"Really?" The emperor asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chu Lingxiao nodded and said, "Yes, a total of more than twenty assassins infiltrated yesterday, but the younger brother only caught one alive. , and the rest of them bit their tongues and committed suicide. ”
"What about the thief?" The emperor asked in a calm tone.
"Still in custody." Chu Lingxiao opened his mouth and said.
The emperor nodded and said to Gonggong Mu: "Let Liu Qing take someone to the Rui Wangfu to bring the assassin and hand him over to the Criminal Department for interrogation." ”
"Yes." Father-in-law Mu nodded and withdrew.
The emperor walked down and helped Chu Lingxiao up and said, "Lingxiao, Murong Duan is the general of Zhenguo, are you really sure that Miss Murong Er did it?" ”
"What the thief said should be true." Chu Lingxiao frowned and said.
"He Murong Mansion is really so bold that he actually committed murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven Rui Wangfu, Mu De, quickly go and summon Second Miss Murong into the palace." The emperor spoke.
Chu Lingxiao nodded, thinking of yesterday's incident, he was afraid for a while, if he hadn't returned home in time, he was afraid that Jing'er would really have two lives.
"Alright, let's play a game of chess with me." The emperor said with a smile.
"Okay." Chu Lingxiao sat opposite with a smile, holding a white child in his hand.
Jade was just about to enter the door with chicken soup, when she ran into Coral in a panic, and hurriedly stopped her and asked, "The old lady is taking a nap, why are you so flustered?" ”
"Something is wrong, Gonggong Mu is here, saying that our second lady murdered Princess Rui, and now she is here." Coral spoke.
"What?" Jade was also taken aback when she heard this.
Listening to the voices of the two, Mama Sun lifted the curtain and walked out, and said with a straight face: "The old lady is still sleeping, are there any rules for you to make noise?" ”
"Grandma Sun, Grandpa Mu is here to ask for someone." Coral hurriedly spoke.
"Grandpa Mu?" Grandma Sun frowned and pondered for a moment, then said to Sango: "You go to the front hall now to keep an eye on, and inform me immediately if there is anything, Jade, you go to the eldest master and ask him to go to the front hall quickly." ”
"Yes."
"Yes."
Watching the two maids leave, Grandma Sun immediately opened the curtain and walked in, looked at the sleeping old lady, stepped forward and called softly: "Old lady, old lady, something happened." ”
"What time is it?" The old lady frowned and opened her eyes and asked.
"Old lady, Gonggong Mu is here, saying that he came to bring the second lady into the palace by the emperor's order, you see?" Grandma Sun said.
The old lady was full of cleverness, stood up and said, "What the hell is going on, tell me carefully." ”
While sorting out the old lady's clothes, Mama Sun explained the ins and outs of what happened just now, and immediately asked, "Old lady, do you want to invite the second lady out?" ”
"Go and bring her over, will it be possible for the general to bury her for the troubles she broke out?" The old lady said angrily, she really didn't let herself worry about it.
"Yes, the old slave will let Qiyu invite the second miss." Grandma Sun said.
The old lady sighed and nodded and said, "Well, let's go to the front hall first, I don't know how the boss and Yu'er handled it." ”
"Don't be impatient, old lady, just go and see, don't be angry." Mama Sun said hurriedly.
"I don't know if Father-in-law Mu is coming, the old man is not welcome, please forgive me." The old lady walked in slowly, saluted.
Father-in-law Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Old lady." ”
"I don't know if King Rui is coming to the General's Mansion today?" The old lady asked.
"Murong Yue is looking for someone to assassinate Princess Rui, and I came to question her today." Grandpa Mu said with a smile.
"Old lady, the second lady has arrived." Before the old lady could speak, Qiyu walked in, and behind her was Murong Yue, who was being supported.
At this time, Murong Yue's face was a little pale, because she had been kneeling for a long time, her legs were a little weak, and she just leaned on the maid beside her.
She looked at Gonggong Mu, remembered what Chu Yewei said that day in Linjiang Pavilion, and secretly sighed that she was careless, she only remembered the necklace, but she forgot to remind Chu Lingxiao, Mu Jing is fine.
"Father-in-law, I don't know how Princess Rui is?" Murong Yue asked.
"If Princess Rui really had anything to do, the old slave wouldn't be here." Mu Gong said openly, after all, this is the queen's own sister.
In other words, Mu Jing is fine, it's really good, Murong Yue put her heart back in her stomach and said with a smile: "That's the case, father-in-law, please." ”
"Let's go, Second Miss, the emperor is still waiting for the old slave to go back to his life." Grandpa Mu said with a smile.
"I'll go along." Murong Yu said uneasily.
The old lady glanced at Gonggong Mu, touched the ground with her cane and said, "Shut up, the emperor is in charge of your sister's affairs, what are you going to do in the palace?" ”
"It's me who is in a hurry, and I ask Gonggong Mu to forgive me." As soon as Murong Yu was told by the old lady, he reacted instantly and hurriedly spoke.
Father-in-law Mu smiled and said, "Young people are like this, Young Master Murong doesn't have to be like this, the old slave should go back to his life." ”
For half an hour, the white and black sons crisscrossed the chessboard were murderous, and finally Chu Lingxiao took the white son and smiled and said: "The emperor's chess skills have improved a lot, and the courtiers are ashamed of themselves." ”
"Haha, Ling Xiao, I've been lazy lately, I think back then, you even praised your father and emperor for being the second old man in the mountains, but now you can't even compare to me." The emperor smiled and said.
Chu Lingxiao lowered his head and said: "I used to be young and vigorous, but I didn't know that my father and emperor were just raising my love for my younger brother, how could I dare to compare with the old man of the mountain tomb." ”
"Hey, what's wrong with being young and vigorous, I admired your personality the most back then, but now that you're older, I can't get back the way I used to feel." The emperor sighed and said.
"Your Majesty, Liu Qing asks to see you." Mu Gong said openly.
"Let him in." The emperor nodded and said, but Chu Lingxiao on the side frowned fiercely, how could he have a bad premonition.
"Chen Liuqing sees the emperor." Liu Qing handed the sword in his hand to the guards on the side, walked in and knelt on the ground to salute.
The emperor nodded and asked, "Didn't you go to the Rui Wangfu to pick up the crime, what's the matter?" ”
"Emperor Qi, when the minister arrived at the Rui Palace, the prisoner was already dead." Liu Qing said.
"What? Ling Xiao, what's going on here? The emperor frowned and asked.
Chu Lingxiao hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Brother Chen, I don't know. ”
"You...., as soon as the thief dies, how can you let me question Second Miss Murong, and this matter will be over." The emperor said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty?" Chu Lingxiao was stunned, he didn't expect such a big thing, the emperor actually said that if he didn't pursue it, he wouldn't pursue it.
"You go back first." The emperor spoke.
Seeing this, Chu Lingxiao nodded and retreated, but he really wondered in his heart, what was going on, why did this assassin die for no reason.
Recalling yesterday's scene, Chu Lingxiao's expression turned cold, he actually ignored such a detail, there were so many assassins at that time, even he was injured, why Jing'er and she were not damaged at all, I am afraid that these people are specially here to deal with him.
can clearly know the grievances between him and Murong Yue, want to kill him, and can invite the people of the Netherworld Valley so generously, and he can actually kill the assassin silently at this critical time, except for the one in the imperial study, he can't think of anyone at this time.
But according to the emperor's character, he will never be able to do this kind of thing, what he wants is to kill him justifiably, so he will wait until today.
"His Royal Highness King Rui, the Queen Mother invites you to come over." Mama Li saluted and said.
