The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 992

Chapter 992: 467 The Truth Comes to Light (Third Update)_3

Did he really issue the order to poison the two children from beneath the ground to the Dragon Shadow Guard?

How did he do it?

In a dream?

Wait, there’s one person who wasn’t an imperial guard of the late emperor.

Long Yi.

This thought had just flashed across Princess Xinyang’s mind when she dismissed it. Long Yi had been sent by her to quell the unrest at Fengdu Mountain at that time. He didn’t return until Xiao Hen was nearly a month old.

He simply had no opportunity to commit the crime.

So, was it really the other four Dragon Shadow Guards who did it?

But she couldn’t figure it out. She had never issued an order to poison the two children, and the late emperor would have never done so... If there isn’t a third person who could also command them, did the late emperor really crawl out from under his coffin board?

It couldn’t be that the late emperor, before his demise, had ordered them to plot against her and Marquis Xuanping’s son, especially when the late emperor clearly knew she and Marquis Xuanping could never have children––––

Her train of thought came to an abrupt halt!

Princess Xinyang was stunned.

She seemed to have inadvertently understood something.

Marquis Xuanping was young at that time, but the late emperor saw his potential. He was the youngest military marquis of Zhan Country, personally conferred by the late emperor, who valued him as if he were his own left arm and right arm.

Yet beneath the late emperor’s favor was a solid defense against Marquis Xuanping.

The late emperor had covertly arranged her marriage to Marquis Xuanping. So why covertly? It was because if the late emperor could live longer, he planned to personally kill Marquis Xuanping. If he died early, then it would be up to her to kill Marquis Xuanping.

But at the same time, the late emperor also realized that Zhan Country was as fragile as a pile of eggs — it couldn’t do without Marquis Xuanping for a moment.

So the late emperor decided to use Marquis Xuanping to the greatest extent. As long as he didn’t rebel, he could live; the moment he harbored a rebellious heart, he would be executed immediately!

However, Marquis Xuanping was extremely vigilant, and ordinary assassins could not get close to him. Then the late emperor came up with the idea of a beauty trap.
