Chapter 506 Finale 5
The next day, at dawn, Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan, who had been busy all night, slowly opened their eyes.
Even though both of them were very tired and severely sleep-deprived.
However, the moment they opened their eyes and saw each other, they both felt refreshed.
Afterwards, the two dressed neatly and went to the morning court hand in hand.
During this morning court session, the two of them cooperated well and quickly handled all the matters, ending the morning court session swiftly.
The court officials obeyed the two men's orders and were very respectful to them.
It was only after the morning court session ended that Gu Jingchun told Shen Hechuan about Jiang Chongfan.
When Chen Hechuan did not see Jiang Chongfan at the morning court, he had already guessed that Jiang Chongfan might have committed a crime.
However, he did not expect that someone in the Jiang family had connections with Da Qi, and he immediately became furious.
Gu Jingchun looked at him and handed the letter he had received before to Shen Hechuan.
After reading the letter, Shen Hechuan stood up and looked at Gu Jingchun in disbelief.
"Is this...is everything above true?"
Gu Jingchun did not answer, but stood up as well.
"Whether it's true or not, just test it out and you'll know."
As he said that, he led Shen Hechuan to the prison.
At this time, Jiang Chongfan no longer had the dignity and indignation he had when he first came in.
Now he looks much more disheveled, and his face looks more haggard.
When the Jiang family first came in, they were able to remain calm and decent, and even fantasized that all this was just a false alarm and they would be able to get out soon.
However, as time passed.
The Jiang family's hopes gradually faded, and everyone began to get restless.
The superficial harmony was gradually broken, and mutual accusations became the norm.
Jiang Chongfan also continued to comfort them, but now they have become prisoners, so his words are greatly reduced in value.
Naturally, others are unwilling to obey.
Jiang Chongfan was old, so naturally he couldn't hold back his anger and became sick from anger.
When Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan arrived, Jiang Chongfan's health had just improved a little.
When he saw Shen Hechuan coming back, he struggled to get up and knelt down.
"His Majesty……"
"You are finally back, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Chongfan said this, bowed his head, and then spoke sadly.
"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of your trust. I am guilty!"
Jiang Chongfan looked at Chen Hechuan and took a step forward on his knees.
"Your Majesty, I was not a good parent and was instigated by someone with ulterior motives, which led me to do something wrong.
Thanks to the Queen Mother's timely discovery, no serious mistake was made.
Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Chen Hechuan looked at Jiang Chongfan, looking at his grandfather.
I just feel complicated.
As his mother's last relative in this world, he has always been tolerant towards Jiang Chongfan.
Even though we knew his little thoughts over the years, we never really punished him.
But now...
"Grandfather, before I left Tiandu, I told you from the bottom of my heart that I hope you can assist the Queen well.
But how do you do it?"
"They bribed the court officials and openly opposed the Empress, causing chaos in the court and preventing the implementation of relevant orders, thus affecting the peace and stability of the people.
Grandfather, I want to ask you, what do you want to do?"
Jiang Chongfan knelt on the ground and quickly retorted:
"Your Majesty, everything I have done is truly for Dacheng. Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for women ruling the court in Dacheng!"
"Then I have a precedent here!"
Shen Hechuan shouted angrily!
"In short, you are just questioning my actions. So, I want to ask you, who is the emperor of Dacheng, me or you, Jiang Chongfan?"
Jiang Chongfan leaned over quickly.
"Of course, Your Majesty!"
"Then why don't you listen to me?!"
"Why don't you obey the Queen's orders?!"
"Privately winning over court officials, how is that different from treason?"
"You intend to rebel, and your son is colluding with the Great Qi. Good, really good!"
"If the Queen Mother knew that her own family had done such a thing, she would probably be even more ashamed!"
Jiang Chongfan knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please, for the sake of the late Queen, spare the lives of our Jiang family!"
"After all, Qingshan was not good at judging people, but all the members of our Jiang family are innocent. Your Majesty, please show some mercy and let them go!"
Jiang Qingshan, who had been kneeling on the ground, sat down on the ground powerlessly after hearing this, sobbing helplessly.
But Chen Hechuan didn't even look at him, but continued to focus his eyes on Jiang Chongfan.
"Jiang Chongfan, if the Queen Mother knew that you were responsible for the death of the former Crown Prince and her friend, do you think she would let me go easy on you?"
Jiang Chongfan suddenly raised his head when he heard this, looked at Chen Hechuan in disbelief, and spoke reflexively.
"How do you know this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chongfan knew that he had said the wrong thing and quickly lowered his head.
"Your Majesty, I, this old minister...I don't know what you mean by this."
When Shen Hechuan heard his reaction just now, he knew that everything in the letter was true.
Suddenly, I felt suffocated.
Seeing that Shen Hechuan looked pale, Gu Jingchun quickly stepped forward and gently held his hand to comfort him.
Shen Hechuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and retorted Gu Jingchun's hand, then looked at Jiang Chongfan.
"Grandfather, my mother and I trusted you so much, but none of us could have imagined that you... would actually do such a thing."
"No wonder you never dared to come back when our mother was still alive."
Shen Hechuan closed his eyes.
But Jiang Chongfan suddenly raised his head, and his old voice became louder in an instant.
“I did nothing wrong!”
Jiang Chongfan shouted angrily.
“Why do I do all this?”
"It's not just for our Jiang family, but also for you!"
"If I hadn't discovered Shen Wanshan's feelings for Jiang Xianhao back then and encouraged him to take this step, would Jiang Xianhao have become the queen?"
"If Jiang Xianhao hadn't become the queen, would you have your current status?"
Jiang Chongfan said this, slowly stood up, and laughed out loud with his head tilted back.
"So, I did nothing wrong, and you should thank me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be who you are today!"
Shen Hechuan frowned slightly.
"You are really stubborn!!"
Jiang Chongfan retorted.
"No, I'm not wrong!"
"I discovered that year that Li Wenci was too kind. Even if he had become the emperor at that time, he would not have been able to deal with the riots at that time."
"And that woman who appeared out of nowhere is even more of an obstacle.
"If it weren't for him, how could Li Wenci suddenly dislike your mother?"
