Chapter 344: Conflict in the Temple (Part II)
The commander of the Jingwei Army knelt on the ground, his heart was very afraid, he was promoted from the position of deputy commander, and he couldn't figure out the emperor's mind at all, this time the matter involved several princes, I don't know if he was just promoted and was about to prepare for the funeral, he sighed helplessly, and told all the things he saw: "Back to the emperor, in addition, there are traces of prey and bows and arrows by the waterhole, and nothing else has been found." ”
Mo Junming turned his head to look at Mo Junling, and there was a smile in his eyes: "Didn't the second emperor brother say that he went to investigate the matter of the invitation, did he also participate in the safari?" Father, the second emperor must have wanted to find out the flaws, so he intended to cater to them, and asked his father not to blame. ”
Obviously pleading, but secretly pointed out that Mo Junlang and others participated in the safari, which completely offset Mo Junling's previous foreshadowing. You said earlier that you went to the outskirts of the city just to investigate the invitation, but later you found that there was prey on the ground, which is obviously the beginning of the hunt, in any case, this crime of filial piety is to be confirmed.
Mo Ao looked at Mo Junwei with an ugly face, with a trace of inexplicable defense in his eyes, his performance just now was too good, even he believed that this incident was a conspiracy, but he didn't expect that this second son actually participated in the safari, made an unfilial move and said that he was extremely innocent, even he was deceived, if one day this son wanted to rebel, would he be beaten to the palace gate, he was still kept in the dark.
Mo Junwei's heart jumped, this time he was too careless and let the prince grab the handle.
"Back to the emperor, Qingya has a few words that she wants to report to the emperor."
"Speak."
Mu Qingya's expression was full of paleness, the wound on her hand was still bleeding outward, and the gauze was wet, and she was obviously extremely weak, but her face was full of firmness: "Back to the emperor, Qingya has to distinguish one or two for the second prince this time." When I waited for the other village, only the second princess was there, and I didn't find anything wrong after checking everywhere for a long time, so I had to go to the forest to check, because there were many wild beasts in the forest, and I had to dress neatly and wear bows and arrows. ”
Mo Junqing said: "Father, this time I have to thank the second emperor brother, fortunately he has protected him many times, so that the sons can come back safe and sound, no matter what, this time the matter is not right for the sons, please punish the sons and daughters." ”
"Father," hearing Mo Junqing's plea, Mo Junwei hurriedly spoke, "Father, this time the matter is that the son-in-law is not good, the third brother's body has not been recovered for long, and he is already confused about things, and the son-in-law is not thoughtful, please ask the father to punish the son-in-law." ”
Mo Junming gritted her teeth secretly and hated Mu Qingya thoroughly, she repeatedly ruined her good deeds, she really damned it. She diverted the topic, and Mo Junwei helped to ask for guilt, and the two sang and harmonized, completely turning the nature of the matter around, as if he was a brother and a friend, but instead set off him as a wicked person who persecuted his brother.
Mo Ao looked at Mo Junling and Mo Junqing who were kneeling side by side below, and his anger calmed down a little, but his suspicions were not dispelled, the relationship between the two brothers was very good, when Mo Junqing was not mentally complete before, Mo Junling did his best to each other, and never let this younger brother be bullied, and now seeing the two competing to plead guilty and maintain each other's appearance, the jealousy in his heart became more and more obvious, Mo Junling's fief was originally the strongest, although this plague was implicated and his strength was damaged, but he did not shake the foundation, if these two sons united, There is still that person in the court who can resist them: "This time the matter is really weird, Chen Yu, this matter will be handed over to you to investigate......"
Mu Qingya's eyes moved, and she looked at the prince with an anxious face, and her eyes deepened slightly.
At this time, a guard ran in: "Back to the emperor, Jianzhang Palace suddenly caught fire, the fire was very big, and the emperor was asked to move." ”
Jianzhang Palace is a place specially prepared for the prince, because Mo Ao was very fond of Mo Junming before, so Jianzhang Palace is very close to Guangning Palace, and then after Mo Ao announced the abolition of the prince, I don't know why Mo Junming was not moved out, and now that the fire is on fire, Guangning Palace is easy to be affected.
Mo Ao frowned: "What did you say?" How could Jianzhang Palace catch fire again? ”
The drought has been too long, the people are almost in an anxious mood, and cases of fires are not uncommon, but how long has it been since the construction of Jianzhang Palace was completed from the last fire, and it was on fire again? Why did this fire go to Jianzhang Palace.
Mo Ao's heart was full of anger, and he frowned and ordered, "Go and see." ”
Mo Junwei stepped forward and asked: "Father, it's better for the sons to preside over the firefighting, it's too unsafe for you to go." ”
"No, I want to go and see why this Jianzhang Palace is on fire all day long." After speaking, regardless of everyone's requests, he walked out directly.
Mo Junming was slightly stunned, and then slowly raised the corners of his lips, how could Jianzhang Palace catch fire again? He subconsciously looked at Mu Qingya, his eyes full of doubt and scrutiny. When Mu Qingya walked past him, she suddenly reached out to hold her arm, and asked in a low voice, "Is it you who did it?" ”
Mu Qingya raised her eyes, and her eyes were cold: "The eldest prince thinks too much, how can Qingya go to Jianzhang Palace to set fire to the saint in Guangning Palace?" Could it be that Qingya will not be able to do the doppelganger technique? ”
Mo Junming chuckled, lowered his head and approached Mu Qingya's ear, a treacherous light flashed in his eyes: "Mu Qingya, don't play any tricks with me, do you want to burn Jianzhang Palace?" Okay, I'll let you burn it, but you have to watch the rest of the matter, don't be too disappointed. ”
Mu Qingya raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Thank you for the reminder of the eldest prince, Qingya will take a good look at it." ”
"County Lord." Mo Junqing walked to the door and found that Mu Qingya hadn't followed, and turned his head to look at Mo Junming, "What else do the eldest brother and the county lord have to say?" ”
"Hmph." Mo Junming snorted coldly, didn't say anything, walked directly to the door, and chased after Mo Ao.
The smile on Mu Qingya's face faded away, and from Mo Junming's words just now, she faintly felt that something was wrong.
"Qingya, but what did he say?" Mo Junming asked with concern.
"It's okay, Junqing, have you ever done anything in Jianzhang Palace?" Mu Qingya asked suddenly.
"I've planted two nails there, but they're too secret to be discovered."
Mu Qingya frowned, and the uneasiness in her heart became more and more serious: "What about Mo Junming?" ”
He ...... He must have done a lot of tricks in it, but the second emperor brother acted carefully, so there shouldn't be anything. ”
"Let's go, things have changed." Mu Qingya's face changed when she heard this, she didn't have time to explain anything, she strode outside the hall, and Le Qi hurriedly followed, standing behind her.
Mu Qingya turned around, motioned for Le Qi to follow, and whispered: "Go and tell Concubine Li Guifei the emperor's whereabouts, so as not to worry her." ”
"Yes, miss." Le Qi nodded hurriedly and left with light steps.
In a Guangning Palace, you can smell bursts of burnt questions coming over, and bursts of smoke go straight into the sky, and people can't help but be afraid when they see it.
Wen Hai helped Mo Ao, feeling his increasingly unstable aura, and he was very anxious.
Around Jianzhang Palace, the guards and eunuchs splashed the flames back and forth, but the effect was not great.
"Your Majesty, don't move forward, the dragon body matters." A delicate voice came, causing Mo Ao to turn around, just in time to see Xia Jingyan, the concubine who was being helped by the palace maid.
"Why are you here? Don't know what's dangerous here? ”
Xia Jingyan saluted, with faint beads of sweat on her forehead, and her eyes were full of deep worry: "Back to the emperor, the concubines always feel flustered in the palace, and even the children in their wombs are not steady, so I want to come to see the emperor, and I don't want to hear that the emperor is here." ”
Mo Ao frowned, and scolded the palace people behind him: "You don't know how to persuade your master, how can you let her move around and hurt the prince?" Don't help your master to sit down beside him. ”
Mo Junming rushed over and saw that Mo Ao did not walk to the gate of Jianzhang Palace, and suddenly hated in his heart, he had already prepared a good show in Jianzhang Palace, and he waited for Mo Ao to go up and staged it, but he didn't arrive first, this Li Guifei actually interrupted her plan. Turning his head to look at Mu Qingya, he thought that Concubine Li appeared so coincidentally, thanks to this girl, but did she think that she would win in this way?
Mo Ao was helping Xia Jingyan to walk aside, when a commotion suddenly appeared, causing him to look back.
I saw a person who was full of flames rushing out of the Jianzhang Palace, the flames were burning very fiercely, and his whole person was wrapped in flames, like a fire man, followed by the guards and eunuchs holding the basin of water.
",, catch up with him."
"Don't run, roll twice, roll twice on the ground."
The man seemed to hear this, and rolled on the ground twice with a heavy fire, extinguishing a lot of flames, and the people next to him took the opportunity to splash water, and finally extinguished the flames on his body.
Mu Qingya frowned and saw that the clothes on the person's body had been destroyed a lot, and the exposed skin had large and small blisters, which looked very terrifying.
"Your Majesty, please help your life."
Mo Ao was originally extremely displeased, but when he heard this person's voice, he waved his hand to stop the guard next to him who wanted to pull him down: "What's the matter with you?" ”
The man seemed to be too injured to stand up, so he only crawled forward twice in a lying position, leaving a long blood mark on the ground: "Back to the emperor, the slave's name is Zhou Da, who was originally a gardener who managed the flower garden in the palace, but he didn't want to suffer the pain of burning himself, please save the slave." The slave doesn't want to die, the slave still has a mother and younger brother at home, and he has to rely on the slave to support the family, how can he die like this. ”
"What do you say? Do you know why this fire started? Mo Ao motioned to the palace maid to help Concubine Li aside, and looked at Zhou Da on the ground with eyes like torches.
"When I returned to the emperor, the slave knew that Li Qing made it, and he wanted to kill me."
"Why did he kill you?"
Because the slave knew the evidence that he wanted to kill the eldest prince, one day the slave was pruning the flower garden and found him connected with a palace maid, who handed him a paper bag, saying that it was going to go down to the great prince's food. The minion was frightened for a while, and accidentally made the flowers tremble, and he found the minion, and the minion wanted to escape, but he was caught, and he locked the minion in the utility room, and then lit a fire to burn the minion to death, but the fire was too strong, and it spread, and the minion took advantage of the chaos to escape. Please ask the emperor to save the life of the minion. ”
