The emptiness was unexpected.
The emperor was the first one to seek marriage advice from him.
The last one was the late emperor. His son was already seven or eight years old and came to him to calculate his marriage.
Jikongshi was indeed calculated. After all, the previous emperor had too many bugs. Among the three palaces and six courtyards, which one did he not have a marriage affinity with?
"Who do you want to kill, Your Majesty?" Jikong was speechless, thinking that this father and son were really interesting.
The emperor thought about it and decided that since that guy met Jikong yesterday, he must have brought Xiaojiu with him.
So the emperor said, "Just... the one from last night."
There was a pause of silence.
"Is that your Majesty's concubine?"
The emperor shook his head: "For now, that is."
That's it from now on.
The emperor likes that girl.
Jikong was not in a hurry. He was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, actually when I saw that girl last night, I felt that she looked familiar."
The emperor was surprised: "Look familiar?"
Jikong nodded and said: "I traveled far this time and went to the national temple of Chu State. I met someone there who looked very similar to the girl beside Your Majesty."
Chu State...
Someone who looks very much like Xiaojiu.
The emperor's face darkened, completely losing the ease he had just shown.
"Tell me about it in detail."
Jikong said that when he went to the State of Chu, he happened to meet the royal family of Chu coming over.
"That person is standing next to the princess. It seems that he has a very good relationship with the princess. As for his specific identity, I don't know."
After Jikong finished speaking, he asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, do you still want to calculate your marriage?"
The emperor waved his hand: "It's over."
He got up and went back to the house. An Jiu had just made a pot of tea and poured him a cup when she saw him come in.
The emperor stared at An Jiu while drinking tea.
[Also has a relationship with the Chu people.] 】
Is this a good match? 】
An Jiu was surprised. Why did he suddenly mention the Chu people?
놌Someone related to the Chu people……놊Could it be her?
What does she have to do with the Chu people?
However, the emperor did not think further. He took a sip of tea and asked casually, "Xiaojiu, is there anyone else in your family?"
An Jiu looked at him.
The emperor asked, "Did you have any family members when you fled from the famine?"
An Jiu thought about it.
The original owner had many memories of his family, and he had to think hard to remember them.
Her memories outside the palace were confusing: hunger, cold, fear, and despair.
Her parents seemed to be dead.
As for others...
An Jiu remembered that the original owner had an older brother.
"I have an older brother named...An Tai."
An Jiu looked at him: "Your Majesty, why do you suddenly ask this?"
The emperor said, "It's nothing. Master Jikong said that he saw a man who looked very similar to you in Chu. Do you think it's possible that he is your brother?"
An Jiu was stunned.
So that's how it is.
An Jiu felt that there were many people in the world who looked similar, and the one who looked similar to her must be her brother.
The original owner's memory...
An Jiu remembered this brother's appearance too well.
If so, that's really unbelievable. 】
The emperor thought so.
The sudden appearance of the suspected brother made An Jiu uneasy.
There were spies from the State of Chu in the palace, and now she has a brother who is suspected to be from the State of Chu...
It looks suspicious no matter how you look at it.
An Jiu secretly glanced at the emperor. Did the emperor suspect that she was a spy from the State of Chu?
An Jiu didn't blame him, after all... Damn it, did she really know that the original owner was a spy for the State of Chu?
What if that's the case...
Ahhhhhhhhh! ! ! !
Even if it is, you can admit it even if you are beaten to death? ? ?
…
After lunch, the emperor returned to the palace.
As for the land that the abbot had to hand over, of course it had to be brought up to the court as early as possible. Baohua Temple was a beginning and an example. All the wealthy temples in Daxia had to pay him.
As soon as the emperor came back, Jiang Sheng came and said as soon as he entered the door: "Cousin, you definitely guess who that person is."
The emperor liked to hear him keep things in suspense, so he asked patiently, "Who is it?"
"Liu Chen, he is the chief eunuch who served the late Concubine Xian."
Jiang Sheng frowned: "Those jewelry have been checked and found to belong to Concubine Xian." Jiang Sheng suspected Qiao Dong at first, because as the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he could do many things easily.
But I didn't expect it was Liu Chen.
"Where is Liu Chen?" If it were before, the emperor would be very surprised, but after Concubine Yu told him the truth, he became much calmer and more composed.
He believed that Concubine Xian was a spy of the State of Chu, and she was very likely a bait pushed out like Concubine Chun or even the Queen Mother.
I'm here to take the blame.
If Liu Chen was the murderer of Concubine Chun, then he was very likely to use Concubine Xian to testify against Concubine Chun, and he and Nanny Chang worked together to set up such a frame-up.
In the end, Consort Xian and Consort Chun were killed.
After doing this, they pushed the Queen Mother out to take the blame.
The person behind the scenes is really scheming, ruthless, and hiding deep...
"Back to prison." As soon as Jiang Sheng finished speaking, the emperor stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."
However, as soon as they left the house, Xiao Fuzi came in and said, "Your Majesty, King Jing has arrived."
The emperor narrowed his eyes.
King Jing comes at this time...
The emperor decided to meet King Jing first.
King Jing was a man who kept secrets, but when he was in a good mood, he showed them clearly.
"Is there anything wrong, third brother?" asked the emperor.
King Jing said with a dark face: "I want to see Liu Chen."
Is this the case? This is the case.
"Why?"
King Jing exhaled: "I suspect there is something fishy about my mother's death."
The emperor came over and said to King Jing, "Liu Chen made a mistake. I have locked him up. Let's go and take a look together."
They soon arrived at the Ministry of Punishment.
At first it was very calm, nothing unusual, but when they got to the prison, they found Liu Chen lying motionless on the ground. Jiang Sheng realized something was wrong and asked someone to open the cell door, only to find out that Liu Chen was dead.
"How is this possible?" Jiang Sheng grabbed his men in frustration and asked, "What's going on?"
The subordinate looked confused: "Everything is normal here. I don't know what's going on."
Jiang Sheng was afraid of something happening, so he tied up Liu Chen and stuffed a cloth ball into his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide.
How could he die suddenly?
Jiang Sheng walked over and took a look, then said helplessly: "He took poison before he came here last night."
Jiang Sheng was so angry that he almost died. Who could have imagined this?
Liu Chen had never thought about living before he came here.
If the clue is broken again.
However, he did not sleep all night last night, and actually did not get anything out of the question.
"I was careless." Jiang Sheng said in annoyance.
The emperor shook his head.
Can Jiang Sheng be blamed for this?
The person behind the scenes was so cautious that he could not leave such a big trouble, and Liu Chen would tell everything.
"Why did you arrest Liu Chen?" King Jing asked with a gloomy face.
Jiang Sheng paused, and suddenly remembered that Liu Chen served Concubine Xian, so he must have a good relationship with King Jing.
He glanced at the emperor, hesitating whether to explain it to King Jing.
The emperor exhaled: "Third brother, we arrested Liu Chen because..."
The emperor told King Jing about the spy from the State of Chu, and then talked about the matter between Nanny Chang and Liu Chen...
"We set a trap, and Liu Chen came, that's it." Jiang Sheng added, he really wanted to see King Jing and the emperor turn against each other, King Jing had military power.
It seems that King Jing is a fool. He thought for a while and suddenly said, "You said...was it Liu Chen who was responsible for my mother's death?"
The emperor nodded: "It is very likely."
Now we cannot be sure that the late emperor was the one who did it, and Liu Chen is already dead, so he has to bear the blame no matter what.
Even if he had done it, it was he who had interfered and played a trick on his father.
The ones who deserved to be damned were Liu Chen and Nanny Chang.
My father was deceived.
The emperor thought so.
