Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 451 Who Instigated (2)
Prince Ning ignored Sun Xiwang's plea, and ordered the secret guards to let the white woman's son, Sun Xiwang, and his wife sign the confession, and then they locked up their whole family in secret.

After receiving the confession, Prince Ning did not feel at ease in the slightest. He thought for a long time before calling his third son, Xiao Ze, in front of him.

"Ze'er, this is the confession of the dog servant who murdered your mother, take a look." Prince Ning said gloomyly.

Xiao Ze took the confession and read it carefully, then frowned his handsome eyebrows. "Father, there is something my son can't figure out." Xiao Ze looked up at his father and said.

"Oh? Why can't you figure it out?" Prince Ning asked immediately.

Xiao Ze put the confession back on the table, and said solemnly: "Brother has been demoted back to Shanyang, no matter what major changes happen in the palace, he is no longer qualified to inherit the palace, this is very clear to the elder brother, he Why do you want to harm your mother? Is it just to vent your anger? Although the elder brother has lost his position as the eldest son, he has not entered a dead end. Why is there any need to cause another trouble. He knows how much his father values ​​his mother and younger brother, so how can he do such a thing that stabs his father's heart? Could it be that the elder brother is really tired of life and wants to seek his own death? "

What Xiao Ze said made Prince Ning's mind calm down a lot, and he was able to think with his heart.Xiao Yu was demoted to Shanyang, Prince Ning did not give up on him completely, but secretly sent someone to watch him, firstly for surveillance and secondly for protection, no matter how Xiao Yu is his blood, this blood relationship is like flowing water, cannot really be severed.

According to the spy's report, after Xiao Yu arrived in Shanyang, he was very calm, and his relationship with his wife, Cheng Shi, was much better. Except for the fact that the couple greeted the elders of the clan within the first ten days after arriving in Shanyang , and never went out again, and lived behind closed doors every day, the husband and wife sipped tea, enjoyed flowers and read books, and lived a peaceful and leisurely life.The most important thing is that Xiao Nuo has never seen an outsider, nor has he sent anyone to contact the capital. It seems that everything in the capital is the same as in the previous life, and the eldest son Xiao Nuo has completely disappeared.

"Ze'er, do you mean that your elder brother ordered Mrs. Bai to harm your mother?" Prince Ning asked thoughtfully.

Xiao Ze nodded and said: "Back to the father, the son really thinks so. In the past, when the eldest brother was the eldest son, he had a reason to harm the mother, but now the son can't figure out why he has to harm the mother again. Said If it is disrespectful, even if only the blood of the eldest brother is left in the palace, it is impossible for him to return to the capital to inherit the palace."

Prince Ning nodded his head. What Xiao Ze said was correct. Xiao Yu had been removed from the jade plate, and he was no longer a descendant of Prince Ning’s mansion. In the order of Prince Ning’s jade plate, Xiao Xi was the eldest son, and Xiao Ze was the second son. Son, it was just because he was used to the original arrangement and Prince Ning didn't want to make his family scandal public, so he didn't order the people in the mansion to change their words.And after all, Xiao Yu still has the blood of the late emperor flowing in his body, that's why he was demoted to Shanyang, at least to give him a way to survive.

"Father, who has instigated Mrs. Bai, I'm afraid there will be another trial." Xiao Ze said in a deep voice.

Prince Ning nodded and said: "Okay, you can then interrogate those dog servants as your father."

As soon as the father and son walked out of the study, an ordinary-looking young daughter-in-law ran up to them. Seeing Prince Ning and the third master Xiao Ze together, she hurriedly stood aside with her hands down, but her face was obviously anxious.When Prince Ning saw the woman running, his face changed slightly, and he immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Go to the study and answer."

The daughter-in-law responded and hurriedly followed Prince Ning to the study. Xiao Ze stopped on purpose, and Prince Ning walked a few steps before realizing that his son hadn't followed, so he turned around and called, "Ze'er, come too. Let's listen together." Only then did Xiao Ze quickly follow up.

Entering the study, the daughter-in-law rushed to greet her, Prince Ning shouted in a deep voice: "Excuse me, tell me what happened?"

"Back to the prince, Sun Xiwang, the son of the white lady, committed suicide by bumping into the wall." The young daughter-in-law reported anxiously.

"What, both of them died?" Prince Ning was shocked and asked sharply.

The young daughter-in-law became more and more nervous, she lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "Yes, both of them are dead."

"What a cruel heart!" Xiao Ze took a deep breath and said something deeply.

"Ze'er, you go back first, I will go and check it out myself." Prince Ning said coldly, then walked out.Xiao Ze hurriedly caught up and said, "Father, my son will go with you."

"Ze'er, don't go, you have just died, so don't be bullied again." Prince Ning really has a fatherly heart towards Xiao Ze, and he still thinks so thoughtfully when he is furious.

Xiao Ze shook his head lightly, looked into his father's eyes and said: "With my father and king here, my son is not afraid of any evil spirit."

A smile appeared on Prince Ning's face, he patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go check it out together."

That young daughter-in-law is the secret guard, seeing that the master attaches so much importance to the third son, she doesn't even hide the matter of the secret guard, she has a guess in her heart, it seems that the next master of the palace is the third son Xiao Ze, you must know The prince has been the eldest son for 16 years, and the prince has never told him about the hidden guards. It can be seen that in the prince's heart, the third son is more important.

The father and son came to the dungeon where the prisoners were held. It was clearly at noon, but the dungeon was as dark as eternal night.Even if there is a little gleam like a bean, it can't bring much light to the dark dungeon.

The guard who led Prince Ning and his son into the dungeon hurriedly lit two pairs of pine torches, so that Prince Ning and his son could see the dungeon more clearly.

This dungeon is not very big, with a passage in the middle and three cells on each side.Basically, no prisoners have been locked up, so there is no particularly unpleasant smell, but it is a bit cold and damp, and there is a bit of blood in the air. I think it is the smell left by the suicide of the white woman and his wife.

In the second and third cells on the east side, Mrs. Bai and her husband Sun Xiwang were imprisoned respectively. At this time, they were lying on the wall, and the blood on the stone wall was shocking.In the second cell at the west end, the son, daughter-in-law and grandson of Mrs. Bai were imprisoned.The white woman's son was holding on to the fence tightly with both hands, his face was full of horror, and his daughter-in-law was holding the child tightly, she was already sluggish, she didn't even move her eyes anymore, only the one who didn't know what happened The little grandson writhed and struggled uncomfortably in his mother's arms. His mother held him so tightly that he could barely breathe.
