Chapter 45 A Book of Evidence
The Queen continued, "General An has secretly taken a lot of advantage from me over the years. This book records all the things he has done. As a daughter, you should also take a look. After all, each of them is a serious crime that will lead to the extermination of the family."
An Yunxi raised her eyebrows, took the book, and then read it carefully.
As soon as she opened the first page, the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
An endless coldness flashed across her eyes, and her murderous intent became stronger and stronger.
Last October, General An deliberately let the criminal go and got 100,000 taels of silver from him
Last May, General An conspired with officials from the Ministry of Revenue while escorting disaster relief silver, deceiving his superiors and subordinates and getting 50,000 taels of silver.
Three months ago, General An assisted Minister Zhou in destroying the evidence that his son had killed a decent girl, and even silenced the witnesses
. This thick book recorded the countless evil things General An had done over the years, which could make him lose his head eight hundred times.
This is her good father!
She knew that General An was not as honest and upright as he looked on the surface, but she didn't expect that he would be so disgusting.
When she thought of the other party's blood flowing in her body, An Yunxi's face turned pale and she even felt like vomiting.
She covered her mouth and vomited a few times.
Seeing her reaction, the queen was very considerate and asked someone to pass her a cup of tea.
"Don't take it too seriously. I promise that only I know about these evidences, and no one else will know about them. As long as you marry me, we will be a family. I can also pretend that the things your father did never happened. What do you think?"
The queen smiled considerately and gently, and it was no different from when she first came here.
An Yunxi pinched the booklet with her fingers, causing wrinkles in it.
It was just a record, and of course there was no other evidence or instructions. The queen must have just told her that she had a handle on their family.
She had to obey.
General An must have known about this.
So he tried every means to get her to continue marrying the prince, because it was related to his official career.
An Yunxi softened her expression and looked at the queen and said, "Once this thing is exposed, the other people involved will definitely not have a good end."
The queen lowered her eyes, "They are just some chess pieces. It doesn't matter if they are abandoned. This palace will not be implicated, but you, General An, are your father after all. Blood is thicker than water, and you can't escape."
An Yunxi narrowed her eyes and looked at the queen: "Your Majesty, you don't seem to give me a choice."
The queen curled her lips, "This palace has always been willing to do anything to achieve its goals. I can give you time to go back and think about it, but at the Spring Banquet at the end of the month, this palace must ask you to give me an answer!"
An Yunxi narrowed her eyes, "What if my answer is still the same at that time?"
"The book with conclusive evidence will be sent to the emperor, and the An family will be confiscated and exterminated. At most, all the men will be executed, and all the women will be reduced to military prostitutes."
An Yunxi clenched her fingers into fists.
She was only given less than a month to think?
The spring banquet held in the palace every year is a big event. All the wives of officials, daughters of rich families, and even the queen mother will be there.
The queen should plan to announce the matter at that time and force her and the prince to be tied together on a boat.
An Yunxi's mind was full of thoughts.
At this moment, a palace maid ran over from outside.
"Your Majesty, the Regent Prince is here, and we can't stop him!"
Before she finished her words, Ling Fengxun had already arrived at the gate of Yu Garden.
An Yunxi's eyes lit up, and the haze that had gathered in her heart instantly dissipated.
The queen also stood up, asked the maids to disperse, and then smiled: "Your Highness is really cautious, but are you afraid that I will do something to Miss An?"
Ling Fengxun said coldly: "It's getting late, I will send Axi home."
The queen chuckled and was not angry: "This is the first time I see your Highness care so much about a woman. I have finished talking to Miss An. Please think about it carefully after you go back. I am waiting for the final good news."
The queen said the last two sentences in a slightly lowered voice.
There was a hidden meaning.
An Yunxi immediately ran to Ling Fengxun.
The book in her hand was crumpled.
"Prince! Are you here to pick me up?"
Ling Fengxun lowered his eyes and said, "If I'm not here to pick you up, can this prince pick someone else up?"
An Yunxi's eyes curved, and she was in a good mood.
Ling Fengxun looked An Yunxi up and down, "The queen didn't do anything to you, did she?"
An Yunxi shook her head and handed the booklet in her hand directly to the other party.
"No, she just gave me this thing."
Ling Fengxun just opened it and took a look, and his expression instantly became solemn.
He knew what this booklet represented!
"Axi, how can you show this thing to others casually?"
An Yunxi said, "Show it to the prince, I'm not afraid."
This thing is not unique. If you hide it and don't tell Ling Fengxun, and take everything on yourself, that would be stupid.
In the end, both sides will suffer.
She said that she didn't want to have any more misunderstandings with Ling Fengxun, so if she really encountered any problems, she would solve them together with him.
"Prince, do you have any ideas?"
