Two days later, He Songfa was also brought back to Prince Hui's Mansion.
Gu Xingyun asked Wei Feng to take He Songfa to the study.
"Old slave, I have met the Crown Prince." He Songfa met Gu Xingyun and bowed down.
Gu Xingyun helped him stand up and asked: "Butler He, how long have we not seen each other?"
"It's been three years. After the prince joined the army, he became more and more heroic and looked more and more like Prince Hui back then." He Songfa said with emotion.
"How many years have you stayed in the palace?"
"This old slave has been with the prince since he was ten years old. He has been with me for thirty-five years now."
"That's what we have grown up with since childhood."
"Yes, the old slave is the prince's servant."
"How does your father treat you?"
"The prince has always treated me well."
"So, you saw him being murdered and humiliated with your own eyes and fled for your life?" Gu Xingyun suddenly put away his gentle greetings and said harshly.
"Old slave..." He Songfa knelt down in fear.
He was scared, what he saw was so scary. He was even more afraid that Concubine Wei and Tian Yuchen would find out and kill him, so he resigned and returned to his hometown and fled for his life. He originally thought that this matter would rot in his stomach until he died.
"Over the years, you have really served as the chief steward of Prince Hui's Mansion. In less than ten years, you have given away nearly a hundred items from the Prince's Mansion?"
"Your Majesty..."
It turns out that the prince has been found out.
He Songfa's face was ashen.
"Father, over the years, out of our youthful friendship, I have taken good care of you. I even made you the general manager of Prince Hui's Mansion, making you outstanding. Is this how you want to repay him?"
"Yes, this old slave is guilty, and I am unworthy of the prince..." He Songfa murmured, and knelt down in front of Gu Xingyun, crying, and said on his knees: "Your Majesty, please kill this old slave. I feel sorry for the prince, and I feel sorry for the prince... "
"Housekeeper He..." Gu Xingyun's tone became warmer.
"I ordered people to take you to the study. I didn't torture you. I just remembered the past friendship. You are the one who grew up with my father, and you are also the one who watched me grow up." Gu Xingyun's voice was full of emotion. Trembling.
"Yes, the old slave is not a human being, the old slave is an animal. How can the old slave watch the prince die miserably. That is the prince who has served the old slave for thirty-five years. That is the prince who treats the old slave like a mountain of kindness. ..." He Songfa felt even more ashamed after hearing Gu Xingyun's words. He slapped himself fiercely and cried.
Gu Xingyun took He Songfa's hand, looked at his tearful face and asked, "Will you follow me into the palace, tell the truth to the emperor, avenge your father's shame, and make the evil woman Ling Chi?"
"I am willing, willing to face the saint and tell the truth."
"Okay. In that case, I, my prince, will forget about the matter of selling the palace utensils."
"When the old slave tells the truth, I will go to the prince myself to apologize." He Songfa has no face to live in this world.
"You go down first and rest for the night. I will take you to the palace tomorrow."
"yes."
Gu Xingyun left the study and asked Wei Feng to arrange a room for He Songfa to stay. He did not need to be locked up, but he was not allowed to leave Yihuayuan.
Gu Xingyun walked all the way to the ancestral hall and saw Princess Hui kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, saluting the beads. She is dressed in plain white, with a thin back. She has just turned forty, but her black hair has turned gray.
Gu Xingyun felt sad because he wanted to hide it from his mother and concubine. However, once the matter is revealed. Mother and concubine, she will know sooner or later. In this case, it is up to him to tell his mother and concubine personally.
He composed his thoughts and stepped into the ancestral hall. He called out: "Mother Concubine."
Princess Hui did not stop holding Li Zhu, and was still chanting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.
Gu Xingyun walked to Princess Hui and squatted down. After a moment of silence, he said, "Concubine, my father was indeed murdered by Wei Yuanyuan."
The hand that was collecting the princess's gift beads stopped. She turned to look at Gu Xingyun and asked, "How to kill him?"
Gu Xingyun turned around Princess Hui and held her hands in his. Then, with a sad expression, he recounted the whole story to her.
Princess Hui was already trembling, her eyes were blank, but her big tears kept falling on the back of Gu Xingyun's hand, with residual heat, but cold and biting.
Gu Xingyun's eyes were already reddish, and his voice was choked with sobs. He gently hugged Princess Hui and said, "Mother, I will avenge my father with my own hands."
Princess Hui lowered her head and rested her forehead on his shoulder. She burst into tears and said, "Your father spent his whole life in the army without a body wrapped in horse leather, yet he died in such a humiliating way."
When Gu Xingyun heard these words, he finally couldn't hold back his tears. He has never cried until now, but his mother-in-law's words were too heart-wrenching...
"Concubine, I will take He Songfa into the palace tomorrow to meet the Holy Spirit."
"How can we convict them based only on He Songfa's words?" Princess Hui's eyes were filled with tears.
"I want to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy."
"I've already experienced it once, no scars, no poisoning, nothing." Princess Hui sighed.
"I want to ask for a caesarean section..."
"What did you say?" Princess Hui asked in shock.
"Mother and concubine, only by cutting open my father's abdomen and letting the emperor see the snake can we convict them!" Gu Xingyun explained.
"you… "
"Mother Concubine? Mother Concubine! Mother Concubine... Come here, ask Doctor Fei!" Gu Xingyun hugged the fainted Princess Hui and shouted to the outside of the hall.
In the room of Jinse Courtyard, Doctor Fei had just finished checking Princess Hui's pulse.
"How is Doctor Fei?" Gu Xingyun saw Doctor Fei getting up and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"The princess has been weak during this period. She was so angry and emotional just now that her blood and energy surged, and she fell into a coma. I gave her a calming prescription to wake her up and feed her. I can't let the princess be irritated anymore."
"Yes, we have Dr. Fei."
Gu Xingyun saw Doctor Fei off and went back to the house to stay in front of Princess Hui's bed. He had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know for a moment whether he would enter the palace tomorrow or not. He was afraid of irritating his mother and concubine again, and he was even more unwilling to let go of the viper and scorpion couple.
Gu Xingyun lay beside Princess Hui's bed.
This guarding lasted until noon the next day, when Princess Hui slowly woke up.
"Mother Concubine." Seeing Princess Hui wake up, Gu Xingyun hurriedly ordered the maid to bring the tranquilizing medicine that had been warmed aside.
He helped Princess Hui lean on the bed and fed her one mouthful at a time. After she finished drinking, she said apologetically: "My son and I were unfilial and hurt my mother and concubine's heart."
"You go into the palace." Princess Hui stroked his cheek and said calmly.
"Mother concubine?" Gu Xingyun looked surprised.
"Instead of letting your father die such a humiliating death, I would rather you ask for a disembowelment and make the truth known to the world."
"Don't worry, concubine, I will wait until the truth comes to light. I will definitely ask the emperor for an order and handle it myself, Wei Yuanyuan and Na Tian Yuchen."
Princess Hui nodded, not wanting to say anything more.
Gu Xingyun helped her lie down and left Jinse Courtyard.
If Princess Hui bursts into tears, your heart will not be broken TT
