Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap

Princess Zhaoyang nodded. "Don't worry, I understand. I've played a princess for so long, I can't be wrong."

If Consort Luo were here now, he would probably understand why people had been dying in the manor for some time!

Moreover, most of those who died were people close to the princess.

They said she had changed drastically in temperament and was ruthless, but in reality, it was just to get rid of all the personal maids who were familiar with the princess.

What she really wanted to do was to use this opportunity to deal with those who posed a threat to her identity.

Get started first!

In fact, Green Princess does this very well.

At least, no one suspected that the princess had been switched!

Even the princess's husband, Luo, who had been in bed with her for many years, never realized she was an imposter. This shows just how convincingly the actress playing the Green Princess was!

Of course, another important reason was Li Wanhe's entry into the household.

It was precisely because of her that a rift developed between the princess and her husband, which ironically gave Green Princess an opportunity.

The prolonged lack of contact caused Luo Fuma's memory of some details to become distorted; in fact, he couldn't remember many of them at all.

royal palace.

Although the retired emperor and empress dowager were enjoying their twilight years at the Fushou Palace, they remained highly sensitive to the dangerous atmosphere outside.

"Your Majesty, tell me, is it Zhaoyang?"

Although the Emperor Emeritus had abdicated, the Empress Dowager could never get rid of the title and would call him "Your Majesty" from time to time.

The retired emperor shook his head. "These are matters for the fourth prince to worry about. We don't need to get involved."

"But Zhaoyang will always be our daughter!"

"So, wasn't Prince Kang our son? Wasn't Duanmu Chen our grandson?"

"Your Majesty?" The Empress Dowager was slightly surprised. The Emperor Emeritus's attitude was clearly a case of protesting too much!

"Alright, since the children have chosen to keep some things from us, let them focus on dealing with the external enemy and not let us old folks distract them."

"An external enemy? Isn't it Zhaoyang?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard the Fourth Prince say that the matter seems to be related to some former officials in the court. In addition, it seems that the Turks are also involved. Therefore, it's best for us to do nothing and just observe this matter."

"Will the Emperor be in danger?"

The Emperor Emeritus glanced at her. “Probably not. Don’t you know how capable the Fourth Prince is? Putting aside everything else, just the fact that he reached an agreement with Xie San so early on is enough to impress me.”

The Empress Dowager finally fell silent, but the worry in her eyes did not diminish much.

“Old woman, we’re old. There are some things we can’t change, even if we understand them in our hearts. Let them be. Our children and grandchildren have their own lives. This time, isn’t Zonghua’s poisoning enough for you to see clearly?”

The Empress Dowager bit her lip. Regardless of gender, they were all flesh and blood of her own flesh.

Even though she didn't particularly like her daughter Zhaoyang, she was still the one she carried for ten months and risked her life to bring her into the world.

We can't just say we're not going to care, can we?

The Empress Dowager did not listen to the Emperor Emeritus. She did not believe that simply watching would truly allow her to remain untroubled.

"You said the Empress Dowager sent someone out of the palace to deliver an imperial edict?" Duanmu Chuze paused, then put the pen back on the pen holder.

"Your Majesty, that's right. They just left Fushou Palace. They probably haven't even left the palace gates yet. Should I send someone to stop them?"

Duanmu Chuze thought for a moment, "No need! Let her be. I want to see if Zhaoyang dares to enter the palace this time!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Mu Xin Nuan came out of the inner hall and watched Steward De leave the main hall. "A Ze, I have a feeling that something is not quite right."

"What's wrong?"

"I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it was because Princess Zhaoyang's personality changed drastically at the beginning? Or maybe it was because Li Wanhe successfully married into the Luo family. Anyway, something seems off in many ways."

"Then why don't you tell me, do you feel that something is wrong with Zhaoyang, or do you feel that the entire Luo family is wrong?"

This sentence, however, was a wake-up call for Mu Xinnuan.

“Something’s wrong with Princess Zhaoyang. Even though she was a bit arrogant before, she would never have gone so far as to kill someone! And the target was her personal maid.”

Duanmu Chuze frowned; what he said seemed to make some sense.

"Furthermore, think about it. If I were also drugged or poisoned, and my personality changed drastically, why would I only target those around me? Why wouldn't I target you?"

Duanmu Chuze's fingers tightened. "You mean, Zhaoyang's mood has changed drastically, yet she hasn't made any move against anyone else in the household for so many days? For example, Consort Luo or Li Wanhe?"

"It wasn't just them. Back when the Luo family hadn't split up yet, there was also Madam Luo and others. Since the princess was angry, how could she only target some insignificant servants?"

“That makes sense. In the past, when Zhao Yang disciplined people, he always preferred to punish the main body directly, and rarely used their servants as a scapegoat.”

"So, don't you find it strange?"

Duanmu Chuze paced back and forth in the main hall for a while before suddenly standing up straight. "Do you think it's possible that these close maids know some of her secrets?"

Mu Xin Nuan was taken aback. A secret?

"Possibly! For example, could Zhaoyang have had an affair with that mysterious young master? Because he was discovered and was afraid of ruining his reputation, he simply pretended to be crazy and disposed of these people directly?"

"But this doesn't quite fit Zhaoyang's personality. As far as I know, she is deeply in love with Consort Luo. Even though she sometimes feels that he is not ambitious enough, she would never do something that violates the virtues of a woman."

This involves a person's upbringing and manners.

Princess Zhaoyang is a princess of the Dayong Dynasty. The Empress only has two daughters. Look at Duanmu Jing, this princess who is spoiled to the extreme, she still knows the virtues and manners of a woman. Then Princess Zhaoyang must have learned the rules even better.

"Perhaps it was Li Wanhe's arrival that completely changed her?"

At this point, Mu Xin Nuan felt somewhat guilty and ashamed.

If she hadn't schemed against Consort Luo and Li Wanhe, perhaps Princess Zhaoyang wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament.

Duanmu Chuze's eyes lit up. "Anuan, what did you just say?"

Mu Xin Nuan blinked innocently, "It's Li Wan He? Could it be that she provoked Zhao Yang?"

"No, the sentence after that?"

Mu Xin Nuan's bright eyes flickered, and she suddenly paused, "You mean, she really has become a different person?"
