After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

The whole place was eerily quiet, and the room was dead silent. Everyone even subconsciously slowed down their breathing.

After confirming that Pei Chen was fine, Empress Yongle's brows relaxed a little.

"aunt!"

The Second Prince, Xiao Hong, rushed over with a grim expression on his face. "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I think Ning'er drank too much and is talking nonsense because she's drunk."

Xiao Hong cursed Xiao Ning to death in his heart for being more of a hindrance than an accomplisher, but he didn't dare show it on his face.

Yongle empress did not speak, but just looked at Xiao Hong with a serious look.

These people... do they really think that she is old and blind and can't see through their calculations?

"Please don't take Ning'er's issue with me, aunt." Xiao Hong spoke again.

Yongle Boss retracted his gaze and said, "Since you've drunk too much, go back and rest early."

She looked at the guests again and said, "It's not a big deal. Please take care of yourself."

Emperor Yongle ordered the female officials and maids around him to entertain the guests. Naturally, the guests did not dare to stay for long and left quickly. Even though they were curious about who was hanging out with Princess Heyi, they did not dare to stay.

Not everyone can see the excitement of the royal family.

"Aunt..." Xiao Hong wanted to struggle again, but Empress Yongle said directly, "Something like this happened in my house, and I must investigate it thoroughly."

*** walked to the main house on the side and sat down. Xie Yao and others did not leave either.

With Emperor Yongle around, Xiao Hongzong had no chance to do anything even if he wanted to, and could only sit aside feeling uneasy.

Soon, Xiao Ning was invited over.

She looked a bit disheveled, with an abnormal blush still on her cheeks. She was helped to sit down, and she was about to cry, "Aunt, please understand. Ning'er was plotted against today."

As she spoke, she glanced at Pei Chen with loving eyes.

But she saw Pei Chen sitting upright, not even looking at her. Xiao Ning's heart sank. She was too anxious today.

but……

"***, the person has arrived." The person led in by the female official was a tall young man, wearing a brocade robe that was somewhat messy and draped over his body, with a dazed look in his eyes.

A hint of surprise flashed across Xie Yao's eyes, and she sat up straighter.

How could it be him?

"The Third Prince of Northern Frontier?" Emperor Yongle also exclaimed in surprise.

The Xia Kingdom had been fighting against the Northern Frontier of the Northland for many years, until twenty years ago, when Pei Chen's father suddenly appeared and pushed the Northern Frontier back step by step.

From then on, the Northern Frontier submitted to the Xia Kingdom and sent a hostage to the Xia Kingdom.

Emperor Yongle's majestic voice also made Hu Yanyuan, the third prince of Northern Frontier, sober up a little.

He saw the situation clearly, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground. "Chief, damn... what's going on?"

Soon, a court doctor came to take the pulse of the two.

"Damn it, Princess Heyi and the Third Prince have both been poisoned. The drug was put in the incense."

Xiao Ning felt even more aggrieved, lowering her head and sobbing, "Aunt, you have to make the decision for me. I've really been tricked!"

Hu Yanyuan also said: "I was also walking in the garden when I suddenly fainted. When I woke up..."

Yongle Boss's eyes darkened. "Investigate!"

Soon, the servant came again to report that Song Wenbo was found unconscious in the flowers not far outside the yard.

Xie Yao noticed that Xiao Ning's expression froze for a moment when he heard the news.

Her eyes fell on Hu Yanyuan.

The problem is with him.

In the previous life, Xiao Ning and Song Wenbo had proudly talked about what happened today. Xiao Ning had successfully plotted against Pei Chen, but in fact nothing happened between her and Pei Chen.

She and Song Wenbo did it beside the unconscious Pei Chen.

Before Emperor Yongle "discovered" it, he sent Song Wenbo away and established a formal relationship with Pei Chen.

In Xiao Ning's words, this is called "excitement."

But today, the person hanging out with Xiao Ning was Hu Yanyuan...

Was it him who knocked Song Wenbo unconscious?

Xie Yao was just thinking when footsteps were heard in the courtyard again. "Damn it, everyone who has been in this courtyard today has been apprehended."

what? !

Xiao Ning and Xiao Hong looked at each other, doubts and questions flashing in their eyes.

what happened?

Shouldn't those people be dealt with?

"Trial."

Yongle Boss gave an order in a cold voice.

Pei Chen stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Mother, why not let your son go to the trial himself?" He had been in the army for many years and had plenty of strength and means.

Yongle raised his eyes to look at him and nodded slightly, "Yes."

Xiao Hong's lips moved, he wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to, after all, he felt guilty.

Empress Yongle glanced at Xiao Ning and the others and said, "I will report today's events to His Majesty truthfully."

Xiao Ning's crying stopped, but there was nothing she could do.

Such an incident happened at Emperor Yongle's birthday banquet. Although the guests did not dare to talk about it openly, everyone was paying attention to Princess Heyi's private affair.

Soon, the identity of the adulterer was inexplicably revealed.

Pei Chen left quickly and returned just as quickly, but his expression wasn't very good. "Mother, the maid only said she was bribed, but we don't know who bribed her."

"The person who bribed her passed the information to her through her family. When my son sent someone to her house, it was already empty."

We can naturally continue to investigate further, but it is definitely not something that can be found out overnight.

"I came prepared."

Yongle's voice was cold and his eyes were full of coldness. He was so well prepared because he was targeting Pei Chen.

Fortunately, Pei Chen was fine.

Xie Yao clearly saw that Xiao Ning and Xiao Hong's postures remained unchanged, but their clenched fists unconsciously loosened a little.

Yongle's sharp gaze fell on Xiao Ning, but the latter just lowered her head and cried quietly without saying a word.

"***."

Hu Yanyuan suddenly stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and bowed according to the etiquette of the Xia Kingdom. "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, please bear witness."

He turned to Xiao Ning and said, "Princess Heyi, I am willing to take responsibility for you and marry you as my wife."
