The weather in May has gradually become warmer. The Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Rites are busy arranging the weddings of the two princes. Although time is tight, everything is done in accordance with the regulations of the prince's wedding, without any mistakes.
During this period, Xiao Hanyi's mood was like the weather in May. Thinking of his sons growing up, he was filled with joy, but then he thought of the affairs in the court and the harem, and his heart was filled with dark clouds.
Xiao Conghui and Queen Wang secretly dealt with the palace maids who knew the inside story.
Whenever they had time, Queen Wang and Imperial Concubine Heng continued to arrange people to give favors to Concubine Liang. Concubine Liang was very proud of herself and was flattered day and night. Her behavior gradually showed some signs of being domineering. She had long forgotten that she had the Queen and two Imperial Concubines behind her.
The palace and even the entire capital were shrouded in a joyous atmosphere.
Xiao Jiayun's full-month banquet was held in a grand manner. At the same time, the imperial edict conferring the title of Princess Zhaoyang was spread throughout the six palaces and then to the streets and alleys.
Guo Xinxin was granted residence in Yuxiu Palace, and she personally selected palace maids and eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department to serve her.
After the full moon, Xiao Jiayun's body became more and more flexible, and she could already feel what would happen in the next few days.
The sun and moon were very bright that day, and she suddenly felt a murderous intent.
Oh no, Jiang Chi!
[It's over, it's over, Minister Zhou is trying to assassinate Jiang Chi, Jiang Chi is completely defenseless, someone is going to die!]
Guo Xiner had just sent away several concubines from the harem and was about to take a break when she suddenly heard Xiao Jiayun's words. She was frightened. What?
[I want to see Tyrant Daddy and stop all this. Brother Jiang Chi is so handsome, I don't want him to die!]
Xiao Jiayun roared in her heart, but she couldn't speak, so she could only whimper and make a fuss.
Guo Xiner pondered for a moment. Xiao Hanyi seemed to value Jiang Chi very much. Why not go and take a look? But she was afraid that the assassination would cause trouble and hurt her precious daughter.
Forget it, go and take a look, then stay away from it!
Guo Xiner picked up Xiao Jiayun, her face full of kindness, "Would you like your mother to take you to see your father?"
[Okay, okay, let’s go! ]
That’s great, that’s great!
At that time, she would make a fuss and ask Jiang Chi to hold her, and then cry and ask Minister Zhou to leave. This way, the tragedy could be avoided, right?
......
At this moment, Weiyang Palace.
Zhou Li's eyes were red, his face was tired, and his hair was much whiter than last time, making him look several years older.
Yes, he had a son in his old age and raised him for so many years, but he was suddenly killed. It is understandable that he was heartbroken.
Xiao Hanyi also felt sorry for the Shangshu who had always supported him, but every grievance has its perpetrator. His son is gone, and if he wants revenge, he should find his own wife and daughter. Jiang Chi is really innocent.
He glanced at Jiang Chi who was huddled aside. Alas, at such a young age, he came to the capital alone, unable to see his parents, brothers and relatives. He was such a poor child!
"Minister Zhou, I asked the warehouse to find a hundred-year-old ginseng. You can take it back to replenish your body," Xiao Hanyi said with concern.
Zhou Li stood up and bowed his hands in thanks. "I thank the emperor for his concern, but my son died an innocent man and the murderer is still at large. Even if I drink ginseng soup every day, it will not help. I ask the emperor to severely punish the murderer and give my son justice."
Alas, Xiao Hanyi stroked his forehead with his hand. If this matter was investigated, the truth would surely be revealed. But then, the Zhou family would be in trouble. If it was not investigated, he looked at Jiang Chi and thought it would be inappropriate to let Jiang Chi take the blame.
Besides, Jiang Chi is indeed a talented kid. If he is taught well, he may become a capable person. He is a little reluctant to let him go.
Jiang Chi stepped forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I am innocent."
He is now a royal guard, no longer an unknown commoner.
oh?
Just be able to cry out for justice.
Xiao Hanyi felt relieved when he heard Jiang Chi speak. Before, Jiang Chi was very stubborn and kept silent.
Hehe, it must be because he has been studying with the third princess recently, and he has improved a lot.
"I will not wrongly accuse a good person. If you have anything to say, just tell me and I will find out the truth," Xiao Hanyi encouraged Jiang Chi.
Jiang Chi pondered for a moment, "I did fight with them that day, but I was focused on protecting myself and didn't hit Master Zhou's vital points... Your Majesty, please be clear."
"You are quibbling, you foreign traitor, the emperor summoned you to the capital just because you killed someone, you are cruel by nature," Zhou Li roared.
Jiang Chi knelt upright, his face calm and his eyes deep.
"Then tell me, who killed my son?" Zhou Li was very emotional.
Xiao Hanyi sighed and said that the Minister of Justice had to be replaced immediately.
Asking such a question, do you think he is stupid or ignorant?
Jiang Chi still didn't calm down.
He speculated from Xiao Hanyi's recent behavior that Xiao Hanyi probably wouldn't kill him. The Minister Zhou in front of him was also incredibly stupid. Why would he kill his son for no reason?!
He couldn't even see that this was such an obvious case of killing someone with a borrowed knife. I don't know how Zhou Li became the Minister of Justice. If he were the emperor, it would be good enough if he didn't punish him for negligence. How dare he act like this!
Jiang Chi raised his eyes to look at Xiao Hanyi, and it happened that Xiao Hanyi was also looking at him. Their eyes met, but Jiang Chi's eyes did not show any panic at all.
Xiao Hanyi was shocked, he really had great determination.
"Jiang Chi, can you prove your innocence? If not, then I can only..." Xiao Hanyi set a trap for Jiang Chi, wanting to see how Jiang Chi would react.
Jiang Chi, "..."
beep!
What's that expression on Jiang Chi's face?
Although it was only a moment, Xiao Hanyi still captured it clearly. What did he mean?
Xiao Hanyi cursed inwardly, was it a hint of disappointment?
This brat was actually disappointed in him?
Jiang Chi said, "Your Majesty, I have little experience. How can the laws of Daliang be like this?"
