"She's not dead, so I believe you didn't set the fire in the cold palace." Duanmuqing repeated, he saw Wei Xueying alive with his own eyes, so he believed that Mo Huayuan did not set the fire in the cold palace.

Mo Huayuan's eyes bloomed brightly, her nervous mood eased a little, and she said unhurriedly: "She didn't die, she didn't die?" Listening carefully, you can hear the hatred in Mo Huayuan's tone.

Duanmuqing listened to it, and immediately frowned and scolded: "Princess, don't worry about this matter, don't have any bad thoughts about Wei Xueying, you just need to care about the current matter and take care of yourself." There are some things that you don't care about uselessly, it's better to pretend that you don't know, and if you go to the tip of the bull's horns, then I can't help you. ”

Mo Huayuan's heart trembled, tears of grievance flowed out, and he said with complaints: "Brother Duanmu, you said these words to me, but it hurt Huayuan's heart. ”

Duanmuqing pursed her lips, mixed with a threat that could not be ignored, and said: "I just hope that the princess can understand that you are now in the palace of the Northern Chu Kingdom, not elsewhere, if the princess is still so willful, I am afraid that you will not only be retired, but killed." ”

Mo Huayuan trembled, and her tears stopped at this moment.

She knew that Duanmuqing didn't want to hurt Wei Xueying, and would even stand on Wei Xueying's side, so she didn't say much, just hung her head and complained.

Duanmuqing's eyes were thoughtful, and he sighed lightly and said, "Princess, please tell me, have you ever done those things?" ”

There was a cautious light in Mo Huayuan's eyes, because he had already guessed that if she didn't say it, he would find out, I'm afraid he would blame her!

After a little hesitation, she still said it slowly, because these things really couldn't be hidden from Duanmuqing.

Chu Ling is smart, and Duanmu Qing is also smart.

She is a woman, and she cannot fight with them, and she can only survive by seeking protection.

On the other side, Chu Ling was waiting at the gate of the palace, his expression was indifferent, but there was a deep color flashing in his eyes, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

Not long after, Duanmuqing walked out, but his face was extremely heavy.

Before that, he had thought of some ways to deal with Mo Huayuan's affairs, but if the matter was true, his methods would not have any effect.

When Chu Ling saw Duanmuqing walking out, he waved his hand to the people behind him and motioned for them to leave.

When Gonggong An and the rest of the palace maids and eunuchs saw Chu Ling's gesture, they all retreated behind them clearly.

Duanmuqing saw Chu Ling guarding the door, so he walked over and put away his heavy expression.

"How? Can you figure out a way to let the princess of your Muyun clan stay in the Northern Chu Kingdom as she wishes? Chu Ling's tone was very direct, and he asked Duanmu Qing without any concealment.

Duanmuqing was not surprised, and said lightly: "The emperor asked this, although the minister is not very clear, but the minister knows that the emperor has already convicted Nanhou Niangniang of the crime, which makes the minister very surprised, but he also feels normal, after all, the evidence of Nanhou Niangniang's crime is placed in front of him, and there is evidence, so the emperor will think that Nanhou Niangniang is guilty." ”

The corners of Chu Ling's mouth tightened slightly, and there was a trace of solemnity in his brows: "Since you have committed a crime, it is serious." I have gathered all the evidence, if Duanmu still thinks that the evidence is wrong, we can re-investigate the matter, and the people I sent will be with you, what about it? ”

Duanmuqing raised his head and looked at Chu Ling, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally replied: "If the emperor thinks this is good, then the minister will agree and thank the emperor for his grace." ”

After Chu Ling made up his mind, he spoke: "Okay, then I will give you three days, if within three days, you don't find evidence that Mo Huayuan has not committed a crime, then I will issue a decree of resignation." ”

Duanmuqing's face changed, and in the face of Chu Ling's persecution, his eyes flashed with hesitation.

"What's wrong? Don't you dare? Chu Ling's face was pale, and he said in surprise: "No!" You have the ability to rob women with me, how can you not dare to accept it? ”

Duanmuqing's eyebrows moved, and he wanted to speak, but he wanted to stop talking.

"Duanmu National Master, your previous letter to visit shows that there must be sufficient evidence. Now I have the evidence in my hands, but I don't think you will believe the evidence in my hands, so I let you check it yourself. If you feel that my evidence is false, then I will let you find out for yourself. Chu Ling became serious, and her words were also deep and cold.

Seeing that Duanmuqing still had no sign of speaking, Chu Ling said again: "If you think it can't be done, then I have nothing to say." It's just that there will be a solution to this matter after all, and I will still honor my decision, you can think about it. He was serious, his eyes were very serious, but when he looked closely, he felt that there was a slight irony and suspicion in his eyes.

Duanmuqing's hands were clenched into fists, he knew that Chu Ling was persecuting him, and if he agreed to investigate, he would definitely not find out.

After all, Mo Huayuan did do something, and now that the evidence is conclusive, it is difficult to overturn these for a while.

But if he didn't agree, in the face of such an aggressive Chu Ling, he would be unable to parry, this was in the palace of the Northern Chu Kingdom, not in the Muyun clan.

He wants to find out about this matter, not to mention that he is not familiar with the place, even if he wants a little cooperation, I am afraid that the people of the Northern Chu Kingdom will avoid it and will not choose to help him, and it will be more difficult for him to investigate.

And Chu Ling stayed here, he had already made up his mind to persecute him, and he was confident, so he was now in a dilemma, if he didn't agree, he agreed that Mo Huayuan was indeed guilty, but if he agreed, he couldn't find out anything, and Chu Ling had enough conditions to sneak Mo Huayuan back to the Muyun clan.

"Your Majesty, if you let the ministers investigate this matter, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" Duanmuqing's face was smiling, his tone was not harsh, but his eyes were calm.

Chu Ling was serious, shook his head and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong, as long as I think it's okay, that's fine." Moreover, it is not good that this matter has dragged on for a long time, because the case of Nanhou involving the murder of the queen has already angered the ministers and people of the country, and if I do not give a reply to this matter, I will not be able to explain. ”

When Duanmuqing heard Wei Xueying's name, she frowned and said angrily: "The emperor knows that she is not dead, let alone killed. Wei Xueying didn't die at all, but Chu Ling put this sin on Mo Huayuan's body, obviously making up his mind not to Mo Huayuan.

Chu Ling had a hint of negation in her eyes, and shook her head: "Isn't she dead?" His mouth filled with doubts: "However, I saw with my own eyes that she was dead, her body was found in the fire, and she had been buried in the imperial mausoleum by me." And it's ridiculous that you're telling me now that she's not dead. ”

Duanmuqing lowered his eyebrows and locked deeply, a little unable to understand Chu Ling's intentions.

This Chu Ling knew that Wei Xueying was not dead, but he deliberately said these words, he felt that the road under his feet was not safe.
