Chapter 203 Why is it him?

"do not talk!"

Xiao Jingheng interrupted Gu Yucheng. He stood up hastily, but stumbled and almost lost his balance.

His hands hidden in his sleeves kept shaking, just like his suppressed heart at the moment.

Gu Yucheng looked up at him and asked, "Are you going to continue investigating?"

Xiao Jingheng's heart was in a mess. He had never thought that he would have to face such a result.

He frowned, his face a little painful, as if he couldn't hear what Gu Yucheng was saying? He turned around and staggered out.

After leaving the room, Xiao Jingheng suddenly covered his head, and there seemed to be a fierce quarrel in his ears.

He heard his mother asking at the top of her lungs: "Why? Why on earth did you do this? How did our Huo family ever let you down?"

"Wushuang."

He heard his father's voice: "Are you doubting me?"

"Isn't it you?"

The queen mother's laughter was so shrill: "You clearly know that the Huo family would never collaborate with the enemy or commit treason, but instead of having someone conduct a thorough investigation, you allowed those rumors to slander our Huo family. Isn't this what you want to see?"

The father seemed a little annoyed and said, "You would rather believe the Huo family than me, right?"

The Queen Mother cried with tears streaming down her face: “Those were my father and brother. They died in the battlefield inexplicably and were cursed.

My brother is only twenty years old, he is still so young!"

"That's enough, brother. Brother, you only have your brother in your heart. What on earth am I to you?"

With a loud bang, his father overturned the table, and he, who was hiding under the table, was so scared that he started crying.

It was then that the Emperor and the Queen discovered that he was hiding here.

The queen mother hurriedly held him in her arms to comfort him, while the emperor turned away.

At night, he was coaxed to sleep by his mother. He woke up in a daze and saw his mother writing something at the desk, so he continued to sleep.

Until he heard a scream, he climbed up from the bed and found his mother hanging there in a white dress, her body swaying.

He wanted to see what happened to his mother, but the nanny hugged him and covered his eyes.

Later, the palace was filled with mourning. He had lost his mother, and there would never be anyone to comfort him gently or tell him stories again.

Long-lost memories were suddenly awakened, tearing at his head like a flood or a beast.

Xiao Jingheng finally couldn't hold back his eyes and fell to the ground.

When Song Shiwei arrived, Xiao Jingheng was still unconscious, and Chen Jingmo was giving him an acupuncture. She asked nervously, "What happened to him?"

Chen Jingmo said: "It seems like he was stimulated by something."

Song Shiwei found it strange. The Xiao Jingheng she knew had always been tough and resolute. What could have defeated him like this?

She sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and held Jamel Xiao's hand, her eyes full of worry.

Chen Jingmo put away the silver needle and said, "Don't worry, the prince will be fine."

Song Shiwei nodded, and she stayed by Xiao Jingheng's side until it got dark.

She dozed off on the couch, and suddenly she heard Xiao Jingheng talking in his sleep, shouting, "Why? Why?"

Song Shiwei suddenly woke up. She held Xiao Jingheng's hand and called him, "Xiao Jingheng."

Xiao Jingheng opened his eyes suddenly, and when he saw clearly that the person in front of him was Song Shiwei, he called out in a hoarse voice: "Qingqing."

Song Shiwei's heart suddenly tightened. She lay on Xiao Jingheng's chest, hugged him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Jingheng said: "I remember everything."

Song Shiwei looked up at him and saw that Xiao Jingheng's eyes were blurred. He said, "It was my father who did it. He wanted to get rid of the Huo family."

After hearing this, Song Shiwei's face changed drastically. She sat up and asked in disbelief, "How is this possible?"

Xiao Jingheng laughed at himself: "Who else has this ability besides him?

The Marquis asked me before, since the Crown Prince had lost his moral character, why didn’t my father depose him yet?

At that time, I became suspicious. Why did the Marquis ask me this question for no reason?

Now I know that my father did not depose the crown prince because he felt guilty and was afraid."

"What do you mean?"

Song Shiwei didn't understand.

Xiao Jingheng said: "Father used the Sun family to get rid of the Huo family, so Father felt guilty towards the Crown Prince and the Queen, which is why he was reluctant to depose the Crown Prince.

There is another reason, which is that he doesn't want to make me the crown prince because he is afraid.

He was afraid that I would overturn the case for the Huo family and find out that he, the emperor, was the one behind the scenes, thus ruining his reputation!"

Song Shiwei was shocked. She asked, "Could it be a mistake? How could it be His Majesty?"

I have the impression that Your Majesty is not a tyrant, so how could he do such a thing as framing a loyal minister?

Xiao Jingheng also hoped that he was wrong, but in fact, he had such doubts ever since the Marquis told him not to continue investigating.

Until the prince died suddenly and inexplicably, and then the marquis's mansion was burned down.

And Gu Yucheng's words further confirmed his guess.

The real murderer he was looking for had always been by his side and was his closest relative!

Xiao Jingheng closed his eyes, his handsome face full of pain: "Do you know why my mother committed suicide?

Because she knew that it was the man beside her who killed her father and brother, so she abandoned me so decisively and hanged herself.

When they quarreled, I hid under the table, just because I was too young at the time and didn’t know what they were quarreling about?

I just remember that it was my father's fault, so I kept blaming him and being angry with him.

Now I remember that my mother was forced to death by my father. He killed the entire Huo family and caused this tragedy."

"But why?"

Song Shiwei really couldn't understand why His Majesty did this?

"Maybe he felt that the Huo family was too powerful and posed a threat to him as the emperor? Or maybe there were some other reasons."

Xiao Jingheng also wanted to know what it was all about.

He wanted to ask his father whether his deep affection for his mother over the years was all fake, and whether he had any regrets at all?

He threw back the quilt and struggled to get up.

Song Shiwei stopped him and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xiao Jingheng said: "Go find him and ask him why he did this?"

"You can't go."

Song Shiwei hugged him and said, "I know you can't accept it, but if it was really His Majesty who did it, and you turned against him, it would be equivalent to challenging his imperial authority. Do you think he would tolerate you?"

She gently stroked Xiao Jingheng's back and said, "Are you going to do the same as the prince and force him to revolt?"

Xiao Jingheng had too much resentment and hatred in his heart, as well as too many questions.

But if he got the definite answer, how would he face his father?

Will the father and son turn against each other and one of them will die, or will they give up the truth and pretend to have a loving father and son relationship?

he does not know!
