Su Yao stayed at Gao's house for lunch. When she was on her way back, Mrs. Gao took her hand and patted her hand gently: "Come often in the future. Although this useless person in our family is not very smart, he is also kind and honest. He can be a companion."
Su Yao agreed, turned around, got on the carriage and went straight home.
Old Madam Su had been waiting for her for a long time. Seeing her come back, she asked hurriedly, "Could it be that Mr. Cui thinks that you are involved in Princess Fenyang's case and thinks it is your fault?"
The fact that Fenyang Palace was surrounded could not be concealed. There have been all kinds of rumors in recent days.
But Old Madam Su knew that the Cui family had already revealed their intentions and ill will towards the Su family very early on, especially after the incident with Princess Chun'an, Old Madam Su hated Princess Fenyang even more. This time, it was discovered that the Fenyang Palace was related to the incident at Juhai Manor, and Old Madam Su understood even more that the Fenyang Palace was one of the poisonous snakes lurking in the dark all these years.
After she found out that Princess Fenyang was related to this matter, besides hoping that Princess Fenyang and the Cui family would be destroyed soon, she was also afraid that Cui Yuandao's attitude would change.
Although the Cui family had forced Cui Yuandao out of the Cui family before, people in the world still value returning to one's roots, and a scholar like Cui Yuandao might not be able to get over it.
Su Yao also knew that she was nervous. He took a few quick steps, held her hand, sat down beside her, and shook his head calmly: "No, no, don't worry, Grandmother. Cui Daru himself knows that it was indeed me who exposed and pushed this matter behind the scenes. But if the Cui family has nothing to do with Princess Fenyang, I can't frame them out of thin air. He wouldn't be so unreasonable."
"That's good." Mrs. Su calmed down a little, and with red eyes she touched Su Yao's hair: "Yaoyao, these people...are not human beings anymore. I tell you the truth, from the time your uncle died to now, I have roughly felt his pulse. In the final analysis, they are just for their own interests, so they think the prince is an eyesore and the people who support the prince are an eyesore..."
How similar are the deaths of Master Su and Master He back then to everything happening now
It's like a reincarnation.
Old Madam Su saw a lot of clues from these things. She held Su Yao's hand and asked with some trembling: "Yaoyao, they gave Miss Chen to Shen Hai... They have connections with the sea, then... Then your grandfather's death..."
And the death of the prince...
They were killed by Japanese pirates.
The Japanese pirates landed in Weihai and accurately found the prince who was summoned to Beijing at that time, and then killed him all. Is all this really just a coincidence
Whenever Old Mrs. Su thought about it, she felt a dull pain in her heart.
Su Yao shook her head. These things happened too long ago. She thought for a moment before she said softly, "The court will investigate these things."
The opportunity that Emperor Yuanfeng wanted has come. He cannot give up this opportunity and will investigate it thoroughly. Old Master Yang has also been persuaded by Song Che, and Yang Bo's attitude will no longer be ambiguous. This matter will not end hastily like before, and there will definitely be an explanation.
Old Mrs. Su was eagerly awaiting the results every day.
Princess Fenyang was also in torment every day, but unlike Old Lady Su, she was not expecting the case to end soon. What tormented her was how far the Ministry of Justice had reached in the trial and how much Mr. Bai Qi had revealed.
She was anxious and restless, unable to sleep at night, and her hair fell out in clumps. Even though the Jinyiwei did not disrespect her or torture her, she herself could not bear it anymore.
Mr. Cui was trapped in the palace with her. Seeing this, he comforted her softly: "Princess, don't be too anxious. Things may not be as bad as we think. Maybe..."
But he himself knew that these consolations were too pale and powerless.
Princess Fenyang glanced at him sideways, gnashing her teeth as she threw herself on the table and swept everything to the ground. She sat on the ground in a panic, staring at the messy study in a daze: "Isn't Master Bai Qi very capable? Aren't those over there very capable?! What are they doing at this time?! How did they end up like this?!"
Mr. Bai Qi was in the torture room of the Jinyiwei at this time.
After Gao Ping captured Bai Qiye and confirmed his identity, he immediately reported to the cabinet and Emperor Yuanfeng. Emperor Yuanfeng immediately ordered people to hand over Bai Qiye to the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
This pirate leader who had been roaming overseas for many years actually hid in the capital for many years, opened a restaurant, and was able to bribe ministers like Xu Fengqing. This really made Emperor Yuanfeng very angry. He personally summoned Chen Dong and asked Chen Dong to find out who was the mastermind behind Mr. Bai Qi, regardless of the consequences.
At this point, Emperor Yuanfeng deeply hated the fact that Xiao Heng was no longer around.
So much so that when Song Che entered the palace, he specifically mentioned: "If Ah Heng were here, he would probably be interested in this case."
Song Che looked up at him and saw that Emperor Yuanfeng was also looking at him.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Emperor Yuanfeng called him uncle, and then asked him: "You have actually been brooding over the death of the Crown Princess all these years, right?"
Crown Princess Song Ange is a first-class noble lady in the capital. She is like a pearl that has been carefully polished and placed in front of people, shining brightly and radiantly.
She is the apple of Song Che's eye and Song Xiangyu's younger sister.
Song Che pondered for a while, then nodded happily.
This nod was almost a direct admission that he knew Song Heng's background and had been carefully hiding it for more than ten years.
It also confirmed that the previous excuse about Song Xiangyu's illegitimate child with his mistress was false.
Song Che took a step back and knelt on the ground respectfully, kowtowed to Emperor Yuanfeng: "Your Majesty, I am guilty of deceiving you, and I deserve death!"
Emperor Yuanfeng looked at him for a long time, but he did not get angry. He just sighed slowly, and then let Song Che stand up: "I knew it a long time ago. Uncle, how could a shrewd man like you be so fond of a concubine's son and keep Ah Heng at the risk of disturbing the family? Besides, if you really want to convince Madam Song, there are many ways to do it. But you and Xiangyu made Madam Song know that almost everyone in the city knew that she hated Ah Heng for being a concubine's son..."
At this point, the details didn't matter. Song Che admitted it all: "The more she makes trouble, the more discord they have with each other. Only then will others not doubt Ah Heng's background, and Ah Heng will have more than ten years to grow up peacefully. Your Majesty, we have no choice..."
After all, they are not the worms in Emperor Yuanfeng's stomach, so they cannot estimate how Emperor Yuanfeng will react after learning about this. In this case, they can only try to wait until the most appropriate time to tell him about Song Heng's life experience.
