Even if the trouble comes to this point, the East Palace has no reputation, but the prince still cares about his own dignity.
He finally looked at Zhao Mingxi again, and then asked Mrs. Huayang, "Mrs. Yi, what is the most important thing right now?"
"Of course we have to investigate!" Mrs. Huayang was not modest at all, "Even though she is the Crown Princess, this matter involves a lot, and all the civil and military officials in the court are also here, so they can be witnesses.
Your Highness should also let these people know that Your Highness has always been brave and decisive."
This last sentence was a big temptation for the prince.
I have always heard others say that I am submissive, mediocre and untalented.
Now that we have reached this point, it is indeed time to show our courage.
So the prince nodded and said: "I thought that my wife and I were together. The prince is guilty of breaking the law and the common people are the same. Now that the prince is involved in such a thing, no matter what the truth of the matter is, I should find out the truth immediately."
Zhao Mingxi felt as if she had an olive worth a thousand gold in her mouth. The numbness spread from her cheeks to her brain, making it almost impossible for her to think normally, but she still understood the prince's words.
It fell on her heart, like a nail, piercing deeply into her flesh.
"How are you going to check, Your Highness?"
In this huge palace, facing so many people, her voice was like a drop of water falling into the sea, and no sound was heard at all.
But the prince heard it, although he did not turn around.
"If it is a false pregnancy, there must be a series of arrangements, including when to report the news, when to ask the imperial doctor to come over, and when to fake the symptoms.
If there is such a thing, you should be very afraid that it will fall into the hands of others. If you want to find it, you only need to look for it in the princess's room."
The prince, who usually had no abilities, could actually say such words in such a clear and logical manner.
Zhao Mingxi only felt it was ironic. She still remembered that when she first married him, she even wrote articles and excerpts for him, just to leave an impression in front of the emperor. After all, the prince had nothing to remember.
Live a little better.
Such a mediocre talent can actually have the brains to issue such logical and clear orders on his own matter.
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, but she didn't know whether she was laughing at the prince or herself.
Mrs. Zhao on the side was frightened. She leaned next to her daughter and lowered her voice and said: "Ming'er, don't scare me. You...did you really do such a stupid thing?"
Zhao Mingxi heard her mother nagging in her ear, which was nothing more than pointing out that she was not careful about the situation and had not considered what to do.
You see, under such circumstances, even his biological mother does not trust him.
From this point of view, the prince's distrust seems to be excusable.
Wan Niang!
If Wan Niang were here, it would be absolutely impossible for her to think that she had done such a thing.
Seeing that her daughter didn't speak, Mrs. Zhao became more and more certain that her guess was right, so she was so angry that she couldn't help but reach out and slap her daughter on the arm, "You kid, why can't you think about it so hard? One of the disadvantages of this kind of thing is that it will be a serious crime.
Not only will your own future be ruined, but your family and your father and brother will also be implicated because of you.
Even if you can't give birth to a son, what does it matter? With our Zhao family here and the love of the queen, who can take away your position as queen?!
You...why do you need to take such a desperate risk? Is this how I taught you at home?"
Zhao Mingxi was a little upset by her mother's nagging. After a long time, she suddenly turned her face and stared straight at Mrs. Zhao, "Mom, in your eyes, is this the kind of person I am?"
Mrs. Zhao felt a little frightened by her look. Then she remembered that her daughter was no longer the daughter she had before. She was the Crown Princess and the next Queen.
In fact, she had long since lost the qualification to educate her daughter in this way, so she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy at the moment.
A flash of sarcasm flashed in Zhao Mingxi's eyes, "As the mistress of the Zhao family, you found out about Zhao Yuechan before and didn't think about how to solve it. You just stood on the bank and watched the show.
Now that something happened to me, you are getting anxious. Why don't you think about why something happened to me and Zhao Yuechan at the same time one night?
I don’t want to think about why Ye Jinxi has always been a shadow in the East Palace. Why would she suddenly jump out at this time? Don’t think about the relationship between the British government and our family, don’t think about the recent changes in the situation between the DPRK and China, and don’t think about it.
I'm wondering if you've noticed anything unusual in your recent interactions with the government's backyards.
You actually want to vent your emotions in front of me, is this what you have learned from being the mistress of the Zhao family for so many years?"
Mrs. Zhao was stunned.
Zhao Mingxi, however, had been suppressed enough for one night, and finally found an outlet, without giving his mother a chance to refute.
"What's more, why don't you think about the connections someone like Zhao Yuechan has, and where did she come from, even the little prince was poisoned by a poison that took so much trouble to cure.
She has been a flower in the greenhouse since she was a child. Even when she came to the East Palace, even if she had some rights, she still used the people given by the Zhao family.
If she wanted to get such a thing, who would she go through and what method would she use? With her brain, how could she possibly know such a method, and who would be using it."
Mrs. Zhao stared at her daughter in shock. He found that she could not refute a word. Everything her daughter said was true.
She really didn't think about it, it wasn't that she didn't think about it, it was just that she never thought about it from beginning to end.
Zhao Mingxi looked at her like this, and the sarcasm on his face became stronger. "If you have nothing to do, just go aside quietly and watch how your daughter is crucified. It has been arranged long ago."
Just take the blame!"
After saying this, Zhao Mingxi closed his eyes directly, as if he didn't want to look at his mother again.
Mrs. Zhao, however, felt that her whole body was cold. She looked at her daughter who seemed to have lost all hope. She could not say a word and felt that everything was heading towards the abyss.
The British princess on the other side was not much better than her.
But what she was thinking about was a completely different situation.
She squeezed her niece's hand nervously and quietly, with a hint of trembling in her voice, "Jinxi, tell Auntie, what exactly happened?
Why did you target the Zhao family? Did the Crown Princess and Concubine Zhao do anything to you? When you encountered something in the palace, why didn't you tell your family?"
Speaking of the latter part, the British princess's voice was a little choked, and she was obviously distressed by Ye Jinxi's life in the palace.
Ye Jinxi couldn't help but shudder. She finally raised her eyes to look at her aunt on the side, with tears in her eyes, "Aunt, I don't have one."
The British princess looked at her, said nothing, just looked at her quietly.
Ye Jinxi's hand was held tightly and she couldn't help but squeeze it tightly, but she felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart.
At this point, she has no way out.
Looking back at the past now, I saw that I was being pushed by Jiang Shuhua step by step and became her accomplice and pawn, and now I am not only deeply involved in it.
It even dragged the entire British government into the water. What if she had known this earlier and let her go earlier?
Looking at her aunt next to her who regarded her as her own, Ye Jinxi only had one feeling in her heart - regret.
I hate myself for being cowardly and selfish.
In her deep self-blame, the people who went to Zhao Mingxi's palace came back.
