Chapter 156 The Late Ning Xianjun
As if she sensed the bloodthirsty and murderous aura of the person in front of her, the old woman was so frightened that she spoke quickly.
"The second... the second young master is also willing. He... he said that in order to repay the general for saving his life, he is willing... willing to enter the palace in place of the eldest young master."
"Clap~"
The porcelain cup in her hand broke into two pieces. The old woman was so scared that her eyes widened and her legs went weak.
Di Ran's cold and sharp gaze fell on the old woman: "What's his name?"
The old woman trembled and said, "Originally... originally his name was Yuanbao. Later, the general named him Ning... Ning Feige."
Di Ran's eyes were cold and gloomy: "Ning Feige?"
When Di Yi heard the name, he was slightly startled and looked at Di Ran: "Master..."
Di Ran gave her a disapproving look, side-glanced at the old woman, and said coldly.
“Women go down!”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi stepped forward, knocked the old woman unconscious and took her away.
Now that there were no outsiders behind him, Di Yi spoke slowly.
"Master, the current empress, the late Ning Xianjun, seems to be called Ning Feige."
Bai Qi came back with an angry look on his face, "Master, this general's mansion is so bold! They let the eldest son take their place in the palace for their own son. It's really abominable! Do you want me to teach them a lesson?"
They all knew who the eldest son was. He was the son of the master's uncle and also the master's cousin.
Over the years, the couple has been looking for the eldest son and asked their master to find him, but unfortunately they have found nothing.
Now that they have found her, they discover that she had been sent to the palace many years ago and is now dead.
This makes people so angry that they want to kill people!
Di Yi was not as impulsive as Bai Qi. He had a wooden face and spoke calmly and thoughtfully.
"Master, I feel that we cannot completely believe the old woman's one-sided words. As far as I know, the Protector of the Nation is a loyal and brave man with a kind temperament. He is not a selfish and narrow-minded person. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding here?"
"Misunderstand?"
Bai Qi snorted coldly: "Who knows if she is one thing in front of you and another behind your back? You haven't seen her in person, so how can you know her true face?"
Di Yi raised his head and looked at Di Ran: "Master~"
After hearing what Di Yi said, Di Ran calmed down a little. His deep eyes were filled with cold light and his expression was dark.
"I remember that Lord Ning Xian has a daughter?"
Bai Qi was slightly stunned, and responded respectfully: "My lord, I have investigated and found that Ning Xianjun died after giving birth to the fourth princess because of a difficult labor."
"The Fourth Princess is free and unrestrained by nature. She doesn't like the constraints of the palace, so she often travels around the world in casual clothes. She has been away from the capital for three years."
After Bai Qi finished speaking, Di Ran's cold and calm face showed no emotion, and he gently turned the jade ring.
After a while, he slowly opened his mouth.
"Please compile a detailed account of what happened before and after Ning Xianjun entered the palace and send it to me, especially what happened during his difficult labor. It would be best if you could find the midwife who delivered him that year."
The emperor was moved and frowned: "The master is suspicious of the death of the eldest son..." Is there something fishy?
Bai Qi on the side also widened his eyes: "No way, is there anyone who dares to be so bold as to do this to a pregnant man?"
Di Ran pursed his lips slightly, his eyes cold and cold: "There are endless ways to compete for favor in the harem. Who can guarantee that there will be no strange things during this period?"
"This……"
Bai Qi and Di Yi looked at each other.
Di Ran glanced coldly and said, "In short, find out for me whether Ning Xianjun's death was an accident or man-made. If it was man-made..."
Di Ran paused, narrowed his dark eyes, and spoke in a cold voice.
“The culprit must pay the price.”
"Yes!"
The atmosphere was slightly depressing.
Bai Qi thought of something else, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Di Ran.
"Master, I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it."
Di Ran's eyes were cold: "What's the matter?"
