Chapter 129: An Arrow Pierces the Heart
Meng was not surprised to hear what happened in the court today, because everything that happened was expected by her.
The prince was already a little panicked.
I can guess that the emperor wants to raise his noble hand, how can the prince not know?
He could only let the Yanguan put pressure on the emperor and incite the students in the capital, making them feel that because of Jing Qicheng, they would receive unfair treatment.
However, since Meng Combrow had already guessed the prince's movements, she naturally had a way to deal with it.
She secretly notified Lord Lang Ding of the Criminal Department, arrested some of the students in prison in the name of making trouble, and then asked Shen Moran to tell the news that she had found Chen's father.
What the prince is most worried about now must be how much Father Chen knows, and he should regret that he didn't cut the grass and eradicate it.
Meng Combrow's guess was not wrong at all, the prince was furious, pointed to his subordinates and asked where this Chen father came from.
"It's the subordinates who are not doing well."
When the prince's subordinates found Chen Ziqi, a person who was willing to die for money, they also knew that he had a father, but Chen's father was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he smoked Wushi San, and they didn't expect Chen's father to become a witness.
"Rubbish! A bunch of rice buckets! ”
Now even if he is angry, it is useless, and the prince can only find a way to remedy it.
In case this Father Chen bites himself, not only will he not be able to convict Jing Qicheng at that time, but he may also implicate himself.
The prince was moved to kill, and he asked Li Ya to pick a few good assassins. Be sure to do it cleanly!
Chen's father got into the carriage tremblingly, and Meng Combrow only told him to take him to a safe place, but did not say where this place was.
"Don't worry, you just need to tell you everything you know, I promise you, I will keep you safe."
Meng combed his eyebrows and laughed as he ordered a few subordinates to follow Father Chen to protect him.
Father Chen thought that she was a princess, so she shouldn't lie.
Seeing the carriage creaking away, Meng combed his eyebrows and turned around and asked Chunxing, is there any news from the shopkeeper Zhu.
"Shopkeeper Zhu said that everything has been arranged."
"That's good."
Meng combed his eyebrows and closed his eyes, all he had to do now was wait.
She sat on a chair in the flower hall, smelling the smell of condensation incense wafting from the incense burner, which had a calming effect, but at this moment, Meng Combrow's heart was a little chaotic.
She had everything planned, but plans always had to change.
Chunxing saw that the tea in the tea bowl was already cold, so she went to change to a new one.
When she put the tea bowl on the table, Aunt Song walked in, and Meng combs her eyebrows and stood up sharply like a spring, asking her if she had any news.
"Shopkeeper Zhu is already waiting for you in the front hall."
Meng combed his eyebrows and walked quickly to the front hall, and after seeing her, the shopkeeper Zhu made a gesture and whispered that the matter had been done.
Her hanging heart let go, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
"But does anyone doubt it?"
"Don't worry, princess, Mo Han's archery skills are very good, and Father Chen is dead."
Meng combed his eyebrows and nodded, and asked Shopkeeper Zhu to leave through the back door.
Yes, she asked Mo Han to kill Father Chen on the way to Honglu Temple to send Father Chen.
Father Chen only knows a little bit of skin, even if it is sent to Honglu Temple, it can't help Jing Qicheng too much, the reason why she bothered so much to make everyone think that Father Chen knows a lot is to make the prince murderous.
Moreover, Chen's father must be killed before he was sent to Honglu Temple, so that everyone will think that someone didn't want him to speak out, so he killed people.
At that time, even if there is no evidence, the emperor will feel that Jing Qicheng is innocent.
As long as the emperor thinks so, it is enough.
Father Chen did die a little unjustly, but even if Meng Combrow didn't kill him, the prince wouldn't let him go, Meng Combrow was just using his death to maximize his interests.
She didn't feel like she had done anything wrong or felt any guilt.
For Jing Qicheng, she doesn't care about a person's death.
Sure enough, as she expected, Father Chen's death made the emperor furious, what kind of place is Honglu Temple, and it will actually make people die at the gate of Honglu Temple? What does this make people in the world think?
Zhen Siqing also felt that he was quite innocent, he died before the certificate was handed over to him, and the emperor still blamed himself, he didn't know how to continue to investigate this case now.
Meng Combrow knew that it shouldn't be too far from the time when Jing Qicheng was released, but where did Mo Han go?
Mo Han didn't return to the palace after killing Chen's father for himself, which was definitely not something Mo Han would do.
She immediately ordered someone to find Mo Han, and she must find a way to get him back.
The candlelight flickered, and Meng Combrow was just about to get up and close the window, when he saw a dark shadow flashing outside the window.
She thought it was an assassin, and just as she wanted to call someone, she saw Mo Han coming in through the window covered in blood.
"Mo Han!"
Meng combed his eyebrows and was shocked, and quickly helped Mo Han to lie down on his bed.
"The Princess's Atonement...... My blood stains your bed. ”
"You're still saying such things when you're hurt like this."
Meng Combrow hurriedly took medicine and water to help him scrub his body, but Mo Han resisted.
He is a humble body, how can he let Meng comb his eyebrows to help him do such a thing?
"You said you have to listen to me in everything, you should honestly not move now."
Meng combed his eyebrows a little angrily, what did he care about so much etiquette at the moment of life and death.
Mo Han's injuries were very serious, and she didn't know how Mo Han persevered to the palace.
"After I did what you explained, when I was retreating, I met the prince's people."
The crown prince also secretly ambushed people outside the Honglu Temple, but judging by their appearance, he probably didn't want to do it at that time.
The prince is not a fool, of course he knows that if he kills Father Chen directly, it will definitely arouse suspicion, so the people he sent are planning to find an opportunity to make the scene look like Father Chen's suicide, who knows that a Mo Han jumped out halfway.
Mo Han's archery skills were accurate, and an arrow pierced Chen's father's heart, and the prince's men began to hunt him down.
After he was injured, he was afraid that the prince's people would find out about his relationship with the Chen's palace, so he didn't come back immediately, but made sure that the prince's people had dispersed before returning to the palace.
I don't know how much blood Mo Han shed.
"The princess is relieved...... The prince's people will definitely not suspect the palace. ”
Meng combed his eyebrows and looked at Mo Han's deep visible wounds, and couldn't help frowning.
Some of Mo Han's wounds had begun to suppurate, and she had to squeeze out the pus and blood to bandage them.
How could he endure such a serious injury! This ghost doctor feels terrible!
