After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

Chapter 443 The Truth 2
"Since she saved the princess, why didn't she tell me this after the prince and I returned?" asked the Princess of Xian.

Sun listened to the question raised by the wife of the virtuous prince. She thought for a moment and said, "Maybe she is afraid."

"She discovered the secret, and was poisoned by my sister-in-law. Princess, you were not in the palace at the time. My sister-in-law is in charge of all the affairs in the palace. How could she dare to come back?"

The wife of the virtuous prince was in poor health and had not been taking care of the household affairs. She felt ashamed when she heard this and said, "Even if I was not at home at the time, she could have come back to seek justice from me later. She saved my daughter, so I will definitely not treat her unfairly."

Without waiting for Sun to answer, Lu Ji snorted at the wife of the Xian Prince and said, "The wife doesn't care about the family. Zhang and her brother Zhang San are in charge of everything. Later, Miss Qin couldn't make it outside, so she came back to the capital and asked for help, but she was discovered by Zhang San and chased after. How could she, a weak woman, have the ability to enter the palace to see you?"

Qin Xiaoning was seven years old when Qin Nu died. According to her, after Qin Nu placed her in a dilapidated temple, she went out to find a way to make a living. She only returned in a mess after two or three days. After returning, she took her away in a hurry and scared her so much that she said she would never come back to Beijing again.

Lu Ji guessed that this Qin girl must have tried to find the palace and tell the truth, but the palace was controlled by the slaves, and she had nowhere to turn to, and later, she died.

Upon hearing this, Princess Xian sighed sadly and said no more.

Lu Ji turned to look at Sun and asked, "The one who chased and killed Miss Qin was your husband, right?"

Sun really didn't know these details, but her husband was now dead, so facing Lu Ji's questioning, she could only bite the bullet and answer.

"If it is as the prince said, then the one who hunted down Miss Qin must be my dead husband."

She continued, "My sister-in-law has always believed that the little princess is dead, and she didn't know that Miss Qin saved the little princess. Only my husband and I know about this. My sister-in-law is too powerful. We were afraid that she would be angry if we told her, so we kept it a secret. But my husband has been secretly looking for Miss Qin. If Miss Qin enters the capital and he finds her, he will definitely not let her go."

Glancing at Lu Ji's livid face, Sun kowtowed again and again after saying this: "Your Majesty, I saved the little princess. My husband wanted to kill Miss Qin and the little princess, but I had absolutely no involvement. I had no knowledge of this."

Lu Ji asked again: "Do you know about the assassination of Miss Su?"

"Who is Miss Su?" asked the Princess of Xian.

Lu Ji said, "She was originally a concubine in the palace. Later, you kept her in the palace. Later, Prince Shen asked her to be his concubine. Does the princess remember her?"

The wife of the virtuous prince tried hard to recall, and then suddenly said: "I remember that she and Qin Nu were both from the inner palace, and they were also close friends when they were in my mansion before."

Lu Ji said: "That's it."

Then he asked Sun: "Does Miss Su know what happened back then?"

Sun thought about it and replied, "I don't know about that."

"After I put the little princess in the back mountain, I was worried the next day, so I went to check, but she had disappeared. A few days later, when my husband and I were out on business, we unexpectedly saw Miss Qin. She was holding a child, which must be the little princess. She was holding the little princess, which meant she was with Miss Su."

"I wonder if she told Miss Su the truth." Sun said.

Lu Ji asked, "Since you don't know whether Miss Su knows about this, why did you hire someone to kill her?"

When Sun heard this, she was so scared that she kept saying, "This was not my idea. It was my sister-in-law's idea. She was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. So she instigated my man to kill Su. It's none of my business, none of my business." After hearing what Sun said, the truth became clear.

Prince Xian gnashed his teeth in hatred, while Princess Xian looked ashamed and kept crying.

Lu Ji had no expression. He turned to look at Prince Xian and his wife and asked, "Do you understand, Prince and Princess?"

Prince Xian nodded weakly and said to Lu Ji: "Thank you, Regent. If it weren't for you taking care of my daughter all these years."

Lu Ji was not here to listen to his rambling thanks. Before Prince Xian could finish, he raised his hand to interrupt him and asked in a cold voice, "So how do you plan to deal with these little guys?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang, who was lying on the ground, sobbed and struggled towards the Princess of Prince Xian, apparently begging for mercy.

The wife of the Xian Prince turned her head away and said, "Zhang, your husband committed a heinous crime that wiped out the entire family. I saved you and your unborn child because you served me. I never thought you would be so ambitious and actually want to kill my daughter."

Zhang sobbed, touched her head to the ground, and kowtowed to the Princess of Prince Xian.

Princess Xian said to the guards, "Let her go. I want to hear what she has to say."

After Zhang was released, she rolled and crawled on her knees to the feet of Princess Xinqing and cried, "Princess, I deserve death, but my death is not a pity. I only ask that you take good care of Huayang for the fact that she has been filial to you for more than 20 years."

When mentioning Huayang, Princess Xian couldn't help but pause.

Even though she was the daughter of his enemy, she had been his daughter for twenty years after all. This relationship could not be severed just like that.

She had always been the person with the least idea, so upon hearing this, she looked at Prince Xian.

Prince Xian noticed his wife's hesitation, but his mind was in a mess and he had no time to think about the daughter of his enemy whom he had raised for twenty years. What he was most concerned about at the moment was his own biological daughter.

"Prince Regent, can I see my daughter? Her name is An Ning, right?"

Hearing Prince Xian calling Qin Xiaoning like this, Lu Ji felt very awkward for no reason. He didn't respond and just said, "Your Highness, please deal with these little guys first."

Upon hearing this, Prince Xian looked at Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said harshly, "This bitch, who framed my daughter, should be cut into pieces."

"Wait a minute."

Following a call, Huayang hurried in from outside. Prince Xian and his wife didn't know how to face the daughter of their enemy whom they had raised for twenty years. They turned their heads away, especially the wife of Prince Xian, who looked very ugly and tears fell down in strings.

When Zhang saw Huayang, she immediately became energetic. She looked at her daughter with longing in her eyes and called out softly, "Huayang, Huayang."

Huayang glanced at her calmly, then knelt down in front of Prince Xian and his wife and said, "Father, Mother, Zhang has done many evil things and deserves to be punished. But Huayang has been your daughter for twenty years, and this relationship cannot be cut off just like that. I hope Father and Mother will give my daughter a chance to live for the sake of our twenty years of family affection."
