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

Chapter 190 The Imperial Master Must Die

"Yeah." Xiao Ji nodded, his eyes slightly lowered, "They are responsible for different things."

"Oh." Xie Yao nodded, thinking that Si Dongyu was more professional in investigating these matters, so she didn't ask any more questions.

She originally wanted to find some leverage over Xiao Ning.

But she didn't expect to find such a big one that she had never heard of in her previous life, or Xiao Ning was so cautious that she didn't mention it to Song Wenbo in front of her.

Or maybe Song Wenbo doesn’t know either.

This matter was of great importance, so Xiao Ji immediately asked Si Nan to pass the message to Si Dong.

Two days later.

When Si Dong arrived in the capital, he immediately returned to the Prince's Mansion quietly.

Si Dong, dressed in black, knelt on one knee in the study. "Just as Your Highness expected, there are indeed people who want to take advantage of the situation in Shu and spread the disease."

Xiao Ji's face instantly sank.

He was just defending himself, but he didn't expect...

"I am incompetent. The person who took advantage of the situation has not yet been apprehended, but... it seems to be related to the person the Third Prince brought to Shu this time."

"I have already informed the Marquis of Zhenbei of this matter as instructed by His Highness, and have just returned to the capital."

Xiao Ji nodded. Although he was worried about this matter, he had no choice but to trust Pei Chen.

Xiao Ji handed the rice paper on the table to Si Dong, "Next, we will focus on investigating this matter."

Xiao Ji personally taught him everything, so reading and writing were naturally no problem for him.

At this moment, he only took a look at the words on the rice paper, his pupils shrank slightly, and his expression was shocked.

Then he lowered his head and replied in a deep voice, "I will follow your Highness's orders."

Xiao Ji nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

Si Dong immediately left the study quietly.

After handing the matter over to Si Dong, Xiao Ji breathed a sigh of relief and then looked towards the direction of Shu.

I hope everything goes well for Pei Chen.

"Your Highness."

A familiar voice came from outside the door. Xiao Ji's eyebrows softened instantly and he looked towards the door. "Yaoyao."

Xie Yao walked into the study, frowning slightly, and said, "Zhu Qing just reported that there are more rumors in the capital today."

"It is said that the Imperial Preceptor has confessed his guilt and accepted punishment, but His Highness has been hesitant to confirm the case. He is trying to overturn the Imperial Preceptor's verdict."

Xie Yao spoke very politely.

The rumors outside are so ugly.

Xie Yao didn't mention anything about collusion, collusion, and mutual protection among officials.

But Xiao Ji understood without her saying anything.

"Is it Xiao Ning?"

Because he was slow to act, Xiao Ji and Concubine Li became anxious.

Xie Yao shook her head. "We haven't found the source yet, but we suspect it was them."

Xie Yao was a little worried. "Rumors are spreading like wildfire outside. I'm afraid the court officials will also bring this up during the morning court tomorrow, putting pressure on Your Highness..."

Xiao Ji's eyes were slightly cold, "It seems that they are really anxious."

When his eyes fell on Xie Yao, they softened again, "It's okay, I'll go to the palace today."

Xie Yao pulled his sleeve and asked, "Do you want to bring Sui Sui with you?"

The emperor didn't know whether he projected his guilt or nostalgia onto Sui Sui, and he treated Sui Sui very differently.

This is also one of their advantages.

The couple had dealt with this issue several times before.

But today Xiao Ji shook his head and said, "No need."

"She's still young, so we have to plan for her future." Xiao Ji kissed Xie Yao's forehead, "This time, she should also look after her father."

Even if the emperor loves Sui Sui very much, this feeling must be limited and not endless.

Use it once, and you’ll have less.

He naturally had to consider his daughter.

Even if he brings Sui Sui into the palace again, it cannot be when he has something to ask for.

Xie Yao understood his implication and tightened her grip on Xiao Ji's hand, "Then Zhao Zhao and I will wait for His Highness at home every day."

"Okay." Xiao Ji raised the corners of his lips. He liked the word "home" very much.

Ever since Xie Yao came into being.

This is no longer the cold Prince's Mansion, but his home.

Xiao Ji entered the palace and went straight to the Yangxin Palace.

It didn't take much effort to see the emperor, who had just met with important officials in the court.

At this moment, he looked a little tired and looked at Xiao Ji, "Prince, why did you come to the palace today?"

"Your Majesty, I'm here regarding the Imperial Master." As soon as Xiao Ji finished speaking, the emperor frowned.

"Prince, some things... should be stopped at the right time."

Xiao Ji's heart sank slightly.

He knew it.

"Father, ever since I learned about this, I have been worried about one thing." He knelt on the ground. "The day before yesterday, I came out of the prison and fainted due to my weak body."

"Your son's time is running out. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me and grant me the opportunity to fulfill my long-cherished wish."

Xiao Ji is the typical type who looks thin when dressed but has muscles when undressed. At this moment, he was kneeling straight, and his figure seemed a little thin.

He looked directly at the emperor with clear and firm eyes. Although it was a bit disrespectful, he had no intention of backing down.

The father and son looked at each other.

No one gave in to anyone.

The emperor knew what Xiao Ji wanted. He looked at the person in front of him with a momentary trance in his eyes.

He wanted to say that those things were not as simple as Xiao Ji saw on the surface.

It is definitely not the work of one or two people.

If we really want to investigate, I'm afraid it will cause a huge storm...

But when he met those stubborn eyes, all these words were stuck in the emperor's throat.

The atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation became increasingly depressing.

Li Dajian could hardly breathe, his eyes fixed on the tip of his shoes, not daring to look around!

for a long time.

The emperor's voice finally rang out, "Why didn't you bring Sui Sui with you today?"

Xiao Ji lowered his eyes, "Sui Sui is still young. He was frightened last time and has been crying these past few days."

The emperor frowned slightly and said, "I'll go see her in a couple of days."

"Since the child is not well, you as a father can't always be busy with work. You should spend more time with the child."

"Okay, go back."

The emperor said this, "If you want to do it, then do it, but the Imperial Master... must die."

Xiao Ji suddenly raised his eyes, met the emperor's gaze, and then knelt down, "Your son obeys your command."

Xiao Ji left the Yangxin Palace, turned around and strode away.

Li Dajian carefully raised his eyes to glance at Xiao Ji's back and sighed softly in his heart.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wasn't physically exhausted, then...

The next day.

The emperor then issued an edict, sentencing the imperial teacher to death for the crimes of killing 231 people in Lingxiang Village and murdering the little emperor's grandson, and sentenced him to immediate execution!
