After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"Chu Huanyan?" Emperor Xiao quickly moved his eyes to Chu Huanyan with surprise.

Could it be that Chu Huanyan discovered Zheng Li's identity? How could it be possible? She and Zheng Li should have never met each other a few times.

"Yes, it's my daughter." Chu Huanyan met Emperor Xiao's gaze, "I would like to thank the emperor for using false news about Jiang Zhou's whereabouts to lure my daughter out of the city. Otherwise, my daughter would not have noticed Eunuch Zheng."

At that time, I was not fooled because I discovered the ambergris on the note. Although she temporarily escaped Xiao Emperor's temptation by relying on this, there was a faint suspicion in her heart because this matter was completely unreasonable.

Although the scent of ambergris on the paper is not strong, you can smell it as long as you are a little careful.

The person who can come into contact with the paper stained with ambergris must be someone close to Emperor Xiao. If the other party followed Emperor Xiao's order and deliberately wrote false news to test himself, he would really be so careless and directly use the paper in the imperial study. Paper, don't you even notice the smell on it.

So she suspected that maybe someone deliberately used that piece of paper to remind her. But there was no evidence, so Tong Xiang Yue and the others said nothing.

Until Xiao Jinzhi came back, they discussed this point in private. If anyone could really remind them, it would most likely be the secret person who had been hiding around Emperor Xiao for so many years and threatened him.

As for Emperor Xiao, if he could gain his trust, come into contact with the events of that year, know Jiang Zhou's identity, and be able to manipulate when sending letters, deliberately using ambergris-scented paper, I am afraid that there are not many people in the party, so Eunuch Zheng will is the most likely of them all.

After having this guess, Xiao Jinzhi began to secretly observe and test, and finally determined the identity of Eunuch Zheng.

"I have been hiding for so many years, waiting for the time to reveal the truth. Ever since I learned that His Highness the Crown Prince was investigating the incident, I knew that the time had come."

When he saw the letter written in his own tone and placed it on Emperor Xiao's bed, he understood that His Highness the Crown Prince already knew about the existence of the secret person. So when His Highness the Crown Prince came to him, he no longer hid, but took the initiative to admit his identity.

"That's it." After hearing the whole story, Emperor Xiao's face became even more ugly, "Zheng Li, although I have some regrets for you, and I did treat your family too harshly back then, but you have been by my side for so many years. I have never treated you badly..."

"Don't you think it's ridiculous, Your Majesty? You are the master and I am the slave. I have served you with all my heart and soul for so many years. On the surface, I have never made any mistakes. You just let me stay by your side to serve and run errands. That's it." Is it called never being treated badly?"

Eunuch Zheng's expression was filled with a sad and resentful smile, and the dagger in his hand could not restrain his anger and could not help but tremble.

"The lives of my whole family are so despicable in the eyes of the Emperor. Even at this stage, it's just a light word, even if there is something I'm sorry for?"

He was born lowly and became a slave for others, but his family members were all ordinary people. Seeing that the family's situation had finally improved little by little over the years, and his mother's illness had also recovered. He originally wanted to save more money and send it home to make the family's situation better, but what happened?

Even if the life of a slave can only be decided by his master, why does his family also suffer this misfortune!

Seeing that Eunuch Zheng was angry, the dagger in his hand pressed tighter to Concubine Xue's neck.

Emperor Xiao immediately spoke: "Stop, if you dare to hurt Zhi'er, I will cut you into pieces!"

Eunuch Zheng glanced at Concubine Xue and steadied the dagger in his hand, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that the servant has no intention of harming the Concubine, no, the Queen. As long as the Emperor lets Miss Chu go, then the servant will naturally let the Queen go." Empress."

Emperor Xiao frowned and said nothing.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinzhi sneered and said: "The Queen destroyed the evidence for you and arrested Yan Yan again. Now, is it possible that the Emperor is not willing to trade her life for Yan Yan? Or in your heart, the Queen's life is better , the so-called affection and favor are actually nothing compared to the chips in your hand?"

Xiao Jinzhi's tone was sarcastic. Emperor Xiao frowned more tightly and looked at Concubine Xue.

The latter's face was pale and he was obviously frightened by this situation, but he still bit his lips and said nothing.

Seeing this, Emperor Xiao felt a pain in his heart, and finally ordered the guard who caught Chu Huanyan: "Let him go!"

The guard let go, Chu Huanyan walked to Xiao Jinzhi's side, and Eunuch Zheng also retreated to Xiao Jinzhi's side little by little, and then let go of Concubine Xue.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Xue threw herself into Emperor Xiao's arms.

The latter quickly hugged her and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

"Your Majesty is really calm. In this situation, he can still say it's okay." Xiao Jinzhi continued to mock.

Emperor Xiao's eyes moved towards Xiao Jinzhi. The gloomy hatred and anger just now faded away, replaced by aloof coldness and calmness.

"He's just a lowly slave, what kind of secret man? No matter how fancy your words are, what evidence is there to prove it!"

"The slave has in his hand a blood letter written by the late emperor."

Eunuch Zheng took out a piece of bright yellow cloth embroidered with a golden dragon from his sleeve and spread it out in front of everyone.

"This was torn from the dragon robe by the late emperor. When the late emperor learned about everything the emperor had done and knew that he would not be able to recover from the surgery, he wrote this blood book in his own hand. It clearly explains everything that happened, and It explains that Concubine Mei is pregnant. This blood letter is enough to prove everything the emperor did back then, as well as the identity of His Royal Highness."

Although the successive shocks in the past few days were indeed quite severe, at this moment the courtiers looked at the fragments of the dragon robe, and even before they could see the contents clearly, they had already made a decision in their hearts.

Everyone looked at Emperor Xiao on the high platform with disappointment. Even after the birthday banquet, they already had suspicions in their hearts, but now that they heard with their own ears what happened back then, they still couldn't help but feel angry.

The emperor they had been loyal to for so many years turned out to be so despicable and shameless in private. Not only did they murder the late emperor and disregard human lives, they even concealed the life experience of His Highness the Crown Prince. Now, they even want to kill His Highness the Crown Prince to silence him...

"Your Majesty, please give me an explanation for what happened back then!"

"That's right, please tell me what happened back then and how the late emperor died!"

The words sounded like questions, but they already revealed the certainty that Emperor Xiao was the murderer.

However, facing the condemning eyes of everyone, Emperor Xiao did not get angry or panic, but became calmer and calmer little by little.

The next moment, he suddenly laughed, stared at the fragments of the dragon robe in Eunuch Zheng's hand and spoke.

"I really didn't expect that you would be the person hiding next to me, but now, you have surfaced. And... I finally know what the bargaining chip in your hand is!"
