Chapter 311 Killing
The faces of the people in the Jianzhang Palace were full of panicked expressions. Fortunately, Mo Ao was beside them, so they were not in a mess. Although the bodies of the crown princess and Princess Mu have not been found now, there must be no reason to be alive under such a big fire. If the master dies, there is no way for them to survive.
The prince ordered the palace people, and his face was full of sadness: "Go and have a look. Be sure to find the princess."
He Qingyun covered the corners of her lips with a silk handkerchief, and the vicious light in her eyes could not hide. Situ Ningxuan, although you don't have any real power in Jianzhang Palace, after all, you have been on my head for so many years. It's really not good to remind yourself that you are not as good as others all the time. Now, without you, I am the prince. Although Zi's mother has now been reduced to a concubine, she will definitely be able to restore her identity again with my beauty and means. Now that my brother has received the trust of the emperor, it is impossible for me to be a main room, and you can only watch on the ground with your unborn child, hehe...
Just when the prince and others were anxious, the bodyguard who went to search came over in panic: "The emperor, the queen and the prince, there were only two bodies in the cabinet, and there were no trace of the princess and Princess Mu."
"What? How is this possible?" He Qingyun, who was calculating beautiful things, suddenly heard the news, and her voice suddenly changed and she exclaimed directly.
The prince, who was originally stunned, suddenly recovered when he heard her words and suppressed the shock in his heart. He slapped He Qingyun in the face: "Bold, he was so disgraceful in front of his father. He dragged her down and blamed her for thirty."
He Qingyun's face suddenly turned pale. She had just miscarried. If it hadn't been for Situ Ningxuan being burned to death this time, she wouldn't have come here. If she had been punished with 30 court staffs now, wouldn't it have killed her? He quickly knelt down and cried, "The prince forgives me. I was too surprised in my heart. When I heard that the princess was fine, I was confused for a moment..."
Hearing her words, Mo Junming's face became more and more ugly. This bitch dared to drag him back at this time. The emperor and the queen stood beside him, but she begged to herself. Was she implying that she was tyrannical?
Mo Ao took a look at the prince and frowned impatiently: "Drag her down."
The bodyguard beside him quickly came forward, gagged He Qingyun's mouth and pulled her down directly.
Mo Ao said again: "Prince, you said that the crown princess and Mu Qingya are in the cabinet. What's the situation now?"
"When I returned to my father, I didn't know that my son and everyone saw that the crown princess and Princess Mu were kidnapped, and the thief set fire to the palace. How could there be no body... Did those thieves rob the crown princess and Princess Mu?" Mo Junming said, and the expression on his face seemed to be sad and happy, as if he didn't know how to accept this situation.
Mo Ao looked serious, but did not refute his words. The prince and many bodyguards have seen Situ Ningxuan and Mu Qingya being held hostage, so this must be true, but there is no body now, and the result is really uncertain. He never thought that the prince would be so bold to deceive him.
The queen's eyes changed when she heard that she did not find the body of the crown princess. This plan was carefully planned by her. To get rid of Situ Ningxuan and Mu Qingya in one fell swoop, which can not only arouse the emperor's guilt for the prince, but also help Han Linglong and Han Lingruo to eradicate obstacles. She is precise at every step. After calculation, there can be no problem at all! But now that the facts are in front of her, she has to say that she has miscalculated again. For the first time in so many years, she has failed so carefully. Does the problem arise with Mu Qingya? Thinking of the similar atmosphere of Mu Qingya and her sister, she felt disgusted!
The emperor and the queen here look ugly, but Duanmu Lingyu is in a difficult mood. Shadow saw that Mu Qingya successfully escaped, so he did not appear. He directly found Duanmu Lingyu and told the cause and effect of the matter.
Duanmu Lingyu sneered: "The queen and the prince are really bold. As soon as I gave the prescription, it didn't work, so she began to eradicate us useless people. Shadow, you go secretly to protect Qingya and let them not appear for the time being. I'll take care of the rest." Han Xilian, since you are good at acting, I will give you a wonderful performance!
Yi Rongcheng Yu Jinghong's appearance, Duanmu Lingyu took a group of literary ministers and generals to Jianzhang Palace. He made full preparations for this trip to Canglan. Because of many matters in the early stage, the prepared people were not used, and now there is a chance.
So, before Mo Ao decided how to deal with this matter, Yu Jinghong and others cried.
"Princess..." Yu Jinghong rushed to the door of the palace, and his voice was full of sadness, "What's going on? How can Her Royal Highness... How can Weichen explain to the emperor! Damn it..."
Mo Ao, the prince and others were shocked by Yu Jinghong's sudden action. They never thought that the envoy of a country would make such a big salute for a princess and cry so painfully.
The literary ministers behind Yu Jinghong came over and quickly saluted Mo Ao: "I've seen the emperor. Please don't blame the envoys. In fact, when I come this time, I come out to discuss the plague prescription with you, and there are two important purposes. One is to find a good husband for Princess Duanmu Mingli, and the other is to escort Princess Mu back to Beijing.
Mo Ao frowned: " escort Mu Qingya back to Beijing?"
"Please forgive us for the crime of deception. Princess Mu is the lifesaver of my Jade Emperor. Even the princess's father has rescued the emperor many times. I am a cold country and led by etiquette. The king of a country is even more an example of the country. How can he not know how to repay his kindness? Last time the princess's brother fell ill, the emperor of our country was worried day and night and felt guilty about the princess. He didn't expect such a thing to happen this time... Didn't it make the emperor unable to repay his kindness? This..." The Wenchen said, with tears in his eyes, and he looked like he was worried about the king, which made Mo Ao's face more and more ugly.
Even the queen and prince beside them look tense. Now the vicissitudes have been frustrated, and the long drought has made a large number of fields grainless. At this time, if it angers Yuhan, I'm afraid that even the food and fodder in the army will become a problem. Many ministers in the court are thinking that they will borrow food from Yuhan in autumn. If Mu Qingya really dies, it will be good for the two countries not to fight!
"Don't worry about the envoys. There is no princess in the cabinet. I think the princess will be fine." The prince asked the eunuch next to him to help Yu Jinghong up, with a look of comfort, "The princess is with the princess, and there is a lonely child in the princess's belly. I think it will definitely have auspicious people." At this time, he could only count Situ Ningxuan and the death in his stomach. Yuhan lost the princess, and Canglan also lost the crown princess and the legitimate son. This is a loss for both sides!
Duanmu Lingyu mocked in his heart that if he didn't know the truth of the matter, he really thought how much the prince cherished and valued Situ Ningxuan. However, it is not surprising that such a vicious person who even kills his own children is good at acting, but his purpose is not here.
"Your Majesty!" Duanmu Lingyu got up and walked to Mo Ao and saluted deeply, "Your Majesty, Princess Mu is the benefactor of our monarch. No matter what, we must find the princess. Otherwise, Weichen really can't explain to the king, and ask the emperor to agree.
Mo Ao nodded, frowned, and looked quite solemn: "Well, I will naturally tell people to look for it with all their strength."
Duanmu Lingyu smiled vaguely and looked up and said painfully, "Your Majesty, please hand over the bodyguard who came to encircle and suppress the assassins to Weichen. These people have a large number of bows and arrows in their hands. How can they let a few assassins escape? They are obviously not careful enough. It's useless to keep such guards. It's better to kill them.
The prince's eyes have deepened, and these guards are his confidants. He dare not leave such a secret thing to others, because once exposed, he will never die, so he can only choose his trusted people. If these people die, his power will be damaged.
Mo Ao frowned: "These guards are naturally handed over to the Criminal Division for interrogation. I can rest assured that I will definitely review it clearly."
Duanmu Lingyu looked worried: "Your Majesty, I'm not..." He didn't say a word, and a guard knelt down on the ground with a pale face and a fire fold fell from his chest.
Suddenly, everyone's faces changed, especially the prince, who stared at the bodyguard and couldn't wait to smash his body. At this time, the prince forgot that these people were his power and only thought that this man's negligence was enough to put him to death!
"Your Majesty, how can this bodyguard have a fire break? This man should not be an accomplice of the assassin. No wonder that he can't even catch two assassins for so many years. I just heard that it was also him who admitted that those assassins were not with a Canglan accent. It must be that he deliberately framed Yuhan and provoked the competition between the two countries. Please dispose of it."
As soon as Duanmu Lingyu opened his mouth, many literary ministers behind him began to narrate the conspiracy to Mo Ao. Hearing the end, Mo Ao only felt that there was a shocking conspiracy hidden in it, and the person who designed the assassination must have wanted to destroy Canglan.
"The guards of Jianzhang Palace left their posts without permission, and the court was unfavorable, causing the assassin to escape, and the whereabouts of the crown princess and Princess Mu were unknown. The commander of the bodyguard was handed over to the Department of Criminal Justice, and the others were sent to prison and publicly beheaded three days later.
The queen's eyes changed slightly: "Your Majesty, you also know that there are very few spies among the bodyguards this time. Such a hurry to ask whether he will miss the opportunity for interrogation."
Duanmu Lingyu looked serious: "The Queen's words are not good, and the emperor's move is particularly wise. The bodyguard must know the most, and it is extremely appropriate to send him to the Department of Criminal Justice for interrogation. As long as the emperor says three days later, there is a three-day interval between this. If someone is afraid of death, the emperor will definitely know as soon as possible. This is a good way to deter! The emperor is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" A group of literary ministers knelt down and shouted, holding Mo Ao's plan to the sky.
