"I'm not trying to distinguish Xiao Qi," He Zhilin looked at Jing Ye with stern eyes and said, "I'm just telling what I witnessed back then. Even if King An is really not Xiao Qi's biological father, even if the two of them really have a bloody feud. , it does not mean that Xiao Qi was not involved in the conspiracy to poison the eldest prince."

Jing Ye was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic and did not confront him tit for tat. He just turned to look at Jiang Yu and Jiang Xue, brother and sister, and asked, "I am very curious. How do your two highnesses feel after learning these things?"

Jiang Yu's originally moved eyebrows suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "What does this matter have to do with the prince?"

He looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Even so, what Zhilin said is not unreasonable.

What happened back then involved the interests of both countries and was not driven by the affection between father and son alone.

Moreover, after the incident that year, Qian Guo immediately came to pick up Xiao Qi. If it wasn't for the internal and external cooperation, why would the timing of welcoming the crown prince back be so coincidental? "

Jiang Xue looked at Jing Ye, her eyes suddenly filled with determination.

"Brother Second Emperor, do you still remember that I asked you about the former admonishment doctor Feng Song?"

"Is there such a thing," Jiang Yu said, "Is he related to it?"

Jiang Xue nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's the case."

"The evidence of the crime all pointed to Xiao Qi alone. Therefore, we always thought that what happened back then was solely the work of King Qian Guoan, but we never thought about whether there was someone in the Ji Dynasty who colluded with him, both internally and externally."

"Are you talking about Feng Song?!" Jiang Yu was shocked and said: "How could it be possible? Although he did have many conflicts with the eldest brother in the court, it was just because of different political opinions. Although I was not in the court back then, However, I have also heard that Master Feng has a good official reputation and is a loyal minister of the country. How could he act rebelliously? And this matter happened within the palace, how could he have anything to do with him, a foreign minister? "

"Whether it is related or not," Jiang Xue lowered her eyes and said softly, "it will take some time to find out."

"Brother Second Emperor, do you remember that three or four years ago, that is, before the incident happened, Lord Feng was in his prime and full of ambition, but he suddenly resigned for some reason."

Jiang Yu said resolutely: "Do you think it was the wrong time for him to resign? But it was not for nothing that he became an official. It was because his mother in his hometown was seriously ill and he left the temple to repay the favor of licking the calf."

"No," Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "If you just resign, there is nothing worth investigating. But I went to check the origin of Li Congde a few days ago. Does the emperor still remember Li Congde?"

Jiang Yu clenched his teeth and said, "The Huangmen who poisoned you back then."

"Yes," Jiang Xue said, "He was not serving in my palace early in the morning. He was a person who was convicted in front of the emperor and I protected him. I later asked him to go to Changle Palace."

"On the day he made a mistake in front of the emperor, Feng Song was also there."

"If I remember correctly, Feng Song was a collector at the time," Jiang Yu said. "As a close official of the emperor, it is not surprising for him to walk in front of the emperor."

"I asked someone to check the records. At that time, Feng Song had not entered the palace for many days to meet the emperor. He happened to enter the palace on that day. Li Congde, who had never made any mistakes before the emperor, accidentally knocked over the tea cup that day. What happened to him was that he clung to such an unknown little palace servant and vowed to persuade his father to punish him severely."

"It happened to be that day," Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Yu and said firmly, "I went to the imperial palace to find my father."

"With your temperament..." Jiang Yu clenched his fists, as if suppressing his anger, and said, "You have had a good temper since you were a child, and you have a kind heart. You are always generous to the palace guards. You won’t let it go.”

"Yes, so Li Congde came to my palace to serve me, and he served me very well. Soon he became my most indispensable servant." Jiang Xue said softly, "I used to think that Xiao Qi bribed him Li Congde. But thinking about it now, brother Huang, don’t you think that this matter was planned by someone behind the scenes from beginning to end? "

"Li Congde was brought back to Changle Palace under my protection. He seems to have no connection with anyone. After the incident, you and I found out that Li Congde was adopted by Ganren for a period of time before he entered the palace. In addition, his life experience is just like a picture. It was like a blank piece of paper, so I naturally felt that the only person who could have anything to do with him was Xiao Qi from the Qian Kingdom.

And because I was very close to Xiao Qi at that time, I naturally thought that the reason why Li Congde was so accurate about my diet, daily life, temperament and hobbies was all because of Xiao Qi's guidance.

Li Congde took the letter of collusion with King An and directed the trouble to Xiao Qi, and everything became so logical. "

He Zhilin looked at Jiang Xue, who was full of despair, with a complicated expression, and comforted softly: "From what it sounds like, and the situation at that time, it's no wonder that the two highnesses mistakenly thought that Xiao Qi was the chief envoy. After all, who would have thought that, seemingly, only with Mr. Feng Song, who had a relationship with Li Congde and was already serving as an official at that time, might be related to this matter."

"There are so many coincidences, but the only clue is Feng Song, who has become an official." Jiang Yu slapped the table and stood up, saying: "I have people go to his hometown to search for him, and I must find him back and ask him to find out!"

Jiang Xue grabbed Jiang Yu's sleeve, stopped him and said, "Many days ago, I sent a confidant to Ganzhou."

"After some time, maybe we will know a little bit of the truth."

Jing Ye, who had been standing silently by the window, suddenly laughed.

"I don't know much about the minds of you people from the country of Hebei," Jing Ye said with sarcasm, "But if Gu is the one who instigated Feng Song, he will definitely not be left alive in the world."

"Such a big secret," Jing Yeyun glanced at the two brothers and sisters lightly, "If you want to keep it secret, the living are always not safe. Only the dead are the most reliable, aren't they?"

"I know what you mean," Jiang Xue nodded, and added: "But if Feng Song really died back then, it would be even more clear that not only did what happened back then have nothing to do with Xiao Qi, but even the court is still hiding the true story. The murderer."

Jiang Yu sat down in a daze, then suddenly turned around and asked Jing Ye, "Where are Xiao Qi's bones buried?"

Jing Ye sneered, then looked at Jiang Yu steadily and said, "I didn't come here tonight to listen to you two brother and sister expressing their true feelings and regretting it. Don't look at Gu with such eyes, Gu is disdainful. I know how much you regret Xiao Qi. If you want to find his tomb, it is better to find out the matter and clear the deceased's name. It will also be helpful to our Qianguo court. Otherwise,"

He looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Don't call me here alone, it's a waste of time."

Jiang Xue stood up and walked to him, her watery eyes filled with compassion, but she didn't dare to show it in front of him. She just lowered her head and tugged on his sleeves, saying: "Sit down and talk, I just want to talk first." Only after I explain the cause and effect to the second emperor brother clearly, will he know why I want to go to Jiaodong."

"Xue'er," Jiang Yu suddenly called Jiang Xue, with a worried look in his eyes, "If you enter the palace tomorrow, or in front of Qiong Shuang, don't mention Feng Song for the time being."

Jiang Xue asked doubtfully: "I have always known the importance, but why did the emperor specifically tell me this?"

"In those days, Feng Song," Jiang Yu said softly with dark eyes, "was my grandfather's most proud student."

"Grandpa has not recovered from his illness, so this matter must be hidden from him."

"The eldest brother is my grandfather's most beloved child. When the white-haired man gave me the black-haired man, my grandfather almost fell ill."

"If he knew that his favorite student was involved in the poisoning of his grandson..."

"I'm afraid he won't be able to bear this blow."
