Jiang Mingzhi dodged, but did not forget to loudly denounce King Hui's actions.
"...In order to cover up his crimes, King Hui even resorted to killing people, not even sparing young girls who had not yet reached marriageable age. My adopted sister, Zhou Suijin, died at his hands!"
Jiang Mingzhi pushed the coffin open, and a foul stench accompanied by flies flew out. Everyone retreated in horror. Some righteous men stepped forward in anger. After seeing the tragic situation inside the coffin, they also raised their arms and shouted: "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Who of them is not born by their parents? Even if they are from the royal family, they should not take human lives lightly!"
Chu Muchi had no patience anymore. He shook his sleeves and the next second grabbed Jiang Mingzhi's throat. With a flick of his hand, he took out the blood letter that Jiang Mingzhi had hidden in his arms.
He loosened his grip and unfolded the blood letter. It was empty inside, with nothing in it, not to mention the evidence Jiang Mingzhi claimed about King Hui.
"You're so mysterious, Jiang Mingzhi. I think you're tired of living!"
Jiang Mingzhi wiped the blood foam from the corner of his lips and smiled brightly.
Chu Muchi wanted to investigate further, but unexpectedly, there was an even louder commotion in the distance. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people coming from the direction of the palace. Among the three people in front, one of them was Zhou Yihuai, whom Jiang Mingzhi had secretly sent away!
"His Majesty has decreed that the Prince Regent and Princess Regent come to the palace for an audience!"
The moment Jiang Mingzhi saw her father, her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She didn't bother to respond, but took two steps forward, trying to figure out why her father, who was supposed to have left with his mother and brother, was here at this moment.
"Princess, you have already helped the Zhou family a lot. No matter who you are, I can no longer be afraid of death and stay out of this matter."
Therefore, Zhou Yihuai finally decided to stay. No matter what, he could let Jiang Mingzhi, a little girl, rush forward alone again. This time, it was time for him to take action.
So, he secretly turned back, rode a horse for several days in disguise to enter the capital, made a feint to the east and attacked from the west to enter the palace, and pleaded with the emperor.
Jiang Mingzhi didn't know this. When she learned that the emperor knew everything, she finally collapsed.
Thunder roared and rain poured down.
When Jiang Mingzhi woke up again, it was already dusk.
She was lying in the upper room of Prince Yong's Mansion. This was where she had lived since she married into the mansion, so she was naturally familiar with it.
But at this moment, everything was so quiet that no one even noticed that she had woken up.
"Are you awake?"
The first sentence after waking up was so familiar. Who else could it be but Chu Muchi?
Jiang Mingzhi turned his head and saw Chu Muchi who seemed to be hiding in the dark.
"Your Majesty."
Jiang Mingzhi looked at his expression and probably knew that today's matter was over.
"King Hui..."
"He's been imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court. The Dali Temple has taken over the retrial of the Zhou family case. Are you satisfied?"
"If justice can be restored, I will naturally be satisfied."
Seeing that she was still playing dumb, Chu Muchi lowered his breath a little and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Mingzhi, can you tell me now, who... you are?"
"Your Highness, you are joking. Who else could I be? Of course, I am your wife, who just married you less than a year ago."
Chu Muchi just smiled without saying anything, but stared at Jiang Mingzhi with gloomy eyes.
"Let's get a divorce." Jiang Mingzhi looked up. She had done what she wanted to do, so there was no need for her to marry Chu Muchi.
"Divorce?" Chu Muchi's throat tightened, and he grabbed Jiang Mingzhi's wrist. "Now that you've achieved your goal, you want to kick me out?"
Jiang Mingzhi rubbed his temples helplessly, "Your Highness, I'm probably not your obedient and manipulated wife in your heart. You should know that the meaning of your existence is just to use me. Why bother?"
"A day of marriage brings a hundred days of grace. Jiang Mingzhi, how could you be so cold and indifferent? You can just talk about divorce with just a few words?"
Jiang Mingzhi's eyes flashed, and she understood what he was talking about. She immediately said magnanimously, "The heavy burden in the past was only due to my status as the princess. I also promise that I will never force the prince to take responsibility for the things that I do as a wife."
She really didn't care. How could someone who had seen rivers of blood consider something on the bed to be more important than her life?
She didn't have much affection for Chu Muchi. Although he was good-looking, Jiang Mingzhi had no regrets about him because he often injured her.
Roses are beautiful, but they have thorns, so it’s better not to pick them.
Unexpectedly, Chu Muchi's chest was heaving. After a while, he spoke just as Jiang Mingzhi was about to leave: "You are already pregnant. Where are you going with my child?"
Jiang Mingzhi was stunned for only a moment, then she came up with a solution that would satisfy both parties: "Your Highness, the child is with me. I will take good care of her. If you miss her, you can come visit her occasionally. After all, with your status, you will surely have no shortage of wives, concubines, and children in the future."
"Jiang Mingzhi, the Dali Temple hasn't yet conducted a thorough investigation, and the Zhou family hasn't been completely cleared of their grievances. Aren't you being a bit hasty in severing ties with me right now?"
That's what he said, but Jiang Mingzhi knew in his heart that if the emperor didn't want to punish Prince Hui, or if the emperor had no doubts about Prince Hui at all, he wouldn't have locked him up in the clan house as soon as something happened.
In the current situation, King Hui is definitely not going to be able to survive. Moreover, his father has revealed that the emperor is very sensitive about King Hui's background, so King Hui is doomed this time.
As for Chu Muchi, she had already used him up, and he had also gained a lot of benefits from her, such as the Wang family's stance. Now it was time for them to break up.
She just didn't expect that she would be pregnant. Jiang Mingzhi did not reject this child. After experiencing so many life and death experiences, she was still looking forward to the arrival of a new life.
