"Mother, don't say it! Father, is a son, not a mother's business! Mo Youjia looked panicked.

"Shut up", Qian Guiren scolded Mo Youjia, then turned his head and said to the emperor, "That antidote was stolen from the concubine the day after Jia'er hid the prince in King Jia's mansion. ”

"Mother, don't say it!" Mo Youjia didn't know what to do at this moment, he was terrified.

Listening to the words of the thousand nobles, the emperor sneered, and then, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Qianguiren, Erchen took the liberty to ask, why do you have an antidote?" Mo Yixuan asked.

Qian Guiren closed her eyes, her face was sad, and she said the words that she was unwilling to say: "Because I used to be a member of the Ancient Night Hall. ”

Although the emperor also thought of it, when he heard Qianguiren say this, he was still shocked into a cold sweat, shocked that such a dangerous person was by his side. At the same time, he was also a little happy in his heart. Fortunately, this Qiangui is too inconspicuous, and he has rarely gone to her palace for so many years.

"Thousands of nobles, the rules of the ancient night hall, life is a person of the ancient night hall, death is the ghost of the ancient night hall. If you want to leave the Ancient Night Hall, you have to die! Yan Che said coldly.

Qian Guiren opened her eyes, she didn't answer Yan Che, but kowtowed heavily, then straightened up and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, now the concubines don't dare to deceive anymore." The concubine used to be a member of the ancient night hall. Yan Che was right, if you want to leave the Ancient Night Hall, unless you die. However, the concubine fled. At that time, there was a fierce dispute within the ancient night hall. The concubine got the opportunity and escaped at the risk of death. Later, the concubine entered the palace and became the emperor's beauty. Later, she gave birth to Jia'er and became a nobleman. Over the years, even if she gave birth to a son, her concubines never invited favors. Because the concubine just wants to live a simple life in this deep palace. ”

Qian Guiren glanced at Mo Youjia and said, "Your Majesty, Jia'er accidentally discovered the identity of the concubine. In order to save the crown prince, he stole a bottle of antidote from his concubine. ”

"Father, my mother has already left the Ancient Night Hall before entering the palace, please ask my father to be gracious!" Mo Youjia was anxious.

"Your Majesty, Jia'er is not young. Ever since he knew that his concubine was a member of the Ancient Night Hall, he was always worried. ”

Qian Guiren paused, and then said: "Your Majesty, the concubines have received the grace of the saint, and they are very grateful in their hearts. The concubines will never hurt the emperor, and the concubines don't want to hurt anyone else. However, even though the concubine wanted to break with the past, it was an indisputable fact that the concubine had worked for the Ancient Night Hall. At this point, the concubine is willing to accept any punishment. I just ask the emperor to spare Jia'er for the sake of Jia'er's young age! Your Majesty, the concubines beg you! ”

At this time, thousands of nobles were already in tears.

"Mother, mother is not wrong", Mo Youjia cried while kneeling and crawling over, holding the hand of a thousand nobles, "Father, mother has been simple and low-key all these years, never arguing with others, never provoking right and wrong. Father, does a person's past really have to affect a lifetime! ”

"Father, the thousand nobles have been cautious all these years, and there is nothing wrong with them." Mo Hanyun said.

Mo Youjia glanced at Mo Hanyun gratefully.

"Father, the sons and daughters feel that the thousands of nobles are hiding the past, which is insignificant compared to the most important thing at the moment." Mo Yixuan said.

"According to the words of the thousand nobles, the old twelve are not from the ancient night hall. Who is the hall master of the Ancient Night Hall that Yan Che is talking about? The emperor looked at Yan Che.

Yan Che looked at the emperor and said, "Ten princes, Mo Yichen." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he pushed the teacup in front of him off the desk.

"You talk nonsense! How could my old ten be the hall master of the Ancient Night Hall! If you don't tell the truth, believe it or not, I'll kill you right now! ”

The emperor's anger did not make Yan Che have the slightest fear.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates really listened to it in the Ancient Night Hall. If the emperor doesn't want to believe it, he will kill his subordinates. King Chen wants the throne, so the first thing he wants to get rid of is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Yan Che's gaze was very indifferent, and he seemed to be ready to be killed.

"The wolf's tooth sword at the foot of Juling Mountain, the eagle eye lamp in Yupo Lake. It is to ask who lives here, and the depths of the ancient night are full of blood. Your Majesty, what Yan Che said is true", Qian Guiren said, "Not long ago, King Chen came to find his concubines, and it was in the middle of the night. He knew the past of his concubines, and he also knew that Jia'er was the weakness of his concubines. King Chen wants to blackmail his concubines, ask his concubines to be the eyeliner of his harem, and help him become the crown prince. ”

Mo Yichen. Mo Hanyun recalled the Mo Yichen in his memory, knowledgeable, gentle and kind, and he couldn't connect with someone like the hall master of the Ancient Night Hall. However, when he thought of his secluded Yu Qianling, he felt that there was nothing to be surprised about.

"Father, the tenth brother has always been gentle and polite, and he treats people sincerely. Since Qian Guiren and Yan Che both identified him as the hall master of the Ancient Night Hall, why didn't the father announce the tenth brother into the palace and let them confront him in front of him. Mo Hanyun said.

The emperor nodded and glanced at Gao Yi.

"The minions obey." Gao Yi hurriedly walked out.

Qian Guiren suddenly pulled open his neckline, exposed his shoulders, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the mark of the Ancient Night Hall. Even the hall master will have this. ”

When the emperor saw the three small dots like mung beans, he remembered that he had always thought they were birthmarks.

Gao Yi hurriedly left the palace, and when he arrived at King Chen's mansion, he told Mo Yichen the emperor's message. At this time, Mo Yichen was reading in the study. He had no choice but to put down the book and follow Gonggong Gao into the palace.

Walking on the way to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Mo Yichen asked Gonggong Gao: "Gonggong Gao, what is the matter with my father looking for this king, so mysterious?" ”

The minion didn't dare to say much. The prince will know when he goes. Gao Gonggong said.

Suddenly, a palace maid came out of a door, holding a bowl of soup in her hand. Mo Yichen didn't have time to dodge and collided with the palace maid.

The bowl of soup spilled on Mo Yichen's right shoulder.

Mo Yichen let out an "ah" and cried out in pain.

"Lord Wang", Wanyue hurriedly stepped forward and scolded the palace maid, "How did you walk, so careless!" ”

The palace maid hurriedly knelt down, with a panicked face: "The slave maid is from the imperial dining room, and she is about to send sweet soup to Concubine De. The slave did not mean it. Beg the prince to spare his life! ”

Mo Yichen smiled bitterly, looked at Gonggong Gao, then looked at the maid, and said, "Forget it, this king is fine." You can be careful in the future. Clean up this place. Grandpa Gao, let's go. ”

"Lord Wang, do you want to invite a doctor?" Gao Gonggong asked.

Mo Yichen took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the sweet soup off his clothes, and said: "This king doesn't feel tight, it's just that going to see his father like this is a loss of honor in front of the palace." ”

"Lord, when I arrived at the Heart Cultivation Hall in a while, the prince went to the side hall to change clothes first. The slave will order someone to send a piece of clothing. ”

The three of them went to the Temple of Cultivating Hearts.

After the palace maid cleaned up, she stood up and looked at Mo Yichen's back with an indifferent expression.

After changing clothes, Mo Yichen came out of the side hall and entered the main hall.

Walking into the Heart Cultivation Palace, Mo Yichen looked at the thousands of nobles kneeling on the ground, and doubts flashed in his eyes.

"Son-in-law, see father." Mo Yichen knelt down.

He raised his head, looked at the emperor, and said, "Is there something urgent about my father and the emperor summoning his sons in such a hurry?" ”

Mo Yichen saw Yan Che fiercely, and said with a surprised face: "Yan Che, you ...... Oops! ”

Mo Yichen raised his arm and pointed at Yan Che, but suddenly he groaned and covered his shoulder, his expression painful.

The emperor looked at Mo Yichen suspiciously, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard Gao Gonggong say: "Your Majesty, the palace maid in the imperial dining room recklessly bumped into the prince and spilled the soup on the prince's shoulder. The prince said that it was not in the way, so he did not ask for a doctor. ”

"It's hot, ask the doctor to take a look." The emperor said with concern.

Mo Yixuan glanced at Mo Hanyun meaningfully.

Mo Yichen's right shoulder was red and swollen, not to mention the birthmark, he couldn't see anything.

Because Mo Yichen was burned, this matter will be over, even if it is good, maybe it will leave a scar, and it will not be possible to see if there is a mark of the ancient night hall at that time.

The emperor didn't have the heart to interrogate, so he used Mo Yichen's scalding as an excuse to send everyone away.

However, the emperor did not intend to give up, but put it on hold for the time being. He didn't want to believe Yan Che, but he had to prepare for the worst.

Qianguiren is fine for the time being. Because the emperor doesn't want to make things known to everyone. Yan Che was secretly detained.

Walking out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Mo Hanyun and Mo Yixuan walked at the back. They stood on the steps and watched Mo Yichen get farther and farther away.

"Starling, this is too coincidental." Mo Hanyun said.

Mo Yixuan smiled coldly and said, "It's unreasonable. The ninth brother, the palace maid who spilled the hot soup on the shoulders of the tenth brother. ”

"Starling mean to check that palace maid?"

Mo Yixuan nodded: "Be quick." ”

Mo Yixuan and Mo Hanyun stood together, comparable in appearance and temperament. It's just that Mo Yixuan has been traveling abroad, and he has a unique temperament that Mo Hanyun can't compare.

Mo Yixuan was dressed in a pale green robe embroidered with bamboo leaves. The hair is simply curled up with a white jade crown. The ink-colored anagram belt is adorned with a jade unicorn pendant and a navy blue sachet. His eyebrows are like a beautiful ink painting. A high nose bridge, thin lips, and wheat-colored skin.

Mo Hanyun nodded to Mo Yixuan, and then hurriedly left alone.

Mo Yixuan glanced back at the Heart Cultivation Hall behind him, and shook his head helplessly.

Mo Hanyun was still one step too late. He sent someone to the imperial dining room, but he did not find the palace maid. After inquiring, I found out that he was clumsy, and when he passed through the Imperial Garden, he fell into the lake and drowned.

This clue was broken, and Mo Hanyun sorted out his thoughts as he walked. He believed in Yan Che.

Mo Yichen returned to King Chen's Mansion, and as soon as he entered the study, his originally gentle expression suddenly became cold.

Wanyue closed the door, turned around and said to Mo Yichen: "Lord Wang, that palace maid has been disposed of." ”

"Well done, only the dead can keep secrets." Mo Yichen sat down at the desk and closed the book that had been placed on the table before leaving.

"Lord Wang, the emperor didn't ask anything today, does it mean that the emperor doesn't believe the words of Yan Che and Qianguiren?" Wanyue asked.

Mo Yichen shook his head lightly and said, "Father naturally doesn't want to believe it. However, the king felt that he should start to be wary of the king. Such a major matter involves his son, and he will definitely be suspicious. A group of wastes actually let Yan Che escape and returned to the imperial capital alive. And that thousand nobles, who actually dared to betray this king! ”

Mo Yichen gritted his teeth and said, he was murderous at this time.

"Lord Wang, do you want to kill Yan Che and Qianguiren?" Wanyue asked.

"If it weren't for the king's prediction, Yan Che would be secretly imprisoned. The mouth of the Gozen is very strict, and it is not easy to find out. And that thousand nobles can't touch her. Otherwise, you just don't admit yourself. Mo Yichen said.

After Mo Yichen finished speaking, he gently tapped the table with the tip of his index finger.

"Although my father cares about this king, this matter will definitely put a thorn in his heart."

***

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

The emperor faced a table of folds and had no intention of commenting on it.

"Gao Yi, it seems that I need to make a set myself." The emperor said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, you won't be suspicious of Lord Chen, right?" Gao Gonggong asked.

The emperor nodded and said, "Of course I hope that what Yan Che said is not true. However, looking at the expression of his voice talking to a thousand nobles, it doesn't seem to be fake. The best thing to do is to try it out for yourself. I'm old, but that doesn't mean I can't do it. Early tomorrow morning, I will release the news, saying that I am not feeling well, and for the stability of the Daning Dynasty and the common people in the world, I have decided to establish a prince. I have already prepared the holy decree, and I put it in the Qianqing Palace, behind the plaque on the dragon chair. Do you understand? ”

"The minions obey." Gao Gonggong said.

Following.

As soon as the news came out, all the princes went to visit. The emperor lay on the bed, breathing heavily, and from time to time opened his eyes and said a word or two.

Everyone thought that the emperor was sick with anger.

In the dead of night, a dark shadow flashed at the gate of the Qianqing Palace. Mo Yichen walked in cautiously, looked at the plaque hanging high, flew up, and got the holy decree hidden behind. He walked out of the main hall, opened the decree, and read the words on it in the faint moonlight.

Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Since I ascended the throne with the edict of Emperor Taishang, all the important affairs of the military state, the employment of people and the administration, have not been tireless, dare not be self-indulgent, Xu Ying Hong, and have been conscientious all night. Mo Hanyun, the ninth son of the emperor, to which the providence belongs, hereby abide by the first edict, carry the ceremony, bow down to public opinion, and hereby tell heaven and earth, Zongmiao, Sheji, grant the treasure, establish as the crown prince, and be in the East Palace, with the unity of ten thousand years, and the heart of the four seas. The crown prince is hereby ordered to hold the seal and ascend to the Wenhua Palace, divide the affairs of the government, and raise the army and supervise the country. Everything that the hundred divisions played, all the crown prince decided. Chin this.

Mo Yichen frowned, thinking, it was really him.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps around. The palace guards and the Ouchi Forbidden Army surrounded them at once.

The emperor, who was still lying on the bed during the day, looked sick, but now walked out energetically and angrily.

"Old ten, I really didn't expect you to come back and steal the holy decree. What's next? Do you want to steal the jade seal, or directly forge the jade seal and forge the holy decree? ”

Only then did Mo Yichen understand that it was fake that the emperor was sick in bed, and this was just a trap. He was so anxious that he didn't see the flaw.
