Prince Chung glanced at the old lady curled up in a corner, feeling that she had a good face, but could not remember when he had seen her before.
"Tell me what it is?"
"Royal father must have forgotten how his son and his aunt passed away!" Yang Zixuan went straight to the point.
He continued, "The Liu Clan has always been supporting the Jin King of Shu, but this time, he was implicated. The main clan has no more than thirty percent of the Jin King of Shu, while the main clan's main clan has no more than thirty percent.
Prince Chung raised his eyes and looked at him, then asked: "You brought this matter up to help your aunt reverse the case?"
"Father had said in the past that he would definitely investigate. I wonder if he has discovered the truth?"
However, Yang Zixuan kept pressing on. He did not want Prince Chung to let go of the evil Princess Chung, the original Madam Hou, because of Yang Juan Er.
"This... It's just that it's hard to find any clues about the culprit after a few decades. In addition to that, I've been focusing all my energy on national affairs for the past one to two years, so I haven't made much progress and haven't been able to find out who the culprit is. "
Prince Chung was such a person, even if he had already guessed who he was, he would still act like a fool when Yang Zixuan did not break off all decorum.
Yang Zixuan sneered in his heart, no matter how cold-blooded the Prince Chung was, he would still defend the direct line! This was not only related to his reputation, but also an unspoken rule between the various families. As long as the wife did not act out of line, she would turn a blind eye.
"Father was busy, but son was a bit more idle, so he secretly found someone to find the wet nurse who served my aunt that day. Father asked her to tell him what happened that year."
Although his daughter had become the master of the Eastern Palace, it was on his account that he had agreed to marry her that day, in order to form a marriage alliance. On the other hand, Yang Zizhi would only crawl around the crotch of a woman, although Yang Zixuan was born from a concubine, his talent and superiority had already far surpassed Yang Zizhi's. His future achievements were not something Yang Zizhi could compare to.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that he should protect Yang Zixuan and prevent him from falling out with his family. Perhaps, on account of the bloodline, he could help Yang Zizhi a little in the future.
"Hmm, even though you've already taken the trouble to complete this task, I'm sure you still remember what happened that year." Hmm, even though you've already taken the trouble to complete this task, I'm sure you still remember what happened that year.
Yang Zixuan hurriedly gestured for the old lady to step forward and pay her respects to the Prince Chung, then he said: "Don't be afraid, Royal Father has always been worried about my aunt. Mother, if you want my Aunt to suffer grievances, you can directly speak of what happened that year in front of Father."
The old woman had abundant hair, and although she was old, she was still spirited. Her clothes were patched up quite a bit, but she looked very plain. It was clear that she was a tidy person and not an ordinary peasant woman.
"This old servant Hua Jinhua greets Prince Chung!"
"Flower?" Prince Chung could not remember this person even after thinking for a long time.
Hua Jinhua replied, "Yes, this old servant was once an aunt's wet nurse. I've taken care of my aunt since I was young."
"You are Nanny Hua?"
Prince Chung looked at her in disbelief. In his mind, Nanny Hua was a silent and taciturn person who wholeheartedly cared for Aunt Liu, but he found her too long-winded.
"Didn't you already say that?"
How could he not be shocked when a dead man suddenly stood in front of him?
Hua Jinhua grinned and said, "In the past, Nanny Hua had long been thrown into the river and committed suicide. My name is Hua Jinhua, I am an ordinary peasant woman who lives at the thirteenth bend of the capital."
Yang Zixuan saw that the Prince Chung was puzzled and replied: "Mommy Hua was initially stunned by people when she first entered the river, it was just that Mommy Hua grew up in the south side, and was able to escape with her life."
"Yes, when I was thrown into the river that day, I was already somewhat conscious. I vaguely heard someone say that I had fainted anyways, so I directly fell into the river and killed myself."
Prince Chung reached out his hand to stroke his beard, sitting in this position, it could be seen how scheming he was. He asked: "Why did someone cast their hands into the river for you, and why did your aunt die?"
However, Hua Jinhua tremblingly kneeled in front of Prince Chung's desk and said with tears streaming down his face, "I hope that Your Highness can make it clear that my Aunt was killed by someone."
The Prince Chung swept Yang Zixuan a glance and saw that he was filled with grief and indignation. He changed the topic and said: "Explain in detail."
He knew that he would have to listen to it if he didn't want to, so he could only listen to Yang Zixuan's commands and recount everything that happened back then.
It turned out that when Prince Chung took his beloved concubine and his bastard son back to the, he angered Princess Chung, who was the host of the show, but back then, he was the same as well.
"Actually, if the Madam gave birth to a girl, she wouldn't have suffered this much, but at such a young age, she died because of a huge amount of jealousy and hatred towards the Aunt Liu for being favored by them, and because they saw the Aunt giving birth to a son who was afraid of stealing the family property, they felt even more hatred from the heart. That's why the Madam used the house to get the secret medicine from the palace that day, and wanted our third young master to die, but didn't want to be eaten by the Aunt accidentally, that's why …"
If he only wanted to kill a concubine, Prince Chung would not be angry. He never thought that Madam Hou would actually want to kill his third son.
"This is truly the most malicious of women. Her son is a human, can it be that my third son is not a human? not the blood and bones of the Prince Zhong's Mansion? "
The Prince Chung heard and immediately slapped the paper angrily. The ink stone on the table fell and shattered, leaving a cold smile on Yang Zixuan's face.
"Royal father, please calm your anger, this is not the most important thing. Later on, after Aunt died in place of her son, she secretly hurt him many times, and all of this was caused by the Shen Mama at her side. If it wasn't for Grandmother's protection, my son would already be a pile of bones."
How could Prince Chung not hear the mockery in his words? He hurriedly advised: "It was royal father's negligence, but all these years, she had blinded my eyes with her fake appearance. Every single one of my Young's's disciples are all treasures, how can I allow her to cover the sky with one hand, and harm my flesh and blood."
"Father, what do you plan to do with this matter?"
Yang Zixuan had long seen clearly what kind of character the Prince Chung had. No wonder Yang Zizhi was lecherous, greedy, stole a commoner's daughter, and acted without thinking of the consequences.
Seeing that he was in a difficult situation, the Prince Chung asked, "I'm afraid you've long wished for her to die!"
Yang Zixuan thought that the Prince Chung wanted to see his attitude and so he coldly snorted twice and said: "Father is wrong, my son truly wants to eat his flesh and bones to vent the hatred in his heart. How innocent is my aunt, yet she died for nothing due to her dirty thoughts. If we are not set up by people, our ancestral tombs will open, and smoke will come out. "
Prince Chung thought for a moment, then sighed: "Explain in detail how she harmed you in the past few years?"
Yang Zixuan's eyes flashed with light, he knew that he had bet the right amount of money, but Prince Chung could not ignore the fact that he had no one in his line of work.
"My royal father probably doesn't know, two months after my aunt died, I stopped enjoying the treatment of young master, although the monthly allowance was not harsh, it was just that the food that I frequently send is rancid food to feed pigs, forcing me to order someone else's food, only then will I be able to eat the food that only ordinary people can eat. Although grandmother knows about this, it was because I was afraid of forcing her to be anxious, so she secretly tried to kill me, but every time Shen Mama made a move, she secretly ordered people to stop her, which saved my life."
He told her everything that the Madam Hou had been doing in secret all these years.
The Prince Chung was furious: "She didn't even give you the gift of kissing Na Ji?"
"Hmph, if royal father doesn't believe you, you can ask Xiao Tong. At that time, he personally took all the gifts that he brought to the south, oh, he still has those things, but last time I heard him blabber, those moth-eaten skins, and faded satin, no one would want them even if they were given to others."
It was not wrong for his heart to be biased towards the direct descendant, it was only because the direct descendant was the proper successor. Furthermore, as the bastard son, Yang Zixuan wanted to support Yang Zizhi, but he never thought that the Madam Hou back then would be so vicious and greedy.
"I had originally thought that we already had two sons at home. Although Zi Zhi was untalented, you were someone who lived up to expectations, she only had a pair of children for all these years, and I knew in my heart what she was worried about, so I allowed her to secretly forbid her concubines from having children. Sigh, looks like it was father's fault, I shouldn't have allowed her to act so arrogantly."
Seeing that he did not mention anything about how to deal with Princess Chung, Yang Zixuan choked with sobs, "Father, today, our son is alive! Our ancestors are protecting him in the sky, which is why we are able to escape calamity many times."
Seeing that even the Prince Chung was moved, he immediately struck the snake with the rod, and continued: "Royal father, you must have not thought that the most trusted wife that you would share the same bed for dozens of years, is actually a snake-like woman. No one knows who she's going to deal with next!"
These words were like a bell chime, shocking Prince Chung. He knew that his wife would definitely play some tricks, and had heard his concubines complain before, he only treated them as jealousy, he did not expect this woman to be so vicious, not weaker than an ordinary man.
"Men, go and invite the Shen Mama over."
He decided to deal with the two of them properly. When the servant waiting outside heard his orders, he immediately went to the main courtyard to invite Shen Mama over.
Prince Chung then turned his head towards Yang Zixuan and said: "All these years, it's been hard on you. Your father recalled carefully that year, and seemed to remember you saying in front of me that the woman hurt your aunt, and I only thought you were overly hurt, and didn't believe that your aunt died from an illness. Sigh, I never thought …"
Hua Jinhua saw that Prince Chung was only looking for Shen Mama to ask, and cried: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you don't know one more thing, Madame loves chrysanthemums very much, and has a pot of Nine Links of Clay Gold and Snow Green, and the fertilizer from these two pots however are used on the bones of Aunt! It is also because this old servant knew of this matter that … That's why the Madam sent people to try and destroy this old servant. "
