Yang's cry was like suddenly adding a bucket of cold water to boiling water.
The flower hall, which had been in chaos, immediately became quiet.
Prince Jing threw down the knife in his hand and walked towards Yang in silence.
He looked at Yang with a sharp gaze, and Yang was suddenly frightened.
"I just forgot that you are the culprit!"
Prince Jing's voice was extremely penetrating in the quiet flower hall.
"She killed Chengguang, killed Liuyun, brought in a child from outside to pass him off as a royal bloodline, and she wasn't a good wife, she committed adultery..."
Prince Jing grabbed Yang's collar and pulled it tightly. His eyes were as bulging as copper bells and he stared at Yang's eyes fiercely.
Yang couldn't utter a word at this moment.
She never expected that Prince Jing knew so much.
"You vicious woman, I will kill you today on behalf of God!"
Prince Jing spoke with gritted teeth, and a pair of large hands like iron clamps had already tightly grasped Yang's neck.
Yang's face turned red from being pinched, and she rolled her eyes in pain, but she was tied up and couldn't resist at all.
[Oh my god, the emperor's uncle has gone crazy!] Xia Miaoyuan was so frightened that she curled up in a chair, completely stunned. Grandpa Debao hurriedly picked her up and stood in a safe place.
"Second brother, you can't do that!" Xia Zhengqi shouted and ran forward to stop him.
Xia Chenghai, Ying Chen, and several guards from the flower hall also rushed forward to stop Prince Jing.
It took a lot of effort for several people to pry open Prince Jing's fingers one by one.
The ropes on Yang were also untied.
Yang was coughing and stroking her neck and chest in pain with her hands. She could no longer stand up and her face was red and purple, which was very scary.
Xia Zhengqi quickly sorted out his thoughts.
At present, Prince Jing was too emotionally agitated to continue the interrogation on the spot.
In addition, he had just unexpectedly heard from his daughter's mouth that Yang actually had a lover, and this lover was planning a rebellion with the prince. This should not be underestimated.
After thinking this through, Xia Zhengqi immediately issued an imperial decree, handing Prince Jing and Lady Yang over to the Dali Temple for secret interrogation. Xia Chenghai, Madam Lü, Wu Shanren, and other relevant personnel were also temporarily detained at the Dali Temple.
As for Xia Yuexin, considering that she was pregnant, she was placed under house arrest in Prince Jing's Mansion.
The entire Prince Jing's Mansion was temporarily and secretly sealed off, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
The current Chief Justice of the Dali Temple is Xia Miaoyuan’s third uncle Xiao Licheng.
Xiao Licheng was best at investigating and trying cases. Under his management, the case was completed in just two days.
On the afternoon of the third day, Xiao Licheng brought the case file to the imperial study and reported to Xia Zhengqi.
At this time, Xia Miaoyuan was staggering in front of the bookcase, flipping through books one by one.
[Oh, it’s my third uncle! ]
Seeing Xiao Licheng coming, Xia Miaoyuan ran over happily and hugged her uncle's legs.
Xiao Licheng made a gesture to her to keep quiet, and Xia Miaoyuan ran away tactfully to play somewhere else.
Xia Zhengqi's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Licheng: "You're finally here. The Jing Wang family's affairs have been bothering me and I can't eat or sleep."
"Don't worry about it, just tell me the results of the interrogation!"
Xia Zhengqi asked Xiao Licheng to sit down and asked Debao to serve him a pot of good tea.
Xiao Licheng did not refuse. He sat down to calm his mind and reported, "Your Majesty, Yang has confessed. The man she committed adultery with was Yuyang County Prince Xia Yi. Yang's daughter, Xia Yuexin, is Xia Yi's bloodline."
"It's him!" Xia Zhengqi couldn't help but sigh.
[Oh, the Prince of Yuyang, I have some impression of him. In the book, he is a frustrated man.]
[The book describes him as handsome, talented in both civil and military affairs, and a man of great talent for governing the country. Unfortunately, he was born into a branch of the royal family. No matter how hard he worked, he could only get the empty title of a small prince.]
[Members of the royal family were not eligible to take the imperial examinations, and his branch was of little status, so even if he had great ambitions, he had nowhere to display them.]
Xia Miaoyuan stood in front of the bookshelf, muttering to himself.
Xiao Licheng and Xia Zhengqi both listened attentively with bated breath.
Xia Zhengqi was even more shocked. He had no impression of this Prince of Yuyang named Xia Yi. This person was almost an invisible figure in the royal family.
Such a person actually rebelled in his previous life! It was really unexpected.
"What's going on between him and Yang?" Xia Zhengqi asked.
Xiao Licheng said calmly, "They both confessed everything about their affair, and their statements are consistent."
"When Yang was still in her boudoir, she met Xia Yi, and they were both attracted to each other."
"Then why didn't they get married?" Xia Zhengqi raised his eyebrows, seeming to be very interested in this question.
[Is there even a need to ask?] Xia Miaoyuan said with disdain.
[The Yang family must be dissatisfied with the so-called Prince of Yuyang's power being too weak and unable to bring any benefits to the Yang family.]
Xiao Licheng: My niece is so smart!
"Back then, Yang's father, Lord Yang, disliked Xia Yi's low rank and lack of future prospects, so he separated them. Not long after, he arranged a marriage for Yang to Prince Jing."
Xia Zhengqi couldn't help but sigh repeatedly after hearing this: "I didn't expect there were so many hidden secrets behind this matter."
"Alas, my second brother insisted on marrying Bai, and the late emperor and the Yang family kept urging him to marry Yang. I thought Yang was very willing to marry into Prince Jing's mansion, but I never thought she was also helpless."
After Xia Zhengqi sighed, Xiao Licheng continued, "After Yang married into Prince Jing's mansion, Xia Yi couldn't bear the pain of missing her, so he took advantage of the royal banquets or the Prince Jing's mansion's banquets to meet with Yang in private."
