Chapter 407 The Truth
Qin Jinzhi looked at Wang Wei kneeling on the ground and said, "This princess must take this man away."
Wei Ziming immediately replied, "Of course."
Qin Jinzhi looked at Wei Ziming, "Governor Wei, you only have one chance, I hope you can seize it."
Wei Ziming lowered his head. "Your subject understands."
The door was pushed open, and Yun Jin took Wang Wei away, while Yun Que followed Qin Jinzhi.
As Wei Ziming saw Qin Jinzhi off, he suddenly stepped forward to Qin Jinzhi's left front.
"Princess, I have another matter to discuss."
Qin Jinzhi and Yun Que exchanged a brief glance before turning to Wei Ziming.
"explain."
Wei Ziming spoke up: "My nephew was greedy for merit and acted rashly, offending the princess. I would like to apologize to the princess on his behalf, and I hope the princess will forgive him for this time."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and looked at Wei Ziming, "Wei Jiedushi, you are really interesting."
With that, the two strode away.
As soon as he boarded the carriage, Yun Que gestured and said that there was murderous intent in the direction that Wei Ziming had blocked.
Qin Jinzhi lifted the carriage curtain. "Xiao Yuanyi is in the Wei residence. She dreams of killing me."
Yun Que frowned. What exactly was Wei Ziming trying to do?
Xiao Yuanyi returned to the courtyard with a gloomy expression.
Ah Ling's arrow had just been aimed at Qin Jinzhi.
Wei Ziming actually stepped forward and blocked Qin Jinzhi's path.
If she didn't still need the Wei family, she would have shot him dead with an arrow just now!
The courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open.
Wei Ziming walked in with a cold face, "I don't want this to happen again!"
Xiao Yuanyi's face gradually calmed down when she saw Wei Ziming's expression.
"My lord, Qin Jinzhi possesses the aura of an emperor. If the Wei family wishes to achieve hegemony, Qin Jinzhi will be your greatest obstacle. Why are you stopping me from killing her today!"
Wei Ziming's eyes were cold. "This is not something you can decide. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being impolite!"
After saying that, Wei Ziming left Xiao Yuanyi's courtyard.
Gongshu Ling walked out with a frown. "How dare Wei Ziming treat the princess like this? One day I will cut him in two to avenge the princess."
A mocking smile appeared on Xiao Yuanyi's face. "He wants my destiny to rule the world, and he wants Qin Jinzhi to help him conquer the world. Human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. I'll wait and see the day he brings about his own destruction."
Qin Jinzhi returned to the Prince's Mansion and went to Qin Ye's study.
She placed the letter that Wei Ziming had given her on Qin Ye's desk.
Qin Ye looked at Qin Jinzhi, "What is this?"
Qin Jinzhi sat down to one side, "Evidence of Xiao Chengqian conspiring with powerful families to murder my father."
Qin Ye looked puzzled. Wasn't this something he had known for three years?
Qin Jinzhi spoke again, saying, "This was given to me by Wei Ziming, the military governor of Huainan."
Qin Ye looked even more puzzled. "Why did he give you this?"
He really couldn't understand the people in the capital anymore.
Qin Ye shook his head and picked up the teacup.
"He wants me to be emperor."
Qin Ye spat out a mouthful of tea.
"Has he gone mad with greed and despair?"
Qin Jinzhi stepped back.
"Crazy? This Wei Ziming is the most shrewd person I've ever met. He should know that I was poisoned."
Qin Ye frowned, then sneered, "Does he want our Qin family to conquer the world for him? A mere military governor dares to have such delusions!"
Qin Jinzhi calmly said, "The child with the so-called Ziwei Star destiny that Consort Shen secretly switched back then is now in the Wei family."
Qin Ye's eyes also darkened. "How many lives were sacrificed for this peaceful world, and yet these thieves dare to act recklessly!"
Qin Jinzhi looked at Qin Ye, "Grandfather, what were you thinking when you learned the truth back then?"
Qin Ye took a deep breath.
"When I learned the truth back then, my first thought was that I couldn't let the world know the truth about this matter."
At that time, the State of Jin had just been stabilized and was on par with the powerful clans.
If the people knew that those who loudly proclaimed their salvation were killing each other for power, and that the future crown prince was murdering generals, the people would be thrown into chaos.
All the sacrifices and efforts of so many people over the years will be in vain.
As a father, I have failed Ziyi.
How ridiculous that all the parties involved knew the truth about what happened back then.
Xiao Saijin's only son died tragically, and she could not avenge him.
If she were to expose this matter, it would mean she would have to personally push her brother down from his high position.
Her husband had followed His Majesty for many years, but died with resentment in his heart.
Unable to process the resentment and guilt in her heart, Xiao Saijin left for distant lands.
Qin Jinzhi stood up as she looked at the sorrow on Qin Ye's face. "The demons and monsters have lived for far too long. Once the imperial examination is over, I will avenge the dead."
As Qin Ye watched Qin Jinzhi's departing figure, he thought, "Yes, it's time."
When Qin Jinzhi returned to the courtyard, Yue Shu had just come back.
She drank water in large gulps, saying, "I'm so tired."
Qin Jinzhi sat down next to her. "Have you found the person?"
Yue Shu took out the letter from her bosom. "You want to find the addresses of these three people. I asked around with my friends for a long time. What do you want with these three people?"
Qin Jinzhi opened the letter. "Kill them."
At the residence of the Princess of Chu, Huangfu Su frowned. "Has Mr. Fang left?"
A palace maid presented a note that read, "Having found the enemy, Fang Yi bids farewell to the princess and tells her not to worry."
Huangfu Su put the note aside. “Mr. Fang is burdened with a blood feud, so this is enough to ease his pent-up emotions. Send people to find Mr. Fang. If you find him, tell him that the Princess’s residence will always welcome him.”
"yes."
Just as the palace maid was about to leave, Huangfu Su called her back, "How has Lin'er been lately?"
The palace servant said, "The young master is currently staying at the Ninth Prince's residence and has not left the house. Our people haven't seen him leave the residence for a long time."
Huangfu Su sneered upon hearing this. This fool, Huangfu Nanfeng is tricking him into going on another adventure.
"Summon General Xu to see me."
"yes!"
Huangfu Su sat in front of the chessboard.
A soldier who looked extremely brave and fierce walked in.
"Xu Fei pays his respects to the Eldest Princess."
Huangfu Su reached out her hand, "General, would you be interested in playing a game with me?"
Xu Fei hesitated for a moment before saying, "This, I'm afraid..."
Huangfu Su smiled and said, "Could it be that General Xu can be a match for my nephew, but not for me?"
Xu Fei quickly replied, "Your subject dares not! Then I will respectfully comply."
As the two played chess, Huangfu Su casually asked, "I've heard that General Xu's eldest daughter is exceptionally talented and famous throughout the capital. I wonder which young man Madam Xu has taken a liking to?"
Xu Fei placed a chess piece down. "I only have this one daughter, and my wife and I want to keep her in the manor for a few more years."
Huangfu Su smiled and said, "General Xu's love for his daughter is known throughout the court. However, since General Xu's daughter is so outstanding, she is naturally worthy of the most outstanding son."
Xu Fei quickly replied, "Your Highness is too kind."
Huangfu Su looked up at him and asked, "I wonder what rank my nephew gave to General Xu's beloved daughter?"
