Song Hai brought the last news Ji Heng wanted to hear.
“Emperor, according to the investigation, there was indeed a killer organization that might have participated in Ji Qingyun’s case. Then the killer organization disappeared in the Jianghu. I happened to catch an old Department of this organization a few days ago. After some torture, this person has confessed. ”
“What did you find? “Ji Heng looks calm, but his hand is unconsciously clenched.
“He said that they did go to kill Ji Qingyun. The customers are huge, and the price is very high. After they have finished this work, they will earn enough money for a lifetime to change their careers. The killer organization was dissolved and disappeared in the Jianghu. ”
“Who is likely? ”
“It could be Former Emperor. ”
Ji Heng took a deep breath. His voice turned cold.
Song Hai took a folded white paper out of his arms and presented it to Ji Heng. “Emperor, this is what the painter drew according to that man’s description. It was the man who contacted the killers in those days. ”
Ji Heng takes over and unfolds a paper. The heart he raised just now seems to have been smashed heavily and finally fell back. He knew that although the painting was not realistic, he could recognize that it was his uncle from the eyebrows, eyes, and beard, as well as the moles on his face. Although he was an uncle of the state, he was not a big official in those days. He was an idle imperial relative. This man never participated in the dispute over the throne or gave Chen Wuyong a face because he was the former Emperor’s elder. The former emperors had a good relationship with him, Chen Wuyong did not dare to do anything about him. If Emperor Xian wants to do something behind Chen Wuyong’s back, this person should be the best confidant.
“What’s more,” Song Hai continued, “I checked the gold and silver in and out of the former Emperor’s private bank and found that before and after Ji Qingyun’s death, a large amount of silver flowed out of the private bank and disappeared. ”
Can make a whole killer organization earn money to wash hands? How many people can have such a big hand at the end of the day? So it seems that the truth of this matter can’t be separated from ten. Behind the scenes is really the former Emperor. He wanted to kill Ji Qingyun, but Chen Wuyong couldn’t know him, so he didn’t send the palace guards but paid a lot of money and trouble to hire a group of killers from outside. It’s really beyond evaluation. This matter is really incomprehensible. An emperor, trapped by a eunuch, has to be sneaky about what he wants to do.
But Ji Heng thought it was absurd. Why did his father want to kill Mr. Ji? And do it secretly behind Chen Wuyong’s backs? Most of them know Chen’s purpose.
In other words, his father knew that he planned to seize the palace. At least doubted.
But his father didn’t say anything. He kept pretending he didn’t know. Not only that, but he also deliberately helped him cover up the matter, for which he spared no effort to buy murders.
Ji Heng suddenly became strange to his father, who was famous for his foolishness.
He used to think that his father hated him and wanted to pass the throne on to A Zhen. He even resented his own father for it. Loyalty and betrayal are indistinguishable, and common people are equal. If not for the Emperor’s deliberate scheming, how could the traitors and concubines be so arrogant? He has a good chance to get rid of him, but his father deliberately cuts off the chance. To what extent does an emperor have to be broad-minded to ignore the fact that his son once tried to rebel?
Obviously, know, but do not pursue, and efforts to the matter buried in the ground. For once the charge of seizing the throne is proven, the son will be doomed.
Ji Heng’s heart was blocked, and his eyes were hot. The father emperor is a recognized faint monarch, and many practices make him feel ridiculous. For the first time in years, Ji Heng found that his father cared more about him than he thought.
But what about Mr. Ji? Does Mr. Ji deserve to die?
No, it shouldn’t be. Mr. Ji, who is also a teacher and a father, is his most respected man. How can he bring in Mr. Ji’s family to protect himself? Although he didn’t do it, it was because of him.
He killed Mr. Ji. As expected, he killed Mr. Ji!
This consciousness makes Ji Heng feel miserable. He suddenly found the world is absurd. After eight years of painstaking investigation, he discovered that at last, all the wrongs returned to him.
Haha, hahaha! This fucking world!!!
“Emperor? Emperor? “Song Hai saw that the Emperor had not spoken for a long time and could not help looking up at him, but he found that the Emperor smiled bitterly, and his eyes were bleak and crazy. He said boldly, “what should I do to the killer? Please tell me. ”
Song Hai awakened Ji Heng. He took a look at Song Hai and asked, “where is Mr. Ji’s skeleton? ”
“I have not yet sent people to look for it. ”
“Find the bones first. ”
“Yes. ”
After Song Hai quit, Ji Heng was upset. He wanted to get up and go for a walk. When he got up, he was in the dark and stumbled.
Calm down, he picked up a bowl of tea on the table, whether cold or hot, filled half a bowl.
Put down the tea bowl. He walked slowly, his eyes straight out of the study.
Now he wants to say ah Zhao how ridiculous the world is and how hateful he is.
But he can’t. Ji Heng suddenly stops. He can’t say Ah Zhao about it. Ah Zhao’s biggest knot in her life is a family feud. If she knew that his father killed her father and caused all things, what would happen to her?
She would hate him and leave him.
Ji Heng suddenly felt extremely panic.
No, he can’t accept the consequences. He and ah Zhao must be inseparable from each other. He is ready to spend his whole life with her. No one can separate them. No one can!
But what should he do? What can he do? Even if he has the skill of returning to heaven, he can’t change the past.
He felt helpless as never before.
Ji Heng finally went to Ji Zhao.
Ji Zhao saw that he was in a trance, and his face was pale. She didn’t know what happened. So she asks him, but he just shook his head.
She thought that it was because of her affairs that he had a conflict with the Empress dowager, and because of that, he was unhappy.
Ji Heng leaned on her shoulder and looked down at the blood-red plum petals floating in the yard.
Ji Zhao really loves him, ” I don’t have to be an Empress. “There’s no need to make a mother and son quarrel.
Ji Heng closed his eyes and whispered, “ah Zhao, would you forgive me if I did something irreparable? ”
“It depends ….You’re not going to spoil other women, are you? ”
“…… No. ”
“Well, that’s good. I tell you the truth. I’m not a virtuous person. If you have a little trouble with the woman next to you, I will get angry. So can you not do that? ”
“Don’t worry. I only love you in my life. I hope…. You want me to love you all my life. ”
Ji Zhaonaturally, I would like to. ”
“Can you promise me that no matter what happens, you will never leave me? ”
“OK, I promise you. ”
Ji Heng smiled with a bitter smile. He didn’t open his eyes again. He breathed slowly as if he were asleep.
Ji Zhao knows that he is not sleeping, and he hurts her hand. She clasped his hand against him, gripping his fingers. She knew his biggest secret, but now she pretended not to know anything. She is a smart person. She can’t say a word when she should forget something. It’s not good for anyone to say it. She knew that it was not easy for him to come to this day. Even if he became an emperor, he was not a free fairy but also had many difficulties. He has broken his heart for her in recent days. She really doesn’t want to see him go on like this.
“Ah Heng, if you don’t mind, I want you to treat me wholeheartedly. “She advised.
My Ah Zhao is so good, but I killed her father. Ji Heng thought.
” I don’t want to be an Empress at all. It must be hypocritical. I really feel sorry for you. “Ji Zhao said less sweet words. Her face was a little red, and she turned away quietly.
I am the son of her murderer. He thought.
Seeing that he didn’t respond, Ji Zhao once clenched her teeth and said, “no matter what, I still like you that way. There is no difference. I… I want to love you all my life. “At this point, her face is already hot.
Ji Heng didn’t respond to her. She was a little lost, just wanted to search for some other words, but suddenly felt the heat on the back of her hand. She looked down, and there was a small splash of water. She was a little surprised and looked up at him.
He still closed his eyes, but the corners of his eyes were moist. Under the thick black and warped eyelashes, there are two obvious tears. A plum petal the size of a fingernail was sent by the wind and stopped under the eyelashes, above the tears, bright red, as if weeping blood.
