Chapter 234 If It Were Not For Me, He Would Not Die
After receiving the order, Yu Zi hurried to change his clothes.
It is urgent to issue an imperial decree for such a major matter.
You also have to be decent and consider the royal family's reputation.
It’s too late to take a bath. After all, the emperor looks very anxious!
After changing his clothes, he galloped all the way and did not meet any imperial guards on the road.
But he didn't know that as soon as he stepped out of the imperial study, he couldn't sit still anymore in the desolate atmosphere!
It’s not that he doesn’t trust you.
But after so many years, he didn't want to let his luck hurt this "daughter" he just knew about again.
Back then, he originally just wanted to please Fan's wishes first and then slowly disintegrate Fan's family.
But he never expected that his concession and forbearance would make Shen Yun lose hope in him and decide on a dead end.
He knew that the body in the fire in the cold palace was not her.
That was a scheme he set up to cover up his tracks.
He knew she was gone.
Went to where she was supposed to go.
She once said how advanced and beautiful her country was, and if she had the chance, she would take him there.
But she left.
He knew she would never come back.
Because she also said, if you dare to betray me, I will make sure you will never find me in your life!
He paid her!
But his daughter is here!
Come and question him!
Even if it wasn't what she thought, he still had to fulfill his responsibilities as a father!
He couldn't let the slightest change in his mind in the past sever his daughter's trust in him again!
He knew that Kazuyuki was only telling half the truth, but even if it was only half, he confirmed one thing.
She, Shen Qingqian, is his daughter!
She is his and Shen Yun’s daughter!
He must protect her!
at all costs!
-
Xiao Hezhi looked at his father's anxious expression and confirmed one thing.
They made the right bet.
Xiao Suozhong left the palace without saying a word, followed by the commander of the imperial guards, Rong Qi, who was leading two horses.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I failed in my duty."
Rong Qi followed closely behind him with a solemn expression, and handed the reins of a horse to Xiao Suozhong.
With a frown on his face, he stepped onto the horse, completely different from the old and frail man he had appeared in the imperial study just now.
The two of them drove out of the palace gate, one in front and one behind, and headed straight for the Fifth Shaoqing's Mansion.
-
now.
After Yu Zi delivered his order, he looked at the coldness in Shen Qingqian's eyes and sighed, "I know she hates me. She should hate me..."
She is such a proud person that she cannot tolerate any flaws.
But not only could he not give her the promise of being together forever, he also banished her to the cold palace for the sake of his so-called overall situation...
She should hate him.
After a moment, Shen Qingqian said softly, "Your Majesty, please move to the main hall."
"..."
His heart ached.
Sure enough, the belated affection is as light as a blade of grass.
She was not willing to acknowledge him as her father.
Xiao Suo pressed his slightly aching chest, held his breath and walked towards the main hall.
The red silk wedding character from yesterday is still there, and the main hall is still filled with joy.
"I heard from the ministers in the court that you are going to get married?" Xiao Suozhong asked.
Diwu Xun closed his eyes, bowed and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My wife and I were married yesterday."
Xiao Suo was stunned for a moment. Why was he in such a hurry? He didn't even have a chance to show his abilities?
He laughed bitterly, and after he sat down on the seat of honor in the main hall, he said, "No need to stand, sit down."
"I heard from He Zhi that you have found some clues about the murder case back then?"
This question was directed to Diwuxun.
Diwu Xun lowered his head and accepted it calmly, "I heard that the emperor once ordered my father to secretly investigate the truth behind the defeat in the battle against Beirong?"
There was a flash of hostility in Xiao Suo's eyes, but it was caught by Diwu Xun very quickly.
He lowered his eyes and nodded, sighing softly, "That's right. Your father is one of the few people I trust. You should know better than me why your father was defeated in the battle with the Northern Rong."
"Someone has moved the food supplies. My father did not embezzle the food supplies or take risks for personal gain."
"Yes."
There was a gleam in his eyes in the desolation, as if he had returned to that night.
-
five years ago.
Palace examination day.
In the midst of desolation, the top three candidates were selected.
The whole country of Nancy celebrates.
At the hour of Xu, the weather suddenly changed and strong winds blew.
It was a moonless night.
Soon, it began to rain heavily.
Marquis Changning braved the rain to enter the palace to meet the emperor.
Father-in-law Yu Zi woke up Xiao Suo, who had just rested in the imperial study, and met Diwu Minghuai, who was wearing a black hat and was soaked by the rain.
"But is there any progress on that matter?"
There was excitement in Xiao Suo's eyes. If what he and Ming Huai had speculated was true, once this happened, it would be ironclad evidence against the Fan family, and they could then be caught in one fell swoop!
Ming Huai's eyes flickered in the candlelight. "I have found a person who is a branch of the Fan family. He appeared in Beirong North City during the Northern Expedition last year."
Xiao Suozhong used the boxing case, "How dare he collude with Beirong!"
"Your Majesty, calm down." Diwu Minghuai frowned, "Now that this man has surfaced, I will catch him and Fan Jing behind him!"
"But is there irrefutable evidence?"
"..." Diwu Minghuai shook his head, but still said softly, "However, I have a plan."
……
After a burst of sighs and whispers, a cold rebuke rang out from the imperial study, "No, I don't agree with this!"
"Your Majesty," Diwu Ming knelt down with his fists clasped, "I am not afraid of death! This is the only way! We don't have any hard evidence, so we can only lead ourselves into the game!"
"No, there must be another way!"
"boom--"
Diwu Minghuai kowtowed with a bang, followed by another bang!
"boom--"
Xiao Suo was stunned, "What are you doing?"
"Your Majesty, that's a full 100,000 men! They were soldiers led by me personally! I can't forget how they died! If the food and fodder hadn't been stolen, we wouldn't have lost the battle!"
Tears streamed down his face. "Liu Quan, the deputy general, was a student of Fan Jing. He conspired with Fan Jing's cousin Dong Ji to embezzle food and grass, murdered his colleague Ding Zhuo, and collaborated with the enemy to commit treason. As a result, 100,000 of my soldiers were trapped and killed by the northern bandits! This is a great vengeance! I, Diwu Minghuai, will never forget it until my death! Please grant my wish, Your Majesty!"
After a long time, Xiao Suo let out a long sigh, "Forget it, I'll do as you say."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Diwu Minghuai left, the rain outside got heavier.
Xiao Suozhong called the commander of the Shadow Guard, Rong Qi, and said, "Send ten people to guard the Marquis of Changning's mansion. If there is any unusual movement, make sure to protect the Marquis of Changning and his wife."
"Yes."
In less than three quarters of an hour, Rong Qi came hurriedly to report, "Your Majesty, it's bad! The entire family of the Marquis of Changning was killed!"
……
It was because of his incompetence that this chess piece was eaten.
It was he who went fishing, but failed and lost his bait.
-
He held his forehead in his hand, the pain in his eyes hidden by his eyelids.
After a long time, he said, "I am sorry to the Marquis of Changning."
"If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have died."
When Diwu Xun heard this, murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes and his hands under his wide sleeves clenched into fists.
The room was completely silent, as if one could hear the hatred growing in Diwuxun's heart.
Shen Qingqian slowly held the shaking hand and asked the man who closed his eyes, "So, what is the truth?"
