【Alas, it seems we can only wait. 】
Song Jiujiu sighed softly, feeling a little depressed.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Seventh Brother."
Ye Peizhu thanked him. Prince An came over and hugged Song Jiujiu, teased her, and then put the little tiger in his robe and took him away.
As soon as Prince An and the little tiger left, Song Jiujiu felt that the room became a little quieter.
"Jiu'er, it's almost time to go to bed. Be happy, your father will be fine."
Ye Peizhu gently poked the little girl's chubby face and wiped her saliva.
Song Jiujiu sniffed and leaned obediently in her mother's arms.
The moon was dark and the wind was strong, and Prince Kang's Mansion fell into the silence of the night.
Ye Peizhu and Song Jiujiu were both fast asleep.
At this time, a dark shadow sneaked into Prince Kang's mansion.
The dark shadow looked around Prince Kang's mansion inside and out, even the servants' rooms, but he did not see the target of his visit.
The dark shadow An Yi returned to the palace.
At this moment the old emperor had not fallen asleep yet, and An Yi came to report.
"Your Majesty, I have searched Prince Kang's mansion inside and out, but I haven't found any trace of the little tiger."
The old emperor frowned, "What's going on? Didn't you say you saw King Kang's men bringing the little tiger back to the palace?"
How come the tiger disappeared in just one night?!"
“Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don’t know what happened, but I am sure that there is no trace of the little tiger in Prince Kang’s mansion.
Maybe... maybe I saw it wrongly during the day."
An Yi even began to doubt his own eyes.
The old emperor was a little angry when he heard this, and snorted coldly, "Wrong? You said wrong and that's it? Go down and be punished! Also, go to the mountain and find me a tiger to raise!"
"yes!"
An Yi lowered his eyes and retreated.
The punishment in the Dark Guard Camp was fifty lashes and a night in ice water.
An Yi no longer remembered how many times he had experienced such punishment.
The whip marks on his back faded and then increased, layer upon layer, never completely healed.
After being whipped fifty times, An Yi, with blood on his back, entered a wooden barrel filled with ice water.
The extremely cold ice water relieved the pain in his back and made his heart numb.
Just looking at the cold moonlight outside the window, confusion appeared in An Yi's dark eyes.
Are all the things he did for the emperor really meaningful?
......
Song Jiujiu was still a little dazed when she woke up early the next morning.
She thought she would have a precognitive dream during the day yesterday, but she didn't.
She thought she wouldn't have a precognitive dream last night, but she did.
[It’s really strange. This dream I had is more of a replay of the past than a precognitive dream.
I actually dreamed that Prince Ning sent people to find assassins to kill the old emperor!
Those assassins were from a gang called the Killing Pavilion. Prince Ning's men paid 1,200 taels of silver to have those assassins kill the old emperor and me.
The appearance of the person sent by King Ning is blurry in the picture, and I might not be able to recognize him even if I were asked to.
But the killers in the Killing Pavilion knew that the person who paid 1,000 taels of silver to buy his life was sent by King Ning, and they also had evidence.
If we can get evidence from the Killing Pavilion that Prince Ning sent someone to buy the old emperor's life, then my father's injustice can be cleared.
But the problem is, how can I let my mother know about this?
Song Jiujiu crossed her legs and sighed helplessly.
When Ye Peizhu found out that her daughter had woken up and came in to change her diaper, she happened to hear all her daughter's thoughts.
She suppressed her excitement and asked Qiuyun to go into the house to change Song Jiujiu's diaper. She called the secret guard and told him what her daughter was thinking. She asked the secret guard to go to Prince An's mansion and inform Prince An about this matter.
Prince An has more connections and means than her. If Prince An follows the clues Jiuer gave, he should be able to get to the bottom of the matter faster!
Just as Ye Peizhu thought, after Prince An knew this clue, he immediately asked the secret guards to find out how to contact the killers in the Killing Pavilion.
After some investigation, Prince An's men successfully exchanged five thousand taels of silver for the evidence.
After obtaining the evidence, Prince An did not hand it over to the old emperor.
Instead, he found a way to let the old emperor's secret guards investigate this clue and successfully obtained the evidence.
The evidence passed through several hands and finally fell into the hands of the old emperor.
But what Prince An didn't know was that when he sent people to inquire about the existence of the Killing Pavilion, the old emperor's secret guards had already known about it, and they knew about Prince Ning hiring assassins to assassinate the old emperor even earlier than he did.
Although the old emperor had already guessed that the assassination was most likely ordered by Prince Ning, not Prince An.
But when he actually saw the evidence with his own eyes, he was still furious.
No matter what the reason was, Prince Ning blamed Prince Kang for ordering the assassin to assassinate him.
Prince Ning’s murderous intention towards him was very clear!
What a great Prince Ning!
The old emperor was so angry that his face turned red, and eunuch Fuquan was so scared that he had people ready to invite the imperial physician to save him at any time.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Take care of yourself!"
The old emperor took a few breaths, then took out a pill from the small porcelain bottle and swallowed it before he recovered.
"This wicked son! This time he dared to frame his brother and assassinate me. Next time, I'm afraid he will dare to force me to abdicate!"
The old emperor gritted his teeth. If he didn't want to keep Prince Ning to fight against Prince Kang, he would have taken this opportunity to get rid of this evil son!
Forget it, he will endure it for a while.
