Chapter 371: Insufficient Success
At this time in the palace. The second prince, Nangong Xu, took several "human witnesses" from the third junior high school, Mu Rui, and Qingfan, and reported to the emperor the "amazing news" he obtained from his "investigation".
Lord Liang stood aside, watching the emperor quietly listen to the report of the second prince, his face was ugly, and there was hidden anger.
Nangong Xu finished speaking, and the emperor didn't speak for a long time.
After a while, the emperor asked Liang En, "Has order been restored in the city?" ”
"Back to the emperor, it has been restored."
"King Xuan went to Xishan and hasn't come back yet?" The emperor asked again.
"Haven't come back yet."
After the emperor asked this, he didn't speak for a long time.
"Father," the second prince said, "According to this woman named Qingfan, that lady Yan has hundreds of people under her command, and she is quite powerful, and Nancheng ......."
Before the second prince's words were finished, the emperor interrupted him and said to Qing Fan: "I have a rare impression, you seem to have been Princess Xuan's personal maid before?" ”
"Back to the emperor, yes." Qing Fan knelt on the ground and bowed his head in reply.
"Princess Xuan has scolded you?" The emperor asked.
"Back to the emperor, no, the princess was very good to the people during her lifetime."
The emperor's gaze turned to Mu Rui again.
Mu Rui has been keeping her head down since she entered the palace, trembling. During the interrogation in the capital government before, she revealed her true identity, and then muttered "Madame save me" and "Childe save me" in a somewhat delirious voice. When the interrogator asked, she answered some of them, and some of them she answered as if she didn't understand. Still, the magistrate was given some useful information. For example, the old patriarch of the Mu clan died, and the goddess was gone, and now this goddess is fake. Because she seemed to be a little delirious, the court official did not use torture, fearing that the board would go down and really beat her into a madman.
"Mu Rui, do you remember me?" The emperor asked.
Mu Rui didn't look up, kneeling on the ground and trembling with her hands and feet.
The emperor said to Gao Gong: "Take her down and find a doctor to take a look." ”
"Yes."
Gao Gonggong went over and pulled up Mu Rui, who was kneeling on the ground. Although Mu Rui's body trembled violently, she obediently followed Father-in-law Gao.
"Father," the second prince was about to say something, but the emperor raised his hand and signaled not to say it yet.
The emperor asked the third junior high: "Do you know King Xuan?" ”
"No, I don't know." The third year of junior high school denied it.
"Lord Liang, you send the two of them to Dali Temple." The emperor said.
"Yes." Liang Endao took the order and left with Qingfan and the third year of junior high school. Although this kind of work of sending people to Dali Temple should not be done by Yin of the capital of the capital in person, this is the emperor's order. So, he also left.
In the imperial study, only the second prince remained.
"Father......" Nangong Xu was about to speak again.
I saw the emperor pick up the ruler on the table and smash it on Nangong Xu's head.
"Father!" Nangong Xu was hit, panicked, hurriedly knelt down, and said, "Did Erchen do something wrong?" Please make it clear to my father. ”
"What did you do wrong?" The emperor laughed angrily, picked up another ruler and smashed it at him, hatefully: "If you don't have the ability, you will stay in your mansion honestly!" Mrs. Yan is Ye Xiaoyan and Princess Xuan, don't say you don't know! ”
"What?" Nangong Xu was still pretending to be stupid and said, "How can that Mrs. Yan be Princess Xuan?" This, this ...... "book warehouse network."
The emperor sneered: "You want to use Mrs. Yan to make a fuss and hit your third emperor brother!" ”
"Erchen didn't." Nangong Xu defended: "Erchen just found that Mrs. Yan had many suspicious things, suspected that she was related to the fake goddess, and wanted to find out about it. That's all, that's all, father! ”
"Find out about this? Are you Dali Temple, Yushitai, or the Criminal Department? Who sent you to investigate? ”
"This, this, me, I ......"
"I just announced that Mrs. Yan, that is, Ye Xiaoyan, is the princess of Xuan this morning, and you will immediately go to her people and check her details. Hello! You're so nice! ”
"Erchen, Erchen doesn't know that Mrs. Yan is the princess Xuan who was just given by her father."
"She is with Nangong You every day, she is not Princess Xuan, who else will be!"
"Erchen, Erchen......"
Nangong Xu is indeed pretending to be confused. After interrogating the guys at Nanyuan Restaurant, it was already clear that the "Yan Gongzi" in their mouths was Nangong You. Don't say anything else, just say the names Qingfeng and Wind, who will they follow besides Nangong You.
As for the three girls Qingfan, Qingshu, and Qingmao, they are the big girls promoted by Ye Xiaoyan after marrying into Queen Xuan, Nangong Xu has almost no contact with Xuanwangfu, and it is normal not to know these three people.
Nangong Xu defended: "Father, Mrs. Nayan's origin is indeed suspicious. She was by the side of the Third Emperor Brother, and the retainers were worried that the Third Emperor Brother would be deceived. ”
"Huh!" The emperor shook his head in mockery. is such an obvious thing, is he really stupid and dull as a pig, or is he pretending to be stupid and clever.
The emperor ordered: "Release all the people you have captured!" Then go to the Xuanwang Mansion in person to apologize. ”
"Father, is she really the princess Xuan who has just been conferred?" Nangong Xu is still making the last struggle.
The emperor looked at Nangong Xu with an angry face, and told him silently: Yes.
"Father, is that little prince really the biological son of the third emperor's younger brother?"
Nangong Xu still didn't believe that Nangong You would have an illegitimate child.
The emperor sighed: "They put out the fire in Xishan, but you set fire in their backyard." Alas......"
The emperor is now a little worried that Ye Xiaoyan will be angry. If she is really angry, I don't know what the consequences will be. She is the master of this mountain and river map space, and she can move anyone outside the space at any time. If this second son annoys her, maybe Ye Xiaoyan's mind moves, and Nangong Xu will leave this world.
The emperor was annoyed that Nangong Xu had not done enough and had more than enough failures. I thought before that if he made any achievements, he would also be crowned a king. But now it seems that I am afraid to consider whether to demote him to a civilian or not.
Nangong Xu saw that the emperor's angry face had faded, and asked tentatively: "Father, the princess Xuan...... Is the origin reliable? ”
The emperor glanced at him and closed his eyes.
It's not easy to be a father! It was the eldest son before, and he was finally down-to-earth when he said a word. Now he is the second son, who is cut first and then played, and makes his own decisions. I thought I had robbed a credit, but I didn't know that it was a stabbing of Lou Zi!
I hope Ye Xiaoyan is magnanimous and don't worry about him!
The emperor thought so in his heart.
The capital of the government.
Because the guys from the South Garden Food Workshop all went home after being arrested and interrogated, so the wind ran back to King Xuan's Mansion to call people. hired a few carriages, one by one, to carry Mama Tai, Sister-in-law Qi, Qingshu, Qingmao, Xinnu, and Yueniang out of the cell.
Green Branches also came with her, and when she saw the injuries of these people, she choked up in her throat and couldn't speak, and tears rolled in her eyes.
Lord Yin Sun, the young man of the capital mansion, stood in the lobby, not daring to stop him.
Nangong You looked at the people who were lifted out one by one, his face was pale.
No wonder Yan'er's face was not good just now, she didn't expect them to be punished so heavily.
