The atmosphere in the room was filled with anger. Prince Linjiang did not hide his anger at all. He did not even glance at Shen Chen who had come out. He waited until Eunuch Man and the others came back in a hurry and closed the door before he raised his eyebrows and looked at Old Madam Wei: "If you have anything to say, just say it. I also want to hear clearly, what relationship does this prince have with the injustice of the Ming family?!"
It was as if a knife had stabbed directly into her heart. Old Mrs. Wei felt as if her heart had been pierced and was bleeding. She used to be wholeheartedly seeking revenge for the Ming family because she felt that she had nothing to lose. Her husband and eldest son had died with the Ming family, and of the remaining three sons, two were not her biological children, and the other one was almost as good as non-existent.
But it's different now, she can't give up completely-----Liu Cheng said, she still has An An... ... and the Wei family. The Wei family is not the same as before. After all, the second lady and the third lady have truly treated her as their mother-in-law over the years. And the second master and the third master, they escorted her into the palace, and are now waiting outside the Donghua Gate. As long as she makes any mistake in the palace, as long as she tells what happened that year, she will die quietly in the palace, even Wei An and Prince Linjiang will not allow her to live, let alone others. I'm afraid that no one in the Wei family will escape.
Whenever Mrs. Wei thought about that scene, she found it unbearable.
But she really felt unwilling and unable to give up the injustice of the Ming family and the truth that was right in front of her.
Her heart ached as if being stabbed by needles, but she showed nothing on her face. Seeing that Prince Linjiang looked at her unkindly, she was able to force a smile and said coldly, "You should ask Eunuch Huang."
King Linjiang then became thoughtful and asked her, "What do you mean?"
"I don't know what it means..." Mrs. Wei had made up her mind, so she didn't hesitate any longer, and put on a sarcastic look on her face: "Today, the third wife of the Qin family came to visit our house. She was a distinguished guest and she specifically asked to see me, so I went to see her. She told me about An An's affairs in the palace and told me that something happened to An An... I was so anxious that I couldn't bear it any more, so I handed in a card and went into the palace, wanting to see you and ask if something really happened to An An. But after I entered the palace, I didn't see you immediately, but was taken to another place..."
Prince Linjiang listened attentively with a solemn expression. When he saw her pause, he urged her, "Why don't you say anything? If you have anything to say, just say it. There is nothing you can't say."
Madam Qin San? The Qin family? He had already stirred up a huge wave of anger in his heart without making a sound. If the Qin family dared to do such a thing... He narrowed his eyes, and some doubts took root in his heart. What reason did the Qin family have to do this
The death of Princess Linjiang has now become common knowledge - the news of Princess Linjiang's death had already spread before the day of the palace coup.
So the Qin family wanted to avenge Princess Linjiang? That's why they did this
Old Madam Wei coughed a few times, looking very old and weak. She sneered and said sarcastically, "Right after that, I actually met an old friend. Don't you think it's strange? It was so perfect and coincidental that I actually met Liu Cheng, who had been adopted by my Ming family and raised like a member of the Ming family after I got married... I always thought he was dead..."
Mrs. Wei's words successfully made King Linjiang feel anxious. He couldn't sit still anymore and stared at Mrs. Wei coldly, as if he was looking at a stranger: "What did he say to you?"
"It was too late." Old Madam Wei suddenly became excited. She sneered through gritted teeth: "When he came in, he knelt down in front of me and kept kowtowing to me, saying that he was sorry..." She carefully glimpsed the livid face of King Linjiang with her peripheral vision, and without even stumbling, she went on to say: "But when I asked him why he said sorry to me, he didn't say anything! I was so anxious that I pointed at him and accused him of being a lunatic, asking if he was hiding something from me. He refused to say anything, and was hesitant and annoying..." The expression on Old Madam Wei's face was not good, almost ferocious. Seeing that King Linjiang's face was getting worse and worse, she angrily said: "He won't say anything, no matter how I force him! He appeared in front of me, but he didn't tell me anything, it's a joke! But when I wanted to ask clearly again, he had already opened the door and ran out!"
Prince Linjiang looked at the expression on Old Lady Wei's face expressionlessly, trying to guess how true or false these words were. When he heard what Old Lady Wei said, he said "oh" and spoke in a meaningful tone: "You just said, he ran away? He ran away without saying anything?"
"She ran out without saying anything, grabbed Eunuch Huang, said something to him and then died." Old Madam Wei let out a breath, it seemed that she was still angry. After a moment, she seemed to be unable to hold on and suddenly fell down heavily, gasping for breath. Soon she seemed to faint and there was no movement.
Prince Linjiang had to be moved, and he immediately stood up and called for help. When he saw Eunuch Man and others coming in, he said, "Go and call the imperial physician!"
Old Madam Wei tried to hold on to her spirits. Seeing how agitated he was, she could not speak without difficulty: "Your Highness... ask me clearly... otherwise... I will not be able to rest in peace even if I die."
As if he was really stimulated by this incident, Prince Linjiang nodded slowly, but the strong defensiveness and vigilance in his eyes did not retreat at all. He whispered a few words and said to Old Lady Wei: "You should take care of yourself first. Now in the palace... you should stay with Concubine Shu first, it will be safer."
This meant that she was half-believing and half-doubting and wanted to keep her in the palace first. Old Madam Wei felt that her clothes were already sticking to her back. She was almost soaked with cold sweat, but she still gritted her teeth and said stubbornly: "Prince, please find out for me how Liu Cheng came here and who asked him to come. Tell me what to say, otherwise I will never be willing to die."
Prince Linjiang looked expressionlessly at the old lady Wei as the palace maids carried her out on a Changchun stool. A haze appeared in his eyes, and he ordered Eunuch Man: "Bring in Eunuch Huang."
What exactly is going on? Is someone deliberately deceiving him and wants to expose what happened that year to Old Lady Wei so that everyone in the world will know that he is a sinister villain? Or is it that Old Lady Wei knows something and is deliberately deceiving him? We will know if we investigate.
After all, he has everything in his hands now. No matter what the result is, this matter will always be kept secret and not a single word will leak out. (To be continued)
