Chapter 338: Blowing rainbow farts
The emperor’s order was kept secret, and no one could see his movements. They could only hear his voice questioning Jiang Zhiyu.
Even so, it was enough to alert Jiang Kangan and Xiao Lingyu.
Jiang Zhiyu’s answers were almost the same. If it were someone else, they would ask three or four questions at most and then stop asking. But the emperor seemed to have no patience at all and did not miss a single question.
Sure enough, he could hear Zhiyu’s thoughts.
Jiang Kangan paused while holding the picture album. In this way, everything could be explained. No wonder the emperor valued Zhiyu so much and allowed her to hold a high position.
Jiang Kangan was once again glad that he took Zhiyu away in advance yesterday.
Xiao Lingyu and Jiang Kangan had the same idea.
He licked his lips. It seemed that he had to be careful in his words and actions not only in front of the emperor, but also in front of Jiang Zhiyu. What if...
No, she knew so much about him. What's the point of being careful now?
Compared with them, Jiang Zhiyu and Xiao Mingye didn't think so much.
Xiao Mingye played with the teacup in his hand, thinking in his heart when it would end, so that he could ask Jiang Zhiyu about the dog.
Jiang Zhiyu was used to being asked questions by the emperor on weekdays, and didn't feel anything wrong, but was a little impatient.
When Jiang Zhiyu's patience was about to run out, the emperor finally stopped. The emperor, who had solved a big problem, was very happy: "Zhiyu is really my lucky star, reward! Just reward him with ten thousand taels of gold!"
Jiang Zhiyu: "!!!"
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
Although I don't know why the emperor suddenly rewarded me, who cares.
[Ten thousand taels of gold, it's worth me to blow a rainbow fart for him! ]
Rainbow...what?
Before everyone could react, Jiang Zhiyu had already started her performance.
"Brother's legs are not legs, spring water by the Seine; brother's back is not a back, a rose in Bulgaria; brother's waist is not a waist, the curved knife of the life-stealing Sanlang; brother's mouth is not a mouth, the clear water under the Anhe Bridge."
Everyone: "..."
Obviously I know every word, why can't I understand it when they are combined together?
"I love your money."
Everyone: "..."
Well, now they don't even recognize each other.
The air fell into an eerie silence, and Jiang Zhiyu made a dissatisfied "tsk" sound, and the emperor ended the compliment with a few words.
...
At the same moment, on the other side, He Yanting was in charge of the interrogation with Qianhu.
Looking around the imperial prison, all the court officials were wearing official uniforms and wearing shackles. Xing Maozhi looked at his former colleagues and sighed repeatedly.
They were obviously not people of integrity, why did they become so stubborn when they came to him!
Taifu Wen's official uniform was soaked with blood. Xing Maozhi squatted in front of him and advised: "Why do you insist on being wrong? Prince Yu has become a prisoner. His Majesty is kind-hearted. As long as you explain the whole cause and effect clearly, His Majesty will naturally show mercy."
"The matter is a foregone conclusion. If he can make a comeback, I won't say anything. But look, at the palace banquet, everything was under the control of His Majesty."
"As the saying goes, a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. At this point, it's time for you to wake up!"
Taifu Wen tightly closed his lips and said nothing.
Xing Maozhi was so angry that his liver hurt: "I am saying this to you because of the old relationship between you and me. If it were left to those two people, they would never be as soft-hearted as me!"
"What benefits did Prince Yu promise you? How can he compare with the emperor?!"
Xing Maozhi asked this question with real feelings.
Just based on the situation when he met Prince Yu last time, if Prince Yu really succeeded in his rebellion, Tianqi would be on the verge of destruction!
How did such a person instigate half of the court officials to rebel? !
Xing Maozhi really couldn't understand.
As if sensing his collapse, Master Wen, who had been keeping his lips tightly shut, suddenly smiled.
That smile was so cold that even Xing Maozhi, who was used to being in prison and seeing all kinds of prisoners, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
He watched Master Wen slowly open his mouth, the scarlet tongue was like a snake's tongue, trying to wrap around him, and said in a dry voice: "Because of a secret, do you want to hear it?"
No!
Xing Maozhi's mind almost instantly popped up this answer, he tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, pretending to be calm: "What secret?"
"Since it is a secret, only you and I can hear it, let them go."
He licked his dry lips, and after saying this, he closed his eyes and lips again,
letting Xing Maozhi's eyes fall on him.
After a long time, he heard Xing Maozhi say, "Everyone get out."
Master Wen curled his lips and smiled. After the noise and movement around him disappeared, he reopened his eyes, looked around, and whispered, "The secret is that the current emperor is not the blood of the previous emperor!"
Xing Maozhi: "!!!"
His eyes suddenly widened.
Master Wen seemed very satisfied with his expression, with a happy look on his face: "He is not even a prince. He is just a child that the queen had someone bring from outside the palace to protect the prince."
"Why... you don't believe it?" Master Wen chuckled: "I didn't believe it at first, but Prince Yu showed me the letter left by the queen and something that could prove his identity. It turns out that the one we are loyal to is a man of unknown low blood! No matter how despicable Prince Yu is, he is of orthodox blood after all!"
Xing Maozhi: "..."
He himself didn't care much about these things, but there were many old-fashioned people in the court who valued orthodoxy more than anything else. If Prince Yu used this as an excuse to pull in half of the court officials, it would indeed be reasonable.
After hearing everything, his expression softened, but Master Wen's brows became more and more wrinkled.
"What's wrong with you..."
"What's wrong with me?" Xing Maozhi chuckled. "For me, there is only one person I am loyal to. The only person who promoted me, valued me, and made use of me is that one person. As for the so-called legitimate bloodline and the so-called Crown Prince, what does it have to do with me?"
Master Wen looked at him in astonishment. This theory was incomprehensible to his rusty mind. He even mopped the floor with his hands and wanted to stand up and have a good argument with him.
But he was used to being served by others in his daily life. Since he was imprisoned, he had not eaten a single drop of water and was whipped. Now he really had no strength.
Just the action of mopping the floor made him gasp for breath.
Even so, he still looked at Xing Maozhi and scolded: "Foolish man! How can you allow others to taint the royal bloodline!"
"Do you think that if you show your loyalty, the emperor will be jealous of you, value you, and make you prosperous? You are wrong!"
"No emperor can tolerate someone who knows his secrets! You can choose to tell him, or you can pretend that you don't know about it, and then be worried, waiting for him to kill you one day!"
