"I never saw the beggar at the entrance of that alley again, and I didn't take his story to heart. It wasn't until I met Princess Gong tonight that I suddenly remembered what I had heard that year."
Lu Jianan's words suddenly reminded Ye Peizhu of something, and her expression became more complicated.
"So that's how it is. If he had been a servant in Prince Gong's mansion, he wouldn't have ended up as a beggar.
Maybe he really made this up to make himself stutter."
Ye Peizhu glanced at the sky outside after she finished speaking, "Jia Nan, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. You are recuperating and can't be too tired."
Lu Jianan also felt a little tired, so he said a few words to Ye Peizhu and left Qingzhuyuan.
Ye Peizhu sat on the couch, concentrating on recalling what Lu Jianan had just said, and didn't even notice when King Kang came back.
"Madam? Madam?"
King Kang shouted a few times before Ye Peizhu came back to her senses. She was almost frightened when she saw the enlarged face in front of her.
"When did you come back, my lord?"
Ye Peizhu rubbed her chest.
"I've been back for a while. I called you several times but you didn't hear me."
Prince Kang sat beside his wife, feeling aggrieved, and said jealously, "Madam, what are you thinking about? You think about it so seriously."
Ye Peizhu had a complicated expression, "Your Highness, do you remember one day a few years ago when Prince Gong said he would come to the mansion for dinner, but he didn't come that day because of something else?
Later, I asked the prince why Prince Gong didn't come. The prince said that Prince Gong was busy dealing with a servant in the mansion.
Does Your Majesty still remember this incident?"
Prince Kang thought for a moment and said, "There was such an incident. It seems that the servant stole something very important from Prince Gong. After finding the thing, Prince Gong had the servant beaten up. The servant was beaten to death on the spot and then thrown out of Prince Gong's Mansion.
Madam, what's the matter? Why do you suddenly bring this up?
"Your Majesty, I heard something from Jianan. Please listen to it."
Ye Peizhu then told everything Lu Jiannan had said about Prince Gong's Mansion.
"...Your Highness, do you think the beggar Jianan mentioned is the servant who was thrown out and beaten to death by Prince Gong?
Although he was beaten to death on the spot, maybe it was a fake death?
Should we send someone to look for this person? He can tell us about what happened in Prince Gong's Mansion. Maybe he wasn't beaten to death for stealing, but because he knew the secrets of Prince Gong's Mansion.
If we can find him, perhaps we can learn more about what is happening in Prince Gong's Mansion.
Prince Gong dared to assassinate our child. If we can get hold of Prince Gong's secret, we can use this opportunity to threaten him, or we can give him a fatal blow.
My Lord, I know you can't bear it, but Prince Gong and I are already enemies. It's either he dies or we die.
besides........"
Ye Peizhu paused, stood up, tiptoed to the crib, glanced at her sleeping daughter, and then whispered to Prince Kang about her daughter's thoughts in Prince Gong's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, this time, everything is in our favor. We cannot miss such a good opportunity."
There was a lot of information in Ye Peizhu's words. King Kang was a little confused, but he calmed down, sorted out his thoughts, and his expression became solemn and determined.
"Well, since God has given us this opportunity, if I don't seize it, I'm afraid Prince Gong will be the first to make a move.
Tonight at Prince Gong's Mansion, Prince Gong's hostility towards his husband was no longer concealed.
The look in her eyes was as if her husband had sent someone to assassinate him.
We should take action before we completely break off relations with Prince Gong."
Prince Kang's words gave Ye Peizhu a flash of inspiration, but that inspiration disappeared very quickly before Ye Peizhu could react.
The couple was discussing something when the guard came to report.
It was also a coincidence that the report was about the affairs of Prince Gong's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, Princess, I have found out that the relationship between Prince Gong's legitimate son and Princess Gong is not very good, but he has a good relationship with one of Prince Gong's concubines.
Among Prince Gong's concubines, the only one who was an orphan was Jiang Yingying, who was brought to the capital from a small place by Prince Gong.
And when Prince Gong was assassinated, Jiang Yingying blocked an arrow for him."
Ye Peizhu exchanged glances with Prince Kang and said, "Let's investigate Jiang Yingying's background and which concubine Prince Gong's legitimate son has the best relationship with.
Also, investigate whether the servant who was beaten to death and thrown out of the palace by Prince Gong a few years ago for stealing Prince Gong's things is alive or dead now."
"yes."
"Also," Prince Kang added, "find a way to plant spies in Prince Gong's Mansion."
The guard agreed and left.
Prince Kang turned his head and met his wife's gratified gaze, and coughed with his hands covering his lips in embarrassment.
"Madam, why do you look at me like that?"
"I am very pleased. I feel that Your Highness has... well, grown up."
Prince Kang knew what his wife meant. He held her hand and sighed, "Madam, I will continue to grow. I have said that I will protect our family for the rest of my life."
"Um."
She believed it.
.......
The arson case that occurred in the outer city of Beijing has come to a conclusion.
Jiang Fanghui's motive for arson was established. She wanted to avenge her niece, so she wanted to kill those dozens of civilians.
On the night the house caught fire, she appeared in an alley in the outer city, and there were eyewitnesses.
Oil far exceeding the edible amount was also found in her temporary residence.
All the evidence proves that it was Jiang Fanghui who set the fire.
Jiang Fanghui was sentenced to death for murder.
Jiang Fanghui firmly refused to admit that she had set the fire and kept shouting that she wanted to see her son and ask her son to come and save her.
But Prime Minister Leng Zhuning had already made it clear in public that he would not care about Jiang Fanghui's arson.
So until the day before Jiang Fanghui's execution, she never saw Leng Zhuning again.
At the same time in the palace, An Yi was confirming this matter with the old emperor.
"Your Majesty, are you really going to execute the Prime Minister's mother?"
The old emperor glanced at An Yi who lowered his head.
"What? Do you think what I said is a joke?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I boldly speculated on your thoughts. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
An Yi immediately knelt on the ground.
The old emperor sneered, "You dare to guess my thoughts this time. The Prime Minister's mother is dead, and even if she is kept, she can't be used as a pawn.
I was also quite surprised that the Prime Minister was so determined. I thought he would come to the palace to beg me. How boring."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"How's things going with Prince Gong? He must be very surprised by the surprise I prepared for him.
He thought he was a good brother to King Kang, but it turned out that his good brother stabbed him in the back!
Hahahaha, this is really interesting. I can't wait to see which of them will become my next chess piece."
