When Aunt Luo Xia confirmed that the corpse on the ground was Cui Hao, she looked at me with some surprise but also a lot of relief, and the ending in front of me was my satisfactory answer to the Empress Dowager and Aunt Luo Xia.

The first thing I did when I returned to the princess's mansion was to come to this hidden dungeon again, and then handed a glass of poisoned wine to Cui Hao, yes, I decided to take his life with my own hands, and I planned to do it according to the queen mother's wishes.

The process was very simple, and Cui Hao knew that he was in danger, and after I told him that Wan'er was fine, he drank the poisoned wine very calmly, ending his painful and tragic life.

After carefully confirming that Cui Hao was really angry, Aunt Luo Xia looked at me standing on the side with an indifferent expression, but she couldn't tell what she felt, but she felt that the child in front of her seemed to have grown up in a moment, and he began to become cold and decisive......

Isn't this what she wants to see? To survive in this treacherous court, ruthlessness and determination are indispensable, and she should be happy for this child!

However, I probably won't see him smile so pure and sweet anymore, right?

"Chen'er, you're doing a great job!"

Aunt Luo Xia did not hesitate to praise, even when this praise was spoken, there was something unpleasant in her heart.

"Aunt Xie's praise!"

I just smiled indifferently to satisfy my aunt, and I think this decision was made very correctly.

"I will tell the Empress Dowager truthfully, and I believe that she will be very satisfied with your decisive decision. It's just that...... Wan'er, if you're not worried, will she blame you?"

Aunt Luo Xia was unconsciously worried about these two children, Wan'er's strong personality, she knew.

At the mention of the princess, I couldn't help frowning, and although I was sad in my heart, I had to pretend to be calm, and my expression was not shocked, and I was saying:

"Princess, she loves me very much, and I love her very much. So, I'm sure the princess will be considerate of me making this decision. Because nothing is more important to me than her!"

"You said you loved her very much, including stopping her from continuing that obsession?"

Aunt Luo Xia didn't seem to believe what I said, because she preferred to believe that I would not care about the princess's words.

I know what Aunt Luo Xia's obsession is about about the princess, that is, the rebellion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back then. But I know that now, even if Cui Hao does not die, it is impossible for this case of rebellion to be overturned.

"If that obsession hurts her, then why let her continue that obsession?"

I say it for granted.

"She won't give up lightly ......"

Aunt Luo Xia really knows the princess.

"I'll make her give up!"

What I say is not to be ignored.

I took out the book of "Hundred Officials' Description" from my arms, and deliberately let Aunt Luo Xia see clearly what I was holding in my hand.

"That's ...... "Hundred Officials' Statement"?!"

Aunt Luo Xia was also surprised, she never thought that Gao Qin would actually hand over such an important thing to Chen'er, which means that Gao Qin has already handed over the rights of the Gao family to Chen'er, is Chen'er already the real patriarch of the Gao family?

I smiled and said:

"Auntie, you should know very well that the two most critical clues about the truth of the prince's rebellion case are Cui Hao and this book "Hundred Officials' Statement". Now that Cui Hao is dead, the rest of the book "Hundred Officials' Description" ......"

Before I could finish speaking, I did not hesitate to throw the book into a nearby brazier, and with the crackling of firewood, the book was already burned to ashes after an open flame.

Seeing that I did not hesitate to destroy the "Hundred Officials' Narrative" that the princess had once spared her life to get in an instant, Aunt Luo Xia was worried and hurriedly said:

"That's what you do...... Wan'er, she's going to hate you!"

"I don't have a choice, auntie. As I said, nothing is more important than her!"

When Aunt Luo Xia heard this, she only sighed silently.

Even if I was resented by her, I recognized it.

Because I know very well that it is impossible to overturn the rebellion case through the normal legal procedures of Guò. If someone says that the rebellion case was an unjust case and the court made a mistake, then who can take responsibility for this wrongful case of rebellion?

Do you want to track them down one by one? It will be difficult for everyone from the royal family to the gate lords and magnates.

This is a serious crime that violates the bottom line of the Empress Dowager and shakes the country's foundation, the Empress Dowager has checked and balanced the balance of power between the court and China for many years, and will never allow this kind of subversion of the court and shake the country's foundation, even if it is the closest to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, it is not allowed!

Therefore, even if Cui Hao is still alive, it is impossible for him to pass the normal case hearing and let the rebellion case be overturned and retried. Take 10,000 steps back and let him enter the judicial process, the nature of this case will not be related to the rebellion of His Royal Highness the Prince, and those who will be implicated will only be those Hanmen scholars who survived back then.

Because when the time comes, those gate lords with ulterior motives will use Cui Hao's participation in this rebellion case as an excuse to repeat the tricks, and slaughter the poor scholars under the slogan of "If you are not of my race, their hearts will be different", and those who have entered the career of the poor men by their own efforts will be another unspeakable disaster!

Therefore, no matter what, at this moment, Cui Hao must not be alive......

"Now, my aunt can rest assured. ”

Now that Cui Hao is dead, and the most important "Hundred Officials' Narratives" has also been burned by me, the princess is already powerless to retry the prince's rebellion!

Aunt Luo Xia was silent for a moment, and then commanded, saying:

"Let people bury Cui Hao, after all, their Cui family, this is really the annihilation of the clan!"

"Yes, Chen'er will do it carefully. ”

I bowed respectfully as a sign of seeing my aunt off.

My aunt had only walked a few steps, and then she turned around, her eyes were sharp, and she could see through people's hearts almost at a glance, and asked me again softly, and said:

"You're not going to give up on finding out who that person is, are you?"

Aunt Luo Xia said that it was the traitor.

She has already seen through my thoughts, although for the sake of the overall situation of the court, I personally cut off the important evidence and clues for the retrial of the prince's rebellion case, but I will definitely not let go of the traitor hidden in it.

I was silent for a moment, and then said coldly in an affirmative tone:

"I'm going to make that man pay the price he pays!"

Since I can't punish that person with the law, I'll do it in my own way!

Aunt Luo Xia looked at my eyes that gradually became cold, and felt a pain in her heart, and couldn't help but reach out and caress my face, just like a mother looking at her child who had done something wrong, she only felt that it was not to beat, and it was not possible to scold, this sense of powerlessness suddenly made my aunt's originally loving face look a little vicissitudes.

"Chen'er, do you know how terrible your gaze is? If you go the wrong way, she will be very sad. Don't let her down!"

After all, Aunt Luo Xia still couldn't ignore Wan'er's wishes, after all, she had never seen Wan'er like that, Wan'er held her hand sadly, begging her to be an aunt, begging her to protect the child's original intention......

Wan'er Says:

Don't ruin Yat-sen like you ruined him......

As long as it is for him, she is willing to give up and continue to investigate the truth of the prince's brother's rebellion......

......

Wan'er, she really loves Chen'er more than she imagined......

Shaking her head, Aunt Luo Xia finally turned around and left the dungeon without looking back.

And I stood there, tears already falling uncontrollably.

Wan'er, if I do this, I should disappoint you, right?!

......

When I returned to the princess's bedroom, Ziyu had already served the princess with a decoction, and because of the effect, the princess had already fallen asleep, and Ziyu had been waiting by the side, not daring to leave lightly.

Seeing that I was back, Ziyu unconsciously showed a sad look, and wanted to say goodbye, but in the end there was only a helpless sigh.

Thinking about what happened today, she already knew it, but it was very rare, she was not so angry that I didn't take good care of the princess, and spoke coldly to me.

She bowed to me silently, and then whispered:

"Master Pony. ”

I couldn't hide my tired look, nodded to her slightly, asked her to get up, and then walked over slowly, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at her gradually recovering some bloody face, as well as the sound of steady breathing......

After a moment of silence, I couldn't help but ask softly:

"Ziyu, did I do it wrong?"

What I did after I returned home, naturally someone in the house would know, and of course Ziyu would also know.

Ziyu was silent, because even she didn't know whether what I did was right or wrong, what she knew was that everything I did was to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Her Royal Highness the Princess also tried her best to protect the princess.

Ziyu doesn't seem to know how to tell the difference between right and wrong!

After thinking about it for a long time, Ziyu could only stand aside and cry silently......

"Silly girl, don't cry, otherwise, the lord will know about it, and he thinks I'm bullying you!"

I said with a wry smile, and then looked back at her, and couldn't help but reach out to touch her eyebrows, even in illness, her face is still the best-looking, in my heart, it will not look better than her, never, there will never be.

Leaned over, a soft kiss fell between her foreheads, and looked at her reluctantly, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

"Ziyu, because of the order of the inspector to investigate the big case, the Imperial Observatory will become very busy these days, so I will come back a little late, so I will ask you to take good care of the princess. ”

In order to find out what happened back then, since it was impossible to get information from the old people, it was necessary to look at the case files of that year.

"Don't worry, Ziyu will definitely take good care of Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

With Ziyu here, I am very relieved.

"By the way, in two days it will be the Empress Dowager's birthday, and the princess should not be too tired, and then you will have to work up and down the mansion. ”

Ziyu woke up. ”

I nodded, and then said gently:

"I'm relieved to have you there. You're tired, so go back to your room and rest first, I'll watch the princess tonight, and when it's almost midnight tomorrow morning, you can take care of the princess for me!"

Ziyu knew my intentions, and readily agreed, saying:

"Yes, the purple jade retreated first. ”

After saying that, he slowly left the house and closed the door.

I knelt quietly beside the bed, kneeling beside her, silently gazing at her sleeping face, and at this moment, as long as I could be by her side, I had nothing more to ask for......

Thinking of the book that I destroyed with my own hands, my eyes couldn't help but sink, and when I saw that there were some defects in the roster, it confirmed that my expectations were indeed correct, the key pages had long been missing, and the name of the traitor must have been written on these broken pages.

Originally, according to his uncle's methods, if this register was complete, then he should have found out the traitor a long time ago, and the only explanation was that when this register was handed over to his uncle, it was incomplete.

The point is, who is the person who tore off some of these pages? and the person who had the opportunity to handle the roster is suspicious.

The reason why Cui Hao has always believed that it was my uncle who killed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was because even he might not know the existence of the "Hundred Officials' Description" back then, let alone know that this list was handed over to his uncle by Cui Tingyou on the eve of the prince's rebellion.

And then he may have heard some kind of rumor, or someone with a heart to use it, and after learning that this "Hundred Officials' Statement" was in the hands of his uncle, he saw that his uncle used this roster to wantonly kill the righteous people of the Han family, so he was sure that his uncle was the culprit who killed His Royal Highness the Prince.

Since Cui Tingyou has not even informed his most trusted and close brother of the roster, it is conceivable that there should be very few people who know.

Could the person who tore those pages out be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Is it Choi Ting-woo? or ...... Who came into contact with my uncle?

If so, what might they be for?

......

Speaking of which, the appearance of the person who contacted my uncle back then, black clothes and black hats, difficult to distinguish, and behavior, not like ordinary people, isn't that the Shadow Guard?!

If that person is a Shadow Guard, could it be the Shadow Guard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

......

I couldn't help but knock on my head, after all, there are too many uncertain factors plaguing me, and if you want to completely unravel this mystery, it seems that you still need to conduct a secret investigation.

Like a wounded little beast, his body unconsciously leaned closer to her. hugged her tightly, lowered her eyes slightly, and kept struggling in my heart, because I didn't want to see her sad and sad appearance, let alone let her down......

However, Wan'er, the court government will never be able to do without the figure of conspiracy and power, how can I be alone in this treacherous political struggle and keep my original heart?

Can you sue me, me, what should I do?
