At this moment, Princess Ni Yang was extremely calm.

The conviction in her heart was extremely firm. No matter what Yu Niaoniao said, it could not shake her at all.

She looked down at Yu Niaoniao, who was locked in the water prison.

Her gaze was no longer as gentle as before. It was as cold as ice.

"Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm leaving."

Yu Niaoniao knew that if she left, she would never return, and she would be trapped in this dark water prison.

Yu Niaoniao hurriedly shouted.

"I have another question!"

Princess Ni Yang asked, "What question?"

Yu Niaoniao said, "Back then, you threw Xiao Juan into a cage and forced him to fight the beasts. Did you really want him to die back then?"

She still could not believe that a mother would want to kill her son for no reason.

Princess Ni Yang seemed to be recalling something from a long time ago, and her gaze became a little distant.

After a long moment, she spoke.

"Actually, I didn't want to kill him. I just wanted to do a test."

"I wanted to see how strong his survival instincts and adaptability were when he was in a desperate situation."

"As it turned out, he was even more outstanding than I had expected."

"Are you going to ask what's the point of doing this test?"

"Of course, it meant something. I finally gave birth to him after ten months of pregnancy. He has an extraordinary value to me."

Yu Niaoniao keenly caught the keyword. "Value?"

To think a mother would actually use a word like "value" to measure her child.

However, Princess Ni Yang felt that it was only right.

"If I keep Ah Juan by my side to raise him, Brother will definitely be worried."

"He would think of ways to plant people in Western Liang. This was not conducive to the implementation of my plan. " "The best way is to send Ah Juan away."

Realization dawned on Yu Niaoniao.

"You deliberately abused Xiao Juan to make outsiders think that you wanted to kill your son. The emperor and the empress dowager believed it and sent someone to bring Xiao Juan to the Imperial Capital."

"After Xiao Juan left, only you were left. At that time, the emperor was still young and not as suspicious as he was now. He relaxed the surveillance of Liangzhou, and that's what you wanted."

Princess Ni Yang said slowly.

"That's right. Ah Juan is indeed a smart child. Not long after he arrived in the

Imperial Capital, my brother discovered his talent."

"He had obtained my brother's trust step by step and climbed to his current position. I had originally thought that when Juan returned this time, I would lay my cards on the table and let him join my camp."

"This way, I would be like a tiger with wings and have a higher chance of winning."

"He is my only son. I was already infertile and would have no other children in the future. If I become emperor, the future throne would definitely pass to him."
