Chapter 198 Who is he thinking about in his arms
"What?"
Xiao Ji spoke up, feeling proud but also a little helpless. What should he do if his own Crown Princess only cares about business? ? ?
"Xie Yujiao and Song Wenbo, something is not right." Xie Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, not noticing that Xiao Ji's eyes were filled with a bit of resentment when he looked at her.
Just like a resentful husband.
His girl, Yaoyao, was in his arms, but she was thinking about another man...
Xie Yao was still carefully analyzing what was wrong.
Although Xiao Ji was jealous, he knew his limits and did not disturb Xie Yao. He just played with her hair with his fingers.
His eyes gradually became firm...
It’s all Song Wenbo’s fault!
He deliberately caused these incidents to attract the attention of his Crown Princess.
Last time, I even deliberately sent a letter to his Crown Princess... Did you really think he didn't understand?
Not to mention he's still alive.
Even if he dies, Song Wenbo will be buried with him. Don't even think about getting close to his Crown Princess using these crooked ways!
"Your Highness?"
Xie Yao shouted twice before interrupting Xiao Ji's thoughts. She looked surprised and asked, "What are you thinking about, Your Highness?"
Xiao Ji coughed lightly and said, "Nothing, what did the Crown Princess find wrong?"
"We still need to verify a little bit." Xie Yao kept it a secret, called Si Nan and Zhu Qing, gave them a few instructions, and then let them get busy.
Seeing that Xie Yao had finished her work.
Xiao Ji was about to continue what he was doing just now and prepare to hug his Crown Princess.
But before he could get close, Xie Yao blocked his way with her hand, which stretched straight forward and pressed against his chest.
Xiao Ji's arms were longer, but he could only wrap his arms around Xie Yao's shoulders. "Crown Princess?"
What is this for?
You won’t even let me hug you?
"Your Highness." Xie Yao reminded him, "You said you were going to meet the Imperial Master today. The time is almost up."
Xiao Ji: “…”
He hated the imperial teacher.
Xiao Ji quickly left the study and went to see the imperial teacher with his latest speculations and evidence.
That's right.
Xiao Ning's guess was correct. The person who was beheaded yesterday was indeed not the Imperial Master, but just a substitute that Xiao Ji found from among the death row prisoners.
Then he used makeup and unkempt appearance to disguise himself as the imperial teacher.
That's why Li Shuo took away the Imperial Master's body so quickly, and he also asked Si Bei to arrange someone to escort him.
He made a thorough confession before the emperor that day, and the emperor acquiesced to his act of transplanting flowers and trees.
Maybe it was because he was dying.
Perhaps it was because he thought of his mother...
But it doesn't matter.
The replaced national teacher was naturally taken to a safe place by Xiao Ji's men. Xiao Ji left through the secret passage and soon went to meet the national teacher.
The national teacher obviously also knew what the current situation was.
But he was tied up tightly, unable to live or die.
In the dark room, there was only the empty but never-ending sound of dripping water.
Even someone as determined as the Imperial Master nearly collapsed from such torture.
He didn't even know how much time had passed.
Maybe three to five days, maybe ten days...
Finally, he heard footsteps.
But it was still dark all around, and the Imperial Master couldn't see anyone, which made him feel extremely insecure.
I don’t know where people will come from…
"Wang Ergou."
When Xiao Ji's voice sounded, the Imperial Master was greatly shocked and tried to quickly recall the long-lost memories that emerged in his mind.
No.
His name is not Wang Ergou.
His name is Wang Qingyun!
Xiao Ji did not give him time to refute and continued, "I have asked someone to check the pair of hairpins."
"The person you were engaged to 20 years ago was indeed not Concubine Li."
Xiao Ji said: "Before Concubine Li entered the palace, she had a personal maid named Shaoyao by her side."
"The person you are engaged to is her, right?"
The Imperial Master's body stiffened slightly. Although he remained silent, his breathing became rapid.
"snort."
After a long while, the national teacher sneered, "Kill me if you want to, I don't know what you are talking about."
There was a rope tied around his mouth and his speech was slurred.
"Not long after Shaoyao followed Concubine Li into the palace, she died..." Xiao Ji's voice was neither hurried nor slow, as if he was telling a story.
The Imperial Master's breathing became more and more rapid, as if a sore spot had been poked.
It is indeed related...
Xiao Ji was originally just testing the waters, but now he has determined the direction.
When he mentioned that day that the Imperial Master and Concubine Li had been engaged, the Imperial Master was very frank.
These were naturally not things he had people investigate in the past few days, since he knew that he was poisoned and his mother was murdered.
He became suspicious of everyone in the palace and had secretly asked someone to find out the situation of everyone in the palace over the years.
There are many old people in the palace, and many of them died twenty years ago, but he still found a few who had escaped.
What he was most concerned about, naturally, was the situation in the Weiyang Palace.
"Do you know how Shaoyao died?" As soon as Xiao Ji said this, even in the darkness, he could feel the imperial teacher's eyes filled with deep hatred.
Although the Imperial Master could not see where he was standing, he could clearly hear the direction of the voice.
The Imperial Master's eyes were too sharp, Xiao Ji understood something, "Did anyone tell you that it was my mother who killed her?"
"It's Princess Li."
Xiao Ji made a reasonable analysis, "So, you teamed up with Concubine Li to poison my mother with witchcraft?"
"She deserves to die!" The Imperial Master's voice rang out with gritted teeth and full of hatred.
"She deserves to die!" As soon as the Imperial Master spoke, the anger that had been buried in his heart for many years could no longer be suppressed. "She deserves to die, she deserves to die, she deserves to die!"
"You deserve to die too!"
Xiao Ji's heart seemed to be gripped by something, and it was lifted high, causing a dull pain in his heart.
The national teacher did not deny it.
Therefore, it was indeed the Imperial Master who colluded with Concubine Li to drug her mother.
But where did they find such witchcraft poison?
Xiao Ji's mind turned over and over, and finally turned into a sneer.
The extremely perceptive Imperial Master immediately questioned: "What are you humming? What do you mean? You..."
"I laugh at your stupidity." Xiao Ji said, "You've been used as a pawn for so many years, and you still don't know the truth."
"You're talking nonsense..." The national teacher retorted subconsciously.
Xiao Ji said in a clear voice, "Before my mother passed away, the harem was empty and His Majesty only favored my mother."
"Why did my mother attack the maidservant beside Concubine Li?"
The Imperial Master answered without hesitation, "Of course it's because she is jealous. She plotted to murder the imperial concubine. Shaoyao..."
Xiao Ji interrupted him, "If my mother was really jealous, why didn't any of the other concubines in the harem get into trouble after Shaoyao died?"
"It wasn't until my mother passed away and Concubine Li took the throne that another concubine in the harem died."
"Wang Ergou, these... you should know clearly."
"If Shaoyao knew in her grave that you had sought revenge on the wrong person, she would not be able to rest in peace even after death."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The Imperial Master asked angrily, "She can't possibly lie to me..."
Xiao Ji knew who Wang Ergou was talking about.
Princess Li.
But the national teacher's counter-question also proved that the national teacher took his words to heart, because everything he stated was true.
As an eyewitness, the national teacher should be very clear about it.
His mother was kind, gentle, cheerful and generous. She was definitely not the kind of woman who would murder others out of jealousy!
