cold heart prince

Chapter 115

"My lord, just say what you have to say." After closing the door, she smoked a pipe, exhaled a long circle of smoke, and said.

Ji Xueer was not in a hurry to speak first, but took out a stack of banknotes from her arms and threw them on the table:

"I want to know which room Yi He is in."

It's rare to see such a generous person, Xiao's mother stared straight at the thick stack of bank notes on the table without blinking, and said: "Young master, we are open for business. Pay attention to reputation, and don't just talk about the location of the guests."

Throwing down another stack of bank notes, Ji Xueer didn't need to speak, the meaning was already obvious.

It can be clearly seen from Mother Xiao's face that she is constantly struggling. Should she hold it well or not? If it goes on, there is even a question of whether she can save her life.Don't take it, who in the world would have trouble with money?Let alone 5000 taels here, it is rare for someone to make such a generous move, it would be a pity to miss it.

Xiao's mother put her hand on top of the bank note, she didn't take it, and she didn't take it.

Ji Xueer's patience was gradually worn out by Xiao's mother's uncertain movements. She suddenly made a move, and a delicate dagger appeared on Xiao's neck without warning, which scared her into a shudder and broke out in cold sweat.岺.

"My...my lord, if you have something to say... it's good... easy to say." Her eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.

"Where is Yi He?"

"Go out of here and turn left to the third room." Mother Xiao finished in one breath, very smooth, her life is in the hands of others, and it's not as good as the other party's wishes. Looking at that expression, she will soon be splattered with blood on the spot.

Ji Xueer withdrew the dagger, stared at her eyes, and said coldly: "Don't try to lie to me, otherwise, I will let you take money as you wish, and spend it as you wish."

"Yes, yes, yes." Xiao's mother nodded repeatedly, while timidly went to the table to get the bank notes. No matter what, she told the person in front of her where Mr. Yi was. These bank notes were what she deserved. .

Ji Xueer glanced at her, then turned and left the wing. Her goal was Yi He, and she wasn't here to waste time with irrelevant people.

According to the direction Mother Xiao said, she quickly found the room. She pushed open the door, and the original playful voice stopped abruptly, and her eyes focused on Ji Xueer.

"Who is Yi He?"

Ji Xueer ignored everyone's gazes and asked immediately.

After a long while, one of them stood up, and pointed at Ji Xueer, who suddenly barged in, pretendingly:

"Bold, which blind thing dares to call Mr. Yi by his first name."

Saying that, she bowed to the man sitting in the middle with her fisted hand, this time, Ji Xueer knew who Yi He was without asking any more.Just when the man faced Ji Xueer again after bowing, and wanted to speak again, he suddenly flew aside.

The shot was so fast that no one noticed it. For a while, the woman's screams rose and fell.

"Get out if you don't want to die." While speaking, people had already flashed in front of Yi He, and Yi He who was about to run out was stopped by Ji Xueer, and could only watch helplessly as other people ignored his life and death. They all ran out of the room.

"You, what do you want?"

Yi He looked at the empty room and saw the dagger in Ji Xueer's hand flickering in front of his eyes, and felt terrified.

Ji Xueer took out the letter she had prepared and handed it in front of him: "I want the person in this letter to die." She said with a cold gleam, every word.

"Okay, okay." He replied without thinking, nodding his head like a wave drum.

"What to do, how to say, in the letter, I have made it clear, do as I said, it will take three days, if you fail, your head will be lost, I can say it, I can do it."

The slightly narrowed phoenix eyes revealed a cold killing intent.

"I will definitely do it." Yi He replied fearfully, not daring to slack off, looking at the expression of the person in front of him, it was not just talking, if he really didn't do it, the life he managed to get would probably die again in three days. Gone.

Ji Xueer twitched the corner of her mouth, and walked away with a sinister smile.

Tong Keyi, in this world, I can't have you. It's just a blame. You shouldn't let the prince fall in love with you. He can only love me.

The next day, at the court, Yi He handed the letter to Lin De in front of the emperor, and knelt in the center:
"My Majesty, this is the anonymous letter I received yesterday. The person mentioned above is Tong Keyi, the daughter of Tong Qianming, the former Princess Wen. Returning to Prince Wen’s mansion with his identity, he deceived everyone and tried to escape being sentenced.”

Wenxiu's pupils shrank, and he stared at the kneeling man for a moment, secretly thinking about why Yi He knew about this, and what was the purpose of announcing Yiyi's identity?

"What does Yi Shangshu mean by this? Is it that the king is covering up the family members of the criminal ministers and not reporting what he knows?"

"My lord is serious. I don't mean that. I think my lord doesn't know about it. If he knew, how could he know how to break the law and deceive His Majesty."

In a word, Wen Xiu has nothing to do with him, and indirectly points out Tong Keyi's deception.This is what Ji Xueer wants him to talk about, and the prince cannot be involved.

Wenxiu was speechless for a while, he couldn't say clearly that he knew it, so Yi He could take advantage of it, but he didn't want to let him design it.

Yu Nuoyang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, raised his eyebrows, squinted at Yi He, picked up the letter in his hand and raised it: "Based on just a few words in this letter, how can it be proved that she is a thief?" My daughter, there are not no similar people in the world, Yi Shangshu, you don’t know these truths, do you?”

Yi He bowed again: "When you go back to the emperor, someone heard Concubine Xian call her third sister. May I ask, isn't the third sister of the empress Tong Qianming's third daughter, the former concubine of Prince Wen's residence?"

As soon as Yi He's voice fell, he heard intermittent responses from around him.

Yu Nuoyang glanced at the officials calmly, and then at Wenxiu, signaling him not to worry.

"I don't know Yi Shangshu, but after waking up, Concubine Xian's memory remains at the age of ten, like a child. When she meets someone with the same appearance, she is mistaken for her third sister. It's justifiable. Doesn't that explain anything?"

Yi He's body paused slightly, as if he didn't expect the emperor to be so difficult to deal with. His appearance was clearly a defense, but it also made everyone suspicious.But since it is the time of the court and they are under the eyes of the emperor, they dare not be too presumptuous. However, the eyes they exchanged with each other are showing their curiosity.

After a long while, Yi He continued: "The anonymous letter stated that the girl called Tong Qianming's fourth wife as her mother, and she had also brought the fourth wife into the palace. The fourth wife is very normal, and it is impossible for her to recognize her daughter by mistake."

That aggressive look made it clear that he wanted the emperor to condemn Tong Keyi.

Wenxiu was surprised, why Yi He knew so many things, who was in the palace revealed, and even the relationship between the two of them was clearly known.

Yu Nuoyang glanced at the letter in his hand, yes, it was written in the letter, but he still asked uncompromisingly:
"Who can prove that the person you mentioned is Tong Qianming's fourth wife?"

"All the servants of the Tong family who were dismissed can prove it."

In a word, Yu Nuoyang was speechless for a moment. Yi He came prepared. Every hypothesis he put forward was rejected by Yi He one by one, which was irrefutable.

Seeing the emperor's silence, Yi He went on to say: "As the daughter of the Tong family, the other party hid her identity and sneaked into the palace with impure motives. I feel that maybe she is secretly gathering forces to avenge Tong Qianming. Can't stay."

After waiting for a long time, Yi He finally stated the ultimate goal, Ji Xueer wanted to use the hands of others to get rid of the thorn in her side, her current martial arts and internal strength are not as good as Tong Keyi, but if the emperor orders, she can only obey obediently.

Yi He's words made Wenxiu furious, his eyes sank, and he stared at him coldly:
"Yi He, you don't have evidence, why do you conclude that, according to this king, the person with impure motives should be you, I think I don't have any deep friendship with you in Prince Wen's mansion, why do you know so much about the things in my mansion? So clear?"

Yi He's face changed slightly, his expression was a little unnatural, but he still pretended to be full of confidence, and said:

"What Weichen said is what was said in the letter. To prove it, we can send her over for questioning, and we will know the truth."

Yu Nuoyang hesitated, and looked anxiously at Wenxiu, but the minister did not have many people echoing Yi He, thinking that what he said was very reasonable, if not, he could also return the woman's innocence, but if it is really Tong Qianming's daughter, Then it can't be viewed simply, the emperor did not execute the family members of the Tong family, so her purpose of hiding her identity and sneaking into the Wen Wang's mansion makes people have to doubt it.

Here, only Wen Xiu knew Ke Yi's real thoughts about entering the mansion, and even Yu Nuoyang couldn't help but start to have some doubts after hearing Yi He's words, and he really didn't think of this level at the beginning.

However, Wenxiu treats him both as a gentleman and as a friend. If this is the case, it is impossible for him not to know, and it is impossible not to report to him.But in the face of the officials, he can't just go his own way.

Yu Nuoyang's eyes swept over the officials one by one, and then returned to Yi He. His dark pupils were bottomless, and after a long time, he spoke:
"Lin De, go to King Wen's Mansion to announce that woman to Zhengqing Palace."

"Hey, the slave obeys the order."

After Lin De left, Yu Nuoyang went on to say: "Yi He, this time I have granted your wish, but if the truth of the matter is fabricated by you..." Yu Nuoyang didn't go on saying what he said next, Come on, Yi He was even more troubled, and secretly worried.

I don't know if the information given to him by the man yesterday is correct, if it is not as he said, seeing the emperor's anger at the moment, I am afraid that the black hat will not be safe.But if he doesn't say it, his life will be lost, but according to his opinion, there should be no falsehood.

Wenxiu's clenched fists held back his anger, and a murderous look flashed across his brows. If Yiyi was in any danger, he would not spare him.

Soon, Ke Yi followed Lin De into the Zhengqing Hall, and the sights from all around made her feel depressed.As for Wenxiu, when he saw her, his pupils were tightly locked on Ke Yi's body, and he felt his chest tremble, as if it was about to be torn apart, and the heart-piercing pain spread throughout his body.

He still couldn't accept that the two were brother and sister.

"Slaves see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

She walked to the front, knelt down and saluted.

"Exemption."

Yi He glanced at Yu Nuoyang, seeing that he didn't behave in any way, so he boldly walked up to Keyi and asked:

"I have received an anonymous letter stating that you are Tong Qianming's daughter, what objection do you have to this?"

Keyi raised her eyes, stared for a moment, and said calmly:
"The servant has no objection."

When she decided to return to the palace to avenge An An, she was already mentally prepared. Sooner or later, her identity would be discovered. She would not deny it, but she didn't understand. It is said that someone secretly told Mr. Shang Shu that she was Tong Qianming's daughter, and she hid her identity and sneaked into the palace in an attempt to find an opportunity to avenge Tong Qianming.When she first heard it, she was a little stunned, but after thinking about it, she realized that someone was going to take the opportunity to kill her.

Ke Yi admitted that the happiest person was Yi He, and he hurriedly kowtowed to Yu Nuoyang:

"Reporting to the emperor, she has already admitted that it proves that the minister is not talking nonsense. The emperor should immediately issue an order to kill the thief girl." Yi He only wanted to execute Keyi as soon as possible, so that he could save his life, and forgot He was in Zhengqing Hall, under the eyes of the emperor, he stood up suddenly, turned around and shouted: "Come on, take this thief girl down."

As soon as Yi He's words fell, Yu Nuoyang slapped the armrest of the chair heavily, made a dull sound, then stood up abruptly, glaring at him angrily: "Bold Yi He, are you the emperor or I am the emperor? In your eyes , Is there still I, I have not spoken, here, when is it your turn to speak. "

Just hearing the rustling sound below, everyone knelt down and shouted in unison: "The emperor calms down."

Yi He's body froze, he quickly knelt down, and said tremblingly: "The emperor... the emperor forgives the sin, the minister has lost his composure."

"Humph!" Yu Nuoyang snorted coldly, and flicked his sleeve robe.

Although Yi He turned pale with shock, he still did not forget to say:
"Your majesty, I also think about the emperor. If not, why should she use another identity? The emperor did not kill the Tong family. Even Tong Qianming did not order Tong Qianming to be executed. But her life is not guaranteed, so the only explanation is that she has other intentions, for the sake of the emperor's life and to prevent future troubles, this woman must not be kept."

"Yi He, don't go too far."

It was Wen Xiu who spoke, and he was already furious, regardless of the environment he was in, he took a step forward, pulled Yi He up, and gritted his teeth.

"Wenxiu, don't be presumptuous." Afraid that Wenxiu's impulsiveness would hurt Yi He, Yu Nuoyang hurriedly stopped him.

Keyi also stared at him worriedly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The slaves behaved righteously and sat upright. I believe that the emperor is a wise sage, and he will definitely give the slaves justice."

She appeared to be very calm, but her heart was also fluctuating. Since the other party wanted to kill her, he would definitely think about everything. What Yi He said to the emperor was very high-sounding. After all, she entered with another identity. palace.

But how many people can prove the reason why she entered the palace?

The murderous look in Wenxiu's eyes gradually receded, and he let go of his hands, but the anger seemed to burn Yi He to pieces.

"The daughter of a thief minister deceives the emperor and deserves death. I am willing to ask the emperor to issue an order."

Yi He was afraid of death, otherwise he wouldn't work so hard, but he never thought that Wen Xiu would really be the first to kill him if things went on like this.

Quiet, anything but quiet, still quiet!
Yu Nuoyang did not speak, Wen Xiu did not speak, Ke Yi did not speak, and the ministers on both sides did not speak, but they clearly felt that this was unusual.The best way is to keep silent.

Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded at the entrance of Zhengqing Hall, which was unusually abrupt in this silent hall:

"Who dares to execute, my daughter!" The voice was as clear as a bell.

Everyone paused and turned their heads one after another, only to see Yu Jing hastily walking into the Zhengqing Hall with an angry expression on his face.

"I met Prince Jing."

Everyone kowtowed and saluted King Jing who hurried past.

Yu Jing ignored the rest of the ministers, and strode forward: "I kowtow to the emperor."

"The emperor's uncle is free."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yu Jing got up, walked towards Keyi, helped her up, and said lovingly, "My child, you have suffered." His words were full of pity.

Ke Yi squats, and Yu Jing helps her up in a daze, not knowing why.

Not only Keyi, everyone was stunned, looking at Yu Jing for a moment, he patted Keyi's hand comfortingly, and shot sharp eyes at Yi He who was beside him.

"Yi Shangshu, I didn't expect you to be so courageous that you dare to frame the king's daughter. You know that slandering the emperor's relatives is a capital offense."

Every word seems to be squeezed out from between the teeth.

"I..." Yi He stared blankly, in a daze, and then he closed his eyes and bent over: "Please forgive me for being rude, Prince Jing can't lie about her as his own just because he wants to protect this girl." Daughter." He didn't say that Princess Jing didn't give birth to a boy and a girl for Prince Jing.

Yu Jing sneered, and slowly opened the voice: "Master Shang Shu wants to say that this king has no children, is it?"

"I dare not." But it is true.

Yu Jing looked around and understood that no one believed what he said, so he turned to look at Yu Nuoyang, "I want to ask the emperor to be a witness. Today, in front of all the ministers, I will confess my relatives by dripping blood."

Yu Nuoyang raised his handsome eyebrows, and looked at Yu Jing with some trepidation: "Uncle Emperor, this..." For a while, he also couldn't figure out what Yu Jing was going to do?Recognizing relatives by dripping blood is no joke, how can their blood blend together.

"Please grant the emperor's permission."

Yu Nuoyang looked at Yu Jing quietly for a while, and nodded his head seeing his resolute expression. He thought, since Uncle Huang said so, he must have a way to deal with it.

"Come here, bring a dagger and a bowl of water."

After a while, an eunuch came out with a plate and walked up to Yu Jing. Yu Jing picked up the dagger and slid it lightly on his hand, a drop of blood dripped into the clear water.

He handed the dagger to Keyi again, but Keyi stared at the dagger in front of him, still daring not to take it, feeling uneasy.

"Don't be afraid, come on."

A word, like magic, calmed Keyi's flustered heart. She smiled slightly, took the dagger, and slashed on her finger, dripping blood into the clear water.

Many ministers gathered around, staring at the two drops of blood in the bowl without blinking, slowly approaching little by little, little by little.

In the end, the two drops of blood that were originally separated merged together.

Everyone stared blankly, including words to follow, including Wenxiu.

Surprise, of course, filled everyone's heart.

"My Majesty, Prince Jing's blood and Miss Keyi's blood have been fused together." The eunuch brought the fused blood to Yu Nuoyang, and Yu Nuoyang's eyes were full of disbelief.

"Uncle Emperor..." He looked at Yu Jing in a daze, and said in surprise.

"Your Majesty, I am not lying. She is indeed my daughter who has been separated for 20 years. The reason for this is my private matter, so it is inconvenient to say it above the court."

Hearing this, the corners of Wenxiu's mouth curled into a perfect curve, and he smiled alluringly. The shackles that were locked in his heart were suddenly released, and joy filled his whole body.

Although it was unbelievable and confusing, he only heard one fact, that Yiyi was Prince Jing's daughter, which meant that the two of them had nothing to do with each other.

It doesn't matter, it's not siblings!
This information repeatedly circled in his mind, making his eyes and eyebrows smile.

"Didn't Princess Jing not give birth to a son-in-law?"

Perhaps it came too suddenly, Yi He panicked, and just blurted out the rude words.

"Kneel down." Yu Nuo said suddenly, with restrained anger.

Yi He was startled suddenly, and knelt heavily on the ground again, lowering his head.

"Yi He, you are guilty."

"The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin." As if he knew the consequences for himself, Yi He kept kowtowing his head and begging for mercy.

Yu Nuoyang turned a deaf ear to it: "Yi He, you've committed a crime against your superiors by using a forged letter to slander the princess and fabricate facts. Come here and remove Yi He from his position as minister and demote him to a commoner."

Hearing this, Yi He's whole body was limp on the ground, dumbfounded, and he let others drag him out of Zhengqing Hall.

"Retreat."

Yu Nuoyang said in a deep voice, and stepped back first.

With the actual evidence in front of them, the ministers have nothing to say, even if she is the daughter of King Jing, then why is there a theory of a thief girl, and why she is the daughter of the Tong family, among them, only they know.Prince Jing has explained that this is a family matter, so it is inconvenient for them to guess.
