Prince Jing was furious and shouted, "This vicious girl! Why don't you let her sister off the hook? Jingying is already very pitiful, and she has to curse her like this! This is outrageous!"

Zeng hurriedly advised in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down! The princess is young and ignorant, it is normal for her to be a little naughty. For the sake of the princess, don't bother with her!"

Prince Jing said angrily: "It is because the princess spoiled her too much that this girl has become unruly and has no rules at all! She is far worse than her two sisters!"

Luan Xi also advised: "Your Highness, let's investigate the matter of the innocent puppet first! Maybe the concubine's illness is related to this..."

Prince Jing nodded and said, "Yes! The Concubine must have been cursed and possessed. Someone, go and bring the maid Yue Tao here!"

"Yes!"

The servant agreed and turned away.

After a cup of tea, she came back and said, "Your Highness, the maid in charge said Yue Tao fell ill and died a few days ago!"

"Dead?" Prince Jing said in shock, "Could he have been murdered to silence him?"

Everyone was silent.

Zeng said: "If that's the case, there's nothing we can do..."

"No! We must get to the bottom of this matter today!"

Prince Jing was furious and said, "Someone, go and call Yuying to me!"

Zeng cautiously advised, "Your Highness, this is not a good idea, is it? If you can't find out anything, wouldn't it be unfair to the princess? Even the princess wouldn't look good..."

Prince Jing sneered and said, "I'm afraid it's not an injustice!"

Zeng's eyes widened and she asked, "My Lord, what do you mean by that?"

"I'm afraid that the princess may have deliberately made the Concubine Dowager sick in order to prevent Mrs. Du from being buried in the ancestral tomb! Yuying is young and ignorant, and it's possible that she helped her mother do something wrong..."

Zeng stopped talking. This was exactly what she wanted Prince Jing to misunderstand!

The servants in the palace searched the whole house but could not find any trace of Yuying.

After hearing this, Princess Jing rushed to the ancestral hall with her people and angrily asked, "My Lord, why are you looking for Yuying?"

Zeng hurriedly stepped forward to pay her respects, but Princess Jing didn't even look at her. She just glared at Prince Jing!

Prince Jing said, "Rong'er, you came just in time! Did you know that on the first day of the new year, Yuying sent people to the ancestral hall to pray for blessings?"

Princess Jing raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Prince Jing sneered and said, "Do you know why she sent someone here?"

"What do you want to say?"

When Prince Jing heard this, he was so angry that he trembled all over and said, "At that time, Jingying was still in danger of death, but Yuying sent people to curse her sister to ascend to paradise early! How could there be such a cruel sister in this world?"

Princess Jing said coldly, "Yuying has always been like this. It's not the first time Your Majesty has heard of this. I'll talk to her when I get back."

"No, it's more than that! I also dug this out near the ancestral hall!"

Prince Jing said, and ordered someone to bring the witch figurine over, saying, "Someone buried this underground to curse the concubine to be possessed by evil spirits!"

After reading it, Princess Jing's face changed drastically and she frowned and said, "Your Highness suspects that this matter is related to Yuying?"

Prince Jing sneered and said, "Except for the one who sent someone on Chuyi, no one else has come! And what's very strange is that the maid Yuetao who came later died in a very strange way..." After saying that, he stared at Princess Jing...

Princess Jing understood immediately and said coldly: "Your Highness suspects that Yuying did this? Then why did she do this! The Concubine Dowager is her grandmother and her distant cousin. What good will it do to her if she kills the Concubine Dowager?"

Prince Jing gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid she was instructed by someone, and it's possible that she had to do it for some purpose!"

Princess Jing suddenly stood up, pointed at Prince Jing's nose and cursed: "Miao Zhen'an! Are you crazy! You actually suspect your own daughter? Who are the Du mother and daughter? Are they worthy of Yuying's curse? A lowly singing girl who climbed up by selling her body entered the palace pregnant with someone else's bastard, and you treated her like a treasure! You guys worked together to plot against me, and now you accuse Yuying of cursing the Concubine Dowager, why don't you just die!"

From the moment Princess Jing started to curse, the servants and attendants all left on their own. In the end, even the housekeeper Luan Xi and several personal attendants quietly left, leaving only Prince Jing and his wife and Zeng.

Seeing that the situation was favorable, Zeng really wanted to stay and watch the fun.

But when he heard Princess Jing start to scold Madam Du, he had no choice but to quietly withdraw...

Prince Jing said viciously, "Yes! I would rather raise a child for someone else, so what? You are just looking down on me because you are doing me a favor! Now that I am about to bury Ah Jun in the ancestral tomb, you come up with this idea to stop me! Don't even think about it! As soon as the Concubine Dowager recovers from her illness, I will go to the palace to plead for mercy. No one can stop me from doing what I want!"

Seeing her cousin so angry, Princess Jing said with disdain, "Are you taking yourself too seriously? Can the emperor make an exception for you, a powerless and idle prince? What merits has Du done to deserve such respect from the court? Don't be so wishful thinking! As long as I, Wen Qirong, am here, your wish will never come true!"

Prince Jing was so angry that he jumped up and down and said, "Then I will divorce you!"

When these words came out, Zeng, who was hiding in the dark and eavesdropping, was stunned...

She never expected that the surprise would come so suddenly!

Princess Jing didn't expect that this always stupid cousin would suddenly become so cruel!

In addition to feeling sad, she could only angrily say, "Alright! Whoever doesn't divorce me is a grandson! I've had enough! Go away with your gentle and considerate concubines! Don't let your mother come forward to invite me back, we'll end it all from now on!"

After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.

Zeng came over quietly and said, "My Lord, the princess has asked someone to pack up and prepare to go back to her parents' home... Do you want to go over and take a look?"

"Don't worry about her! Now that she's gone, don't come back! I've had enough of this kind of life! If she wants to go back to her parents' home, then let her go. Anyway, I won't beg her to come back."

Zeng was secretly delighted after hearing this, but on the surface she pretended to persuade him, "If the princess really returns to her parents' home, the emperor will definitely inquire about this matter... The Wen family has a deep foundation in the court, and they will not give up easily..."

Prince Jing said, "Ever since Ajun and her daughter died, I feel that life is meaningless! Whatever you want to do, at most you can remove my title and become an ordinary member of the royal family again, which is no big deal!"
