Chapter 1116 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (two hundred and thirty-eight)
Zhao Yu was assassinated. Although he did not die, he suffered physical pain and hated the person who harmed him.
The emperor asked Wei Ying to investigate the case, so Wei Ying must give a result.
Qingli thought that Zhao Jian had become obedient and completely withdrew from the competition for the throne because of the fertility issue.
But all the evidence Wei Ying found pointed to Zhao Jian, and Tian Hao was not suspected, as if what happened that day was just a coincidence.
Looking at the evidence, Qingli couldn't help laughing. It was completely speechless. People without strength should not use their full strength to attack close to the opponent. It would be easy to capsize. Look, Zhao Jian capsized in the ditch.
Not so many coincidences in the world are destined, they are all calculated. The assassination of Zhao Yu was the result of the joint efforts of many parties, but everyone else hid behind the scenes, and Zhao Jian was pushed to the front as a pawn.
Wei Ying had to report to the authorities, and he didn't wrongly accuse Zhao Jian. He just didn't handle the matter properly and was caught with evidence. He could report to the authorities, and there would be no need to investigate further.
"Aying, please submit it. As for whether the Queen and Concubine Jia took action against Zhao Yu, the Emperor will make the final decision."
"Yes, that's what I think."
When Wei Ying handed the evidence to the emperor, the emperor held the file and angrily cursed Zhao Jian.
When Zhao Jian was escorted into the palace, he denied it at first, but when the evidence was conclusive, he began to beg for mercy from the royal family, telling them about his grievances and unwillingness, saying that he was just possessed by the devil for a while and that he felt extremely remorseful afterwards.
The father and son stayed in the inner room for an incense stick of time, while Wei Ying stood outside the door, guarding with him and He Shi, awaiting His Majesty's instructions. He Shi was the first to see Concubine Shu's sedan chair, and he hurried forward to help Concubine Shu over.
After Wei Ying saluted, he stood as a stone pillar, not saying a word.
After He Shi went in to report, Shufei was also allowed to enter.
Others don’t know that Wei Ying’s hearing is different from that of ordinary people, or rather, only his wife knows it, because they are both like this. Relying on these ears, they know a lot of secrets.
Can Concubine Shu accept that her adopted son harms her biological son?
Although she knew that not only Zhao Jian had ill intentions, but other people also wanted to harm her son, and Zhao Jian was just the one who was pushed into the open, it was undeniable that Zhao Jian had the intention to kill Zhao Yu and even took action.
She's not that generous.
Today's movements were not secret. Even if Wei Ying hadn't heard what was said, he could have guessed what was going on from the decree. Zhao Jian was demoted to a commoner, no longer a prince, while Consort Shu was given the title of Consort Tian, and Zhao Yu was given a fiefdom.
Zhao Jian was helped out of the hall by palace servants. In less than half an hour, Zhao Jian looked ten years older.
In the past few years, Zhao Jian had aged rapidly due to various setbacks, and this was even more so now. He did not look like a young man in his twenties, but rather like a man in his fifties, with a face full of despair.
Zhao Jian stopped in front of Wei Ying and suddenly burst into laughter. "Why? Why are you such a talented young man? Your name is known throughout Dazhao as the God of War, and you even managed to marry your ideal wife? Why do all the good things happen to you? If the eldest daughter of the Song family had married me, I would definitely not have ended up like this! Definitely not!"
Wei Ying said expressionlessly: "You are not worthy of her."
Zhao Jian was furious and helpless: "I'm not worthy of her, so how can you be worthy of her? Even if I can't do it, I still have two children, and you, you don't even have a child for her!"
Wei Ying disdained to answer. He Shi winked at the palace servants, and Zhao Jian was immediately dragged away.
The frustrated people could only cry bitterly and resent the unfairness of fate, but they could not arouse any sympathy from Wei Ying.
"Duke, His Majesty invites you in."
"Okay, thank you, Steward Heshi."
Wei Ying bowed and thanked him, then walked in calmly.
