After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

The national teacher did not deny it.

Therefore, it was indeed the Imperial Master who colluded with Concubine Li to drug her mother.

But where did they find such witchcraft poison?

Xiao Ji's thoughts turned over and over, and finally turned into a sneer.

The extremely perceptive Imperial Master immediately questioned, "What are you humming? What do you mean? You..."

"I laugh at your stupidity." Xiao Ji said, "You've been used as a pawn for so many years, and you still don't know the truth."

"You're talking nonsense..." the Imperial Master retorted subconsciously.

Xiao Ji's clear and bright voice was very pleasing to the ear. "Before my mother passed away, the harem was empty and His Majesty only favored my mother."

"Why did my mother attack the maidservant beside Concubine Li?"

The Imperial Master answered without hesitation, "Of course it's because she's jealous. She plotted to murder the imperial concubine. Shaoyao..."

Xiao Ji interrupted him, "If my mother was really jealous, why didn't any of the other concubines in the harem get into trouble after Shaoyao died?"

"It wasn't until my mother passed away and Concubine Li took the throne that another concubine in the harem died."

"Wang Ergou, these... you should be very clear."

"If Shaoyao knew in her grave that you had sought revenge on the wrong person, she would never be able to rest in peace."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The Imperial Master angrily asked back, "She can't possibly be lying to me..."

Xiao Ji knew who Wang Ergou was talking about.

Princess Li.

But the national teacher's counter-question also proved that the national teacher had listened to his words, because everything he stated was true.

As an eyewitness, the national teacher should be very clear about it.

His mother was kind, gentle, cheerful and generous. She would never murder others out of jealousy!

.

The Imperial Master kept on blabbering on, repeating the words "She couldn't possibly lie to me".

Xiao Ji heard it clearly, and doubts arose in his mind.

Wang Ergou seems to be very confident that Concubine Li will not harm Shaoyao...

why?

"What is their relationship?" Xiao Ji asked according to his intuition.

The Imperial Master's muttering stopped, and the room fell silent again. Obviously... the Imperial Master had inexplicably regained his composure and was not prepared to talk to Xiao Ji anymore.

Xiao Ji said, "I heard from the old people in the palace that when Shaoyao was still alive, she often had various injuries on her body."

"Someone also saw Concubine Li privately..."

"Impossible!" the Imperial Master retorted, "Xiao Ji, there's no need to sow discord! I won't believe you!"

"You're scared." Xiao Ji said calmly, "You're afraid that you've really done what you did for your wife's murderer for so many years, and you don't dare to face it."

Wang Ergou scoffed, "Whatever you say."

He doesn’t believe it, he doesn’t believe it…

"Ah."

Xiao Ji chuckled, his laughter full of ridicule, "Coward."

"Wang Ergou, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Xiao Ji said slowly: "Let's bet on the real cause of Shaoyao's death."

"..."

There was silence.

Xiao Ji was not in a hurry either. He didn't mind giving Wang Ergou some time to think carefully about what happened that year.

Just when Xiao Ji's footsteps were about to disappear.

He heard Wang Ergou's voice, "Bet."

……

When Xiao Ji returned to the Prince's Mansion, there was already another person beside Xie Yao. It was Wei Chan, who Xie Yao had personally designated as "needed" yesterday.

The two sat very close to each other, discussing something in low voices.

His Crown Princess had a sweet smile on her face, while Wei Chan's expression inexplicably seemed a bit... doting?

"cough!"

Xiao Ji coughed lightly, walked quickly to the other side of Xie Yao, and asked Wei Chan bluntly, "Why are you here?"
