Mo Jue was helpless, got up and opened the lock, walked out of the cell door and stood in front of her, stretched out his hand and gently touched her forehead: "If you didn't let me do it, where would we need to do this?"

Although it is a word of accusation, I can't hear any blame in it at all.

Mu Liyue smiled and said: "At that time, if you started to do it, everyone in the world would know that the Mowang Mansion had killed the king, in that case, wouldn't it really make the Mowang Mansion bear the reputation of rebellion? ”

Mo Jue also understood what she meant, he was worried about Mo Lin and them, and said, "Li'er, let's go and see their stepfather first."

Dongfang Zhen, just in case, separated the two of them from Mo Lin and the others, and Mo Lin was in other places, but she had already asked Tuanzi to follow Mo Lin and protect Mo Lin and the rest of Mo Wangfu.

Following the marks left by the group, Mu Liyue and Mo Jue came to a very remote place, she really didn't expect the palace to have such a desolate place.

They walked in and found that it was a very dilapidated water prison, with water on all sides, and only a cell was built in the middle, where Mo Lin and the rest of Mo Wang's Mansion were locked up.

They knocked the guards unconscious and went into the middle dungeon.

Mu Liyue gave Mo Lin an antidote, because they had something to say to Mo Lin, so they didn't give the antidote to others for the time being.

It didn't take long for Mo Lin to wake up.

"Father-in-law, are you alright?" asked Mu Liyue with concern.

Mo Lin shook his head: "I'm fine, how are you?"

Mu Liyue replied, "We're fine. ”

Mo Lin looked at the people in the Mo Wang's Mansion around him, and saw that they were all lying on the ground unconscious, and asked worriedly, "Liyue, how are they?"

Mu Liyue said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, they are all fine, they are just fed cartilage powder, and they will be fine after taking the antidote later." ”

Mo Lin nodded, knowing that Mo Jue and Mu Liyue should have something to say to him alone, he asked, "What are you going to do now?"

Mo Jue spat out one word: "Kill." ”

Mo Lin stopped talking when he heard this, his face was full of confusion, he knew that what Mo Jue said about killing was to kill Dongfang Zhen, but he was very worried about the sudden death of the king of a country, would the Eastern Empire be in chaos?

Mo Jue knew that Mo Lin had been guarding the Eastern Empire all his life, and what he wanted to protect was not the royal family, but all the people of the Eastern Empire, and what he was worried about was whether it would have an impact on the country after killing Dongfang Zhen.

So he asked directly: "Father-in-law, have you ever thought about being an emperor?"

Mo Lin shook his head without hesitation: "I never thought about it, and I don't want to be it." "He knows himself, he is good at marching and fighting, but he can't govern a country, and he doesn't have the heart to deal with those things.

Mo was not surprised by Mo Lin's answer, he said: "Then let's let the four princes take the throne." ”

Mo Lin thought about it, the fourth prince was born to a palace maid, and he had almost no sense of existence in the palace, but he had inadvertently helped the fourth prince and found that he was proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and he only hid his edge for self-preservation, in terms of ability, he was no worse than the current prince.

"The fourth prince is indeed a good candidate, but what about the other princes?" Dongfang Zhen has a total of five sons, and the eldest prince is the queen's biological son, and he has been made the crown prince many years ago.

Mo never told Mo Lin that his plan was to keep only the four princes in the entire Eastern Imperial Family, otherwise there would be endless trouble, "Leave this to me." ”

Mo Lin didn't think much about it, since Mo Jue could handle it, he didn't have to worry about it, he reminded: "Then you must not let chaos happen in the Eastern Empire, otherwise there will be trouble with internal and external troubles at that time." ”

Mo Jue hummed and said, "Then father-in-law, you wait here for me and Li'er first, and we will come back to pick you up when we finish our business." ”

After Mu Liyue handed over the antidote to the other people's cartilage dispersion to Mo Lin, she left with Mo Jue.

"Shall we go to find the Four Princes first?" asked Mu Liyue and Mo Jue after they got out of the water prison.

"No, the less people know about this matter, the better, even the fourth prince may not be credible. Mo Jue replied.

Mu Liyue thought about it, too, even if the four princes knew that they helped him ascend to the throne, and now they were grateful to them, no one could guarantee that when he was in power in the future, he would thank them, maybe he would bite back and use this matter to eradicate the Mowang Mansion.

The night was thick, the sky was dark, the moon and stars did not appear, the whole sky did not have a trace of light, the palace was silent, suddenly a torrential rain hit, thunder roared, as if to show that the night was not peaceful.

Early the next morning, the palace was full of running figures, and the palace ladies and eunuchs were crying while running towards the emperor's bedroom.

Several people from the prince's palace outside the palace hurriedly entered the palace, and the ministers of the court who received the news also ran to the palace in a hurry, roaring and crying, and the whole palace was suddenly in chaos.

The person who caused all this had already returned to his cell slowly, and his relaxed posture seemed to be some kind of play.

At this time, the emperor's bedroom was full of cries and angry scolding, the queen was lying on the side of the bed, looking at Dongfang Zhen who was breathless on the bed, the disbelief in her eyes had not had time to completely fade, the whole person was stunned, and someone suddenly broke in outside the palace.

"The Queen, the Prince...... The crown prince he died. The man knelt on the ground and said with a sad face.

The queen turned sharply to look at the visitor, "What did you say?"

The man who knelt on the ground said, "Prince...... Killed last night. ”

The queen's body shook and almost fell from the side of the bed to the ground, but fortunately, the palace maid next to her supported her in time.

She kept muttering: "Prince, Prince......"

How could her prince be dead? She had dinner with him yesterday, and they must have been mistaken.

At this time, several people outside the hall ran in and knelt on the ground, shouting at the same time: "Queen Mother, the second prince/third prince/fifth prince is gone." ”

The queen was still immersed in the grief of the prince's loss, and she didn't hear it for a while, but the biological mothers of several princes who were kneeling not far away quickly came to the person who reported to confirm that when they learned that the princes were really dead, they all fainted instantly.

There was another heart-rending shout, and the queen barely regained a trace of her heart, and asked several concubines to be sent back to their respective palaces for medical treatment.

The queen reconfirmed to the few people kneeling on the ground, and she tried to find out the scene of the death of the crown prince and several princes.

After several people's descriptions, she found that the crown prince, several princes and the emperor all died in the same way, and the murderer was very neat and simple, who hated the Eastern royal family so much?
