Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 539 The Dilemma of Emperor Hongzhi
If Zhu Jiewei hasn't figured out by now that the person in front of her is not Chen Ce, then she really has an intellectual problem.

Zhang Heling said excitedly: "Girl, listen, listen, he said it, didn't he say it now? He is Chen Ce, it's useless for you to kill me, I'm really not Chen Ce, please let me go, I beg you."

Zhu Jie stared at Chen Ce coldly and said, "Despicable! Villain!"

"You don't even dare to admit who you are?"

Chen Ce smiled and said, "Didn't I admit it? I just want to tell you that your father was pushed into this by King Xingxian."

If Chen Ce guessed correctly, the only one who could guess that King Anhua died because of him on the ship to the Japanese island was King Xing Zhu Youlang.

Zhu Jiewei was obviously stunned, but she still asked doubtfully: "Why did he want to kill my father?"

Chen Ce said, "On the ship that went to the Japanese island, Prince Xing brought a beautiful concubine with him. Your father coveted her beauty and was discovered by her. Then, during the quarrel, he accidentally pushed her into the sea."

"You are so smart, girl, why not think about it, if it was really me who killed your father on the ship, and the emperor was also on the ship, would he not do anything to me?"

"Prince Xing is his half-brother. He was able to kill your father and still be fine. I can't do it, but he can."

"As long as you think carefully about these things, you can find clues. I think you must have been deceived by him."

Zhu Jiewei was obviously tempted.

Chen Ce continued, "You are holding Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling hostage, not me. He has nothing to do with this matter. Please let him go. I will still treat today's incident as if nothing happened. Please leave the capital as soon as possible."

Zhu Jie sneered: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Get me a horse!"

Chen Ce nodded and said, "Okay, but don't hurt him. If something really happens to him, you may not be able to leave Beizhili. You know how important he is to the emperor."

"Leave your life, if you want revenge, go to Wa Island and find King Xing."

Zhu Jie was silent for a moment, then said sternly: "Stop talking nonsense! Prepare a horse for me!"

"it is good."

Chen Ce agreed to her request straightforwardly and whispered to Li Zhen, "Go and prepare a sick horse for her. Make sure she can't walk far."

"Caught alive!"

On the one hand, Chen Ce had to ensure Zhang Heling's safety. After all, if Zhang Heling really died, Queen Zhang would probably be in an uproar, and he couldn't let anything happen to Zhang Heling.

On the other hand, he also wanted to capture the Holy Mother of the White Lotus alive. He wanted to know what kind of collusion there was between the White Lotus and the Mongols.

Zhu Jiewei's IQ is not enough in front of Chen Ce. It is difficult for her to distinguish the truth from the false, especially when Chen Ce is so sincere.

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Okay!"

Soon, a horse was brought over. Chen Ce signaled the people in the inner factory to retreat, and then said to Zhu Jiewei, "Can you release Shouning Hou?"

"hehe!"

Zhu Jiewei threw Zhang Heling onto the horse like a dead dog, then turned over, rode on the horse, and rushed out quickly.

"Catch up with her!"

Chen Ce shouted to Li Zhen, and then said: "Send her to the Jinyiwei in half an hour. I will enter the palace now."

"Here!"

……

After the horses left the capital, they traveled quickly for several miles. Zhang Heling was thrown off the horse and fell severely.

Li Zhen had no time to care about Zhang Heling, and rode his horse to catch up with Zhu Jiewei. Zhang Heling cursed, "You bunch of beasts! You bunch of beasts! Just wait for me, wait!"

After a while, Zhang Yanling came quickly on horseback, crying, "Brother, brother! Are you okay?"

Zhang Heling cried, patted Zhang Yanling on the shoulder and said, "A friend in need is a friend indeed! We are brothers now!"

"Hmph! Quick, take me into the palace!"

Zhang Yanling asked hurriedly: "What are you going to do?"

Zhang Heling yelled, "I'm going to the emperor to impeach that bastard Chen Ce!"

Zhang Yanling was full of admiration and asked Zhang Heling, "Brother, don't you feel any pain? There's an arrow stuck in your butt."

Oh shit! Hiss!

Zhang Heling just reacted now, the piercing pain spread from his buttocks to his head, the pain made him gasp repeatedly!

"First, take me to the Imperial Hospital first, quickly!"

Zhang Heling lay on the horse in shame, and Zhang Yanling quickly pulled Zhang Heling to the Imperial Hospital.

……

Qianqing Palace.

All the officials from the six ministries of the cabinet gathered in the Western Garden, and Chen Ce told Emperor Hongzhi everything that had just happened.

Emperor Hongzhi narrowed his eyes. Only now did he realize that the reason why Annan was making things so difficult for the Ming Dynasty was probably because she wanted to force Chen Ce to show up!
Chen Ce is smart.

Li Dongyang glanced at him indifferently and said nothing. This boy was really cruel. Not only did he kill King Anhua, but he also played his daughter around.

He spoke truthfully and falsely. You killed the man, but you actually blamed it on King Xing...

It seems that the daughter of King Anhua is not very smart. How could she actually believe Chen Ce's lies?
Of course, what Li Dongyang didn’t know was that if Chen Ce hadn’t predicted in advance that it was Zhu Youqiu who leaked the information to Zhu Jiewei, then everything he said would have backfired!
The reason why Zhu Jiewei could easily believe Chen Ce's words was because Chen Ce predicted that it was Zhu Youlu who leaked the news to Zhu Jiewei, so he framed Prince Xing, so that Zhu Jiewei could believe that Prince Xing had the motive to deceive her.

It seems that what Chen Ce said is easy and simple, but what if someone else tries it? There are many games involved that others can't see at all.

Emperor Hongzhi looked unfriendly. He really didn't expect that the so-called White Lotus Mother would actually be a member of his Zhu family.

Fortunately, Chen Ce had already ordered people to arrest Zhu Jiewei. He said to Chen Ce: "Chun Jian, after you catch her, you and the Ministry of Justice will interrogate her together!"

Chen Ce nodded and said, "Okay!"

After Emperor Hongzhi asked the ministers of the six ministries to leave, he left Chen Ce alone and said, "I am sorry for Prince Anhua's death."

"His daughter, leave him a chance to live."

Chen Ce: “…”

According to Chen Ce's opinion, the woman must be killed to prevent future troubles. However, Emperor Hongzhi was soft-hearted and felt sorry for Prince Anhua. Since he said so, Chen Ce would not disobey his order and nodded, "I understand."

"Well, let's go."

Just as Chen Ce was about to leave, there was a howling sound outside. Zhang Heling said heartbreakingly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I, your servant, want to impeach Chen Ce, this bastard!"

"He wants to kill me! He wants to kill me!"

"Alright! Chen Ce, you bastard, so you are here! Your Majesty, please let the golden armored guards beat him to death. You don't know how despicable he is. He almost took my life!"

Emperor Hongzhi rubbed his forehead with a painful look on his face. Zhang Heling was indeed miserable, and Chen Ce was indeed not kind enough. If this matter were brought to the attention of Empress Zhang, she would probably not let Chen Ce go. Emperor Hongzhi looked embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
