"As long as you speak the truth, this king will have a way to protect you even if this matter involves the Crown Princess Jing. But if you dare to hide anything …"
Yan Heng did not speak, but there was a hidden threat and warning within his words. How could a servant girl like Jin Yue, who had stayed in the palace for too long, not know about it?
"Alright, go ahead."
In the end, Yan Heng was someone who had a grudge with the previous emperor, and his personality was suspicious. With just a word from Jin Yue, he could associate many things with his expression, so he could be considered a capable, meticulous person.
Thus, before Jin Yue told him what she wanted to say, he had already thought of many things, and only waited for Jin Yue to confirm first.
"Servant …" She was indeed Princess Tian Xin's personal servant, Crown Princess Jing … The reason why Crown Princess Jing could not help but change her servant was because … Because... Crown Princess Jing is not Princess Tian Xin, but a different person. "
Even though Yan Heng had expected that Crown Princess Jing would have a secret that couldn't be exposed, he didn't expect it to be such a life-threatening secret. He stood up in front of Jin Yue in shock and looked at him in disbelief, as if she had not recovered.
Only when Princess Jing Wang gently pulled on his sleeves did he regain his senses. He looked at Jin Yue in disbelief and asked, "Are you saying that the Crown Princess Jing is fake? Isn't she the princess of your xieqing? "
"This servant doesn't dare to lie. My princess ran away from the marriage on the eve of her marriage, so the emperor had no way to explain this to Prince Jing, so he found a girl who looks extremely similar to my princess to marry her. Thus, this Crown Princess Jing doesn't have a deep impression of this servant."
Within the room, there was a brief period of silence, so quiet that everyone's breathing could be heard.
Seeing that Yan Heng seemed to be deep in thought for a moment, he said: "You can leave first, this king will naturally care about this matter."
"Thank you, your highness! Thank you, your highness!"
Jin Yue kept kowtowing to Yan Heng, and then was brought down by the guards.
After Jin Yue was brought down the stairs, Princess Jing Wang came over to Yan Heng's side and asked softly, "Does Your Highness think that the little girl's words are trustworthy?"
Seeing Yan Heng thoughtfully stroke his beard, a moment later, he said: "What this girl is saying is not impossible. How could a normal person's little girl know so many things?
"So, does the Prince believe her?"
Yan Heng nodded his head, "This is most likely true."
Her eyes lit up a little, but after that she became confused, "But even so, what is the use of Prince leaving Jin Yue behind? Could it be that the Nine Kings will leave QI Er's life because of this? "
Seeing Yan Heng looking at her, he suddenly let out a low laugh, then stood up and walked a few steps in the house while deep in thought. Then he said: "It's hard to say if it was others, but if it was Crown Princess Jing … It's not that there's no turning back. "
"Oh?"
Seeing Yan Heng's confident look, a bit of hope gradually appeared in Princess Jing Wangfei's eyes.
"You have never seen how Ol 'Nine acts towards that precious princess of his. If you bring the matter of her being a fake to the emperor, it's hard to say if Ol' Nine wouldn't act against the Kaiser for her sake."
"Against the Emperor? Does he not want to live? "
Although Princess Jing Wang knew that Yan Yuan was different from her other brothers, he was the favorite son of the late emperor and empress dowager.
But even so, he was only an official in front of Kaiser, how could he climb up to be a Kaiser?
If he really reached that step, wouldn't it be tantamount to plotting against the enemy?
Yan Heng knew what Jing Wangfei was thinking about in her heart. During this past year, her brows which had not relaxed because of her son's matter, relaxed a little, and said: "So, it's not impossible for us to exchange Crown Princess Jing's secret for QI Er's life."
Upon hearing Yan Heng's words, traces of joy instantly rose on Jing Wangfei's gloomy face.
"If that's really the case, then it can't be any better. But, can the Board of Justice and the marble temple fool around?"
"You are overthinking things. If Ninth Brother is willing to let QI Er go, wouldn't the Ministry of Justice and the marble temple be just a matter of a single sentence to him?"
"True."
The worry that Princess Jing had been holding for the past few days had finally been slightly relieved, but after that, she heard Yan Heng say, "But …"
"But what?"
Princess Jing's heart, which she had finally calmed down with great difficulty, rose again.
Just based on this little girl's words, there's no way to determine whether Crown Princess Jing has cheated on us, Old Ninth is not someone to be fooled, if anything goes wrong with us, we might get bitten back by him. He is someone that no six relatives will recognize, at that time, not to mention not being able to save QI Er, it's very possible that my Fourth Brother's life will be taken away by him.
A momentary look of joy appeared on Princess Jing's face before being replaced by worry, "Then has the prince thought of something yet?"
Yan Heng thought for a moment. "We have to consider this matter carefully. Our opponent is Ninth Brother, so we can't be careless in the slightest. Fortunately, we still have half a year before the execution. This half a year is enough for our plan.
Although Jing Wangfei was anxious to save her son, she was still a woman after all. She did not have any ideas at the moment, so she could only listen to Yan Heng's orders.
Furthermore, on the other side of the capital, Liu Ruo Qing only found out that before she gave birth to her child, Liu Tian Xin had already left the capital for who knows where.
In the past few days, marble temple, which Yan Yuan was in charge of, had been investigating the murder of Xing Yao, the president of the Board of Justice. Every day, he would only come back in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, Liu Ruo Qing wasn't someone who liked to rely on him too much. When he was busy, she wouldn't bother her.
Before when he was a mother, he didn't know how important a child was to his mother. Now that he was a mother, he could deeply understand this kind of feeling.
On this day, it was rare for Yan Yuan to return to the Duke Palace before using the Evening meal s, so he couldn't wait to head over to the main courtyard.
young son had already been carried away by the wet nurse to feed her milk. Seeing Liu Ruo Qing sitting at the table to weave clothes, her eyebrows twitched, and she quickly walked over and picked her up, burying her face tightly in Liu Ruo Qing's armpit.
"Why did you come back so early today?"
Liu Ruo Qing also did not push him away. She just let him hug her, and after becoming a mother, her personality had become a bit more gentle.
Although it was usually nothing, when she was hugged like this by him, she discovered that she still missed his embrace a lot.
