The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

Chapter 139 Aunt Lin is released from prison

Yan Henian hurriedly handed over the letter, "Sixteen years ago, the Xiong family army did not rebel, but was probably killed!"

"What?!" Emperor Likang was stunned, and then he quickly read the letter and clenched his hands into fists, "Where is Kou Peilin?!"

"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be verified. Now, Dali Temple, the second prince, and the third prince do not dare to make a decision. What the old minister means is..."

"Check, you must find out for me! If Kou Peilin is really involved in the Xiong Jiajun case sixteen years ago, I will definitely not let him go lightly."

Emperor Likang suddenly asked again, "Is the third prince going to interrogate Kou Peilin with you?"

"Yes, didn't the emperor arrange for the second prince and the third prince to oversee the trial of the Ji family case?"

"Should the Ji family's case be closed this time?"

"Kou Peilin does not admit that he sent people to break into the Dali Temple prison and kill people."

Emperor Likang frowned, "If it's not him, then who is it?!"

Something suddenly occurred to me.

"Ask the third prince to withdraw. There is Concubine Shu between him and Kou Peilin. I'm afraid it will affect you, so just do what I say and don't let him continue to follow you later."

Yan Henian finally felt a lot more relaxed, "Yes, I will tell the third prince."

Seeing that Yan Henian did not leave, Emperor Likang asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"Your Majesty, General Xiong was not dead back then. He was waiting outside the door." Yan Henian observed Emperor Likang's expression and said carefully.

"What? Xiong Changhui is still alive?!"

"Yes."

"Pass, pass him in immediately!"

Eunuch Guo immediately shouted loudly: "It is said that Xiong Changhui has entered the palace!"

Xiong Er strode forward and walked straight towards Emperor Likang. A few feet away from Emperor Likang, he performed the general salute: "Xiong Changhui pays homage to the emperor!"

"General Xiong, please get up quickly." Emperor Likang actually stretched out his hand to help Xiong Changhui up.

"You have Kou Peilin's letter linking the Yuan Kingdom with him. Why didn't you come to see me earlier? When I was the prince, I admired General Xiong's literary, Taoist, and military strategies, and I wanted to make friends with him."

"This letter does not belong to me, but to Miss Jixiang who follows me."

Xiong Changhui said.

Standing in the imperial study room and facing Emperor Likang at this time, he felt as if he had returned to the scene when he was received by the late emperor.

At that time, he was young and promising, and was a role model for the young people of the Great Holy Dynasty.

But now, the charge of treason has not been removed from him.

"Your Majesty, the contents of this letter are true, and in my hands, there are other evidences of crimes committed by Kou Peilin." As he spoke, Xiong Er took out an account book from his chest.

"All the charges and witness statements are here. This is what Miss Jixiang asked me to collect."

Emperor Likang's face was full of curiosity, and he slowly took the account book.

Concubine Shu Kou Xiyao never expected that her father Kou Peilin's case would be concluded in just one day.

She knelt in the royal study room all day in vain, but what she was waiting for was the emperor's conviction of her father.

Because of the account books provided by Jixiang and the testimony of Han Sijin, Xiong Er, Ji Ruian and others, Kou Peilin framed King Ning and Jixiang, and murdered Xiong Jiajun, and was sentenced to death by Emperor Likang himself.

All the men of the Kou family were exiled to the northwest, and the women were sold as official slaves.

Including Kou Xiyao’s seventh sister Kou Qingyao.

She originally wanted to betroth Kou Qingyao to the second prince.

Now, everything is in vain.

"Your Majesty, this is the only thing I ask of you, so you will agree to it, right?"

Kou Xiyao knelt until she reached the willow branches above the moon, just to keep her seventh sister by her side.

"I am willing to let her be a maid beside me. I just want to keep a relative by my side, Your Majesty!"

In the imperial study room, Emperor Likang was really having a headache from the noise.

"Guo Ziyi, go out and ask Concubine Shu to leave quickly!"

Eunuch Guo was in a dilemma, "Your Majesty, I have gone out to persuade you five times, but Concubine Shu..."

Emperor Likang had no choice but to get up and go out.

Seeing the emperor coming out, Concubine Shu knelt and moved towards Emperor Likang.

"Your Majesty, just agree to my concubine!"

Emperor Likang looked coldly at the well-behaved woman in front of him.

"Kou Peilin was a matchmaker for the prince that day, were you involved?"

"I don't think so. How can I influence the prince's marriage with my humble words?"

Concubine Shu cried until she almost fainted.

"Humph, I remember that it was you who told me how good Miss Ji's family was when you were around me. Don't think that I have forgotten it!"

Emperor Likang didn't like the women in his harem participating in government affairs, and he didn't like their involvement with officials of the previous dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Kou Xiyao dared to cooperate with Kou Peilin on the prince's marriage, which not only involved the Ji family, but also harmed Prince Ning and Miss Jixiang.

"Go back quickly, I don't want to see you again!"

After Emperor Likang finished speaking, he turned and left.

Kou Xiyao completely lost hope and collapsed on the ground.

The maids and grandmothers beside him stepped forward to help him.

"Empress, let's go back. Your Majesty will definitely not allow you to keep Miss Seventh."

Kou Xiyao's tears were like broken beads.

Suddenly, she looked at the grandmother beside her.

"Mommy, I ask you to do something for me."

Auntie quickly knelt down and said, "Mother, if you want me to do anything, just tell me, but don't ask for anything."

Kou Xiyao seemed to have made up her mind, "She is my only hope."

Kou Peilin's case was closed, but the Ji family's case could only be delayed again because the real culprit behind the scenes was not found.

However, Emperor Likang issued a decree, and Aunt Lin, Ji Qing and others were released, and part of the Ji family's property was returned.

Of course, as for gold, silver and jewelry, there were no detailed accounts at that time, so we had to leave it alone.

Of course, Ji Ruian was not held accountable. As a victim, he did not ask for compensation from the prince. He had already given the royal family face, and the emperor would naturally not embarrass him again.

But in order to reward Jixiang, he gave Jixiang a set of five entrance halls, which are not far outside the imperial city.

"Miss, should we move to the courtyard given by the emperor, or should we continue to live here?"

Thinking that the young lady's third entrance to the hospital is now very impressive, Erya really wants to see what the fifth entrance to the hospital given by the emperor is like.

Ji Xiang was unconvinced.

At this time, Aunt Lin, Ji Qing and Ji Ruilin came over under the leadership of Ji Ruian.

"Jixiang, your aunt and your third uncle are back."

Ji Xiang turned around and saw Aunt Lin Yu, Ji Ruilin, and Ji Qing standing there dirty.

"Go take a shower and change clothes first. Erya, quickly arrange for someone to boil some hot water for my aunt and third uncle."

Good luck and happiness.

"Yes" Erya ran away in a hurry.

Ji Ruilin stepped forward and held Jixiang's hand, "Jixiang, your father told us everything. If it weren't for you, our Ji family would really have lost its popularity!"

As he spoke, he couldn't stop crying.

"Third uncle, don't be sad. Trust me, our lives will definitely get better again."

"Well, well, it will definitely get better!"

Ji Xiang and Ji Ruilin were talking, but Lin Yu on the other side dragged Ji Qing away angrily.

Ji Ruian was a little embarrassed, "Jixiang, don't blame your aunt. She feels bad when Ji Cheng is gone."

Lin Yu was holding a bundle in his arms, and Ji Xiang saw it just now when he turned around.

She knew that inside were Ji Cheng's ashes.

However, she didn't want to give her any comfort, because what happened to Ji's family was probably related to her, but Jixiang hadn't found any evidence yet.
