The daughter of the first wife is a little fierce: the war god prince loves her to the sky

Chapter 117 Xie's Death

Even though Xie had been divorced by the Left Prime Minister, she was still the mother of Concubine Bai of the Eastern Palace, so she was treated well and was imprisoned in a relatively spacious and comfortable cell in Jingzhao Prefecture.

"Princess Changning, this way please"

A jailer led Bai Chuxiao to the cell where Xie was.

Bai Chuxiao nodded slightly, "Thank you for your help." She wanted to ask Xie for confirmation on something today.

The jailer guarding the nearby cells immediately lowered his head and retreated.

Xie Shi was unusually silent, she just sat on the ground and sneered at her.

Bai Chuxiao walked into the cell and smiled, "Aunt Xie, are you okay?"

Xie raised her eyes, with a hint of sarcasm on her face, "What do you think? Isn't it all because of you that I am like this?"

Bai Chuxiao raised her eyebrows, "You planned it first, and now you are suffering the consequences. I thought that my father and you, my aunt, had a deep relationship, but I didn't expect that..."

Xie was startled for a moment, then returned to normal, "Are you here today just to laugh at me?"

Bai Chuxiao smiled and shook her head, then slowly asked, "How did my mother die?"

Xie laughed a few times, with a strange arc on the corner of her mouth, and whispered, "Bai Chuxiao, you have checked it, right? I was the one who killed your mother. I bribed the midwife to cause her to die in childbirth. I was also the one who caused you to fall into the water when you were a child. Are you satisfied with this result?"

Bai Chuxiao's eyes sank slightly, "Aunt Xie, you are so cool and carefree, but do you still care about the two children outside? Tell me the truth, otherwise..."

Xie sneered, "I told you but you didn't believe me. I'm going to die anyway, how can I control them?"

Bai Chuxiao looked down at her and smiled. "You look like you're going to die, isn't it just because someone promised you that they would protect your children? Aunt Xie, why don't you guess who has better means, me, my father, or the one in the East Palace?"

Xie's face froze, but soon calmed down. "What I just said is true. What else do you want to know?"

Bai Chuxiao said calmly, "What deal did you make with my father back then? How much did he participate in my mother's death? As long as you tell the truth, I will never do anything to your children..."

A strange light flashed in Xie's eyes. "You think too much. Your father and I loved each other sincerely back then, but we are old now and our love is gone. As for your mother? She didn't do anything. She just let me do it..."

Bai Chuxiao's eyes turned cold, "Aunt Xie really doesn't care about Bai Haoyun's life or death?"

Xie laughed a few times before slowly speaking, "Bai Chuxiao, you don't have to threaten me. Do you think you can cover the sky with one hand? There are people in this capital that you can't defeat. I'm waiting for you downstairs..."

Bai Chuxiao's face was gloomy, knowing that she would not say anything today.

After leaving Jingzhao Prefecture, Qingshuang and Qingzhu immediately came to greet them.

"What can the princess ask?"

Bai Chuxiao shook her head. "Today's Xie is different from her stupid appearance in the past. Let's go to Prince Yan's Mansion!"

"Yes!"

Prince Yan's Mansion

Bai Chuxiao looked at the swing in the courtyard, which was more exquisite than the one in the glass courtyard, with a smile on her face, "Why did you think of making this?"

Chu Tianze chuckled, "See you like it, and Xiaoxiao looks really good sitting on it!"

Bai Chuxiao clapped her hands and sat on it, "Not bad!"

"What did you find out when you went to Jingzhao Prefecture?"

Bai Chuxiao was helpless, "No, Xie is very tight-lipped and insisted that it was all hers. This is unlike her usual personality."

Chu Tianze raised his eyebrows, "Xiaoxiao cares about the truth of that year?"

Bai Chuxiao shook her head and said softly, "No, Xie won't live long now. This can be considered revenge for my mother and my childhood. But now I find it harder to understand my father."

Chu Tianze comforted him softly, "You won't be able to watch the mess of the Bai family for much longer, so don't ruin your mood."

Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly, "You are right, what did His Majesty say about the Yunzhou incident?"

Chu Tianze shook his head, "I guess they are still investigating."

Bai Chuxiao blinked, "Shouldn't Chu Tianyou be plotting against you? Why is he holding on to me? Can I influence his plans? I've suffered an unexpected disaster. Should I teach him a lesson?"

Without the instigation of the Eastern Palace, Xie would not have the courage to cause trouble in the Imperial Examination Hall.

Chu Tianze chuckled, "Don't worry, after father investigates, he should be quiet for a while."

Mo Yan walked over in a hurry, "Prince, Princess, Xie bit her tongue and committed suicide."

Bai Chuxiao paused, "How could it be?"

Chu Tianze's eyes turned cold, "Who else has been there since Xiaoxiao left?"

Mo Yan bowed his head and said, "People from the East Palace and Bai Xiang have visited."

"Now that you know it, go down."

Bai Chuxiao frowned slightly. It was beyond her expectation that Xie died so soon.

Chu Tianze pressed her hand and said lightly, "It seems that Xie does know some secrets."

Bai Chuxiao thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. The person is dead and I will not be in the Bai family soon. There is no point in pursuing it further."

Everything was normal in the Bai family. After all, Mrs. Xie had been divorced, so the Bai family didn't have to hold a funeral when she died. Mrs. Xie's body was taken back to the Wenxin Marquis's mansion.

In the Imperial Study

"Your Majesty, the people who went to Yunzhou to investigate reported back that there was nothing unusual."

Emperor Wenxuan looked at the man in black kneeling in the center of the hall, his eyes flickered, "Where is the prince?"

The man in black hesitated, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not contacted Prince An."

Emperor Wenxuan's face turned pale. "This idiot, is there any other unusual movement in the northwest?"

The man in black bowed his head and spoke respectfully, "The northwest border is relatively stable. Besides, Murong Yuan is preparing to return to Beijing with his two grandsons."

Emperor Wenxuan's eyes flickered, "Okay, go down."

Then he called Jinzhong

"What do you want, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Wenxuan thought for a moment and said, "Go to the East Palace and pass on the order, asking the Crown Prince to cultivate his character and stay at home for the time being."

Jinzhong was shocked. This was a disguised way of confining the prince. What had the prince done? But it seemed harmless, otherwise the decree would not be so gentle...

"Yes, I'll go right away." Although there were many guesses in my mind, I didn't dare to hesitate.

"Wait a minute." When Jinzhong was about to reach the door, Emperor Wenxuan suddenly called him.

Jinzhong hurried back and listened to the instructions with his head down. Could it be that His Majesty didn't want to confine the Crown Prince again?

After a moment of silence, Emperor Wenxuan slowly asked, "Have you received Murong Yuan's request to return to the capital?"

There was some doubt in Jinzhong's eyes, and he bowed and said, "No, Your Majesty... Murong Yuan has no official position, so he doesn't need to return to the capital..."

Isn't General Murong a commoner now? Why would he write a memorial when he returns to the capital? Is His Majesty confused? But he dared not say this out loud. His Majesty seemed to be very concerned about the Murong family...

Emperor Wenxuan said in a deep voice, "He hasn't been back to the capital for decades, right?"

Jinzhong chuckled, "Your Majesty, Princess Changning grew up in General Murong's mansion. Now that His Royal Highness Prince Yan and the princess are getting married soon, Murong Yuan must have missed his granddaughter and came back to attend the wedding..."

Emperor Wenxuan nodded and said, "Well, let's go to the East Palace to pass on the order."
