Chapter 1302 Secret 2
Princess Changyang was surprised to hear this, and did not answer directly. She asked instead: "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

"A few months ago, I accidentally discovered something. After investigating, it seems to be related to the palace back then. I would like to ask Princess, what is the result of the investigation into the poisoning back then?"

"What did you find?" Princess Changyang asked.

"I can't reveal it for now, but I have some guesses in my mind, but I'm still lacking some evidence. Once all the evidence is collected, I'll show it to the prince and princess for review." Ye Qianning said.

Princess Changyang heard the cryptic meaning in her words and stopped asking questions, recalling what happened that year.

"Princess, who was that woman back then, and what grudge did she have with the palace? Can you tell me in detail?" Ye Qianning asked again.

Princess Changyang was silent for a while before she slowly nodded. Thinking of that woman, a fierce look flashed through her eyes again: "That woman was originally my cousin. We grew up together. Grandpa made a marriage contract with the Nan family in the capital. At that time, the Nan family had not yet been crowned as a king, but was still a general family in the capital. They were waiting for us two sisters to choose one of us to marry in the capital after we reached the age of 15.

When the prince was a teenager, my cousin hid behind the screen and secretly fell in love with the master of the Nan family when he came to visit. However, my grandfather thought she was not stable enough and was afraid that marrying into a wealthy family would ruin the family's reputation, so he asked me to exchange the engagement letter with the prince and get engaged. After that, no matter how much my cousin made a fuss, it was of no avail. Gradually, she became distant from me.

After I married into the capital, I heard that my cousin eloped with someone and disappeared. I didn’t see her again until several years later. By then, I already had Feng’er and Su’er. It was Feng’er’s fifth birthday party, and she came uninvited, crying about her difficulties and begging me to take her in. Thinking of our childhood friendship, I softened my heart and took her in. At that time, the prince was away on a military expedition, and she lived peacefully in the mansion for two years. The following year, Feng’er fell ill and passed away, and Su’er fell into the water... If she hadn’t stayed by my side, accompanied me, and comforted me, I wouldn’t have survived..."

When talking about the past, Princess Changyang's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs. Losing two children in one year was the biggest pain in her heart.

“Later…” Princess Changyang’s red eyes were filled with hatred. “Later, the prince returned to the capital after his victory and was named the King of the Opposite Sex. She actually planned to give the prince the drug that he feared… If it weren’t for the prince’s determination, she would have succeeded. After the incident was exposed, I immediately had her driven out of the palace. After that, I didn’t hear from her for a long time. However, I received her letters every year, which were basically full of curses and insults… After the prince knew about it, he had the letters blocked, and then there was no news from her.

After receiving the news from the young master of the Zhan family, the prince led people to the Babao Tower and brought her back to the palace. I learned that she had been in the capital all these years. The maids and servants who had colluded with her in the palace committed suicide by taking poison before they could be interrogated. She wanted to bite her tongue to commit suicide but was stopped. After several interrogations by the prince, she confessed to murdering Feng'er and Su'er, saying that I had taken her position and she wanted to make me live a life worse than death..."

Princess Changyang burst into tears after she finished speaking, her eyes were filled with hatred, she felt that life was worse than death...

She did it. If she hadn't taken her in out of weakness, her two children wouldn't have died...

She did so many things that were detrimental to the palace right under their noses, and her Xiang'er almost lost her life. She hated her and also hated herself for not being able to protect them.

Ye Qianning listened quietly. It was understandable that a person would do crazy things because of love turning into hate. Killing offspring was indeed more cruel than killing the person. It had to be said that the person was indeed a sinister one.
