Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 179 The Truth About Being Killed 1
On March [-]th, after the court meeting ended, Ming Xuanyu returned to Qianqing Palace from Zichen Palace, and there were already several stacks of memorials waiting for him on the imperial case.

Someone from the palace hurriedly brought over tea, Ming Xuanyu just looked down at the memorial and wrote the reply with a pen in his hand.

"Your Majesty—" the man said softly.

Ming Xuanyu turned his face slightly to look at it, continued to write, and asked: "Huang Cheng, what's wrong with you today? If you have something to say, hurry up!"

Huang Cheng is the chief eunuch of Qianqing Palace, and he has followed Ming Xuanyu for many years, so he is acquainted with each other.

"Your Majesty, it's like this. This servant also has a copy of the memorial. Someone asked this servant to present it to His Majesty!" Huang Cheng said with a bow.

Ming Xuanyu stopped writing, stared at Huang Cheng, and said, "Take it out!"

Only then did Huang Cheng take out a copy from his sleeve and present it to the emperor respectfully.Ming Xuanyu took it, opened it and saw that it was Princess Antai's handwriting.

"So it's Antai!" Ming Xuanyu said before he read the content carefully, "You go down first, I'll take a look!"

Huang Cheng then resigned, and Ming Xuanyu was the only one in Dongnuange.

Princess Antai said in the memorial that she had failed the emperor's trust for many years and had gone astray.He also said that the emperor was very gracious to treat her like this, and in order to atone for her sins, she was willing to truthfully report everything she knew.

In the memorial, she listed some of the illegal things that organization has done in private over the years, and said that she has a list in her hand, and the list is some high-level members of the organization that she knows, and, at the end, she said She has already found out the truth about the extermination of Concubine Yi's family, and asked the emperor to give her a chance to tell the truth.

The memorial was very long, and Ming Xuanyu read it carefully. Although Antai only mentioned a few names, they were all related to the Zhao family and the Chen family.Although An Tai didn't say who the main messenger was, Ming Xuanyu already knew.

What should we do now?
It can be seen from the lines that Antai is targeting the Zhao family and the Chen family.In this case, there are two possibilities: first, Antai really wants to pay off the crime, and hopes that through her own confession, she will have a chance to stand up; the second possibility is that Antai may have been framed last time, and now she wants to Take this opportunity to take revenge.

However, no matter what An Tai planned, since the matter was brought to him, he had to deal with it.

He called Fang Xin and said, "Hurry up and send someone to take Gu Feiyan into the palace, I have something to ask her!"

A while ago, Fang Xin reported that according to Gu Feiyan's information, Princess Antai might take action.I didn't expect it to come so soon.Now, Ming Xuanyu needs to figure out whether what Princess Antai said in the memorial is true.If it was true, he would have to meet her in person.

For the rest of the day, Ming Xuanyu discussed with Fang Xin, Gu Feiyan, Zhang De, and Zhang Chongying from Zhongshushe in Dongnuange about what Princess Antai said in the memorial.

Ming Xuanyu had to admit that he really hadn't seen this cousin clearly all these years, she was too good at taking advantage of everything.Don't talk about the past, just say something today in this memorial, but hide more important things, say it's hidden, but you can still see that she knows a lot, knowing that she is very important.She told Ming Xuanyu what he was interested in but didn't understand. At the same time, she didn't show all her cards. On the other hand, she didn't make you feel that she was deliberately hiding it.

This Princess Antai is really a ruthless character!
Several people discussed matters in Dongnuan Pavilion until late at night.

And Xinyi, because of Gu Feiyan and Fang Xin's marriage, was in a good mood, and slowly walked out of the shadow of Lin Yuhan's incident, and began to prepare gifts for Gu Feiyan's wedding.

However, this night, when she was embroidering mandarin ducks for Gu Feiyan's wedding pillow under the lamp, someone walked up to her without anyone noticing.

There were hardly any footsteps, so she couldn't hear them, and he didn't smell at all, so she couldn't smell them either.

At this moment, her finger was suddenly pricked by a needle, and a drop of bright red blood oozed out. She quickly put the injured finger into her mouth and sucked the blood in.

"It's better not to embroider under such a lamp, it will hurt your eyes."

This familiar voice pierced her ears, she put the pillowcase on her lap, still turned her back to him, and asked, "Sir, why did you come here late at night?"

"Come and see you!" His voice was very soft, just like in the past.

"Mr. Lao is missing you!" She said flatly, got up and bowed to him, "Thank you for saving me last time——"

Before he finished speaking, Wuchen supported her, and said with a smile, "As long as you are safe!"

She deliberately took two steps back, and Wu Chen let her go.

"Sir, it's not as simple as looking at me when you come here!" She asked.

Wuchen was silent for a moment, then said: "Xinyi, do you know who killed your parents and Ziqing?"

The light suddenly flashed brightly in her eyes, she stared at him, and asked with a trembling voice, "Who?"

The candlelight danced, reflecting Wuchen's face from time to time, so unpredictable.

With his hands on her shoulders, with a solemn expression, he slowly told her the truth.She was so calm, just quietly listening to him finish.

In the past few years, she was very afraid to bring up that matter and face it, but after losing so many relatives and friends, she has decided to solve it by herself.The first step is to face up to the past, no matter how painful it is, to face up to that fact.

Night is always so peaceful.

When Ming Xuanyu came over, Xu hour had passed, and he had already asked Gu Feiyan, Fang Xin, Ye Yixuan and others to verify what Princess Antai said, and continued to stare at her.

He was in a complicated mood and couldn't explain why, because what Antai said had something to do with Xinyi, and seeing her blankly at the moment, he became even more worried.

Before she had time to ask, she heard her say: "My parents were killed by the organized people for a book written by Han Zhengying, governor of Hedong County. Han Zhengying was also exterminated. My father entrusted the book to Yan Siming , Yan Siming turned out to inform—" She didn't stop for a moment, telling the truth.

He was a little surprised at first, but soon listened to her seriously.

"What about the book?" he asked.

Trembling, she held a seemingly old book on the table and gave it to him. He opened the book and read it carefully.

"This was recorded by Han Zhengying as governor of Hedong County for three years. It is all the Zhao family's evil deeds. The official copy has been handed over to the Zhao family by Yan Siming. This is Yan Siming's re-transcription to save his own life. From here Judging from the content of the first book, I think there should be some confessions and affidavits in the original copy. Now, it is estimated that the original copy has been destroyed long ago." As she spoke, she couldn't hide her sadness and shed tears.

"Han Zhengying and my father are from the same hometown. Maybe he sensed the danger, but he was afraid that no one would know about the Zhao family's affairs, so he handed it over to my father for safekeeping. Unexpectedly, everyone, all—" She wiped her tears , but could no longer speak.

He stretched out his arms and took her in his arms.

"Why do you have to be so cruel? Why?" She cried bitterly in his arms, "For so many years, I thought that my parents were killed by some robber, and I thought I would never catch the murderer again. However, I recognized the thief as my father, Helping those murderers, and being the granddaughter of the Duke of England. What face do I have to meet my parents and younger brother?"

His chin rubbed against her forehead, but he remained silent.

The pain and anxiety, as well as the remorse and hatred that had been suppressed in my heart for many years, all burst out at this moment.

The night was quiet, but there was only the sound of crying.

He has not spoken, since he got Antai's memorial in the afternoon, he has been immersed in this matter all the time.What is the relationship between the Zhao family, the Chen family, grandma, An Tai, and myself?Grandma supported him, taught him, and went through so many hardships with him, as did Antai. How come it is only now that we find out that everyone came together with their own goals?Or is it my own problem, that I should not rely too much on others?It seems so!

He could imagine what the Zhao family had done in Hedong, because it wasn't just the Zhao family who did that, but many big families and powerful families did the same.Therefore, he wants to weaken the power of the big family.However, the connection between myself and the Zhao family has been too deep these years, and it is impossible to get rid of it completely.However, since it has been determined that the Zhao family and the Chen family are the main organizers of this organization, and grandma is the mastermind behind the scenes, then we can find a way to punish those involved in accordance with the law. In this way——

"Antai gave me a memorial today, it's all about that organization!" He said after a long silence, she wiped away her tears and looked up at him.

"She said that she has the list in hand, but she may want to hand it over and let me forgive her sins and let her return to the court!" he said.

"Then what are you going to do? Promise her?" She was worried.

Because she knew that Princess Antai was a very ambitious person, once she was brought back, the consequences would be difficult to deal with.

He pondered: "Let's see how big the thing in her hand is before we talk about it!"

"In this way, doesn't she just want you to clean up the Zhao family and the Chen family? When these two families are kicked out of the court and she comes back, won't the court be her world?"

He smiled slightly and said, "If we let her come back, he will definitely be prepared to coerce her, and will never let her do whatever she wants. Don't worry about that. The question now is, what should the Zhao family do!"

She didn't know what to do for the best, so she was silent.

"Your father's matter will be thoroughly investigated tomorrow. Those who killed court officials must be brought to justice! Otherwise, there will never be officials like Han Zhengying and your father in the future!" He said sighed.

She nodded in tears.

His embrace is so warm and safe, but, for some reason, she remembered Wu Chen's words "I shouldn't expect your forgiveness, many things, I shouldn't! If that day really comes, I hope the one who kills me That person is you!"

Wu Chen handed over such an important thing to her, but why did he say that?
"Who gave you this book?" Ming Xuanyu asked.

"Wuchen!" She thought he would be angry, but he didn't, he just fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

He smiled in confusion, and said, "How could it be such a coincidence? Over there, Huang Cheng showed me An Tai's memorial, and Wu Chen here will tell you about it. What a coincidence!"

She pondered: "Do you think that among them—"

He nodded and said: "Antai can betray grandma, Wuchen saves you again and again, maybe he is already a traitor. Since he is a traitor, there will be a new master, and his master is likely to be Antai! "

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with saying that!" She sighed.

Wu Chen, why did you save me?And why did you say that?Xinyi thought about it, but still didn't understand.

Three days later, Ming Xuanyu secretly summoned Princess Antai in Qianqing Palace and saw the list.

He didn't show any surprise, as if he already knew what Antai told him, which surprised her.

Did he already have it all, or did he confuse me on purpose?Antai fell into deep thought.

In the end, Ming Xuanyu said that once everything she said was verified, he would restore all her previous positions.

Antai was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was filled with fear and sincerity. He kowtowed to thank him, and said that he would do his best to share your worries.

When she walked out of Qianqing Palace, she couldn't hide her inner joy.Because she knew that after the power of the Empress Dowager was cleared out of the power center by Ming Xuanyu, the court of the Ming Kingdom would be in Li Meier's pocket!At that time, no one can stop her from going to the highest power.

Before others knew it, Fang Xin, Gu Feiyan, and Ye Yixuan had already divided up their forces to collect evidence of the Zhao family and Chen family's violation of law and discipline as quickly as possible.And those people on the list are all under Ming Xuanyu's surveillance.
