Chapter 344 Conflict in the Hall
The commander of the Beijing Guard knelt on the ground and was very afraid. He was promoted from the position of deputy commander and couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts at all. This incident involved several princes. Maybe he would prepare for the funeral as soon as he was promoted. He sighed helplessly and reported everything he saw: " Reply to the emperor, other than that, there are traces of prey and bows and arrows by the pool, and nothing else has been found.
Mo Junming turned his head and looked at Mo Junyan, with a smile in his eyes: "Didn't the second emperor say that he went to investigate the invitation, but did he still participate in the hunting? Father, the second emperor and brother must have wanted to find the flaws, so he intended to cater to him. Please don't blame him.
It was clearly a plea, but it was secretly pointed out that Mo Junyan and others participated in the hunting, which completely offset Mo Junyan's previous pavement. You said earlier that you went to the outskirts just to investigate the invitation, but later you found that there were prey on the ground, which obviously began hunting. In any case, the charge of filial piety will be confirmed.
Mo Ao looked at Mo Junyan with an ugly face, with a trace of inexplicable precautions in his eyes. Just now, his performance was too good. Even he believed that this incident was a conspiracy. Unexpectedly, the second son actually participated in the hunting and made an unfilial act and made what he said very innocent. Even he was deceived. If this son wants to rebel one day, will he hit the door of the palace? He is still in the dark.
Mo Junqi's heart jumped. This time he was so careless that he let the prince grab the handle.
"Report to the emperor, Qingya has a few words to report to the emperor."
"Tell."
Mu Qingya's expression was pale, and the wound on her hand was still bleeding outward. She wet the gauze. It was obviously extremely weak, but her face was firm: "To the emperor, Qingya had to distinguish one or two for the second prince this time. When I arrived at Beizhuang, only the second imperial concubine was there. After looking around for a long time, I didn't find anything wrong, so I had to go to the forest to check. Because there were many beasts in the forest, I had to wear bows and arrows neatly. Speaking of prey, I did shoot a few, but because by noon, we were hungry and unbearable. Fortunately, we have bows and arrows, otherwise we may not be able to come back to see the emperor this time.
Mo Junqing said, "Father, I would like to thank the second brother this time. Fortunately, he has protected me many times so that my ministers can come back safely. Anyway, this time it's not right. Please punish me."
"Father," when he heard Mo Junqing plead guilty, Mo Junyu quickly said, "Father, this matter is that my son is not good. It hasn't been long for the third brother's health to recover. He has been muddle-headed about the matter. It's my son who is not thoughtful. Please ask his father to punish his son."
Mo Junming gritted her teeth secretly and hated Mu Qingya. She repeatedly ruined her own good deeds. Damn it. When she led the topic away, Mo Junling helped to plead guilty. The two sang together and completely changed the nature of the matter. They looked like brothers and brothers, but set him off as a villain who forced his brother.
Mo Ao looked at Mo Junyu and Mo Junqing kneeling side by side below. His anger was slightly calm, but his suspicion was not dispelled. The relationship between the two brothers was excellent. Before that, when Mo Junqing was mentally incomplete, Mo Junyu tried his best to let this brother be bullied. Now he saw that the two were competing to plead to defend each other. In his heart, the fear in his heart became more and more obvious. Mo Junyan's fief was originally the strongest. Although this plague was implicated and his strength was damaged, it did not shake the foundation. If the two sons unite, there will be a person in the court who can resist them: "This matter is really strange, Chen Yu, this matter will be handed over. I'll investigate for you..."
Mu Qingya's eyes moved, and the afterglow looked at the anxious prince, and his eyes deepened slightly.
At this time, a bodyguard quickly ran in: "Return to the emperor, Jianzhang Palace suddenly caught fire, and the fire was very strong. Please ask the emperor to move."
Jianzhang Palace is a place specially prepared for the prince. Because Mo Ao spoiled Mo Junming very much before, Jianzhang Palace was very close to Guangning Palace. After Mo Ao announced the abolition of the prince, he did not move Mo Junming out for some unknown reasons. Now that the fire is on fire, Guangning Palace is easy to be affected.
Mo Ao frowned: "What are you talking about? Why did Jianzhang Palace catch fire again?
The vicissitudes have been dry for too long, and almost all the people are in a state of anxiety. Cases of fire are common. However, how long has it been since the construction of the last fire was completed, and the fire broke out again? Why did this fire go to Jianzhang Palace?
Mo Ao was very angry and frowned and ordered, "Go and have a look."
Did Mo Junyan come forward and ask: "Father, let's go to preside over the fire. It's not safe for you to go."
"No, I just want to see why this Jianzhang Palace is on fire all day." After saying that, he went out directly regardless of everyone's request.
Mo Junming was slightly stunned, and then slowly raised the corners of his lips. How could Jianzhang Palace catch fire again? He subconsciously looked at Mu Qingya, and his eyes were full of suspicion and examination. When Mu Qingya passed by him, she suddenly reached out and held her arm and asked in a low voice, "What the hell did you do?"
Mu Qingya raised her eyes and her eyes were cold: "The eldest prince thought too much. Qingya is a saint in Guangning Palace. How could he go to Jianzhang Palace to set fire? Can Qingya still be separated?"
Mo Junming smiled, lowered his head and approached Mu Qingya's ear, and a derange light flashed in his eyes: "Mu Qingya, don't play with me. Do you want to build Zhang Palace? OK, I'll let you burn it, but you have to take good care of the next thing. Don't be too disappointed."
Mu Qingya raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Thank you for reminding me that Qingya will take good care of herself."
"Princess." Mo Junqing went to the door and found that Mu Qingya did not follow. He turned his head and looked at Mo Junming, "What else does the eldest brother and the princess have to say?"
"Hmm." Mo Junming snorted coldly and said nothing. He walked directly to the door and chased Mo Ao away.
The smile on Mu Qingya's face was full of fainting. From Mo Junming's words just now, she vaguely felt something was wrong.
"Qingya, but what did he say?" Mo Junming asked with concern.
"It's okay, Junqing, have you ever tamped in Jianzhang Palace?" Mu Qingya asked suddenly.
"I planted two nails there, but they are extremely secretive and should not be found."
Mu Qingya frowned, and her uneasiness became more and more serious: "What about Mo Junming?"
"He... He must have done a lot of tampers in it, but the second brother is careful, and there should be nothing wrong with him."
"Let's go, things have changed." Mu Qingya's face changed when she heard this, and she didn't have time to explain anything. She strode outside the hall. Leqi quickly followed and stood behind her.
Mu Qingya turned around, motioned Leqi to follow up, and whispered, "Go and tell the emperor's whereabouts to the noble concubine, so that she won't worry."
"Yes, miss." Leqi nodded quickly and left lightly.
In a Guangning Palace, you can smell bursts of charred questions, and bursts of smoke rushed to the sky, which made people feel afraid.
Wen Hai supported Mo Ao and felt his increasingly unstable breath, and he was very anxious.
Around Jianzhang Palace, the guards and eunuchs splashed horizontally on the flames back and forth, but the effect was not great.
"Your Majesty, don't move forward any more. The dragon body is important." A delicate voice came, which attracted Mo Ao to turn around and happened to see Xia Jingyan, the noble concubine who was helped by the maid of honor.
"Why did you come here? Don't you know it's dangerous here?"
Xia Jingyan saluted with a faint sweat on her forehead and a deep worry in her eyes: "To report to the emperor, my concubine always feels panic in the palace, and even the child in her belly is not secure, so I want to see the emperor, but I don't want to hear that the emperor has come here."
Mo Ao frowned and scolded the palace man behind him: "You don't know how to persuade your master to let her walk around and hurt the prince? Why don't you help your master sit down?
Mo Junming rushed over and saw that Mo Ao did not walk to the gate of Jianzhang Palace. He suddenly hated it. He had already prepared a good play in Jianzhang Palace and waited for Mo Ao to go up and stage it. Without arriving first, this noble concubine actually interrupted her plan. Turning to look at Mu Qingya, he thought that it was such a coincidence that the noble concubine appeared with the credit of this girl, but did you think she would win in this way?
Mo Ao was helping Xia Jingyan to walk beside him, and a noise suddenly appeared, causing him to look back.
I saw a person full of flames rushing out of Jianzhang Palace. The flames were burning fiercely. His whole body was wrapped in flames, like a fireman, followed by the guards and eunuchs holding water basins.
"Quick, hurry up, catch up with him."
"Don't run, roll twice, roll twice on the ground."
The fireman seemed to hear it and rolled twice on the ground in a fire, extinguishing a lot of flames. The person next to him took the opportunity to splash water and finally extinguished the flame on his body.
Mu Qingya frowned and saw that the man's clothes had been destroyed a lot, and there were large and small blisters on the skin, which looked very horrible.
"Your Majesty, please help me."
Mo Ao was extremely unhappy. Hearing the man's call, he waved his hand to stop the guard next to him who wanted to pull him down: "What's wrong with you?"
The man seemed to be so injured that he couldn't stand up. He only crawled forward twice in a lying down position, leaving a long blood stain on the ground: "To the emperor, my name is Zhou Da. I was originally a gardener who managed the flower garden in the palace, but I didn't expect to suffer the pain of burning fire. Please ask the emperor to save the slave. I don't want to die. I still have a mother and brother in my family, and I have to rely on the slave to support my family. How can I die like this?
"What are you talking about? Do you know the reason why the fire started? Mo Ao motioned the maid to help the noble concubine Li aside and looked at Zhou Da on the ground like a torch.
"I told the emperor that I knew that it was made by Li Qing and that he wanted to kill me."
"Why did he kill you?"
"Because I knew the evidence that he wanted to harm the eldest prince, one day I was trimming the flowering and found that he was connected with a maid of honor. The maid of honor gave him a paper bag and said that she was going to go down to the food of the eldest prince. The slave was frightened for a moment and accidentally made the flowers tremble. He found the slave. The slave wanted to escape, but he was caught by him. He locked the slave in the utility room and lit a fire to burn the slave to death. The fire was not too strong. When it spread, the slave escaped from the chaos. Please ask the emperor to save my life."
