"Uncle Fourteen, what are you doing?"

At this moment, a somewhat immature voice came from the door of the upper study.

This was followed by the sound of scrambled footsteps.

The sword in Mu Jinchen's hand hasn't been released yet.

When the crown prince of the dynasty, Mu Yunxuan, the five first auxiliary ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, and Zhang Fusheng of Dali Temple, were already standing at the door.

"Old, Fourteen, Fourteen......"

Mu Jinming naturally saw the people who came at the door, and his eyes were already bloodshot.

It didn't matter if he died, but he was unwilling to let the traitor trap his fourteenth brother like this.

However, in the end, he didn't even say a word to explain for Mu Jinchen, and he lost his breath.

"Ninth brother, ninth brother......"

Mu Jinchen hugged Mu Jinming's body and collapsed on the ground at a loss.

In this case, he didn't have the heart to think about whether he had been wrongfully accused of becoming the murderer of the king.

He just hugged Mu Jinming's body, and his heart hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.

All his childhood memories are related to Brother Jiu.

Although Brother Jiu was involved in those cases eighteen years ago, Brother Jiu has never been sorry for himself.

He couldn't believe that Brother Jiu died in front of him like this.

And his hands were all covered with the hot blood of Brother Jiu.

"Oh no, no, the regent Mu Jinchen murdered the emperor, come on, come on......"

"Why, Uncle Fourteen, why do you want to do this, if you want this country, you can take it, why do you want to kill my father!"

"It's a big rebellion, it's a big rebellion......"

“……”

The sound in my ears is getting more and more chaotic, and there are more and more people in the study.

When Lin Jing heard the news, he rushed as soon as possible.

I saw that surrounded by everyone, the prince was covered in blood and hugged the emperor's corpse, not moving.

said that the prince killed the emperor, and Lin Jing didn't believe it.

But the situation at the scene had to let him make some disposals.

It's just that the Imperial Forest Army is all the prince's soldiers, and no matter who it is, they don't want to do anything to the prince.

"Lord ......"

Lin Jing walked to Mu Jinchen's side, looking embarrassed.

And at this moment, the death knell in the palace announcing the death of the emperor has sounded.

Closing his scarlet eyes, Mu Jinchen gently put down the emperor's corpse, and closed the emperor's eyes that were not closed.

He slowly stood up, his cold gaze sweeping over the faces of everyone in the upper study.

Suddenly, the temperature in the room dropped suddenly.

In addition to the Imperial Forest Army, whether it was the civil servant or the military general, or the prince who was already crying with tears on his face, they all collected their voices and looked at him with an extremely frightened look.

And all Mu Jinchen can do is to calm himself down.

After a moment of silence, the sad expression on his face faded and replaced it with the same coldness as ever.

In that cold tone that made people shudder in his heart, he said to everyone present:

"The emperor was killed, the crown prince immediately supervised the country, six books, and the minister of military aircraft assisted the government.

The suspect, Mu Jinchen, was immediately escorted to the prison of Dali Temple, and ordered Dali Temple to bring three divisions to find out the truth. ”

Although Mu Jinchen is now a suspect in the murder of the emperor, he is still the undoubted regent.

There is nothing wrong with making decisions about how to deal with yourself.

There are all human and material evidence, and it is not easy for him to easily clear his name in front of these people.

He can only put his innocence on Zhang Fusheng.

After his words landed, the old ministers in the room first looked at each other, and then they all bowed their heads to express their orders.

Before the matter came to light, the prince was still the prince.

After explaining all this, Mu Jinchen first glanced at the ninth brother on the ground, who was still lying in a pool of blood, and then glanced at Zhang Fusheng, whose face was like dead ashes, and then walked out of the upper study with heavy steps in front of everyone.

Outside, the early autumn sun is still a little dazzling.

I thought that after today, I would be able to take Shen Yan and my mother to leave the capital.

It seems that he is going to break his promise again.

In fact, with his ability and ability, even in this forbidden palace, it is easy to get out.

But he couldn't.

As soon as he comes, if he escapes, he will be convicted of killing the king.

Second, he has a wife and a mother, and a group of brothers who followed him from birth to death, if the truth of this matter cannot be ascertained, then it is definitely not only his family who is unlucky.

How many will be implicated, and how much impact it will cause, is simply unimaginable.

One more point, and the most important.

The queen bee has been removed, Fu Xiang is dead, who else in this world can turn out such a monstrous wave in this palace?

not only caught him off guard, but also directly forced him into a dead end.

This trick is really accurate and ruthless, he must find him out with his own hands.

For a while, chaotic thoughts filled Mu Jinchen's mind,

Just when he was 'escorted' to Dali Temple by the Imperial Forest Army, Shen Yan, who got the news, hurried over.

In the long palace alley, Shen Yan looked at the blood stained on his white clothes from a distance, and his worried heart was about to fall.

And Mu Jinchen looked at Shen Yan, and his heart was unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Lord Wang, what happened? I rushed over when I heard the death knell, and they were all preaching, you killed the emperor? How is this possible? ”

Shen Yan walked to Mu Jinchen's side as he spoke, he had always been clean and spotless, but now, his body was so embarrassed.

distressed, he took out a cotton handkerchief from his arms and went to wipe Mu Jinchen's hands.

But the blood on his hand had dried up, and Shen Yan couldn't wipe it off.

Mu Jinchen grabbed Shen Yan's hand and stopped her movements.

"Yes, what they said is true, the emperor is dead, and I, in their eyes, am the murderer.

I'm sorry Yan'er, it was because I was careless that I was framed by a traitor.

You remember, during my absence, you must be very careful, and wherever you go, you have to take a guard with you, you know?

The enemy is dark and I am clear, and before we know who the opponent is, we must be cautious and cautious. ”

The person he was most worried about was Shen Yan, and what he was most afraid of was that without him by his side, the traitor who planned all this would do Shen Yan again.

But when Shen Yan heard the four words that the traitor was framed, her back was cold, isn't it all over, why are there still traitors?

But then again, if it weren't for the traitor, how could the prince be wrongfully murdered by the emperor.

I thought that the world was too peaceful, but I didn't expect that there would be such a big crisis waiting for them here.

However, Shen Yan still smiled and nodded to Mu Jinchen.

He must have been sad and reproachful now, and she didn't want to upset him because of herself anymore.

"Okay, I know, Master Zhang, I will definitely return your innocence.

Don't worry, I will take care of my mother and take care of my family. ”

Shen Yan is not an ordinary woman who only cries when she encounters things, and the two of them have experienced so many things.

This time, she will definitely not back down.

Her husband was unjustly imprisoned, no matter what method she used, she must let the dead man open his mouth and return his innocence.

Looking at Shen Yan's firm and brave gaze, Mu Jinchen's frowning brows finally relaxed.

This is not the place to speak, and he doesn't want to embarrass Lin Jing.

After patting Shen Yan's hand, he spoke again:

"Go back, I have to go."

"Hmm."

Even though he was reluctant, Mu Jinchen still let go of Shen Yan's hand.

Turning around, he took a big stride and left.

Seeing the team escorting him gradually moving away, suddenly, Shen Yan had a particularly bad premonition.

Why, why is it so much like saying goodbye to this scene?

And it's getting stronger.

What should she do to defuse this crisis?

With an extremely anxious mood, Shen Yan walked out of the palace, and outside the palace, the unicorn was beside the carriage of the palace, anxiously waiting for Shen Yan.

As soon as she came out, Qilin never had a particularly emotional fluctuating face, and at this moment, he was already nervous.

"Niangniang, the prince?"

"This is not the place to talk, let's go home."

Fortunately, the Qilin was not followed today, if as usual, the Qilin had been following Mu Jinchen's side, then now it was their master and servant who were imprisoned in the prison.

It's just that the news of the king's murder spread too quickly.

While the whole country was grieving, the regent Mu Jinchen, plotting to usurp the throne and disobeying the king, was already well known.

Although the Mu Wangfu was not seized, and the people in the palace were not taken away, the Mu Wangfu was surrounded like an iron bucket at the moment, and it could only enter and not exit.

Shen Yandu walked to the door of his house, and when he saw this situation, he didn't let Qilin stop.

Instead, he hurried all the way to the lord's mansion.

She can't let herself be passive, she has to find an opportunity to enter the palace to give the emperor an autopsy.

Therefore, she can only trouble her sworn brother again.

It just so happened that Jiang Can had just gotten the specific news and knew everything that happened in the study, and he knew even more details than Shen Yan.

After letting Shen Yan drink a cup of flower tea and suppress the shock, Jiang Can slowly opened his mouth.

"Sister, whether others believe it or not, I don't believe that my brother-in-law will murder the emperor.

He has held the army for so many years, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, he wants to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, he has already planned, and he will not wait until today.

It's just that, this time, it's really weird.

The news sent from the palace said that the emperor knew that the prince was going this morning, so he sent everyone inside and outside the study.

After that, I don't know what happened to the two of them in the upper study.

And those ministers who happened to bump into the scene of the prince killing the emperor with his sword in his hand went to teach the prince a lesson.

It is said that these people didn't want to go to the study either, but when they heard that the prince came to bid farewell to the emperor today, they wanted to say goodbye to the prince, and who knew that they would bump into each other.

If this is a coincidence, it can be regarded as a coincidence, but if it is not a coincidence, then the person who can control the time so accurately must be in the palace.

It's just that I can't figure out one thing, in the news I got, the prince stabbed the sword into the emperor's body with his own hands.

He wasn't controlled, he wasn't crazy, so why would he do that? ”

After telling Shen Yan this large paragraph, Jiang Can showed a very incomprehensible expression.

Shen Yan was silent for a while before she raised her eyes.

She thought of all kinds of possibilities in her heart, but she denied them one by one.

Thinking about it in the end, she finally came to a conclusion.

It's not that the prince is controlled, the person who is controlled should be the emperor.

As for what method was used, whether it was related to Gu worms, it can only be concluded after the autopsy.

Thinking about it, he opened his mouth to Jiang Can with some embarrassment.

"Brother, Shen Yan has something to ask you for."

When Shen Yan said this, she was already embarrassed.

Jiang Can has done enough for her, and he didn't get rid of her at this time, which is even more rare, and as a result, she still has to inch in.

As soon as he heard this, Jiang Can was not happy.

"Sister, we are brothers and sisters who worship in front of the master, your business is naturally my business.

Also, there shouldn't be anything I can't solve in this Zhongzhou, even if it's a country outside the border, your eldest brother, stomping your feet, will set off a whirlwind.

So, no matter what, it doesn't hurt if you say it. ”

This is really not Jiang Can's bragging, he opened the entire world's money bank, if he is unhappy, he can paralyze the economy of a city overnight.

It's just that what Shen Yan asked for was really too difficult.

"I, I, I want to ......"

After hesitating, Shen Yan still didn't say it.

Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, Jiang Can was a little impatient.

He slapped the fan directly on the table.

"Shen Yan, don't you treat me as a big brother, what are you doing, it's not like your character at all."

"I, I, I want to give the emperor an autopsy."

As soon as the words came out, Jiang Can was stunned.

He had carefully investigated Shen Yan before, and he had long heard how amazing Shen Yan's autopsy was.

I've always wanted to see and see what a chance, but I didn't expect him to be this request.

Thinking about it, he sank his face.

As soon as Shen Yan saw his expression, he knew that this matter must be difficult to handle, if even he couldn't help her, then she really didn't know what to do.

However, when Jiang Can said what answered her, her eyes widened.

"What a big deal I think, isn't it just an autopsy for the emperor?

My brother told you that in this world, there is nothing that money can't solve, but my brother also has a small request, and I have to go with you. ”

“……”

Shen Yan felt that he might have heard it wrong.

She wants to give the current emperor an autopsy, it is a dragon body, you can't touch it when you're alive, and after you're dead, you can't be desecrated.

Once this matter is known to others, then this crime is definitely no less than killing the king.

It's too late for normal people to hide from this kind of thing, but Brother Jiang Can actually wants to follow along!

For a while, she didn't know what to say.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Jiang Can was happy.

"I'll go and make arrangements, and the two of us will enter the palace tonight."

In Shen Yan's opinion, something more difficult than ascending to the sky was easily done by Jiang Can.

In the huge Longqian Palace, a huge golden coffin is placed in the center of the main hall.

Shen Yan also thought that there would be a lot of people guarding the spirits here, but there was no one.

Whether it is because there is no custom of keeping spirits in this country, or because Jiang Can has cleared this palace, Shen Yan does not know.

Because the conditions were not very convenient, Shen Yan could only climb into the coffin and conduct a preliminary autopsy on the emperor.

It's not easy to do this step, but if you dissect it, forget it.

Squatting in the wide golden coffin, Shen Yanzai carefully examined the emperor's head, face, neck, and tongue.

No matter how she looked, the emperor did not show any signs of poisoning,

Biting his lower lip, Shen Yan was still unwilling to check again, but the result was still nothing.

Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly thought of a solution.

Judging from Fu Bolun's underground world, Gu worms like salt, if the emperor really has Gu in his head, then salt may lead it out.

Thinking about it, Shen Yan took out a piece of salt from the toolkit he was carrying and put it next to the emperor's ear.

This is her last resort, if there is nothing, then the emperor's corpse will have no value.

Time passed minute by minute, and Jiang Can, who came with him, kept yawning.

I thought the autopsy was so exciting, but it turned out to be so boring, it was better to sleep at home.

But at this moment, Shen Yan's exclamation came from the coffin.

"Girl? What's wrong? ”

Jiang Can thought that the emperor had cheated the corpse, he looked inside, and saw Shen Yan extremely excited with a bamboo tweezer holding a small black worm.

"Found it, that's it."

With a look of surprise in his eyes, Shen Yan quickly put the little insect in an empty bottle.

After tidying up the emperor's clothes, Shen Yan jumped out of the coffin again.

"Brother, we can go."

Although this bug was found, it was still impossible to exonerate Mu Jinchen with just one bug.

However, since the Gu worm has been discovered, there is no need to worry about not finding it, and the person who gave the emperor the Gu worm.

Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, even if it is hidden deeply, if you do something bad, it will also leave clues.

It's just that Shen Yan's mood is still heavy.

Obviously, the queen bee is dead, so is there another person in this world who can use witchcraft?

If this person has always existed, why didn't he come out when the queen bee died?

Or is he here to avenge the queen bee?

Unconsciously, Shen Yan clenched the small bottle containing the black Gu worm.

In the deep night, he and Jiang Can, under the leadership of a little eunuch, quietly left the Longqian Palace, as if they had never been there.

However, Shen Yan didn't know that Mu Jinchen didn't have much time left for her.

In the Tianzi cell of the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison.

Mu Jinchen sat on the bed and looked at the cold moonlight shining in from outside the iron window.

He thought back to what had happened today.

He was sure that the emperor's body was uncontrollable at that time, and his eyes before he died were full of guilt.

Looking at it again, the bruises on his wrists, Mu Jinchen's brows furrowed even deeper.

He knew how much strength the emperor had, but at that time, the strength he had when he pinched his wrist was completely beyond his ability.

Could it be a Gu worm?

Shen Yan must have been thinking about the same question with him now.

It was at this time that the footsteps came from far to near.

Mu Jinchen thought that what he saw would be Zhang Fusheng Zhang, but what he saw was His Royal Highness the Prince, Mu Yunxuan.

For his nephew, who had just turned sixteen, Mu Jinchen didn't have much of a concept.

He was born to the imperial concubine, and he has been very well-behaved since he was a child, and in the palace, his sense of existence is also very low.

Moreover, Mu Jinchen has been fighting outside all the year round, and there are very few opportunities to contact this nephew.

However, no matter how shallow the relationship is, Yun Xuan is also the son of the ninth brother, and like Yun Huan, he is his blood relative.

At this time, face to face, Mu Jinchen really didn't know what to say.

Looking at Yun Xuan's young face, after a long time, Mu Jinchen opened his mouth a little choked.

"Yun Xuan, Fourteenth Uncle, I really didn't kill your father."

When the words landed, Mu Jinchen lowered his head a little ashamedly.

His explanation is really too pale, he has seen such a thing with his own eyes, not to mention that Yun Xuan doesn't believe it, even Mu Jinchen himself doesn't believe it.

But the answer he received was completely unexpected.

Just listen, Du Yunxuan replied in a very old city tone.

"I know."

“……”

Mu Jinchen looked at Dui Yunxuan incredulously, but Dui Yunxuan's face showed a smile like a mystery.

"In this world, the person my father trusts the most is you.

I still remember that time when he had a lot of abdominal pain and was about to die, the last person he called in was not me, not anyone, but you.

He told you at the time that after he died, he would hand over this country to you.

Hum! It's unbelievable to think about.

Counting the emperors of the past dynasties, they are all passed from father to son, and son to son, how can it be passed on to brothers?

I'm really afraid that one day, after my father's funeral, it will not be me Du Yunxuan who will announce the succession to the throne, but the fourteenth uncle, Mu Jinchen.

That's right, you're already leaving the capital.

But who knows if you'll ever come back?

In order to get a good night's sleep in the future, I had to make this choice as a last resort.

Anyway, sooner or later, my father will die, he will die today, or tomorrow, he will always die.

It's better to let him be used by me before he dies, and help me get rid of you. ”

As if he was talking about something inconsequential, Twilight Yunxuan's tone was extremely relaxed.

But in his eyes, there was a black belly that was very inconsistent with his age, the old city.

After hearing all this, Mu Jinchen felt like falling into an ice cellar.

He never knew that His Royal Highness the Prince, who didn't like to talk and always had a shy smile on his face, was so thoughtful.

I wanted to say something a few times, but I still didn't say it.

A wave of despair suddenly rose in his heart.

Before the three divisions could be tried, Mu Yunxuan had a showdown with him, and he should probably have already calculated it.

Even if he told the whole truth, Mu Jinchen had no possibility of overturning the case for himself.

"Hmph, Uncle Fourteen, actually, I know you more than my father.

I know that even if my father wants to give you the throne, with your temperament, you will not want it.

However, there is one person that I really can't reassure about.

He is Mu Yunhuan. ”
