball rolled out of its socket and onto the ground, a truly horrifying scene.
"Tell me...who ordered you to do this?"
