Chapter 223 Pluto Bai Yueguang Will Never Die Early 19
Because Jiang Tu was assassinated, the autumn hunt, which was originally scheduled to last another day, had to return to the palace early.
After handing the killer over to Ling Feng, Jiang Tu never cared about the follow-up.
Because she knew the answer would come out.
After the emperor asked the guard commander Ling Feng to investigate the case, a tense atmosphere filled the palace.
Jiang Yuqi paced back and forth in his palace, feeling anxious.
He knew that once Ling Feng discovered the truth, both he and his mother would face serious consequences.
Various possible situations kept emerging in Jiang Yuqi's mind. He imagined countless ways to deal with it, but each one seemed full of risks.
"No, I can't just sit there and wait to die." Jiang Yuqi gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.
He began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind, thinking about how to save himself.
Jiang Yuqi was caught in a huge dilemma. He sat dejectedly on the ground with his fingers deeply embedded in his palms.
"I can't die. As long as there is help from other races, the throne will definitely be mine in the future."
"Mother, Mother will surely forgive my intentions. Isn't it what she has always wanted for me to be the emperor?"
"Mother, don't blame me. I didn't want to do that either."
Jiang Yuqi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He straightened his clothes and walked towards the emperor's palace.
When he finally arrived at the door of the emperor's palace, he stopped and then walked in resolutely.
Jiang Jingzhao was reading the killer's confession sent by Ling Feng.
When he heard Jiang Yuqi asked for a meeting, he let him in.
Jiang Yuqi: "Father, I am here to confess my guilt."
Jiang Jingzhao didn't say anything. He sat at the top and quietly looked at his once beloved son.
Jiang Yuqi said in a deep voice:
"The assassination of my tenth sister was caused by my mother's mistake. Fortunately, my tenth sister is safe and sound. However, I failed to persuade her in time. It is my fault. Please punish me, father."
Jiang Jingzhao's voice was calm: "You mean, this matter was all your mother's idea?"
Jiang Yuqi lowered his posture a little, there was no turning back.
He was very uneasy, fearing his father's punishment and worried about his own future.
But he still said, "Yes, I beg the Emperor to be lenient with my mother because of her many years of service."
Jiang Jingzhao's face was gloomy, and he was furious: "You are her son, and you don't even stand on her side?"
"It just so happens that your mother is here, you can talk to her yourself."
Jiang Yuqi's whole body froze, and when he turned around, he saw Eunuch Changshun escorting his mother over.
At this time, his mother had her hair disheveled, completely losing her former graceful and elegant appearance.
As if she had heard what he said, her face now showed a look of despair.
Feng Yafu felt sad. She didn't expect her son would put all the blame on her.
Jiang Yuqi trembled, he didn't dare to look directly into his mother's eyes.
Feng Yafu laughed bitterly: "Your Majesty, this matter was all done by me alone, and has nothing to do with Yuqi."
Even so, she is still willing to take on the responsibility for her son.
Jiang Yuqi's eyes flickered, but he was secretly glad that he had pushed everything away:
"Mother, why are you so confused? I have tried to persuade you many times, but you didn't listen."
Feng Yafu: "Yuqi, you..."
Her body trembled slightly, and she felt extremely heartbroken. Looking at her son's unfamiliar face, her heart was filled with disappointment.
Jiang Jingzhao looked at them coldly: "Feng Yafu, what else do you have to say?"
Feng Yafu bowed her head and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to say, and I am willing to accept the blame."
She was filled with despair and decided to die for the sake of her son.
Jiang Yuqi: "Mother..."
A trace of guilt welled up in my heart, but it was quickly covered by fear.
Feng Yafu's eyes were filled with tears: "Yuqi, you must be careful in the future, take your mother as a warning, and don't make mistakes again."
Jiang Jingzhao said: "Since you have confessed your guilt, I will deal with you according to the law."
Feng Yafu was sentenced to death. Jiang Yuqi clenched his fists as he watched his mother's departing back.
Although he was somewhat saddened by his mother's death, there was nothing he could do about it.
For his own career and future, he must make this choice.
The news that Feng Yafu was sentenced to death for sending assassins to harm the princess soon spread throughout the palace.
And it was her own son who exposed it personally.
Afterwards, the emperor rewarded him with a lot of jewelry to reward his selflessness.
But the queen felt that this matter was probably far from that simple.
To reward an underage prince who had lost his mother with jewelry was a mockery in itself.
He has neither mother nor wife, so who can wear the jewels given to him?
Although the harem is full of twists and turns, Jiang Tu sleeps soundly every night.
Because Jiang Cheng would find some fragments of Jiang Tu's soul every few days and help her merge them while she was sleeping.
Jiang Tu knew nothing about all this. She just felt that her body was getting better every time.
It feels like taking a tonic pill.
Eight years passed like this, and Jiang Tu grew up day by day.
The ninth year will soon arrive, which will also be Jiang Tu's coming of age.
In recent years, Jiang Yuqi's mother was sentenced to death, and he completely lost favor with Jiang Jingzhao and no longer had the glory he once had.
On the contrary, it was the Queen's eldest prince who, in the original story, would die because Feng Yafu poisoned him.
But before Feng Yafu could poison him, she was gone.
The eldest prince also lived to his twenties, married the daughter of the Grand Tutor, and gave birth to Jiang Jingzhao's first grandson.
When he saw his first grandson, Jiang Jingzhao suddenly realized how old he was.
"Father, Father, please let me see the Crown Prince's first child."
Jiang Tu heard in the martial arts training ground that the Crown Princess had given birth to the Emperor's grandson, and he ran all the way over without even having time to change his clothes.
Jiang Jingzhao hurriedly drove her away:
"Go away, what are you doing? My eldest grandson has just been born, and you come in here exhausted without even changing your clothes. Go, go change your clothes in the back."
Jiang Tu was still wearing red armor. She pursed her lips and pretended to be aggrieved:
"You don't want me anymore after you have your eldest grandson, so love can be transferred, right?"
Jiang Jingzhao knew she was joking, and he was immediately angry and amused:
"Go away, stop pretending to be pitiful. When you lifted those seven or eight soldiers up to the sky, why didn't you say they were pitiful?"
After being exposed, Jiang Tu immediately put on a playful smile and said, "I won't dare to do it again next time. It's because they didn't believe me that I was so angry that I lifted them up."
The first time Jiang Tu went to the martial arts training ground, those people saw her as a princess and were respectful on the surface but they actually looked down on her in their hearts.
He thought that a woman should not come to the martial arts training ground, and she was lazy when fighting with Jiang Tu.
On the surface, the princess is said to be very powerful, but in reality, she has no strength at all and is treated like a useless figure.
Jiang Tu was so angry that he lifted them all up, threw them into the air and caught them again, scaring them so much that they almost peed themselves on the spot.
Jiang Jingzhao snorted and said, "You should find a prince consort to keep you in check, so that you won't be so unscrupulous."
Just at this moment, the prince walked in, looked at them and said with a smile:
"Father said he wanted to find a consort for Xiao Shi. If we really move to the princess's mansion, you will be the first one to be reluctant to leave."
Being exposed, Jiang Jingzhao was embarrassed and immediately put on a stern face and taught him a lesson:
"Nonsense, how could I be so sentimental? You are the ones who spoiled her to be so lawless."
Jiang Tu thought for a moment and said to Jiang Jingzhao, "Since we are looking for a prince consort, let's choose Shen Yuan! He is the one I like best."
