When the laughter stopped, Mu Jinchen looked directly at Fu Yuqing for the first time.

It's been five years, and his tolerance has reached the limit, and the moment she moved Shen Yan, she touched his bottom line.

Putting away his smile, Mu Jinchen's deep eyes exuded a cold light, and Fu Yuqing was shocked at the bottom of his heart.

It seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, making Fu Yuqing feel inexplicably empty.

She also thought that Mu Jinchen would ask her if she did it, but as a result, he still didn't say a word, walked past her, and left.

Looking at his figure gradually moving away, Fu Yuqing didn't want him to disappear in front of his eyes like this.

I don't know where the courage came from, Fu Yuqing took a deep breath and turned his head violently, knelt on the ground with a puff, and said loudly to Mu Jinchen:

"Lord, the raped palace maid is not yet sixteen, Yuqing begs you, no matter what, you have to give her justice.

"I know that Shen Yan has a lot of friendship with you, but the Son of Heaven is still guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law, not to mention that she is just a doctor in the rivers and lakes!

"Although she saved the little prince, but she is lustful and bold, she committed such evil deeds in this harem, does she still have the emperor, the queen, and the imperial power, and the royal law in her eyes?"

Speaking of this, Fu Yuqing was already a little excited, and the circles in her eyes were red unconsciously.

Mu Jinchen just thinks it's ridiculous, in the whole world, this ability to reverse black and white, Fu Yuqing dares to call the second, no one dares to call the first.

With a disdainful sneer, Mu Jinchen didn't even pause, and was about to continue walking.

However, Fu Yuqing's last words made him turn around.

"Lord Wang, Yuqing knows what you are thinking? Do you think that Shen Yan's incident was designed by me?

"I'm here to swear to heaven now, if there is evidence to prove that I framed Shen Yan, then I, Fu Yuqing, will kill myself and apologize in front of Shen Yan."

After speaking, Fu Yuqing kowtowed to Mu Jinchen to show his intentions.

Looking meaningfully at the person kneeling on the ground, Mu Jinchen's heart moved, he glanced at the Qilin, and smiled secretly.

"Qilin, this king is tired, let's go home."

With only one sentence, Mu Jinchen finally left the door of the prison of the Internal Affairs Office.

He had been gone for a long time, and Fu Yuqing was still kneeling on the ground and did not get up.

"County Lord, what did you just say?"

The girl next to her cautiously helped Fu Yuqing up from the ground, and asked softly.

The county lord is not a person without proportion, just now he even said that he wanted to apologize for his crimes, if he was really found out by the prince, then wouldn't he be able to take it back.

The corners of Fu Yuqing's mouth moved, and a confident and smug smile appeared on his face.

"Hmph, what if I say that? Even if the prince has the ability to reach the sky, can he still go to a dead man to speak?

"Either I don't do it, if I want to do it, I will do it, since I have already said it, if Shen Yan can't get out of this palace gate, she can only die here."

After listening to what the county lord said, the girl was still a little worried.

Then he continued.

"County Lord, yesterday Mama Liu and Mama Li didn't let her draw a charge, you said, let's continue to bend into a trick, or ......"

The Qingxin County Lord glanced back at the gloomy cell door behind him, and smiled again.

"No, let her stop for a day first, and when the wound heals, then torture her, and the bracelet, you must tell it, even if you cut off Shen Yan's hand, you can't break the bracelet, you know?

"As for my sister, there is no need to say anything, her mind is now focused on the matter where someone wants to harm the little prince, and she has no time to care about us at all.

"Over there in Dali Temple, I still have the ability to hold it down for a few more days, and when Shen Yan's confession is presented, I will blow a few words to my father, and Shen Yan will only have to wait for death."

All of this, Fu Yu calculated early in the morning.

Although she is just a county lord, she uses the words fox and fake tiger power like a fish in water.

She is not the queen, but she is the queen's sister, and in this harem, even the imperial concubine sometimes has to look at her face.

She is not the prime minister of the dynasty who holds a lot of power, but she is the prime minister's favorite little daughter, and many things have already been done for her before she has asked for them.

But even so, she still felt empty and pitiful.

Although she can be favored by the whole world, she can never get a word, not even a look, from that person.

The more he thought about it, the more sad he felt in his heart, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, Fu Yuqing still raised his head and left here with pride.

The other side.

Mu Jinchen and Qilin were walking briskly, and now he had to hurry up to confirm something.

It didn't even take half an hour, Mu Jinchen and Qilin came to the northernmost part of the palace, by the edge of a pond behind the imperial garden.

In the summer, the pond is heavy with water lilies, but in the winter there is only a white snow.

Because there was a snowfall last night, the scenery here is even more charming.

"Kirin, you say, if a person disappears out of thin air in a particular place, where will he go?"

Qilin naturally understood who this person the prince was talking about, because from yesterday to today, all the royal forest soldiers were quietly looking for the little plum in the imperial study in the palace.

However, I searched through the palace several times, but I couldn't find it.

At first, they all thought that the identity of this little plum was fake, but after inquiry, the eunuch at the gate of Longqian Palace confirmed that the person who took Mr. Shen away at that time was indeed the little plum in the imperial study.

A big living person, of course, will not disappear for no reason, except for being hidden, it can only be dead.

"Master, do you mean that Xiao Lizi has been wiped out?"

"Heh, originally, I'm not sure, who knew that Fu Yuqing actually knelt on the ground and swore that if she found evidence, she would apologize for her guilt, with her temperament, how could this be, it must be that all the witnesses are gone, so she would say so.

"Also, from the moment I found out that Shen Yan was gone, all the palace doors were sealed for me, whether it was a living person or a dead person, it was impossible to be sent out under our noses.

"And those dry wells that may often be abandoned corpses, the cold palace has also been searched, and nothing has been found.

"Then, this is the only place where a big living person can disappear like this."

After saying all these words, Mu Jinchen stepped out of his long legs and walked into the snow-covered pond.

The black boots, stepping on the thick snow, made a creaking sound.

He walked very slowly, as if he was using his own feet, feeling the ups and downs of the ice under the snow.

After several laps, he finally stopped.

Kirin hurriedly ran over, leaned over and began to use his hands to remove the snow.

Sure enough, the ice under the prince's feet was raised.

Mu Jinchen's brows, which had been frowning for a long time, finally relaxed a little.

Presumably, the little plum should have been abandoned under the ice of the pond.

However, it was not easy to get the body out of the frozen pond.

……

That night, a curfew was imposed in the palace for the purpose of checking fire prevention.

People who don't understand what's going on are a little incomprehensible, this harsh winter, what to check for fire prevention.

And those who know the ins and outs of everything, of course, understand that where is the Imperial Forest Army to check fire prevention, this is the prince cleaning the palace.

Regardless of the masters of the palaces or the palace maids and eunuchs, all of them are forbidden to travel.

In the imperial palace of the entire Zhongzhou Empire, it was deserted like a gorgeous tomb.

Fu Yuqing, who had been living in Fengyi Palace, looked at the cold moon in the sky, and had some bad premonitions in his heart.

Mu Jinchen: What is this doing? He sealed the entire palace, did he want to go to the prison to rob the prison and take Shen Yan away without permission?

If he really did this, it would be tantamount to rebellion.

No, he wouldn't do that.

But if the prince didn't go to the prison to rob the prison, then what is he doing now?

"Peach, is there any news?"

Holding the stove in his hand, Fu Yuqing asked the girl next to him.

The girl named Xiao Tao was also worried, but because of the curfew in the palace, she couldn't even come over with someone who could send a message, so naturally she didn't know anything.

"County Lord, there is no news, we don't even know the whereabouts of the prince."

"So, what about Iwatake? Didn't he have any news to come in? ”

The Yan Wu in Fu Yuqing's mouth is the first guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he is also Prime Minister Fu Bolun's most trusted confidant, not only brave and strategic, but also strong in martial arts.

It's just that after she asked, Xiao Tao still shook her head.

Although the Imperial Forest Army in this palace can't stop Yanwu at all, the guards stationed at the gate of the palace are all Mu Jinchen's guards, and those people are not on the same level as the Royal Forest Army.

It's all this time, and Yanwu hasn't come yet, so he really can't get in.

"County Lord, don't worry, the damned people are all dead, and it is impossible for the prince to find any evidence.

"However, county lord, Shen Yan is categorical that he can't keep it."

In fact, there is no need for Xiao Tao to say, Fu Yuqing has already thought about it in his heart.

"As soon as it dawns tomorrow, let the grandmothers pass, no matter what, let Shen Yan draw, and I don't want her to talk anymore, that sharp mouth is very annoying."

After saying these words viciously, Fu Yuqing turned around and entered the house.

In the quiet palace courtyard, the moonlight is bleak.

It's just that this long night doesn't seem to want to pass anytime soon.

When it is close to the time of the child, it is on the edge of the pond in the Imperial Garden.

A corpse dressed in eunuch uniforms and covered in blue and purple was carried out of the iced pool.

The light of the torch shone on the corpse's face, and under such an atmosphere, it looked even more gloomy.

"Master, the bones all over the body are broken, and the person who kills the mouth must be a good practitioner."

Kirin made a judgment after a preliminary examination of Xiao Lizi's body.

According to the past few days, this little plum is a good person, and he is only serving in the imperial study, and there is no other master except the emperor.

I have never had any contact with the lord of Qingxin or the queen.

Not only that, but the dead palace maid and this little plum are indeed fellow villagers.

Therefore, it is already certain that whether it is Xiao Lizi or the dead palace maid, they are all victims.

The series of tragedies that happened were all driven by a hand hidden in the shadows, and in this hand there was a sharp knife.

Mu Jinchen looked at the corpse and didn't say anything, just thinking.

Now the body has been found, but this does not prove that Shen Yan is not the murderer of the palace maid, and if Xiao Lizi's body is carried out, then it is likely that the wicked will bite him back, and then add a human life to Shen Yan's body.

For now, we can only ......

At this time, a hurried footstep interrupted Mu Jinchen's thoughts, and Lin Jing, the captain of the guard of the Royal Forest Army, ran in front of Mu Jinchen out of breath, unable to say anything in a panic.

Seeing this, the unicorn showed a hint of displeasure.

"What's the matter, the sky hasn't fallen, what are you panicking about?"

Although Lin Jing is already a four-rank guard in the palace, he used to be a small soldier under the Qilin seat, whether it was in the past or now, Lin Jing has great respect for the Qilin.

"Qi, Qi, Wang, Wang."

After relieving his anger for a long time, Lin Jing said such a sentence, which was still the most useless sentence.

"Getting to the point."

Qilin was almost angry with him, but Mu Jinchen didn't say a word.

"Lord Wang, the sky is really going to collapse, the emperor, the emperor is ......"

As soon as he heard the word emperor, Mu Jinchen's eyes widened.

"What's wrong with the emperor?"

The face that was indifferent just now instantly became nervous.

"Lord, I'm afraid the emperor is going to die, he has already fallen asleep just now, but suddenly he has abdominal pain, his painful face is bloodless, and the doctors are helpless after seeing it.

"The emperor decreed that you should be seen immediately, and said that you want to explain the future."

Lin Jing didn't care if he said that he didn't say anything rebellious, he finished saying these words in one breath, and his eyes turned red, the emperor is only forty years old this year, if there are three longs and two shorts......

After listening to Lin Jing's words, Mu Jinchen was silent for a while, and his face was already so heavy that he couldn't sink anymore.

After thinking for a moment, he said in a calm tone:

"Go and inform Suzaku to take over the defense of the capital immediately, and then go to inform General Zuo of the city defense battalion that the whole army is on standby in case of turmoil in the capital.

"Xuan all the officials above the second rank enter the palace and let them wait in the Longqian Palace.

"And ......"

Mu Jin paused, looked back at the body that had just been recovered, and then said:

"Take away the corpse, don't let anyone see it, and don't let any rumors leak out of tonight's events."

After explaining all this, he left the imperial garden with the unicorn with an awe-inspiring face.

Seeing that the New Year will be celebrated in a few days, who knows, the more things will happen the more the New Year passes.

I originally thought that on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, I would take my mother concubine out and keep the New Year happily with Shen Yan, Uncle Qin, and the family in the royal mansion.

As a result, it happened one after another.

It seems that this year will not be too peaceful.

Soon, Mu Jinchen and Qilin arrived in the Longqian Palace.

Outside the hall, a row of imperial physicians all knelt on the ground like a sieve.

And in the palace, the prince, the queen, the imperial concubine, the lotus concubine, the eldest princess, and the ladies of the harem have all arrived.

Except for the eldest princess, they all wiped their tears.

As soon as he saw Mu Jinchen come in, he cried even more fiercely.

"Lord, come in, the emperor, the emperor has been waiting for you for a long time."

The one who spoke was the prince's biological mother, that is, in the harem, in addition to the queen, the woman with the highest status, the imperial concubine Yan Beauty.

She sat next to the queen, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and said to Mu Jinchen.

In response, Mu Jinchen walked in quickly.

However, when he saw the emperor lying on the dragon bed, his face was pale, and he was lying on his side with a weak hunched body, he suddenly thought of something, but he was a little unsure.

"Brother Huang, how are you? Jinchen is coming. ”

With a low voice, Mu Jinchen knelt on the edge of the bed, he took Mu Jinming's sweaty hand, and his heart was heavy.

"Jinchen, give me a knife and let me die happily, I really can't stand it, it hurts too much......

"Quick, the royal brother begs you, the imperial brother really can't do it."

It's nothing more than a knife in the abdomen, thinking that he Mu Jinming is also a dignified seven-foot man, but he is still hurt, and he grinned.

The brocade underwear on his body was soaked with sweat.

Mu Jinchen twisted his eyebrows and observed the emperor's performance.

Why, how is this so similar to the time when Qilin was seriously ill a few days ago.

Could it be that the royal brother has the same disease as the unicorn?

Thinking of this, Mu Jinchen hurriedly called Qilin into the inner room.

When Qilin saw the emperor's condition, he was sure that the emperor and he were suffering from the same illness at that time.

So now, there is only one person who can save the emperor.

It's just that Shen Yan is now in prison and still has a murder case on his back, even if the emperor agrees to let Shen Yan treat him, the queen, the concubine, and the important ministers of the court outside will definitely not agree.

But now, the emperor's face is really not very good, I'm afraid I can't wait for the day when Mu Jinchen exonerates Shen Yan.

After pondering for a moment, Mu Jinchen suddenly stood up from the side of the bed.

For the sake of the emperor and the country, he can only suppress all his net worth.

In Qilin's ear, after ordering everything, Mu Jinchen walked out of the inner room again.

In that room, he just set his eyes on the queen.

Then, in front of everyone, he knelt down in front of the queen.

This kneeling frightened many people.

Mu Jinchen is the regent, a person who directly participates in the government and holds the imperial power, and in this country, the only person who needs to kneel is only two people, one is the emperor, and the other is the concubine Niangniang.

As a result, when he came out of the inner chamber, he knelt straight before the queen.

This sudden kneeling made Fu Yurong unable to even sit on the stool, she stood up and said in a somewhat eager tone:

"Old Fourteen, you, what are you doing here? If you have anything to say, just tell Hongu directly, you ......"

Mu Jinchen raised his head, with a determined look on his handsome face.

"Queen Mother, half a month ago, my subordinate Qilin suffered from the same disease as the imperial brother and was in danger.

"I thought that the unicorn would be unable to escape, but by chance, this king ran into a doctor who claimed to be a ghost hand doctor.

"In a humble inn, the miracle doctor saved the life of the unicorn."

Words, Mu Jinchen only said this.

Next, he just had to wait for the queen's words.

Maybe it was because she was too anxious, and the queen didn't think much about it, so she said directly:

"Really? Where's the miracle doctor? Is it in the capital? Old Fourteen, do you mean, the emperor still has salvation? ”

As soon as the queen's words came out, all the cries in the house stopped, and the ladies of the palace were waiting for Mu Jinchen's answer with hope.

Only the eldest princess Mu Anran really couldn't control herself, and almost laughed.

Fortunately, no one paid attention to her, otherwise when the emperor was about to die, she would not cry but laugh, which would definitely be a big rebellion.

However, having said that, she is now more interested in this Shen Yan.

Mu Jinchen saw that the heat was almost over, so he continued:

"Yes, as long as you can invite the ghost hand doctor, the emperor will definitely save him."

As soon as he heard this, Fu Yurong smiled excitedly.

"So, where is she now? What are you waiting for, bring her here? ”

Mu Jinchen looked at the queen calmly, his face was still calm, but what he said still made the expression on the queen's face freeze.

"The divine doctor is not only in the capital, but also in this palace.

"She is, Shen Yan."

Shen Yan, Shen Yan.

When Fu Yurong heard these two words, cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.

Yesterday, she put this beast in prison, and today, the prince asked her to come to the emperor to see a doctor.

Co-authored, Mu Jinchen just said a lot of things to set her up!

It turns out that saving the emperor is fake, but saving Shen Yan is real.

With a cold snort, Fu Yurong sat back on the chair, picked up the tea bowl next to him, and took a sip unhurriedly.

"I said, Lord Wang, when has this been, are you making fun of this palace? Shen Yan raped the palace maid first, and killed people later, that kind of scum, beasts, don't even deserve to lift shoes for the emperor, you actually said that she should come to the emperor to see a doctor?

"When I see her now, I feel like I've stained my eyes."

After speaking, Fu Yurong threw the tea bowl on the ground, and the hot tea splashed Mu Jinchen's body.

In fact, the queen's current reaction, Mu Jinchen had expected it before she said these words.

Of course, he knew that it was impossible for the queen to agree to let Shen Yan come to see the emperor.

All he did was buy time for himself.

At this moment, the hall was silent, and those concubines didn't even dare to breathe.

First, he was afraid of the queen, and second, he was naturally afraid of Mu Jinchen.

However, at this time, the Qilin had silently returned to Mu Jinchen's sight.

and nodded at Mu Jinchen.

Although the eye contact between the master and servant was very inconspicuous, it still did not escape the eyes of the eldest princess who had been observing everything.

It seems that her younger brother is going to do something big.

It was at this time.

Because the emperor was seriously ill, there was chaos in the palace, and the curfew order was canceled.

The group of people who walked out of the Fengyi Palace, taking advantage of the bright sky, were hurriedly holding the queen's token, and walked quickly into the prison of the Internal Affairs Office.
