Chapter 40: King Duan

Concubine Hui's eyes widened, her original delicate makeup was cracked, like a vase with cracks, her body was soft, and her eyes were black.

The incident happened suddenly, and Concubine Hui didn't know what was going on at all, but there was one thing she knew, not to mention that murdering the royal heir was a big crime of the Jiu clan, let alone that person was the prince......

knelt forward and climbed three steps: "Your Majesty, someone must have bought Chang Zhen, a cheap maid, to frame the concubine!" Your Majesty, the Emperor will quickly punish Chang Zhen and let her explain who is the mastermind behind the scenes! ”

Chang Zhen had been curled up beside her, but at this moment, when she heard that she was going to be punished, she immediately exclaimed: "Concubine Hui, you can't do this, you said that you want to keep the slave and maid, and besides, this poison is also raised by you personally, how can you wronged the slave and maid." ”

Concubine Hui shook her head in panic, her face turned pale: "What kind of poison, you cheap maid is still arranging things indiscriminately." Angry, Concubine Hui tried her best to slap her.

Chang Zhen made Concubine Hui's body crooked and fell to the ground.

At this time, outside the imperial study, there was another movement, Concubine Lin rushed to hear the news, saw the emperor and hurriedly ran two steps, knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, you want to be the master of the concubine!" ”

The emperor rubbed his forehead: "Concubine Lin, you are not well yet, get up quickly." ”

Concubine Lin bit her lip and looked at Concubine Hui hatefully: "Concubine Hui, this palace treats you well on weekdays, you actually hurt my Jingyu, you are too femme fatale." After speaking, he bowed to the emperor again: "Your Majesty, Jingyu's life and death are still unknown, you can't let go of his murderer." ”

Concubine Hui took a step back with her hands on the ground, as if she couldn't look directly at Concubine Lin's angry eyes: "You, you are talking nonsense, this palace still suspects that you are looking for someone to frame this palace." ”

Concubine Lin hurriedly picked up a handkerchief and covered her eyes, crying: "Your Majesty, will the concubine use her son's life to frame people, Concubine Hui, you are also a person with children, and you will be punished by God if you say this today." ”

Following Concubine Lin, Mu Beichen stepped in, swept a group of people with cold eyes, and saluted: "Father, the son heard that this poison needs to be fed with human blood, according to what Chang Zhen said, find someone to check whether Concubine Hui has a wound on her body, and you will know if she has been wronged." ”

Concubine Lin raised her head violently, and her resentful eyes shot straight at Concubine Hui: "Yes, check it now." ”

As soon as Concubine Hui heard this, she subconsciously hugged her body with both hands: "This palace doesn't check, why do you suspect this palace, this palace didn't do this." ”

This time, even the emperor looked at her with suspicion: "Concubine Hui, since you didn't do it, let people take a look." ”

Concubine Hui shook her head desperately: "No, this palace doesn't want it, it wasn't done by this palace, someone induced Chang Zhen, a cheap maid, to frame this palace!" ”

But it was useless to let her say anything, Zheng Zhi stepped forward, grabbed Concubine Hui's arm, and said in a rough voice: "Concubine Hui, I'm offended." ”

The sleeves of the brocade robe were lifted up, and there was a scar, and everyone saw it clearly. Concubine Hui's face turned pale, and the light in her eyes dimmed instantly.

"Your Majesty...... It's really not a concubine...... "Concubine Hui's strength seemed to be drained, and after being let go by Zheng Zhi, the whole person fell to the ground softly.

"Concubine Hui, it's really you!" Concubine Lin was angry and breathing heavily, eager to step forward and kick a few more times.

Concubine Hui looked at Mu Chu with the last ray of hope: "Your Majesty, this is the concubine who accidentally fell and injured herself a few days ago. ”

A touch of pain flashed in Mu Chu's eyes: "Find the imperial doctor to come and have a look." ”

*

Tai Doctor Wu, the chief physician of Tai Hospital, is an old lady doctor respected by everyone in the palace, he behaves properly and never does anything that violates morality, so no one questioned his words.

Therefore, when Imperial Physician Wu confirmed that the scar on Concubine Hui's arm was cut by a sharp blade, not a fall, everyone didn't need to say more.

Mu Beichen's dark eyes swept lightly over Concubine Hui: "Father, murdering the prince is a serious crime, and the sons feel that it is best to investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

The emperor lowered his eyes, hiding the thoughts in his eyes, his face dyed with vicissitudes of life with a hint of fatigue, but the momentum of the superior was still there.

Mu Beichen's words, the emperor didn't understand, behind Concubine Hui's doing, was there any second prince Mu Liangcheng intervening.

However, even if he is the emperor, he is also a little selfish, and after pondering for a long time, he sighed: "Escorting Concubine Hui to the cold palace has nothing to do with the second prince, but since it is his mother, the second prince will temporarily confine the palace and call for nothing." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Mu Beichen to speak again, Mu Chu stood up: "You asked someone to release Yuan Che, you have wronged that child in the past few days." ”

Mu Beichen took a step back and lowered his head: "Yes, father." ”

Seeing Concubine Hui being dragged out like a pile of soft mud, Mu Beichen's dark eyes moved slightly and he stopped talking.

On the side of the prince's bedroom, Rong Ruo exhaled a breath, and sat down directly on the chair next to him when he was so tired.

Jiang Cheng covered the prince with a quilt, turned his head and said, "Miss Rong, you go and rest for a while, and I will take care of it here." ”

Rong Ruo nodded weakly, she can sleep for three days and three nights when she closes her eyes when she is sleepy.

Before leaving, Rong Ruo repeatedly explained: "You have to guard it personally, and if there is any problem, you must find me." ”

"Okay." Jiang Cheng gave her a smile.

Rong Ruo walked out of the inner room and wanted to find a palace maid to ask if there was a spare room for her to sleep in, and when she came out, she found that there were three people waiting outside.

One of them is the imperial physician Liu Xiang.

Seeing Rong Ruo, Liu Xiang's sleepy eyes immediately widened: "Miss Rong, how is the prince?" ”

Rong Ruo knew that this Liu Xiang was just obeying Concubine Lin's orders, so he was not embarrassed, and said: "The poison is deformed, and I can't wake up for the time being." ”

While Liu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't dare to let go of his heart completely: "I'll go and inform Concubine Lin." ”

Rong Ruo watched Liu Xiang run out, and she didn't care, she couldn't manage it even if she wanted to, but she still twisted her brows, afraid that when Concubine Lin came, she would disturb the prince. After all, he had just been detoxified, and the prince couldn't wake up for a while, and if he was disturbed, he was afraid of an accident.

Reaching out and rubbing the back of his neck, Rong Ruo found the other two people in the hall, and the two of them also looked at Rong Ruo, hugged their fists, and said politely: "Miss Rong." ”

Rong Ruo thought about it, Liu Xiang could stay here for a long time and not break in, it is estimated that these two people stopped him, so in this case, it must not be Concubine Lin and the Imperial Palace, could it be Mu Beichen's people?

Thinking so, one of them said, "King Jing has arranged a guest room, and I will take the girl there." ”

Rong Ruo's sluggish head nodded because of sleepiness, making sure that these two people were really Mu Beichen's people, and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”

Before going out, he felt uneasy, and said: "The prince has just detoxified, so he can't be disturbed." ”

Mu Beichen's subordinates were also clever, and immediately said: "Don't worry, girl, the prince has already made arrangements." ”

Rong Ruo thought about it, since the man had arranged for someone to stay behind, he must have thought of this, so he also put his mind at ease and decided to sleep and take over Jiang Cheng again.

Three days later, the crown prince woke up, and in view of the merits of the Jing Palace, the 100,000 forbidden army originally controlled by the second prince was handed over to Mu Beichen, and the second prince was also temporarily secluded in the palace.

All the palace maids and eunuchs of Mingyue Palace were sent to guard the mausoleum, and as for Concubine Hui, she went crazy when she heard that she had entered the cold palace for a day.

Rong Ruo originally thought that this matter could be regarded as helping Mu Beichen once, and she didn't owe anything anymore, this time the marriage contract between the two of them could always be dissolved.

Unexpectedly, because Rong Ruo made great contributions to the rescue of the crown prince, the emperor actually acquiesced to this marriage contract.

Naturally, this incident made Concubine Yi very unhappy.

The backyard of King Jing's Mansion

Chu Feng leaned on the railing of the pavilion and said with a smile: "Second brother, this time, you should always thank me." ”

Mu Beichen held a glass of wine in his hand and glanced at him coldly.

Yan Hui's body had recovered, but he still drank tea: "Actually, we shouldn't involve a woman." ”

Chu Feng waved his fan in a chic manner: "It's not bad now, things are complete, and I found a princess for the second brother." ”

Yan looked back at Mu Beichen: "Yuan Che is okay, right?" ”

Mu Beichen's thin lips pressed against the wine glass and nodded: "Rest at home." ”

Chu Feng put one hand on the railing, his slender fingers tapped, and he smiled gracefully: "Going to prison once can be regarded as enriching his life experience." ”

Mu Beichen said coolly: "Are you envious? I'll change you next time. ”

Chu Feng grinned: "This kind of thing can't be envied, it's better to keep it for others." ”

Yan Hui smiled, Chu Feng was flamboyant, and Mu Beichen could clean him up.

Chu Feng put away the fan and blinked: "Second brother, this time the emperor decreed, you have to marry if you don't marry." He couldn't help but go back to here.

Mu Beichen didn't care at all, and said lightly: "Let's talk about it." ”

Chu Feng said to Yan Hui: "If you don't marry a wife, I'm embarrassed to find a partner." ”

Chu Feng was not surprised to receive two sharp gazes, and closed his mouth to drink tea.

Duanwangfu

In a room with closed doors and windows, a tall figure sat at a desk, his hands clasped against his forehead, as if in deep thought.

Suddenly, he raised his head and waved his big hand, and everything on the table was swept to the ground, making a lot of noise.

Duanwang Mu Liangcheng, he couldn't imagine why things had developed to this point.

When he received the news, he was still in a private meeting with a minister, who was an important civil servant in the imperial court, and he was secretly encircling in order to stand on his side in the subsequent struggle for the throne.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, and in the past two years, the prince and his two henchmen have developed well, and the forces of the two sides are also balanced.

It was at this time that the palace actually underwent internal changes, and his mother became the one who murdered the prince.

Mu Liangcheng's first thought was that he was framed.

After thinking about it carefully, he put the object of his suspicion on the crown prince and Mu Beichen.

In the past two years, Mu Liangcheng's power has gradually risen, which is enough to make the prince sleep, and threatens his accession to the throne in the future. Therefore, it is very likely that it is a play directed and acted by him.

As for Mu Beichen, the feud between the two of them was concluded three years ago.

Mu Liangcheng clenched his fist and smashed it on the desk, and the fist smashed through the tabletop, causing his finger bones to bleed, but it couldn't hurt the resentment in his heart.

Mu Yuanche and Mu Beichen are brothers, it is difficult to guarantee that Mu Beichen did not frame his mother in order to save Mu Yuanche, but what happened to the palace maid next to her mother, she was also bought by Mu Beichen?

After calming down, Mu Liangcheng thought of something, quickly walked to the door, and summoned his henchmen, his black eyes were half-narrowed, and his eyes were cloudy: "Find a way to arrest Chang Zhen, this king has something to ask her." ”

He had already decided that no matter what method he used, he would let Chang Zhen speak.
