"I have never understood why the late queen had to kill a person who lived in the cold palace. Therefore, over the years, I have been secretly investigating the real cause of my mother's death."
Xiao Yuqi took out a secret letter from his arms.
"Later, I found this out."
It was a handwritten letter from Xiao Linshen.
The yellowed paper was not burned by the fire.
Most of the rest.
I could barely make out a few words.
What struck Xiao Yuqi the most was the four big words "Yin killed him".
"This is the handwriting of my uncle. Even if it turns to ashes, I can recognize it."
Xiao Yuqi threw the letter to Xiao Linshen.
...
...
Paper flutters.
For a moment, it seemed as if Xiao Linshen was pulled back to the day more than ten years ago when Yin committed suicide to prove his innocence.
She was wearing a plain dress and no makeup.
Even if he was humiliated and knelt on the ground, his back would rather break than bend, which made him look even more elegant and graceful.
Years of confinement in the cold palace had no effect on her at all.
She is as elegant and charming as always.
Indifferent and unworldly.
Like a lotus blooming in the mud.
Bright flowers can bloom even in the mud.
Yin Luowan.
A woman who, with just one glance, made him unforgettable in his life.
"Uncle, can you give me an explanation? Why must my mother die?"
An abandoned concubine in the cold palace whose mother's family is not prominent and who is unpopular.
How did it offend others?
Must she die?
"Aqi, things in this world are not just black and white. You and I both have things we can't help and people we can't help. You should let go of those old things."
"lay down?"
Xiao Yuqi just wanted to laugh.
You think you can offset his years of resentment with just two casual words?
How can there be such a cheap thing in this world?
"The one you killed was my mother."
Just one sentence and you will know.
There was no way Xiao Yuqi could let it go.
"I know that the emperor's uncle is not afraid of life and death, but does the emperor's uncle not care about the life and death of the man in Lujiaoxiang?"
Xiao Linshen looked up in surprise.
"How do you know?"
A cruel smile appeared on Xiao Yuqi's face.
"The revenge for my mother's murder is something I will never forget. My uncle really doesn't want to reveal the truth, and I won't force him. I will just exchange my life for yours, and blood debt will be paid with blood."
He turned and tried to leave.
Xiao Linshen broke his usual calmness.
Desperately wanting to catch up with Xiao Yuqi.
But he overestimated his current physical condition.
Xiao Linshen's legs went weak and he rolled off the couch.
All I could do was shout hoarsely, "No, don't hurt him."
"I am willing to agree to all your requests, but I ask you not to hurt him."
"Uncle, you know that I will find a result for what I want to do, even if I get hurt."
Xiao Linshen propped himself up and sat on the ground.
"Your Majesty, do you insist on doing this?"
"I insist on doing so."
Xiao Linshen suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Wanwan, he is indeed your son. His temperament is exactly the same as yours!"
He staggered and stood up by holding the edge of the bed.
His skinny body was covered with his old clothes, which were empty and looked even thinner.
"Since Your Majesty is determined to do so, then you and I are destined to have difficulty coexisting. I will no longer ask for Your Majesty's antidote. Your Majesty, take care of yourself."
There was determination on his sick face.
Xiao Yuqi knew.
From then on, he and his uncle became enemies.
The imperial coup has officially begun from today.
"I thought the uncle valued the man in Lujiaoxiang very much, but now it seems that he is just so-so. However, if the queen mother knew that you gave up protecting the man in Lujiaoxiang for an old matter, how would she feel?"
There is no indestructible alliance in this world. People’s hearts are changeable and everything depends on human efforts.
In the end, Xiao Yuqi did not take out the antidote he had prepared.
Leave the Regent's Palace.
Xiao Yuqi went to an extremely ordinary courtyard.
It was a commoner's house with a secret passage inside that connected to the real Tianji Tower.
The shark oil lamp illuminated the secret passage.
Tianshu was the first to meet him and followed closely behind.
"Just now I entered the Prince Regent's Palace. Have you checked clearly how many troops are hidden in the Prince Regent's Palace?"
Xiao Yuqi went to Xiao Linshen tonight to find out Xiao Linshen's background.
Xiao Linshen has a team of personal guards under his command.
If it weren't for the time when he was shot by an arrow, Xiao Linshen would have been caught off guard.
Let him fall into the trap accidentally.
Under normal circumstances, the pair of personal guards would be able to take precautions long before Xiao Yuqi made a move, so it would be impossible for Xiao Yuqi to hurt him.
Tianshu said: "I have checked it out. All the maids and servants in the Regent's Mansion are highly skilled in martial arts. If you count carefully, all the soldiers, both openly and secretly, should number in the thousands."
Tianshu said that string of shocking numbers.
"As soon as your majesty left the palace, you were spotted by the regent's spies. Your majesty, your action was too rash. If the prince has the intention to kill you, you are in danger now."
"The antidote is still in my hands, so he doesn't dare to take action."
"Your Majesty should be more careful."
In the secret room of Tianji Tower, Xiao Yuqi took the lead in bringing out the actual information about the drought in Jiangnan this year.
When court officials submitted memorials, most of them concealed the truth and reported false information.
With the previous experience in the North, Xiao Yuqi was extra cautious about such things.
really.
The money allocated by the imperial court for the construction of the dam was embezzled at every level, and eventually, the people who carried soil and built the dam became free laborers.
The package does not include any meal.
Not a penny of the money that the people deserved fell into their pockets.
If we build a canal...
"You should prepare a list of available people in the court as soon as possible and send it to the palace. We still need to pay close attention to the northern border. Tomorrow, I will implement a new policy. At that time, you will need to pay more attention to the supervision of all officials."
"Yes, these are all my duties."
Xiao Yuqi was still reading the confidential documents.
Those noble families have always been good at forming groups.
It is not easy to defeat them one by one.
Xiao Yuqi suddenly asked, "Are there any results at the gambling house?"
Tianshu took out a roll of bamboo slips.
"This is the person who has entered the net. Your Majesty, please take a look."
The bamboo slips were gently placed in front of Xiao Yuqi.
Tianshu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't help himself.
With a plop, he knelt in front of Xiao Yuqi.
Xiao Yuqi was reading bamboo slips.
Hearing the sound, he frowned slightly and looked up.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Tao is too erratic. I cannot subdue him!"
He kowtowed.
With tears and snot, he explained everything that happened after Tao Zhou entered Tianji Tower.
"When he first entered the building, his subordinates thought he was a very normal person. He was polite and courteous to others and acted in a reasonable manner. But he was only disguised for one day before his true colors were exposed."
"He first flirted with the sisters under Tianji, and was severely beaten by Tianji. After that, I don't know what he did. In the past two days, Tianji has lost three informants in succession."
Tianshu looked at Xiao Yuqi sadly and continued, "Tianji was furious and reported the matter to me directly. I just said one harsh word and he..."
Tianshu gritted his teeth, seeming to find it difficult to speak.
"He actually..."
