Chapter 398 It’s Retribution
"You can call me whatever you want." The eldest princess's face was calm without any ripples, and her tone was also light.
"I will let everyone know the truth tomorrow. I hope you can do what you promised." Jiang Yunxi said and stood up to leave.
The eldest princess looked at her back with a thoughtful look on her face.
That afternoon.
Jiang Yunxi asked Zhan Luochen and the others to buy some dry food and some daily necessities. After getting the body parts, they immediately left the Tianqi Imperial Capital, although she didn't know where the next piece of body parts would be.
But if we get the piece of the body from the Tianqi Imperial Capital, we can guess where the other three pieces are.
The next day.
The Minister of Justice, the Minister of the Supreme Court, and the Prefect of Jingzhao all came to the Princess's residence, as well as Nanny Chang from the palace. Even Emperor Tianqi arranged for a eunuch to come.
Eunuch Xu walked up to the eldest princess and bowed. The emperor had specially arranged for him to come.
The series of deaths in the Princess's Mansion has caused a lot of uproar. The Emperor has been paying attention to it. After all, she is his own sister, although some very strange things have happened at the border.
Originally, Tianqi had already captured Pingyang City of Tenglong Kingdom.
But a few days ago, news came from the border that the 30,000 soldiers led by General Zheng had disappeared, and Pingyang City was taken back by the Tenglong Kingdom. This incident also caused an uproar in the court.
"Miss Yun, everyone is here, it's time for you to tell me who the murderer is." The eldest princess looked at Jiang Yunxi.
Everyone present looked at Jiang Yunxi. They all wanted to know who the murderer was and why he was so cruel to kill so many people, but did not kill them cruelly, but let them go peacefully.
"This story begins fifty-eight years ago, when the eldest princess was born." Jiang Yunxi said lightly.
"Miss Yun, why do you have to start from the year my grandmother was born?" Shen Yutang's face was full of confusion. Her grandmother was just born that year, and she couldn't offend anyone and cause the current trouble.
Jiang Yunxi looked at her and said, "This matter is a bit complicated. The eldest princess was sent away to be raised after she was born."
Mrs. Shen was shocked, "Why send it away to be raised?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The eldest princess is a princess, how could she be sent away to be raised!" The Minister of Justice said in a deep voice with a dark face. He saw that she had not found the murderer at all and was making up stories to fool people.
"She is right. After I was born, I was indeed sent away to be raised. My mother found another baby girl to raise in the palace. No one else knows about this." The eldest princess said lightly.
"What's going on?" the Minister of Justice asked in shock.
The Dali Temple Minister and Jingzhao Yin were confused.
The people of the Shen family were even more surprised, as they had never heard of it.
"After being sent out of the capital, the princess went to the Fu family and became Miss Fu Ying. She was frail and sickly since childhood. The Fu family took great care of her, and the palace often sent people to deliver various medicines, but they still couldn't cure her illness."
"Two months before she turned fifteen and became a 15-year-old princess, she died in the valley where she was recuperating. She was murdered," Jiang Yunxi said.
Everyone: “…”
That is to say, the eldest princess died forty-three years ago. If the eldest princess died then, who is the eldest princess now?
“Miss Yun, what are you talking about? If the eldest princess died, then the eldest princess in front of us now…” Madam Shen’s face changed drastically. If the person in front of her was not the eldest princess, then the descendants of the Shen family would not have royal blood.
"If the eldest princess is really dead, then the eldest princess in front of us must be an imposter." Jiang Jingyan said. This is easy to guess, but who is the murderer?
Jiang Yunxi continued, "When the eldest princess was thirteen, she adopted a woman of similar age named Qingshang. After the eldest princess died, Qingshang became the eldest princess."
"This Qingshang is so bold! How dare she pretend to be the eldest princess!" the Dali Temple Minister said angrily. That was the eldest princess favored by both the emperor and the empress.
"That's not right. The Emperor and the Empress doted on the eldest princess so much, why did they send her away to be raised since she was born?" Jingzhao Yin's face was full of confusion. He must have heard some big secret today.
Shen Yutang was shocked. In other words, her grandmother was not the eldest princess, but a fake. They had no blood relationship with the royal family. How could this be?
Jiang Yunxi looked at the Dali Temple Minister and Jingzhao Yin, "I will answer your questions together."
"Although the princess was born in winter, on the day she was born, dead trees came back to life and flowers blossomed..."
"That's right. This incident caused quite a sensation at the time. Everyone said that the eldest princess was blessed with good fortune. Perhaps because of this, the emperor and empress doted on her so much." The Minister of Justice interrupted Jiang Yunxi.
He knew about this.
Therefore, the eldest princess has a very high status in Tianqi.
"Since she is a lucky star, why did you send the eldest princess away to be raised?" Zhan Luochen touched his chin. Could there be another conspiracy?
"Because someone told the Emperor and Empress that the eldest princess must be sent south to be raised, otherwise she would die young. The royal family finally got a lucky star, and the Emperor immediately found a home for the eldest princess, which is the Fu family."
"Then they found a baby girl to be the eldest princess and raised her in the palace, letting the world know that Fuxing is in the palace." Jiang Yunxi said lightly.
"Everything Miss Yun said is true." Nanny Chang said. She told her this yesterday.
Everyone: “…”
Madam Shen's face turned pale and she stammered, "So, the Shen family's children have no relationship with the royal family?"
Nanny Chang looked at her coldly, gritting her teeth and saying, "That Qing Shang came back pretending to be the eldest princess. Your descendants of the Shen family are not of royal blood. You Shen family members deserve to die. This is karma!"
As she spoke, anger burned all over her body.
At first, she followed the eldest princess to the Fu family and became her wet nurse. After the wet nurse at the Fu family got used to the situation, she returned to the palace. After that, she would visit the Fu family every year.
"This Qing Shang is so heartless. Fu Ying was so kind to pick her up, but she actually usurped the position of the eldest princess." Qian Heng cursed indignantly.
"He is such a inhuman being. Does he have any conscience?" Chu Leyi looked at the eldest princess when she said this. She understood that she was Qing Shang, and now someone was avenging the eldest princess.
That’s why people keep dying in the Shen family.
"Qing Shang was deliberately arranged by someone to appear in front of Fu Ying. The other party knew that Fu Ying was kind and would take her back. The other party sent Qing Shang to Fu Ying in order to replace her in the future."
"Because this person doesn't want the eldest princess to return to the palace, this person is probably the one who suggested that the emperor and empress send the eldest princess away." Jiang Yunxi expressed her guess.
On the day the eldest princess was born, dead trees came back to life in spring and flowers bloomed.
All these are enough to prove that her origin is not simple.
That person was probably afraid that she would do something bad in the future, so he deliberately prevented her from staying in the capital, and finally let Qing Shang return to the capital in her place.
"It was the Imperial Master who proposed it," said Nanny Chang.
