Chapter 135: The Unbearable Truth
Looking at King Chen's evil smile, Chu Lixue knew that he must have some way to make the other party crazy. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Jiang Guogong's matter was put on the agenda, and the most ridiculous thing was that the emperor closed the case without evidence.
Although Jiang Guogong walked out of prison, but the military power was not handed over to him again, which is equivalent to hollowing out Jiang Guogong's power in the court, a general with a lot of military achievements, if he does not have military power in his hands, just let him do some things on paper, it is a very aggrieved thing.
When Jiang Guogong walked out of the prison of the Criminal Department, the people who greeted him were only Jiang Tian and a few people from the Chenwangfu and Dingnan Wangfu and the Ningwangfu.
"Father, you have been wronged, but you are not a child, and you have suffered so much." Jiang Tian blamed himself.
"How can you be wronged, you send someone to bring me food every day to ensure that I am not assassinated, it is not easy, the father is just worried that you will be hurt by others." Jiang Guogong lovingly hugged Jiang Tian's head and said with tears.
Such a scene of father-son affection makes people feel crying, but Jiang Guogong doesn't know that the son he has been caring for has already grown up, and has cultivated his own strength in secret.
"Grandpa Guo, this is a grapefruit leaf, and the slave is here to help you get rid of bad luck." Uncle Feng smiled and dipped the grapefruit leaves in water and clicked them on Jiang Guogong's body a few times.
"Uncle Feng, when did you become so superstitious, I'm not afraid of their criticism, isn't it okay?" Jiang Guogong smiled lightly.
Although Jiang Guogong always had a smile on his face, Jiang Tian knew very well in his heart that his father swallowed all his grievances by himself in order not to worry about him and his concern.
"Jiang Guogong, you can rest well today, let's go back first, and we'll talk about it when you recuperate for a few days." King Ning said in a deep voice.
"Thank you for your concern for me, if you are not busy, you can have dinner with me and go back." Jiang Guogong said.
The scenery of Jiang Guogong's mansion today is not what it used to be, but what makes Chu Lixue strange is that Jiang Guogong has already returned to the house, but this Jiang Bai's family has not appeared for a long time, does she not know the news that Jiang Guogong has returned home safely? Or is it that Jiang Bai has already left to see Jiang Guogong's mansion?
Just thinking about it, he saw a cui covered bead and immediately drove towards Jiang Guogong's mansion.
When the carriage stopped, he saw Jiang Bai wearing a lake blue flowing color dark flower cloud brocade palace costume walking down from the carriage, followed by Jiang Yuerong.
The mother and daughter rushed back in such a hurry, they should have learned the news that Jiang Guogong had returned home safely, but during Jiang Guogong's imprisonment, they didn't see them care so much.
"Master, you can be regarded as coming back, the concubine runs around with Yue Rong every day, hoping to help the master clear your suspicion, especially Yue Rong, she also entered the palace to beg the Queen Mother, fortunately, the Queen Mother thought of her family affection and asked the emperor to let you go." Jiang Bai's pear blossom with rain road.
Seeing this, Chu Lixue pulled her lips and smiled, she is really a master of acting, if it is in modern times, maybe she can win a best interpretation award or something. Listening to what she said just now, she was basically acting as a lobbyist for the Empress Dowager Bai, and this matter was made by the Empress Dowager alone, the purpose was to frame Jiang Guogong and disintegrate the military power in the hands of Jiang Guogong, otherwise, how could the emperor finally close the case without substantiation? Looking at the world, if it weren't for the weakness of your heart, why do you do this?
"The Duchess of the Kingdom is really bothered, and she actually wants to go to the Queen Mother? I don't know what kind of agreement you reached with the Queen Mother? Jiang Tian said in a hurry.
"Jiang Tian, what do you mean, I know you don't like me to be your mother, but no matter how you say that I am your father's wife, even if you don't like me, at least you must know how to respect me." Jiang Bai said coldly.
She had long been fed up with Jiang Tian's cynicism, she didn't have the strength to fight him before, but now it's different, the forces behind her will become her strong backing, so she doesn't care about turning her face against anyone at this time.
"There is only one mother in this life, and my mother has long passed away, what kind of mother are you?" Jiang Tian said with a displeased face.
This vicious woman still wants to be his mother, it is simply an insult to the word mother, he has always suspected his mother's death, but there has been no evidence.
"Jiang Tian, don't go too far, today is your father coming home from prison, and there are so many outsiders present, even if you don't give me face, you have to give your father face." Even if you don't recognize me as a mother, I am still the head of the Jiang Guogong Mansion. Jiang Bai said sharply.
Seeing this, Chu Lixue couldn't help but applaud Jiang Bai's family, "It's really a three-day treat, isn't it the Duchess of the Kingdom that you have already found a new backer, that's why you dare to do this, right?" In the final analysis, your identity is not very noble, the daughter of the Bai family, if the Bai family didn't force Jiang Guogong to marry you, where would you be qualified to sprinkle here? In the past, you were a side concubine, even if you made you a housewife, then you couldn't change your concubine's lowly status. Chu Lixue said coldly.
Hearing this, Jiang Bai's sharp eyes swept over Chu Lixue, this damn woman, every time she spoils her own good deeds, and she always talks about the concubine, relying on the identity of the concubine to suppress herself, isn't it to help Jiang Tian? Immediately, she thought of what King Ling of Dongyu Kingdom said, "I heard that His Royal Highness King Ling saw at a glance that there was love between Princess Chen and King Dingnan, I really didn't expect that Princess Chen was so fratern, so good to men in the world, even Jiang Tian missed you, this point, Mrs. Ben can't learn it, but Mrs. Ben admires King Chen's attitude even more, and she is not angry at all, think about it......" Jiang Bai's words were not finished, Chu Lixue had already slapped him hard.
"Jiang Bai, do you think you don't know about the deeds you did? In the first place, how did the Duchess Lin die? You know and I know, do you really think you can hide it from everyone? And Jiang Tian, why is he not doing well? This is the masterpiece of your Bai family. ”
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Guogong and Jiang Bai's complexions changed suddenly, Jiang Guogong always thought that his wife died of illness, and Jiang Tian was poisoned, and he also provoked the enemy, but he never expected that it was Jiang Bai's poisonous hand, and he really thought that Jiang Bai's could treat his son well.
"Princess Chen, don't spew blood, you said that I murdered the Lin family and Jiang Tian, do you have any evidence?" Jiang Bai said hurriedly. These things have been a long time ago, and she is confident that she has not shown her feet, but why does this Princess Chen know all this?
"This concubine is spewing blood? Well, since you are in such a hurry to die, then this concubine will fulfill you, Jiang Guogong, I'm sorry, you just went home today, and you caused trouble. Chu Lixue turned her head to look at Jiang Guogong.
Where did Jiang Guogong not know Chu Lixue's intentions, she must have already found out the evidence before she said this, and today Jiang Bai's family is also different from usual, isn't it really true?
"Princess Chen, it's okay, just say what you know, don't worry, I can bear it." Jiang Guogong said in a deep voice. He had already prepared for the worst in his heart, as long as he could know the truth about his wife's death and his beloved son's crippled legs, this is the most important thing now.
"Jiang Guogong, in order to prevent anyone from escaping, please close the gate and let all the subordinates in the mansion gather." Chu Lixue said lightly.
This is going to hold a public trial meeting, it seems that Jiang Bai's family is in a catastrophe, Jiang Yuerong saw that this is the situation now, and thought about running out to move the rescuers, but she didn't expect that as soon as she took two steps, she was tightly tied to her waist by a long whip, and when she turned her head, the county lord of Xiyue happened to look at herself for a long time, could it be that today is really the catastrophe of their mother and daughter?
Hearing this, Jiang Guogong ordered the door of the mansion to be closed, and ordered the soldiers to bring all the subordinates to the front hall, and when everything was ready, Jiang Yuerong was already panicked, and kept pulling Jiang Bai's sleeves, Jiang Bai's had seen a big scene after all, and such a battle couldn't scare her, she shook off Jiang Yuerong's hand and glanced at her coldly, "Useless things." ”
"Princess Chen, you are making a big deal about saying that Mrs. Ben is plotting to kill the Lin family and Jiang Tian, so take out your evidence, otherwise, Mrs. Ben will sue the court and punish you for a crime of slander." Jiang Bai said coldly. She is confident that Chu Lixue will not carry those so-called evidences with her, and today she suddenly attacked, she must not be fully prepared, as long as she refuses to admit her guilt, is it possible that she can still be beaten into a trick?
"Proof? Hehe, you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, do you think there is really no evidence after so many years? As long as it's something you've done, there will be clues left. May I ask Jiang Guogong, did your wife die of a disease around her? ”
"The doctor said that he was weak after giving birth, and he contracted the wind and cold for a long time, and he couldn't eat anything in the end." Jiang Guogong still clearly remembers what the imperial doctor said.
"Yes, the Duchess of Guo is weak after giving birth, but what made her catch the wind and cold was a medicine, peony pear. This peony pear grows on Fengxia Mountain in the territory of Dongyu. ”
"What peony pear? I do not know. Jiang Bai said a little flustered.
"Don't you know? This peony pear is difficult to find, and it is unique to Dongyu country, if it is not a peony pear, then what is it? "Chu Lixue is so tidy.
Chu Lixue's step-by-step pressing, so that Jiang Bai's family really had no way to retreat, where did she think that Chu Lixue could actually find out this, in fact, she didn't know about this peony pear, just ten days ago, when the queen mother was going to execute an old woman in the palace, she learned that the thing that poisoned the Lin family was peony pear.
