Su Yao had a feeling that it was as expected.
Ever since Zhuiyun's accident, she felt that this matter was not simple. The person who did this was obviously a person with a strong sense of revenge. Otherwise, who would attack a beast? He even spared her horse, which must mean he hated her to the extreme.
She thought of many possibilities, wondering if there was anyone in the paddock who hated her so deeply, but she couldn't think of one.
Since she couldn't think of anything, she simply stopped thinking about it.
It is not that difficult to draw out those who harbor such deep hatred for her.
It just so happened that her horse was seriously injured, and her proposal to return to Beijing early was in line with her usual cautious style and would not arouse suspicion. What's more, some people couldn't bear it when they were angry. People always feel that they are special and are favored by God. This is always the case no matter who they are.
Now I have indeed caught a big fish.
Li Jiamin.
Thinking of the arrogant and vicious young lord, all the doubts in Su Yao's heart were answered. He lowered his eyes and looked gently at the checkered stone bricks on the ground.
At this time, Emperor Yuanfeng was looking meaningfully at Li Jiamin who was kneeling on the ground, and he said meaningfully: "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Jiamin."
Li Jiamin lay prone on the ground. He had used up all his strength trying to escape from the Jinyiwei, and was unable to move when he was captured. Moreover, Chen Dong had thrown him on the back of a horse and nearly shook his stomach out. He was so exhausted that he could not even utter a word of begging for mercy. He just looked at Emperor Yuanfeng in horror.
Emperor Yuanfeng sat at the top and looked at him, curling his lips lightly: "I remember sending you back to your hometown to study. Why did you run back from such a far place like Zhangzhou? Not only did you run away, but you also followed me to the enclosure. What do you want to do?"
Li Jiamin was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat. It took her a long time before she opened her mouth and called out "Your Majesty". She was at a loss for words and began to defend herself: "Your Majesty, I... I didn't mean it. I was just bored staying at home..."
After all, he was not that stupid. He knew that it was meaningless to deny it at this time. He could only try his best to say things in a direction that was beneficial to himself and Princess Mingchang's Mansion.
It is better to be stubborn and unruly than to be cunning and rebellious.
Li Jiamin's face turned pale, and her hands almost peeled off a layer of skin on the floor tiles. She shook her head in fear and anxiety: "I ran back to the capital secretly, leaving the guards behind. I heard that my grandmother followed you to hunt... so I followed her. When I arrived, I heard that Su Yao, that little bitch, actually defeated the Mongolian princess and got a Ferghana horse. I couldn't stand her being better than me, so..."
He kept rubbing his hands and repeating what he had said before over and over again.
Emperor Yuanfeng stared at him coldly, raised his eyebrows after a while, and suddenly asked him: "Who ordered you to do this?"
Li Jiamin was suddenly shocked. He realized that he had made a very stupid decision. He should have listened to Princess Mingchang. Yes, he could not have avoided her. Why did he go crazy and plot against Su Yao? Even at this point, he still held a grudge against her, so that things had developed to the point where they were irreversible.
He could feel that his back was covered in sweat, and his mind was working rapidly, but his first reaction was to subconsciously shake his head: "No one ordered me to do this. My grandmother didn't know I was back. I begged Li Yun to bring me into the camp..."
But even he himself felt that this argument was not convincing at all.
Unless he has connections everywhere, then are all these guards just for show
How could he collude with the eunuchs without going through the people in the princess's mansion
This means that Princess Chang didn't know he had come to the tent, which was really a joke.
Emperor Yuanfeng sneered.
Li Jiamin felt so frightened by the laughter that she burst into tears and wanted to see Princess Mingchang.
He wanted to see Princess Mingchang, so Emperor Yuanfeng waved his hand and asked someone to invite Princess Mingchang over.
Princess Mingchang came very quickly. As soon as she entered the room, she knelt straight on the ground and kowtowed several times to Emperor Yuanfeng.
Emperor Yuanfeng was silent for a while before he spoke: "I remember that just now my sister was speaking righteously, saying that she didn't know anything about the little clip, and she didn't send anyone to poison the Ferghana horse."
Princess Mingchang bit her lip, looking embarrassed, but she still took a deep breath, kowtowed to Emperor Yuanfeng and confessed her guilt: "Jiamin came six days ago. When I saw him, I was also shocked and panicked. I didn't know what to do. I subconsciously didn't dare to let him show up, for fear that he would be held accountable... I doted on him too much, and I wanted to send him back to Zhangzhou quietly, so that this matter could be treated as if it had never happened. This is my fault, Your Majesty... I am willing to accept the punishment. But about the poisoning of the Ferghana horse, Your Majesty, please believe me, I really didn't know about it. If I knew at the time, I would be the first to stop him..."
At this point, the evidence is irrefutable. There is no benefit in simply denying it. Instead, the case will be investigated to the end. If the investigation continues, the existence of Cui Qi and others may not be concealed.
Once you are linked to Cui Qi, you will never be able to wash yourself clean even if you jump into the Yellow River.
Thinking of what Cui Qi said, Princess Mingchang couldn't hide her complicated feelings.
Emperor Yuanfeng stared at her straight in the eyes. Seeing her embarrassed face, he pondered for a moment before asking, "Does the emperor know why he was arrested?"
Princess Mingchang shook her head.
Emperor Yuanfeng did not hide the secret from her and told her in a deep voice that Su Yao had designed to release the news of returning to Beijing early. As a result, Li Jiamin believed it and even did the stupid thing of kidnapping Su Yao and revealing her identity.
Princess Mingchang was so angry that she was shaking all over.
She thought Li Jiamin knew what happened and ran away, but she never expected that Li Jiamin was still planning to catch Su Yao.
What on earth is going on in his head?!
He didn't know how to restrain himself at all, and instead became even more troublesome!
This kind of evil!
Because she was too excited, Princess Mingchang's face turned purple, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. Even breathing became difficult. Then she suddenly used all her strength, turned around and slapped Li Jiamin fiercely, scolding him harshly: "You are an unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial thing! Who are you worthy of? You'd rather die than live!"
Emperor Yuanfeng was just watching at first, but when he saw Princess Mingchang sway a few times, he felt something was wrong and could not help but shouting "Imperial sister". However, Princess Mingchang suddenly fell down and landed heavily on the ground with a loud bang. Li Jiamin was so scared that she rushed forward to push her, crying and calling her grandmother.
If Princess Mingchang was angered to death by him here, then he would be really dead!
