Chapter 222 The Emperor's Might
Mu Churan smiled coldly and said sharply, "Bring people to me!" ”
There was a sound of footsteps, and it landed on the hall very neatly, and the commander of the Wuyi guard personally escorted Wu Tian, and under the gaze of everyone, he came in.
When Leng Qingchen saw Wu Tian being arrested, her heart sank, and the expression on her face was a little unnatural, but she was still thinking about how to justify herself in her mind.
Wu Tian has been sealed in four big holes, and he can't exert any internal force.
The commander of the Wuyi Guard threw the people into the hall and quietly retreated.
Mu Churan stared at Wu Tian and asked directly, "Bold Wu Tian, where are you hiding Princess Changle?" ”
Wu Tian raised his head, but his eyes passed over Mu Churan and looked at the Queen Mother who was sitting on the other side. Leng Qingzhen frowned and glanced back at him coldly, Wu Tian fully understood that the matter had been revealed, but he would not lose everything. Now the only bargaining chip in their hands is Mu Qingjuan, the princess of Changle.
For some reason, a hint of joy rose in Wu Tian's heart. Because of Leng Qingjian's trust in himself, he left it to himself. In the entire Purple Gold City now, I'm afraid that no one except him knows where Mu Qingwan is.
A strange smile appeared on his face.
Mu Churan was keenly aware of this subtle change, and couldn't help but be annoyed, got up from his seat, stepped forward and kicked Wu Tian in the chest, kicking him to the ground, "I asked you something, but you dare not answer?" Do you feel that if someone supports you, you don't have to take me, the great son of heaven, in your eyes? The implication of these words was directed at the Queen Mother, and when she heard it coldly, she had to express her position.
She deliberately raised her voice, "Wu Tian, didn't you go out of the palace to buy at the behest of this palace?" Why did the emperor's people arrest you, could it be that Princess Changle's disappearance really has something to do with you? It's not really coming. ”
Obviously, Mu Churan had already convicted him, and when he arrived at the Queen Mother, he changed the sinner to a suspect with two sentences of questioning.
Mu Churan raised his eyebrows and looked back at Leng Qingji, "Does the queen mother mean that the people I sent out deliberately framed him?" ”
Leng Qingchen was in front of him, and such a reversal of black and white had already made Mu Churan lose patience. He stepped on Wu Tian's body with one foot, slightly forced, "I ask you again, where is Princess Changle?" Wu Tian was almost out of breath when he stepped on him, but he saw Leng Qingchen slowly shaking his head at him.
Leng Qingchen and Wu Tian are worthy of being masters and servants for many years, and their minds actually thought of one place.
If Wu Tian also bites the bite and denies it, then Mu Churan naturally can't do anything about him, at most he will only treat him for a crime of dereliction of duty. The so-called kidnapping of the princess is just speculation.
Just when Leng Qingchen was still holding on to a bit of luck, he heard someone from an outsider report that he found Mu Qingxuan's personal palace maid Abi in the Hanguang Hall not far away. Hanguang Hall is a palace that has been vacant for a long time, and it is close to the Chaolu Palace, and Leng Qingzhen just used it to hide dirt and dirt, but he didn't want Mu Churan's people to search carefully, so he actually searched Abi out.
The injury on Abi's body, when a discerning person saw it, knew that it was a trace of lynching in the palace.
Fang Cai could still make Wu Tian's mouth stiff and continue to hold on, but Abi was brought to Mu Churan, and everything was over. Although Ah Bi was dying, she asked Mu Churan to ask someone to pour her a large bowl of ginseng soup, and she could slowly open her eyes. As soon as Ah Bi woke up, he saw Mu Churan, and as if he saw a savior, he crawled to Mu Churan's feet regardless of it, and begged him with a dumb voice, "Your Majesty, go and save the princess!" The queen mother wants to kill the slave and maid, and she has to lock up the princess, begging Your Majesty to go quickly......" said in a hurry, and there was another burst of grief and indignation, when even if he fainted again.
"The Imperial Doctor is here to save people!" Mu Churan frowned and ordered, "Don't let her die, be sure to save her for me!" ”
Abi was taken down by Haosheng for treatment.
Mu Churan walked to Leng Qingjian's side at this time, Leng Qingchen had never seen Mu Churan's appearance before. For so many years, Mu Churan has always been a filial son in front of her, except for the time when she took Wushisan before, she was really angry, but she was not so ruthless.
Leng Qingchen looked at Mu Churan's iron-like face, and in a trance seemed to see the first emperor walking towards her, she couldn't help but tremble slightly, and leaned back in the chair, as if looking for some comfort. Mu Churan's feet behind her were like 10,000 poisonous snakes spitting long letters, swimming towards her, locking her hands and feet, invisibly making her unable to move, and there was a sense of suffocating oppression.
Is this the power of the emperor?
Leng Qingchen was scared, and he felt scared from the bottom of his bones. Once upon a time, her son, who was still ignorant, had become an adult, and had ruled the world, despising everything, and the supreme power or the life of the people in the world was in his hands.
His dark brown eyes revealed not only a piercing chill, but also a terrifying killing intent. This kind of cold feeling has not been felt for many years, but today, from the eyes of his own son, he feels it again.
She took a deep breath, spat out a sentence tremblingly, and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to dispose of the mourning family too?" ”
A hint of disdain appeared on the corner of Mu Churan's mouth, but this smile did not have the slightest warmth, "Queen Mother, she even refused to let go of Qingwan, it was really disappointing to me." He sighed deeply and repeated, "What a disappointment for me! Every word was beaten on Leng Qingji's heart.
Without waiting for Leng Qingchen to explain, he turned around and ordered, "Take this dead eunuch to the Shen Punishment Division, and make sure he speaks!" Everyone went to search for me, searched this purple gold city, and also found Changle for me, and returned a sister to me safely! ”
Leng Qingchen knew that it was useless to say anything now. Mu Churan wouldn't have believed it at all, from the moment he stepped into the Chaolu Palace, he already knew everything, he was just here to confront himself and see how he reacted. This son, before she knew it, was so strong that she needed to look up.
She was a little unwilling, but she was helpless. Looking at Wu Tian, who was dragged down, her heart hurt a little, but she couldn't say a word begging for mercy again. When she rescued Wu Tian from the pure room, she should have expected that there would be no next time, and Mu Churan would not forgive them a second time.
The inadvertent hatred in her eyes made Mu Yunjing, who had been silently following Mu Churan's side, in full view.
Mu Churan dropped his sleeves and drove away from the Chaolu Palace.
But Mu Yunjing didn't follow in time, but waited until everyone retreated, stayed by Leng Qingjian's side, whispered something to her, and then turned around and left in a hurry.
No one knew what Mu Yunjing said to Leng Qingjian, but after they all left, when a bold palace person cleaned up, they quietly caught a glimpse of the expression on Leng Qingjian's face, as if he was crying, but he seemed to be laughing, in short, it was very weird, so that people no longer dared to take a second look.
After returning to the imperial study, Mu Churan discussed with Mu Yunjing, I am afraid that the matter of the imperial examination is about to be overcome. As long as Mu Qingwan is found, he may be able to know the truth of the matter, and the most important thing at the moment is to increase his efforts to search for Xiao He's whereabouts outside the palace.
Mu Yunjing asked for orders to search in person, but Mu Churan stopped him, "I have sent General Ji to join forces with the people of the city defense battalion to search carefully inside and outside the city, Ji Changge is careful in his work, I can trust him." Right now, Yunjing, you will stay in the palace and be responsible for searching and rescuing Changle. After all, Changle has been locked up for two days, and I don't know if I'm okay, and I'm very worried. ”
Mu Yunjing lowered his head, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly covered up the past. Respectfully answered, and withdrew.
Although Mu Qingwan's relationship with herself on weekdays is okay, compared to Xiao He, this intimacy is obvious, and Mu Yunjing is naturally more worried about Xiao He. But Mu Churan had already made this arrangement, and it was inconvenient for him to say anything more.
The matter of the imperial examination, at this point, even if Leng Qingchen denies it, as long as there is Mu Qingxuan's confession, this matter must be inseparable from her. Otherwise, she would not have made such a big move, trying in vain to cover up people's eyes and ears and destroy the evidence.
The only thing that made Mu Yunjing feel at ease was that who colluded with Leng Qingjian to kidnap Xiao He from the palace?
It's a pity that Mr. Murong is not in the imperial capital now, otherwise if you ask him, you will definitely be able to guess one or two with his resourcefulness.
It was late at night.
Xiao He lay on the bed, arrogantly occupying the entire bed, pretending not to see Murong take two benches on the side to make a simple sleeping couch. Murong lay on the erected stool and let out a long sigh deliberately.
Xiao He was embarrassed by his sigh, turned his head and propped his head, looked at him, and said, "You yourself want to keep me here, naturally you want to be hospitable, why don't you seem to have treated you badly, so complaining." Mr. Murong turned out to be such a small family, how could he lead the group to create a big thing? ”
Murong couldn't cry or laugh, but responded, "Yes, what Lord Xiao said is reasonable, didn't I say anything." You have a wound on your body, and you are my guest, so naturally this only bed is for you to sleep in, and it is only natural that you should be allowed to sleep. It's also a night for me to squeeze this old bone, so you don't have to feel sorry for it. ”
He obviously spoke easily, but he was sour, and Xiao He was laughed out loud by his self-deprecation for being an old bone. After laughing, he rolled over and fell asleep peacefully.
In the middle of the night, Xiao He was dazed and felt a little cold.
The quilt in this small shop is very thin, and the fabric is not covered with cotton wool, so no matter how you wrap it, it is still cold. She tossed and turned, pulling and pulling, as if she was sleeping in an ice cellar, the more she slept, the colder it became, but the sleepiness was so strong that she didn't bother to open her eyes.
She couldn't sleep here, and Murong couldn't sleep even more, and she couldn't stop coughing from time to time.
Finally, Murong couldn't bear it anymore, turned over from the stool, walked to the bedside, pulled her inside, lay down beside her with his clothes, and was not polite, and hugged her in his arms from behind.
