Chapter 1126: Chapter 918: The Information in Minister Lu’s Heart Read by Xiaosuisui_2

"Minister Lu, let me ask you, is Lu Yunsheng truly the remains of Prince Qing?"

When the Emperor posed this question, Minister Lu replied, "Yes, he is indeed the young heir of the Prince’s Mansion of Qing!"

At this moment, the letter from Xiaosuisui was handed over to Princess Lianchun, which read:

[He is my old man’s son, and has nothing to do with Prince Qing!]

Still written in that crippled chicken scratch, missing limbs!

Even though Princess Lianchun had already deduced the answer, she was still quite furious at this moment.

Colluding with a royal consort is a crime punishable by the extermination of the entire family!

How dare Lu Zezhong do this?

Princess Lianchun’s mind was in chaos!

"You still haven’t explained why the young heir of the Prince’s Mansion of Qing ended up at your Minister’s Mansion?"

The Emperor’s voice came coldly.

Lu Zezhong remained kneeling, his voice even more resolute than before.

"I have already stated, Your Majesty, the young heir fainted at the back door of my mansion after the great fire at the Prince’s Mansion of Qing, and it was my mansion’s cook who rescued him."

"If Your Majesty doesn’t believe me, you can summon the cook to confront me!"

Another letter from Xiaosuisui was sent to Princess Lianchun.

Princess Lianchun deduced from the crippled writing that it meant [I must hold on, only by passing this test and dispelling the Emperor’s suspicions will Yunsheng be recognized as royal blood.]

Seeing this information, Princess Lianchun’s pupils contracted sharply; could Lu Zezhong have further motives?

Princess Lianchun inexplicably panicked, turning her head to look towards the Emperor’s direction.

"What is it?"

Empress Dowager Xiao sensed Princess Lianchun’s unusualness and hurriedly asked.

There was anger in Princess Lianchun, which the Emperor also sensed, quickly looking towards her.

"Does Royal Sister have something to ask Minister Lu?"

Princess Lianchun took a deep breath and slowly said, "It’s been quite a lengthy inquiry; I am feeling rather tired. We believe that we should have something to eat before continuing the questioning!"

Upon hearing this, both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were somewhat taken aback. How many questions had been asked for there to be tiredness so suddenly?

Yet, the mother and son both rose.

"Lianchun just returned to the palace, her body is weary and indeed needs rest. It’s just right, I am also tired; let us rest for a while. Emperor, take care to rest too, we shall resume the interrogation after the meal!"

The Empress Dowager was the first to stand, saying quite a lot, but ultimately it resulted in a flurry of people leaving the Imperial Study, leaving only Minister Lu and Liu Hengyu kneeling and facing each other!

Upon leaving the Imperial Study, the Emperor and Empress Dowager walked ahead, while Princess Lianchun held Xiaosuisui’s hand, walking behind them.

Suddenly, they slowed down their pace, waiting for Princess Lianchun and Xiaosuisui to catch up before the Empress Dowager asked with curiosity.

"Lianchun, you stopped the questioning suddenly, did you discover something?"

The Emperor also looked at her with curiosity.

Princess Lianchun handed over a stack of letters filled with Xiaosuisui’s crippled writing.

"You can take your time reading it! I’m not looking at them anymore."

It’s time to let others experience the helplessness and headaches she had endured before.

"Suisui, your writing is really..."

"What’s wrong with my writing?"

Xiaosuisui’s face immediately registered recollection upon hearing the Emperor mention her writing.

She instinctively covered her face.

The Emperor turned his head and looked at her, "Who taught you how to write like this?"

Xiaosuisui immediately pointed to Princess Lianchun.

"Aunt!"

Princess Lianchun’s face darkened, grinding her teeth, "Say it again, who taught you?"

Xiaosuisui covered her head, "Don’t knock on my head anymore, it was... it was Uncle!" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Ji Youyuan sneezed heavily, and Wang Dongxue asked with concern, "What’s the matter? Have you caught a cold, husband?"

Ji Youyuan shook his head, "No, I just have a feeling something’s not right somewhere."

In the end, both the Emperor and Empress Dowager Xiao were stunned by the information Xiaosuisui candidly wrote.

Their journey brought them back to the Cining Palace, where the Empress Dowager asked Nanny Xiao to take Xiaosuisui to play with Da Feng.

"It’s too cold; don’t let her ride Da Feng and Feifei. Be wary of the wind and catching a cold."

The Empress advised, letting Nanny Xiao take Xiaosuisui away.

Left were the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, Princess Lianchun, and Ji Youzhi among the group, piecing together numerous psychological insights about Minister Lu and Liu Hengyu from the impoverished writings of Xiaosuisui.

"This child is quite remarkable; at such a young age to write so many characters, it’s truly not an easy feat, it’s hard on her."
