Chapter 171 How to deal with it is a difficult problem
Looking at Geng's body again, County Magistrate Ji felt an indescribable depression in his heart.
After all, she was the one who had been with him for so many years.
Say no, it's gone.
He couldn't help but walk forward and lift a corner of the white cloth.
Just this one glance almost sent him away!
He stepped back several steps and waved to the servants beside him, "Quick! Carry it out! It's not decent to leave it in the yard!"
"Master, where should we carry it to?" The servants were also in a dilemma.
"She is no longer a member of the Ji family. Take some money and carry her to the charity cemetery for resettlement!"
"Yes." The servants immediately lifted Geng up.
……
At this time, Concubine Gao was running around the room like an ant on hot pan.
Things have developed to this point, she really doesn't understand Ji Chuhe's purpose!
When Geng died, Ji Chuhe actually had her body carried directly to the Ji Mansion for burial.
There was no mention of keeping Geng's body to seek an explanation.
Ji Chuhe wouldn't think that she could be sentenced to death based on all this, right?
Then Ji Chuhe is too naive!
"Mother!" Xiao Jincheng walked in quickly, "Did you send someone to assassinate Ji Chuhe and fail?"
Concubine Gao stopped and looked at Xiao Jincheng with deep eyes, "Don't let me hear about the assassination of Ji Chuhe from you again!"
She walked up to Xiao Jincheng and held his shoulders. "Everything has nothing to do with you! It was all arranged by mother! Remember?"
Xiao Jincheng nodded with difficulty, "Son, I'll remember it."
"Go back to your yard, and don't come to see me again until Ji Chuhe comes back!"
"Yes." Xiao Jincheng turned and left.
Concubine Gao suddenly laughed, and her laughter echoed throughout the room.
"Okay, okay! Now that things have come to this, I'm too lazy to pretend anymore! From now on, who can achieve what kind of status depends entirely on their ability!"
At this moment, Concubine Gao was still certain that even if the truth came out, even if the prince knew that she was the one who did all these things, he would not touch her!
At worst, she would just fall out of favor completely!
Anyway, she hasn't been favored in all these years!
It would be better to concentrate on planning for your son’s future!
After all, she still has her parents' family to rely on!
……
It was already evening when Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an returned to the palace.
Prince Huaiyang and the Princess had already received the news and were waiting in Heluan Palace.
As the carriage drove into the courtyard, County Magistrate Gao also arrived. The servant welcomed him into the front hall first. At the same time, Concubine Gao also received a summons.
"Concubine, the prince and princess asked you to go to the front hall for questioning."
"I understand." Concubine Gao responded calmly, picked up the comb and continued to comb her hair, "When putting on makeup, use the brightest lip balm for me."
"Yes, concubine."
……
Inside the Heluan Palace.
Xiao Yan'an told the Prince of Huaiyang and the Princess about his trip, including the results of his investigation into the murder.
"Father, Mother, this matter was all planned by Concubine Gao, and the evidence is irrefutable."
After hearing these words, Prince Huaiyang looked at Ji Chuhe and said, "He'er, how do you think father should deal with Concubine Gao?"
Ji Chuhe stood up and knelt down to salute, "This matter still needs the decision of my father."
"Yes, such a big matter naturally has to be handled by this king."
"Don't worry, father. I know the pros and cons of this. No matter how you deal with Concubine Gao, I will not complain." Ji Chuhe immediately made her attitude clear.
"What a sensible boy."
Xiao Yan'an glanced at Ji Chuhe and saw that she had a calm and peaceful attitude.
This time, Concubine Gao is going to kill her!
She could still take it so calmly, but if it were him, it would be impossible for him not to care at all.
"Have you found out all the charges against Xu Gui?" Prince Huaiyang asked Xiao Yan'an in a deep voice.
"Reporting to Father, I have checked it out."
"Based on the evidence of his crimes, what sentence should he receive?"
"capital offense."
"Since it's a capital crime, it's easy to deal with. Xu Gui is only going to die once, and if he takes on a few more lives, it won't be unfair to him."
"Father, do you mean to let Xu Gui take the blame for Concubine Gao?" Xiao Yan'an looked at his father in surprise.
In his impression, his father always seemed to be rigid and inflexible.
how come……
The contrast is really too great.
"Are you going to hold a grand trial of Concubine Gao? And then implicate the entire Gao family, and bring the incident before the Emperor?"
"That's not what I meant." Xiao Yan'an quickly denied it.
He also knows the interests involved.
"What about Concubine Gao? Are we just going to let her get away with it?" Xiao Yan'an didn't want to let Concubine Gao go either.
"Of course not!" Prince Huaiyang's tone suddenly turned cold and stern. "Let's go. County Magistrate Gao should be here. Let's go to the front hall too."
lobby.
County Magistrate Gao was feeling uneasy.
As soon as he heard footsteps, he stood up immediately.
I thought it was the prince and princess who arrived, but it turned out to be his daughter.
Concubine Gao was dressed particularly brightly and her makeup was much heavier than usual, which added a bit of fierceness to her.
County Magistrate Gao pulled Concubine Gao over and asked in a low voice, "Did you do something again?"
"Yes." Concubine Gao responded generously.
County Magistrate Gao's heartbeat quickened. "What did you do again?"
"Assassinate Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an." Concubine Gao responded calmly.
"You! Are you crazy?" County Magistrate Gao couldn't believe that this was his daughter.
"And..." Concubine Gao paused deliberately.
"Anything else?" County Magistrate Gao felt like he was suffocating.
"I was also responsible for planning those murders and pinning the blame on Xu Gui."
"You...you are simply..." County Magistrate Gao didn't know what words to use to describe her. "Didn't I tell you that after Ming'er's incident, don't act rashly! Even if Jincheng marries Ming'er, so what? He's one of ours! I can always be by his side and provide some help!"
"Help? I don't want it!" Concubine Gao suddenly became excited, like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Just from what Prince Huaiyang said calmly when he wanted her son to take a concubine, she would not let Ming'er be her son's concubine!
"I thought you didn't look like your mother, but I was wrong. You look exactly like her!"
"Father, are you referring to mother's cruelty? But even if she was cruel enough to kill the woman father loved the most, she still couldn't win father's heart, right? After so many years, father still lost his mind when he saw a fake with similar aura! What did mother do wrong?"
County Magistrate Gao held back his words.
"It's the same for me. Perhaps my father shouldn't have sent me to the palace. I'm just like my mother. I can't win a man's heart. Even if he wasn't so partial to me and just had me in his heart, that would be enough."
Outside, footsteps were heard again.
When County Magistrate Gao saw that it was Prince Huaiyang, he immediately went to greet him.
Concubine Gao also turned around.
Her eyes swept over Prince Huaiyang, the princess, Xiao Yan'an, and Ji Chuhe one by one.
"You are indeed a family, so neat and tidy." She couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, and without any greeting, she walked to a seat aside and sat down.
