Late at night, several strong palace eunuchs carried a warm sedan chair, passed through the endless palaces and palace gardens, and arrived at the Taimiao.
Prince Ning was still in a side hall used for daily worship by the royal family, burning incense and praying devoutly, praying for the ancestors to show their spirits and protect him to overcome the difficulties as soon as possible. Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw a cloaked figure standing outside the hall. He recognized the person and hurriedly went to greet him.
Xuyu called out "Uncle Emperor" and bowed.
In just one or two days, Old Wang, who had always been leisurely, now looked haggard and exhausted.
"Princess, are you awake? How is your injury? Why are you here so late at night?"
Prince Ning looked at her and saw that except for her pale face and a lack of blood, her spirit seemed to be almost the same as before, and he finally showed some joy.
Xuyu nodded with a smile, explained a few words, went inside, picked up incense and bowed to the gods in the hall one by one, and finally inserted the incense into the furnace.
Prince Ning was waiting for her to finish her worship. He was worried that she would not be able to bear it. He was about to escort her out of the temple personally when he heard her say, "Uncle Emperor, you should know the truth about the battle of Beiyuan."
Prince Ning was startled.
Xu Yu continued: "The prince consort broke into the forbidden palace at night, and Aye said in front of the prince consort that he was the mastermind..."
She suppressed the uncontrollable sadness that surged in her heart, paused, calmed down her emotions, and continued, "To be honest, at first when I knew that my husband was investigating the past, I didn't believe that my father-in-law would do such a thing. It was because I was my father-in-law's daughter that I felt that although he was fierce and ruthless, he had his own rules and shouldn't be that kind of person. Later, more and more signs and testimonies pointed to my father-in-law, not to mention my husband-in-law, I also began to doubt him. But after the night before, I had another feeling."
"I asked Zhao Bandang to tell me about the meeting between Aye and the Prince Consort, and every word they said. I always felt that Aye seemed to be hiding something else."
"You know Aye's character, Uncle Emperor. If he doesn't want to talk about something, no matter how many questions you ask, he won't tell you. He was always vague about this matter in front of me before, and never said a word more. Now that he has admitted it, even if I ask him again, even if there is really something else hidden, he will definitely not change his words."
"Uncle Emperor, you are Aye's trusted brother. When he was still Prince Ding, you collected food and grass for him. You are Aye's strongest support and his right-hand man. You should know the inside story."
"My father was closely related to the death of General Shenhu. I know this, but what else did he hide? Who is he protecting?"
Prince Ning frowned slightly, looking distressed, his eyes dodging: "It's really late, the princess's health is important, let's go, uncle will take you back to the palace-"
As he spoke, he turned and hurried out.
Xuyu caught up and in the corridor outside the hall, she fell to her knees and knelt directly on the cold ground.
"Uncle Emperor! You must know! Please tell me!"
Prince Ning looked back and hurried back to help her up, "Princess, get up quickly! The ground is cold and wet, take care of yourself!"
"Uncle Emperor, this matter is extremely important to me, I beg you!" Xu Yu couldn't get up.
