Chapter 197: I Have My Persistence
Princess Jin's ten fingers that landed on her legs curled, she swallowed her saliva, and said, "What Erchen wants to say is already in his words." Whoever benefited from the case eighteen years ago was the murderer! ”
"What evidence do you have?"
"Erchen has no evidence, but the emperor must have a way to find evidence!"
"You're fabricating without evidence!"
The Emperor walked up to her, "What do you want me to do?" Because you have no basis for accusation, do I have to doubt?! ”
"But the emperor is also standing up for Zhan'er, and investigating the murderer of the horse falling case for Zhan'er, isn't he? Who will be able to attack Zhan'er? It's either your son or your grandson! Why did he do it? Since you've already made a big deal about it, don't you have doubts in your heart? ”
"Even if what you said is true, but you deceived him, saying that Zhan'er is his flesh and blood, and you have asked him to accept this child in the way of cultivating an heir in the past ten years, you can't blame him for being angry!"
The emperor clenched his fists: "He is at fault, he doesn't dare to be so right, but it's not his fault alone, you are also at fault!" I and the queen only have such a son, what do you want me to do? Could it be that a hundred years later, let me go and tell the queen that I killed all three of her sons?! ”
The wind blew in from the window, banging on the window door, and the room suddenly fell silent.
Princess Jin pursed her lips and looked at him, her chest rose and fell rapidly, and her fists clenched tightly: "In this way, the emperor also has a goal in his heart." ”
The Emperor pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Erchen didn't say that Zhan'er is not his flesh and blood." Princess Jin raised her head, her eyes full of fearlessness.
The emperor said in a deep voice: "Are you still denying it?" ”
"Since the emperor is unwilling to be the master for Zhan'er, why should he force his ministers to pierce this layer of window paper?! Even if I was deceived, did the emperor ever think that I did this because I thought it was right for him to raise Zhan'er, and it was right?
"In the end, he is Minjia's father and my husband, let him raise Zhan'er, so that he can also atone for some of his sins! I don't want his descendants to follow him in damnation!
"If I hadn't done this, how difficult would it have been for Zhan'er to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors? If he doesn't, where will he have the opportunity to receive the best education he deserves? How can I be worthy of the Lu family and the emperor?!
"If he hadn't raised Zhan'er, did the emperor think he could be the prince of Taiping for so many years? Even if people don't kill him, heaven will punish him!
"Even if I deceived him, it was because it was the best way to do it under the circumstances!
"Erchen also knows that everything should be reasonable, but if things are as you think, what can Zhan'er do? Is he continuing to confess the thief as his father? Or do you choose filial piety to be the son of a criminal minister?
"Although he is not Erchen's own son, Erchen's efforts in him have surpassed that of Minjia! If the emperor can't make Zhan'er the master, then the retainer must reserve a safe identity for him!
"Because I can't watch him die, I have raised him carefully for so many years, for the fairness and justice in my heart, not to send him to a dead end!"
The emperor opened his eyes and saw that the joints of his fists were already clenched white. "You tell me, will I still harm him?!"
"But what Erchen wants is not just for you to love him, and Zhan'er doesn't just want to be favored by the emperor, what we want is justice and truth!"
Princess Jin's waist was straight: "Even if we have to pay a price for this, Zhan'er and I would rather take the risk of giving up glory and wealth, and just hope that he can stand where he should stand!" ”
"You're stubborn!"
"So if Erchen's answer is as you think, how will the emperor treat Zhan'er?"
"He is my grandson, even if he is guilty, he is not as guilty as him, I will definitely treat him well!"
"But he is not your grandson in the hearts of the world! He can't go back to his biological father, he can only be the concubine born to the concubine of the Jin Palace! He can't afford your preference for him, and it will cause Zhan'er to suffer more deaths in the future! ”
The words lost all cover and were laid out in the candlelight.
The emperor looked at him from a distance of three steps, his chest heaving and his lips pursed.
"So please don't force me, no matter what you say, until you don't have a clear attitude towards the dead, Erchen will never say that sentence. Born as a human being, I also have my persistence! ”
The excitement made the princess's thin body tremble, suspicion is one thing, and it is another thing to be personally certified. Once you admit it yourself, then all the people and things behind the whole thing have to be explained.
If there is no commitment, who can afford to explain?
Their target is not an irrelevant foreign surname, but the emperor's own flesh and blood, and his only remaining concubine!
They fight for the emperor's determination, but this determination is not so easy to do, he may be a wise emperor, but he is also a father! The palm of the hand is meat, the back of the hand is also meat, one side is dead, one side is still alive!
Not to mention that Miaoxin has no confidence in the emperor, even if it is them, they may not have confidence in themselves.
So, how can she shake all the hole cards out?
She leaned down and pressed her forehead to the ground.
The emperor faced the door, and the courtyard was as dark as water.
A nightbird swept through the air, cooing not so lonely.
He stood for a long time with his hand on the door frame, and finally stepped out of the threshold.
Princess Jin was prostrate on the ground, her back curled.
She listened to the footsteps under the door and closed her eyes slowly until all that was left was the chirping of insects.
……
Song Xiang accompanied Lu Zhan and crouched on the rafters until the King of Jin left the main hall and went to the backyard.
After the guards left, she dragged him to the ground.
Or follow the old road to Anqing Gate, and then detour back to Yanzhao Palace.
Chonghua answered halfway as early as possible, and the way back to Yanzhao Palace was safe.
Lu Zhan pulled off his mask, folded it in his hands, and was very silent. As if no one was beside him, Song Xiang turned his back to put his sword and said, "The one who just talked to him should be the warrior he raised." Judging from his meaning, it should be in line with our speculation, and the evidence has been wiped out.
"In addition, it is an indisputable fact that there is an estrangement between him and the princess, otherwise there will be no suspicion that the princess is not in the Yang family."
Speaking of this, she paused: "However, the princess is not in the Yang family, where will she go?" ”
Lu Zhan's hand to untie his pants stopped, and then said, "I know." ”
"You know?"
Song Xiang turned around when he heard this, and when he saw him like this, he could only look away.
Lu Zhan continued to change his pants if no one was around: "Before she went out today, she suddenly asked me about the house in Nancheng, if she was not in the Yang family, then she could only be there." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Song Xiang: "You can't go out like this, there are my clothes in the house, you can find a set to change into, dress up and go out of the gate with me." ”
