Chapter 197: Killing Horses and Saving People

On May 15, the crown prince was attacked outside the city and died, and the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the murderer.

When Lin Mo and Feng Yichen heard the news, Feng Yichen was painting Lin Mo and the child in the courtyard.

At first glance, when he heard the report from Steward Jiang, Feng Yichen's pen paused, leaving a pool of colored ink on the painting that was almost completed, completely ruining the painting.

Lin Mo hugged the child and felt a shock in his heart, his eyes full of disbelief.

He didn't die of a heart attack, but he died at the hands of his brother.

Although there is no evidence, everyone knows it, but there is no way to know which brother it is.

Seeing this, Sister Wu hurriedly stepped forward to take the child away.

Lin Mo got up and asked Steward Jiang, "How is the palace now?" Did Your Majesty send someone to find out the murderer? ”

Steward Jiang bowed his head respectfully, "His Royal Highness the Prince's body has just been transported back to the palace, everyone is silent, no one comes forward, according to the people in the palace, those killers left our prince's things, but His Majesty did not express his position, and everyone did not dare to say much, and they all guessed His Majesty's meaning." ”

It's really hard to guess the old emperor's thoughts, but it's the past that some people want to frame Feng Yichen, after all, Feng Yichen is in the limelight now, especially when his son still holds half a tiger talisman in his hand.

It's normal for someone to want to pinch him.

But the old emperor knew that there was evidence belonging to Feng Yichen at the scene, but he suppressed this matter, which is difficult to understand.

If he takes advantage of this to cure Feng Yi Chen, then Feng Yi Chen will be speechless, and he can take this opportunity to take back the talisman.

Lin Mo was very sad about the death of the prince, after all, it was the person she worked hard to save, and she was killed like this, she always felt that all the hard work she had spent before was in vain.

It stands to reason that Feng Yichen should go into the palace immediately at this time to have a look.

Lin Mo looked at him who was silent, Feng Yichen had been holding a pen since he heard the news, his long eyelashes covering his deep eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Lord Wang......" Steward Jiang asked tentatively, "Do you want to prepare to enter the palace?" ”

Feng Yichen came back to his senses, put the pen in his hand on the pen holder, and his voice was flat and could not hear any emotional ups and downs, "Prepare the car." ”

He walked to Lin Mo's side, took her hand, and advised: "Momo don't go out in the mansion, wait for this king to come back, there is such a big thing in the palace, this king is estimated to come back later, if I don't go back at night, you will go to bed early, let the desperate guard outside, I will let Yun Xing stay in the Tilting Pavilion in the next few days." ”

"Hmm." Lin Mo nodded, "Don't worry, don't worry about me, I won't run around during this special time." ”

Feng Yichen took a deep look at Lin Mo, his eyes were full of unease, he gently stroked her hair, and walked away from the Tilting Pavilion.

Looking at his departing back, Lin Mo's brows furrowed tightly, his stomach churned, and he turned around and held the tree behind him and vomited.

I vomited for a long time but didn't vomit anything, which was very uncomfortable.

She couldn't guess who the crown prince's death was related to, it was possible that it was the sixth prince King Qi, the seventh prince Xun Wang and the eighth prince Xiangwang.

There are only three of them, but all three of them are possible.

said that there were clues unfavorable to Feng Yichen at the scene, obviously trying to frame him, if the emperor didn't believe Feng Yichen, he couldn't tell it clearly.

Lin Mo was unwell, and Feng Yichen went back to the room to lie down after leaving, but because he was worried about Feng Yichen, he couldn't sleep over and over again.

Yun Xing's identity is special, and Lin Mo is not worried about letting him go to the palace to inquire about the news, so he can only let him call Steward Jiang.

Lin Mo asked Steward Jiang to send someone to the palace to inquire about it to see what the situation in the palace was now, and whether Feng Yichen would be in any danger.

It wasn't until dark that the people sent by Steward Jiang to the palace came back to report that the prince had passed away, and all the princes and princes had to keep a watch for the prince in the palace for three days and could not return.

The emperor did not summon Feng Yichen alone, let alone mention the evidence found at the scene of the crown prince's assassination.

In the eyes of others, the emperor undoubtedly shielded Feng Yichen openly and secretly, and once again pushed Feng Yichen to the cusp.

Lin Mo didn't think so, Lin Mo felt that the emperor was not stupid, and he wouldn't be able to see such an obvious frame, so he just saw it, and couldn't bear to wronged Feng Yichen.

Moreover, he felt that the prince was going to die a long time ago, and it was Lin Mo, who was the princess of Yu, who saved him, if Feng Yichen wanted the prince to die, it would be good if Lin Mo didn't let Lin Mo treat him, why bother doing it many times?

From tomorrow, the noblewomen will enter the palace gate to mourn for the prince.

The day of the great mourning begins, and the temples and temples all ring the bell 30,000 pestles.

Lin Mo understood, she would follow everyone into the palace to mourn the prince when she got up early tomorrow.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not too late, Lin Mo went to the Molan Pavilion next door to take a look at the little guy, and told Sister Wu a few words, she didn't have time to come over during the day these days.

Early in the morning of the second day, Steward Jiang prepared mourning clothes for Lin Mo and also prepared a carriage.

Lin Mo ate some breakfast, then put on a mourning dress, and took Liu Lu to the carriage prepared by Steward Jiang and rushed to the palace.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I happened to meet Princess Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing approached Lin Mo's side with the help of Lu Wu, and said with a strange smile: "Isn't this Princess Yu, she has to come to cry and mourn when she is pregnant, and she is not afraid of losing the child after standing for a long time." ”

Lin Mo didn't even look at her, walked past her with Liu Lu, and mocked: "The prince is smiling so happily during the funeral, I'm afraid it's not that he is slow to die." ”

"You ......" Shen Qingqing gritted her teeth angrily by her attitude, and after thinking about it, if she was really angry, she would weigh her heart, so she took two deep breaths and endured it.

Lin Mo's words reminded her that the prince's smile during the mourning period was indeed criticized by others, and it was more likely to provoke Long Yan's anger, and it was also possible to die in the end.

The wives of the official family and the ladies of the royal family all wept outside the palace, and the princesses stood in front with their heads, ranging in rank from the largest to the smallest.

Lin Mo happened to be standing behind Shen Qingqing.

There was a suppressed cry in the hall, and Lin Mo could tell from the voice that it was the queen's. The cry and its forbearance made people cry sadly when they heard it.

On this kind of occasion, even if it has nothing to do with the crown prince, you will feel sad under the atmosphere.

Lin Mo lowered his eyes, looked at his nose and nose, and looked at his heart, mourning for the death of the prince in his heart.

The crying in the hall gradually stopped, Lin Mo stood up until someone exclaimed, and then the queen was helped out of the hall.

The queen was already very weak, and she fainted with grief.

Lin Mo exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, feeling that the queen was also very pitiful.

She has not sighed for a long time, and at this time she feels that it is really not easy to survive in this palace where the weak eat the strong and good people do not live long.

A father-in-law came out and shouted, Lin Mo was immersed in his inner world and didn't hear it clearly, so he saw that the ladies around him were holding handkerchiefs to hide their faces and sob.

Lin Mo took a deep breath, lowered his eyes, and didn't squeeze out a single tear.

It's not that she doesn't feel sad, it's that she doesn't feel sad to that point.

She has known since she was a child that tears are the most useless thing and she has become accustomed to not shedding tears, which will make it really difficult for her to cry.
