Chapter 602 What a good show
Following Shen Yanxi's gaze towards Jiang Suining, Xiao Yi was stunned again.
Jiang Suining?
Could it be that Jiang Suining invited my father here?
But Jiang Suining didn't have the ability to convince his father.
Facing Xiao Yi's doubtful gaze, Jiang Suining spoke calmly, "Your Highness instigated Prince Chu to commit suicide by taking poison, and promised that as long as he did what you ordered, he would be safe and sound, and his family would be safe. But Your Highness, before you persuaded Prince Chu, we had arranged for Jingyue to meet him secretly and successfully persuaded him not to believe any of your conditions in advance. So, after you gave the order, he quickly revealed everything."
Xiao Yi promised indeed many benefits, which sounded very tempting, but because of Jing Yue's persuasion, Prince Chu did not choose him, nor did he fully believe him.
Xiao Yi frowned, "This prince sent so many people to keep an eye on the Ministry of Justice, how did you let Chu Jingyue meet him?"
"Your Highness, what you said is really ridiculous. After all, the Ministry of Justice is managed by me, not your Highness's home." Pei Zhaozhi said in a cold tone.
If he doesn't even have this ability, there's no need for him to be the Minister of Justice. He can just hand over the entire Ministry of Justice to the Fourth Prince.
"So Prince Chu didn't take poison at all?"
"Of course not. Whether it was taking poison or the chaos in the Ministry of Justice, it was all just a show performed for your Highness, the Fourth Prince. Even the hasty appearance of Princess Chu and the others was to make the show more realistic and to trick your Highness." Jiang Suining said.
Xiao Yi's hateful gaze fell on Jiang Suining, "What a good show!"
I have been planning for so long and destroyed all the evidence, but I never thought that Jiang Suining and the others would choose to let my father hear it all with his own ears.
That's right, what evidence can be better than someone admitting it with their own mouth!
All the murderous intent and unwillingness in Xiao Yi's heart poured out from his eyes.
Jiang Suining showed no fear at all. He just turned around and knelt down in front of Emperor Xiao.
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince just admitted the truth. His crimes are so obvious that they are truly outrageous. I beg Your Majesty to make a fair judgment and give justice to what happened back then."
Jiang Suining spoke every word with exceptional clarity and firmness. She had thought about these words countless times in her mind.
From the moment she learned that there was a hidden story behind what happened that year, she decided to uncover the truth no matter what.
But all the remaining evidence points to Xiao Ling, and there is nothing to prove that this matter has anything to do with Xiao Yi.
In addition, Xiao Ling is already dead and the case has been closed. In the absence of evidence, it is impossible to involve a prince, let alone reopen the case.
After much thought, the only way is to let the emperor hear Xiao Yi admit everything with his own ears.
Of course, this is not easy, so just act step by step and wait step by step.
It was not until the incident with Prince Chu provided Xiao Yi with an opportunity that she knew the chance had come!
Her father's unjust death was ultimately the result of the imperial court's injustice to the Gu family. It was precisely based on this, plus Prince Chu's confession, that she was able to request the Emperor to move today, so that she could hide in this secret room in advance and hear everything with her own ears.
Emperor Xiao's face was grim, and his gaze on Jiang Suining was full of oppression.
Perhaps this is human nature. When a truth that is extremely unacceptable is revealed before one's eyes, the person who reveals it will also become disgusting.
Jiang Suining was aware of this, and when she felt Emperor Xiao's unhappy gaze, she did not show fear or retreat, but straightened her back even more.
"Your Majesty, I was deceived by the Fourth Prince and did not know the inside story, so I sued the Third Prince. Even if the Third Prince was killed by the Fourth Prince, if you look closely, I was also used by the Fourth Prince and became a knife in his hand. If Your Majesty wants to investigate my previous wrongful accusation, I have no complaints. But please punish the real culprit severely and do not let the real offender go unpunished!"
Jiang Suining leaned over and kowtowed, his forehead hitting the ground neither lightly nor heavily, making a thud sound.
Emperor Xiao looked at Jiang Suining kneeling on the ground, and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, but the majesty and status of the emperor still allowed him to retain his rationality.
He looked at Xiao Yi again, his eyes full of disappointment, "I have always thought that you only wanted to seize power after your third brother died, but I didn't expect that you had been planning for so long, and you were so unscrupulous!"
Emperor Xiao's words made Shen Yanxi frown subconsciously, and he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Suining who was still kneeling on the ground.
Jiang Suining's expression was calm, and he did not feel disappointed by Emperor Xiao's words.
She knew in her heart that for an emperor, the lives of his subjects and the truth of the past were probably all secondary to power. Therefore, Emperor Xiao was most concerned about Xiao Yi's desire to seize power and the throne, rather than the truth of the past and the people killed by Xiao Yi.
Under Emperor Xiao's angry eyes, the expression on Xiao Yi's face gradually calmed down.
"Father, I am your son. As a prince, is there anything wrong with wanting to seize the throne?"
"But you shouldn't be so cruel, disregarding the lives of the people and even harming Ling'er!" Emperor Xiao scolded.
Xiao Yi smiled, "Harmed Xiao Ling? Oh, why would father say such high-sounding words? In your heart, you probably never really cared about Xiao Ling. You are his biological father and you don't care about him, so why should I, your brother who is not born from the same mother, care about his life or death? In the end, what is the difference between you and father?"
Emperor Xiao did not expect Xiao Yi to speak like this. He was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Xiao Yi again, "You bastard, how dare you speak to me like this!"
Xiao Yi touched the cheek that was hit with the tip of his tongue, and the smile on his face grew even larger.
"Now that you know everything, I have nothing to deny. Indeed, I did all that. But father, are you sure you want to punish me? The previous disturbance has not yet completely subsided, and the people's discussions are probably still there. If everything is revealed at this time, the royal family's reputation will really be trampled underfoot and ridiculed by the people."
"The reputation of the court and the majesty of the imperial power are not gained by covering up the truth." Shen Yanxi looked at Xiao Yi coldly, "If the Fourth Prince really cared about the reputation of the royal family, why would he do such a heartless thing."
"Sir Shen, this prince would like to ask, in your heart, which is more important, the court, government affairs, or your wife Jiang Suining." Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and spoke in a provocative tone.
Emperor Xiao also glanced at Shen Yanxi, with a flash of displeasure in his eyes. He remained silent, also wanting to hear Shen Yanxi's answer.
