Chapter 265: The Great Disaster (Part 1)
Just as the six princes left the Han family and re-entered the palace, Mo Li and Han Jiangxue were busy working on their little reclaimed land in the garden of the other courtyard.
Originally, the garden would have been turned into a pit here and there by Han Jiangxue, and the formation looked really big, but after tossing for so long, it was estimated that only Han Jiangxue could see what she wanted to make this piece of land look like.
There was dirt on the tip of her nose, and there were mud marks on her forehead that Mo Li deliberately smeared in the name of wiping sweat, but instead of making her feel unhappy, it was also an indescribable pleasure.
In fact, all the "physical work" was undertaken by Mo Li, and Han Jiangxue was more often directing Mo Li to do this and that, and occasionally had to help Mo Li so that Mo Li had to rework.
But whether it's right or wrong, Mo Li doesn't say a word and does what he is told, so that the girl always thinks of doing all the rough work by herself. Of course, he was reluctant to let Han Jiangxue really do those jobs like turning over the soil and carrying mud, and besides, this kind of happiness directed by his beloved was only something he could experience.
I don't know how long it took to work, Han Jiangxue always brought out the first decent piece of land, although it was only the size of a palm, but finally produced some results.
Afraid that Han Jiangxue would be too tired, Mo Li pulled her to wash her hands, wiped her face clean, and sat in the pavilion next to her to drink some tea and eat some snacks to rest.
When the two were discussing what to plant in this first piece of land, they saw Dong Ling hurriedly enter the garden.
"Childe, eldest lady, the latest news has come out of the palace. It was said that the suspect who murdered the seventeenth prince had been found, and the emperor asked the queen to interrogate the suspect with the six princes, and it was said that the evidence was relatively sufficient. β
Dong Ling quickly reported to Mo Li and Han Jiang Xueyu. It's just that the tone of voice was a little weird when he spoke, but when he glanced at Han Jiangxue, it was not as usual, and he hurriedly took his gaze back, as if he didn't dare to look more.
Dong Ling's weirdness, Han Jiangxue was aware of it, and what made her feel even more strange was why such a thing as the trial of a suspect would let the queen and the six princes, two people with such high status but completely incompatible, go to the trial together.
"Dongling. Do you know who the suspect is? Han Jiangxue had some bad premonitions in her heart, so she asked.
"Yes...... Is it ......" Dongling hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "The news said." It's Concubine Luo! β
"What? How is this possible! As soon as she heard that it was Luo Qi'er, Han Jiangxue immediately subconsciously stood up: "How could it be her, what the hell is going on." β
"Xue'er, don't worry." Mo Li saw this. Immediately, he got up and grabbed Han Jiangxue: "It is estimated that something big is going to happen." Wait a minute, let me think about it! β
Mo Li's expression was unprecedentedly severe, he seemed to realize something, and held Han Jiangxue's hand tightly, but he immediately fell into deep thought.
Although Han Jiangxue was anxious, she was quickly pulled back to her senses by Mo Li's voice of "something big is going to happen", but she immediately quieted down for a while, although she looked at Mo Li very anxiously, but she just waited and did not urge.
She knew that Mo Li must have thought of something particularly important. So naturally he didn't bother, and Dongling on the side also didn't feel angry when he saw this. For fear that the slightest noise might affect the most important thoughts of his father-in-law.
After a while, Mo Li didn't rush to ask about Luo Qi'er, but directly instructed Dong Ling: "Dong Ling, you take my token now and immediately take people to Luo Wang's Mansion and tell them that the Luo family is about to be in trouble!" In any case, be sure to secretly send King Luo and the important family members in the royal palace out of the capital immediately and send them to a safe place to settle down! The sooner the better, otherwise if it's too late, I'm afraid that Luowangfu will be destroyed! β
Time was pressing, and the matter was extremely urgent, Dongling naturally didn't linger at all when he saw this, and immediately took the order and left quickly.
And Mo Li soon summoned the north wind again, and ordered him to immediately arrange for others to secretly pay attention to the situation of several other families, once there is any emergency, there is no need to ask in advance, everything must be dealt with urgently, and life must be the first priority.
After the north wind left, Mo Li summoned several other people again, and asked them to inform the private soldiers and horses of the Mowang Mansion hidden in several places near the capital to be ready to listen to the order at any time, and the situation in the palace also sent more manpower, and immediately reported the news.
It wasn't until Mo Li had arranged everything that he pulled Han Jiangxue, who had been silent but worried, to sit down again.
"Xue'er, it seems that the emperor's purge plan is about to start! Not only Luo Qi'er, but the entire Luo family is afraid that there will be a catastrophe this time. Mo Li didn't say too many words of relief, but analyzed the situation in front of her most objectively: "Luo Qi'er is a fuse of this elimination plan, and the Luo family will become the first of the emperor's bloodbath of the three kings and four families!" Because of the relationship between the seventeen princes, things came very suddenly, and I am afraid that the loss will be huge! β
Han Jiangxue had already heard it from Mo Li's various arrangements and instructions just now, especially the sentence "The Luo family will be destroyed" made her realize what was going to happen.
"You can't be wrong, in my opinion, the emperor is really crazy!" Han Jiangxue frowned and said: "The death of the seventeenth prince is absolutely impossible to have anything to do with Qi'er, it doesn't make much sense who is secretly harming Qi'er, the key is that for the emperor, whether it was Qi'er or not, in short, it is the best excuse to reach out to the Luo family!" β
Han Jiangxue was very worried about Luo Qi'er's situation, no more than other places in the palace, not to say that she could do whatever she wanted: "Mo Li, Qi'er is only afraid that this time it will be more than lucky, can we think of a way to see if we can save her?" β
She knew that this request was very difficult, and now the entire Luo family was afraid that there would be a catastrophe, and Luo Qi'er's life would naturally bear the brunt. However, no matter how difficult it was, she couldn't watch Qi'er die because of it.
Of course, Mo Li understood Han Jiangxue's mood, but saving Luo Qi'er was better than notifying the other personnel of Luo Wang's Mansion to evacuate in advance, and according to the current situation, it was impossible to get Luo Qi'er out of the palace.
"Xue'er, we'll try our best to find a way to do this!" Mo Li said: "At present, Luo Qi'er's situation is very bad, but it will not be in danger of her life for a while, don't worry too much, I will let the palace insiders find an opportunity to do their best!" β
This kind of reply is already the biggest guarantee, Mo Li has never been the kind of person who is exaggerated, he will say a few points when he has a few points, and when he gets it, he will add some unnecessary disappointment and disparity to Jiang Xue.
Han Jiangxue also knew that for the time being, this matter could only be watched while walking, and there was no particularly good way, so she nodded and didn't say anything more.
After a pillar of incense, the palace once again sent back the latest information, Luo Qi'er has now been detained and guarded, and the queen and the six princes are interrogating Luo Qi'er.
The interrogation did not last too long, but it was at Luo Qi'er's disadvantage, and the queen even wanted to use the punishment, but the six princes felt that it was inappropriate, and then they did not directly punish him, but the queen's attitude towards Luo Qi'er was extremely obvious.
Not only that, but the spies have found out just now that the testimony is a witness who secretly killed the seventeenth prince by Luo Qi'er's henchmen, and on the surface she is just an ordinary palace maid, who seems to have little to do with the palaces, but in fact, the so-called witness has been secretly obeying the queen's orders.
Things seem to have become clearer, no matter who committed the death of the seventeenth prince, but the queen is obviously using this incident to eradicate dissidents in the palace. Therefore, Luo Qier was handed over to the emperor for trial, and the final result can be imagined.
And this time, the emperor did not refute the queen's actions, but gave the matter to the queen with full authority, which is also very obvious.
This time, Han Jiangxue didn't say anything more, but fell into silence, and Mo Li just waved his hand first when he saw this, signaling to continue to inquire about the latest news.
Next, in just two hours, the spies sent back the latest news several times in a row, but the situation did not change much, and it was more and more unfavorable to Luo Qi'er as before.
The last intelligence appeared, the interrogation of Luo Qier had ended, Luo Qier was imprisoned by the guide guards, and the queen and the six princes went to the imperial study together to return to the emperor.
What was said in the imperial study was impossible to hear on this floor, but it seemed that things would soon take a major turn, and an even worse one.
didn't wait for any new information to be sent from the imperial study, but Dongling came back.
"How's the situation in the Luo Palace?" Han Jiangxue's heart was a little confused, and when she saw Dongling coming back, she immediately asked.
"Miss, childe, subordinates are not doing well!" Dong Ling quickly said: "The subordinates have made all the intentions of the prince clear to Lord Luo, but Lord Luo refuses to leave King Luo's mansion. β
"Why, don't they trust your son-in-law's judgment?" Han Jiangxue was a little anxious, if the Luo family didn't believe it, then this matter was really not easy to handle, they couldn't force so many people to be kidnapped.
"That's not it, after his subordinates made the words of the prince, Lord Luo also said that the Luo Mansion was about to come in a catastrophe. It's just that the prince said that the more times like this, the more he can't leave, otherwise, none of the Luo Wangfu will be able to leave, so his subordinates can only order someone to escort some other important family members of the Luo Wangfu out of the capital. β
Dongling said: "Prince Luo refused to leave, and Princess Luo also insisted on not leaving, saying that she wanted to stay and live and die with the palace, and said that Concubine Luo in the palace would not be too lonely!" (To be continued......)
