The father and son gathered upstairs, as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Obeying the summons to the palace, it’s absolutely impossible to come back safely. Defying the order and not going, even after living in fear all these years, Prince Rong’s Mansion still doesn’t have the power to go against the emperor! Hearing footsteps coming upstairs, Yang Zhan panicked: "How did the palace find out? How did this news get out?" Just as he finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang and Fu Zhen came up one after the other. Seeing Fu Zhen, Yang Zhan turned pale: "What are you doing here?!" Fu Zhen’s face darkened: "Of course, I’ve come to urge you to go to the palace and meet your doom!" Before Yang Zhan could retaliate, Mrs. Zhang raised a hand to stop him: "Did you really kill the Grand Heir?!" Yang Zhan’s hand trembled, and he stepped back half a step, glanced at Prince Rong, and replied: "How do they all know?" Prince Rong walked towards Fu Zhen, scanning her with a complex gaze: "Did you enter the palace to inform on us?" Fu Zhen said: "Prince, those who do evil deeds will ultimately meet their downfall; the vile things you’ve done will be exposed sooner or later!" Prince Rong gritted his teeth: "What grudge do I have with you?!" "You’re mistaken," Fu Zhen smiled slightly, "it’s not us who have a grudge against you, it’s Xu Yin." Fresh chapters posted on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽 She displayed two pills in her hand: "A quarter of an hour ago, your good son-in-law tricked your grandson into bringing these two pills over, intending to use your blood ties to feed them to you." The two scarlet pills on the table instantly pierced the eyes of those present. Prince Rong’s facial muscles twitched: "He actually used a child?... Why would he do such a thing!" "It’s simple, he wants to get rid of you to pledge allegiance to the true culprit behind your murder orders." Prince Rong’s expression changed immediately: "It’s the Cr..." The word was about to come out, but he bit his tongue and swallowed the words back! Yet those words were like thorns, scraping his throat and intestines all the way, making his whole body feel as if it were on fire! "So the worst has indeed happened!" he muttered, "No wonder he behaved so erratically before; it turns out he has long harbored the intention to destroy Prince Rong’s Mansion!" "Father!" Yang Zhan shouted, "Since there’s no other way out, we might as well take the plunge and acknowledge whoever assigned us our tasks! "As long as we confess, Xu Yin won’t be safe either!" Prince Rong clenched his fists and slammed them on the table: "Fine! In that case, let’s all go to the palace and fight to the death!" With that, he was about to stride out the door. Fu Zhen stepped forward: "Hold on!" Prince Rong gritted his teeth: "What do you intend to do?" Fu Zhen looked deeply at them: "Do you have evidence to prove there’s an accomplice behind it?" Yang Zhan said: "No, it’s long gone! All lost!" "Exactly!" Fu Zhen said, "Without evidence, even if you reveal the truth, it would not serve as proof. On the contrary, it will become a handle for the other side! "Xu Yin is adept at twisting the truth; going there is to court death!" "Then tell us what should be done!" Fu Zhen picked up the two pills: "The Emperor has also sent someone to summon him to the palace just now. At this crucial moment, he still orders his innocent child to poison you, showing he’s at a dead end, with no better options but to do it. "It would be better for the Princely Heir’s consort to spread a false message, claiming you have already taken the poison." Prince Rong frowned: "What use is that? Why should I listen to you?" "In his panic, Xu Yin took a risky move, which means he desperately needs this result. So, what will he do once he gets this result? Wouldn’t you want to know? "Of course, you can choose not to listen to me because I didn’t intend to help you elude guilt. You can’t escape guilt anyway. "But if you take my advice, Xu Yin and that person are bound to reveal themselves. After silencing you, theoretically, there’s only one path left for them!" Prince Rong and his son looked at each other in silence. Beside them, Mrs. Zhang couldn’t hold back anymore: "What’s there to hesitate about? If there’s even a chance to clear yourself, why not take it? Are you really going to cover up for the Crown Prince to the end and be willing to let the Emperor execute your entire clan?!" The moment the words "Crown Prince" were spoken, it was as if the thin layer of paper was completely pierced, and the words "execute your entire clan" shocked Prince Rong and his son to their cores! In an instant, the two of them were like kites with broken strings, slumping wearily. "How can it still be timely?" Prince Yi slumped into a chair, "Even if this works, I still have to go to the palace. If I don’t go now, it’s defying the order!" "It’s still timely!" Fu Zhen gazed coldly downstairs, "Does Xu Yin really care whether this outcome is real or fake? Not necessarily. What he wants is the result that comes after he gets this result. "The person named Lian rushed out earlier; by counting the time, Xu is likely already in the palace now. "I’ve intercepted your little grandson, and this place is sealed off, so no one knows whether you’re alive or dead right now. "As long as the news of your poisoning reaches their ears before you enter the palace, it will be enough to set off the subsequent chain of events!"
