When everyone heard this, they looked at Imperial Duke Zhan with surprise.

Imperial Duke Zhan had always been an easy-going person. Although he had a bad temper, he rarely got into a dispute with others unless someone had provoked his wife.

Today, he changed his usual attitude and spoke up for the prince regnt, which was really surprising.

Zhan Liuye and Madam Qiao also stood up and saluted along with Imperial Duke Zhan, using their actions to express their thoughts.

Only they themselves knew how great of an impact the scene earlier had on them. They even thought that Gu Qingxue would be dragged into this.

Everyone’s hearts were at their throats, and they were still afraid even now.

Gu Qingxue was a member of Imperial Duke Zhan’s family. Imperial Duke Zhan was not interested in any power struggles. There was only one rule, and that was that they must never bully their family!

Since Gu Qingxue was involved in today’s incident, they had to find the real murderer no matter what!

Rong Xiaotian was also surprised by the Duke of war’s firm attitude. He looked at the Duke of war’s family and comforted them, “As expected, Imperial Duke Zhan knows my thoughts the best. Rest assured, Imperial Duke Zhan, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and not give those people any chance to commit evil.’

“Many thanks, Your Majesty.” Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Imperial Duke Zhan led Madam Qiao and Zhan Liuye to sit down.

The empress was anxious when she saw this scene and hurriedly looked at the Rong Han.

However, Rong Han kept his head down in silence and did not even look at the empress. The empress was filled with anxiety, but she could not speak. She could only nervously look at Nanny Bi Zhu. “Isn’t the prince regent fine? Doctor Gu e s medical skills are brilliant, it’s impossible that she can’t even deal with a small poisonous bug.”

Granny Bi Zhu was the empress dowager’s favorite and had come on behalf of the empress dowager, so her words naturally carried weight. “The empress’ words are wrong. According to what this old servant knows, if it wasn’t for the prince regent’s strong body and Doctor Gu e s timely removal of the poisonous insect in his body, I’m afraid His Highness would not have been able to make it. However, Your Majesty can rest assured that His Royal Highness’ condition is stable for the time being, but the poison in his body has yet to be removed. Because Doctor Gu has to take care of His Royal Highness’s body, she can not personally come to report. The empress dowager has ordered this old servant to come and take the thirteenth princess away and ask her about the cause and effect of the thirteenth princess’s incident. She wants to see if she can find the person behind the scenes and help His Highness remove the poison from his body.”

“I, I don’t want to be interrogated! Sob, sob, I didn’t do it on purpose. I don’t know anything. Mother, please save me, I’m scared!” The thirteenth princess was soon in tears. Her eyes were filled with tears that rolled down like beads from a broken string.

“Your Majesty, Lil t Thirteen is still young. She must have been used by someone this time! Besides, she’s so terrified, how can she be questioned again? She’s a princess.” The empress had placed her last hope on Rong

Xiaotian.

However, after Rong Xiaotian heard this, he only glanced at the empress with a cold and indifferent gaze.

The empress’s heart immediately turned cold. She wanted to speak, but the fear in her heart made her unable to open her mouth.

“The empress’ heart ached for Lil e Thirteen, and so l. However, it is precisely because she is my princess that 1 have to reveal the truth as soon as possible and draw a clear line between her and the real mastermind. Naturally, Lil t Thirteen was used by others, so it’s excusable. Let the great judge take charge of this matter, and the nanny will assist in the inquiry.” Rong Xiaotian’s words were undeniable, and he no longer gave the empress any chance to refuse..
