483: Secret Letter

Mother Luo thanked Princess Rong and hurried to the study.

In the study, King Wu was sitting on the official chair in front of the window. He didn't know what he was thinking. His face was wood-colored, which made Grandma Luo almost shed tears.

"Old slave pays homage to the prince."

Hearing Grandma Luo's voice, King Wu came back to his senses, slowly turned his head, and his eyes fell on Grandma Luo's head, "Grandma is here, does the concubine have anything to say to you?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked me to tell you that if you keep the Princess this time, you will really get yourself involved. If something happens to you, what will Your Majesty do? Your Majesty, please think about it for Your Majesty. , I just got the news this morning, and I fell ill after returning from Yuanhui Palace. "

King Wu immediately asked: "Is the mother-in-law okay? Is there an imperial doctor?"

"Why would your Majesty declare herself an imperial doctor at this time?" Grandma Luo said helplessly.

King Wu slowly turned around. He knew why he couldn't be declared a medical doctor. His mother and concubine didn't want to cause trouble.

"Did she do it?"

There was no beginning or end to this statement, but Grandma Luo understood it.

"Your Majesty, the princess has always disliked Aunt Zhou, and she has not been seen getting close to Aunt Zhou's child on weekdays. Why did she have to bring the child into the palace yesterday?"

King Wu said nothing.

Aunt Luo sighed softly, "Your Majesty, neither you nor the empress can afford to be charged with murdering the emperor's eldest grandson. You have to think about the empress and the people in this house."

"I understand." King Wu's voice was dull and hoarse, "What else do you want to do when you come to the palace?"

"By order of the Queen, the old slave accompanied Princess Rong to question the Princess."

"...Then go."

Aunt Luo breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw that the prince didn't stop her. That's good, that's good.

After King Wu waited for Nanny Luo to leave, he looked out the window intently. The sun gradually rose, and he vaguely saw the little girl who had smiled brightly at him.

Maybe he shouldn't have willfully asked for his mother's concubine in the first place, and shouldn't have married Ji Yun to be his princess. Since he liked her, he should just take it in his heart and slowly like her.

King Wu thought of what the prince had said yesterday: he was incompetent as an official, unclear about running the family, could neither be filial to his mother and concubine, nor could he distinguish between right and wrong. How could he live like this?

He even more unexpectedly thought that Ji Yun would dare to murder the emperor's eldest grandson.

What kind of hatred or grievance is there?

King Wu thought of this and stood up suddenly. He walked through the hanging flower gate and entered the princess's main courtyard.

People in the yard wanted to greet him when they saw him. He waved his hand for everyone to retreat, walked up the steps, and stood still outside the door.

Inside the room, Zhu Chanyi looked at Ji Yun, whose face turned yellow, and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Ji Yun sat there with his head lowered and said nothing.

Zhu Chanyi looked at her attitude of not being afraid of boiling water, and chuckled, "You think I can't do anything to you if you don't plead guilty? Everyone around you was taken down for interrogation. Do you think it was the Crown Princess's intention? No, it was His Royal Highness who did it. Don’t you still understand? No matter whether you admit guilt or not, as long as the people around you confess and the evidence is complete, you can’t run away.”

Ji Yun still didn't speak.

Zhu Chanyi sighed softly, "I really can't understand one thing. The emperor's eldest grandson has no enmity with you, so why would you attack her? Besides, Yan Fen's nine-month-old child can't even walk. You can be so cruel to let him contract smallpox. You have to know that the child is very likely to die at such a young age. How can you do such a vicious act? "

Aunt Luo stood aside and listened, yes, why?

She also couldn't figure out what Princess Wu wanted to do to harm the emperor's eldest grandson. What hatred did she have?

Zhu Chanyi looked at Ji Yun who still refused to speak, and she suddenly smiled, "Do you think that if you don't speak, no one will know the dirty thoughts in your heart? I never understood it before, but as long as people in this world have done it Things will always leave traces, Hongying, do you remember?"

Ji Yun's lustless face suddenly changed, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Zhu Chanyi.

Zhu Chanyi laughed, and then said disdainfully, "Why, are you scared now? Hongying is also pitiful. I have served you for so many years, but you didn't expect that you sold me to the red head alley. You didn't expect that I would Find her?"

Ji Yun suppressed his anger and said: "A girl who betrays her master, not to mention selling out, even if she is beaten to death, it is her own fault."

"Back to the master? I don't think that's entirely true, right? You betrayed her before you got married, saying that she stole your jewelry and sold it. I asked specifically, and Hongying said that it was absolutely not the case."

"The words of a slave, or a slave who betrays his master, can you trust her words?"

"What you said makes sense." Zhu Chanyi clapped her hands, and soon someone opened the door, and then walked in a woman wearing a pink shirt and skirt. However, this woman was thin, her face was sallow, her steps were sloppy, and she seemed to be dyed. Serious illness is common.

"Girl, do you still remember my slave?"

Ji Yun looked at the person coming and said angrily: "You humble servant, how dare you come to see me? It was your blessing that I spared your life."

Hong Ying heard the words and sneered, "Blessing? Who wants such a blessing? Although I am a slave, I am still a living person. The princess said that I stole your jewelry, but you clearly rewarded me with the jewelry. ”

"Shut up!" Ji Yun's expression was slightly panicked.

"Hongying, you don't have to be afraid. Just tell the truth and I will make the decision for you. If you are really wronged, I will definitely give you justice." Zhu Chanyi looked at Ji Yun and said slowly.

"Hongying thanks Princess Rong." Hongying knelt down and kowtowed. She didn't look at Ji Yun, but stared at the ground and said slowly: "Princess Wu framed the slave for stealing the gold hairpin, just to get rid of the slave, because Back then, Princess Wu was in love with His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Nonsense!" Ji Yun threw the tea cup at hand violently. The tea cup fell on Hong Ying's forehead, and a trail of blood flowed down instantly. "You dare to slander me like this. Who ordered you?"

When Zhu Chanyi heard the meaningful words, she looked at Ji Yun and smiled, "Princess Wu, why do you have to criticize Sang and Huai here? Just say it was me who instigated it? It's a pity that I didn't do it. You I have no grievances, so what reason do I have to slander you, and what’s the benefit to me? Besides, you’re just making accusations based on suspicion, but Hongying’s accusation against you has real evidence.”

Ji Yun's face could no longer be seen. She stared at Hongying and refused to take her eyes back.

Hongying raised her head, and the blood stains on her face made her face look even weirder, "Girl, you didn't expect it, did you? I still have that letter from back then."

Ji Yun trembled all over and looked at Hongying in disbelief.

Hongying laughed loudly, "I didn't want to take it out originally, but the girl insisted on forcing me to death, so I had to leave a way out for myself. At first, the girl accused me of stealing your golden hairpin and refused to see me, so she Someone sold me into a fireworks field. I survived the past few years, just waiting to give myself justice. I thought there was no hope, but I didn't expect that the Ji family fell. When I got the news, I was so happy. I didn't sleep all night. I have done so many things for the girl. I don't ask for glory and wealth. I just hope that the girl will give me a good way out in the future for the sake of being a loyal slave. How could I have imagined that the girl will treat me like a slave? They sent me to the fireworks field, ruining my life and making my life worse than death."

"You're talking nonsense, you obviously made a mistake..."

"Girl, whether it is true or false is not something you can say with your mouth. This slave has reached this stage and can't live for more than a few days after contracting that kind of disease. I am not afraid of death. I only regret that I can't seek justice for myself. I didn't expect God to Have mercy on me, you gave me a chance. This is the last time I call you girl, please take care of yourself."

After speaking, Hongying got up from the ground, then took out a purse hidden close to her body, carefully took out a letter from it, and handed it to Zhu Chanyi, "Princess Rong, this is the letter that Princess Wu wanted to A letter from your servant to His Royal Highness."

Ji Yun suddenly rushed over to grab the letter. Zhu Chanyi kicked her away and reached out to take the letter. She lowered her head and glanced at it. It was indeed Ji Yun's handwriting. She couldn't stand it after reading a few lines. , I miss you every day without seeing you, I miss you often day and night. I really didn’t expect that a person like Ji Yun, who looks elegant, could write such a letter.

Zhu Chanyi finally understood why Ji Yun always looked weird every time she saw Xin Yi after she married King Wu. No wonder she didn't want to take good care of Prince Wu's mansion after marrying Queen Wu. What a moth.

Zhu Chanyi put the letter away and looked at Ji Yun who was lying on the ground silently, "I will report this matter to the Empress and Concubine Ming, as well as the matter of Yan Fen and smallpox to Datian. You can take care of yourself." Bar."

With this letter, Ji Yun had a motive.

Zhu Chanyi opened the door angrily, but she didn't expect King Wu to be outside the door. She was suddenly embarrassed and greeted King Wu.

"Brothers and sisters, you don't need to be polite." King Wu turned aside slightly, and then said directly: "Xin, can you let me see it?"

Zhu Chanyi was a little embarrassed. What if King Wu destroyed the letter?

King Wu probably saw what Zhu Chanyi meant and said softly: "I will only take a look and will not destroy it."

Zhu Chanyi felt a little embarrassed and advised: "Third brother, it's just a letter, why do you need to read it."

"Seventh younger brother and sister, please allow me to take a look."

Zhu Chanyi sighed and handed over the letter.

King Wu took the letter and paused for a moment before reaching out to open it. After a while, he handed the letter back and said, "Thank you seventh brother and sister."

Zhu Chanyi received the letter and felt very pitiful when he saw King Wu, the culprit, "Third brother, the matter has come to this, you still want to be more liberal."

King Wu said nothing and walked into the house.

Zhu Chanyi asked someone to take Hongying with her, and then looked at Aunt Luo, "Are you going back to the palace with me, or..."

"I still have something to ask the princess for, please forgive me for a while."

Zhu Chanyi didn't force it, and said with a smile: "Then I will go back to the palace to answer the question first."

Aunt Luo bowed to thank Princess Wu and sent her away. She took a deep breath and wished she could skin and dismember Princess Wu. How could such a good person like their prince meet such a piece of shit like her.

King Wu looked at Ji Yun who was lying on the ground and just stood looking at her.

Ji Yun slightly raised his head and looked at King Wu, with no expression on his dull face. The two were clearly facing each other, but it was so dull that even breathing felt like a luxury.

"Since your heart belongs to you, why did you marry me in the first place?" King Wu wanted to ask clearly. If he hadn't met her outside the palace and smiled at him, how could he have mistakenly thought that she liked him and then begged his mother and concubine? Help with marriage.

If it was just wishful thinking on his part, he wouldn't ask for this marriage.

Ji Yun sneered, "My family wants me to marry, so I will."

As long as that person is not His Royal Highness, it doesn't matter who you marry.

What's more, marrying into the royal family will also have the opportunity to meet His Highness, so when her family asked her to marry her, she knew that King Wu liked her, so she deliberately found an opportunity to meet him, and the matter was settled.

"I see." King Wu nodded slightly. He had a lot of questions to ask, but now looking at Ji Yun, he suddenly felt that it was meaningless. "You take care of yourself. If you want to save your life, it's best to tell the person behind the scenes, otherwise no one can save you. Our marriage is over, and the right and wrong are revealed."

Ji Yun looked at King Wu's back and left, opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything in the end.

Last, Nanny Luo came in and looked at Ji Yun expressionlessly and said, "Princess, you will bear the consequences of what you did yourself. If you still have a conscience, don't implicate the prince."

Ji Yun didn't even look at Nanny Luo. She didn't like anyone around Ming Fei, so she remained silent.

Nanny Luo was furious when she saw this, and then sneered, "Princess, do you really think you can just keep silent? When the Ji family fell, at least they left a complete body for burial. This time, the emperor murdered the emperor's eldest grandson. Do you think His Majesty will be angry with the Ji family? After all, there is a precedent of opening the coffin and mutilating the body. You took the blame for someone else, but the unlucky one is the Ji family's ancestor. How can you face your ancestors in the afterlife?"

Ji Yun's expression finally changed at this moment, and he looked up at Nanny Luo.

Nanny Luo breathed a sigh of relief, after all, there was still a little weakness, "Princess, you have to think clearly, take the blame for others or make meritorious contributions."

Ji Yun looked depressed, opened his mouth, and finally uttered, "I say."

Nanny Luo smiled, "Bring paper and pen."

Ji Yun felt that the pen was heavy, and it took a long time before he started to write.

Nanny Luo took Ji Yun's confession and looked at the palace servants who brought her. "Keep an eye on the princess. Don't make the slightest mistake."

"Yes."

Nanny Luo went to see King Wu first and handed over the confession. "Your Highness, the Queen said that if the princess wrote a confession, please give it to the Crown Prince in person."

King Wu took the confession and looked at it carefully. His face changed again and again. "Nanny, go back to the palace and tell my mother to rest assured. I know what to do."

Nanny Luo looked at the prince and smiled with relief. "Your Highness can think it through. The Queen is relieved in the palace. This matter is of great importance because it is inevitable that the princess will be implicated. The Queen said that it would be nothing if she was implicated in the palace. At most, she would be demoted, but your Highness must be careful."
