Chapter 433 Not worth a cent
"Of course, if you don't hold him, those people outside will naturally catch him alive, how can they shoot you randomly."
Jiang Zhiyu had an expression of "what nonsense are you talking about".
Liu Jie: "..."
He obviously wanted to ask her. No matter how useless he was, he was not useless enough to be afraid of the group of people outside.
Although he couldn't be unscathed, he wouldn't die on the spot.
Of course, this was the case when Jiang Zhiyu didn't take action.
But from the fight just now and her words, it was not difficult to see that she wanted to help Xiao Lingyu.
Liu Jie sighed lightly and sat down on the ground.
The meaning was very obvious, he surrendered.
"Sixth brother sent you here," Xiao Lingyu suddenly said, and Liu Jie remained silent.
"Sometimes I really can't understand why he has to be so aggressive. Is the friendship in childhood worthless to him?"
He sounded like he was asking someone else, but also like he was talking to himself.
Liu Jie's eyes suddenly became very complicated.
He really couldn't imagine that such naive and stupid words could come out of the mouth of a prince, or even a crown prince.
No wonder the Manchus are all stupid, it turns out that the creature resembles its master.
Jiang Zhiyu did not make any harsh comments on Xiao Lingyu's sudden emotion.
After all, everyone's heart is made of flesh, and it is normal to be sentimental occasionally.
But if it continues, it would be a bit hypocritical.
Fortunately, Xiao Lingyu belongs to the former type. After sighing, he called people loudly and tied up Liu Jie.
While he was being taken away, Xiao Lingyu whispered, "There won't be a second time for the imperial prison."
Liu Jie paused, and then he was taken away as if he hadn't heard anything.
Very obedient.
Xiao Lingyu lay back on the bed.
Xiao Yanli was very careful in every step of his plan.
He thought he had a deep affection for the empress, so during the palace banquet, even if it risked angering the emperor, he had to let the emperor get to the bottom of it.
After all, in the eyes of the outside world, he, the prince, was indeed favored.
But he didn't know that he didn't have any mother-son relationship with the empress. Every time she summoned him, he had to recite. If he couldn't recite, he was punished by kneeling in the early days. Later, when he was a little older, she tortured him in more ways.
In addition to repaying her for raising him, the main reason for asking for a thorough investigation at the palace banquet was to put on a show.
Let the emperor think that he was a man who valued love. If he showed a little weakness, he could get a promise from him.
Xiao Lingyu showed a self-deprecating sneer at the corner of his mouth.
According to Xiao Yanli's plan, he would be full of anger when he saw the corpse of the empress, and Ling Zizhong would instigate him. If he was impulsive, he would rush into the palace and ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly, just like he did at the palace banquet.
He still had some sense, so he made a plan secretly. When the investigation was almost complete, Xiao Yanli would "accidentally" find Ling Zizhong in his house. At that time, Ling Zizhong and the Queen's body, plus his plan, would arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Deposing the prince would be a natural thing.
Unfortunately, the only mistake was the deep love between mother and son.
From the beginning, he had never thought about revenge for the Queen, even if it was Prince Yu who poisoned her, he would not do it, not to mention that it was the Emperor who poisoned her.
Now that her body was found, burying her was the last thing he could do for her.
Xiao Lingyu clutched the corner of the quilt tightly, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible.
After an unknown amount of time, a faint sobbing sound was heard, but only one sound. Then, Xiao Lingyu sat up in panic and looked around.
However, he didn't know when he was the only one left in the palace.
...
The spring rain seemed to have no end, it kept falling, but it was not cold.
Xiao Yanli took a carriage and went to Jiang Zhaorong's house.
Song Shiwei had not found out anything in the past few days. When he greeted her in front of the house, he waved his hands lightly in his sleeves.
Except for Xiao Yanli, no one saw it.
"Why did your highness come here today without informing us in advance?"
Jiang Zhaorong smiled, and Xiao Yanli also smiled.
The two of them looked peaceful, as if the estrangement in the past few days had never happened.
"Now we are family, father-in-law, there is no need to be polite."
Jiang Zhaorong was even more flattered. In terms of status, he was not worthy of the title of father-in-law.
After all, Song Shiwei was only a concubine, and there was no main wife now. If a main wife came in the future, she would be nothing more than a concubine.
How could he be worthy of the title of the prince's father-in-law.
"Your Highness, please lift me up, I..."
Jiang Zhaorong was interrupted by Xiao Yanli before he finished speaking. While walking into the mansion, he said, "We are family, don't talk about different families, father-in-law, just call me Yanli."
At this point, if he refused again, it would seem that he did not know how to lift up.
Jiang Zhaorong swallowed the words that were about to come to her lips: "Then thank you Yanli." He walked side by side with Xiao Yanli, turned his head slightly, and his eyes swept across Song Shiwei: "Yanli came here today for Shiwei."
Xiao Yanli's smile was a little embarrassed and impatient.
"Yes, I think my father-in-law has heard about it. Because of the matter of the concubine ceremony, I thought about it carefully and it was indeed my fault. So, I want to prepare well first, and then take Shiwei back home after I am ready."
Jiang Zhaorong's footsteps stopped suddenly.
Taohong was also stunned, carefully observing Song Shiwei's expression.
Song Shiwei was happy in his heart, but he could only pretend to be unbelievable on his face.
They all stopped, and Xiao Yanli naturally stopped as well, with a smile in his tone: "Why did you stop?"
Jiang Zhaorong didn't know what to say for a while.
Of course, he didn't want Xiao Yanli to take Song Shiwei away so quickly.
He was still thinking of an excuse, but he didn't expect Xiao Yanli to bring it up first.
But this sounded strange.
How can you be prepared to pick someone up later?
He didn't want Xiao Yanli to take the person away for the time being, but that didn't mean he would do that in the future. She
was just a concubine, but she could still give him some help.
"Shi Wei was really willful in this matter. I have criticized her a lot. I hope Your Highness won't blame me."
Jiang Zhaorong couldn't wait to say.
Xiao Yanli naturally knew why he suddenly said this and chuckled, "I told you not to be so formal. I'm not angry, and I really think Shi Wei was polite. Father-in-law, don't worry."
Jiang Zhaorong looked at him suspiciously, and when she saw that he looked calm and didn't seem to want to divorce Song Shiwei, she breathed a sigh of relief and started talking to him.
Taohong behind him patted Song Shiwei's hand to comfort him.
Song Shiwei forced a smile.
After sitting in the hall for a while, Xiao Yanli found an excuse to enter Song Shiwei's yard and be alone with her.
"Your Highness, do you really want to take the risk?"
Song Shiwei looked at Xiao Yanli worriedly.
"No problem, just draw me the route from here to Jiang Zhaorong's study, he won't be able to find it."
