Chapter 503: A Death Row

"Since the emperor has said so, then I will believe it for the time being, and I hope that the emperor will give us a satisfactory answer in three days, not only for us, but also for Mingyue Kingdom."

After Chu Ruoyan said these words, she took Li Luobing and left the imperial study. Tuoba Lie looked at their backs and slapped his hand on the table fiercely, it was the first time he had been threatened like this.

"Your Majesty." The eunuch next to him looked at Tuoba Lie cautiously, he also heard the conversation just now, and he knew that the current emperor must be angry.

"Go and call the officials of Dali Temple." In fact, Tuoba Lie already had a few candidates in his heart, but he didn't want to track it down thoroughly.

There should be a lot of people involved in this, and if this matter is really to be thoroughly investigated, it will cause a lot of shock to Izumo Province.

But if the news of the Bright Moon Kingdom's soldiers pressing the realm spreads to the people, it will cause everyone's panic, and in comparison, Tuoba Lie can only choose the former.

After several officials from Dali Temple came to the imperial study, Tuoba Lie briefly explained to them the idea of investigating the case, and several people suddenly hesitated.

"Your Majesty, is this true?"

These people were stunned when they heard that Tuoba Lie asked them to investigate the prime minister and Princess Tuoba, no matter which of these two people was a red person in front of Tuoba Lie, why did he suddenly want to investigate these two people thoroughly?

"What I said is naturally true, today's maid of the Bright Moon Country has an accident in our Izumo Country, what if the next accident is the princess of Anxiety? If Izumo and Mingyue go to war, will you be able to afford it? ”

After listening to Tuobalie's questioning, the doubts in the hearts of these people dissipated a lot, indeed, they had no way to imagine what it would be like for the Cloud Kingdom and the Mingyue Kingdom to go to war?

"If you can't afford it, just do what I say, no matter who you find, don't act rashly first, tell me the news as soon as possible, and then make a decision after I give the order."

"Yes."

In Tuoba Luoxia's palace, she was enjoying lunch, and Mama Liu hurriedly pushed open the door.

"The princess is not good." Mama Liu gasped for breath.

"What's wrong?" Tuoba Luoxia frowned after hearing her words, she finally enjoyed an afternoon meal today, but Mama Liu came in and said such unfortunate words, which made her good mood disappear in an instant.

"The old slave heard that the emperor was suddenly going to start investigating the little maid's poisoning and death."

"Father wants to investigate this matter?" When Tuoba Luoxia heard this, the spoon in her hand paused, "Didn't my father ignore this matter before?" ”

It was because Tuoba Lie didn't care about this matter that Tuoba Luoxia stayed so at ease, but this Tuoba Lie's sudden move. made her a little worried, did her father know something?

"The specific situation of the old slave is not very clear, but I heard that the Yan King of the Mingyue Kingdom and the princess of Xie Wu went to the emperor together, and talked secretly for half an hour, after they left the imperial study, the emperor ordered people to secretly inquire about the news, this matter was not announced to the public, and the old slave overheard it because he was passing by."

Mama Liu told Tuoba Luoxiatuo all the ins and outs of the matter, and Tuoba Luoxia was no longer in the mood to eat at this time, but stood up and walked back and forth in the room, constantly thinking about what Tuoba Lie's purpose was.

"Princess, what shall we do?" There was a hint of panic in Mama Liu's tone.

"What to do?" Tuoba Luoxia turned around violently and stared at Mama Liu's expression, Mama Liu was a little nervous.

"Old slave, old slave means, in case the emperor finds out about our head, then ......"

"Find out about our heads, what are you talking about? What does this have to do with us? ”

Tuoba Luoxia was guiding Mama Liu's thoughts step by step, although this matter was instructed by her, but Feng Yue was the only one who did this from beginning to end.

As long as Feng Yue doesn't confess himself, then no one will know, even if Tuoba Lie finds out something in the end, let Feng Yue confess.

Tuoba Luoxia's words made Mama Liu gradually stabilize from the panic.

"Princess, the old slave understands what you mean."

"It's good to understand." Tuoba Luoxia nodded, presumably the news that Tuoba Lie was going to investigate this matter thoroughly had also reached Feng Yue's ears, and it was time for him to write a letter to stabilize his emotions.

Tuoba Luoxia turned around and came to the bookcase, picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper, and then ordered someone to secretly hand over the letter to Feng Yue.

At this time, Feng Yue was trembling in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he vaguely heard the news that Tuoba Lie was going to investigate this matter thoroughly, and he was a little panicked, but then he thought about it, it was just a dead maid, even if he really found out, there should be no big problem.

Just when he was hesitating, Tuoba Luoxia's letter could be said to be a shot in the arm for him.

In the letter, Tuoba Luoxia not only comforted him with all kinds of gentle tones, but also promised him that if he was found out by Tuoba Lie, Tuoba Luoxia would definitely come forward to intercede for him.

Feng Yue took the letter and smiled at the corner of his mouth, as long as he could get Tuoba Luoxia's favor, it didn't matter if he was in prison.

At this time, Tuoba Lie already had some eyebrows about the poisoning, and through the investigation of those officials in Dali Temple, he found that there was one more eunuch near the embassy that day, and this person disappeared after only a few hours.

After they investigated carefully, a little eunuch told the truth, saying that his fellow townsman had brought a person into the palace and wanted that person to see the world.

When Tuoba Lie learned about it, he ordered the little eunuch to be brought to him.

"The Emperor's ......"

After the little eunuch came to the imperial study, he knelt on the ground with a puff, he was very frightened, and was taken to the imperial study with a blank face, and now there were only two people in the room, he and Tuoba Lie, facing the majesty of Tuoba Lie, he was so frightened that he couldn't say a complete sentence.

"You don't have to be so nervous, I have to ask you something, you can answer whatever you know, as long as you tell the truth, I can fully guarantee your safety."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave must tell everything he knows."

"Did you bring people from outside the palace in a few days ago?"

"This ......" Hearing Tuobalie's question, the little eunuch hesitated.

You must know that it is a capital crime to bring outsiders into the palace without permission. If he confessed it, and Tuoba Lie didn't know, then he wouldn't be able to save his head, and he interrupted him just as he wanted to speak.

"You have to think about what you are going to say, just make sure that you are telling the truth, and I will be able to exonerate you from the death penalty."

The little eunuch hesitated and nodded: "The slave did bring outsiders into the palace. ”

Faced with such a situation, he could only sell his fellow villagers, and he also had to live.

"Okay, how many people did you bring in?"

"Two."

Seeing that Tuoba Lie did not mean to punish him, the little eunuch's heart was also relieved, and he began to believe that what Tuoba Lie said before was indeed true.

"Do you remember what these two people looked like, who they were?"

"One of them is my fellow countryman, he works as an errand in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I don't know about the other person." The little eunuch told Tuoba Lie the truth about that day.

The three words "Prime Minister's Mansion" heard from his mouth also confirmed some of Tuobalie's previous speculations, it seems that this matter is indeed related to the Prime Minister's Mansion, most of which was done by Feng Yue, the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but why did he do this, and this reason needs to be further explored.

"Do you know when they left?"

"The minions don't know."

"Okay, you can go back, remember today's conversation with me, never talk to anyone, if I hear any wind outside, then don't think about living."

"Yes, thank the emperor for his grace, thank you for the emperor's grace." The little eunuch kowtowed on the ground again and again, it would be good if he could save his life, but he didn't expect Tuoba Lie to let him return to his original position.

After the little eunuch left, Tuoba Lie sent a secret guard to the capital to thoroughly investigate the matter, and found the medical hall where Feng Yue went before.

After a careful search, he found the poison in Qiao Su's body, and under severe torture, Lang Zhong of the medical hall could not help but confess Feng Yue.

Soon the guards gathered together at the door of the Prime Minister's Palace.

"Feng Gongzi, come with me and wait!" The guard stood at the door and said to Feng Yue, his tone was very cold.

Feng Yue didn't expect that the matter would be exposed so quickly, and he didn't even have time to tell Tuoba Luoxia, let alone ask her to intercede for him.

"Why did you take me away?" At this time, Feng Yue still wanted to struggle.

"Feng Gongzi really doesn't know?" As the guard spoke, he showed Feng Yue the paper of the famous man in the medical hall, and when he saw the contents of it, Feng Yue's expression darkened.

"Feng Gongzi doesn't have to worry, as long as you answer the emperor's questions truthfully, the emperor may be lenient."

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Feng Yue's mouth, leniency? How is it possible, this thing I did is not big, it is not small, but if I can let Tuoba Lie personally investigate this matter, then I am afraid that my life will be confessed in prison.

After Feng Yue was taken away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was directly put on death row without interrogation.

"When can I see the emperor? Does my father know about my taking away today? ”

When he learned that he was on death row, Feng Yue panicked. No one in the history of Izumo Province has ever been able to leave death row alive.

"Back to Feng Gongzi's words, Ling Zun already knows about this matter." After listening to Feng Yue's pleading, the cell boss felt compassion and revealed some news to him.
