After the Queen of Nanzhao held Dudu in front of everyone in the yard, she took Dudu back to the delivery room.

The servants had cleaned up all the filth in the delivery room and replaced the bedding on the bed with clean ones.

Pei Yi also fetched some water for Xie Zhichan to wipe the sweat off her body, and changed her into a clean set of underwear.

The Queen of Nanzhao returned Dudu to Pei Yi and said to Xie Zhichan, "You should have a good rest first. You are exhausted after giving birth. Don't force yourself to stay awake just because you have the baby. You will have time to see him later. I have to go back and change my clothes and take a bath."

Xie Zhichan nodded and said to the Queen of Nanzhao, "Thank you, mother."

The Queen of Nanzhao rolled her eyes at her and said, "Why are you being so polite to your mother?" Then she walked out of the room, leaving the couple to talk.

Pei Yi held Dudu in his arms and showed him to Xie Zhichan. He stretched out his finger and gently poked Dudu's cheek. He smiled and said to Dudu, "Dudu, I'm your father, and this is your mother."

The baby opened her eyes slightly and then fell asleep again, as if she wanted to continue the sleep she had not finished in her mother's womb.

Because Xie Zhichan planned to feed the baby himself, he did not find a wet nurse.

Dudu wasn’t hungry now, so Xie Zhichan planned to let her take a nap and feed her after she woke up.

After Xie Zhichan fell asleep, Pei Yi placed Dudu next to her, asked Yueyan to guard the room, and went to a dark room in Prince Yan's Mansion.

Normally, if there was an important person to be interrogated, Pei Yi would ask Dan Feng to bring the person here.

When he walked into the dark room, he heard the old woman's wailing.

The woman's leg was completely broken, and her lower body was just a pile of dry bones. The smell of feces and urine mixed together on the ground. She was so frightened that she was almost out of her mind. When she saw Pei Yi coming in, she felt like she had seen a demon from hell. She kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Prince, please spare my life. I won't dare to do it again."

Without waiting for Pei Yi to ask, Dan Feng reported, "This old woman has confessed everything. The poison was given by Qin Baiwei, who is now hiding in the family temple of Prince Yan's mansion. The one who put the poison in the kitchen was Nanny Shi, Lin's confidant. I have asked her to sign a confession, and I have sent people to arrest the people she accused."

Pei Yi nodded, and the Autumn Water Sword at his waist flashed, and the wailing old woman instantly fell silent.

Pei Yi took out a handkerchief and wiped the Qiushui Sword clean, then put it back on his waist and said to Dan Feng, "After you capture them, take them all to the front hall, and call my father as well."

-

Everyone in Prince Yan's mansion was immersed in the joy of the arrival of a new life today. Suddenly, Pei Yi called them all to the hall. Looking at the row of people standing guard outside the hall, they were immediately filled with doubts.

Pei Yuan looked at Pei Yi who was sitting at the bottom and said, "Brother Yi, why did you call everyone here?"

Pei Yi turned the white jade ring on his finger and said, "Of course there is something to be resolved. Father, just wait."

Seeing Pei Yi's indifferent expression, Pei Yuan shut up awkwardly.

After waiting for a while, Heying's men captured three people and threw them in the middle of the hall.

When everyone looked, they saw that the three people were Lin, Qin Baiwei, and Lin's confidante Nanny Shi.

When Lin saw the cold look Pei Yi gave her, she knew that the truth had been revealed, so she knelt down and crawled to Pei Yuan, crying, "Please, my lord, save me! Brother Yi wants to kill me."

Pei Yuan looked at Lin, whose hair was disheveled and whose face was haggard, and then looked at Pei Yi and asked, "Brother Yi, what happened?"

Pei Yi said to Dan Feng, "Take the confession signed by the midwife to show the prince."

Dan Feng agreed and immediately took out the midwife's confession and gave it to Pei Yuan.

When Pei Yuan was about to unfold it, Lin snatched the confession from his hand, crumpled it twice, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and forced himself to swallow it.

Pei Yi saw this and sneered, "Since you are so anxious to destroy the evidence, I might as well tell my father everything myself."

He said to Pei Yuan: "One of the midwives who delivered Ayuan today is from the same hometown as Lin's mother. When she was a child, she was a neighbor of Lin. After the midwives moved into the Prince of Yan's mansion, Lin sent her confidant, Nanny Shi, to tempt her with money and asked her to add abortion drugs to the ginseng soup that Ayuan drank during childbirth. After much persuasion, the midwives agreed.

But what she didn't know was that what Nanny Shi gave her was not a sterilizing drug, but a powerful drug that could cause a woman to hemorrhage and die during childbirth.

Fortunately, my mother-in-law found it in time. Ayuan was lucky enough to escape this disaster. "

Pei Jingshu and others in the room gasped when they heard this. It turned out that the sound of the porcelain cup breaking in the room was caused by this.

Pei Yuan was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He looked at Lin coldly and said, "It was you who really did this."

Lin quickly denied, "No, it's not me, Your Majesty. I have been married to you for many years. Please believe me."

Pei Yuan asked, "Since you didn't do it, why are you in such a hurry to destroy the midwife's confession?"

Lin thought for a moment before replying, "I am worried that the prince only believes what he sees and would wrongly accuse me."

Pei Yi said, "Ms. Lin, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. There are two other people in this room. As long as they both admit it, your excuses will be useless."

Pei Yi stood up and drew out the soft sword from his waist. He walked towards Qin Baiwei, stood in front of her, and asked, "Qin, the poison in the ginseng soup of the Crown Prince's Concubine was given to Lin by you, right? You have been hiding in the family temple of Prince Yan's Mansion these days, right?"

Qin Baiwei looked up at Pei Yi who was standing in front of her. He was like a god, judging her.

She knew Pei Yi never made a move without a purpose, and she could not escape this disaster today. She smiled coldly: "So what? It's a pity that she was lucky enough to escape, otherwise I would have killed her and left her alive."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a pain in her wrist. She looked down and found that all the meridians in her wrists were broken. Her hands were instantly disabled.

Pei Yi's voice was as cold as an ice sword. He continued to look at Qin Baiwei and said, "When you were a child, you deliberately drugged the rabbits in the garden, deliberately told Lin that the symptoms after using the poison were difficult to detect, and deliberately left the poison behind because you planned it well and knew that Lin would use this drug on my mother.

My mother and your mother were good friends. Your mother died in childbirth. She felt sorry for you because you didn't have a mother's love and care, and often invited you to stay in the Prince of Yan's mansion. You would always have a share of whatever your elder sister and third sister had.

But what did you do to her? Why did you want to harm my mother?"

When Qin Baiwei heard Pei Yi's words, her eyes widened. She realized that Pei Yi already knew everything. She smiled sadly and said, "Why? Because I like you."

Pei Yi became even more angry after hearing what Qin Baiwei said: "You like me, so you want to kill my mother? You want me to lose my relatives and suffer for the rest of my life?"

Qin Baiwei smiled sadly and said, "When I was very young, I liked you the moment I saw you. I regarded you as the only light in my world. I wanted you to know how dark and painful my world was, but you couldn't because you were spoiled by your mother. A child with a good mother is like having a light in life. So, I want to make sure there is no light in your world, and let you completely enter my world."

"madman!"

"You are such a madman!"

After hearing what Qin Baiwei said, Pei Jingshu and Pei Jingyu were both horrified by her abnormal psychology.

Pei Yi was silent for a long time before he continued to ask her: "Why did you poison the third sister? How did she offend you?"
