After sitting for a long time, the sound of drums was beaten outside, indicating that it was midnight.
Tonight is so long!
Yu Wenhao came back. He came in with Tang Yang, and Tang Yang cleared the rest of the people out and closed the door smoothly.
Yu Wenhao drank a full cup of hot tea from Yuan Qingling's cup, took off his cloak and sat down. He looked at Princess Ji and said, "Sister-in-law, there is no one else here. What is going on? Tell me."
Princess Ji looked at Yu Wenhao and asked hoarsely: "Tell me first. If the military map is found in his secret room, will it be characterized as treason and rebellion?"
Yu Wenhao sighed softly and said: "Together with those winning-weary techniques. Submit both to the father, what do you think?"
Princess Ji's face turned pale. "I...I don't know why the military map is in it."
She also sighed deeply, raised her head and looked at Yu Wenhao and said: "You may have guessed it. There was no theft in Prince Ji's Mansion tonight. I asked people to do it, and the purpose was to lure you to see what was in the secret room.
These are not framed by me, they were done by him himself. I have known about the contents for some time, but I don’t disdain such methods at all, so I ignore them. Later, he wanted to have Meng Yue’s idea, so I had no choice but to expose him.
, my purpose is just to destroy him."
She turned the water glass in her hand and continued: "At that time, I brought Meng Yue to find the Crown Princess and asked her to become her disciple. I was just in case that one day I had no choice but to do this. He and I would become husband and wife and he would be deposed.
I will also be demoted to a commoner, so I thought about settling Meng Yue first. As for Meng Xing, I also entrusted it to my natal brother in advance. I can't leave them both to you... To arrange this theft incident, I
I have also thought over and over again that my father will punish him severely. Even if he is dealt with, it will not harm the princess and I too much. Little did I know that in the secret room, there would be a stolen military map from the Ministry of War. I really didn't expect it.
If he is really accused of treason, I'm afraid the whole family will be full..."
Princess Ji's voice slowly sank, and she could guess the consequences.
Yuan Qingling was shocked when she heard what she said, "Did King Ji steal the Bing Map? He... It's not that I underestimate him, I just think it's impossible for him to set up such a big plan. He first stole the Bing Map and then took away his father.
The emperor's iron card, and then the layout made Lao Qi almost fall into it, it is impossible for him to do it."
Yu Wenhao said: "He seemed unaware and thought I framed him."
Princess Ji clenched the armrests of the chair with both hands, pressing them with her fingertips. Her fingernails turned white. "The person behind it is so mysterious and powerful. I'm afraid someone around me has been bribed by him. I want to get rid of that person completely."
Yu Wenjun."
"What good will it do to this person to get rid of the eldest son of the emperor?" Yuan Qingling looked at Yu Wenhao.
Yu Wenhao frowned, "Think about it, who would be displeased with him and want to get rid of him? Who is the biggest beneficiary? The most suspicious person is probably me or Lao Si Lao Lao Qi."
"So, is this person's purpose to defeat each one one by one?" Yuan Qingling was shocked.
Yu Wenhao pondered for a moment, "That's not necessarily the case. He wants to intensify our internal struggle. Before, my father fell ill and our brothers reconciled and united. Now that something like this has happened, we will definitely be suspicious of each other again.
At least, judging from the current appearance, if the person behind the plot is not the fourth child, then the fourth child will definitely think that I took action against the boss. Since I can eliminate the boss, I will definitely eliminate him, and he will at least be so suspicious. "
Tang Yang answered, "On the other hand, it's the same. I'm afraid the prince will also doubt His Highness Prince An."
"The guards of Prince Ji's Mansion are very meticulous. This person can put the military map in the secret room silently, and he is not an easy person." Princess Ji said.
"Do you have any doubts?" Yu Wenhao asked.
Princess Ji slowly shook her head, "No, I really can't think of who it is at the moment. There are not many people who know the secret room, and I have always been wary of the people around him. I will definitely set up tonight's trap."
I will hide it from them."
Tang Yang sorted it out and said: "This person needs to know what you are doing tonight, and he needs to be able to go in and out of the secret room without being noticed. If you want to have a certain amount of power in Prince Ji's Mansion, at least he will not be able to go in or out of the study or even walk around you."
It will arouse suspicion."
Princess Ji thought for a moment and said, "There really is no such person."
She paused, "But Chu Mingyang had arranged for someone to come to me before. After I found out, I didn't drive him away. I just kept him in the house according to his plan. She was not responsible for my personal affairs.
If I pass some false news to her, she will report it to Chu Mingyang, could it be her?"
Tang Yang didn't know much about Chu Mingyang, but he just remembered what she had done and said: "I'm afraid she can't collude with anyone, and this person is very reckless, so it may not be her."
Yuan Qingling shook her head, "No, if you say she is reckless, you are wrong about her. Chu Mingyang is actually very vicious and scheming. The so-called reckless and domineering is just superficial. When it comes to scheming, she is not inferior to Chu Mingcui at all.
You can ask Man'er."
Thinking about all the things Chu Mingyang did in the past, it was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Moreover, Chu Mingyang looked down on his sister Chu Mingcui from the bottom of his heart and thought her methods were too low.
Princess Ji nodded, "Yes, she usually messes around in Prince Ji's Mansion and goes against me because she knows that she can't defeat me with her scheming, so she just throws herself into trouble and makes things difficult for me. I don't want to break up with me like this.
Hao Mingming dealt with her and said she had scheming intentions, which is also true."
"Also..." Yu Wenhao narrowed his eyes, "Although she is the concubine of Prince Ji's palace, she is from the Chu family. If something happens, the Chu family can protect her."
Princess Ji had a pale face, "She made trouble for Meng Yue a few days ago and was locked in a dark room by me. After she came out, she returned to her parents' home. So if Prince Ji's house is going to be accused, the Chu family is still very sure that they can keep her."
Everyone was a little excited, because this person was lurking too deep. If Chu Mingyang colluded with him and could confirm this, it would be like opening a crack.
Yu Wenhao said: "Sister-in-law, I will keep this matter under control for now. I won't go to the palace until noon tomorrow to report to the emperor. You go back and investigate to see if the person Chu Mingyang placed next to you has gone out. If so, then he probably got the news.
Go notify Chu Mingyang, and we can basically conclude that Chu Mingyang has colluded with that person."
Princess Ji hummed, looked at Yu Wenhao, and asked with difficulty: "Is there any way to clear him of the crime of stealing military maps?"
Princess Ji was also very helpless. Murdering her husband-in-law was not tolerated in the world. She attracted people from Jingzhao Mansion and made his evil deeds known to the world. According to the emperor's love for him, her life could be saved.
However, the military map is inside, and it is not as simple as his head.
She became extremely frightened when she thought that her carelessness might bring down the whole palace of Prince Ji.
