127: Rescue the Prince
"This matter has nothing to do with her, don't talk about her like that." Ling Ran was very sad when he heard the eldest princess scolding Huanyan.
"At this time, you are still protecting her, and you don't know what you're thinking, if you can't find the real murderer, you will be on this black cauldron. No, I have to go to see my father, I want to sue my father, and let my father send someone to investigate this case again, Mu Huanyan is just a woman, it's not worth believing, what kind of bullshit case she solved, it just made Princess Ben angry. β
"Sister Huang, this matter is over, don't make trouble, I killed Du Wanyue."
Hearing this, the eldest princess was startled, she couldn't believe her ears, and grabbed Ling Ran's arm, "You say it again." β
"Du Guanyue was killed by me, Mu Huanyan is very powerful, she solved the case so quickly, she really didn't disappoint me." As he spoke, Ling Ran laughed.
The eldest princess looked very distressed, she shook her head, and said, "Impossible, of course, I know best what kind of person you are, and you absolutely disdain to do such a thing." β
"The love is deep, the person I like is Huan Yan, but my father wants me to marry Du Guanyue, I don't want to marry her, let alone live up to Huan Yan, so I sent someone to snatch her away, and then killed, but I never thought that she was holding a piece of cloth in her hand. Sister Huang, this time I missed, I didn't tell SΓΉ Huanyan, she didn't know the truth, her father asked her to investigate the case, she had to investigate, maybe she didn't think that the real murderer was me, so she would be relieved and bold to investigate, but she didn't expect that the murderer was really me. Now that the matter has been revealed, I will admit how my father wants to punish me. In this life, I will definitely live up to Huanyan, I want to leave my wife to her, so Sister Huang, you must not blame Huanyan, she is the only person I care about. Ling Ran looked at the eldest princess wistfully.
"No, I don't believe it, I definitely won't believe it, but you must not say that in front of your father. I'll go to the queen mother. Let the queen mother find a way to beg her father together. β
"Imperial Sister, Imperial Sister......" Ling Ran shouted, but it was useless, the eldest princess had already hurriedly walked out. She went straight to Jiaofang Palace to find Queen Du.
"The Queen Mother. Queen mother. She shouted a few times as soon as she entered. At this time, a palace maid walked out. said: "Eldest princess, the queen mother went to see the emperor, and she hasn't come back yet." β
The eldest princess hurried to the emperor's bedroom. Before he arrived, he saw Queen Du kneeling in front of the palace.
"The Queen Mother." The eldest princess walked up, and Queen Du's forehead was sweating, tears were flowing down, and her makeup was obviously spent.
"Ning'er, you're here......" Ning'er is the eldest princess's maiden name, and Queen Du called her name, her voice choked up.
"Queen Mother, why are you kneeling here, let's go in to see the Emperor."
"Your father and the emperor refuse to see the palace now, and the palace can only kneel here and wait for him to summon him."
The eldest princess gritted her teeth and said, "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters go to beg their father." The eldest princess walked to the door and patted the door of the palace vigorously, "Father, father, son asks to see ......"
Hearing the voice of the eldest princess, the emperor threw the book in his hand on the table and said, "You go out and tell her, rest when I am tired, and let her not disturb me." β
"Yes."
The door creaked open, Queen Du and the eldest princess were very surprised, seeing Gonggong Chen, thinking that the emperor must be summoning her.
Gonggong Chen said: "Eldest princess, the emperor is resting, if you make such noise like this, you wake up the emperor, Long Yan is furious, and it will be even more troublesome." Eldest princess, queen mother, you go back first, and come back later. β
"No, this princess wants to see my father." The eldest princess didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, pushed away Gonggong Chen, and rushed in.
Queen Du has the identity of the queen there, so she naturally has to pay attention to her demeanor, so she has to continue to kneel on the ground.
"Father."
Seeing the eldest princess rushing in, the emperor's expression was not very good, and he was obviously very angry, "Ning'er, do you still look like a princess?" What kind of system is it that yells and screams? β
"Isn't my father resting?"
"You're making such a noise, how can I rest?"
The eldest princess walked up to the emperor, lay down on the opposite side of his table, looked directly at him, and said, "Father, the prince's affairs ......"
"Don't mention the prince's affairs, I don't want to hear it now."
"Father." The eldest princess curled her mouth aggrievedly.
"Come on, send the eldest princess home." The eldest princess was escorted out of the door, and Queen Du hurriedly greeted her.
"Ning'er, what's wrong?" Queen Du has always been worried, and now that the eldest princess has also been invited out, she is even more worried.
"Queen Mother, my father can't listen to a word now, my father in the past was not like this, what he loved the most was the prince, but now he is so ruthless, Queen Mother, what can the prince do?"
"This palace will never let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fall lightly!" Queen Du gritted her teeth, the crown prince is her life's work, she has been trapped in the harem all her life, losing herself, in order to one day the prince can ascend to the throne, she will never allow any mistakes.
At night, Queen Du changed into a grandmother's dress, took her phoenix seal, went out of the palace, and went straight to Mufu.
Mu Huanyan learned that Queen Du was coming, and immediately invited her to Lanxingju, Queen Du saw her, her face was angry, Mu Huanyan knew what she meant by coming here.
"The courtiers have seen the queen's mother."
"Mu Huanyan, if the palace has something to say, the prince is now encountering this kind of predicament, it is you who lead the way, you are very smart, the palace believes that you will have a way to clear the crown prince's guilt, if you can't think of a way, then the moment the prince abolishes it, it is your death period, and the palace will do what it says!"
"Queen Mother, there is a ...... way"
"What's the solution, say it quickly." At this moment, no one wanted to save the prince more than Queen Du, she was eager to know the answer, Mu Huanyan also thought about it all day, before she thought of this method, she was going to sue the eldest princess, but Queen Du had already come uninvited, and directly sued Queen Du, so that this problem could be solved faster.
Mu Huanyan said calmly: "Then it depends on whether the queen wants to protect the prince or the prime minister?" β
Why do you say that? What does it have to do with Prime Minister Du Cheng, Prime Minister Du Cheng is the closest brother of the palace, and the palace doesn't want him to have any accidents. β
"If the queen mother is reluctant to Du Cheng, then she can only sacrifice the prince."
"You sue SΓΉ Bengong first, what can you do?"
Mu Huanyan told Queen Du word by word about her own method, this method can indeed save the prince, but it has to sacrifice Prime Minister Du, Queen Du still can't bear it, she can be the queen, relying on the power of the Du family, if Prime Minister Du has no one, then her strong backing will be gone.
"Is there no other way than that?"
Mu Huanyan shook his head, "Queen Mother, the courtiers know that in this way, the power of the prince's side will indeed be weakened a lot, but compared to losing the position of the prince, this is undoubtedly the best way, as the saying goes, the green mountains left are not afraid of no firewood, if the prince one day ascends to the throne, the power of the Du family will be the same as before." β
Under such a trade-off, although Queen Du was very sad, she had to do it for the sake of the crown prince.
"Mu Huanyan, even if you save the prince this time, but the mother's family in this palace will definitely suffer a heavy blow, do you think this palace should hate you?"
"Hate! However, the courtiers have to say something, this time, someone must have deliberately framed the prince, and the queen mother and His Royal Highness the prince need to be vigilant. β
"Do you know who's behind it?" Empress Du asked.
Mu Huanyan had been to Ling Mo, and after coming back, he kept thinking back to what Ling Mo said, especially the last sentence, Mu Huanyan, since this matter has already had a result, you don't have to investigate anything, even if you want to find it, you can't find it, for the sake of my appreciation for you, I can only remind you, stop it, otherwise it will affect yourself. This sentence made Mu Huanyan guess something, but she didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't dare to tell anyone, because it was just her guess.
"Queen Mother, the courtiers really don't know who did it, but the courtiers have a strong premonition that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this."
"Let's not discuss this issue for now, the palace still has to go to Du Mansion now, it is important to save the prince now, and let's talk about it later."
Queen Du went to Du Mansion, at present, Du Mansion is still in a gloomy, first Wan Yue was killed for no reason, and now the crown prince is implicated, Prime Minister Du Cheng has been in the court for many years, but he can't accept this result.
When he saw Queen Du, Prime Minister Du immediately knelt and kowtowed.
Queen Du changed her previous lofty posture and said kindly: "Brother, why do you need to make this big gift with me, get up quickly." She didn't use the word "Bengong", she wanted to use the identity of her relatives to talk to Prime Minister Du Cheng.
"The queen's late night visit must have been for the prince's business, alas, the minister didn't expect that it would be such a result."
"Brother, there was an accident in Guanyue, and I am also very sad, however, the prince is also locked up in the prison now, I am worried, brother, I have something to ask for, and please be able to agree."
After Queen Du finished speaking, she knelt on the ground, and Prime Minister Du Cheng was so frightened that she also knelt down.
"Queen Mother, if you have something to say, you must not do this."
Queen Du's tears flowed out at once, "Brother, for the sake of the prince, I also have to do it, brother, ......" Queen Du relayed Mu Huanyan's method of telling him to Prime Minister Du. It's just that she didn't tell Prime Minister Du that it was the method that Mu Huanyan thought of, and Prime Minister Du was very surprised when he heard Queen Du's arrangement, but the queen came in person, it must have been carefully considered, and he had to agree even if he didn't agree.
"Brother, I know it's embarrassing for you, but if there is no prince, our Du family will have no future ......" (to be continued......)
