Chapter 997
Zhong Mingwei watched the undisguised anger on Zhong Zhiheng's face after he opened the letter. He swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, and then his eyes fell on Concubine Hui, only to see Concubine Hui drooping. It still looked like a proud and furious fighting cock, but this time it looked like a dying lamb. Zhong Mingwei suddenly clenched his fists and looked away.
"Your Highness, please sit down too," Zhao Ruhai said while moving another embroidered pier to Zhong Mingwei's back, "I heard that your leg disease has recurred, so you should not stand for a long time."
"Thank you, father-in-law." Zhong Mingwei took a deep breath and let it out slowly, then sat down under Zhao Ruhai's earnest gaze.
"Did you write this?" Zhong Zhiheng handed the letter to Concubine Hui, looking straight at Concubine Hui with a pair of angry eyes, and asked in a deep voice.
"How could the concubine...would write a letter to a mere bodyguard?" Concubine Hui said with eyes dodging, then knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and then cried, "Someone must be jealous of the concubine's favor. , So it is necessary to frame the concubine! How could the death of the fourth prince be related to the concubine? The concubine and the concubine have never met each other a few times, so how could they attack the concubine? Long live Lord Mingjian! !"
"You haven't met the fourth prince a few times, but you have met the fourth prince's mother a lot, right?" Zhong Zhiheng said coldly, "You have no grievances with the fourth prince, but you have nothing against the fourth prince's mother. The hatred is as deep as the sea, so if she killed your son, you have to kill her son to take revenge, right?!"
"Long live God! I don't dare! I don't have such vicious thoughts!" Concubine Hui was so frightened that she didn't dare to cry. It was the first time Zhong Zhiheng showed such a furious expression in front of her. She shrank back and said incessantly, "Long live Lord, although the concubine's little prince was killed by the imperial concubine, you have already avenged the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine died a long time ago. The Lord is so grateful, why would he kill the Fourth Prince to vent his anger? Although the Fourth Prince is the son of the imperial concubine, he is the most beloved prince of the Long Live Lord. The prince did it! Long live Lord, you must trust the concubine! You can’t just assume that the concubine hired a murderer to kill the concubine just because of such a piece of waste paper and two lines of ink. Lord, you must not fall into the trap of others!"
Zhong Zhiheng looked at Concubine Hui coldly. Concubine Hui was naked today, she hadn't had time to wash up and put on makeup, and she was crying bitterly. At this time, her face was haggard, her eyes were slightly blood red, and she looked very charming. Zhong Zhiheng saw Looking at her face, Xu Siyao suddenly remembered for some reason. I remembered that when Zhong Mingwei was born, Xu Siyao also looked haggard and weak. She was like a precarious and light kite, as if the string would break at any moment. ...
Zhong Zhiheng took a deep breath, but in the end he took his eyes back from that pale and haggard face, and looked at Jiang Bairen again, and said in a deep voice: "What else do you want to say, just hold your breath." It's all over."
"Yes, my subordinate obeyed." Jiang Bairen was secretly pleased, knowing that Zhong Zhiheng had not been deceived by Concubine Hui, so he continued with the report just now, "The subordinates found letters and bank notes in Guard Fang's room, confirming that Guard Fang I do have contacts with Concubine Hui, and my subordinates found a packed luggage in the room of the palace lady named Qing Xing, and inside the luggage was a gold-encrusted ruby ring."
