Chapter 214: Nanny Chang's Words
When An Jiu came back to his senses, Jiang Sheng had already left.
The emperor seemed to be thinking about something.
[Madame Chang, it is indeed her! ]
[Why didn't Father allow me to track down the murderer? ]
[Does he not care about his mother's life or death, or is there something else going on? ]
[Could it be…]
The emperor frowned with an unpleasant expression.
What?
Anjiu pricked up his ears.
Come on, tell me! Come on, tell me!
[Could it be that Father really has some relationship with Nanny Chang, so in order to protect her...]
An Jiu's breathing stopped for a moment.
Is this true or false?
So did your father have sex with Nanny Chang???
It is said that the late emperor was also a handsome man. Seeing that he had so many sons, it shows that he was also very capable...
Wait, An Jiu thought again, the late emperor had so many sons, did he have a daughter?
An Jiu has been staying in the palace and finally figured out a few princes, but what about the princesses?
Is there a princess?
If so, why has it never appeared?
An Jiu's thoughts were all over the place, and so was the emperor's. He had been wondering if Nanny Chang had anything to do with the late emperor. If the late emperor really didn't care about his mother's life or death for Nanny Chang...
So……
The emperor stood up.
"Your Majesty, are you going out?" An Jiu got him clothes.
The emperor nodded and said he would go to the prison to ask Nanny Chang in person.
An Jiu hurried to follow.
The prison in the palace is the Ministry of Punishment. It is dark, suffocating and depressing. The ancients reached the pinnacle in terms of punishment. Not to mention being punished, An Jiu felt that he would go crazy if he stayed there for a day.
Nanny Chang was locked in the innermost room. An Ji could hardly recognize her. She was once beautiful and fair-skinned, but now she was covered in wounds and had a bloody face. She had fainted.
Jiang Sheng was eating steamed buns. In such an environment, he was not afraid of getting sick. He ate the buns while reading the interrogation records. There were still some blood spots on his face that had not been wiped clean. However, he had a gentle temperament and looked like a weak little imperial doctor...
It's very perverted...
The emperor coughed dryly.
"Cousin, why are you here?" Jiang Sheng swallowed the bun in two or three bites.
The emperor frowned and said with some disdain: "Can you eat in a place like this?"
Jiang Sheng took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands casually: "I'm hungry, let me eat a couple of bites."
He saw Anjiu again and said, "Xiaojiu is here too. Her new clothes are nice."
It seems that my cousin really likes it and likes it so much that he is almost letting himself go.
The emperor rolled his eyes.
[Jiang Sheng is really becoming more and more perverted. ]
"Did she say that?" the emperor asked Nanny Chang.
"Nothing." Jiang Sheng stood up and opened the door of the cell.
A basin of water was poured over her and Nanny Chang woke up. She opened her eyes and seemed to be in a trance for a moment before she could clearly see the people who came in.
The moment she saw the emperor, she still begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I was really confused for a moment. I only took the butterfly hairpin. I didn't take anything else."
This time, her crying was not beautiful. She curled up on the ground, like an old blanket that was crumpled up and thrown in a corner and covered in mud.
The emperor looked at her expressionlessly, "You said that the butterfly hairpin was given to you by your father, but was taken away by my mother?"
Nanny Chang nodded and said, "I didn't lie. At that time, Concubine Chun and the late emperor were angry, and the late emperor said he would give it to me in order to make her jealous."
In the end, the two of them reconciled, and the hairpin was not given away...
Nanny Chang gets so angry that her teeth itch whenever she thinks about it, Concubine Chun, that bitch!!!
The late emperor clearly had a crush on her.
If it weren't for that bitch, she might have become a queen, and there would be no need to be a servant forever.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "You stole the jade rooster from my bedroom in order to frame Prince Ruyang and the Queen Mother, right? Who ordered you to do that?"
If the emperor hadn't mentioned it, An Jiu would have almost forgotten that someone had stolen a jade carving of a rooster from the emperor, and the target was clearly Prince Ruyang and the Queen Mother.
But later facts proved that Prince Ruyang and the Queen Mother were just shields pushed forward by the people behind the scenes.
The person behind the scenes is very good at killing people by using another’s knife.
Perhaps the death of Concubine Chun was also...
Matron Chang paused. She had never thought that the emperor would know this. She had asked Xiaohua to steal that thing...
Little Flower...
"Xiaohua stole it. I know nothing about it." She said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I am in so much pain. Please let me go because I have served Concubine Chun."
Seeing that she refused to admit it, the emperor stopped keeping her in suspense.
"Madame Chang, I remember all the stories you told me when I was a child."
Nanny Chang's expression changed completely now, and there was a hint of fear and resentment in her eyes.
"You... How could you... "
The emperor added: "If you don't want others to know, then you better not do it yourself. I suspect that you and others were responsible for my mother's death."
Nanny Chang’s eyes widened even further.
"You...you know everything." Nanny Chang probably knew that she was going to die, so she was desperate and crazy. She sneered: "So what if you know? That bitch Concubine Chun is already dead, and you are crazy..."
Nanny Chang laughed: "Xiao Ce, do you think you can escape? Sooner or later you will be discovered and pulled down from the throne. I will wait for your retribution."
Jiang Sheng couldn't stand hearing anyone say anything bad about his cousin, so he kicked Madam Chang without saying a word and said, "I'll tear your mouth off. Tell me, who is the murderer who conspired with you?"
Nanny Chang got up and spat out a mouthful of blood: "It was the late emperor. He killed Concubine Chun because she was a spy for the State of Chu... Hahahaha... Your father killed your mother." She stared at the emperor with resentment: "If you are really a filial son and want to avenge your mother, then go to the imperial mausoleum, dig up your father's tomb and whip his corpse... Haha... Cough cough cough..."
"You bitch, you're talking nonsense." Jiang Sheng kept yelling at Nanny Chang until she could no longer speak and fainted again.
The emperor stopped him: "Jiang Sheng, that's enough."
Jiang Sheng wiped the blood off his face.
"Cousin, this bitch must be talking nonsense..."
The emperor said nothing.
However, An Jiu finally understood why Concubine Chun was banished to the cold palace.
The late emperor suspected... No, maybe it wasn't suspicion, but he had definite evidence to prove that she was a spy for the State of Chu.
Only this can explain why the Jiang family was later implicated.
[My mother...she...is a spy from the State of Chu???]
[Did Father really kill her? ]
The emperor was also affected by Nanny Chang's words. He frowned and looked at a spot on the ground without saying a word.
Jiang Sheng also fell silent.
He was too young at that time, and he didn't know the reason why his aunt was banished to the cold palace, but he knew that the Jiang family was in trouble because of this. Jiang Sheng had been investigating for so many years, and he just couldn't believe that his aunt and the Jiang family would collude with the enemy and commit treason.
But now, Nanny Chang also said so...
She said so too!!!
Jiang Sheng felt a surge of resentment in his heart, but he didn't know how to vent it. He wished he could beat Nanny Chang to death right now.
An Jiu looked at Jiang Sheng, then at the emperor, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Why did Concubine Chun become a spy for the State of Chu?"
Both men looked at her at the same time.
An Jiu said: "The spies of the Chu State have a characteristic, they are all orphans without parents, but Concubine Chun is not one of them. What good will it do for her to be a spy?"
Everything has a motive.
Either for the Chu State, or for myself, or for my family...
But Concubine Chun was not a Chu person. Although her family was not a prominent family, they were doing okay. Moreover, she gave birth to a prince and was favored by the emperor. She didn't have to do anything. With her son's intelligence and the late emperor's love, she could just lie down and relax. Why should she do anything?
Jiang Sheng also nodded: "Yes, there is no way my aunt is a spy."
The emperor was indeed swayed by his emotions for a moment and was led by Nanny Chang.
Seeing that the two of them were back to normal, An Jiu said, "Perhaps Concubine Chun was framed by a real spy. After she was banished to the cold palace, the spy was afraid that she would reveal something, so he sent someone to kill her and confirmed the case. As a result, the real spy has not been discovered for so many years."
It can be seen from the jade rooster that the spy is very good at killing people by borrowing a knife.
