Chapter 190 The Imperial Master Must Die
"Yeah." Xiao Ji nodded, his eyes slightly lowered, "They are responsible for different things."
"Oh." Xie Yao nodded, thinking that Si Dongyu was more professional in investigating these matters, and did not ask any more questions.
She originally wanted to find some leverage over Xiao Ning.
But she didn't expect to find such a big one that she had never heard of in her previous life, or Xiao Ning was so cautious that he didn't mention it to Song Wenbo in front of her.
Or maybe Song Wenbo doesn’t know either.
This matter was of great importance, Xiao Ji immediately asked Si Nan to pass the message to Si Dong.
Two days later.
When Si Dong arrived in the capital, he immediately returned to the Prince's Mansion quietly.
Si Dong, dressed in black, knelt on one knee in the study, "Just as Your Highness expected, there are indeed people who want to fish in troubled waters in Shu and spread the disease this time."
Xiao Ji's face sank instantly.
He was just defending, but he didn't expect...
"I am incompetent, and the person who took advantage of the situation has not been caught yet, but... it seems to be related to the person that the Third Prince brought to Shu this time."
"I have already informed the Marquis of Zhenbei of this matter as instructed by His Highness, and have just returned to the capital."
Xiao Ji nodded. Although he was worried about this matter, he had no choice but to trust Pei Chen.
Xiao Ji handed the rice paper on the table to Si Dong, "Next, we will focus on investigating this matter."
Xiao Ji taught him everything personally, so reading and writing were naturally no problem for him.
At this moment, he only took a look at the words on the rice paper, his pupils shrank slightly, and his expression was shocked.
Then he bowed his head and replied in a deep voice, "I will follow your orders, Your Highness."
Xiao Ji nodded slightly, "Go ahead."
Si Dong immediately left the study quietly.
After handing the matter over to Si Dong, Xiao Ji breathed a sigh of relief and then looked towards the direction of Shu.
I hope everything goes well for Pei Chen.
"Your Highness."
A familiar voice came from outside the door. Xiao Ji's eyebrows softened instantly and he looked towards the door, "Yaoyao."
Xie Yao walked into the study, frowned slightly, and said, "Zhu Qing just reported that there are more rumors in the capital today."
"It is said that the Imperial Master has already confessed his guilt and accepted punishment, but Your Highness has been hesitant to confirm the case. Is he trying to overturn the Imperial Master's verdict?"
Xie Yao spoke very politely.
The rumors outside are so ugly.
What collusion, conspiracy, officials protecting each other... Xie Yao didn't say anything.
But Xiao Ji understood without her saying anything.
"Is it Xiao Ning?"
Because he was slow to act, Xiao Ning and Concubine Li became anxious.
Xie Yao shook her head. "We haven't found the source yet, but we think it was them who did it."
Xie Yao was a little worried. "There are rumors everywhere. I'm afraid the officials will mention this matter in the morning court tomorrow, which will put pressure on Your Highness..."
Xiao Ji's eyes were slightly cold, "It seems that they are really anxious."
When his eyes fell on Xie Yao, they softened again, "It's okay, I'll go to the palace today."
Xie Yao pulled his sleeve and asked, "Do you want to bring Sui Sui with you?"
The emperor didn't know whether he projected his guilt or nostalgia onto Sui Sui, and he treated Sui Sui very differently.
This is also one of their advantages.
The couple had dealt with this issue several times before.
But today Xiao Ji shook his head and said, "No need."
"Sui Sui is still young, we have to plan for her future." Xiao Ji kissed Xie Yao's forehead, "This time, she should also look at her father."
Even if the emperor loved Sui Sui particularly, this feeling must be limited and would not be endless.
Use it once, then you have less.
Naturally, he had to make plans for his daughter.
Even if he brings Sui Sui into the palace again, it cannot be when he needs something.
Xie Yao understood his implication and held Xiao Ji's hand slightly tighter, "Then Zhao Zhao and I will wait for His Highness at home."
"Okay." Xiao Ji raised the corners of his lips. He liked the word "home" very much.
Ever since Xie Yao came into being.
This is no longer the cold Prince's Mansion, but his home.
Xiao Ji entered the palace and went straight to the Yangxin Palace.
It didn't take much effort to see the emperor, who had just met with important officials in the court.
At this moment, he looked a little tired and looked at Xiao Ji, "Prince, why did you come to the palace today?"
"Your Majesty, I'm here regarding the Imperial Master." As soon as Xiao Ji finished speaking, the emperor frowned.
"Prince, some things... should be stopped at the right time."
Xiao Ji's heart sank slightly.
He just knew it.
"Father, I have been worried about one thing since I learned about this." He knelt on the ground. "I fainted when I came out of the prison the other day due to my weak body."
"I don't have much time left, so please have mercy on me, Father, and give me the chance to fulfill my long-cherished wish."
Xiao Ji is a typical person who looks thin when dressed but has muscles when undressed. At this moment, he was kneeling straight, and his figure seemed a little thin.
He looked directly at the emperor with clear and firm eyes. Although it was a bit disrespectful, he had no intention of backing down.
The father and son looked at each other.
No one gave in to anyone.
The emperor knew what Xiao Ji wanted. He looked at the person in front of him with a dazed look in his eyes for a moment.
He wanted to say that those things were not as simple as Xiao Ji saw on the surface.
It is definitely not the work of one or two people.
If we really want to investigate, I'm afraid it will cause a storm...
But when he met those stubborn eyes, all these words were stuck in the emperor's throat.
The atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation became increasingly depressing.
Li Dajian could hardly breathe, his eyes were fixed on the tip of his shoes, not daring to look around!
for a long time.
The emperor's voice finally rang out, "Why didn't you bring Sui Sui with you today?"
Xiao Ji lowered his eyes, "Sui Sui is still young. He was frightened last time and has been crying these past few days."
The emperor frowned slightly and said, "I will go see her in two days."
"Since the child is not well, you as a father cannot always be busy with work. You should spend more time with the child."
"Okay, let's go back."
The emperor said this, "If you want to do it, then do it, but the Imperial Master... must die."
Xiao Ji suddenly raised his eyes, made eye contact with the emperor, then knelt down and said, "Your son obeys your order."
Xiao Ji left the Yangxin Palace, turned around and strode away.
Li Dajian carefully raised his eyes to glance at Xiao Ji's back and sighed softly in his heart.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not physically exhausted, then...
The next day.
The emperor then issued an edict, sentencing the imperial teacher to immediate execution for the crimes of killing 231 people in Lingxiang Village and murdering the little emperor's grandson!
