Stay calm, don't panic, Her Royal Highness the Princess is going to reveal more news

The repetitive words, like cold icy rain, hit Yi Kai's face randomly.

As the little princess spoke, his face turned paler.

Does the little princess know her identity?

But in this world, all the people who knew their identities are dead.

For this reason, he felt at ease entering the court under his real name.

Now, the emperor also knows his identity, how will he be dealt with?

And what does the little princess mean when she says he trusted the wrong person?

"emperor……"

Yi Kai gritted his teeth. Since his identity had been exposed, he might as well confess on his own initiative. Perhaps he could save his life.

He is not afraid of death.

But after his death, no one could redress the injustice of the Yi family.

"Lord Yi, there is no need to say more. I understand."

The emperor interrupted Yi Kai's confession with a word. He looked over in surprise and met the emperor's calm eyes.

What do you know?

Lord Yao looked at the emperor and then at Yi Kai.

Yi Kai didn't say anything, but the emperor understood.

Just thinking about the reasons why I trained Yi Kai in the first place, it was a good thing that Yi Kai was valued by the emperor.

"emperor……"

Yi Kai was touched.

【Father discovered it a long time ago.】

[Is Father so smart? ]

The emperor, whose IQ was questioned, raised the corners of his mouth and looked down at the little guy in his arms.

He pinched the other person's chubby cheek to vent his anger.

He is the emperor. Where would he put his face if he was criticized in front of his subjects?

[It turns out that Yi Kai looks somewhat similar to the original Master Yi. ]

【Thus his identity was found. 】

[It's just a suspicion, no evidence yet. ]

【My father is a good emperor. After knowing that the Yi family was wrongly accused in that case, he has been looking for the truth of that year.】

[It’s just that the Imperial Guards are still unable to dig up what happened more than a decade ago. The case was closed very cleanly.]

[Father, are you curious about where the person who wrongly accused the Yi family is? ]

【It’s far away in the horizon, yet it’s right before our eyes. 】

[Yes, this is Mr. Yao.]

Ji Qionghua's gaze shifted back and forth between Lord Yao and Yi Kai.

When the two met the little princess's dark eyes, they both felt frightened.

But when Yi Kai heard that his enemy was actually his boss who had supported him very much, he was shocked.

How could this be?

The reason he was promoted so quickly was because Lord Yao valued him so much.

The emperor tapped his fingers on the imperial table, and the sudden sound interrupted Lord Yao's conversation.

"Your Majesty, is there anything bothering you?"

Lord Yao asked.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries."

Having pretended to be a loyal minister for so many years, Lord Yao is very confident in his disguise.

But he didn't know that the emperor above his head was thinking about how to take off his head.

There are still too many deep-rooted problems in the imperial court.

He didn't expect that Qiong Huaer would give him such a big surprise today.

After all, too few were killed.

His father was a benevolent emperor, but his excessive kindness caused many problems in the court.

Those officials took pleasure in deceiving their father.

His father had passed away for so many years, and he had been trying to tidy up the imperial court, and he thought he had cleaned up a lot.

But who knows, there are more lesions hidden in it.

"That's right. I did think of an old case."

"Lord Yao, do you still remember the case of the Dingxi King's treason nineteen years ago?"

The emperor brought up old things and grabbed Ji Qionghua's fingers and played with them.

The scent of milk from the baby soothed the emperor's anger.

"I remember."

Lord Yao seemed to be lost in memories, then spoke slowly.

"When the late emperor was seriously ill and recuperating, the King of Dingxi was bewitched by a traitor and wanted to rebel."

"Fortunately, the case was discovered in time. The King of Dingxi and a series of officials involved were beheaded, and the entire clan was wiped out."

Hearing this, the emperor suddenly sneered.

The bloody incident that shocked the entire court and the country back then was described by Lord Yao in just a few simple words.

"Yes, if I remember correctly, nearly a hundred officials from the capital and local governments were implicated."

Rebellion is not that easy.

If you want to succeed, you need to have connections in the court, otherwise the officials will not recognize you.

Therefore, it involves a wide range of issues.

Although the King of Dingxi was defeated in the end, it is no exaggeration to say that the capital was flooded with blood during those days.

Among them, there were some people who were dealt with by him personally.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are not mistaken."

Lord Yao echoed.

He didn't know why the emperor mentioned these things, he just needed to follow the emperor's wishes.

Instead, it was Yi Kai behind him who lowered his head, hiding the pain and anger on his face.

The Yi family was one of the families that was punished.

However, the Yi family had never been involved in the Dingxi King case, but they were inexplicably convicted.

It took no more than two hours from the time the imperial edict was issued to the execution of the entire family.

At that time, the Yi family had no idea how to react and their heads fell to the ground.

He was away from home and was found in advance by an old friend of the Yi family, who used the body of a little beggar as a substitute for his own death, thus escaping with his life.

In order to avoid the search, he was hidden in a secret compartment of a box and smuggled out of the capital.

My fear of ghosts was left over from that time.

Through the small secret compartment, the sounds outside seemed to him like the roars of evil spirits.

Today, he finally wants to know the truth of that year.

He desperately hoped that the little princess could clear the Yi family's name.

"One of them is named Yi."

"You have the same surname as Lord Yi."

The emperor had something in mind.

After hearing this, Lord Yao looked at Yi Kai, but was met with Yi Kai's slightly puzzled eyes.

Lord Yao frowned.

Why did he feel that the emperor was saying some secret code to Yi Kai?

He needed Yi Kai to be the spokesperson for the censors, but he could not let the other party's status surpass his own.

“I don’t remember this clearly.”

"too long."

"After all, those people deserved to die."

The words "he deserved to die" earned him a look of hatred from Yi Kai.

If looks could kill, Lord Yao would be chopped into pieces.

"I don't think so."

"I looked through the case files a few days ago and found that the evidence chain of the Yi family's involvement in the rebellion was not established."

"I am afraid that someone will take advantage of what happened back then to eliminate dissidents."

"So I want to re-investigate this case. Lord Yao was also a witness to this incident. What do you think?"

The emperor's questions always had a positive answer.

Lord Yao finally realized that the butcher knife raised by the emperor this time seemed to be aimed at himself.

Fortunately, the matter was not exposed.

He still has a chance.

"I...have a different opinion."

"The case was already concluded back then. If we reinvestigate it, it will require manpower and resources, and I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the officials."

Lord Yao spoke sincerely, as if he was considering the emperor.

"is it?"

The emperor said calmly, "I want to find out the truth. Are they dissatisfied because they have something fishy in their hearts?"

"In this case, I will investigate further."

"I will leave this matter to the Crown Prince."

Now everyone in the court and the country knows that the emperor relies heavily on the prince.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

Lord Yao could only bow his head and praise, but his back was already covered in cold sweat.

Damn it, why is the emperor suddenly paying attention to this case?
