Chapter 388 How about...see you again?
Chapter 388 How about...see you again?
Xu Xing was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked with some speculation but disbelief: "You... have seen it too?"
What shocked Xu Xing the most was the miserable condition of the deposed prince. Who could have thought that the emperor "forgiven" the deposed prince, spared his life and confined him in the deposed prince's mansion, while the real situation was unknown.
Because he was so frightened, he was almost discovered.
I originally thought that after meeting the deposed crown prince, I could learn the true story of Jiang Hao's life from him, but...
"Okay, have you really seen him?"
Jiang Hao didn't say anything, but closed his eyes and nodded gently.
Everyone in the room was shocked when they saw this.
Jiang Hao said slowly: "I think the prince is also very surprised by the situation in the abandoned prince's mansion, right? So surprised that it overturned his father's understanding of his son's humanity."
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but...
Over the years, the deposed prince has been recalling the tragic deaths of his wife, children and mother, while at the same time being tortured by his own father. If he was wronged, this resentment...
It's scary to think about it.
However, the deposed prince that Jiang Hao saw had no fighting spirit at this time and only wanted to be free.
What Jiang Hao said was what Xu Xing was thinking.
"The witchcraft case involved a wide range of people, and coupled with the embezzlement of taxes from the Jiangnan area, the emperor was furious. Although many ministers cried out for his injustice and some even lost their lives, Empress Ji committed suicide, and more than 20 people died in the prince's mansion overnight, but the deposed prince survived."
"Some people say that the emperor is merciful and that even a tiger would not eat its own cubs; but others say that the deposed prince sacrificed his mother, wife and children in order to save his own life and begged for mercy alone."
"But who would have thought that His Majesty would be so..." Cruel!
Xu Xing didn't finish his words, he really couldn't say them.
It was so cruel that even a man fighting on the battlefield felt a chill all over his body.
"The prince invited me to have a chat today. Do you want to take the risk of taking me to meet him?"
Xu Xing indeed planned to do so.
However, now that Jiang Hao had already met him, he was surprised.
However, Jiang Hao did not explain how he met the deposed prince.
Normally speaking, His Majesty has been deploying so many people inside and outside the Deposed Crown Prince's Mansion for ten years, and he doesn't want anyone to know the situation of the Deposed Crown Prince.
"Please forgive me for not being able to explain what the prince is thinking for now."
However, I can tell you another piece of news.
"I am most likely his daughter."
When Jiang Hao first met the deposed crown prince, she couldn't fully believe it. But over the past two days, after looking at herself in the bronze mirror and seeing that her features were similar to his, she finally began to believe it.
After hearing this, Xu Xing was shocked again.
"But, that jade pendant..."
Xu Xing's heart was full of unanswered questions. He thought he had seen the light, but it was suddenly filled with darkness again.
“That’s why I’ve never been sure.”
If the jade pendant really proves her identity and everything was arranged by Ji Yan, then why didn't other people in the Ji Mansion have any doubts?
"How about...seeing him again?"
Jiang Hao didn't agree immediately, not because she didn't trust Xu Xing, but because she didn't want to involve Xu Xing in this matter.
After all, behind Xu Xing is the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, not just him.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, you don't have to get involved. I have other plans."
"Okay, actually..."
"Sir, the weather has warmed up."
Jiang Hao interrupted Xu Xing and changed the subject to the poison in Xu Xing: "Just in case, you and the young master should be prepared. Don't get injured or have a cold. I will cure you of the poison as soon as possible."
When it comes to detoxification, Zhang Zhongjing standing by suddenly becomes nervous.
