Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

She secretly glanced at the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Princess. In her previous life, the weak and incompetent Fourth Prince failed in his rebellion. Xie Shang, out of consideration for their brotherly love, exiled the Fourth Prince's family to a bitter and cold place.

Prince Yu, who had a deep inimical relationship with Xie Shang, lived his whole life in a muddle because of his obsession with women. He was never valued by Xie Shang, and eventually Prince Yu's family fell into poverty, and he lived a miserable life in the second half of his life. When she heard that his newly married princess was not a good person and was much more powerful than Luo Ziqiong, she sighed, "It takes another evil to deal with an evil person!"

The Third Prince Xie Xuan was born with a disability. He was very prudent and he and the Third Princess became a pair of handsome mandarin ducks.

She also had no sympathy for the Fourth Princess in front of her. How pitiful she felt for those who dared to rebel.

Princess Yu wouldn't be so stupid as to choose today to murder a one-month-old baby. Besides, there are so many servants taking care of her. How could it just happen that the little princess was disfigured after she went in? If this isn't a frame-up, what is?

Only Xie Yu, with his pig brain, would beat someone up without any reason.

How much does he dislike Luo Ziqiong to be able to use such harsh force!

Jiang Fenghua looked indifferent and watched coldly. Xie Shang was much smarter than her. He had his own clear decisions regarding royal affairs. Now was not the time for her to show up.

After a while, the wet nurse and maids who were responsible for taking care of the little princess were called out one by one, and they all knelt in a row.

"Who discovered that the little princess' face was injured?" Xie Shang's eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded a chilling aura of a king, which made people afraid.

A maid in pink was so frightened that she kowtowed immediately and said, "Yes, I am your servant."

"Who pointed out Princess Yu? She was the one who harmed the little princess." Xie Shang was not in a hurry to ask who was right or wrong. He only asked about the process and found clues from it. He was able to handle the case with ease.

"It's me." said a woman.

Xie Shang asked, "Do you have evidence to accuse Princess Yu of murdering the child? Please tell me the whole story. If you have concealed or lied, I will not forgive you."

The nurse told the whole story, "I am the little princess's nurse. Princess Yu came in to see the child. I had just finished feeding her and put her in the cradle. At that time, I asked the princess to look after her and she readily agreed."

"So you didn't see Princess Yu murdering the child with your own eyes." Xie Shang said coldly.

The wet nurse said quickly, "Yes, but when I left, Princess Yu was the only one there. She must have scratched the little princess's face." She just didn't want to take responsibility so she mentioned Princess Yu.

Xie Shang asked Princess Yu again, "What did Princess Yu say? They said that you murdered the little princess."

Princess Yu did not dare to act presumptuously in front of Xie Shang. She could sense that Xie Shang had no ill intentions and just wanted to find out the truth. She said, "I didn't harm the little princess. I like such a young child so much that I don't have time to hurt her."

"If it's not you, who do you think it is?" Xie Shang asked again, "The nanny said that you were the only one left to look after the child. Do you have any evidence to prove that it wasn't you?"

Princess Yu then remembered, "It must be her, that maid."

"Who? What maid?" Xie Shang asked in a deep voice.

"After I left here, I saw a maid come in, a maid in a pink dress. I thought she was here to take care of the little princess, so I didn't take it seriously and left alone." Princess Yu added, "I was in a bad mood at the time, so I didn't pay attention to what she looked like."

Xie Shang asked again, "Have all the maids serving here arrived?"

"They're all here." said the nurse.

Princess Yu looked around and shook her head, "I really have no impression. The maids in the Fourth Prince's mansion all wear the same color."

Jiang Fenghua leaned close to Xie Shang's ear and said, "Just now in the garden...it was also a maid in pink."

Xie Shang was also alert and said to Xie Yang, "Call all the maids in the palace and ask Princess Yu to identify them one by one. If she can't recognize them, Princess Yu will be the biggest suspect and will implicate the royal heir. I'm afraid I will report this to my father. If anyone dares to murder the royal grandson, I will not let him off easily."

Xie Yang said quickly, "There's no need to go to so much trouble. The matter has already happened. Now just let the imperial physician treat the disease as best as possible."

Xie Shang knew that he had always been weak and timid, but he was also very perceptive. After all, it was his daughter whose face was disfigured, and he still wanted to keep the peace. Could it be that he knew something about the inside story?

Xie Shang asked the Fourth Princess, "Princess, don't you want to investigate?"

How could the Fourth Princess not investigate? She said anxiously, "We must find out. I must find the murderer and ask for an explanation for my daughter. Who would be so cruel as to kill such a young child?"

"Princess Four, may I have a word with you?" Xie Shang suddenly asked.

The fourth princess was puzzled, "What does the prince want to say?"

Xie Shang motioned Jiang Fenghua to follow him into the inner room. After all, she was a woman, and it would be inconvenient for him as a man.

The Fourth Prince was about to come in, but was stopped by Xie Shang. "Today the palace is hosting a wedding banquet, and with so many people it's not easy to investigate. If it gets out of hand it might affect the reputation of the royal family. Fourth Brother, why don't you go and appease the guests first?"

The Fourth Prince's eyes turned and he really went out, but he was not going to appease the guests. He went straight to the side courtyard. Xie Shang asked Xie Yu to follow him quietly.

Xie Yu naturally refused to accept it, "Why should I follow him? I won't go."

"If your princess attempts to murder the crown prince and your father hears about it, can you get away or clear yourself of suspicion?" Xie Shang threatened directly.

Xie Yu glared at Luo Ziqiong coldly and followed her angrily.

On the other side, Xie Shang entered the inner room again and asked the Fourth Princess directly, "May I ask if the Princess has offended anyone recently? Could the injury on the little princess's face be caused by the Princess's enemy?"

The Fourth Princess denied it outright, "No, even if he has an enemy, he would take revenge on me, why would he take revenge on my daughter?"

Xie Shang didn't say anything either, and signaled Jiang Fenghua to hit her.

The couple sang the same tune, cooperating very well. Jiang Fenghua said, "If the enemy can't do anything to the princess, he can only take revenge on the little princess. That person can come and go freely in the palace. Princess Four, think carefully about who has sneaked in."

The fourth princess tightly grasped her handkerchief and denied it, "No way!"

"Princess Yu is usually arrogant and domineering. She doesn't have any children, so she might hold a grudge against people who have children. That's why everyone is convinced that she must be the murderer. However, the government relies on evidence to judge cases, and we can't just let everyone say something and directly point out that it was Princess Yu. Princess Yu insisted that it wasn't her, so what can Fourth Sister-in-law do to her? Fourth Sister-in-law, think carefully about whether you have offended anyone."

Suddenly, the Fourth Princess' heart trembled, and her eyes were timid, "This..."

Xie Shang also noticed something, but his identity made it inconvenient for him to say these words. However, it was different when Jiang Fenghua, a woman, said them.

In his heart, he secretly praised Jiang Fenghua for his clear thinking and for knowing how to guide the Fourth Princess step by step.

He gestured to Jiang Fenghua again.

Jiang Fenghua nodded and agreed with him, and pulled the Fourth Princess aside, "Fourth sister-in-law, if you have any unspeakable secrets, please tell Fenghua. If Princess Yu is wrongly accused, this matter will not end with her temper. If the real murderer is not caught this time, it will encourage the murderer's arrogance. The little princess is still so young, and if something happens in the future that will make the Fourth Princess regret it, what should we do?"
