121: The Death of Guanyue
Chen's mother and daughter are two of these kinds of gloating, and Mrs. Mu is also at the scene, but she is secretly thinking in her heart that when she was married to the prince by Du Guanyue before, she also felt that when Jin Ge was born, what the Taoist priest said was not worth believing at all, and any phoenix life was a lie. And now, Du Guanyue was suddenly snatched away, could it be that these are the arrangements of God? Is the future queen really Mu Jinge? The person the prince loves is Mu Huanyan again, but Mu Jinge gave marriage to the third prince, this Du Guanyue didn't dare to soak in this body at the moment before she became the crown princess, Jin Ge is now the fiancΓ©e of the third prince, but the future is uncertain, Mrs. Mu is also a little confused, she doesn't know which granddaughter can become the crown princess. It's just that no matter who it is, now she has to take care of these two granddaughters, is it hard to guarantee that one day she will become a dragon and phoenix among people?
Mu Huanyan stood there, thinking all the time, who did it?
Prime Minister Du Cheng is in power, even if someone hates him, but he doesn't dare to do it at this time, the person she suspects has always been Ling Mo, when Ling Mo was helped to the scene, Mu Huanyan still couldn't see any expression on his face.
The banquet broke up unhappily.
Today was the day when Ling Mo promised Mu Huanyan to leave the palace, but she didn't immediately decide to leave with Old Madam Mu, she really wanted to know what the result of this matter was, so she continued to stay in the palace.
The emperor was also in a bad mood because of this, and went back to the palace early, and Ling Mo still lived in the side hall, when Mu Huanyan returned to the side hall, Ling Mo looked at her and said, "I'll go and ask my father to play the emperor in a while." Let you leave the palace today. β
"No need, I'm going to take care of you for a few more days."
"Since you like to wait on me so much, hurry up and prepare lunch for me, I'm hungry."
Mu Huanyan went to the imperial dining room to pass the food to Ling Mo, and helped him sit in the seat to eat, and the two did not speak until after eating, Mu Huanyan helped him to lie on the bed, and he told Mu Huanyan a moment before he closed his eyes. I promise I didn't do what I did today.
The devil will believe his words!
Ling Ran couldn't marry Du Guanyue. It is equivalent to missing the backer of Prime Minister Du Cheng and the help of ascending to the throne, except for Ling Mo, Mu Huanyan really can't think of a second person.
Could it be Xiao Xuan? No. No way. Xiao Xuan would not do such a thing. Mu Huanyan quickly shook his head.
Until the evening, Mu Huanyan stood at the door and saw Zhang Xianfeng walking towards the emperor's bedroom. Mu Huanyan wanted to follow and listen, but when she took a step, she was tapped on the shoulder, Mu Huanyan turned around, and it turned out to be Ling Mo.
"You want to scare me to death, walking without a sound?"
"I asked what you wanted to do? Is the emperor's bedroom something you can stand outside and eavesdrop on at will? Beware of losing your head! β
He actually knew Mu Huanyan's thoughts.
"I just want to know who snatched Du Guanyue as soon as possible."
"Come with me."
Ling Mo turned around, and Mu Huanyan immediately followed behind him. He led her into the house, then closed the door, and walked over to a cabinet, and he twisted a chance next to him, and the cabinet moved to reveal a door.
"Where is this?"
"Aren't you trying to eavesdrop?"
Ling Mo went in first, Mu Huanyan followed behind him, and soon, he saw a small window, through that small window, Mu Huanyan saw the emperor sitting there, and Zhang Xianfeng standing in front of him.
"If you go back to the emperor, Du Guanyue has found it."
"Oh, where did you find it, and how's it going?" The emperor's tone seemed very concerned.
Zhang Xianfeng sighed, "I found it in the moat, but when I found it, it turned out that the person had already lost her breath and was floating on the surface of the river, and Prime Minister Du took her body back to Du Mansion." β
"What? He's dead? As soon as the emperor slapped the table, the whole person stood up, obviously he was furious.
Dead, Du Wanyue actually died? Mu Huanyan was so surprised, those people in black obviously just robbed her, if they wanted to kill her, they could kill her on the spot, how to kill people after snatching them away, this is really weird.
However, this news can completely rule out that Du Guanyue has any favorite person to rob her relatives, this is a murder case.
"Can I ask for an autopsy? Why did he die? β
Zhang Xianfeng said: "Prime Minister Du refused to let her do an autopsy, but when she found Miss Du, she was undressed and seemed to have been insulted. β
Rape and murder! Oh, my God? Who is so vicious, even if he kills people, he still wants to do such a thing to her, how much this person should hate Du Guanyue to do such a thing.
"Heartbroken, really heartbroken......" the emperor was angry.
He was silent for a while, and then said to Zhang Xianxian: "Were there many people who saw her at that time? β
"Not much, it's a few henchmen under the minister, who fished people up and notified Prime Minister Du Cheng."
"In this case, for the sake of the reputation of the prince and the reputation of the Du family, this matter must not be spread, and it is claimed to the outside world that Miss Du was so ashamed that she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river after being robbed of someone, but she must continue to investigate and find the murderer."
"Yes."
"Let's go down."
After listening to these conversations, Ling Mo and Mu Huanyan walked out of the secret passage, she originally wanted to ask Ling Mo how he knew about that secret passage, but she was shocked by the fact that Du Wanyue was thrown into the river after being insulted.
Although she had no friendship with Du Guanyue, when she learned the cause of her death, Mu Huanyan still felt a little unhappy in her heart, after all, she was a woman and couldn't marry her beloved man, but she still had to suffer such a blow, she was really a pitiful person.
When the news of Du Wanyue's death reached Queen Du, she almost fainted, and Mama Zhou helped her and said anxiously: "The queen wants to mourn." β
"Wanyue is still so young, and she has encountered an accident, and this palace is really sad!" What she was really sad about was that the prince was not able to marry Du Guanyue smoothly.
Queen Du was sad for a while, and finally stood up, "This palace is going to see the emperor, and this palace can't let Guan Yue's death be unknown!" β
When Empress Du arrived at the emperor's bedroom, Ling Ran had already walked to the door with a sad face.
"Prince!"
Ling Ran looked back and saw Queen Du, his eyes were bloodshot, his hair was messy, the whole person looked very lost, and he blamed himself very much for Du Wanyue's death.
"The Queen Mother."
Now that Du Guanyue is dead, Queen Du thought that he was so resistant to marrying her before, and she was still a little angry with Ling Mo in her heart, but seeing his decadent appearance, Queen Du was distressed, her own son was always her own son, how could a mother not love her son.
"It's all wrong with Erchen, it was Erchen who indirectly killed her, if Erchen could care about her, maybe this wouldn't have happened to her."
"Prince, this matter is not something you can control, it must have been deliberately done, and it had been arranged a long time ago, otherwise it would not have been possible to kill someone so lightly at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and also kill the future crown princess."
When the emperor heard the voices of Du Guanyue and the crown prince, he walked out of the palace with grief on his face.
"Your Majesty."
"Father."
"If you come, come into the temple and speak."
The three of them went together into the temple.
Empress Du shed a few tears and said: "Your Majesty, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, Guan Yue's death is not so simple, someone must be deliberately trying to sabotage this family affair." β
"I have also thought about this problem, and have ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, but Prime Minister Du Cheng refused to let her do an autopsy, and it is difficult to identify the cause of her death."
Queen Du frowned, "Ordinary people are reluctant to have their relatives' bodies examined, not to mention that Wanyue is still a daughter, and Prime Minister Du's move is also human." β
The emperor said: "If you don't investigate, this will become a headless case, how can you find the murderer?" Prince, what do you think of this? β
Ling Ran's heart was already in a mess, and he didn't have the strength to think at all, he shook his head, grief-stricken.
Queen Du hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the prince is sad now, don't embarrass her, isn't the county lord of Heyue a very capable person, she happens to be in the palace now, can you ask her to come and ask." "Since Prime Minister Du Cheng refused to conduct an autopsy, the emperor said that this would become a headless case, it would be better to take La Mu Huanyan into the water by the way, if she couldn't find out about it, the emperor would definitely punish him heavily, and it would be good to break the prince's thoughts about her.
Speaking of Mu Huanyan, Ling Ran said: "Mother, she is just a woman, how can she have the ability to investigate cases, this matter should be left to Dali Temple." β
But the emperor said: "The prince said this, but he belittled the county lord, and I also think that she has some ability, so let her investigate the case together." Gonggong Chen, go to the side hall to announce the lord of Heyue County. β
"Yes."
When Gonggong Chen went to the side hall to announce her admiration, she was waiting for Ling Mo to drink medicine, since she was willing to stay in the palace, Ling Mo should enjoy her care for a few more days, and when she took medicine, she was always asked to serve in person.
"The slave to the third prince, and the lord of Heyue County, please say goodbye."
Ling Mo said: "Grandpa Chen doesn't need to be polite. β
Mu Huanyan put down the medicine bowl and was about to take it out, Gonggong Chen said, "County Lord, please stay." β
"What?"
"The emperor announced that you should pass."
Mu Huanyan looked at Gonggong Chen and then at Ling Mo, and Ling Mo said, "Gonggong Chen, I don't know what important things my father is looking for the county lord?" β
Gonggong Chen said with a smile: "The emperor said that the county lord is a capable person, and wants her to help investigate the cause of Miss Du's death." β
When Ling Mo heard this, he couldn't help but gloat at Mu Huanyan, this hot potato, how to pick up her, the famous county lord of Heyue in Kyoto?
However, Ling Mo's expression quickly changed, and he asked suspiciously, "Miss Du's cause of death?" Miss Du, what's wrong with her? β
Gonggong Chen sighed and said, "After Miss Du was snatched away, those people actually killed her, alas, don't say it, the county lord please hurry, don't let the emperor wait too long." β
Mu Huanyan really wanted to know the cause of Du Guanyue's death, but when Ling Mo heard that the emperor was going to investigate this matter, he didn't seem to be nervous at all, could it be that this matter really had nothing to do with him? Since the emperor wants her to check, then she will check it openly, and she doesn't believe that those people have left no clues. (To be continued......)
