When Madame Jiang returned to the main courtyard, she ordered the servants in the room to withdraw. She turned around, raised her hand, and slapped Sun Yiyi's mother.

The Jiang family's slap was very powerful. A red and swollen palm imprint instantly appeared on Sun Yiyi's mother's face. Sun Yiyi's mother covered her face and didn't dare to cry out in pain. She obediently knelt in front of the Jiang family, not daring to say a single word.

"What happened to you? I didn't want you to send Doctor Li out of the room without making any noise, so why did you cause such a ruckus until everyone in the household knows about it?"

The Jiang Clan took in a few deep breaths and knew that there was no use in getting angry now. After suppressing the anger in their hearts with great effort, they finally asked about what had happened so that they could make up for it as soon as possible.

"As per usual, I sent Doctor Li to the north corner of the mountain, but who would have known that Seventh Madame and Cui Huan were sitting around the corner of the fake mountain, there were many vines hanging from them, and this old servant didn't see them. As soon as we got there, Seventh Madame and Cui Huan were also about to walk back, and we almost bumped into each other, so Seventh Madame was startled, and her abdominal pain became unbearable.

"You were only frightened and exposed Doctor Li's identity. Do you know how important Doctor Li is to me?" I secretly saw so many doctors taking so much bitter medicine just to conceive a child. It wasn't easy for this Doctor Li's medicine to work on me, but you actually exposed Doctor Li for such a lowly girl! " The more the Jiang Clan talked, the angrier they got, and their voices couldn't help but become sharper.

"Old servant …" Old Slave... This old servant had the wrong thoughts at the moment. He thought that if wangfei could keep this child, it'd be of great use … "So …"

"It's of great use!? If I can conceive a child, what's the use of that child, sooner or later it'll have to be disposed of, you old fool, spoiling my plans. "

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Since the prince had already suspected Doctor Li's identity, she had to remove him as soon as possible. However, this way, her illness would be delayed.

However, if she could take the risk of having Doctor Li stay and ask him if he had the disease, how would she be able to stand up in the future? What was even more frightening was that if the prince suspected that she had been living in the palace for years, then even her own life would not be enough to overcome it. Perhaps, even the entire Jiang family would be buried along with her.

No, he couldn't risk his life and place the Jiang Clan in such a dangerous position because of a single Doctor Li. He had to kill him.

"There's no need to say anything else now. Hurry up and send someone to find Doctor Li and get rid of him secretly. Don't leave any traces behind, do you understand?" This time, if you do anything wrong again, don't come back to see me. "

Sun Yiyi's mother raised her head to look at the Jiang family, but she was immediately scared by the hostility on her face and lowered her head. She repeatedly said: "Yes, yes, this old servant will go handle it with someone!"

Sun Yiyi's mother had just sneaked out from the back door of the mansion when a figure followed her out the back door without a sound.

When she found the hoodlum in the city and went to Doctor Li's house, there was actually not a single person in the room. The bedroom was a mess, as if there were traces of someone struggling inside.

"This is bad!" Sun Yiyi's mother did not know what was going on, but her intuition told her that something bad was about to happen. She was afraid that the matter with the wangfei was going to get exposed, so she did not dare to go back to the palace. She sent off these local thugs and planned to return to her house outside the mansion to let the old man pack his luggage and quickly leave this dangerous place.

But as soon as Sun Yiyi and her mother stepped out of Doctor Li's house, they were stopped by several muscular men in front of the door.

"Speak, what did the Jiang Clan want you to do?" Prince Chen sat on a wide wooden chair. In the dark dungeon, only the flame illuminated one area. With this light, one could see that Sun Yiyi's mother's body was covered with scars, and her hair was messy.

"Old servant …" Old Slave... "Unjustified …"

Without waiting for Sun Yiyi's mother to finish speaking, Prince Chen moved his fingers, and the guard standing by the side whipped Sun Yiyi's mother again. Because of the pain, Sun Yiyi's mother trembled like a sieve.

"Think about it carefully. Since This King can get people to capture you, I have no intention of listening to your nonsense. Even if you don't think for yourself, you should think for your family."

Sun Yiyi's mother closed her eyes in despair. When they arrived at the dungeon, she didn't even hope for a chance to get out, so she clenched her teeth and persisted all the way until now just so that she could hear some news and come to save her, or let go of her family. If that was the case, then she would be dead, but now that the prince had already moved out her family, then she had no other choice.

When she opened her eyes once again, her eyes were already filled with death, "Prince, this old servant said everything, but I ask that you let this old servant's family go. They are innocent and do not know anything."

"That depends on your performance." Prince Chen narrowed his eyes, absent-mindedly turning the jade thumb ring in his hand. Originally, he had only been suspicious and wanted to swindle this mother of his. He hadn't thought that he would actually be able to swindle the truth out of her.

"That Doctor Li …" As for Doctor Li, he is the woman who was found by this old servant outside the residence. As his wife has the disease of cold, it is exceptionally difficult for her to become the son of a son, but she does not dare to let others know that it might harm her position in the residence. Thus, she has always asked this old servant to find a Chinese medicine outside the residence to treat her. "

"Even if the doctors outside the palace were to diagnose the illness, they would still send imperial doctors from the palace over every day. Why can't they tell that the princess is suffering from cold?"

Prince Chen glanced at his mother and calmly asked.

Sun Yiyi's mother pursed her lips, a trace of disdain flashing across her eyes. "This old servant doesn't know if those imperial physicians are truly capable, but this old servant knows that as long as wangfei gives them a little favor, they will be able to write a message saying that everything is fine."

"Oh ~ ~ is that so? What a bunch of useless people. Continue talking. "

She wanted to know how much he knew from his expression, and whether she could hide the most important part from him. At least this way, she would have a chance of survival, or else if the wangfei knew that she had revealed such an important secret, even if the wangfei was willing to let her go, the wangfei would take her life.

However, Prince Chen raised his eyebrows and that faint smile on his face, causing her to completely give up. She resigned herself to her fate and poured out everything she knew like beans poured out.

"Wangfei can't have children, but she's afraid that the other concubines in the mansion would have children before her, so she's afraid that if she makes a move on so many concubines, it might leak out instead, so …" Sun Yiyi's mother didn't dare to continue saying these words.

Prince Chen's heart sank as his mother said this. Originally, he was only guessing, but he didn't believe that his wife would have the guts to attack him. But now, in front of the truth, what else could he say?

"So you drugged me so that I wouldn't have children!" Prince Chen patted the chair handle, and the excessive force broke it.

Sun Yiyi's mother was shocked, but she did not dare to answer.

Prince Chen took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Tell me, when did this start?" "If you really drugged me without giving birth, then where did the child in Seventh Madame come from?"

At this moment, Prince Chen's face was starting to turn slightly green. This was the sign of burning his heart, and thinking about how his wife would do such a cruel thing to him for her own benefit, and also thinking about the possibility that the child he hoped for might be a bastard born of his own woman and another man, he was sitting here with a determined heart.

"From... Yue Xin would come to the imperial physician a day or two later to check her pulse, so she already knew about the cold condition at that time. Originally, the imperial concubine didn't want to drug the princess, but the princess hadn't seen her in pregnancy for a long time, so she slowly began to favor the concubine in the backyard. Several of the concubines had personally treated her, so … That's why Princess Hua-Yang's thoughts were wrong at the moment. "

Sun Yiyi's mother stole a glance at Prince Chen's expression and saw that he was clenching his teeth so hard that he wanted to tear himself apart. She quickly lowered her head and said in an urgent voice, "Actually, even you are in love with the prince, so the weight of this medicine isn't that high, so as long as you slowly break the dosage and add on some more antidotes, the prince can still have a son. Seventh Madame, Seventh Madame's child came by just like that, afraid that the cold in her palace won't heal, and worried that the prince really won't have a heir."

"Humph!" "Only she knows whether she's worried that I won't have a chance or that Seventh Madame's status is low and won't pose a threat to her."

Seeing Sun Yiyi's mother kneeling on the ground, not daring to answer, he opened his mouth and asked: "Since Seventh Madame has already stopped serving this prince, why haven't the other concubines in the backyard heard any news of a pregnancy after so long?"

"Yes …" "After Seventh Madame got pregnant, esteemed wangfei once again …" At this point, Sun Yige's mother did not dare to continue, but the underlying meaning of her words was enough for Prince Chen to understand the truth.

"She's quite good at scheming. This prince thinks that she is extremely careful with her meals. How did she drug This King, and by whom?"

"The prince carries a scented sachet that was personally sewn by the princess. In addition, the incense in the prince's study was also personally made by the princess herself."

"So that's how it is. She really meant it. To think that I thought she was such a virtuous and virtuous woman, but in the end I actually ended up falling in the hands of my own wangfei, delaying the reproduction of my son for so many years. Good, good, the Jiang family is easy to raise, they have raised such a wicked woman!" Instead of getting angry, Prince Chen laughed, but the meaning in his words made people shudder.

She knew that since she had told him about the secrets of the Prince's Mansion today, she would definitely have no way of surviving. She only hoped that the Prince would spare her family's lives on account of her honesty, but now, no matter what, she didn't dare open her mouth to plead on behalf of her family. She was afraid that the Prince would be so angry that he would immediately order her to capture them.

"Back then, for the Jiang Clan to be able to smoothly carry out their plan, I'm afraid this servant of yours must have contributed quite a bit, no?" Although Prince Chen's words were a question, the meaning was very clear.

Mama Chen did not dare to lie and could only obediently nod her head, but she immediately replied, "Please spare me, Your Highness. I am only listening to your orders, I beg Your Highness to spare me."
