Prince Consort Luo carried the child into the carriage, and they went directly to the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

Given Luo's status as a prince consort, the servants naturally dared not neglect him.

Without further ado, Consort Luo handed the child directly to his second wife. "Wanhe has committed suicide by poison. She said that she was forced by the princess to say things that were detrimental to the Li family. She had no choice but to do so to protect the child. Now she felt she had no face to live in this world, so she took her own life."

Upon hearing this, Li Gang couldn't help but tremble. After all, she was his own daughter. Even though she had made mistakes, it was still heartbreaking that she had been driven to her death at such a young age.

"General Li, there is no need to be sad. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and bring justice to the Third Miss Li. I will also ensure that Wanhe does not die in vain."

"Has the Prince Consort come here today?"

"In Wanhe's suicide note, she said that everything was forced by the princess. I was worried that the princess would harm the child, so I brought the child here. I will have to trouble you for a few more days. I will come back to take the child back after I have finished my business."

What else can Li Gang say?

This is his own grandson, how could he possibly push the child away?

"Your Highness, what about Wanhe's funeral arrangements?"

"It's not wise to make a fuss right now. I also ask General Li not to reveal Wanhe's matter for the time being. I need to confront the princess first. Now that she has married into my Li family, how could she do such a despicable thing?"

This was the first time Li Gang had ever seen such a spirited side of Consort Luo. He immediately stopped talking and instructed his wife to take the child away and take good care of him, thus relieving Consort Luo of his worries.

When Consort Luo returned to the princess's residence, the princess was in her bedroom getting ready.

"Your Highness, the Prince Consort has returned. Would you like to go and greet him? And perhaps inquire about the two young masters as well?"

Green Princess was taken aback. She understood that the old woman was reminding her that she was still Princess Zhaoyang.

"Don't worry, Granny, I know how to do it."

After Green Princess left the courtyard and went straight to the front hall, she saw Prince Consort Luo sitting there with a worried expression.

"What's wrong, Prince Consort? Has something happened to Shuang'er?"

A hint of disgust flashed in Consort Luo's eyes, but he still nodded cooperatively. "It concerns Shuang'er's marriage. The Empress Dowager mentioned it to me yesterday, but I felt it was inappropriate. So, I found an excuse to come out of the palace today to discuss it with you."

"Marriage? You mean the Empress Dowager has arranged a marriage for Shuang'er?"

"No official decree was issued. The Empress Dowager's intention was to grant Shuang'er the status of a princess and then send her to the Turks for a marriage alliance."

"What?" Green Princess was no longer calm.

"Shuang'er is only twelve, so young, how can she be married off?" Green Princess wasn't really worried about Shuang'er, but she was worried that once this news was confirmed, Lord Luo's side might make some unusual moves.

Although Lü Ji couldn't understand why Luo Hou valued this pair of nephews and nieces so much, at this crucial moment, Shuang'er absolutely could not afford to make the slightest mistake.

"Princess, I'm afraid this is beyond our control. Why don't you go to the palace and persuade the Empress Dowager?"

"The Empress Dowager has always doted on Shuang'er, how could she make such a decision? Besides, Shuang'er is not yet of marriageable age, how can a young girl be sent to a marriage alliance? Nine times out of ten, it is that bitch Mu Xin Nuan who is plotting against us. Hmph, does she really think that just because she is the Empress, she can arbitrarily decide the fate of others?"

Prince Consort Luo's eyes flickered. "Then what does the princess think?"

"Please calm down, Your Highness. I will think about this matter more carefully."

Green Princess was in a dilemma. If she went to the palace at this time, and then she couldn't get away again, who would come to help Young Master Zheng with matters in the capital?

However, if I don't go to the palace, once Shuang'er's matter is settled, I'm afraid Luo Hou will definitely turn against me, and in that case, things still won't work out.

Seeing Lü Ji's predicament, Consort Luo couldn't help but feel furious!

Shuang'er is your own daughter, why are you making things difficult for her?

Now you won't even let me go into the palace to say a few good words to the Empress Dowager. What a good mother you are!

The Imperial Son-in-Law Luo was somewhat resentful, harboring great dissatisfaction with his wife, Princess Zhaoyang.

Thinking back to the suicide note left by Li Wanhe before her death, he couldn't help but feel disgusted with Princess Zhaoyang.

"Actually, it's not a big deal if the princess doesn't come to the palace. It's just that I have little influence, and the Empress Dowager might always summon me. Well, if I have the time, I'd rather spend more time with Shuang'er. Who knows, if she really goes to the Turks one day, it will be difficult to see her again."

As he spoke, Prince Consort Luo seemed somewhat saddened, and he turned to walk out.

Green Princess's eyes narrowed. This incident at such a critical juncture was indeed quite difficult to handle.

Suddenly, a thought popped into Lü Ji's head: Duanmu Chuze had always advocated a policy of suppression against the Turks, so how could he suddenly agree to the so-called marriage alliance?

Could it be the border region?

Now Green Princess's eyes came to life.

"Husband, wait a moment. I will accompany you to the palace. It's been quite a while since I've seen the children. I will also pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

The prince consort Luo then happily helped her up, and the two entered the palace together.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the Empress Dowager is speaking with Miss Shuang'er in Kunning Palace. The Empress Dowager has decreed that if Princess Zhaoyang arrives, she should also go directly to Kunning Palace, as she wishes to request the title of Princess for Miss Shuang'er."

Princess Zhaoyang, without suspecting anything, hurriedly rushed to Kunning Palace.

What Princess Zhaoyang didn't know was that not long after she left the princess's residence, the Imperial Guards forcibly entered the residence.

With lightning speed, they quickly took control of the entire princess's residence.

Chu Rong entered the main courtyard where the princess resided. After briefly looking around, he began to order his men to search for tunnels and the like.

Soon, Chu Rong discovered the secret passage in the princess's bedroom.

At the same time, Princess Zhaoyang and her husband, Luo, were separated because of the difference between men and women.

Princess Zhaoyang entered the main hall of Kunning Palace by herself.

Upon entering the main hall, Princess Zhaoyang looked up and immediately saw Empress Mu Xinnuan.

Unconsciously, Lü Ji shuddered, feeling that Mu Xin Nuan on the phoenix throne had eyes that could see through everything.

When she met her dark, bright eyes, Green Princess suddenly felt a little guilty. She hesitated for a moment, then quickly put her leg back down, lowered her head slightly, and dared not take another step forward.

More precisely, she seemed to think that if she went any further, Empress Mu Xin Nuan would take her life!

Whether she was a real princess or not, at least Mu Xin Nuan knew who poisoned the Crown Prince.
