The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 252 We Have Never Lost

Emperor Jingzhen waved his hand and asked the two to stand up. He looked at them with a dignified gaze: "The Crown Prince and Princess Mingyue are here together, but what's the matter?"

The prince stepped forward and told him about Jian Yue's request for a thorough investigation of the disappearance of the richest man in Qiongzhou. At last, the prince said, "Father, Princess Mingyue only wants to avenge her grandfather's family. As for the wealth of the Yan family, she is willing to donate it all to the national treasury."

Emperor Jingzhen raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and his deep gaze fell on Jian Yue.

Logically speaking, for such a major case, not to mention Jian Yue, who is a princess, even if it was reported by ordinary citizens, the government would have to accept it.

It was the duty of the imperial court to protect the lives and property of the people under its rule, and Princess Mingyue did not need to give up her wealth. But she did not hesitate to give up this mountain of gold that she could not spend in several lifetimes.

Emperor Jingzhen immediately understood Jian Yue's intention. He nodded secretly in his heart: Princess Mingyue is a wonderful person with a clear mind.

"Princess Mingyue is certain that my grandfather's family was murdered for money, but what evidence do you have?"

"Yes, I have found some clues." Jian Yue took out the confession and the list and handed them to Eunuch Fu.

Eunuch Fu checked it carefully before carefully spreading it on the imperial desk.

After reading it, Emperor Jingzhen's face turned dark and he did not speak for a long time.

The confession clearly stated who was behind the scenes, who executed the operation, how the Yan family's wealth was transferred to another owner, and how the murder was carried out to silence the witnesses.

The most crucial thing is that this involves General Rong, the Minister of Revenue, Xie Mingzhi and the underworld gangsters from Qiongzhou.

Emperor Jingzhen looked at Jian Yue again, and the invisible pressure was like a mountain pressing down on his head. Jian Yue straightened his back and lowered his head slightly.

"Princess Mingyue, please raise your head."

Jian Yue looked up, and her eyes met with those of Emperor Jingzhen. She paused slightly, and her gaze shifted slightly.

Emperor Jingzhen secretly admired her courage. There were not many people who could be neither humble nor arrogant in front of him, an emperor, and have an open expression.

"Since you already have such detailed evidence, you can just submit it to the Dali Temple. Why do you have to send it to me?"

Jian Yue said without hesitation: "It has been more than ten years since this case was investigated, and a lot of evidence has been lost. If we don't cut the Gordian knot quickly, the remaining witnesses will be silenced. This is the first reason. The second reason is that those involved in this case are all important officials in important positions in the court. Once the news gets out, it will affect the reputation of the court. I can't grasp the balance, so I went to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that this fortune is not small, and it would be most appropriate to hand it over to the national treasury, so I come to trouble the emperor again."

Jian Yue glanced at Emperor Jingzhen secretly: "In fact, the most important point is that I have no family to rely on. The murderers behind the scenes are all in high positions and have great power. Even if I have evidence, I will not be able to win this lawsuit."

Emperor Jingzhen frowned and said angrily: "Do you mean that the officialdom under my rule is corrupt and dark?"

Jian Yue was not frightened, and said calmly: "No matter whether it is a big family or a small family, no matter how fair and open-minded the parents are, they cannot completely eliminate one or two bad apples. People's hearts are complicated, and power can easily make some utilitarian people lose their conscience. Moreover, such people are blinded by interests, selfish and self-centered, and can no longer see other people."

Emperor Jingzhen looked gloomy and unclear.

Jian Yue continued, "General Rong is so powerful that no one can touch him except the emperor. Who dares to touch him? When I first came to the capital, I met Rong Yao by chance. After a few words of disagreement, he shouted and killed in the street. At the Crown Princess's tea party, Princess Xinyue could whip people in the East Palace at will and ignore the master of the East Palace. May I ask your Majesty, who gave them the confidence?"

The prince sighed slightly, looking sad and ashamed.

Emperor Jingzhen felt upset when he saw him like this. Bullying his son was just ignoring him, wasn't it?

Well done to the Rong family!

Jian Yue felt that this was not enough, and continued: "I wanted to take back my mother's dowry, but the Xie family refused, so I went to seek help from General Rong. General Rong sent Yan Xinning to poison me. If I hadn't followed my master to learn medicine, I would have been killed by her. What's the point of talking about dowry and redressing grievances for my grandparents? I heard that the Ghost Gate Poison Doctor lives in the general's mansion, but I don't know if it's true or not?"

The temperature around him suddenly dropped, and Emperor Jingzhen's face looked terribly ugly.

When he mentioned the poisoner, he would think of the day when his life was hanging by a thread. If he had woken up one day later, it would be uncertain whether the throne would still be his.

Emperor Jingzhen looked gloomy and waved his hand: "You go back first, I will think about it and give you an answer."

Jian Yue was driven out of the Yangxin Palace. However, she felt that the emperor would most likely agree. If he didn't agree, he would have rejected it outright.

When Jian Yue was about to reach the palace gate, she unexpectedly met Liao who was entering the palace.

Since the Emperor demoted Concubine Rong to Concubine Rong, Concubine Wen has become much more honest. She no longer dares to compete for favors openly, nor does she dare to jump around casually.

But her natal family was not easy to deal with, and they would ask her to make decisions when something happened. Especially after Wen Yuanxi's death, Liao came to the palace every few days to ask her to help her nephew to avenge his death.

When Liao saw Jian Yue, she was like an enemy meeting, her eyes were filled with jealousy. Thinking of her dead son, her eyes were blazing with fire, and she wished she could bite the person in front of her to death.

"Little bitch!" she cursed through gritted teeth.

Jian Yue smiled back and said calmly: "You old bitch with a sour mouth! My family has done too many bad things, so they have suffered retribution in this way or that way."

Liao: "...You have been rejected by the family, and this is your retribution!"

Jian Yue said modestly: "I can't compare to Madam Wen. My brother-in-law broke his leg, had a stroke, and my son was cured to death, but I dared not say a word. In terms of being frustrated, the Wen family is second to none."

Liao: ...

When it comes to who is the best at poking someone's lungs, the little bitch is second, and no one dares to claim to be first.

Jian Yue raised her eyebrows proudly and looked at Liao with a provocative smile.

When it comes to quarreling and fighting, I have never lost.

Liao was so angry that she was about to collapse, fortunately the maid beside her supported her.

clap clap!

The two maids were angered and each received a slap in the face.

Liao cursed: "Bitch! Your master is almost being bullied to death, and you didn't say a word. Are you dead?"

Each of the two maids had red fingerprints on one side of their faces, showing that Liao had used a lot of strength. They had tears in their eyes and dared not say a word.

Jian Yue sneered: "You are a bully at home!" Then she shook her sleeves and walked away.

Liao was so angry that she pushed the maid next to her fiercely and said, "You two go tear her mouth to pieces."

The two maids dared not disobey and rushed towards Jian Yue fiercely. Just when they were about to catch Jian Yue, they felt a flash in front of their eyes and she disappeared.

"Here, idiot!" Liao stretched out her hand to grab Jian Yue, but Jian Yue deliberately circled around her. Liao was almost mad at her.

Liao's face was grim, and her eyes were red. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind...
