After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

Chapter 441 Exposed
Ever since the assassination attempt on the young princess went awry, Zhang had never had a peaceful life. She had been living in fear for the past two days.

Zhang came to her daughter's luxurious house.

Princess Huayang was sitting on a soft couch, fiddling with a newly made set of armor. The armor was made with exquisite craftsmanship, with a golden body inlaid with precious red gems. It looked dazzling and eye-catching.

Zhang stood aside, looking at her daughter quietly. After a long while, Huayang raised her head. Her spirit had improved recently, but her eyes were still different from those of a normal person, as if she was a little dazed.

The retribution came. Although she had deliberately replaced the real princess with hers, allowing her daughter to escape the identity of a sinner and enjoy countless honors, she was driven crazy and stupid by the real princess's husband.

Glancing at her daughter's dazed look, Zhang felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

"Huayang——"

She called out in a low voice, and Huayang took a long time to react before asking, "What happened to Nanny today? She seemed to be worried about something, and she looked very unhappy."

My daughter can see that I am worried, which means she is mentally normal.

Zhang felt slightly relieved.

She walked forward slowly, raised her hand and grabbed Huayang's hand. Before she could say anything, tears were already falling.

"Huayang, I have something very important to confess to you."

At this point, Zhang had no choice but to tell her daughter the truth.

Even if Prince Xian's Mansion doesn't let her go, she still wants to protect her daughter. She must let her know the truth so that she can deal with it in advance.

She told her daughter the whole story: "Mother did this out of desperation. Your father is a criminal. Even if the princess saved you and me, you are still the daughter of a criminal and will have no future. We have been so careful about this matter that no one has ever suspected us over the years. But now, I am afraid that we can no longer keep it secret."

As disaster loomed, Huayang, who had been in a daze, finally came to her senses. She thought about what Zhang had said.

"Those assassins were only ordered by Zhang San to kill Qin. Now that Zhang San is dead, you put the blame for assassinating the little princess on him. As for my life experience, now no one in this world knows about it except you. From now on, I will continue to be my princess and enjoy this wealth and glory with peace of mind."

Zhang shivered and said, "There is also Sun, she also knows."

Hua Yang frowned when he heard this: "Didn't you say she ran away?"

"She ran away." Zhang wiped away her tears, "but she knew I killed my brother, and I was worried that she would take revenge."

Hua Yang was immediately anxious when he heard this: "Why don't you send someone to hunt him down and kill him quickly to put an end to it all."

Zhang was worried that her daughter would go crazy again, so she stepped forward to comfort her, "Princess, don't worry."

"It's already this late, how can I not be anxious?" Huayang shook off Zhang, his tone full of impatience: "You must find a solution quickly, this time you must cut the grass and eradicate it completely."

"I have ordered people to hunt down that Sun."

Huayang said ruthlessly: "Put the blame of Zhang San's murder on that Sun, tell the people below and say that she murdered her husband for money, and kill her immediately after catching her." Zhang said: "I think the same as the princess, I have already put the blame of Zhang San's murder on her, and ordered people to chase her, but she hasn't been found yet."

The mother and daughter were planning here when they heard a chaotic sound of footsteps outside. Before Zhang could react, several sturdy maids broke into the room. When they saw Zhang, they said viciously, "The prince and princess invite you."

When Zhang saw this, she knew that the truth had been revealed. She turned to Huayang and said, "If it's a bad thing, you must ask the princess for help. She is soft-hearted and will not embarrass you because of the mother-daughter relationship she has had for so many years."

"Stop talking and get out of here!" Several maids did not allow Zhang to say any more. They stepped forward, held her down, and escorted her out of the house.

After catching the killers, it was confirmed that they were targeting Qin Xiaoning. Within just two days, Lu Ji had found out the truth.

Before coming to Prince Xian's mansion, he had already told Qin Xiaoning all the truth. Qin Xiaoning simply replied, "Now that we have found out everything, we must bring the evildoers to justice."

She just said this to Lu Ji. As for other things, such as whether or not to recognize Prince Xian and his wife, she did not express her opinion.

Lu Ji understood that she needed time to consider, and that she entrusted such an important matter to him, which was also a sign of her reliance and trust in him.

She believed he could handle it.

After Prince Xian heard Lu Ji's account of the whole story, he was so angry that he almost passed out.

Faced with the facts, he had no choice but to believe it. He knew the regent's temper. If the facts were not so, he would never bring up his own princess.

When the wife of the Xian Prince, who was hiding in the backyard, heard about this, she was also shocked. She was supported by her maid to the front hall and saw her husband and Lu Ji interrogating Zhang. She grabbed Zhang without saying anything and asked sternly, "Is this true? Your daughter is not dead. You used your daughter to replace my daughter? Is that right? Tell me, what is going on?"

Princess Xian almost went crazy, and finally, she collapsed to the ground, powerless.

Seeing this, Zhang came over immediately to support the Princess Xian, and said hurriedly: "Princess, don't believe this. Huayang is your own flesh and blood, how can it be false?"

Prince Xian said to Zhang in a stern voice, "You bitch, stop trying to seduce the princess. What's going on? You bitch, why don't you come here quickly?"

Zhang kowtowed hurriedly: "Your Majesty, calm down. I have already explained that Huayang is the daughter of you and the princess. How can this be false? My daughter died shortly after she was born. Many people in the palace know this. The princess is of noble status and has countless nurses and maids to take care of her. How could I have the ability to replace the princess?"

Then, she came to beg the princess again, "Please understand, I am innocent."

She cried as she spoke and kowtowed repeatedly, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Seeing Zhang Shi like this, the wife of Prince Xian couldn't help but waver in her heart. She looked at her husband and said hesitantly, "My lord, what Zhang Shi said makes sense. Huayang has been our daughter for twenty years, how can it be false?"

As she spoke, she turned to look at Lu Ji who was standing beside her, and said hesitantly, "Prince Regent, you said that the little princess is my daughter. I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here."

How could there be such a foolish person? No wonder he didn’t even know he had lost his own flesh and blood.

Lu Ji glanced at the Princess of Xian, but did not respond to her. He turned to the guards at the door and said, "Bring that Sun up here."

Zhang, who had originally hoped for a lucky escape, was so frightened when she heard this that she immediately collapsed.
