The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler Chapter 882 - Then Confront!

Chapter 882: Then Confront!

The voice was like thunder that landed heavily, instantly shocking everyone present! The blood word hidden in the phoenix-tailed zither is actually ‘Jiang?!’ Anyone with a brain can guess that the Princess had other intentions for using such a complicated method to leave this clue behind on the phoenix-tailed zither! Trap Dragon Formation… Blood word… Jiang… When all of this is combined together, isn’t it secretly hinting that Jiang Yucheng was the one who harmed her?!

Lang Kun Hall fell into dead silence!

Jiang Yucheng’s ears whirred!

Jian Shuye’s sharp questioning was like a heavy fist that slammed down, catching him off-guard and causing him to be completely stunned.

He originally thought everything was done perfectly without a single mistake and that n.o.body could find any clues. However, he never expected Shangguan Yue to leave something behind!

The phoenix-tailed zither actually hid such a shocking secret!

Everyone’s gazes gathered together—suspicion, shock, anger…

All sorts of gazes wrapped around Jiang Yucheng like fire!

His entire person was about to burn up as a never-before-felt sense of danger overwhelmed him!

Jiang Yucheng had never felt so humiliated before in his life, until this point!

He tried his best to calm himself down and tried hard to make his voice sound calm. “A ‘Jiang’ can’t mean much. Let alone the Tianling Dynasty, there are many people with the surname ‘Jiang’ in just one Xi Ling City. Why do the few of you immediately think it’s me? What if this word doesn’t refer to someone’s last name but something else?”

Jian Shuye was so angry that he laughed. “Jiang Yucheng, don’t act stupid here. There are indeed quite a few people with the last name ‘Jiang,’ but the Princess doesn’t know many of them, right? If she wasn’t driven to a corner, the Princess would never leave such a clue behind. This also means that it’s very likely she was harmed in the zither room! And you—aren’t you the one who most regularly goes to the zither room? Do you really know nothing about this?”

Jiang Yucheng’s gaze suddenly faltered. “Master Jian, you’re right. However, this really has nothing to do with me. Back then, the Princess and I were in love, and we were about to get married. Why would I have any reason to harm her?”

“You have to ask yourself!”

Weichi Song suddenly carried on and nonchalantly said, “Your so-called love…. Didn’t you get together with the Third Princess and even throw a majestic wedding in less than two years after the Princess’s pa.s.sing?”

“That’s right!” The moment Weichi Song said this, another burly voice sounded. It came from the person who was very upset with this wedding from the start—Meng Jingzhi! “Let’s not say that you will never marry in your entire life for the Princess, but you should at least express your feelings, right? In the end, you got together with the Third Princess the moment you finished handling the Princess’s funeral, yet you have the cheek to say ‘in love?’ Hah, you can’t even be considered a man if this is in the western frontier! Even women will look down on you!”

It was fake that Jiang Yucheng and Shangguan Wan were together for feelings, but it was true for status! If Shangguan Wan didn’t have such a status, why would Jiang Yucheng fancy her?

Even though Meng Jingzhi was stationed at the western frontier most of the time and didn’t return to Xi Ling, this didn’t mean that he knew nothing about Xi Ling’s events.

He was a warrior, but he had good eyesight. If not, he wouldn’t have stayed in his position for dozens of years!

Back then, even Mu Qinghe bringing troops to appease the rebels in Dahuang Swamp couldn’t allow the former to replace his position!

It was obvious how capable he was!

Jiang Yucheng’s face turned black for a moment.

Shangguan Wan was originally quite shocked and worried about the phoenix-tailed zither when she heard herself being scolded the next moment. She was so angry that her face turned white, but after glancing at Meng Jingzhi, she swallowed her ugly words.

That person was a bull!

There were already many troubles today. Another Meng Jingzhi would be adding oil to the fire!

Jiang Yucheng didn’t care about him as he lightly said, “My wedding with Wan’er has nothing to do with this. Even if there’s really something else behind the Princess’s death, you guys can’t push the blame to me just based on this blood word, right?”

He was bent on using this point! The word on it is indeed ‘Jiang!’ At that time, I was indeed one of the closest people to the Princess! Hence, anyone who sees the blood word will connect the two together. But if they don’t take out any other evidence, I still have a chance of survival!

“That’s right! Your words aren’t concrete evidence. If you smear Jiang Yucheng like that, my Jiang family definitely won’t take this lying down!” Jiang Lizuo stood up and hollered. “I want to see who exactly wants to drag my Jiang family down and smear my son’s reputation!”

Jiang Lizuo was the Grand Elder after all, and he had a distinguished status. Additionally, Jiang Yucheng was already married to the Third Princess, so the status of the entire Jiang family had been elevated.

Ordinary people really couldn’t afford to offend this Jiang family!

However, Weichi Song suddenly laughed. “Everyone will eventually know who is being smeared. Since you want evidence… I’ll give it to you!”

Jiang Yucheng’s brows harshly twitched. Seeing how confident Weichi Song is, does he really have any other evidence?

Weichi Song stared at him and gradually said, “I personally saw the Princess grow up, and I had the privilege to be loved by her, to be half her mentor. Ever since something happened to the Princess, my Chong Xu Cabinet has also been impacted continuously. Not many elders or disciples were left in the cabinet, and we can barely even hold up our clan now! And the reason for all of this is because I wanted to investigate the Princess’s death.”

Weichi Song’s expression gradually turned cold and solemn, and the surrounding s.p.a.ce seemed to freeze as well. “But it’s not only my Chong Xu Cabinet. In the past two years, quite a few people wanted to investigate the cause behind the Princess’s death. However, these people either ended up dead or injured. Some even silently disappeared, never appearing again. It’s as if someone has been secretly using all sorts of methods to stop them. Everyone, you should know clearly that the people who don’t want the truth to be revealed the most will most likely be the ones who harmed the Princess!”

A few people secretly nodded. Even though n.o.body talked about it on the surface, everyone knew what was going on.

Jiang Lizuo was so enraged that he laughed. “What? Weichi Song, are you saying that it’s my son that went for your Chong Xu Cabinet?”

Jiang Yucheng knitted his brows as well. “Cabinet Master Weichi, I’ve already sent that Qi Dahe to you personally before. He did use Messed Yuan Gravel on Chong Xu Cabinet, but I really had no—”

“Whether it’s true or not, won’t we know when we invite him over and confront him?” said Weichi Song lightly.

Jiang Yucheng felt that it was very ridiculous and couldn’t help but say, “You clearly know that Qi Dahe isn’t sane. How can we confront him?”

“Oh, you’re talking about this?” Weichi Song suddenly laughed. “I’ve already treated him!”
