Chapter 511 The Real Murderer Behind the Scenes
Xu Jue and Wei Ziang stood where they were.
A sloppy figure wandered over.
"Do you think I wasn't the one who killed Shen Wenhan?" Zhao Jingxuan asked.
He asked casually, as if he didn't care about the matter.
In fact, he clenched his hands into fists behind his back, eagerly awaiting their answer.
"We believe in the Dali Temple's investigation results." Xu Jue said.
That's what they said last time.
Believe in the results, it's much better than those who think he did it.
No matter how heartless Zhao Jingxuan is, it is impossible for him not to care about such things.
When those people said that Shen Wenhan was poisoned to death by him, he felt wronged and sad.
He has always been brave enough to take responsibility for his actions, so he would never harm others secretly!
He also hopes that someone will believe him and speak for him.
He didn't expect that the people who spoke for him in the end were his two enemies.
"If you didn't do it, you don't have to be too sad. The innocent will be cleared, and the Dali Temple will definitely clear your name." Wei Ziang said.
Zhao Jingxuan listened, and for some reason, he felt a little sad, and then nodded heavily.
Actually... Wei Ziang is pretty good.
It was because he believed that the innocent would be cleared, so he came to class every day as usual.
In fact, sometimes he really wanted to back off, didn't want to come to class, and didn't want to listen to those words that wronged him.
However, he cannot retreat. If he retreats, people will think that he is guilty.
Zhao Jingxuan raised his chin, his face proud and proud, and snorted softly: "I know."
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
"Let's go to the dining hall for lunch. Do you want to join us?" Wei Ziang continued to ask.
Zhao Jingxuan paused.
Before, for the sake of the ever-victorious General, he endured humiliation and wanted to have dinner with them, but was ridiculed by Wei Ziang and Xu Jue.
Now, when I am excluded by everyone, they are willing to have meals with me.
Only when you are at your lowest point can you see the true heart.
Zhao Jingxuan wanted to nod, but then he changed his mind and decided not to.
In everyone's mind, he is now a big villain who bullies others by taking advantage of his power. If Xu Jue and Wei Ziang get too close to him, they might also be spoken ill of by others.
He couldn't let them get involved.
"The food in the dining hall is terrible. My servant bought me some food."
Zhao Jingxuan waved to them with his back and walked forward.
Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty." Madam Zheng looked at Concubine Liang worriedly.
Everything that happened outside the palace naturally reached Concubine Liang's ears.
Concubine Liang remained silent, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Your Highness, do you think that person could have done this?" Madam Zheng continued. "This kills two birds with one stone, ruining both Your Highness's reputation and Lord Liang's. Their intentions are sinister and they deserve death."
Concubine Liang scoffed, "Who else could it be if not them? Zhao Shu was dismissed from his post and confined to his home to reflect on his mistakes due to the Qi'antai incident. This has left a lingering grudge in Your Majesty's heart, and he's temporarily out of the running for the crown prince position. Jing Xuan is the most likely candidate for the crown prince, so they'll naturally take action."
"Your Majesty, should we bring His Highness back? He must be in a difficult situation in the Imperial College, having to endure the rumors and gossip."
Concubine Liang looked at her and asked, "Did that boy ask you to plead for him?"
Madam Zheng quickly shook her head: "No, I just feel sorry for Your Highness."
"If you can't even stand this little bit of grievance, how are you going to achieve anything great in the future?" Concubine Liang said nonchalantly.
Nanny Zheng could only swallow what she was about to say. In fact, the queen was very worried about the prince. She tossed and turned last night and couldn't sleep the whole night.
She knew that the queen also wanted to bring His Highness back.
But, it’s not up to us at all.
If Your Highness does not grow up, you will suffer more in the future.
There was a knock on the door, and someone outside said, "My Lady."
"What's the matter?" asked Concubine Liang.
"The prince has sent a letter." said the person outside.
Concubine Liang stood up suddenly, then calmed down and sat down after a moment.
"Bring the letter in."
Nanny Zheng took the letter and handed it to Concubine Liang.
Concubine Liang held the letter but did not open it.
"Do you think that in this whole letter from that brat, half of it would be begging to go back to the palace and refusing to stay in the Imperial College?" Concubine Liang said with a smile.
Nanny Zheng thought it was very likely.
Your Highness has been pampered, how could he have ever suffered such an injustice?
Princess Liang took a deep breath and warned herself not to be soft-hearted before opening the letter.
As a result, the content of the letter surprised her.
Jing Xuan didn't mention coming back, but just chattered about what he had done throughout the day, acting like he had worked very hard, and asked her to take good care of the ever-victorious general.
"This heartless boy is still thinking about his ever-victorious general." Concubine Liang said with a smile.
At the end of the letter, she also mentioned Xu Jue and Wei Ziang, saying how the two bullied him and complained to her.
After making the complaint, he added that Xu Jue and Wei Ziang were not completely useless, and even invited him to have dinner with them.
She knew Jing Xuan. He would never waste words to mention people he disliked. The fact that he talked so much about them must mean that he liked them very much.
Concubine Liang read the letter over and over again before carefully folding it and asking Nanny Zheng to put it away.
"Jingxuan has really grown up a bit."
He didn't mention coming back, didn't try to escape, and faced it all head on. This child has really grown up.
"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to investigate this matter?" asked Madam Zheng.
"No need. The Dali Temple is investigating this case. If we interfere, it will only be superfluous." Princess Liang said.
Prince Rui's Palace.
Zhao Shu was dismissed from his post and lived a leisurely life, reflecting on his mistakes at home.
He wore a loose robe and spent his days reading and fishing, contentedly enjoying himself.
When he returned to the yard and saw Jinse, he was delighted and waved to her.
"Princess, come here."
Jinse walked over.
"Look at the fish I caught." Zhao Shu said.
The servant behind him was holding a bucket with fish in it.
Jinse leaned over and looked at the swimming fish, her eyes shining.
"Your Majesty is truly amazing."
"These fish have very few shark fins, so I'll make soup for you." Zhao Shu said.
Jinse felt sweet in her heart.
No amount of gold, silver, or jewelry can compare to true love.
These fish were caught one by one by the prince, which shows his sincerity.
"Your Highness, you treat me so well." Jinse said shyly.
"You are my wife. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?" Zhao Shu hugged her and kissed her on the face.
Jinse and Zhao Shu were intimate for a while, then returned to their own yard.
After closing the door, Jinse's face was still filled with uncontrollable happiness.
She knew what the prince wanted, so she would do her best to help him get to that position.
She listened to the servants report the situation outside.
Zhao Jingxuan and Liang Yu have now become the target of public criticism, and this matter will definitely alarm the emperor.
Her plan of killing two birds with one stone was successful, but she wanted to kill three birds with one stone.
The corner of Jinse’s mouth curled up into a sinister smile: “Tell Shen Yangshi to let her do one more thing…”
