Chapter 879 Confession
Xu Xing was slovenly, his thick-soled boots were covered in mud, his trouser legs were torn, his beard was untidy, and he had an indescribable smell on him.
This must be someone who escaped back!
Jiang Hao was stunned when he saw Xu Xing. It took him a while to connect the person in front of him with the handsome man, and then... he couldn't help laughing.
"Why is it like this?"
Xu Dong moved his lips: "It's a long story."
Then he immediately asked, "Is grandma okay?"
Jiang Hao nodded and told him about the old lady's condition: "With me here, the old lady will be fine."
With Jiang Hao's words, Xu Xing's heart was relieved. He raised his foot to look inside the house, but after two steps, he thought of the appearance here and retracted his foot: "I'll go wash up first."
The old lady will be worried if she sees this.
When Jiang Hao saw Xu Xing again, Xu Xing had already dressed up as usual. He walked towards Jiang Hao with a smile, but his smile still revealed a bit of fatigue.
"Have you heard about the Imperial Concubine's matter?"
Xu Xing didn't expect Jiang Hao to bring up this matter. He nodded, and the smile on his face was replaced by sadness: "The wind chaser sent me a letter by carrier pigeon."
Xu Xing was a little overwhelmed when he suddenly received this news, but he quickly digested the news and accepted the fact.
"I killed the person."
Suddenly, Jiang Hao's confession stunned Xu Xing. He looked at her in shock, not knowing what to say.
However, he soon realized that the imperial concubine must have done something to force Jiang Hao to take action against her. Otherwise, if Jiang Hao really wanted to get rid of her, he would not have waited until now, let alone tell him after killing her.
"She...she..."
"She took a fake death drug and pretended to hang herself, disguising it as suicide, in order to deceive the emperor into relenting and recalling the Seventh Prince. She intended to wait for the Seventh Prince to return to the palace, then use the fake corpse to lure the emperor to Yongning Palace, intending to place the emperor under house arrest, force him to write an abdication edict, and pass the throne to the Seventh Prince."
"At first I didn't know what she was planning. Later I found out she had taken a drug that made her fake her death, so I told the emperor she was still alive. But I didn't know that I would eventually force Ruyi to tell the truth."
"The Imperial Concubine hated me for ruining her plan. But her hatred for me is not the key to why I killed her. The key is that I can't let her do anything that will bring harm to you and me again."
Concubine Shu's madness is like a time bomb that may explode at any time.
By then, all the people in the Weiguo Mansion and she would be killed without a burial place.
So, since Concubine Shu "asked to die", just fulfill her wish.
"She died in her sleep. No one knows the cause except me. The diagnosis of the Imperial Hospital is that she didn't want to wake up."
After hearing the cause of Concubine Shu's death, Xu Xing finally felt a little relieved.
He was sad about his aunt's death, but reason also told him that Jiang Hao's approach was for the better.
The reason why my aunt took the risk was still because of the Xu family.
Her father had already clearly told her that the Xu family would not get involved, and the Seventh Prince had even less intention of doing so, so he advised her to give up.
However, she still took a gamble and attempted to force the emperor to abdicate.
If Jiang Hao had not discovered the abnormality and let her carry out the plan, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Okay, that's the end of it."
Xu Xing was silent for a while before speaking slowly: "The cause of my aunt's death was just as the Imperial Hospital diagnosed. There is nothing else. What you said today, from now on, you and I will both keep it to ourselves."
