Chapter 34: The Burning of the Imperial Guards
Mo Jingxuan said righteously: "My concubine is a kind-hearted woman? Aren't you doing this to her a little too much? ”
Mo Ziyuan narrowed his eyes, he saw with his own eyes that his son hated this woman, and when he was unable to resist the decree in the main hall, he was laughed at by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and his heart was unusually happy.
Why is it that when he is interested in this girl now, he suddenly stands up and speaks, is he afraid that he will take her for himself?
Long Yan was displeased, so he said, "Jing Xuan! Although she is your daughter-in-law now, but in front of everyone, poisoning your own sister is a heinous crime, I just didn't figure out the situation, if you don't like her vicious nature, I can take back ......! ”
Before the words fell, Mo Jingxuan stopped the words back and said, "Thank you for your kindness!" The son is very satisfied with this marriage! As for her character, the matter has not yet been decided, so it is a bit too early to draw conclusions! ”
Feng Lingxue didn't know why he suddenly came forward, but she hated people she didn't like to stand up for herself, just like Su Yihan had just proved for herself.
Mo Jingxuan opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "Don't think I'm helping you!" I'm helping myself! ”
Feng Lingxue smiled coldly when she heard this: "You don't have to worry about my affairs, just stand still, I will handle it myself, and I will definitely not let you down!" ”
"I'll wait!"
Mo Jingxuan listened, and replied with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Mo Zhengxi finally couldn't hold back his strength, and opened his mouth to reprimand angrily: "Feng Lingxue! You also have to have evidence that you are spewing blood, this princess has no grievances with you, when will she frame you? ”
Feng Lingxue raised her eyes and looked at Mo Zhengxi in front of her carefully with sharp eyes, and then suddenly smiled: "Ten princesses! Ling Xue was just confused just now, but I didn't expect you to sit down by yourself, although I don't have evidence, but the palace maid sister behind me may know something? ”
The palace maids are already weak-hearted, although it is common in the palace to do this, it is good not to be discovered, once the incident happens, the worst thing is these palace maids.
She knelt on the ground with a "plop" thud, her forehead sweating, and her body trembling so much that she could barely stand upright.
When Mo Ziyuan saw this scene, he suddenly became furious and said, "Say! What the hell is going on? ”
When the palace maid heard the roar, she was forced to take the blame herself.
Feng Lingxiang has been tortured to the point that she is not human, no matter who instigates it, it is herself who suffers.
couldn't control his temper, so he stepped forward and tore and beat the palace maid, and actually dropped a paper bag on the palace maid.
Feng Lingxiang's eyes were glowing red, and when she picked it up, she shouted at everyone: "Look at it!" It turned out that you poisoned it? Hurt me to be embarrassed in the main hall? ”
As soon as the little palace maid saw that the matter was revealed, she knew the princess's temper, and she was lucky to survive, and she would not get any good results, so she simply reached out and stuffed the poison cuff into her mouth and swallowed it, and when she wanted to stop it, the person had already bled to death.
Mo Ziyuan knew what was going on, and when he saw such a result, he opened his mouth and pretended to be angry: "How can this be reasonable! A little palace maid dared to poison Zuo Xiang's daughter, she was really innocent! ”
"Wind and snow! I know that everyone wronged you just now, no matter what grudge she has against you, people have committed suicide in fear of sin, this matter has passed like this, thinking that tonight is a good day for you and Jing Xuan, so don't make a big deal about it. ”
Feng Lingxue's eyes were dim, and she heard that the emperor wanted to protect Mo Zhengxi, so she said, "Ling Xue knows!" has to be forgiving and forgiving, but it just affects his sister! ”
After Mo Ziyuan heard this, his eyes suddenly became serious, "Zuo Xiang!" In any case, Feng Lingxue is your daughter-in-law, how can there be a reason for the concubine to bully her head, today's concubine has suffered, and it can be regarded as a disrespectful punishment for her eldest sister, I know that it is your family matter, go back and educate well! ”
Zuo Xiangfeng Zhenxiong listened and nodded again and again. The old face was red and green, and he glared angrily at the second daughter who didn't understand the rules.
Mo Ziyuan lingered at the banquet for a while, and when he found it boring, he went back to his palace.
The ministers watched the emperor leave, and they left with their daughters.
When Feng Lingxue returned to the Green Bamboo Garden, it was almost the second watch, and she walked all the way, watching those executioners still work in the Imperial City one by one, and it was time to slash the enemy while the moonlight was over.
Now that the gate of the palace has been locked, the hustle and bustle of the night has quieted down, Feng Lingxue is wearing a night suit, wrapped in a delicate figure, and instantly rises into the sky, turning into a flowing cloud in the sky, like a white starlight, disappearing without a shadow in an instant.
Xiao Lie and Bai Huayu followed, the three of them held long swords, climbed over the city gate, and stood in front of everyone, the royal forest army resisted the blades of the three masters with death, and instantly fell to the wind, Feng Lingxue's eyes were sharp, the long sword shook, and he waved out full of anger, killing the executioner.
"Miss! A total of 100 Royal Guards, just right! ”
Feng Lingxue stood beside the pile of corpses, feeling that her breath was suffocating, and her resentment was finally vented.
"Burn me! I'm going to ask them to sacrifice to my father and mother! "Feng Lingxue exudes a cold aura all over her body.
Xiao Lie found tung oil, splashed it around, and brought torches to burn the corpses to the ground.
The figures of the three disappeared into the night at the same time.
Mo Jingxuan returned to the War King's Mansion, walked directly into his study, returned to his previous coldness, and sat at the table without saying a word.
The four of them knew that the prince was angry about the marriage, but they didn't dare to come forward to persuade him.
Qiu Shaoze suddenly hurriedly broke into the palace, came to the study and said, "Jingxuan! Oh no! Something big is happening in the palace! The emperor was furious and immediately let us enter the palace to discuss matters! ”
Mo Jingxuan listened, stood up and wondered, "What happened?" ”
Qiu Shaoze didn't say much, he took a few steps forward and pulled him out, telling him everything he knew as he went.
When the two of them entered the Longwei Palace, the hall was already full of officials, big and small, and there was also an An Fulu, the chief administrator of the palace who was kneeling on the ground, and next to him, Yin Song Renguang of the Shuntian Mansion, Qiu Hanyu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Zhao Hao, the waiter, who was also the father of the second princess Zhao Yue.
Mo Jingxuan and Mo Jingchen happened to have a meeting, and the three of them walked into the hall together, and saw the emperor Mo Ziyuan sitting on the dragon chair, his eyes were shining, and he scolded angrily: "What's the use of raising you waste? The fire burned under my nose, and I didn't know what else you could do except for pleasure when you silently plucked my head. ”
Seeing this, the crown prince Mo Jing'an dared to speak: "Father's anger is relieved! Erchen saw that this matter may have been done by people on the rivers and lakes! ”
The second prince, Mo Jingning, echoed with a flickering eyebrow: "Father! Brother Prince is right, there are always those martial arts personnel who don't know the depths and want to overthrow the imperial court, they are all self-defeating guys! ”
Mo Ziyuan listened, looked up at the silent seventh and eighth with exquisite eyes, and asked, "Jing Xuan!" You have led troops for many years, what do you think about this? ”
Mo Jingxuan heard his father asking for his opinion, so he quickly replied: "Go back to your father!" Erchen just received the news and hurried over, and he didn't have time to go to the scene to investigate, so he didn't dare to express his opinions in vain? ”
"Jingchen? What about you? ”
"Back to my father! You see it too! I'm also just here, and I haven't been to the scene yet, so I don't dare to talk nonsense? ”
Mo Ziyuan's cheeks bulged, and he stood up and looked at the four people kneeling on the ground, and his anger did not come from the first place.
"The Imperial Guards are responsible for guarding the Imperial City, and now they are on fire here, and if they were to storm the palace, I would not have lost my head."
"Damn it! It's the ministers who are negligent in their duties, and please ask the emperor to calm his anger! ”
Mo Ziyuan listened, and after a little relaxation, he soothed some of his anger and said, "The prince and Jing An, you two strengthen the defense of the imperial city, so as not to be taken advantage of by thieves!" ”
The two clasped their fists and said yes.
"Jing Xuan, it's been a while since you've been back, and I'm going to order you to do today's business? January time limit to find out? Jingchen, are you responsible for assisting your seventh brother? You implicated officials help together, I don't believe it, dare someone break ground on Tai Sui's head! ”
Mo Jingxuan and Mo Jingchen came to the gate of the city and saw a charred corpse, and their hearts were shocked.
If you look closely, you were desperately resisting before you died, and a deadly sword on your neck sealed your throat, and you were burned after death, could this be done by the people of the rivers and lakes?
How do you think that the bloody case in the dungeon of Pingnan Wangfu is somewhat similar, except that those people were tortured to death, and these people were burned after death.
Is there any connection between the two? Is it a simple confrontation against the imperial court? But looking at the situation, there is a bit of a vendetta.
Mo Jingxuan and Mo Jingchen are actively looking for evidence, not to mention, there is constant big news in the capital.
First of all, the famous water-based Yanghua in the capital actually married the ugly eight monsters with a strange personality, although Mo Jingxuan is the god of war, but it also caused laughter and talk from the court and the people.
The emperor doesn't seem to like the Seventh Prince as he seems to be, is he really a master of high merit? Beware of your own son, and you don't have to joke about your son's lifelong happiness.
And in the imperial city overnight, hundreds of royal forest soldiers were killed and burned, which was the most important elite who guarded the emperor and the concubines of the palace, and they were slaughtered in one night? I don't know if it's the sudden rise of the rebel army or the intrigue in the court.
Feng Lingxue was lying on the bamboo chair, listening to Bai Huayu say that the leader of the Imperial Forest Army had escaped by chance, Feng Lingxue opened her eyes violently, and her voice was cold without a trace of warmth.
"What's his name? Who else but him is not among them? Feng Lingxue asked with anger in her eyes.
"His name is Wei Chen! There are a few more who are not among the dead now, stationed elsewhere, and the Flying Eagle Pavilion is counting. Cher! Can you let him go? ”
"Why?"
"Because it is reported that he went home to visit his relatives to see his wife and give birth!"
"So you're soft-hearted?"
"Cher? The child is innocent, we can't let him open his eyes and just see the world, he will have no father? ”
"Brother Yu! Do you remember Ling Yu's lively and cute appearance when he was a child, but they chopped him up and made him into buns? Who sympathizes with him, and he is a child? ”
"Cher? I'm sorry! Shouldn't I mention your sadness? ”
"It's okay! I only have revenge in my heart, and the rest of the words of sympathy and pity have nothing to do with me? ”
Feng Lingxue exuded a compelling chill all over her body, and there was no trace of temperature in her words.
