Chapter 2 We who work in systems cannot have it all!
After Eunuch Changshun's voice fell, no one spoke in the courtyard.
Emperor Mingze's ears were not peaceful.
007 is taking the time to give Jiang Yingcheng a background introduction to this book.
[Emperor Mingze, the youngest emperor in the history of Darui, is also the emperor who has the most profound influence on later generations. 】
[During his 16 years in office, he successfully expanded the territory of Da Rui to three times its original size, but his methods were harsh and his treatment of prisoners of war was even more vicious and cruel. Therefore, although he had the merit of expanding the territory, his life was full of disgrace. ]
What the system said was like a breeze passing by her ears. It just turned around lightly and then dissipated without leaving any trace.
Jiang Yingcheng whispered to 007: [But he is so handsome. ]
007 didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to this: [What? ]
Jiang Yingcheng tried to reason with 007: [We are in charge of the system, we can’t have it all! My father is already so handsome, why is it that he is a little harsher!]
007 was speechless and disappeared for a long time. It was not until Jiang Yingcheng called it several times in his mind that it reappeared: [Let’s talk business.]
[Today, the person who pushed you hastily got a cufflink caught by your hair ornament. It is in the snow behind the stone steps. You will find a chance to find it later to prove the innocence of the Seventh Prince... Are you listening? ]
After 007 finished speaking, he realized that Jiang Yingcheng's attention was not here. Her little head was swaying back and forth between Emperor Mingze and the Seventh Prince. She only nodded repeatedly until it asked him a question.
Jiang Yingcheng said perfunctorily: [Yeah, yeah, yeah, I heard it.]
[The person who pushed me dropped his cufflinks into the snow. If we find them, we can prove Qi Ge's innocence.]
Originally, she was planning to tell Emperor Mingze that she fell accidentally, but now that there was a better way, she felt much more at ease.
The only difficulty now is that the Fourth Prince's mother's family is of noble status, which is not comparable to that of her "mother". If they offend her rashly, both of them will have a hard time in the palace in the future.
She had to find a way to reveal this matter to her father without leaving any trace.
Just as I was thinking about it, the voice of Emperor Mingze, who had been silent for a long time, came from above my head.
"Changshun," he said in a cool and pleasant voice, "Send someone to search the surrounding snow carefully to see if there are any clues."
Eunuch Changshun was stunned for a moment, then responded very quickly: "Yes."
After saying this, he ordered the men to disperse and search carefully inch by inch around the stone steps.
Jiang Yingcheng was ecstatic and kept flattering me as if they were free.
[Ahhh, my father is so awesome! ]
[He is handsome and wise, worthy of being an emperor who will be praised for thousands of years! ]
[Father is so awesome! Cheng Cheng wants to hold up a banner for Father! ]
Emperor Mingze suppressed the emotions in his half-closed eyes, and rubbed his hands lightly under his wide sleeves twice, temporarily suppressing the doubts in his heart.
The idea of being able to hear the inner voices of young children is absurd in itself, and it is absolutely unacceptable to believe it without verifying its authenticity.
only......
Emperor Mingze's eyes passed over his daughter who was oozing with weirdness, and went straight to Jiang Huaian and Jiang Xingran who were kneeling behind her.
Jiang Xingran's face was calm, as if what was happening around him did not affect him at all. It was just that there was a hint of hesitation when his eyes occasionally passed over Jiang Yingcheng.
I wonder if he can also hear Jiang Yingcheng's thoughts.
Jiang Huaian's expression is much easier to understand.
His face was pale, his expression was tense, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on the corners of his forehead at an inopportune time.
It was almost as if the words "he did it" were written on his face.
While the eunuchs were searching in the snow, Jiang Yingcheng was still speaking in his mind in words that not all of him could understand.
[Wow wow wow! My father is so beautiful. Oh no, my father is so handsome. He is as handsome as Pan An. He is as beautiful as a lily and a jade tree. I am so happy! ]
[But then again, why did my father die young? ]
Emperor Mingze could not help but listen carefully.
His daughter seemed to be talking to someone, but he couldn't hear the other side of the conversation.
【ah?】
Jiang Yingcheng seemed quite shocked by what the other party said.
[He was overly worried and overworked, and he was already ill. He didn't have many years left to live, and he was poisoned by a villain? 】
Emperor Mingze's heart sank slightly.
The first two situations she mentioned were consistent with the judgment of the imperial physician. If the cufflink could be found in the snow later, he would really need to consider carefully how to treat his daughter.
Jiang Yingcheng was still chatting with 007 in his mind without noticing: [But my father is so powerful, who wants to deal with my beautiful father! ]
Emperor Mingze's gaze froze when he fell on Jiang Huaian, and he thought to himself that he would find an opportunity to teach his little daughter how to respect her father in daily life. His eavesdropping became more focused.
He also wanted to know who on earth could be so connected.
007 replied: [It was the enemy general who poisoned him, but it was the Fourth Prince who put the poison into the palace.]
Jiang Yingcheng suddenly stomped her feet as if she was extremely angry, which instantly attracted everyone's attention, but she herself seemed to be oblivious.
To everyone, this scene was like a cute little ball of ice and snow who suddenly got angry with someone and kicked the snow under her feet to vent her anger. The splashing snowflakes sprinkled on her shoes. Her movements were childish and naive, but they made her look especially cute.
Emperor Mingze knew why she did this.
[How could that person be so mean!] Jiang Yingcheng's voice was so soft that even when she was angry, she sounded like she was acting coquettishly. [No, I want to make a windproof little cotton jacket for my dad!]
The way he was addressed changed several times in just a few breaths, but strangely he didn't feel angry.
It was the first time that Emperor Mingze faced his young daughter's inner thoughts, and he found it somewhat novel.
Jiang Yingcheng's angry voice was heard in his ears. Although this voice in his mind did not directly point out who the murderer was, it made him feel a little better.
That’s it.
If what she said in her heart was true, he would always be able to get the answer he wanted in the future.
Just as this thought came to mind, the people exploring in the snow behind him finally made a discovery.
The person who found the evidence quickly handed the things to Changshun, who then handed them to Emperor Mingze.
Chang Shun said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is what I just found in the snow."
Emperor Mingze did not extend his hand from his cloak, he just glanced at Changshun's hand.
It was indeed a cufflink, a uniform pattern worn on the eunuchs' uniforms in the palace, exactly the same as what he heard in his mind.
Emperor Mingze raised his head, but before he could say anything, one of the people kneeling on the ground began to tremble uncontrollably.
His eyes suddenly sank.
It seems that what this snowball said is true.
