The daughter of the mansion is slapped in the face every day

Zhao Zheyong also kept knocking his head against the ground, as if he was about to die by hitting the ground.

Zhao Zheyong asked a series of questions, directly doubting Liu Kexing's identity.

Zhao Changta naturally found it easier to believe his son's words, and his eyes fell on Liu Kexing again.

Liu Kexing broke down and cried, not caring about his dignity anymore. He lay on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, all the people in Daizhou were killed by Zhao Zheyong. Where can I get witnesses to prove my identity? I believe that the governor of Daizhou must be in cahoots with the Third Prince, and he must have helped him cover up this matter."

As soon as this accusation was made, Zhao Changta was immediately alert.

The third prince Zhao Zheyong is in collusion with the prefect of Daizhou, which is not what Zhao Changta wants to see.

He only wanted his son to do a good job, and did not want his son to win the hearts of officials and make the officials lose their support for him.

Zhao Changta narrowed his eyes slightly. "I am innocent! I am really innocent! The epidemic in Daizhou is serious. I risked my life to protect the city, but now I have to be accused for no reason. I am so innocent..." Zhao Zheyong also began to shout without caring about his face.

He was certain that Liu Kexing could not produce any evidence, and that he would not admit what Liu Kexing accused him of doing.

Mu Kang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then put the cup down again and remained silent.

Zhou Jinghong, who was assigned by Concubine Xian to work at the Censorate, stood up immediately and said, "Your Majesty, some time ago someone handed an anonymous envelope to the Censorate, implicating the Third Prince for abusing his power for personal gain and hoarding government grain. The Censorate has been secretly investigating the Daizhou incident, and now there is some progress. Please allow me to report."

Jiang Yunxi had long known that Zhou Jinghong was Concubine Xian's man, and also knew that Zhou Jinghong had found some evidence.

Before, she deliberately asked Mu Kang to keep the matter under wraps and not investigate it, but she wanted to let Zhou Jinghong know about it.

She knew that Zhou Jinghong was used to acting according to Concubine Xian's mood, so she gave him a chance to show his ability.

Today, she secretly asked Zhou Can to relax the guards in the palace so that Liu Kexing could enter the palace smoothly.

Zhou Jinghong indeed stood up.

This led to this farce.

Staring at Zhou Jinghong, Zhao Changta's eyes swept over the eldest prince and the virtuous concubine indifferently.

The banquet could not continue.

"Queen, you will be the host of the banquet from now on." Zhao Changta stood up.

Queen Meng Jingshu nodded in agreement.

Zhao Changta turned around and said, "All of you, come to the imperial study."

Although Zhao Changta did not name anyone, the guards picked up Liu Kexing and dragged him out of the imperial study.

Zhao Zheyong glared at Zhou Jinghong and walked towards the imperial study reluctantly.

Zhou Jinghong took the lead and walked actively towards the imperial study.

In Jiang Yunxi's peripheral vision, the eldest prince Zhao Zhexuan and the virtuous concubine Wei Yanyan exchanged glances, and then raised their feet to follow.

The Queen said, "You can enjoy the wine and food to your heart's content, and don't let irrelevant things disturb your mood."

Concubine Xian's eyes followed Zhao Changta as he left. She felt a little uneasy. "It was clearly something that could be dealt with in public, so why did His Majesty call him over to question him alone? Could it be that he wanted to protect the Third Prince?"

The virtuous concubine Wei Yanyan clenched her handkerchief tightly and her face did not look very good.

Jiang Yunxi raised his glass and toasted Mu Kang from a distance.

Mu Kang also raised a glass of wine with both hands and returned it to her.

Regarding the affairs of Daizhou, Mu Kang has been sending people to investigate secretly these days.

When he found out that Concubine Xian had also sent people to investigate the affairs of Daizhou, he led those people to look for answers along the clues he had discovered.

What was found was evidence to destroy Zhao Zheyong.

Jiang Yunxi had foreseen the result long ago.

Jiang Yunxi had been kneeling for a long time and her legs were a little numb, so she raised her hand slightly.

Zhen Zhen understood what Jiang Yunxi meant, so she reached out her hand and helped Jiang Yunxi up.

Eunuch Liu walked up to Jiang Yunxi and said, "Princess, His Majesty asks you to come over."

Jiang Yunxi's body, which was about to stand up, stiffened for a moment, then stood up straight, and his eyes suddenly fell on Mu Kang.

"What did you do secretly that I don't know about?" Jiang Yunxi narrowed her eyes slightly and exchanged glances with Mu Kang.

"I didn't do anything." Mu Kang looked innocent.

He simply stood up and followed.

Jiang Yunxi followed behind Eunuch Liu and looked at Mu Kang with her head slightly tilted.

Mu Kang looked relaxed and contented, as if he was not worried about what would happen next.

Jiang Yunxi felt relieved a little.

Jiang Yunxi followed Liu Neiguan into Qianning Palace and saw the strange atmosphere in the palace.

"Yun Xi, I heard that there are two people from Daizhou hiding in your mansion?"

Jiang Yunxi understood what was going on, knowing that the eldest prince wanted to crush Zhao Zheyong completely, so he told him about Jiang Youfei and Jiang Youcai, wanting Jiang Yunxi to be a witness as well.

The eldest prince's move was to drag Jiang Yunxi into the game as well.

Jiang Yunxi didn't want to help Concubine Xian and the eldest prince, but... she didn't want to help Zhao Zheyong even more.

Jiang Yunxi first glanced at the eldest prince Zhao Zhexuan, then knelt down and bowed to Zhao Changta, "There are indeed two young people from Daizhou in the mansion. Your Majesty is really joking. I have not only nephews and nieces from Daizhou in my mansion, but also nephews and nieces from the Jiang family in Shuozhou, Ningzhou and other prefectures. As early as the beginning of the year, I sent letters to the Jiang families in various prefectures, asking them to send their young people here for selection. See if there are any suitable people with good character and knowledge. At that time, Daizhou had not yet suffered from floods. This matter is just a coincidence, and Yunxi did not intend to hide it."

Zhao Changta asked again, "You mean, they don't know what happened in Daizhou?"

"Yun Xi just heard a lot of things outside and felt that something big might have happened in Daizhou." Jiang Yunxi spoke slowly.

Zhao Zheyong's body stiffened slightly.

"However, Yun Xi only knows that when the plague broke out, they were with me in Juzhou to provide disaster relief, and they didn't know the situation in Daizhou. The two guys were busy in the medicine house in the isolation area of ​​Juzhou, and the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital also knew them. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the imperial doctors who went to Juzhou to provide disaster relief, and you will know whether Yun Xi is lying or not." Jiang Yunxi said in a calm tone.

"Yun Xi thinks that the people in Daizhou are naturally the ones who know best what happened in Daizhou. If we summon them, they won't be able to explain it."

Seeing that Jiang Yunxi was so sure and had the imperial physician to testify, Zhao Changta naturally believed Jiang Yunxi's words.

Zhao Zheyong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then why didn't they come back with you?" The eldest prince Zhao Zhexuan interrupted at the right time, as if not giving Jiang Yunxi a chance to escape.
