After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

The next day, the prince hurried back to the prince's mansion with his son.

As soon as the Crown Princess saw the Crown Prince, she knelt down.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. It is all my negligence that has prevented me from managing the mansion well."

On the way here, the prince had already understood the whole situation.

"Get up first. I have something to ask you."

The Crown Princess stood up nervously, looking at the ground with her head down.

"Let's get someone to investigate. How did the snake get into the mansion?"

"I checked and found that someone secretly put it in. However, since there are not many guards in the mansion, I did not find out who put it in."

"I have also asked someone to investigate. Last night, snakes broke into the Princess's Mansion and the Prince Qi's Mansion."

When the prince heard that snakes had entered several mansions, his brows furrowed.

"Where are the Ruiwang Mansion and the Xianwang Mansion?"

"I sent someone to check, and everything is fine in their house."

"I heard that the eldest son of the King of Qi was frightened out of his wits, and the King of Qi's concubine even sent someone to the Big Buddha Temple to invite monks today."

"Not many people were injured in the princess's mansion, only the princess's new lover died."

The prince paced back and forth in the room.

"Master, what should I do with the little princess now?"

The prince gave the princess a cold look.

"They put him in a thin coffin, just a child. As for the others, they were thrown into a mass grave."

The Crown Princess couldn't help but shiver when she heard the Crown Prince's instructions.

"Yes, I understand. I will do it right away."

When she saw that the prince had something to tell the guards, she bowed and left.

She walked out the door and couldn't help trembling all over.

At the beginning, the prince held the little princess in his arms and said that she was his lucky star.

Even, every time I go home, I would hug her.

The Crown Princess was once jealous, because it was just a coincidence that she won the favor of the Crown Prince.

Now it all seems like a lie.

Xiao Minhao saw his mother coming out and shivering against the door.

He walked forward worriedly and held his mother's hand.

The Crown Princess looked up and saw her son, she pulled him up and walked out.

"Mother, please slow down. I can't keep up."

When they were almost reaching the garden, Xiao Minhao couldn't help it.

The Crown Princess then hugged her son and began to cry while suppressing her voice.

Xiao Minhao thought his mother was being scolded by his father, so he reached out and patted the Crown Princess.

"Don't cry, mother. I will go and plead with father and ask him to have a good talk with you."

The Crown Princess looked at her sensible son and tears fell from her eyes.

She felt the tragedy of the little princess's death today.

The flesh and blood that was once so beloved is now worthless and is nothing more than a thin coffin.

The child's mother didn't even have a thin coffin and was thrown into a mass grave. I'm afraid that in the end, not even a complete body would be left.

She is useful to the prince now, so he doesn't get angry with her.

If one day she loses her usefulness, will she suffer the same fate as the concubines?

The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she became, and the more scared she became.

She didn't dare tell this to her son.

She cried for a while, then wiped her tears and forced a smile towards her son.

"Your father didn't scold your mother. She was frightened by the snake."

Xiao Minhao's tense little face finally relaxed.

He is no longer a child, and after entering Taixue Academy, he has learned a lot of knowledge.

He knew that his father would most likely ascend the throne.

However, his mother and his father had never gotten along well.

If he hadn't often said that his little sister was a lucky star, her father would have been reinstated as the crown prince as soon as she was born.

My father didn't even want to step into the Prince's Mansion.

He couldn't tell these to his mother.

Now that he has grown up, he wants to protect his mother.

The Crown Princess patted her son's shoulder and said, "Mother still has things to do. Your father is in a bad mood. Please don't disturb him."

"Your son knows, mother, please go and do your work. Be careful."

After the Crown Princess was separated from her son, she did not follow the Crown Prince's instructions. She asked people to buy two thin coffins and buried the little princess and her aunt together.

He also asked someone to find a piece of land and bury the two men.

This can be considered as a blessing for myself and my son!

Anyang received the message from the prince and quickly came to the prince's mansion.

"Brother Crown Prince, I heard that snakes have also entered the Crown Prince's Mansion?"

When Anyang thought of the cold and sticky touch, his hair stood on end.

There are few women who are not afraid of this cold animal.

"Yes, I want to ask you, was there anything unusual on the day when the snake entered your house?"

The princess thought about it and shook her head.

That day, she and her lover played until very late and did not notice anything unusual.

"The snake should have entered the Princess's mansion when daybreak was about to break. It's a pity for my concubine, but I spent a lot of effort to get it in."

The princess's face was full of regret.

The prince stepped aside a little without leaving any trace.

"I heard that snakes also entered the Qi Wang Mansion, and the Qi Wang's concubine had a miscarriage. Unfortunately, the child was saved."

The princess shook her head and walked to the table and sat down.

"Don't you find it strange?" The prince said with a gloomy face.

"I feel that something is wrong, so I sent someone to investigate. Recently, no one in the capital has purchased snakes in large quantities. Brother Crown Prince, where did so many snakes come from? Aren't snakes supposed to be hibernating in this weather?"

"Didn't you send someone to check? There weren't any snakes in the homes of the Fourth and Sixth Brothers?"

The princess was surprised. She really didn't know this.

"Brother Prince, do you mean that these two are the most suspicious?" she asked in a low voice.

The prince paced back and forth in the room as usual.

"You all had snakes, but these two didn't. Don't you think that's unusual?"

"Besides, your Princess's Mansion is close to the Xianwang Mansion, and the Ruiwang Mansion is not far from the Crown Prince's Mansion."

"The Prince of Qi's mansion is even more remote. If it wasn't for a special purpose, who would travel across half of the capital to release snakes in three mansions?"

The princess looked at the prince, "What should we do now? Should we investigate the culprits one by one?"

The prince walked to the window and stood with his hands behind his back.

"No need to go to such trouble. Since they are all suspects, just settle accounts with them all."

The prince's cold answer made the princess look at him.

"But isn't the Fourth Prince the Crown Prince's man? He was helping you with something a while ago."

"Father is getting more and more confused. He will hold a selection of talents next spring!"

The princess' eyes widened.

"Then did the Taoist you invited really make him an elixir of immortality?"

"Elixir of immortality?" The prince snorted coldly.

"It seems that I should ask the Taoist priest to give him the elixir of immortality in advance."

The princess walked to the prince's side and looked out the window together.

"What did you give him before that?"

The prince had a harmless smile on his face.

"Ten-fold tonic pill!"
