A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Chapter 1150 - 926 The Truth 5 (Seeking Votes for More Updates)_2

Anyway, there hasn’t been any formal statement about who the suspect is!Nor has there been any search for related personnel involved in the case.

Even the chief official from back then hasn’t been questioned.

When the Emperor ordered the Zhongshu Province to issue a transfer decree to summon Liu Yuheng to the capital to report, he had suspected whether it was related to the annihilation case of the Prince’s Mansion from years ago.

Later, when his wife returned from the Palace, she said that the Empress Dowager was overjoyed seeing a portrait of Miss Liu brought by his wife to the palace, and she laughed so hard that her mouth twisted. She even agreed to his wife’s recommendation and guarantee.

The Empress Dowager mentioned that the Emperor should bring Liu Yuheng back so that Miss Liu could safely enter the palace for the selection of consorts.

So, he dismissed this suspicion.

Later, after Liu Yuheng entered the capital, he had people keep an eye on Ji Youzhi, but the feedback he received was consistently that Ji Youzhi had not come into contact with Liu Yuheng!

Li Xu took a deep breath in his heart.

For a moment, his entire body went numb, and he even forgot whether to step into the Imperial Study with his left foot first or his right.

Especially after seeing Lu Zezhong and Liu Yuheng trembling as they knelt, their appearance was much like being pierced on the edge of life and death!

As soon as Li Xu came in, Xiaosuisui’s gaze locked onto him, not for any other reason but because she heard a very particular inner voice.

[What’s going on? Why are Lord Lu and Master Liu kneeling here?]

[Could it be that the things from back then have been exposed]

Princess Lianchun’s pupils constricted as she saw the letter paper Xiaosuisui handed over!

She stared at Li Xu, who was kneeling to pay respects, as if she were gazing at a dead person.

Xiaosuisui tugged at Princess Lianchun’s clothes and cautiously said, "Aunt, I’m out of ink, can you find someone to grind ink for Suisui?"

"Your Eighth Uncle will grind ink for you, you just write obediently."

Ji Youze came over. He immediately squatted down to grind ink for Xiaosuisui and reached out to take the wastepaper basket next to Princess Lianchun behind the Phoenix Chair, hiding behind the large Phoenix Chair to see all the inner thoughts Xiaosuisui wrote out.

Ji Youzhi also came over, smiling as he brought over the results of the morning’s interrogation for Ji Youze to review together, and took the opportunity to quietly discuss the entire investigation process and results of the Prince’s Mansion annihilation case with him, letting him go through the dossier.

After reading it, Ji Youze’s heart also rippled, it was truly impressive, Xunyang would surely be a minister of great strategy if he were to be a strategist!

A planner without equal!

"After I came back, I organized the news from the dark web. It’s said that Consort Rou and the deceased Princess Qing are very similar, they are half-sisters with the same mother but different fathers!

In those days, Consort Rou’s mother gave birth to her after which her husband died, and later she left her daughter with her parents-in-law, remarried a traveling merchant, and became his legal wife. After the merchant’s official wife died, she brought her daughter into the family and became the stepmother.

In the eighth year after marrying the merchant, they had another daughter, who is the Princess Qing."

With this information, Ji Youzhi was utterly dumbfounded.

After a while, Ji Youze continued to whisper, "Coincidentally, Lu Zezhong and Consort Rou also had some history when they were young. Before entering the palace, Consort Rou knew Lu Zezhong. She was a maidservant who sold herself into the Lu Mansion, and it’s said he once pleaded with his family elders, wanting to marry her!"

Ji Youzhi’s mouth fell open wide.

"How could this be?

If Lu Zezhong liked Consort Rou, why would she enter the palace?"

"For that, you need to make a trip to the Lu Mansion and inquire with the old Matron of the Lu Mansion!"

Ji Youzhi: "..."

Today both his legs felt worn out from running.

Seeing his pale face, Ji Youze couldn’t help but feel tenderhearted and said, "I’ve already sent someone, we should have an answer soon."

The two brothers whispered over there, though very quietly, yet Princess Lianchun who was close by still heard it.

She clenched her fist tightly, her nails almost piercing into her palm.

So that was her mother’s past.

She only knew her mother was a palace maid, but her mother’s family, her past, she had never mentioned.

She had asked before, but her mother said all her family had died.

So she didn’t want to bring it up.

Unexpectedly.

On that side, the Emperor had already been staring at Li Xu, who was kneeling, for a long time.

He didn’t speak, making Li Xu anxious; his anxiety stirred up many thoughts in his heart, and Xiaosuisui ended up writing several more sheets of paper.

[Why is His Majesty staring at me like this? What exactly happened today]
