Emperor Mingxi calmed down and murmured, "I am still puzzled. We have clearly sent secret guards to monitor the Jiang Mansion, waiting for the moment when Grand Tutor Jiang escapes so that they can arrest him immediately."
"But until now, there has been no news of his escape. Unexpectedly, he actually brought his family and took the initiative to enter the palace."
Debao said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, it wasn't Grand Tutor Jiang who brought his family. He fainted and was carried here. It was Madam Jiang and Jiang Zhiyuan who brought him here."
When everyone heard this, they all looked surprised.
[Oh my god, what explosive news is this! ]
[Grand Tutor Jiang was brought into the palace by Madam Jiang and Jiang Zhiyuan! What's going on? Is Jiang Zhiyuan awake?]
Xia Miaoyuan was startled and couldn't help but sit up and listen carefully.
At this time, the Second Prince exclaimed in surprise: "What! Does this mean Jiang Zhiyuan is awake?!"
Debao nodded: "That's right, I see he looks very energetic, as if he has recovered."
Emperor Mingxi waved his hand and said, "Send the three of them in!"
Soon, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Zhiyuan walked in and saluted Emperor Mingxi.
Behind them, two young eunuchs carried Master Jiang in on a stretcher.
Everyone stretched their necks to look at Master Jiang lying on the ground. They saw a wound on his forehead, his breathing was steady, and he seemed to be still asleep.
"Jiang Zhiyuan, are you finally awake?" Emperor Mingxi asked first.
Jiang Zhiyuan raised his head and replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty, I am back to normal now."
Emperor Mingxi looked at Jiang Zhiyuan with great interest. "Why did you come to the palace with Grand Tutor Jiang and Madam Jiang today? Are you asking to be beheaded?"
"Your Majesty, I have come to the palace today to report a shocking event to Your Majesty."
When everyone heard the words "earth-shattering", their hearts tightened.
At this time, Madam Jiang echoed, "Your Majesty, we have come to the palace today to sacrifice our relatives for the greater good. For the sake of the country and its people, we, mother and son, have decided to sacrifice our relatives for the greater good and expose Grand Tutor Jiang's treasonous behavior!"
Although Mrs. Jiang is a woman and over fifty years old, her words are powerful and resonant.
Emperor Mingxi couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing this.
At this time, Xia Miaoyuan in the warm room was already excited and his heart was pounding.
【Hahahaha! Sacrificing one's own family for the greater good, could it be that the old lady has already told him about Jiang Zhiyuan's life story?】
[So the mother and son decided to put justice before their own family and kill their cheap father, Grand Tutor Jiang!]
[Oh, it's super interesting just thinking about it. ]
"Old man Jiang, you used your son to convict me back then, and now your cheap son is exposing and reporting you. You really deserve it!"
【As the saying goes, fortunes change! 】
Although Prince Jin and Xiao Licheng present could hear Xia Miaoyuan's thoughts, they did not know the secret that Jiang Zhiyuan was not the biological son of Grand Tutor Jiang.
Hearing Xia Miaoyuan's complaints, his heart was like a thousand horses galloping. He suppressed his emotions hard and managed to keep a calm face.
Emperor Mingxi calmed down and said sternly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Jiang Zhiyuan raised his head and said loudly, "Your Majesty, my father pushed all the blame onto me. I am innocent."
"I dare not say that I am law-abiding and honest, but my crimes are definitely not punishable by death. Most of what I did was instructed by my father."
"I have evidence for all of this and can present it later."
"I was imprisoned with my father. I was originally healthy."
"I don't know how my father managed to get a drug that can make people unconscious, but he put it in my food and tricked me into eating it. That's how I became unconscious."
"He took advantage of the fact that the culprit was unconscious and unable to speak, and thus shifted all the blame onto him."
When he said this, Jiang Zhiyuan's eyes became red.
Emperor Mingxi nodded slowly: "Okay, I will investigate the matter between you and your father."
At this time, Jiang Zhiyuan glanced at everyone in the room, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"What's wrong?" asked Emperor Mingxi.
"What I am about to tell you is something earth-shattering, Your Majesty..."
Emperor Mingxi immediately understood what Jiang Zhiyuan meant. He wanted him to clear the room and speak only to him.
He said in a gentle voice, "Everyone here is my trusted minister. You can speak freely."
[Hurry up and say it! You're so annoying!]
After hearing this, Jiang Zhiyuan calmly took out a piece of deerskin from his arms, raised his hands above his head, and presented it to Emperor Mingxi.
Debao took the deerskin smoothly and presented it to Emperor Mingxi.
He took the deerskin in his hand and examined it carefully, then asked in confusion, "What is this?"
At this time, Xia Miaoyuan was extremely curious and was no longer satisfied with just listening through the curtain. He tiptoed onto the couch, opened the curtain a little, and looked out quietly.
"What is it?! Hurry up and tell me, I'm so anxious."
Jiang Zhiyuan said slowly, "Your Majesty, this is a treasure that my father has kept privately for more than ten years."
"It concerns the national treasury of Daxia, the country and society of Daxia, and the lives of millions of people!"
"It's a map of the mines within Daxia."
Emperor Mingxi was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth: "What did you say? This is a mining map?!"
Jiang Zhiyuan looked ahead with a sharp gaze: "Yes, what I said is all true, not a single word is false."
"Ever since my father ascended to a high position and wielded immense power, he has been amassing wealth relentlessly."
"Fifteen years ago, in a desolate village in the northwest, villagers accidentally discovered iron ore while digging a well. Local officials wanted to report it to the court and receive a reward."
