So more ministers began to take sides.

The prince was beautiful for a while.

This makes people suspect that the second prince is really the prince who was killed.

It's just that the prince is fully prepared, and no one can catch the handle.

Just when everyone was speculating in their hearts and flattering on the surface.

Another big thing happened in the palace.

Another man died.

The eldest princess Xiao Yi.

—

This time, Banjiu clearly knew how Xiao Yi died.

Xiao Yi died in the uninhabited woods of the palace.

When he was found, he had a large wound on his forehead.

But it wasn't a fatal wound.

Xiao Yi was strangled to death.

There were shocking bruises on her white neck.

Through this scar, you can guess how much effort it took to do it.

The lady who received the news was almost crazy.

She rushed into the woods, picked up Xiao Yi's body and cried bitterly.

This usually arrogant and domineering concubine has now collapsed for the first time.

Everyone knows that her daughter Xiao Yi is her lifeblood, and she is also the last scale she can't touch.

It can be said that as long as anyone treats her daughter half a cent, she will pay it back a thousand times.

And now this daughter is dead.

Concubine Shu's collapse can be imagined.

First Concubine Yin had two lives, then the second prince was gone, and now the eldest princess is gone.

The Emperor was furious again.

He ordered to go down and have the entire area investigated, and the murderer must be found.

There have been many changes in a row, and no one dares to come out a little anymore.

The concubines shrank like quails in their palaces.

Concubine Shu is like crazy, and at this moment, in her eyes, anyone can be the murderer of her daughter.

She didn't know how many people made trouble, and even made trouble for half a long time.

The reason is very simple, Banjiu is the queen, and the only goal of killing the prince and princess is to make the children she gives birth to in the future have no opponents.

She wanted to come here for a long time to make trouble, but she couldn't get in.

After making trouble outside for a while, Concubine Shu went to Concubine De instead.

Concubine De is more suspicious than the queen.

After all, the crown prince has always been raised under the knees of Concubine De.

The second prince and the eldest princess died, so the most advantageous one was the crown prince.

Concubine De also did not let her in.

It is different from in Banjiu.

This time, Concubine Shu has been guarding outside the Concubine De Palace, constantly making trouble.

The appearance of the mad demon seemed to rush in and die with Concubine De.

These messages were reported one by one to Banjiu's ears.

Banjiu clearly knew how Xiao Yi died.

In a sense, Concubine Shu guessed half right.

Xiao Yi was killed by the crown prince Xiao Zhen himself.

But it's not for the conspiracy theory in Concubine Shu's heart.

It's Xiao Yi who saw something he shouldn't have seen.

These days, Xiao Yi has been trying his best to follow the crown prince Xiao Zhen.

In that wood, she inadvertently saw Xiao Zhen having a private meeting with Fu Xia.

One is the current crown prince, and the other is the emperor's concubine.

If this matter spreads, then Xiao Zhen's position as the crown prince must not be guaranteed.

So Xiao Yi was killed.

She was choked by Xiao Zhen's neck and smashed on the tree again and again.

until death by complete suffocation.

Xiao Zhen dealt with the scene and left with Fu Xia, who was a little stunned.

—

It is an extremely quiet palace.

At this time, the bright moon was in the sky, and it was already midnight.

The palace maid on patrol walked cautiously, for fear of disturbing the people inside.

Half a long time appeared in the dark, and she quietly entered.

There were no candles lit in the main hall.

In the darkness, only a woman sitting on the bed could be faintly seen.

There was a gentle gust of wind, and a small candle at the bedside suddenly lit up.

There were flames jumping on it.

The faint flame faintly illuminated the woman on the bed.

It's a good concubine.

The biological mother of the second prince, Concubine Liang.

The candle lit itself, and Concubine Liang's eyes trembled, and she looked over.

Banjiu saw in her eyes the same despair as Concubine Xian.

The despair wrapped around her like an impenetrable net, locking her firmly inside.

"Queen Mother......" She didn't speak for a long time, her voice a little hoarse.

The words that came out were calm without a trace of fluctuation, as if they were dead silent.

"You're the one behind Concubine Xian, right? So who is the person behind you? Banjiu asked.

Concubine Liang's eyes trembled slightly, and she was silent and did not speak.

"You killed the second prince, right? You pressed him into the water and drowned him alive. ”

Concubine Liang's eyes trembled again, she closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, there seemed to be relief inside.

"I thought no one would know......" she said slowly.

Indeed, except for Banjiu, probably no one will suspect her.

After all, she is the mother of the second prince.

The second prince is her son, the son who was conceived in October and gave birth to a child.

Whether it is from the perspective of biological flesh and blood, or from the perspective of profit chips.

It is impossible for Concubine Liang to kill the second prince.

But that's the truth.

"The second prince is not your own." Banjiu said.

Concubine Liang hung her head, her hand came out of the futon, and inside was a gold bracelet.

"...... right"

With just one word, she burst into tears.

"Xiao Zhen, he's not my son, Yi Yi, Yi Yi is my daughter......"

After speaking, Concubine Liang covered her face and whimpered and cried.

She seemed to be afraid of something, and she didn't even dare to cry.

"She clearly promised me that she would protect my daughter, let her sleep at ease for the rest of her life, and let her enjoy the glory and wealth of ......"

Her hands went from covering her face to tearing at her hair.

"Why? Why did she kill my daughter? ”

"The person behind you is the Queen Mother." Banjiu said.

She also thought of the Queen Mother.

It's only now that it's been completely determined.

Concubine Liang froze for a while, and then she nodded.

"It's the Queen Mother." She said.

Back then, Concubine Liang and Concubine Shu were pregnant at about the same time.

Later, he gave birth to a prince and a princess within a month.

Concubine Liang is one step ahead of Concubine Shu, but she gave birth to a royal daughter.

She didn't know that at first.

She was pregnant in October, gave birth once, and finally woke up, and everyone told her, you were lucky to give birth to a prince.

It was the child she had worked so hard to give birth to in October, and it was a piece of flesh that had fallen from her body.

She, like most mothers, loves her children very much.

All this until Concubine Shu gave birth to the princess.

The Queen Mother suddenly summoned her.

On that day, the Queen Mother told her that the second prince was not her son, and the eldest princess born to Concubine Shu was her daughter.

Her first reaction was disbelief.

But on that day, the Queen Mother let people bring Xiao Zhen in swaddling clothes.

They had a blood test.

Xiao Zhen is really not her son.

She knelt on the ground and begged the Queen Mother that she only wanted her daughter, even if it was just a princess.

The Queen Mother made a deal with her.

The Queen Mother said that she would become the mother of the second prince.

If she does, she will protect her daughter and make her the happiest princess in the world.
