Rebirth: Miss Xiao doesn’t want the heir apparent anymore

Ji Xiang felt a chill when he saw him fawning and trying to please him. How could he have thought he was an upright man before?

"Mr. Wen, I advise you to confess honestly to avoid any physical pain."

Ji Xiang persuaded with a solemn expression, then turned to Master Zhang and said, "Sir, why don't you bring his personal servant to Dali Temple for interrogation? There is no way the people around him don't know what their master has done."

"This is what I mean." Mr. Zhang asked his men to put Mr. Wen on the torture rack and begin the torture. Seeing that there was no room for change, Mr. Wen confessed honestly:

"Master Zhang, it's really not me who killed Jixiang's mother. My aunt asked me to threaten Manu and tricked Jixiang's mother into a ruined temple to threaten her and ask her to tell the truth about Concubine Yun Gui. But she refused. I just signaled Manu scared her, who knew that Manu had killed her. I was afraid of being discovered, so I asked Manu to hide. After two or three years, my aunt said it was almost done, and asked me to go find Manu again and take a look. Can you take anything out of his mouth? When my aunt found out that she had a daughter who was thirteen or fourteen years old, she changed her mind and decided to take advantage of her daughter."

"I really just helped run errands and didn't do anything."

Ji Xiang had a complex look on her face after hearing the ins and outs of the matter. The master her mother tried so hard to protect was betrayed by her. She didn't know if her mother's spirit in heaven would blame her.

In the end, Young Master Wen's personal servant also confessed in this way. Young Master Wen was sentenced to three years in prison for instigating others and causing their death, while his personal servant was demoted as a slave.

Emperor Qing ordered Wentian Pavilion to choose an auspicious day for Jixiang to recognize her ancestors and return to the clan. According to the ranking, she was called the fourth princess without a title.

The queen was deposed and the royal family's heirs withered. The ministers strongly recommended that Emperor Qing should establish a new queen and take concubines to propagate the royal bloodline. Emperor Qing was so upset that he summoned Marquis Pingyang to the palace.

In the imperial study, Eunuch Li was guarding the door. Emperor Qing looked troubled, and Marquis Pingyang also looked gloomy.

"Wan Qing, he is the best candidate to inherit the throne, I think..." Emperor Qing hesitated to speak.

"Your Majesty, don't even think about it. Your Majesty is now strong and strong. If you work hard, it won't be a problem to have a few more. There will always be suitable candidates." Marquis Pingyang's words were a bit rude.

The words did not make sense, Emperor Qing was so angry that he kicked Pingyang Marquis out. Even though he was old and still had this kind of virtue, he didn't know what the emperor's sister saw in him.

In the past two days, Mrs. Fu often visited Pingyang Hou Mansion and asked Li Jinran about Fu Yingyu, and Li Jinran answered truthfully.

"Miss Li, Mingxuan said that you are the little princess of Donglin. I want to ask you, is Yingyu happy in Donglin?" Mrs. Fu's face was full of expectations, waiting for Li Jinran's answer.

"The emperor's sister-in-law is very good. The emperor only loves her. There is not a single concubine in the harem." Li Jinran had mixed feelings in her heart and acted as if she had a good relationship with Fu Yingyu. She originally wanted to call her by her first name, but she was wary. Mrs. Fu's mood pitied the hearts of parents in the world. She didn't want to break a mother's heart.

After hearing Li Jinran's words, Mrs. Fu felt relieved. Yingyu also sent her a message, but she was worried that Yingyu would report good news but not bad news. Now the little princess of Donglin said the same, so she was right.

Mrs. Fu and Li Jinran chatted for a while and then went back. Li Jinran stared blankly at Mrs. Fu's leaving figure with a sad face, while Bei Yujue looked at her sadly.
