Chapter 352 Jiang Yuan's adoptive mother was killed
As for the poisoning of Princess Jiaxiang, I don’t know whether the eldest princess was also involved.
Zhu the butler and the Xilei delegation were imprisoned in the Honglu Temple prison.
Although the evidence pointed directly at them, Butler Zhu still refused to admit it and insisted that he had only put the deadly poison in the pastries and he was not aware of Jiaxiang's festering skin.
They came to Nanxin with a mission.
He was also ready to die.
Therefore, even though Deng Youning and Li Tianzhuo tried their best, they still claimed to know nothing about the poisonous fabric.
Nan Xin had to give Xi Lei an explanation for the death of Princess Jiaxiang.
Emperor Nan Xin had also sent a messenger to Xilei with the evidence that Steward Zhu and others were plotting to murder Jiaxiang.
The messenger has just set off today. It will take at least a month to get from Nanxinyun City to Xilei Imperial City.
Looking at Butler Zhu and others who were covered in wounds and beaten to death, Jiang Yu sighed helplessly.
They have been refusing to reveal who was behind the poisoned fabric incident, and we can't just stay in jail with them forever.
"Your Highness, Princess, it's getting late tonight. Why don't we try you tomorrow?" Jiang Yu suggested. "General Nangong and I will escort you back to the palace."
The prison was pitch dark, but even though he couldn't see what was happening outside, Li Tianzhuo knew it was already completely dark.
Everyone has been tired today, it's time to go back and rest.
"Nangong, Jiang Yu, you should all go home and rest. The prince and Princess Dongji can go back to the mansion on their own."
Knowing that they were all very tired, Li Tianzhuo naturally didn't want them to continue working overtime.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Deng Youning pulled him.
She whispered, "Jiang Siqing wants to send us back, not just to protect us."
She raised her eyebrows and silently said the three words "Han Xinxin" with her lips.
Li Tianzhuo understood what she meant instantly.
"Jiang Yu, Yuncheng has been in turmoil recently. I heard that you only have your foster mother and a servant in your family, and you don't even have a guard."
"Why don't you go back tonight and pack up with your mother, and move into the palace together tomorrow. Once this storm is over, you can move back home."
"After all, I sometimes need your assistance when investigating and trying cases at night."
In order to connect Jiang Yu and Han Xinxin, Li Tianzhuo and Deng Youning worked hard.
At first Jiang Yu was still thinking that he didn't dare to trouble the prince.
But when he saw Deng Youning winking at him mischievously, he immediately understood that this was an opportunity created for him by the prince and the princess.
The excitement on his face couldn't be stopped.
He quickly bowed to express his gratitude.
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness. I will move there with my family tomorrow morning. I apologize for disturbing you, Your Highness and Princess."
After feeling happy, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with what Li Tianzhuo had just said.
Feeling a little uneasy, he asked cautiously:
"How did Your Majesty know that my mother is my godmother?"
Li Tianzhuo spread his hands, thinking it was ridiculous, and asked, "What's going on in Nanxin Country? I want to know, is it okay?"
He is the crown prince after all.
"Besides, there is nothing worth hiding about your background. But the relative who occupied your shop and asked you to buy it back with your own money is a bit inhumane!"
"Although I don't like to meddle in my subjects' family affairs, if you are really interested in my cousin from the Han family, after we are done with this, we should also clear out those parasites in your Jiang family for her sake."
"This prince does not want my cousin to marry into a family with many weird relatives."
When saying these words, Li Tianzhuo did not have the slightest airs of a prince, he was just like an ordinary friend chatting with Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yuru seemed to be suddenly enlightened, and hurriedly bowed to Li Tianzhuo in shame.
He went home in high spirits.
Nangong also dragged his tired body back to his residence.
He has a family and has been traveling around with Li Tianzhuo during this period, doing some extremely dangerous tasks. His wife and children are extremely worried about him.
Compared to his own house which was brightly lit and bustling with people, Jiang Yu's house seemed particularly deserted.
He was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, a third-rank official, but he lived in a small courtyard and a tiled house with his old mother.
All the rooms of all the people in the house combined are not as big as the courtyard of a master in a large mansion.
There are only three or four tiled houses.
Moreover, because my adoptive mother lived in poverty in her early years, she developed the habit of lighting candles or using oil lamps.
It was late at night and no one in his house left a light on for him.
"Mom, Mo Chi, I'm back."
"Too many things happened today. Princess Jiaxiang from Xilei is dead!"
As he walked towards the main hall, he talked about his experiences of the day in a casual manner.
Although my mother is not my biological child, her love and care for me cannot be overwhelmed by the fifteen years of raising me.
No matter how powerful Jiang Siqing is outside, when he returns home, he is still a child who wants to snuggle up to his mother.
He talked a lot, starting from the matter of the poisonous cloth and gradually leading to Han Xinxin.
"Mom, I am really attracted to Miss Han, but our family's conditions..."
He sighed and pushed open the door to the main hall. With the moonlight shining into the room, he widened his eyes in shock.
In the room, the bodies of the foster mother and the servant were lying in a pool of blood, with knives left by the murderer still stuck in their bodies.
Jiang Yu couldn't believe what he saw and quickly turned on the light.
But after the room was lit up, he could see the bodies of the two people more clearly.
The adoptive mother was still holding tightly in her hands two pieces of clothes that she had just sewn.
He asked his mother to make dresses for Deng Youning and Han Xinxin.
There was a letter tucked into the boy's arms.
It was not stained with blood, so it should have been left there after his death, meaning the murderer had put it there after his death.
Jiang Yu's eyes were bloodshot and he couldn't help but shed tears.
Maybe because he experienced heart-wrenching pain when he was a child, he has a good ability to endure psychologically.
He did not break down emotionally, but knelt down calmly, kowtowed three times to his adoptive mother, and then closed the servant's eyes.
Only then did he take down the letter.
As he read the letter, his hands trembled as he laughed bitterly.
The anger in his heart made his fists clench so hard that they made a creaking sound.
Just at this moment, there was suddenly lightning and thunder outside the window.
After the thunder and lightning, heavy rain poured down.
It seemed as if even God knew his tragic fate.
He tried his best to cheer himself up. His family was killed and the other party left a threatening letter. He had to tell these things to His Royal Highness Prince Changle and others as soon as possible.
At midnight, the city, shrouded in darkness and heavy rain, seemed to be carrying out a long-planned battle.
Jiang Yu knocked on the door of Changle Palace.
It was so late, and seeing him still coming in the rain, even the slaves in the mansion knew that something was wrong.
Uncle Gui woke up Li Tianzhuo who had just fallen asleep not long ago.
Li Tianzhuo directly asked Jiang Yu to come to his room.
He looked at him sleepily.
Without waiting for him to ask, Jiang Yu knelt on the ground and begged in a crying voice:
"Please, Your Majesty, take charge of our Jiang family and punish the culprit, the Princess!"
