Chapter 495: House Fight Turns into Thriller 34
Princess Jing'an smiled and shook her head. "Father, I am much better now. This time I came to talk to you about the remnants of the previous dynasty." Her eyes flashed with determination and courage.
The emperor frowned when he heard this. "Oh? Do you have any ideas?" he asked curiously.
Princess Jing'an nodded, and then slowly said: "Father, I think this incident may not be that simple. Since those remnants were able to sneak into the palace, it means they must have an insider in the court. If we just search blindly, it will be difficult to catch them all. I think, maybe we can start the investigation from the inside, find the insider, and then follow the clues to catch those remnants in one fell swoop."
The emperor's eyes flashed with appreciation when he heard this. "Well, your idea is good. However, internal investigation is very difficult. If you are not careful, you may alert the enemy. Do you have any specific plan?" he asked.
Princess Jing'an smiled slightly, then took out a list from her sleeve. "Father, these are some of the suspicious people that I have been secretly investigating over the past period of time. Some of them are palace maids and eunuchs, and some are guards and court officials. Although there is no conclusive evidence yet, I think there is a high possibility that the traitor is among them," she said.
The emperor took the list, looked at it carefully, and nodded. "Okay, this list is very useful. I will send people to secretly investigate these people. However, you must be careful not to put yourself in danger." He said with concern.
Princess Jing'an smiled and nodded. "I know. Please rest assured, father." She said.
In the following days, Princess Jing'an began to participate more actively in the investigation. She used her influence in the palace to secretly collect various clues and intelligence. Whenever she found something suspicious, she would immediately report it to the emperor.
The emperor did not disappoint her. He sent his trusted eunuchs and Jinyiwei to secretly investigate and interrogate those people according to the clues provided by Princess Jing'an. Soon, they found an important clue - a eunuch named Li Gonggong, who had close ties with those remnants.
Eunuch Li was an old man in the palace and had always been trusted by the emperor. However, when the Jinyiwei arrested him and tortured him, he confessed and admitted that he had colluded with the remnants of the evil.
It turned out that Eunuch Li had received favors from the royal family of the previous dynasty in his early years and had always been grateful to them. When those remnants found him and hoped that he could help sneak into the palace and assassinate Princess Jing'an, he agreed without hesitation. He used his position and influence in the palace to provide various conveniences and help to those remnants.
After learning the truth, the emperor was furious. He immediately ordered Eunuch Li to be executed by slow slicing as a warning to others. At the same time, he also sent a large number of Jinyiwei and imperial guards to conduct a more rigorous search and suppression of the entire capital. Those remnants were arrested one after another when they had nowhere to escape.
The storm finally subsided. However, it had a profound impact on the palace and the entire capital. People began to re-examine their behavior and positions, and no longer easily believed in other people's promises and vows. Princess Jing'an also grew up in this storm. She became stronger and braver, and was no longer easily defeated by difficulties and setbacks.
One day, Princess Jing'an was walking in the imperial garden when she met the imperial physician who came to visit her. They sat on a stone bench, enjoying the rare peace and tranquility.
"My Lord Imperial Physician, I am really grateful to you this time. If you hadn't rescued me in time, I might have died long ago." Princess Jing'an said gratefully.
The imperial physician smiled and shook his head. "You are too polite, Princess. This is my duty as an imperial physician. Besides, I am also very happy to see that you can stand up again and face life again," he said.
Princess Jing'an looked at the doctor's eyes full of wisdom and warmth, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. "My dear doctor, do you know that you gave me strength and courage when I was most helpless? I am really grateful to you." Her voice was a little choked, but she cheered up immediately, "I have decided that from now on, I will be stronger and braver. No matter what difficulties and setbacks I encounter, I will not give up easily."
The imperial physician felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this. "It's great that Your Highness has such an idea. I believe that with your efforts, you will have a better future." His eyes were full of expectation and encouragement.
At this time, a breeze blew, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers. Princess Jing'an looked up at the white clouds floating in the sky, her heart filled with longing and expectation for the future. She knew that she still had a long way to go and many things to do. However, she believed that as long as she persisted, she would be able to realize her dreams and wishes.
The imperial physician sat quietly by the side, silently accompanying Princess Jing'an. He looked at her determined eyes and brave expression, and his heart was filled with relief and pride. He knew that although he was not directly involved in the turmoil, he gave Princess Jing'an the greatest help and support at the critical moment. This made him feel extremely honored and satisfied.
As time went by, Princess Jing'an gradually recovered and her spirits improved. She began to participate more actively in the affairs of the palace and the court, helping the emperor solve problems. The emperor also valued and trusted her more and more, and entrusted her with many important tasks.
Thanks to Princess Jing'an's efforts, the palace and the court gradually regained their former peace and prosperity. The remnants and treacherous officials who had tried to subvert the royal rule were eliminated and punished one by one. The entire capital once again ushered in a period of peace and stability.
In this process, Princess Jing'an not only grew into a stronger and braver woman, but also gained a lot of precious friendship and love. She established deep feelings and trust with the maids, eunuchs and court officials around her, and became a leader and role model in their hearts.
The imperial physician had been silently accompanying Princess Jing'an, providing her with selfless help and support. He watched her move towards success and happiness step by step, and his heart was filled with joy and satisfaction. He knew that although he did not directly participate in those magnificent historical events, he gave Princess Jing'an the greatest help and support at the critical moment. This made him feel extremely honored and proud.
