“There were only two of them that spoke. After being tortured for a while, they were sure that someone else had already confessed. Even if they didn’t say anything, we already knew what happened. They knew it would be useless to hold on. Even if they speak or not, they know they will die, so some of them choose to confess to have an easier death.’

“Actually, when they confessed, they didn’t know much. It’s more or less like what the traitor told us. It’s just that their king saw a child. Not long after, he sent someone to Huaishu Village in Pingan Town of Xinyuan County to kill Xue Yan, who should be the Crown Prince.

“As for the pregnant Empress, she is living in Xue Yan’s house. When they arrived at Xinyuan County, they accidentally discovered that the Empress Dowager was staying at Jufang Inn. That was why they decided to kill the Empress Dowager first before killing the rest.

“They believed that the Empress Dowager had the power to abolish the current Emperor and establish a new Emperor. Therefore, they said that killing you would be more beneficial to Prince Ying. Before they set off, Prince Ying had also instructed them to adapt accordingly to changes and do what needs to be done.’

“l asked them if they knew if Emperor Yi was involved, but the two of them shook their heads and said they didn’t know. They only knew that Emperor Yi wanted to do something to the child at first, but later, for some reason, chose to treat that child like a distinguished guest.”

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Yunzi was immediately certain that they wanted Xue Yan dead.

Emperor Yi must have told Prince Ying about what Wei Zizhan had told him, which was why Prince Ying had sent people to Huaishu Village at such a timely manner.

She had been wondering just who could have sent out so many experts, but now she was certain that it was Prince Ying. She was no longer surprised that the men were highly experienced.

Prince Ying was the late Emperor’s uncle, and he was currently the next in line to be the Emperor in the imperial family. He usually liked to secretly recruit extraordinary people, and in her eyes, he was considered a disloyal person.

She had once told the late Emperor about this, but the late Emperor had refused to listen to her. He had said that Prince Ying was the same age as him and had grown up together with him. The two of them had a good relationship, and Prince Ying would rebel against others, but he would never rebel against him.

At that time, it was also because of the frequent wars and the unstable situation that she had grown into this worry.

She feared that they would fight amongst themselves. That one day, Prince Ying would stab the former Emperor in the back.

After the late Emperor passed away, her son, Emperor Hao, succeeded to the throne. Even though her son was still young at the time, perhaps because Prince Ying was getting on in years, he gradually became more well-behaved and did not secretly recruit. As time passed, she believed that Prince Ying had accepted his fate.

Who knew that Prince Yings disloyal heart would rise up again at this moment?

He must have instigated this!

As expected, if he let Emperor Yi go, there would be endless trouble.

If she had known this would happen, she would rather bear the infamy of killing the root of the problem and not even letting the child off. She would have killed that scourge Emperor Yi, who had harmed Da Ling so much and maintained peace.

Empress Dowager Yunzi let out a heavy sigh before letting the messenger leave. She then called someone in and instructed, “Quickly return to the capital and report this to the Emperor. Tell him that Prince Ying has disloyal intentions and that I was attacked.’

“As you wish!” The person who was called immediately left.

Empress Dowager Yunzi sighed again when she saw that he had left.

She was doing this to let her eldest son gain some confidence.

Prince Ying had disloyal intentions and attempted to assassinate her. He also had ill intentions to kill the Crown Prince and Empress. The evidence was conclusive, this was no small matter. If they were not careful, Prince Ying might raise an army to rebel, and the people would suffer… Moreover, before the late Emperor’s father died, he had left behind a decree. Ever since the late Emperor’s death, she had been in charge of that decree.. Now, in this world, only she knew about this decree…
