"I want to be a illegitimate child of the late emperor. However, the former Emperor and the empress have made an agreement, so their son has been made to the throne. The former Emperor intended to get rid of me because he was afraid that he would fight against the emperor. However, the former Emperor thought that I was his son after all. As a result, he castrated me and failed to have children to carry on his family name. Then he asked a servant to take me to live in the folk. After Jing Kui know this, he want to take revenge. He wants the emperor's life, and Jing Wenlan is just his adopted son as well. The reason why he contacted Qin Meng is actually just to carry out Jing Kui's revenge plan, " Jing Wenxi's voice was loud and clear. Yun Shang and Prince Jing were both shocked.
Yun Shang only knew that Jing Kui had something to do with this matter, but she didn't know that there was such a secret. Yun Shang hurriedly said to Prince Jing, "I must go to the imperial palace now. Please keep on interrogating her. If there is a result, just send someone to the Imperial Palace directly. It's a big issue and I'm afraid..."
Prince Jing nodded. Yun Shang left the yard in a hurry and headed for the imperial palace.
When Emperor Ning was in Qiwu palace, Yun Shang asked her servants to deliver a message, saying that there was something important to report to Emperor Ning. Liu Qingya worked for her, so Liu Qingya would not force emperor Ning to stay with her.
In less than half an hour, Emperor Ning came. "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? " Emperor Ning was surprised to see the thin layer of sweat on Yun Shang's forehead, as Yun Shang seldom sweated like this.
Yun Shang looked around at the servants, and Emperor Ning ordered them to leave. Then Yun Shang told emperor Ning what she had learned from Jing Wenxi. Emperor Ning furrowed his brows and checked the dishes on the table unconsciously. After a while, he said, "I've heard about it from the former Emperor. I've also sent someone to look for the child, but he has been very protective of him so I haven't found him. It's Jing Kui."
Yun Shang kept silent for a long time before she said, "it has a lot to do with the case. With Jing Wenxi's words we can have Jing Kui dead. But we must do it fast. I don't want the one who knows his identity to have no chance to let the courtiers know it."
Emperor Ning nodded and said, "I have told the secret guard to put Jing Kui into my control. If I ask someone to kill him and say that he wanted to escape punishment and commit suicide, everyone will know that he, together with Li Jingyan and cangjue Qingsu, killed Cangjue Kangning and framed Prince Jing. At that time, others will have no doubt about it."
"Yes, I suppose so." Yun Shang said in a low voice, and then continued, "I will have the evidence of the previous two cases presented to you, and you can make the decision by yourself. But I have one thing to ask."
"Really?" Emperor Ning raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "do you want me to detox the seventh Prince of the state of Xia and find a scapegoat to replace his crime?"
Yun Shang kept silent for a long time before she replied in a low voice, "yes."
Emperor Ning looked at the butterfly hairpin on Yun Shang's head. He was silent for a moment before asking, "has Prince Jing returned home?"
