In her previous life, Chu Jiuning married into the Duke of Song's Estate with tens of millions in family assets. Just as the wedding ceremony was about to begin, the Duke of Song's heir sud...
Chapter 109: Scared to death
The prince's words were sharp and fierce.
Even disobedience!
The emperor's face instantly became extremely gloomy, his eyes overflowing with murderous intent. He stared at the prince fiercely and finally spoke out what was in his heart?
He has been eyeing this position for a long time, right?
The chief eunuch, Eunuch Yu, was so frightened that his eyelids twitched and he almost fainted.
He knew that His Highness was domineering and cruel, but he never expected that he would be so arrogant in front of the Emperor.
If the emperor gets angry.
If he is charged with treason, His Highness's life may be in danger.
The prince met the emperor's angry eyes calmly and bowed to him.
"Father is also angry and finds it hard to accept, right?"
The emperor was shocked when being questioned by the prince. In his impression, the prince in front of him was sickly and cold. In order to prevent him, he did not even force the prince to get married.
But since when did the prince in front of him become more and more aggressive?
Flick the long sleeves.
The emperor turned around with a sullen face and returned to the main seat.
"This is different. I am the ruler of the world. My words are imperial decrees. Prince, you should know that for what you just said, I can punish you for treason."
The prince nodded.
"Your Majesty, I was only speaking as an analogy, putting myself in your shoes. Even if you are the ruler of the world, your people are like this endless ocean. Without them, even the smallest ship would have difficulty sailing on the sea. Your Majesty, I hope you will revoke your order."
"The imperial edict has been issued. I'm afraid it will be too late once we enter the Song Mansion."
There was a hint of provocation in the emperor's eyes.
Today, Song Jinhuai will be brought into the palace to restore his status as His Highness. In fact, Song Jinhuai is one year older than him.
Chu Jiuning listened with a cold face, her long eyelashes flickering slightly. He was acting like a rogue.
Eunuch Chen is here.
The imperial edict will not enter the Song Mansion for the time being.
"Your Majesty, I have another piece of evidence. Your Majesty must see and hear it."
Old Master Chu stepped forward and knelt before the emperor. The emperor then took a closer look at Old Master Chu, staring at him. The more he looked, the more familiar he looked. Finally, his expression changed drastically.
It's him!
It was him.
Old Master Chu also knew that the emperor probably recognized him, so he looked calm and respectful.
Chu Jiuning's eyes moved between the two of them, and she felt a little strange in her heart. Is there something going on here?
The emperor seemed to know grandpa, and grandpa obviously knew it too.
"Your Majesty, this evidence is extremely important to you."
Seeing that Old Master Chu insisted like this, the emperor scolded him angrily.
"Who allowed you into the palace? Didn't I say that people with the surname Chu are not allowed to enter the palace? You are deliberately disobeying me. I will punish you."
Said.
The emperor pointed at Old Master Chu.
"Give me fifty strokes of the cane, throw me out, and I'll never be allowed to set foot in the palace again."
The palace maids rushed in.
The Crown Prince and Chu Jiuning had gloomy expressions on their faces, and they stood guard on both sides of Old Master Chu.
"Is your Majesty Father afraid to see the main piece of evidence? If I hurt Old Master Chu and the Empress Dowager asks about it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."
Let’s not talk about the Empress Dowager for now. When the assassination happened, the scene was chaotic and some things don’t stand up to scrutiny.
The emperor looked coldly at the increasingly uncontrollable prince in front of him. He was so angry that his teeth were about to grit his teeth. He raised his hand to grab the cup and was about to throw it at the prince, but when he raised his eyes and saw the historian behind the curtain, he swallowed his anger again.
soon.
An old figure was helped in.
More than just old.
Still hunched over, he relied on a crutch and moved forward bit by bit with difficulty.
because.
She was missing a hand and a foot.
Her disheveled hair obscured her original appearance, but even if it was cleaned up, her face looked so old that it was hard to tell what she looked like before.
"Who is this?"
The emperor was somewhat surprised that a person could fall to such a state.
Chu Jiuning stepped forward to support her. The old woman was weak and had difficulty moving. She was already exhausted after walking into the inner hall. Chu Jiuning let her lean on him, and the old woman then spoke in a hoarse voice.
"I greet the emperor. My name is Yueya, and I used to be Madam Song's personal maid."
Moon bud?
The emperor was stunned. This name sounded so familiar.
then.
When he was with Madam Song, the one serving him seemed to be a maid named Yueya. However, that maid was petite and smart, so how could she look so dirty, old and ugly today?
"How did you get into this?"
Following Madam Song, no matter how bad it is, it won’t be like this.
Looking at the emperor's shocked expression, Yueya knew that the emperor remembered her, and tears fell down in excitement.
She held on to her crutches tightly and tried to take a few steps forward, but every step was excruciatingly painful.
Her vision kept going dark, and she felt like she was going to faint at any moment, but she couldn't, she couldn't fall down.
This day.
She waited for many years.
If it weren't for this overwhelming hatred, how could she have managed to survive to this day?
"Your Majesty, do you really think that it was Madam Song who saved you during the assassination attempt?"
The emperor frowned.
"Isn't it?"
It was indeed Madam Song who rushed in front of him and blocked the knife for him. What did the old woman mean by saying this now?
Yueya's hands began to tremble violently.
Shivering.
Reaching out and touching his clothes.
The emperor looked puzzled, but the prince remained calm. The emperor frowned, not looking at Yueya, but patiently watched what she was going to do.
until.
Yueya untied her belt, revealing her skinny body and the scars from being stabbed by the sword.
"Your Majesty, please look at me."
Yue Yaer's tone was full of pleading. The emperor turned his head to look at her skinny body, but his face changed drastically when he saw the scar.
"That assassin was a gangster she hired at great expense. I look like her, and my build is similar. That's why Madam Song left the banquet midway and I took over. When the assassination took place, the scene was in chaos. Even though I saved the Emperor, no one came to check on me immediately. By the time I was sent to the inner hall, Madam Song was already waiting there. She also bribed the imperial physician, and she made a fake look real."
"That's impossible."
The emperor's eyes turned red after hearing these words. He waved his long sleeves and stood up.
How is this possible?
She was just a little girl, but she could design such a perfect plan and successfully live in her heart for twenty years.
even.
He also had a son with Mrs. Song.
But now.
But the maid said.
That was all arranged by Mrs. Song, and she also bribed the killer.
The maid in front of her was just a part of her plan, just a part of the show. All of this was their conspiracy.
"Later, fearing the truth would be exposed, she executed everyone who knew about it. She had the common people's arms and legs chopped off. I fled for five years, hiding from place to place. In the end, my face was disfigured, my hair was unkempt, and I had to beg on the street to survive."
The emperor sat in his chair in a daze, veins bulging on his forehead.
No wonder he wanted to change her dressing himself, but she said it was ugly and she didn't want him to see it.
