Chapter 440 The Emperor is Still Alive

Song Wan'er looked at Jiang Hao subtly and couldn't help but said, "Jiang Hao, you are not..."

"Not what?"

Jiang Hao unconsciously became nervous when Song Wan'er looked at him like this.

He was afraid that Song Wan'er would see his feelings, but he was also afraid that she wouldn't be able to see it.

The mood is inevitably complicated.

"You're not... planning to take advantage of me again, are you?"

Song Wan'er suddenly changed her tone when the words came to her lips.

Although she had never had a love affair with anyone, she had read many storybooks and knew that a man would never be nice to a girl for no reason.

I will not remember her habits or pay attention to what she likes to eat.

If it were another man, Song Wan'er would definitely think that he was interested in her.

But the person doing this now is Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao is a guy who will not do anything without profit. He won't even look at anything that is not good for him.

Song Wan'er didn't dare to think that way. She would rather believe that Jiang Hao had other plans to avoid being deceived by him again.

Jiang Hao was both angry and amused when she changed the subject. "Yes, I was planning on you."

But this idea is different from that idea.

Seeing Jiang Hao admit it so quickly, Song Wan'er felt even more surprised.

"Now that Prince Chang'an has returned to the capital, he's about to ascend the throne. You're the future queen's most beloved sister. My future success in the capital depends on whether you're willing to speak well of me." Jiang Hao said, "I have no choice but to please you now."

"That's true."

Song Wan'er also felt that her future days would be very comfortable. She didn't think about whether Jiang Hao's words were true or false. As she walked in, she ordered the maids to help her bathe and change clothes. She complained in a low voice that she felt uncomfortable living in Prince Rui's Mansion these days and had wanted to come back for a long time.

Jinshu and Luo Shang hurriedly followed to serve.

Jiang Hao watched Song Wan'er and a group of maids walk away, and he watched them for a long time without taking his eyes off them.

Seeing this, Butler Liu couldn't help but say, "General, you should have taken this opportunity to express your feelings to Madam. The young lady was just rescued..."

"She doesn't need my help at all." Jiang Hao said, "She single-handedly turned the Rui Palace upside down. If I had gone any later, she would have held the Rui Princess hostage and forced everyone to leave the Rui Palace on their own."

Butler Liu was shocked. "Is this... Madam so powerful?"

Where is the Prince Rui's Mansion?

There were heavy guards and strict surveillance. Even those martial artists like them would not be able to escape if they fell into such a place. It was really amazing that a weak woman like Madam could hold Princess Rui hostage.

but……

Steward Liu, who was preoccupied with how the Madam could be so powerful, quickly regained his composure. "If the Madam can leave the Rui Palace on her own, the General should take this opportunity to express his feelings to her. Otherwise, when Princess Chang'an and the Patriarch of the Song family return to the capital, they will undoubtedly take the Madam back with them, and then you won't even be able to see her..."

When Jiang Hao heard this, his eyes instantly darkened.

When Song Wan'er first got married, she said that she would definitely divorce and return home, and she would do this and that when the time came.

Now has come the time she said.

Butler Liu kept talking beside him, and he became more and more anxious.

Jiang Hao became more and more upset as he listened. He interrupted Butler Liu and told them to take good care of the lady while he went back to the palace.

Butler Liu couldn't help but sigh. If Jiang Hao had used even a third of his scheming and cunning on his wife, she wouldn't have been unaware of his feelings at this point.

However, given the lady's personality, if the general were to use a strategy against her, it would most likely not work.

The fate between people is really hard to describe.

For now, we can only take one step at a time.

Song Wan'er was taking a pleasant bath in the mansion. After Jiang Hao entered the palace, he learned that the emperor's body was fake and that Prince Chang'an had ordered a notice to be posted to find the whereabouts of the emperor. He took the initiative to ask for permission to take people to the Xishan hunting ground to search again.

This winter, the snow fell for an unusually long time, making the mountain roads difficult to travel on, and the hunting grounds were always closed. Prince Rui had searched for the emperor for several days, but when he couldn't find him, he found a fake corpse to replace him. Now, according to Prince Chang'an's wishes, he would search again, regardless of the number of days.

After Huo Zheng returned to the capital, he released all the ministers who had been imprisoned by Huo Yang on false charges and sent imperial physicians to treat them.

The next day, Prince Chang'an took charge of government affairs and summoned all the ministers to the Council Hall to interrogate Huo Yang in the Golden Hall.

Liu Yan, Mu Qingshan and others were tortured in prison, but they still went to the palace with injuries to expose the crimes of Prince Rui Huo Yang.

Prime Minister Ji and others who had previously defected to King Rui were all held accountable.

The families of Grand Tutor Wang and others who had died tragically came to the palace to accuse Prince Rui, and everyone in the palace was filled with anger.

Huo Zheng and Queen Wang sat together on the Mingtai, listening to the ministers' endless discussions.

Huo Yang broke his leg and was seriously injured. He could not stand, but refused to kneel, so he sat paralyzed in the center of the Golden Palace.

The Prince Rui who used to wear brocade robes and jade belts has now become a bloodstained, unshaven and paralyzed man. Half of the people in the Golden Palace used to support his party, but now the Golden Palace is full of officials who accuse him of being unkind and unjust and of killing the king and his father.

Huo Yang looked at the scene in front of him and found it extremely ironic.

It was obvious that not long ago, he was the one sitting high on the throne, issuing orders, and was about to inherit the throne.

How come in the blink of an eye, he became a prisoner condemned by thousands of people?

Huo Yang looked up at Huo Zheng who was sitting on a high place. "Huo Zheng! You killed the emperor and your father, and you plotted to usurp the throne. Now you want to throw dirty water on me! Everyone in the court is yours now, so naturally they will obey your orders. You can kill me if you want, but you can't make me confess my guilt!"

Huo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Huo Yang, even at this point, you are still stubborn and refuse to change!"

"You hurt me, you hurt me!"

Huo Yang struggled to stand up, but was suppressed by the Xizhou army and could only sit on the ground and could not get up.

Queen Wang also thought that Huo Yang was still stubborn at this time. She asked Huo Yang, "Huo Yang, please don't make the same mistake again and bring trouble to Concubine Shu and your wife and children."

Huo Yang's eyes were red as he asked back, "Implicate them? If I lose, there's no way they'll survive. Are you going to let them go?"

Seeing that Huo Yang would rather die than destroy Huo Zheng's reputation and throw the dirty water of conspiracy to usurp the throne, regicide and patricide on him, the ministers in the hall were talking about it.

Huo Yang refused to give in, shouting, "Huo Zheng plotted to usurp the throne, murdered the emperor, and killed his father. I will defend my father's kingdom, and even though I'm defeated, it's an honor!"

"How dare you, a traitor and a traitor, accuse Prince Chang'an of plotting to usurp the throne?"

Shao Feiyang's loud voice came from outside the hall, and everyone looked over...

Shao Feiyang and Princess Ye Ninglan of Xiling were seen supporting the sick emperor on the left and right as they walked into the Golden Palace step by step.

"emperor……"

"emperor?"

Everyone in the hall was surprised to see the emperor suddenly appear, and shouted in surprise: "The emperor is still alive!"
