Chapter 713: 713 Behind the Scenes Mastermind
The entire dungeon was filled with the stench of blood and the wailing of maidservants.
Prince Jing walked to where Princess Consort Bai was imprisoned and said directly, “You can leave now, and you must not reveal anything about tonight’s event to anyone.”
“Yes, yes, this lowly concubine will obey Your Highness’s orders, I will clench my teeth and not let a single word slip.” Today’s events had given Princess Consort Bai such a shock that she had no thoughts of vying for favor, only a desire to quickly escape this terrifying hell.
After leaving the dungeon, Prince Jing went straight to the courtyard where Princess Consort Bai resided.
Princess Consort Bai was a delicate and gentle woman, but Prince Jing never dared to underestimate such a woman.
Even the Princess Consort, who always seed foolish in his eyes, could do sothing so unbelievable; let alone these won, ticulously grood by prominent families to solidify their status!
It was late at night by then, and Princess Consort Bai was already lying in bed, sleeping peacefully. Prince Jing did not disturb anyone else and leaped in through the window. He walked over, looked at the sleeping woman on the bed for a long ti, and then left in irritation.
Princess Consort Bai was a clever woman, and at such a ti, even Princess Consort Bai knew it was not a good ti to act rashly; how could she be foolish?
Yet, that maid servant, even to save her mother and brother, should have not lied.
Moreover, a woman from the inner court who managed to send soone out to capture people must have certainly had contact with the outside world, as in the Royal Residence, no one but himself, not even the Princess Consort, had the authority to command the guards.
He and the Princess Consort had returned to the capital just a few days ago, and the scher behind the scenes must also have made their arrangents within these days, a short ti fra which made it easier to investigate.
Prince Jing ordered the investigation to continue, focusing mainly on who Princess Consort Bai had recently been in contact with, and who exactly had taken the maid’s mother and brother.
These affairs, once executed, would leave traces; if there were any clues, he could uncover them.
Just like the midwife who had delivered Mrs. He years ago – even though she had been dead for over a decade, he could still uncover everything about the past if he pursued it.
However, the more he knew, the more pain he would feel.
And Mrs. Mo, as well as her maternal and paternal families from the Mo Family, all those people, whether or not they were implicated in this affair, would have to pay a bloody price.
When all the truth was finally uncovered two days later, the outco was sothing Prince Jing could not accept.
Because, the mastermind behind the poisoning of the Princess Consort turned out to be the Crown Prince Residence!
Princess Consort Bai was a natural sister of the Crown Princess Consort and had beco his concubine partly because of the Crown Princess Consort’s ntion in front of the Empress Dowager.
The Crown Prince, his own brother born of the sa mother, was also one of the people he trusted the most and held nothing back from.
He truly did not want to suspect his own brother, but as for the Crown Princess Consort acting out of jealousy for Princess Consort Bai, a re natural sister didn’t justify such an extent.
After all, Princess Consort Bai, despite being the sister of the Crown Princess Consort and born out of wedlock, did not qualify for the position of a Princess Consort.
If it was the Crown Princess Consort’s own doing, it seed she had no reason to act, after all, regardless of what happened behind the scenes between the Princess Consort and the Crown Princess Consort, because he and the Crown Prince always acted in accord, at least ostensibly they appeared amicable.
Moreover, the most crucial part was that the person who had taken the maid’s mother and brother was a trusted individual close to the Crown Prince!
