Chapter 172: The Rise of Chu Jin
Soon, Mu Jing walked to the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall and looked at the father-in-law Gao who was guarding the door.
At this time, Gao Gonggong greeted him.
"Manager Li, Princess Yu, please wait outside the door, the emperor is discussing with the two highnesses."
When Manager Li heard that King Yu was still inside, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, Mu Jing frowned, and said that he hadn't come out for so long.
Then he saw Gonggong Gao, went in for a while, and then walked out and said to Manager Li.
"Manager Li, the emperor invites you in."
"What about me?" Mu Jing frowned, everyone came at the same time, why could he go in first, and she had to wait here?
"The princess is angry, the emperor is dealing with state affairs, you can wait a while." Gao Gonggong immediately appeased this Mu Jingdao.
Mu Jing's face suddenly became unhappy.
"Princess, you better wait here for a while. I'll find a time to talk to the emperor later. Manager Li looked at Mu Jing and said to her.
Mu Jing naturally knew that she still had to wait a little longer, but she was not bad at the time she had to wait, but she hoped that the emperor would not let her wait too long.
Not long after Mr. Li entered, he walked out.
"Princess, the emperor is invited."
Mu Jing looked at Manager Li's speed was still quite fast, and then followed Manager Li in.
"Princess Yu, what's the matter with you?" The emperor looked at Mu Jing, just now Manager Li had already told him about it, this Mu Jing may have come to intercede for Mu Yan.
"Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask the emperor for a holy decree." Mu Jing saluted the emperor, and then said to the emperor.
"Please? What is it? The emperor was suspicious, he always knew that Mu Jing liked to go straight with a single knife, and he would actually do foreplay.
"Mu Yan has committed a very serious crime, but he should not harm his relatives, as the so-called ignorant is not guilty, I hope the emperor can pardon other unrelated people in the next edict." Mu Jing said every word, and finished speaking without a pause.
"Actually, Manager Li also told you that I would never kill everyone in the Prime Minister's family, but I still have to do such a thing on the surface. Why didn't you make it clear to Mu Yan directly? ”
Hearing what the emperor said, Mu Jing was stunned for a moment, looked at Manager Li, and he heard the conversation between him and Mu Yan.
"That's what I said, but we have no basis for what we say, he naturally won't believe it, presumably the emperor also knows that I am the daughter adopted by the prime minister, and I have been looking for my own life experience, and the minister thinks that the emperor intends to let other people go anyway, so it is better to give the minister a holy decree." Mu Jing continued slowly.
The emperor listened to what Mu Jing said and pinched his eyebrows.
"Princess Yu, it is impossible for me to make two contradictory decrees. Maybe there's a better way. ”
Mu Jing heard the emperor say this, Mu Jing frowned, could it be that Mu Yan was sure that she couldn't get the holy decree, so he asked her like this?
The corners of Mu Jing's mouth hooked, generally what she wants to do must be done, she took out a jade plaque from her sleeve.
"Your Majesty, I still remember that you once promised me that I could make three requests."
The emperor was stunned when he looked at the jade plaque, frowned, and looked at Mu Jing.
"I don't know if the emperor still counts his words?"
"Good! But this decree must not be leaked. The emperor sighed, and then said to Mu Jing.
"Okay." Mu Jing nodded.
Then while watching the emperor, he wrote the edict on the spot and handed it to Mu Jing.
"Remember, this edict cannot be lost." When the emperor gave Mu Jing, he repeatedly instructed him.
Mu Jing nodded and took the edict.
"If it's okay, you and Manager Li should step back first, I still have something to discuss with Yu'er and Jin'er." After the emperor looked at Mu Jing and nodded solemnly, he asked them to retreat.
Mu Jing looked at Chu Yu on the side, he happened to look at her at this time, his eyes were like a pool, and he obviously saw that he had something to say to her at this moment, but he couldn't say it.
"Princess, let's go." Manager Li pushed Mu Jing, who was stunned, and Mu Jing was relieved at this time, so he followed Manager Li out.
After going out, Mu Jing did not go directly to the prison, but went back to the palace first.
Then he sent someone to Uncle Wang's house to pick up Jasmine and Lan'er, and Mu Jing found that Ji Yuan had not been seen since she left the palace.
After some inquiries by Steward Li, Steward Li came back three days ago to clean up the palace, which was a mess, and then invited workers to prune it in the courtyard.
After the consultation, Mu Jing returned to her yard, and not long after she sat down, the family who went out to pick up people came back, and at this time it was Steward Li who took them to her yard.
"Princess, I went to the place you said and looked for it, but there was no one in it." Hearing Steward Li say this, Mu Jing was stunned.
"What the hell is going on?" Mu Jing frowned and looked at the housekeeper.
At this time, the housekeeper pushed the housekeeper to explain the situation.
"Back to the princess, when we went, it was already empty inside, but the things inside were all neat, and there was no panic, but there was no one inside, and it was estimated that the time they left the courtyard should have been three days." Jia Ding carefully retold the side.
"According to the next-door neighbors, they rarely crossed paths, but three days ago at night, the sound of a carriage was heard."
"Butler, immediately gather people, go and inquire about what happened, and send someone to the jade flute shop on Fanxing Street to have a look." Mu Jing was suddenly as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, three days ago, wasn't it the day the Queen Mother got into trouble? Why did they leave?
"Yes." The steward immediately received the order, and then went down and ordered the servants to go outside and search.
Mu Jing couldn't do anything, so he sat at home and waited for the housekeeper to have any good news, but there was no news when he came back.
And Chu Yu hadn't come back so late, Mu Jing didn't bother to wait, she wanted to rest, but she was lying on the bed and flipping left and right, she just couldn't sleep, so she got up and took out the emperor's edict from her sleeve.
She couldn't wait.
She got dressed, put on her cloak, and then asked the butler to prepare the carriage.
As soon as he walked to the door of the palace, he saw the palace car slowly walking to Mu Jing.
I saw Chu Yu get out of the carriage.
"Where are you going so late?" Chu Yu looked at Mu Jing, who was about to go out after looking at the dress of this matter, and said as he approached.
"Why did you come back so late?" Mu Jing did not answer Chu Yu's words directly, but directly asked Chu Yu.
Chu Yu looked at Mu Jing and asked, the corners of his mouth curled, he was worried that he would enter the palace to find him.
"Let's go in and talk about some state affairs."
Mu Jing was stunned for a moment, and did not follow Chu Yu in, but turned his head to him and said.
"I'll go to the prison now and talk to Mu Yan."
When Chu Yu heard this, his original good mood suddenly vanished, and this guy went out to see Mu Yan.
"It's so late now, you can't get in." Chu Yu's tone had the laziness just now, and he instantly sobered up a little.
"Why?"
