Nanny Lai closed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Xie Siheng leaned against the prison door. Although Ji Changying's voice was lowered a lot just now, this distance was nothing for them who practiced martial arts.
When he heard Ji Changying's question, he tightened his grip and looked over with sharp eyes.
Ji Changying sat cross-legged on the ground: "I know that Madam has been with the Majesty for many years. I'm just curious, is it possible that after all these years of getting along, the Majesty hasn't been able to open your heart to her?"
"Ever since she discovered it was you, the Empress couldn't bear the shock and fell ill in bed. Even so, she still instructed the Criminal Investigation Department to spare your life."
"Look at everyone here, who isn't living a life worse than death? The fact that you can still lie here peacefully is all because the Empress cares about the relationship between you two."
"But I didn't expect you to be so heartless. Oh, right! You didn't know that old bald donkey Huiji was the Grand Master of the previous dynasty, and we're going to capture him."
While Ji Changying was talking to Nanny Lai, Yi Neng kept a close eye on her.
Seeing Nanny Lai's fingers move, she understood.
Nanny Lai is indeed connected to Huiji.
"So, it seems that Huiji ordered you to do what happened back then! That prince..."
"What prince?! I don't know what you're talking about! If you came here today just to test my opinion, then I tell you, you're dreaming! You can kill me or chop me up as you please. If you really kill me, I'll thank you."
Nanny Lai interrupted Ji Changying's words in a fierce tone, then closed her eyes with a look of disgust, as if she didn't intend to speak again.
"Such a big reaction? Was I right? Then I'm even more curious about your relationship with Huiji."
Ji Changying stood up and looked down at Nanny Lai lying on the ground.
She originally planned to make the person stupid and then get him to answer whatever he asked, but seeing her like this, Ji Changying changed her mind.
Wouldn't it be too easy for her to make someone stupid?
Fools don’t know what pain is. People who do wrong should suffer!
She had already made decisions about two important things in her mind. She would know the details as long as she investigated. It didn't matter that she had to get the answers from Nanny Lai.
"Let's go, I'm done asking questions."
Ji Changying's face didn't look good either. She stood up and walked outside.
Nanny Lai opened her eyes, a hint of anxiety flashing in them.
Is that all? You haven't asked anything yet. What on earth are you asking? Don't you want to say more?
Say something more!
"My Lady...how is she doing?"
Ji Changying did not answer. Nanny Lai could only watch the prison door being closed. The two of them left without looking back.
She stared at the ceiling in a daze, her mind constantly recollecting the past, and she didn't know whether she felt regret or relief.
If she had not been soft-hearted and had strangled the child to death instead of secretly putting her in a basket and letting it flow down the moat to give her a chance to survive, perhaps what happened today would not have been exposed.
But if I really did that back then, I would really be sorry for the friendship that we had with the Empress...
"Did you hear what I just asked?"
Ji Changying knew that that distance was not enough to stop Xie Siheng, so she was not surprised that he could hear it.
Xie Siheng’s silence is the best answer.
"It's not that others can't think of this problem, but they dare not think about it, right? Do you think the Emperor and the Empress have ever thought about this problem?"
When a country's crown prince is replaced by someone else, it will shake the foundation of the country.
Although the prince is dead, if this matter were to be exposed, I am afraid that the entire court would be in turmoil.
The princes fighting for power will probably become more enthusiastic, and those who were originally neutral and waiting for the emperor to make a decision will probably also doubt whether the emperor's decision is right or wrong, so as to make plans for themselves in advance.
"It doesn't matter whether you've thought about it or not. What matters is whether it's true or not. If this is true, then the consequences now..."
The two couldn't even imagine it.
However, if they wanted to verify the matter, they could only start from the palace, and even have to investigate from the place where he was born. It was impossible not to alarm Emperor Mingde and the Empress.
Ji Changying was silent. The queen had been bedridden before, and Nanny Lai's betrayal was already a blow to her. If she knew that her son might not be her biological son, what kind of blow would that be?
Xie Siheng was silent for a while, "Don't worry too much, His Majesty will consider it."
The news here should have reached the ears of Emperor Mingde within an incense stick of time...
After hearing the report from the Dragon Shadow Guard, Emperor Mingde slumped on the dragon throne and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
They waited until it was pitch dark outside, and Eunuch Liu carefully led his men into the hall to light the lamps, but Emperor Mingde did not move at all.
"Your Majesty, the little prince and the little prince are here to see you. Do you want to see them?"
Under tremendous psychological pressure, Eunuch Liu hesitated for a moment before asking.
Hearing about the emperor's grandson and the young prince, Emperor Mingde moved his hands and said in a somewhat obscure voice: "Let them in."
Zhongli Tao and Ji Changchuan walked into the hall together.
Seeing Emperor Mingde at the head of the table, the two men bowed first, and then Zhongli Tao ran up to Emperor Mingde and said with a bit of trepidation amidst his excitement: "Grandfather, I got into a fight today!"
Eunuch Liu's eyelids twitched, and then he took a closer look at the two of them.
I found that although they had tidied their clothes before coming, I could still vaguely see that their hair was crooked, their clothes were not put on properly, and the corners of the little prince's mouth were a little purple...
Eunuch Liu twitched his lips. He is still young after all!
After Zhongli Tao finished speaking, he saw that Emperor Mingde was no longer as concerned about him as before. Instead, he looked at him with a strange look. For a moment, he was a little scared and pulled at Emperor Mingde's sleeve: "Grandfather, are you angry?"
Upon seeing this, Ji Changchuan quickly stepped forward to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I was the one who first attacked the Fourth Imperial Grandson. The Youngest Imperial Grandson had nothing to do with it! Everyone has their own actions and responsibilities."
Emperor Mingde looked at the tension on the two men's faces and finally came back to his senses from the desire to kill everyone. "Tell me, why are you fighting?"
"It was the Fourth Grandson who scolded my mother and father first. I couldn't help but hit him. The Young Grandson couldn't bear to see me alone and helpless, so he stepped in to help me out."
Although those princes lived a life of luxury, they had learned martial arts, riding and archery since childhood and were not weak in fighting.
Ji Changchuan happened to grow up in the countryside and was stronger than them. Moreover, because Ji Changying was always bullied before, Ji Changchuan had fought with other children many times, so he also developed the skills.
The guards and servants on both sides did not dare to step forward to help. They could only call the tutor over and persuade them while watching them fight each other.
Finally, King Xuan's son even threatened to make Ji Changchuan's father pay the price.
What would Ji Changchuan do when he heard this?
I'm going to find your father's father and see who listens to whom!
