Chapter 417 The case in Pingzhou City needs to be retried
In fact, after so many years, the beauty in the harem has never stopped. The old ones grow old, but the new ones are always fresh.
She didn't believe that the emperor's feelings for the late empress could be so deep, that they would never forget her for so many years, but she was suddenly frightened. What was frightening was that the emperor, who was in a high position and was above ten thousand people, would not allow himself to fail.
In other words, he does not allow his woman to have someone else in her heart, even if she has had someone else before.
During the years when the first empress returned to the palace, many unknown things must have happened between the two of them, and every moment they recalled it was a betrayal of him, which was absolutely unacceptable to the emperor.
"what happened to you?"
Xiao Yuexi also noticed the change in Jin Yan's expression and asked quickly.
"It's nothing. If the emperor asks about it next time, don't show any yearning for your previous life."
"But my father himself was also yearning for it. He also said that he was carefree at that time."
"What he yearns for is the past where the former Queen was devoted to him and devoted her whole body to him, while what you yearn for is the past when the First Queen took you and Xiao Tong unwilling to return to the palace. Do you think it can be the same?"
Xiao Yuexi's face turned pale for a moment, and she was stunned.
"I know, I will pay attention to it in the future."
She replied half-heartedly, as if she was recalling whether she had said anything she shouldn't have said at that time.
"Yan Yan, go and tell the emperor brother about this. I never paid attention to it, thinking that this kind of thing is unimportant. In fact, the emperor was very kind to me at the beginning. He..."
Jin Yan patted the back of Xiao Yuexi's hand and said, "Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but don't think about that. It's important to prepare for the marriage. Xiao Yuexi, no matter who you marry now, whether you want it or not, this person is your choice. At least you should be happy in front of outsiders."
"it is good!"
Xiao Yuexi agreed. She didn't hesitate to go against the emperor for Yi Jie, but now she shouldn't be so indifferent to the marriage.
Countless pairs of eyes were staring at them, and she couldn't relax.
After Xiao Yuexi left, Jin Yan went to see Wen Yan and asked him if he wanted to play chess with the prince.
Wen Yan knew that she had something to see Xiao Tong, so she had someone deliver the message.
But the reply said that the prince was unavailable.
Immediately afterwards, the court said that the case of Cui Yu, the prefect of Pingzhou, would be retried, and even the Jiang family would also overturn the case and retrial it.
what does this mean?
Almost instantly everyone knew it.
The night Jin Yan heard the news, she and Wen Yan climbed over the wall to the Prince's Mansion. Xiao Tong stood alone in the corridor.
The winter wind is so biting that it seems to tear people apart. The snow has just fallen and it has not completely melted away. It seems that another snow is about to fall. I wish I could bury the whole world in one fell swoop.
After hearing the noise, he came back to his senses and glanced. There was no surprise in his eyes. He just smiled and said, "It's earlier than I thought."
With that said, Xiao Tong had already started walking towards them.
"I have already sent news to the Crown Prince. This matter will not affect Prince Jin's Mansion. Don't worry."
This was said to Jin Yan.
Xiao Tong was always smart, so of course he knew the significance of Prince Jin's Mansion to Jin Yan.
"How is this going?"
It took Jinyan a long time to find her voice. Xiao Tong did not answer in a hurry, but made a gesture of invitation and asked them to go to the room.
When the door was pushed open, the candlelight jumped rapidly, and then seemed to be dying.
Until the door was closed, the fire quickly returned to calm.
Xiao Tong was wearing a silver-gray robe with fox fur trimmed in the same color. He sat there quietly, pouring tea for the two of them.
Jin Yan and Wen Yan sat down opposite him. The empty room was very quiet, except for the faint whistling of the cold wind outside.
"Since Cui Yu is delivering a letter to Gu, the letter may not be delivered to Gu's hands, or it may be delivered to Gu's hands, but Gu did not present it to the Holy Lord, and now someone has found out another result."
Xiao Tong picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He looked calm and relaxed, as if this incident had not happened to him.
Jin Yan frowned, "The emperor sent someone to investigate the case again?"
"It's not that the emperor sent someone to investigate, but someone raised concerns and secretly investigated and then submitted them."
"The Queen's people or the Ninth Prince's people?"
"None of them, the emperor's people."
Xiao Tong smiled bitterly.
Jin Yan's heart tightened.
If they were the Queen or Xiao Yi's people, they still had room to resist, but if they were the Emperor's people, they... had no strength and could not even resist.
No wonder Xiao Tong is so calm. This is not calm, but because he can't do anything now.
The more mistakes you make and the more you resist, the more beatings you will get.
Things he has not done can be imposed on him, and there is no point in resisting.
"Don't you want to try it? This year's new tea is the only one left."
Xiao Tong glanced at the tea cup on the table and said something in a faint voice.
Jin Yan then picked it up and took a sip. It tasted really good, similar to the tea Wen Yan gave her a while ago.
"Will your marriage to Xiao Shuyun continue?"
Xiao Tong smiled, "Well... I probably can't continue."
In other words, it was more serious than she thought.
She was shocked in her heart, but said nothing on her face and took another sip of tea.
"There was a small fire in Xiao Rong's house a few days ago. The sixth lady of the Bai family disappeared there. She said some interesting things. I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince is interested?"
"Let's talk, I'm free anyway."
Jin Yan picked out Bai Yun'er's words. The most important thing was that the emperor probably only had a few years to live. As for why he would die in the end, she really didn't know.
At that time, she was just a soul in the portrait. She only heard about it from other people's mouths and never saw it with her own eyes.
But the current emperor is full of life and vitality. If his previous life is true, he must not have died a good death.
Xiao Tong glanced at Wen Yan and suddenly smiled, "It's a coincidence that the Imperial Master once reminded Gu, but Gu didn't take it to heart at that time. Now that the princess mentioned it again today, does that mean it's not impossible?"
Jin Yan was very surprised.
She remembered that Wen Yan could not calculate the emperor's fate, so how did he know the emperor's fate?
"I have asked the imperial doctor privately. My father's body is very healthy and there are no signs of poisoning."
Xiao Tong's words brought Jin Yan back to her senses. If the emperor died due to poisoning, it would basically be a chronic poison and would not be easily discovered. If the poison was poisonous, even if it succeeded in the end, he would have to be stabbed in the spine for the rest of his life.
She frowned, "Maybe everything has changed. It's unknown. Your Highness will take this matter to heart."
Jin Yan and Wen Yan didn't stay long. They left the Prince's Mansion before the snow started and went directly to Zuixian Tower for dinner.
Xiao Tong's attitude made her feel at ease.
