Chapter 425 Confrontation
He swallowed the soup in his mouth, pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, Xiao Chuji must have done something to cause Jiang Zhiyu to make such a fuss. She is angry now. If I don't go, she may not remember it. If I go, she may be angry with me."
Without seeing how Song Shiwei reacted, he laughed first.
Angry.
It's ridiculous for a prince to worry about the anger of the emperor.
He laughed at himself, but Song Shiwei gritted his teeth secretly.
His originally very good mood fell to the bottom in an instant because of his words.
Even Xiao Yanli is so jealous of her, so even if she becomes the queen, doesn't she still have to look at Jiang Zhiyu's face? !
Damn it!
She was secretly annoyed, and Xiao Yanli seemed to suddenly remember something. He sent away the people serving on the side, then looked at Song Shiwei and said seriously: "Do you know your own life experience?"
"Not sure," Song Shiwei shook his head: "Why do you ask like this, what did you find out?"
Xiao Yanli lowered his eyes slightly, and Song Shiwei grabbed his collar excitedly: "You found out, right? My biological father is indeed a high-ranking official, not a small bodyguard, right? He was killed by Jiang Zhaorong, right?"
Xiao Yanli frowned slightly and patted her on the back: "Calm down, tell me what you know first."
Unlike before, no matter how affectionate she was, Song Shiwei still had a little defense against him, but now that they are husband and wife, and have performed the Zhougong etiquette, Song Shiwei has been extremely frank with him.
Hearing him say this, Song Shiwei calmed down and said, "I only know roughly. When I was young, my mother always told me that my father had a very high status, and he would come to pick us up after the outside world stabilizes."
"But she didn't make it in the end. After her death, the person I met was Jiang Zhaorong."
"Jiang Zhaorong thought I didn't know, so she lied to me that I was the daughter of my mother and his bodyguard, and that the bodyguard died to save him. He took into account this kindness and the fact that the bodyguard had followed him for many years, so he wanted to adopt me as his adopted daughter."
"But when I left with him, I took away my mother's handwritten letter. I couldn't understand it when I was young, but after I learned to read, I realized that he was not only not my benefactor, but also the murderer of my parents!"
"Parents?" Xiao Yanli asked puzzledly.
"Yes, the mother I mentioned is not my biological mother, but the wife of Jiang Zhaorong's personal guard, and also his concubine!"
Xiao Yanli's pupils suddenly widened.
"So, I will not let such a sinister and shameless person go no matter what!"
Xiao Yanli patted her hand to comfort her: "So that's the case, I did find out your identity, you are a princess of the previous dynasty."
! ! !
What?
Song Shiwei took a breath, and it took him a long time to find his voice. He stammered: "I...did I hear it right?"
"Yes, you are indeed a princess of the previous dynasty."
Song Shi pursed her lips slightly, looked at Xiao Yanli's smiling eyes, and hurriedly avoided his sight.
This is different from what she thought!
Yes, the identity of a princess is indeed noble, but this is a princess of the previous dynasty!
What is the difference between her and ordinary people nowadays?
Even if the emperor hated the previous dynasty, she might even be worried about her life!
Song Shiwei twisted the hem of her skirt with her fingers.
She didn't look as happy as she expected. Xiao Yanli's eyes dimmed and he asked tentatively: "Besides her life experience, did she tell you anything else?"
"What?" Song Shiwei looked at him blankly.
Xiao Yanli took back the words in his throat and chuckled: "It's okay, I'll check it carefully again."
His smile was very forced.
...
On the other side, in the study, the emperor looked at Jiang Zhiyu's memorial with a thoughtful look.
Standing below were all old ministers who were selected for the matter of the honorary prince.
"Your Majesty, I am very timid. If it is true as Jiang Yushi said, the Second Prince has committed so many crimes, please handle it impartially."
"I have sent someone to call him, Zhang
Yushi, please be patient." The emperor's expression was calm, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. He stopped talking and turned to look at Jiang Zhiyu: "But there are other evidences. Just looking at these memorials can't explain anything." "
I have both physical and human evidences, your Majesty, don't worry."
[The more you hold back, the angrier you get. The more you take a step back, the more you feel ashamed.]
The emperor: "..."
What happened, why is he so angry?
After nearly half a cup of tea, Xiao Chuji finally arrived. When he entered the hall and saw the ministers filling the hall, he paused for a moment, then stepped forward and knelt in the middle to salute.
"Father."
The emperor was too lazy to look at him and threw the memorial next to him: "Take a look."
Xiao Chuji picked up the book and glanced at it quickly.
"What else do you have to say? Is what is written here the truth?"
Xiao Chuji calmed his violent heartbeat and said in a dry voice: "Father, I have never done these things!"
The emperor snorted coldly: "Did Jiang Yushi wrongly accuse you?"
Jiang Zhiyu stepped forward: "The secret passage used by the second prince to transport people is in a small mountain village 500 kilometers under Yuyang County. There is a secret passage in the village that leads directly to the port."
"The governor of Yuyang County is the second prince's man. Your Majesty can arrest him for questioning."
Xiao Chuji's face was cold, and the Buddhist beads in his hand were almost crushed by him. Jiang Zhiyu continued: "There are also privately raised soldiers and horses on the mountain to the west of the east of the city. Five hundred elite soldiers are all on that mountain. On weekdays, they are known as mountain bandits."
"What's more, the Yuhua Temple on that mountain is where the second prince became a monk."
The ministers present had heard of the bandits on that mountain. They were known for their ferocity. Because it was close to Shengjing, the Dali Temple went to suppress the bandits several times, but they all came up empty-handed. They
didn't even see the bandits. They disappeared when they searched the mountain, and they ran out again after the search.
They thought it was strange, but if they were the second prince's elite soldiers, it would make sense.
Xiao Chuji gritted his teeth.
Jiang Zhiyu did not give him a chance to speak, and continued: "Moreover, my brother Jiang Kang'an was seriously injured because of the second prince."
"When he went to war, the second prince met my brother and poisoned him. After that, he bribed the imperial physician Zhang who was sent by the emperor to look after my brother, and poisoned my brother for a long time."
"Imperial physician Zhang is waiting outside the palace now. The emperor can summon him at any time. By the way, the assassin who attacked Xu's house last night was also the second prince's hand. They are all suppressed outside the palace."
Xiao Chuji's breathing became rapid, and it was obvious that he could no longer control his emotions.
Damn it!
He just ordered to erase the traces yesterday. No matter how fast they act, they can't come down in half a month. If the emperor goes to investigate, he will find out the truth.
The emperor gave Fuping a look, and Fuping shouted, "Call him."
The Jinyiwei immediately forced the two men into the palace.
Doctor Zhang was so thin that only skin and bones were left, and his eyes were full of fear. Wuming frowned.
