159. Chapter 158
The cold sword body was against the slightly trembling skin, and the murderous aura was almost about to penetrate into her seven orifices, Tian Jieyu's tears condensed in her eyes, and she looked at the emperor like a pleading, but only got a look of indifference.
"The Emperor...... The emperor is really not a concubine. Tian Jieyu instantly recalled the situation after she entered the palace, her grade was not high, and the emperor was just a novelty, she was very jealous of everyone, and everyone felt inferior to her, and over time, the jealousy and resentment in her heart formed a sharp blade, and she always secretly wanted to stretch out inadvertently. She thought that her father and brother had been stained with the light of the king of the county, and she would no longer have to envy others if she became Jieyu, and the emperor could see her good again, but in the end, she was still a dispensable joke.
"You have to be clear, if you don't say it, what will happen to you?" The emperor waved away the guards around him with his hand, and he knew that Mo Li had a soft sword hidden at his waist.
Tian Jieyu opened her mouth, but thinking of her mother and younger brother who were taken by her father to the fiefdom of King Guangjun, she closed her mouth again and shook her head.
"The concubine really doesn't know."
"It's okay, I'll find you if I kill you." As soon as Mo Li's hand was forced, the blade of the sword cut a bloody mark on Tian Jieyu's neck.
Tian Jieyu almost stopped breathing in fright, and she looked straight at the emperor with pleading eyes.
It's a pity that the emperor didn't say anything to stop it, but persuaded him: "If you know, you should say it, otherwise whether it is you, your family, or the innocent palace maids and eunuchs in your palace, they will be affected." If it is light, it will be weighted...... Die! β
"Be merciful under the sword! Be merciful under the sword! Just when Tian Jieyu seemed to be ready to accept her fate and close her eyes, the palace maid who had been following her heard the emperor's words, she couldn't hold back anymore, she cried and knelt on the ground and begged: "Jieyu Niangniang, just say it, why are you so troubled?" β
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tian Jieyu looked at the palace maid who was almost dependent on her in disbelief and said.
"Your Majesty, this is all done by the king of Guangjun to force my mother, and there is no way for my mother, if you don't do it, so many people in my mother's family are afraid that it will be ...... What the slave said was true. The palace maid didn't dare to look at Tian Jieyu's eyes, so she could only lie on the ground and cry.
"Shut up! Shut up! I treat you well on weekdays, why do you want to harm me, why do you want to hurt me! Tian Jieyu twisted her body, she couldn't care about the blood marks left on her neck by the sword, if someone hadn't pressed her, she would have almost rushed over to tear up the henchman on the ground.
The palace maid retreated in fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Mother...... Empress...... The pomegranate girl...... But you threw the slave and the maid into the well. β
"You!" Tian Jieyu shouted in a panic and anger: "Who the hell did you send to want to harm me!" β
The imperial study was noisy and lively, and after a while, the people who searched Tian Jieyu's bedroom also returned, and one of the sachets embroidered with butterflies was presented.
Mo Liang snatched the sachet, and touched the embroidery on the sachet in a daze, the embroiderer was still not the best, but it was very solid, and the butterfly was not very smart, but this was the pattern he specially painted for her not long ago.
"You also said that the acacia was not taken away by you, this is obviously her sachet!" Seeing this, Li Yunluo angrily walked over and grabbed Tian Jieyu and said, "If you don't say it again, just cut you down!" β
"No...... No...... Tian Jieyu hugged her head and cried.
"Do you think your mother is still alive?" Mo Liang suddenly spoke.
Tian Jieyu was stunned on the spot, turned around and asked viciously: "Don't you want to lie to me!" β
"You've been bullying Acacia before, so I'm trying to get some news about your family. Your father went to the fiefdom of the king of Guangjun, and it was not long before your mother was imprisoned by him in the name of being seriously ill, and after a while, your father would marry the woman given by the king of Guangjun as a continuation. Otherwise...... Do you think King Guangjun will believe you? Mo Liang said with a sneer.
"Impossible! No, you lied to me, King Guangjun obviously promised me, as long as I was good...... He ......" Tian Jieyu was stunned for a moment, and then bit her lip out of the blood and said, "You want to cheat me?" β
"Am I lying to you, you know in your heart that instead of carrying everything and causing your mother to die, it is better to tell everything and maybe save your brother's life." Mo Li stuffed the sachet into his arms and said.
Tian Jieyu lowered her head blankly, looking at the blood stains on her hands and clothes because of the sword blade cut by Mo Li, she first laughed, then cried and laughed for a while, and then said slowly: "I didn't lie to you, the county lord of Fuqing really wasn't taken away by me." Be! The king of Guangjun wants to take away the lord of Fuqing, and he also hopes that I can create a chance, but I am jealous of the appearance of the lord of Fuqing and her good luck, so I am not close to her and have no chance.
I was going to find a day when there was no one in the Imperial Garden, and secretly take her away from mea, but I never had a chance. I also made a negotiation with the lady of the palace who was close to me, and asked her to find an opportunity to throw the useless pomegranate into the well in the future. But this is all an assumption, and it is all my expectation, but I really didn't get this person, and I want to know who took her captive. β
"Then why did Pomegranate see the waist card of the palace maid next to you?" Li Yunluo didn't believe it.
"How do I know, there are too many people who want to harm me, and they blame me for being too naΓ―ve, maybe they just want me to be a shield, in fact, the people of King Guangjun have already prepared in private, maybe everyone is out of Kyoto now." Tian Jieyu knew that her life was hopeless, so she simply broke the jar and sneered: "The huge Chen Kingdom, the huge palace, even the county lord can let people sneak out, hahahaha...... Will it be the emperor next time? β
"Shut up! Gagged her and sent her to a cell to wait for her to be released. The emperor was originally very calm, but when Tian Jieyu said this, the fears that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly churned, making him not want to face this woman again.
"Your Majesty!" Tian Jieyu was set up, and she was about to be gagged, she struggled to stare at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine only asks for one sentence, just one sentence!" Emperor...... Has the emperor ever liked a concubine? β
The emperor just watched coldly at her being gagged and dragged out, even if he didn't say anything, Tian Jieyu already knew the answer.
"Bring this palace maid down, and I think we can get the news we want." Li Yunluo pointed to the big palace maid on the ground who seemed to be still afraid.
The two palace maids walked over and tried to erect the palace maid, but found that her whole body was weak and she had no strength, and when she saw her face pale and foaming at the mouth, she turned out to be a dead figure.
The imperial doctor happened to be beside him, came over and touched his pulse and said, "I'm actually scared to death, and my gall is broken." β
"Such a useless thing?" Li Yunluo said in frustration: "Is Tian Jieyu lying, or is someone really trying to frame her?" What about the rest of the people in that temple? Don't you know what's going on? β
The eunuch who searched outside said: "Tian Jieyu only trusts this one palace maid, so the rest of the people don't know much about them. β
"If she wants to get the lovesickness out, she will definitely accept it, and some of those people must be lying." Mo Liang walked up to the dead palace maid and said, "You must not let him just mess around." β
Stretched out his hand and looked at the dead palace maid's hand, and then put his nose on the placket of the deceased's clothes, and the rest of the people felt that Mo Liang was very strange, and the eunuchs hurriedly took the body of the big palace maid out.
"What can I do?" Li Yunluo couldn't sit still and walked out: "I'll go to her bedroom to find it again." β
As soon as she walked to the door, she saw a group of people coming from a distance, and waited for people to approach her before she was overjoyed: "Uncle Xiao Huang is here!" β
The emperor walked out of the imperial study together, and saw Li Jianshen, the prince of Prince Bao, taking Zhuang Jinyuan and Meng Huoran up the steps.
As soon as Li Yunluo saw Meng Huoran, she knew that it must be useless to block it, so Li Jianshen, who was tired, went to pick it up in person.
Mo Liang was obviously still in a daze in the house before, but the next moment he saw Li Jianshen, he immediately jumped down the steps and grabbed Li Jianshen and said, "I know who took away Acacia, you have to help me!" β
The emperor and Li Jianshen were taken aback, and Li Yunluo even asked, "Is it really Tian Jieyu?" Hasn't she already been arrested? I didn't find Acacia in the dormitory. β
"She's just a faΓ§ade." Mo Liang pulled Li Jianshen and walked in the direction of the harem, although foreign men are not allowed to enter the harem, but with Li Jianshen as a shield, it will always make those old guys shut up.
"Then let's go with us." The emperor beckoned, took a number of guards, and went to the harem.
At this moment, the night is deep, but no one in the harem dares to sleep, everyone is waiting for a result, either Tian Jieyu is lying down, or finding other murderers, everyone is afraid of being framed, and they are even more vigilant not to become someone else's stepping stone in the next moment.
Mo Liang went farther and farther, and the people who followed him became more and more confused, and when he bypassed the Queen Mother's Cishou Palace, the emperor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the harem was so big, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's poor health today, he sent someone to stare at it secretly, and he wouldn't have been so smooth. Fortunately, Mo Liang is not looking for the Queen Mother.
"Mo Li, who are you looking for?" Meng Huoran walked up to Mo Li's side worriedly and asked.
Mo Liang pressed the sachet through his clothes and said, "I'll know soon." β
After rounding a few more palaces, Mo Li finally slowed down and pulled out the soft sword from his waist.
"Impossible! How could it be here? Li Yunluo covered her mouth and whispered.
As soon as the emperor looked up, the familiar gate made him look at Mo Li suspiciously.
"What's wrong? Why are you all here? Has the lord of Fuqing found it? The door was opened, and Aunt Lan ran out anxiously from inside and said, "Niangniang still knows, she is anxious, and she is asking the slave to go over and ask for news." β
"Are you sure?" The emperor turned his head sideways and asked Mo Li.
Mo Liang nodded.
"Hold all the people in the temple and search them!"
