The steward replied: "His Royal Highness personally led the Royal Guards to the uncle's residence."
"His Royal Highness went to the uncle's house in person?" Huangfu Chuchu was surprised and turned to look at Yun Zishu and Princess Wuyang, "So the prince has already mastered the evidence?"
"Evidence is not that difficult to find." Yun Zishu said calmly, "As long as we find out the identity of the dead soldier, we can know who the master behind it is."
Sicang used to work in this field in Dayong. It couldn't be easier to find out the identity of a dead soldier.
"That's true." Huangfu Chuchu nodded, "But do you need to ask the prince to personally handle such a small matter?"
Once the prince gives an order, someone will naturally handle the matter properly. Why does he need to condescend to go there in person?
"The Imperial Uncle's Mansion is no better than other mansions. It is the Queen's natal family." Princess Wuyang smiled casually, "The Crown Prince is determined to teach the Situ family a lesson, and he will not give it to anyone else."
Yun Zishu put down the tea cup and raised a faint smile at the corner of her mouth: "Dongyou hasn't been this lively in a long time, right?"
"Actually, it was very lively before." Princess Wuyang shook her head, as if she understood what Yun Zishu meant, "Before the prince came back, the intrigues between the royal families were very fierce, especially the three major palaces, Chengwang's Palace, Rongwang's Palace and Xuanwang's Palace.
The princes all coveted the throne, formed cliques at the top, and used various tricks at the bottom. However, as soon as the prince came back, everyone's hopes were suddenly dashed. The huge gap in mentality made them unanimously hostile to the prince, and even
It is an attempt to evade the prince's power and make him a prince with only a false name but no real power."
It's a pity that God does not follow people's wishes.
The prince quickly assumed power upon his return. Not only did the emperor ask him to supervise the regency, but four of the five major families in the imperial city chose to support the prince, which was really unexpected.
The calm on the surface could not conceal the real thunderous methods. The three princes were at a loss as to how to deal with it. In a hurry, Dong Lingyue was the first to try the law himself, and he was also the first to pay a huge price.
After learning from the past, Prince Cheng's Mansion and Prince Rong's Mansion calmed down a little.
It's just that they were used to being arrogant in the past, and it was impossible to completely restrain themselves for a while, so Dong Lingyan and Dong Lingxuan dared to be arrogant in front of the Crown Princess.
"Sister Zishu!" Yun Baozhu's frightened and pleading voice suddenly sounded outside, "I want to see sister Zishu! Please let me in. I have something to say to sister Zishu, sister Zishu!"
Aunt Shi hurriedly walked in to plead guilty: "Just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned Princess Baozhu and asked her a few words. After leaving the study, Princess Baozhu rushed over while the maid was not prepared and asked Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to forgive her."
Yun Zishu's expression was indifferent, and her tone was a little more impatient: "Let her in."
"yes."
Aunt Shi walked to the door and said, "The Crown Princess asked Princess Baozhu to come in and talk."
As soon as these words came out, the maids who were blocking the way stepped back to both sides. Yun Baozhu walked in quickly. As soon as he stepped through the door, he knelt down with a plop: "Sister Zishu, I know I was wrong! Please forgive me! I deserve to die.
!I will never dare to do it again...Sister Zishu!Sister Zishu!"
"It is forbidden to make noise in front of the Crown Princess." Aunt Shi frowned, "How is it appropriate for Princess Baozhu to cry and shout like this?"
Yun Baozhu's voice faltered, and he unconsciously lowered his voice, but there was still fear and uneasiness in his voice, "Sister...Sister Zishu, I know I was wrong. I had no intention of helping Situ Wan murder Sister Zishu.
Everything is her own idea..."
"Is Princess Baozhu an insider to Situ Wan's plot to murder the Crown Princess?" Princess Wuyang heard the mystery and asked quickly, "Did she ask you to cooperate?"
Princess Baozhu's face turned pale: "Situ Wan thought that Sister Zishu was not good at riding horses, so she asked Sister Zishu and I to each pick a docile horse. I... I'm scared, I don't dare to ride a horse..."
"Are you also aware of the assassination matter?"
"No, no! I really didn't know there was an assassin!" Yun Baozhu quickly denied, "I thought she just wanted Sister Zishu to fall off her horse and make Sister Zishu laugh in front of all the ladies. I...
…I didn’t know there were assassins, I really didn’t know…”
"Dare to think of murdering the crown princess, you are simply asking for death." Princess Wuyang smiled coldly, "Even if Princess Baozhu failed to succeed, she can still be regarded as an accomplice, right? She didn't report the knowledge, helped the villain, and still wanted the prince to do it.
Concubine, forgive you? In my opinion, since you are Situ Xuan’s fiancée, you might as well go to jail with Situ Xuan this time.”
"Sister Zishu, I deserve to die! I know I was wrong!" Yun Baozhu said, raising his hand to slap himself in the face. The crackling sound was particularly clear, "Sister Zishu, please forgive me, I know I was wrong.
I really understand my mistake, and I will never dare to do it again in the future, Zi...Sister Zishu..."
Yun Zishu looked at her without saying a word, her indifferent and beautiful face seemed to be lingering with a layer of ice-like color, which made people feel scared.
Seeing that she had been silent, Yun Baozhu didn't dare to stop moving, so the only sound in the hall was her own slaps.
Huangfu Chuchu and Princess Wuyang saw that she was really scared this time. It was not the hypocrisy of the last time she asked for forgiveness, nor was it a threat that she could not afford to kneel down, but she truly felt the feeling of fear and uneasiness.
But Yun Zishu has never been such an easy person to talk to.
After experiencing everything in Dayong and Dongyou, she has developed a heart as hard as iron and knows that tolerance is never a reason for people to change their ways.
"You want me to forgive you and stop pursuing your faults?" Yun Zishu looked at her expressionlessly, her tone cold and distant, "You might as well give me a reason."
Yun Baozhu's face was already swollen: "I..."
"Let's go." Yun Zishu stood up and walked out, "Accompany me to see Situ Wan and tell her the truth in front of her. I will believe in your sincerity in your apology and repentance.
"
Yun Baozhu's expression changed: "When... in front of Situ Wan?"
"What?" Yun Zishu looked at her mockingly, her eyes extremely cold, "Do you still think you can marry into the Situ family smoothly?"
"I……"
"Even if you want to marry, I'm afraid the Situ family won't be able to marry you." Yun Zishu walked out, "This matter cannot be resolved for good. The prince will definitely make the Situ family pay the price."
Huangfu Chuchu stood up and added in a leisurely manner: "Situ Wan will never marry into the Huangfu family in this life, so Princess Baozhu can think carefully about whether she wants to give up her merits."
Yun Baozhu really regretted agreeing to cooperate with Situ Wan's plan at this time. Although she failed to participate smoothly, she was glad that she could not participate smoothly.
"I...I'll go." Yun Baozhu stood up and followed, "I'm willing to sacrifice my merits."
