Chapter 418: The Emperor Wants to Judge in Person
When she arrived here, Guan's mother seemed to understand where she was, and before she arrived in front of the hall, her legs were already weak and trembling, and she had just been brought in by the little eunuch, and she had already knelt on the ground.
"The emperor spares his life, the queen mother spares his life!"
Guan Mother knelt at the door, slammed her head and kowtowed, not polite at all, as if the head was not her own, gritted her teeth and her face turned pale, except for shouting for mercy, there was nothing else in her mind.
"Come here!"
The emperor wrinkled his brows and snorted coldly at Mother Guan, and his eyes gradually flashed with a touch of sharpness, which made Mother Guan, who was already nervous and scared, tremble in her heart.
The sound that penetrated the entire hall poured into the ears of Mother Guan, she thought that she had heard it wrong, and after a long time she came back to her senses and looked at the emperor, and just hesitated, she was kicked by the eunuch next to her, and a sharp voice came from her ears.
"Let you go a little ahead, the emperor has to ask!"
kicked on her body, so that Guan's mother sobered up a little, and was just about to stand up and walk forward, after thinking about it, the leg that had just gotten up knelt down again, and walked forward with the urge, and only then stopped behind Mu Xiyue and them.
"Your Majesty, Yue'er and Yan'er have been kneeling, and their knees are going to be swollen!"
When Concubine Duan looked at Mother Guan, she saw that Mu Xiyan had a little pain on her face, so she said a word to the emperor with a full breath.
The emperor was stunned, saw that Mu Xiyue and Mu Xiyan were still kneeling, and raised his hand: "You two get up!" ”
Mo Yichen originally put his hand on Mu Xiyue's body, but now when he heard the emperor's words, he hurriedly reached out and pulled her up, seeing that her legs were a little unstable, he leaned over and let her lean on.
Next to her, Situ Muxue also came over and helped Mu Xiyan up, supporting her with both hands, barely able to stand firmly.
Seeing both of them stand up, the emperor retracted his gaze and turned to Mother Guan, who had just come over, and the voice like a soaked in ice water resounded throughout the hall again: "Do you know why I brought you here?" ”
Guan's mother was frightened by the emperor's voice, and hurriedly kowtowed again, kowtowing while crying and begging for mercy: "The emperor Mingjian, the old slave has never done anything that hurts the heavens and reason!" The emperor spares his life! ”
Actually, Guan Mama didn't know what she did wrong when she was here, anyway, after a few people in black asked a few questions before, she was taken to a place she didn't know, and then after several rounds of interrogation, she had to draw a detention or something, which looked quite scary, but she didn't do anything illegal, so she was confused.
Wrong!
Mother Guan suddenly remembered that the things they asked about before were all things they took from Douzi thirteen years ago, but, when they thought about it, they didn't know what that thing was, but it was just a hand-over, what happened? But I'm also running errands for others, so I don't know anything!
"Old, old slave doesn't know ......"
Guan Mom didn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, so she could only tell the truth.
There was a bit of scrutiny between the emperor's eyes, and when he saw that Guan Mother was not lying, the expression on his face softened a little.
"Thirteen years ago, you took a package from Douzi and gave it to the fourth aunt of General Su's mansion?"
The emperor's voice was not as sharp as it was just now, but brought out a calm atmosphere.
"Yes!"
This matter has been asked several times since the man in black took Guan Mother away, and Guan Mother answered without thinking about it.
"Hmm!" The emperor responded, looked at the tension on Guan's mother's face and eased a little, and continued to ask, "Do you know what is in the package?" ”
The expression on Guan's mother's face changed slightly, and when she thought about it, she did feel a little wrong when she gave the package to the fourth aunt, but she didn't dare to talk nonsense in the face of the emperor, so she could only say what she saw.
"Return, back to the emperor, the slave maid was holding the package and felt soft, waiting outside the side door, curious and stretched out a corner, who knew that before he could see clearly, the fourth aunt took someone out to take the package away, however, the slave felt that the package was ...... It's a kid......"
Guan Mother's speculation, under the current circumstances, seems to have become a fact, and with so much evidence before, everyone will naturally be clear.
"Do you remember what day it was?"
The emperor's voice sounded again, making everyone's whispering stop suddenly, if the time when these two children were taken away coincided with the time when Mufu was on fire, it really explained the problem.
"This ......"
When Mother Guan heard the emperor's question, she thought about it seriously, and suddenly slapped her leg, as if she remembered.
"I can't remember the exact time, but it is said that a fire broke out in a general's mansion that night, and the whole family was burned to death."
Guan 's mother remembered the situation at that time, because the place she rented was near there, but fortunately, she left the imperial capital overnight after giving the package to the fourth aunt of General Su's mansion.
The emperor's face darkened suddenly, and he turned to look at General Su and Su Qianmu, who were still kneeling on the ground, and his voice sounded like thunder: "Come on, take the Song family and the fourth aunt from the main room of General Su's Mansion to Xingsi Mansion, and I will interrogate them personally!" ”
Everyone was frightened by the emperor's cold roar, and when they looked up, they didn't dare to look more, and the mother Guan, who had just been a little more down-to-earth, was so frightened that she instantly collapsed on the ground, and before she could react, she was pulled out by the guards who came over, and she even forgot to beg for mercy halfway, or she didn't dare to make a sound at all.
The emperor's voice was not only the mother in charge, but also the people of the Song family who originally wanted to intercede with Mrs. Su, but thinking about it, it was a big crime to destroy a general's mansion after all, not to mention that the relationship between Mu Xianghui and the emperor was not just as simple as a monarch and a minister, even if the Song family had a deep foundation, they didn't dare to speak now.
The Queen Mother was startled on the seat and almost fell down, but fortunately, the queen helped her on the side, so nothing happened, but this heart was hanging like this, and she couldn't put it down for a while, but she couldn't do anything, after all, she couldn't ask for it!
"The Emperor's ......"
When the Queen Mother spoke, she was also stunned in her heart, she knew this son in her own heart, but if it was really like this now, Song Xinran would definitely die.
"Today is the prince's birthday banquet, let General Su go back and check this matter for himself, after all, after so many years, there should still be something to figure out."
There was a bit of temptation in the queen mother's voice, and between speaking, her eyes looked at the emperor, and her eyes trembled slightly.
Listening to the Queen Mother's words, the emperor's face sank again, and he looked sideways at the prince, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, as if he had his own idea.
"Prince, what do you think?"
Although he is a member of the General's Mansion, the emperor does not care about General Su now, no matter what, Mrs. Su's crime is confirmed, it is nothing more than a matter of finding all the human and material evidence, but it is the prince, after this incident, the emperor's opinion of the prince has another layer.
"Back to my father, General Mu led the troops to help my father inherit this country, and collected the southern wilderness to stabilize the country, and saved the life of his son at a critical moment, in public and private, the ministers all wanted to make a contribution, the birthday banquet is nothing, it is important to comfort the loyal generals in the spirit of the sky, and the sons and daughters now have a preliminary understanding of this case and are willing to help their father review the case!"
The prince's voice was firm, his eyes were calm, and when he said a few words, people couldn't help but tremble with his emotions, and instantly brought out his innate domineering spirit.
"Good, good, good!"
The emperor said three good words in a row, looked at the prince, nodded, his face was a little more relieved, and when his eyes turned to General Su again, the expression in his eyes changed, and he didn't know how General Su would deal with the current matter.
The prince's birthday banquet ended in an extraordinary sensation and farce, the prince and General Su returned to the general's mansion to get people, everyone should have dispersed, and entered the palace for a trip, although his daughter did not achieve the goal, but it was no longer boring after tea and dinner.
Mu Xiyue is even more Mu Xiyan's identity is now on the table as a last resort, and now there is no need to hide her life, Concubine Duan left the two in the Fuhua Palace that night.
When Mu Xiyue and Mo Yichen walked side by side, the thirteenth prince had already returned to his place, the wine glass in his hand was full of wine and he raised his head to drink, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him, until he saw the figures of the two walking by, the cup in his hand suddenly slammed and turned his face.
"Today's matter, maybe I have to say thank you to the thirteenth prince!"
Mu Xiyue glanced down at the Thirteen Princes, her voice was clear, her eyes were clear, even when she met the eyes of the Thirteen Princes, she didn't dodge it in the slightest, but hooked the corners of her lips.
The thirteenth prince was stunned, he didn't expect Mu Xiyue to find out so quickly, listening to her words, the expression on his face stiffened for a moment, and then the one in his hand was handed to the corner of his lips again, and he raised his head and drank it in one gulp, without explaining or answering.
Princess Splendid looked at Mu Xiyue's face that had taken off the upper floor, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but tremble, if it was said that Mu Xiyue was as mediocre as the information found by Xiao Ting in the night, there was nothing worth noting, but looking at her delicate and impeccable face, coupled with her temperament of combining nobility and elegance, her self-esteem was stimulated, and her hands couldn't help clenching her fists.
Mu Xiyan followed Concubine Duan to the Fuhua Palace, Mo Yichen just came back and wanted to stay with Mu Xiyue for a while, so he took her around the palace, bypassing the corner of the corridor, before the two had time to say a few words, they saw Situ Muxue and Song Yuanchun coming over, their faces were stunned, and their steps forward also stopped.
Situ Muxue and Song Yuanchun walked up to Mu Xiyue, their eyes were on her face, so familiar, so unfamiliar, although her face has changed, but she will not change if she finds that kind of temperament from the inside, she is still the person in her heart.
The two looked at Mu Xiyue and didn't speak, Mu Xiyue and Mo Yichen looked at the two and didn't speak, the four of them looked at each other like this, and in the end, Song Yuanchun couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect things to come to this point!"
When a sentence came out, Song Yuanchun looked at Mu Xiyue's face and the expression on her face changed slightly, her heart sank, and she hurriedly explained: "I came here this time, I didn't mean to persuade you, but I had a few words I wanted to tell you." ”
