After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

Mother Qin smiled and said, "The princess and the princess have already eaten. I guess they are here to tell you about the interesting things that happened at the banquet at the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion yesterday."

The old princess smiled and nodded, speeding up her breakfast.

Mother Qin advised, "Old Princess, please go slowly. Be careful not to choke."

"I'm not an old loser. How can a bowl of porridge choke me?" The old princess glanced at Mother Qin and said.

After finishing the last mouthful of porridge, she rinsed her mouth and got up to go to the flower hall.

When Wen and Gu Zhiyin saw the old princess coming in, they quickly put down their teacups and stood up to greet her.

"I met my mother."

"May your grandmother be well."

The old princess narrowed her eyes and smiled as she asked the two of them to stand up: "Sit down and talk."

As she said this, she sat down in the main seat.

The maid immediately brought a cup of ginseng tea and placed it next to the old princess.

"How was the banquet at the Duke of Huguo's Mansion yesterday? Was it fun?" The old princess looked at Gu Zhiyin and asked with a loving face.

"I just wanted to talk to mother about the banquet held at the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion yesterday." Wen said.

The old princess looked at her serious face and was shocked: "What happened?"

Wen told Gu Zhi what happened in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion one after another.

The more the old princess listened, the gloomier her expression became: "...The Third Prince is so bold, he really doesn't take my Fu family seriously at all. Does he think he can get rid of the Pingyang Palace by borrowing the help of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion?"

It was clearly his fault, but he still held a grudge against the Fu family and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

So hateful.

"Judging from the old woman and maid who committed the crime, I'm afraid there is someone else besides the Third Prince." Gu Zhiyin said, "If there is someone else, the Third Prince must have known that he wanted to kill Cheng Shuli, so he took the opportunity to frame me and stir up the anger of the Cheng and Liu families."

The old princess was silent for a while, then she spoke, "They have the guts to kill people in the Duke of Huguo's mansion and try to stir up hatred between the two mansions. It is most likely a fight between the princes. The commander of the imperial guards, Cheng, is the younger brother of Concubine Jin. Because of his outstanding abilities in recent years, he is highly regarded by the emperor, so Concubine Jin is quite favored in the harem. She has the Sixth Prince. Although her family is not a family of scholars and does not have a deep foundation, with such a powerful brother, many people in the court also support the Sixth Prince."

"Whether the Sixth Prince intends to seize the throne is unknown, but he is close to the Second Prince. Whether the Second Prince is using him or teaming up with the Sixth Prince, he has no reason to harm the Cheng family's legitimate son. The Third Prince bribed the maid, and the Sixth Prince cannot harm his cousin. The remaining five and nine princes are the most suspicious."

Wen listened to the old princess's analysis and opened her mouth in shock. Although the old princess lived deep in the backyard, she knew everything about the outside world. At least she didn't think so much about it.

"However, the fifth prince and the ninth prince did not attend the banquet today." Wen said.

Gu Zhiyin thought for a moment and said, "What grandma said is that if killing Cheng Shuli doesn't cause Commander Cheng to lose his power, then the ultimate goal should be to sow discord. If he is really killed, I'm afraid all the evidence will point to the Second Prince. At this time, the less people are at the banquet, the more they can clear themselves after the incident."

"The Third Prince saw that there was something to gain, so he simply asked me to bear the blame. In the end, it would point to the Second Prince anyway. If I had not been prepared for his actions yesterday, I would have no way to defend myself, and the Third Prince would have been able to escape unscathed."

Wen looked at Gu Zhiyin, then at the old princess, and felt that her brain could not keep up with the two people's thoughts. She asked in astonishment: "Then... should we tell the Protector of the Country?"
