In her previous life, Shen Ningyuan was deeply devoted to her husband. Not only did she willingly live as a widow for him, but she also used her dowry to support his family.
However, in retur...
Chapter 295: Swear to Heaven
Xie Yumin looked at Ji Yunchuan with a cold gaze, sizing him up for a long time before speaking slowly.
"What secret is it? Tell me! Can you make up for it?"
The voice was calm and gentle, but it gave people a sense of cruelty for some reason.
It seems to be saying that the information you provided is not very important, but you have to pay a price for it!
Ji Yunchuan miraculously understood what he meant and swallowed hard.
The tip of his tongue pressed hard against his back teeth, and his mind was full of thoughts.
Quickly organizing the words in my mind.
In fact, according to his original intention, he did not want to tell Xie Yuming about Xie Wanzhou's secret in advance.
This is his trump card.
If used properly, you can even kill Xie Wanzhou.
But now, in order to calm Xie Yumin down, Ji Yunchuan had no choice but to resort to such a bad strategy.
Ji Yunchuan quickly calculated the gains and losses in his mind, and then spoke solemnly.
"Your Highness, what I want to talk about is the matter of the deposed Crown Prince Xie Wanzhou."
Xie Yuming's curiosity was originally aroused, and after hearing this, he burst out laughing.
The cold and sticky gaze lingered on his face.
Ji Yunchuan felt inexplicably uncomfortable being stared at by him and twisted his body uneasily.
He stuttered and asked, "Your Highness, why are you looking at me like this? Is there something wrong with me?"
Xie Yumin's expression darkened instantly. He slapped the table hard and snorted coldly.
"Ji Yunchuan, are you really treating me like a fool? Have you forgotten who your master is? You dare to fool me with such words, I think you are tired of living!"
Faced with such a rebuke, Ji Yunchuan felt panic-stricken.
But the scene of that day and night inevitably emerged in my mind.
Xie Wanzhou's legs were clearly fine, but he still pretended to be disabled.
It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no conspiracy here.
Ji Yunchuan closed his eyes tightly, as if he had made an important decision.
"Your Highness, what I want to say is that the abandoned Crown Prince Xie Wanzhou is a healthy man. That day when I was in the Marquis' Mansion..."
Ji Yunchuan told him everything he had seen that day.
The words are sincere.
It makes it impossible to see any falsehood.
Xie Yumin, who was originally sitting in a casual posture, unconsciously sat up straight after listening to his narration, and his face became even more tense.
An extremely oppressive gaze fell on him.
It was as if I could see into the depths of his soul.
Ji Yunchuan tried hard to calm himself down, and kept reminding himself in his heart that every word he said was true and there was no fiction in it.
There is no need to feel guilty.
Xie Yumin suppressed the dark light in his eyes and said in a clear voice, "Is what you said true?"
For some reason, Ji Yunchuan heard a hint of murderous intent in his words.
He nodded vigorously, then raised his finger and swore to the sky.
"If I say even a word that is false, may the lightning strike me and I shall die a miserable death, and I shall never be able to be reborn!"
This oath is truly vicious!
Xie Yumin didn't say he believed it, nor did he say he didn't believe it.
Her eyelids were slightly lowered, hiding all the gloom in her eyes.
Ji Yunchuan naturally couldn't see clearly, and from the expression on his face, he also didn't know what he was thinking.
I could only stand there obediently, motionless, and wait for his decision.
After Xie Yumin pondered for a moment, he slowly raised his eyes, played with the teacup in his hand, and said lightly.
"Then you should analyze why he did this?"
The reason for such doubt is that Xie Wanzhou has been very low-key over the years, and has stayed indoors in his mansion, like an invisible man in the capital.
Although he was once the high and mighty Crown Prince who commanded the respect of everyone.
But things are different now. Xie Wanzhou had long been deposed from the position of crown prince and was just a disabled useless person.
Even if what Ji Yunchuan said was true, Xie Wanzhou was a badass, critically ill and disabled, but why had he been pretending for so many years?
Could it be that Xie Wanzhou did something else behind the scenes?
Or, did Xie Wanzhou pretend to be disabled and useless just to save his life?
Xie Yumin had too many questions in his mind.
Moreover, it was impossible for him to believe Ji Yunchuan's one-sided words.
It is necessary to verify it.
Xie Yumin had also tried to test Xie Wanzhou before, but did not find anything abnormal.
It is indeed disabled.
Xie Yuming investigated everyone, including the person who treated his leg disease and the servants who served him.
Xie Yuming looked at Ji Yunchuan deeply and said in a warning tone.
"If I find out that you lied to me, you should know the consequences!"
Ji Yunchuan was busy expressing his loyalty, "Your Highness, I am loyal to you and have no second thoughts. If I have said even a single lie, I will end it myself without your order."
I have heard these words countless times before.
Xie Yumin was not at all touched by this.
Just nodded lightly.
Then, he called out to the door.
"Qingshu, come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man who opened the door just now walked in.
He came before Xie Yumin, bowed respectfully and asked.
"Your Highness, do you have any instructions?"
Xie Yumin waved to him.
Qingshu came to his side, lowered his head slightly, and leaned over.
Xie Yumin whispered something in his ear. Qingshu frowned tightly and asked with a little confusion.
"Master, we have tried it several times before, but we didn't notice anything unusual. Is there any problem?"
Xie Yumin chuckled, "Let's check it out again!"
Their previous investigation had been going on for several years.
No one can guarantee whether Xie Wanzhou will have other adventures during these years?
What if this is cured?
Xie Wanzhou is such a brilliant person, a favored child of heaven.
If such a person is really completely useless, then there is no need to worry.
The scary thing is that everything is just his disguise.
It’s better to investigate it thoroughly.
Qingshu took the order and left.
But before leaving, he took a special look at Ji Yunchuan.
After all, as soon as Ji Yunchuan arrived, his master asked him to investigate Xie Wanzhou.
It is absolutely impossible to say that this matter has nothing to do with Ji Yunchuan.
If this is true, Ji Yunchuan must have made a great contribution.
vice versa.
After everyone left, Xie Yumin curled his lips slightly and nodded to him.
"What are you standing there for? Come and sit down!"
Ji Yunchuan was stunned by the sudden and kind attitude.
Cautiously, she pulled out a chair and sat opposite him.
"Your Highness, I was wandering outside the city a few days ago and heard some news about the An Ning Marquis' Mansion. I wonder if the news is reliable?"
If it wasn't for the sake of his life, Ji Yunchuan would have headed straight for Marquis An Ning's Mansion the moment he entered the city.
But after all, I was a little scared, thinking that someone had deliberately spread the rumor.
And that person was naturally Shen Ningyuan.
