Chapter Visit again
Seeing his expression, Lu Yaoyao sighed inwardly, stood up, walked to him and patted his shoulder.
"Since I got to know Her Highness, she has given me a very good feeling."
"Maybe she is not a heinous person and what she did was wrong at the beginning, but I think you should not think too much about it."
"Either we should investigate carefully what happened at that time, or we should go to the Grand Princess's Mansion again. Instead of being suspicious, it would be better to ask in person."
Hearing this, King Jin remained silent, as if he was thinking about it again, but also seemed to be in a dilemma.
To be honest, he couldn't ask. Last time he went with the intention of asking, but when they met, he didn't know how to ask.
"Now that she has found Zheng Youcai, she has probably guessed that you may know something."
"You don't want her to take that step, right? Why don't you just spread it out and say, how about I go with you?"
"Need not."
King Jin refused directly. This was a royal matter. Although Lu Yaoyao would also be a member of the royal family in the future, it was better not to let her get too involved in this matter.
"Although I did not kill my father with my own hands, his sudden death had a lot to do with me."
She also agreed very much with what Prince Jin said. Now is indeed not the best time.
The eldest princess nodded when she heard this and said, "I know a little bit, but I originally thought he was lying to you. What's going on with your cooperation?"
Prince Jin nodded. He didn't want to have a final sword fight with his imperial sister.
"Yes, it will be after Yao Yao and I get married and have children."
"You're right. Since this has already happened, let's just ask directly."
Later, the King of Jin told how he and Emperor Hongwen were open and honest in the beginning and how they reached cooperation.
In the past, he had always believed in what he knew, thinking that it was done by Duke Zhen Guo in order to support Emperor Hongwen's rise to power.
"I can't tell you everything yet."
The two siblings just stared at each other for a while before nodding at the same time.
"Royal brother, how do you know this?"
"Sister Huang also knows?"
However, with the defeat of Zhen Guogong, something happened that made him feel that everything he had always believed in in the past seemed to be broken.
Regarding his arrival this time, the eldest princess seemed to have thought of something, and did not let Aunt Li go to greet him, but got up herself.
"I'm ready, there are some things I can't escape."
"The Emperor himself told me. Didn't Sister Huang discover the cooperative relationship between me and the Emperor?"
Seeing him like this, the smile on the eldest princess's face became gentler. She raised her hand, took Prince Jin's hand, and patted it gently.
"It's not easy for me to say anything about this. I think it's better to find out the specific situation back then."
He also gained some understanding of what happened that year through what he heard afterwards or during the investigation.
"Actually, I noticed something was wrong with you the last time you came here. I originally thought that this matter would be buried with me, but I never thought that you would find out about it."
"I believe that Sister Huang will not lie to me. I believe whatever you say."
"Then I'll go there again in a while."
In the afternoon of the same day, King Jin arrived at Princess Dachang's mansion again.
"On one side is the father, and on the other side is the imperial sister you respect."
Hearing this, King Jin looked at her intently and did not answer her words, but his eyes were full of questions.
The eldest princess nodded, but still warned: "It's better to be careful when it comes to everything."
"This step cannot be taken. We are not at the end yet. Everything is still too late."
"Yes, the military power in the north is now in my hands, and he didn't ask me for it. I think I can believe it."
As soon as the eldest princess opened her mouth after sitting down, King Jin was stunned for the first time.
This is indeed a problem. In the heart of Prince Jin, the status of these two people is not bad. One is his father, and the other saved his life. He has a sister who has treated him like a biological brother since he was a child.
If she really did it, it would be quite cruel to him.
When his voice fell, the eldest princess opposite stood up in shock.
King Jin blurted out the words almost as soon as the eldest princess finished speaking.
"What happened back then will not be clear for a while, and there are too many things involved and it is very disgraceful."
He still couldn't ask directly.
"The emperor's brother came here this time to ask about what happened back then."
"There's just one thing that makes me very embarrassed."
Even though the eldest princess has always been reclusive, she still understands the situation in Dongzhou very well.
This was what he wanted to hear the most. He didn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe that his father was killed by his sister.
Seeing him like this, a faint smile flashed across the eldest princess's face and she asked, "If I say no, do you believe it?"
"Too much involved? Disgraceful?"
The King of Jin did not say much about Lu Yaoyao's identity. First of all, Emperor Hongwen was not of the late emperor's blood, which in itself was a serious crime. If someone with intentions knew about it, she might also be in danger.
"Imperial brother, you are very good, and the love I have shown you all these years is not in vain."
He now wants to know what the specific situation was back then.
"How can I say that the two of you will work together to deal with Duke Zhen Guo later?"
Lu Yaoyao pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you worried about how you should deal with it if she admits that she did it? No, I shouldn't say deal with it, but how should you face it?"
"Did he say when he would return his position to you?"
Since Emperor Hongwen came to the throne, almost all the kings who fought in the past have been killed, so why bother talking about it? As for being disgraceful, there is nothing disgraceful about the death of the late emperor. The only disgrace is.
"Is it about the fact that the emperor is not his father's son?"
"How do you know?"
He was not too clear about what happened back then. After all, he was not very old at that time, and there were so many brothers fighting against each other. The atmosphere in the palace at that time was heavy, and all the palaces were in a state of turmoil.
"Once you figure it out, you'll be able to make a better decision."
"Moreover, there are still many things to deal with within Dongzhou. If he gives way now, I'm afraid it will cause shock to the whole country."
Afterwards, the two siblings arrived at a pavilion, and Grandma Li was arranged to guard at the entrance of the courtyard from a distance.
But then he looked up at the eldest princess, and after a while he asked with difficulty, "Father, this is you."
Furthermore, he was also worried that the eldest princess would have a grudge against Lu Yaoyao as the daughter of Emperor Hongwen.
"Speaking of which, you and Yao Yao have been engaged for some time. When do you plan to settle this matter?"
"Sister Huang, there is no need to worry. Yao Yao and I have already made plans. It will be done by the end of next year at the latest."
The eldest princess nodded again, with a much bigger smile on her face.
"Yao Yao is a good girl, capable, and very suitable to be your wife."
