The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 193 One Wrong Step (one more)
"Yingyue, before presenting the evidence to His Majesty, we must first obtain the testimony of Mr. Shen identifying the mastermind behind the scenes. Otherwise, after they startle the snake, they are likely to kill people to silence your father, so as to seal your father's mouth."

Su Tang knew it was inappropriate to say this at this time, but she had to say that if she caught such a big fish from the Song family, if she didn't hurry up, the fishing line would be cut soon.

Mr. Shen is the most critical person among them. He has been in prison for so long without being silenced. That person probably wanted Mr. Shen to take the blame and get rid of his suspicion.

Lord Tingwei is not stupid, and neither is His Majesty. Lord Shen embezzled so much money from various imperial merchants, it must not be something that a small official like him would dare to do.

Mr. Tingwei personally interrogated, and wrote memorials to report the progress every day, probably in order to interrogate the big fish behind Mr. Shen.

"Master, let me go, I have a lot of things I want to ask my father, and if I go, it will not be easy to be suspicious." Yingyue wiped away her tears and stood up.

"Okay." Su Tang gave her a token to prove her identity, ensuring that she could enter the prison and meet her father smoothly.

Yingyue brought some food out of the house, but was bumped into by the nine princesses who just came in. The nine princesses who wanted to say hello saw Yingyue walking with her head down, as if she was not happy, so she had to give up.

"Sister Huang." Ninth Princess folded her hands in front of her body, and walked to Su Tang's side with her handkerchief in hand, her voice sounded softly and calmly, "What did Yingyue go to do, why is she so absent-minded? "

Su Tang looked at his imperial sister, with every frown and smile, every move looked elegant and dignified, she could be painted, her personality was soft but her heart was resolute, she was proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just what a princess should have in Su Tang's mind look.

"She went out to buy something." Su Tang asked her to sit down and poured tea, "Why did Sister Li think of me?"

Su Li had a decent smile on her face, "I should have come to see Huang Jie long ago. I heard that Huang Jie is very busy after returning to Beijing, so I just waited until now to come."

"I thought the fourth princess was bullying you again and came to me crying." Su Tang laughed.

Su Li's mother was only a benefactor in the harem, her status was not high, and even Su Li was often bullied.

When Su Tang just crossed over, he didn't know many people, so he saw Su Li, who was only 16 years old at that time, squatting in the corner of the back garden and crying.

After chatting with her for a few words, she found that the girl had a good personality, and after getting to know each other slowly, she had a good relationship. At that time, Su Li and Yingyue often took Su Tang around together, and told Su Tang about the things here to find memories. Help Su Tang get familiar with the environment here quickly.

As we get closer to Su Tang, gradually many princes and princesses don't dare to bully her, but there are also a few who are not afraid of Su Tang because of their mother's family power, they will still trouble her, and come to Su Tang to cry every time they are wronged a while.

"Why, I've grown up now, so I stopped crying a long time ago." Su Lijiao said with a smile, "I heard that the emperor's sister has a pet that beats those restless nobles in the city very hard, and it's not easy yet Don’t dare to go out, why didn’t I see you today?”

"Since it beat you young masters, it has been sent to the Colosseum by its father to fight. You can go there to have a look when you are free." Su Tang laughed.

"Okay." Su Li took a sip of tea and gently put down the teacup, the corners of her lips moved slightly and picked up the water glass again.

Su Tang looked at her small movements and asked, "Is there anything Sister Li wants to say to me?"

Su Li took a deep breath as if she was going all out, "Since Miss Huang came back, the fourth elder sister's mother's palace has entertained officials and family members more often, I just feel a little abnormal, so I came to talk to Miss Huang."

The queen has not been established for many years, and the mother of the fourth princess is in charge of the harem. If she finds out that she is making a report to His Royal Highness, she might bully her and her mother.

After all, like His Royal Highness, there are not many princes and princesses who left the palace early to establish their own mansions, and she still has to live in the harem.

"I see, thank you for telling me this."

Su Tang sent Su Li away and pondered what she said. Su Tang didn't remember any interaction between him and the fourth princess, so it probably wasn't for him.

But it's not good to say, since he became a prince, it seems that everyone has a grudge against him.

On the other side, Yingyue came to the prison and saw her father, who was nearly forty years old, wearing dirty prison clothes, with his hair tied up casually by a wooden stick, looking loose and embarrassed, and his eyes were a little sore.

She remembered that her father also liked her when she was a child, and would hold her to learn how to read. When did she gradually dislike talking to her?

Maybe it was after the beautiful and bold little concubine gave birth to a daughter who looked like she was smearing honey, or maybe the mother was wronged by the concubine and deliberately ignored her father, so her father rarely went to their yard and gradually ignored her up.

Shen Congwen sat on the pile of straw and raised his head with a dull expression. When he saw the figure standing quietly outside the cell, he stood up abruptly and stared at Yingyue happily and excitedly, "Yue'er, come back!" Now, when did you come back, come closer and let my father see."

The jailer said that Shen Congwen was a felon and could not open the cell door, so Yingyue stood quietly in the middle of the corridor without moving a step forward, trying to suppress the sourness that rushed to her nose and eye sockets because she wanted to cry.

Trying to make my voice as indifferent as possible, "It turns out that my father still has a daughter like me in his heart. I thought you had forgotten all about it long ago."

"You are my daughter, how could I forget you." Shen Congwen hugged the wooden fence and looked at Yingyue, his eyes showed the kindness he had never shown towards Yingyue in these years.

"When my mother and I were bullied by concubines and concubines, did my father ever think that I was your daughter?
When that concubine broke your favorite jade bottle, and my father locked me in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights without food or drink, did you ever think that I was your daughter?
Back then when there was a place in our family to choose a maid in the palace, my father kept the concubine daughter and sent me to the palace. Did you think that I was your daughter? "

Yingyue's tears finally couldn't hold back and fell from the corners of her eyes. She had too much resentment and questioned her father too much.

It would be fine if her father didn't like her since she was born, but she clearly remembered that when she was young, her father liked her, and her father was once tall and stalwart in her heart, but why did she become what she was later, Ying Yue couldn't figure it out.

Listening to Yingyue's questioning, Shen Congwen slid down the wooden railing and fell to the ground. The figure suddenly became much older, and his voice was choked and desolate.

"Silly boy, you will always be my daughter in my heart. Your mother is gentle and virtuous. She caught my eyes when she wore a light veil back then. She was the wife I married three times. Your mother and daughter are my daughter." The person I miss the most in my heart is just that I have done one thing wrong in my life, one wrong step and one wrong step."
