Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1941

Shi Anxia's face was filled with sorrow. "Since Feng Ji is on good terms with you, you must know his identity. Which Feng family is he from? How do we inform his family now?"

"I don't know." Cen Che insisted, "He and I just hit it off when we were chatting in the teahouse. What we really talked about was just business. I don't know anything else."

"How dare you promise to guarantee him 500,000 taels of silver without knowing anything about it?" Shi Anxia raised her eyes calmly, "Xie Yu, are you trying to deceive this princess?"

Cen Che's breath was stuck in his chest, unable to move up or down, "Little one, I dare not."

How did he, a prince, end up in this situation?

Shi Anxia didn't argue with him too much on this issue, and just said solemnly, "Go collect his body."

"Me?" Cen Che almost vomited blood.

He wished Cen Ji would die, and even collected his body! He had already done a great favor to Cen Ji by not doing anything.

Shi Anxia glanced over and said, "If it's not you who collects the bodies, do you want me to do it myself?"

Cen Che went to Yefeng Valley to collect Cen Ji's body with a look of rejection on his face.

The body was still there, covered with a white linen sheet.

Fortunately, it was a cold winter with heavy snow, so the body decayed slowly.

Cen Ji's body was covered with knife wounds, his skin and flesh were torn up, and his bones were visible. This shows how tragic the scene was.

This is the sword wound that Beiyi usually uses, Cen Che thought. Could it be that the Beiyi people deliberately killed Cen Ji in order to stir up trouble and find an excuse to attack the Wan people?

As soon as he had this thought, Zhao Zhui stretched out two fingers as if he could read his mind, and opened the deepest wound for him to take a closer look. "The fatal wound is hidden deep inside. Inside is a standard curved knife specially made by the Wan Kingdom's imperial guards, with a barbed edge."

The witnesses and evidence are complete.

The real witness is Cen Che... Shi Anxia specially arranged for him to go to the scene to prevent Liang State from causing trouble for Beiyi because of Cen Ji's death.

Cen Che is becoming more and more important, and there can’t be any mistakes.

Zhao Zhui kindly reminded, "The people of Wan are shameless. Master Xie, you should also pay attention to your safety, so as not to become a target. Do you need me to send troops to protect your safety?"

Cen Che quickly refused, "No need!"

How can I dig for gold if you protect me?

Zhao Zhui did not force him, and reminded him to bring more people with him to avoid any accidents.

Cen Che felt more and more that he was important to the princess. However, he didn't know that Xie Huai had already knelt in front of Shi Anxia to plead guilty.

"Please punish me, Princess." After Xie Huai confessed that he was not his fourth brother Xie Yu, he knelt with his forehead on the ground and refused to get up.

Shi Anxia didn't expect that Xie Huai was so honest. He was so scared by a small thing that he blurted out everything he should and shouldn't say.

She asked, "Is there anyone named Xie Yu in your family?"

Xie Huai broke out in a cold sweat, "Yes. My fourth brother is indeed called Xie Yu."

"Where is your fourth brother? How dare you let an outsider impersonate you?"

Xie Huai bowed his head and replied, "My fourth brother has been ill since he was young, and he has been kept in the deep house in the old house and cannot see anyone. Apart from the servants in the old house, almost no one else has seen my fourth brother. I was bewildered and could not think of any other way to change the fate of the merchant, so I resorted to this desperate measure."

Perhaps he felt that he had not expressed himself clearly enough, so he added, "Everyone in my Xie family is willing to sacrifice their lives for the princess and would not dare to complain even a little."

"You did a good job, and this princess is very pleased." Shi Anxia affirmed his achievements and also pointed out his shortcomings, "It's just that this deception was not done well."

Xie Huai agreed and dared not to quibble anymore.

Shi Anxia pondered for a moment, then slowly asked, "Then do you know the true identity of Xie Yu now?"
