On a new day, the sky is clear and the sun is shining on the earth. The Imperial Capital began to be lively again.

Mo Hanyun walked out of the Cloud King's Mansion and raised his head to look at the sky. He was dressed in an aqua blue robe, shimmering in the sunlight.

Mo Hanyun got into the carriage and headed towards the palace.

Yu Qianling wore a veil and a plain dress, blended in with the crowd, and went out of the city.

She glanced back at Dijing and smiled indifferently.

After the morning court, Mo Hanyun went in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Mo Yichen walked out of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace and stood on the steps to look at Mo Hanyun's back. He was dressed in white like snow, and he looked like he was not stained with dust.

Mo Yichen raised his head and glanced at the direction of the sun. I was wondering why I hadn't seen news from the harem for the past few days. This shows that the concubine is still alive and well. People who are eye-catching can't get out, and it's like there's a pimple in their hearts.

Thinking of this, Mo Yichen walked down the steps.

Mo Hanyun came to the Heart Cultivation Hall and knelt down.

"The son of the emperor greets his father." Mo Hanyun said.

"Hurry up." The emperor was very happy when he saw Mo Hanyun cheering up.

Mo Hanyun stood up and said, "Erchen was not very sensible before, which made my father sad and made my father angry. In the future, the sons will only abide by their duties, do what they should do, and share their father's worries. ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "In a few days, your sixth brother will set out on the expedition." Although this time it is mainly defensive, it is difficult to guarantee that the Jin Kingdom will not sneak attack. ”

"The Jin Kingdom has repeatedly violated my Daning border, father, although we will not take the initiative to provoke a war, but we must not be merciful." Mo Hanyun said.

"I think so, too, and I'd better hold the territory first. If you take the initiative to attack, the side will say that we would rather rely on the strong to bully the weak. The emperor said.

Leaving the Heart Cultivation Palace, Mo Hanyun walked towards the military plane.

When he entered the military plane, he saw Mo Zaining frowning, and there was a map on the table in front of him.

Mo Hanyun walked over.

"Sixth brother."

Mo Hanyun's voice interrupted Mo Zaining's train of thought. He looked up and breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was a little tired.

"You're here just in time, help me analyze the terrain here." Mo Zaining said.

Mo Hanyun looked at the map, pointed to a place above, and said, "Sixth brother, I think this place can be deployed......"

The two discussed.

Yaohua Palace.

Zilan was watering flowers in the yard with a watering can. The concubine came back from outside and went straight to her palace.

Qian Guiren sat in front of the window, watched the concubine walk over, and then his eyes fell on the watering can in Zilan's hand.

The concubine's face is not very good, and her spirit is not as good as before. The whole person looks a little embarrassed.

The concubine felt sleepy and tired, and after lunch, she lay down and prepared to take a nap.

When I closed my eyes, I started to have nightmares again.

In the dream, evil spirits haunt me. I woke up in a cold sweat.

Qianguiren doesn't plan to go to Xinfei today, because she has calculated it, and it will be almost the same today. Sure enough, the screams of the concubines were heard up and down in the Yaohua Palace.

"Don't come, don't come, help, help!" The heart was huddled in the corner of the bed, clinging to the wall, her eyes widening with horror and fear.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Gu Lan was at a loss when he saw the appearance of his concubine.

The concubine pointed at Gu Lan and said loudly: "Don't come here!" Don't come here! ”

After speaking, the concubine picked up the pillow and threw it at Gu Lan vigorously.

The thousand nobles picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, looking indifferent. She watched as Gulan trotted out with a panicked look on her face, nearly tripped and fell to the ground. He watched Imperial Physician Li and his apprentice hurriedly walk in.

Zilan had already finished watering the flowers and walked in.

"Master, looking at the situation, nine times out of ten, the concubine is crazy."

"This poison doesn't kill people, it only makes people delirious." Qian Guiren said.

Zilan was a little worried: "Master, will anyone find out?" ”

Qian Guiren smiled and said, "No, don't worry." ”

The news that the concubine had gone crazy soon spread throughout the queen.

The emperor sent people to search the palace in an attempt to find any clues, but the result was in vain.

After searching the palace, Qianguiren looked at the watering can used to water the flowers, and was a little stunned. It turned out that she sprinkled poison in the water for watering the flowers. This has been the case day by day for the past few days. As long as the concubine passes through the courtyard, she can inhale the poison. It only takes a few days for the poison to accumulate.

"Zilan, this Yaohua Palace is finally quiet. I only knew patience before, but I didn't want to be so happy to get rid of a nasty person. Now, the concubine has gone crazy. There is no antidote to this poison. Qian Guiren said.

Zilan smiled and said happily, "Master, this is her retribution." She was always looking for trouble, and she spoke harshly. The master did not take her life, and he was already very merciful. In the future, I won't have to look at her stinky face again! ”

Qian Guiren smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I really don't need to look at her stinky face anymore, and I can't hear her harsh words anymore." ”

It's night.

In the study of King Chen's mansion, Mo Yichen sat in front of the desk, his brows furrowed.

Where the hell did she go? Mo Yichen had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

"Lord Wang, do you want to send more people to find it?" Wanyue asked.

Mo Yichen shook his head and said, "No, the more people there are, the more attention they will attract attention." She is not in the Yunwang Mansion, where will she go? ”

"The subordinates are incompetent, and they haven't found out the whereabouts of Yu Qianling." Wanyue said.

"It's not your fault. Few people knew about her return to the Yunwang Mansion at all. You can't ask. This king felt that the ninth brother should know where she went. ”

Mo Yichen paused, and then said: "Brother Jiu has cheered up now, and this king can feel the sharp energy on his body. He is indeed the greatest threat to this king. ”

Cloud King's Mansion.

Lifeng hurriedly walked in, and then handed the letter in his hand to Mo Hanyun.

Mo Hanyun took the letter, opened it and looked at it, and was happy in his heart: "It's the letter of the starling!" ”

Then, Mo Hanyun put away his smile, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his eyes became a little heavy: "He said that he found Yan Che and will return to Beijing in a few days." Judging from the day he wrote the letter, he will be able to get to the capital in a few days. ”

"If you find Yan Che, you will be able to know the truth about the assassination of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Lifeng said.

"But the eldest brother is no longer there." Mo Hanyun felt a wave of sadness in his heart.

A few days later, the eighth prince Mo Yixuan returned.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Yan Che knelt underneath, his face haggard.

"His subordinates did not protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone, his subordinates are willing to go with the Crown Prince and hope that the Emperor will be fulfilled. After speaking, Yan Che kowtowed heavily.

The emperor snorted, his eyes sharp: "I want to figure out what the hell is going on!" Eighth, you just said where did you find him? Let's be clear. ”

"Yes, Father," Mo Yixuan said, "Erchen found Yan Che in a farmhouse. At that time, it was in Juzhou, and when passing by a village, Erchen was thirsty, so he went to a family at the entrance of the village to ask for a glass of water to drink. The old man of that family heard that Erchen was from the imperial capital, so he talked to Erchen. He mentioned that a man in the village had gone to Juling Mountain three months ago to collect medicine and found a man covered in scars and unconscious under the cliff. The man kindly carried the man home to take care of him. This man is also from the imperial capital. Erchen was curious, so he went to take a look, but he didn't expect it to be Yan Che. ”

After hearing Mo Yixuan's death, the emperor's eyes fell on Yan Che again.

"Father, listen to what Yan Che has to say." Mo Hanyun said.

"Yan Che, where did you go on the day the prince was assassinated? Who were those assassins? The emperor asked sharply.

Yan Che raised his head and said, "Back to the emperor, those assassins are from the Ancient Night Hall. On that day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was hit by an arrow, and his subordinates rode horses to take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace. Unexpectedly, there was an ambush on the way back to the palace. The ancient night hall is full of first-class masters, and his subordinates can't resist it, so they can only escape with His Royal Highness the Prince. His subordinates met Prince Jia's carriage, so they had to stop Prince Jia and hand over His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to him. Then the subordinates went down and lured the Assassin away. ”

"Old Twelve?" The emperor's eyes were full of suspicion.

"Father, it seems that this matter is not simple. Erchen remembered that when the eldest brother came back, he was unconscious. The doctor said he had signs of poisoning. At that time, Erchen only knew that he was sad and didn't think about it, but now it seems that the arrow was poisonous, and someone detoxified the eldest brother. Mo Hanyun said.

"Father, the twelfth brother has always been simple-minded and will not lie. It's better to find the twelfth brother to ask. Mo Yixuan said.

The emperor nodded and said, "Gao Yi, can the old twelve be in the palace?" ”

Father-in-law Gao hurriedly said: "At this hour, Prince Jia should accompany thousands of nobles in Yaohua Palace. The minion will go. ”

After speaking, Gonggong Gao hurriedly walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"You go on." The emperor pointed at Yan Che and said.

"Your Majesty, the two princes, and later their subordinates were defeated by the people of the Ancient Night Hall, and they were arrested back." Yan Che said.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, "Their target is the crown prince, what are you arresting for?" ”

Yan Che replied: "They fancy the martial arts of their subordinates, and they want their subordinates to join the Ancient Night Hall. The subordinates did not obey and were placed under house arrest by them. Later, I finally found a chance to escape. Later, the emperor knew about it. ”

"Father, this ancient night hall is full of people with strong martial arts. It's just that Erchen doesn't quite understand. Yan Che, the people of the Ancient Night Hall will definitely look for you everywhere if they find out that you have escaped. Why did you stay in a farmhouse for three months? Mo Hanyun expressed the doubts in his heart.

"Lord Wang, those people in the Ancient Night Hall, what they said is good, they are a group of people with strong martial arts, and if they don't say it well, they are just rats in the gutter, and they can't see the light. Many things, they don't dare to be blatant. The farmer hid his subordinates from them. And they don't dare to kill people casually. Because once the matter is made big, people from the court will come, and I am afraid that the old nest of the ancient night hall will not be guaranteed. Your Majesty, the old nest of the ancient night hall is on Juling Mountain. Yan Che said.

The emperor frowned, his eyes full of disgust: "I am going to send someone to destroy this ancient night hall!" ”

"Your Majesty, my subordinates overheard an amazing news in the Ancient Night Hall. The hall master of that ancient night hall is one of your princes, the prince of the hall. Yan Che said.

With this sentence, the emperor's jaw was about to fall. With a look of anger on his face, he slammed his fist on the desk.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Believe it or not, I'll kill you now! ”

Yan Che suddenly sneered: "It's not a pity for the subordinates to die, but the emperor, the subordinates are telling the truth." ”

Mo Hanyun's surprise was no less than that of the emperor, and he looked at Mo Yixuan. Mo Yixuan's expression was calm, obviously, he already knew.

"Father's anger", Mo Yixuan said, "When Erchen found out, he was also so surprised. However, this matter is very important, and it may be related to the storage position, so please be sure to investigate it clearly. Mo Yixuan said.

"Father, what the starlings said makes sense. What's more, if what Yan Che said is true, wouldn't his father's situation be very dangerous? Mo Hanyun said.

At this moment, Gao Yi hurriedly returned.

"Son-in-law, see father." Mo Youjia knelt down, and he was surprised when he saw Yan Che.

The emperor looked at Mo Youjia, raised his hand, and motioned for him to stand up.

"Old Twelve, what were you doing on the night of the prince's assassination?" The emperor asked.

A little panic flashed in Mo Youjia's eyes: "Back to my father, my mother was unwell that day, and my father allowed me to take care of my mother and leave the palace very late." ”

"Then after you left the palace, did you meet anyone?" The emperor glanced at Yan Che.

"Nope!" Mo Youjia didn't dare to look into the emperor's eyes.

The emperor glared at Mo Youjia and said, "Really? Don't lie, old twelve, or I won't trust you again! ”

Mo Youjia panicked all of a sudden, he was already timid and not good at lying.

"Father, is it ...... It was Erchen, it was Erchen who hid his eldest brother and detoxified him. Mo Youjia hurriedly said.

"The poison in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the unique poison of the Ancient Night Hall, and it is not spread to the outside world, only the people of the Ancient Night Hall have the antidote. Dare to ask why there is an antidote to Lord Jia! Yan Che said word by word, loudly.

Mo Yujia didn't answer, or he didn't know how to answer at all.

The emperor looked at Mo Youjia with a gloomy face.

Mo Hanyun looked at Mo Youjia's appearance, as if he wanted to hide it, but he didn't want to lie.

"Old Twelve, what do you have to do with the Ancient Night Hall? Or are you from the Ancient Night Hall? The emperor looked at Mo Youjia with a cold gaze.

"Your Majesty, Jia'er has nothing to do with this matter, and he is not from the Ancient Night Hall."

Ignoring the obstruction of the eunuch at the door, the thousands of nobles forced their way in.

It turned out that when Gonggong Gao went to Yaohua Palace to invite Mo Youjia, Qianguiren felt that something was not right. She was not at ease, so she quietly followed, but she didn't expect to hear this outside the hall.

Qianguiren knew that it was too difficult for her child to lie, and even if she did, it would be difficult to lie. She had to force her way in.

Qianguiren knelt down and said, "The concubine broke into the Heart Cultivation Palace, the concubine is guilty, please calm the emperor's anger." ”

"Qianguiren, you said that the old twelve has nothing to do with the ancient night hall. Then tell me why the old twelve have an antidote! The emperor couldn't hold his breath anymore, and he looked angry.

Qian Guiren took a deep breath, she thought that she could live this life in a low-key and simple way, but she didn't expect that this day would still come.
