Chapter 878 Chapter 878
He Jiang held the blood letter in his hands, feeling so aggrieved and sad that he couldn't express it in words.
His hands were shaking so much that he could barely hold the thin last words. His legs were trembling as if he was about to be crushed by these thousand-pound words.
"Your Majesty, Jiang'er... will follow your instructions."
Right or wrong is no longer important.
He Jiang did not dare to misbehave in front of His Majesty, but he could not say a word to defend himself. His Majesty sighed, "Yesterday before dark, Huan'er came to the palace, knelt before me, and told me such an ugly story."
When He Jiang heard the word "scandal", he closed his eyes and his face turned pale.
The emperor added, "I was originally going to investigate you two for this ridiculous matter, but Hong'an is dead, and the dead are the greatest. Speaking of this matter, behind closed doors, it is also our family's business. If we really want to argue about the right and wrong, giving each of you fifty lashes will not save the face of our ancestors."
He Jiang lowered his head and whispered, "It is He Jiang's fault. I will leave it to His Majesty to decide."
"It's good that you know you're wrong. If you have no objection to what Hongan said, then let's do it this way." As soon as the emperor spoke, He Jiang knelt on the ground, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Princess Hong'an wrote only three lines.
1. As he had lost face for the royal family, he did not dare to hope to be buried in the capital, as it would disturb the peace of the royal family and the ancestors of the Jin family. He requested to be buried in Liyang, covered with a thin layer of earth, and that would be the end of it.
Second, spare the life of the unfilial daughter Jin Fuyun.
Finally, the eldest daughter of the Jin family is innocent in both body and mind. Since she had done something foolish with He Jiang, please allow the two of them to get married, Your Majesty.
This book is written for readers, and the words are straightforward.
However, the words in Princess Hong'an's last letter to His Majesty were tactful and sincere. The words of a dying person are pathetic.
Even if you have a heart of stone, you still can't bear to watch it.
He Jiang walked out of the palace, staggering. Before He Liu noticed, he could no longer hold on to the palace wall. His abdomen twitched violently, and his breathing became rapid. The pain made He Jiang's waist hunched like a broken bow.
"My Lord!"
He Liu walked around the side of the carriage. He had been waiting for a whole day and felt very nervous. As the sky got dark, he finally saw the familiar figure beside the palace wall.
It’s our own prince!
"My Lord, are you okay?"
He ran up to him and just as he supported He Jiang, He Jiang vomited a mouthful of blood. He Liu saw it and panicked, calling He Jiang's name repeatedly.
He Jiang calmed down for a while before making a gesture to go back home.
No desecration is allowed outside the royal palace.
He Liu immediately helped He Jiang onto the carriage, called the driver, and urged the horse to go faster. In the carriage, he held out a large banner and quickly wrapped it up for He Jiang, "My Lord, have you been punished?"
That day, He Liu and others were at a loss. They went in early, but did not see the Prince at noon, nor at midday. Even after many people who had entered the palace with him came out, the Prince was still nowhere to be seen.
He Liu panicked.
He was completely frozen and didn't dare to move until he saw He Jiang coming out safe and sound. He felt half relieved, but was frightened again when He Jiang spat out a mouthful of blood.
"My Lord, drink some hot soup to warm yourself up."
In the evening, He Liu could no longer wait and found a tavern two miles away, ordered some warm wine and hot dishes, and shared a bite with the driver, leaving a portion for He Jiang.
Although it is cold now, it is better than nothing.
But He Jiang had no appetite at all. Once he got on the carriage, he collapsed completely with lifeless eyes. It was not until he returned to the Prince's Mansion and had some hot soup and tea and kept the charcoal brazier warm for a while that He Jiang calmed down.
"Sixth brother, my life... is ruined."
what?
Upon hearing this, He Liu, who was about to examine He Jiang, suddenly froze. He raised his eyes and looked over, only to see that the man who used to be so elegant had suddenly become haggard and looked ten or twenty years older in just two days.
"My Lord, in the palace...did His Majesty blame you?"
This was an unprovoked disaster, all caused by that bitch from the Jin family. Who could have thought that Jin Meng and the royal princess, who had been in contact with each other for many years, would raise such a stupid and vicious daughter.
When He Jiangyang was lying on the bed and saying Princess Hong'an's last words, He Liu was furious, "She already knows what kind of person she has raised, but she still wants to force it on you?"
That doesn't make sense!
He Jiang's face was bleak. "Yes, she plotted against the fourth young lady of the Pei family and me, just to make me lose my reputation and not be eligible to discuss marriage with her, Jin Fuyun. As for the young lady of the Pei family, if she had succeeded with me, the one who died today would not be Hong An, but that innocent woman."
Heart!
Why so vicious?
But such a person who has lost his moral integrity could actually erase everything just because he has a good mother, and pretend that nothing had happened, and enter his palace and become the princess of a county...
He Jiang had never been so desperate.
When he thought about being tied to a woman like this until death, he felt so miserable that he wanted to die. "Sixth Brother, it's really over."
He Liu stood up suddenly and said, "I'll go and do it."
"What are you going to do?"
He Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry about it, Your Majesty. If His Majesty won't do you justice, I will find a way."
After saying that, he lifted his feet and left.
He Jiang was anxious, so he got out of bed and tried to pull her away, but he got up too quickly and felt dizzy as he hadn't eaten for a day, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
He Liu, who was about to leave, turned around and saw, "Prince!"
He hurried back to support her and said, "Don't worry about it. This is just a small matter. I will definitely take care of it for you."
"Nonsense!"
He Jiang was so angry that his heart ached. He held his injured waist and scolded in a low voice, "Do you think I don't know what you are going to do? You can't do these things! You can't do them!"
He Liu was stunned, "The prince just pretends he doesn't know."
"You are mine, how can I explain it without knowing it? Anything done by anyone in this palace, whether the emperor or the court recognizes it or not, will be attributed to me."
When he said this, he coughed violently, almost as if he wanted to vomit out his heart, liver, intestines and lungs. His whole body couldn't help but spasm and twitch!
He Liu was so scared that he knelt on the ground, supporting his body and not daring to move rashly.
The servants heard the noise and cautiously asked for hot water outside. He Liu called them to come and serve. For a while, they supported and comforted He Jiang. After a long time, He Jiang finally calmed down.
A face turned red and purple due to severe coughing.
His eyes were now replaced by cold resentment, "The emperor is going to punish me."
He Liu was slightly stunned, "My Lord, what does this have to do with you?"
Your Majesty, you are innocent too!
"That's an aphrodisiac! You were poisoned, and that bitch took advantage of you. It was not your intention. Why, Your Majesty..."
"Sixth brother, the emperor is my bread and butter. I rely on him for food, clothing, shelter and transportation in Dalong. Dalong has never been my homeland, so it's not surprising that the emperor of Dalong wants to punish me."
