Mu Zhaolin looked at Jing Yu, whose face was bloodless and did not breathe at all, and the side of his mouth was slightly upturned. Immediately cried bitterly, with a handful of tears in his nose, and barely stood up with the support of others.

After crying for a long time, he stepped forward to verify the certification again, and probed Jingyu's snort, but there was no breath at all. I wanted to check my body again, but was stopped by Jing Han.

"The emperor's death is tragic, so don't look at the left minister." Jing Han's face was cold, but there was a touch of mist in his eyes, and he looked very sad.

King Rong will always look cold under any circumstances, even if the first emperor died, he never shed a single tear in front of everyone, and at this time, showing this demeanor made Mu Zhaolin not doubt him.

Mu Zhaolin looked around, didn't see Mu Yurong's mother and son, wiped his tears, and asked, "Where are the queens and princes?" ”

Mu Xuefu hurriedly said: "The queen is still sick, if I tell her at this time, I am afraid that she will not be able to bear it for a while." Let's hide it for now, and it's not too late to tell her when she's better. ”

Mu Xuefu deliberately blocked the news and didn't let Mu Yurong know until everything settled, which was also what Jingyu meant.

It's not that Jing Yu cares about her, but I'm afraid that she won't be able to withstand the blows one after another.

Mu Zhaolin suddenly bowed his head and said: "That's right, let's tell her about this little by little, don't be in a hurry." ”

Mu Xuefu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were matched with the "Yuan Wei" behind him, and he quickly moved away, and the worry about him in his heart dissipated like a light cloud.

Jing Rong's hand rubbed the token in his sleeve, looking for an opportunity to hand it to them. It happened that Mu Zhaolin was talking to Mu Xuefu behind his back, and he slowly moved to Jing Han's side.

Jing Han watched him keep touching his sleeves, and slowly approached him, so he pretended to walk in his direction unintentionally. Between the two, Jing Rong waved his long sleeves and handed him the token.

Jing Han secretly looked at it to himself, it was the token of King An's Mansion, and then looked at Jing Rong, and saw that he glanced in the direction of Mu Zhaolin, and he already understood what was going on.

Mu Zhaolin didn't notice all this, he was talking to Mu Xuefu, "You are pregnant now, you have to rest more, don't work." ”

A few days ago, Mu Xuefu suddenly gagged, and after Jiang Yueyao's first diagnosis, she found out that Mu Xuefu had been pregnant for nearly a month, which really made Jing Mu right.

The hand unconsciously covered her lower abdomen, Mu Xuefu smiled with a smile, but there was bitterness in her eyes.

Whether Mu Zhaolin really cares or not, she knows in her heart that some things can't be faked. But what he did, Mu Xuefu only felt a chill. Looking at Mu Zhaolin, she didn't feel a little in a trance, feeling that she had never really seen through this person.

"Thank you for your concern." Subconsciously, Mu Xuefu's title shortened the distance between the two of them.

Mu Zhaolin's heart seemed to be crossed, frowning and staring at her, as if he thought he had heard it wrong, and asked rhetorically, "What do you call me?" ”

Only then did Mu Xuefu realize what she had said, and raised a smile, "I said that my father cares." ”

Seeing her as usual, Mu Zhaolin's expression eased. He said to Jing Han again: "Has the person who assassinated the emperor caught?" ”

I already knew that he would have this question, and coupled with the token given by Jing Rong just now, Jing Han said: "No." He took out the token from his arms and showed it to Mu Zhaolin, "Just left this." ”

Mu Zhaolin pretended to be incredulous, "Isn't this the token of King An's Mansion?" He was dumbfounded, "Could it be that King An is not giving up and wants to die with the emperor?" He said hatefully: "I didn't expect him to be put in prison and do evil, it's really hard to write!" ”

Speaking of this, he burst into tears, lying beside the emperor's bed and crying bitterly. While crying, he said: "Your Majesty, you just leave like this, how will Rong'er and their orphans and widows live?" How about placing the Great Qin River again? Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister is desperate to ask the king and the queen mother to die without a place to be buried, and avenge the emperor! ”

Seeing this, Mu Xuefu felt disgusted from the depths of her heart, she really didn't know how a person could do it after killing another person and then crying for that person, pretending to be heartbroken?

She really admires Mu Zhaolin's acting skills, if she didn't know the truth, she would really be deceived by his false appearance.

But at this time, she had to follow the play, so she stepped forward to reassure, "Father, don't be too sad, take care of yourself, now that the emperor has just died, and the queen is sick, this court still needs you to support one or two." As for the murderer of the emperor, don't worry, we won't let it go. ”

"I'm old—" Mu Zhaolin pretended to be humble, wanting to retreat as advance.

Mu Xuefu hurriedly said: "My father has gone through two dynasties and has been trusted by two generations of emperors. At this time, the emperor was killed, and the court was bound to be in chaos, and only his father could preside over the overall situation and stabilize the dynasty. Father, don't shirk it. ”

"If you don't think about yourself for Daqin, you should also think about Sister Yurong and Xi'er. Do you really have no regard for their fathers and widows? Sister Yurong still doesn't know that the emperor has been killed, and if she does, she doesn't know what the scene will be······" Intermittently, Mu Xuefu choked up, she picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and when she hid her face, she glanced at Jing Han.

Jing Han said: "Exactly, this king is a rough man, and he is far inferior to Zuo Xiang in the affairs of the court, so he has to preside over the overall situation." Now the courtiers are still in the Jinluan Palace, and the left minister should also stand up and explain, in addition, the emperor died, and the whole country mourned, but the country can't be without a monarch for a day, I don't know if the emperor had any plans before his death? ”

Mu Zhaolin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, calculated in his eyes, and said, "Look at me, I only care about sadness, and I even forget such important things as I forget about them." He slowly stood up with the people next to him, and took out a long wooden box with a seal from his sleeve, "The emperor Shengming, I left a holy decree for me earlier, saying that it can only be opened in extraordinary times. ”

He said it ambiguously, but others already had the bottom of their hearts. Everyone knows that the emperor has given him any secret decree, but he forged it. However, that's what I'm waiting for.

He handed it to Jing Han, but Jing Han shirked it and said, "Since it is the emperor's secret decree, please read it out in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces for a while." ”

Mu Zhaolin pretended to hesitate, "Then please go to the Jinluan Hall with the prime minister." ”

In this way, the group went to the Golden Luan Palace.

The ministers were waiting anxiously in the Jinluan Palace, and when they saw Mu Zhaolin appearing, they hurriedly surrounded them and asked.

"Zuo Xiang, is the emperor really assassinated?"

"How so? Have you found the murderer? ”

"The country can't be without a king for a day, and the emperor can leave an edict?"

"The eldest prince is worthy of it."

"The eldest prince is young, how can he be a king?"

Mu Zhaolin stood on the top of the golden jade steps, "Okay, don't make any noise." ”

He has always been majestic in the court, and when he went down, he was silent. All the ministers looked at him, waiting for his answer.

In fact, for some people, the emperor's life and death have nothing to do with them, they only care about their own interests.

But he heard Mu Zhaolin say: "Although King An was imprisoned, he was unwilling, he was so bold that he sent assassins to assassinate the emperor and kill the emperor." But Skynet was restored and not revealed, but he didn't want the assassin to leave the waist card of King An's mansion. ”

Someone was indignant and said angrily: "King An's crime is extremely heinous, and he should be beheaded and sentenced to death!" ”

Someone waved his clothes and wiped his tears, "King An should have been beheaded in the first place, and the emperor would not be ······"

"King Ann will not forgive him for committing such a heinous crime, but there is something more important now." Mu Zhaolin held the "Holy Decree" in his hand, raised it above his head, and raised his voice: "This is the Holy Decree left by the emperor earlier. ”

The ministers looked at each other and whispered.

Mu Zhaolin said: "I don't know what the content is. He looked at Fan Zheng, "Just ask Lord Fan to read it in the hall." ”

Wu Yang knelt on the ground, Fan Zheng held the holy decree, slowly opened it, and when he saw the content of the holy decree, he frowned.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says, the first emperor collapsed suddenly, returned to the five elements, I inherited the emperor's life, the saint's Hongxiu, and the emperor's will, belonging to the order of the emperor, into the Fengzong Ao. Since I ascended the throne, I have been diligent in political affairs, do not dare to be lazy, and never dare to live up to the trust of the previous emperor. However, I have been feeling uneasy lately, and I have suddenly felt unwell, so I am afraid that it will happen, so I left this edict in case of emergency. I have two sons, the eldest son Jingxi is very intelligent, worthy of a great responsibility, the eldest prince Jingxi is the crown prince, if I have a case, I will be alone in the left phase, the left minister will be wholeheartedly assisted in his right, until the pro-government. ”

Fan Zheng finished reading word by word, and slowly put down the holy decree. looked at Mu Zhaolin and said solemnly: "Is this holy decree really given by the emperor to Xiangye?" ”

Mu Zhaolin said angrily: "How can the emperor's ink treasure and jade seal be fake? Don't Lord Fan believe in Mu? ”

Qu Changfu rolled his eyes, took a step forward, and said: "The left minister is a person trusted by the emperor, and the prince is deeply loved by the emperor. Master Fan asks this question, does he still suspect that this holy decree is a forgery? ”

Fan Zheng glanced at him disdainfully, "This official is suspicious!" Isn't it strange that the emperor was poisoned without warning this time, how could he suddenly leave a holy decree for Prime Minister Zuo, and be able to predict the prophet and explain the aftermath? ”

As soon as this was said, everyone began to talk about it again.

Seeing this, Qu Changfu straightened his waist and said, "What's strange, this is also the emperor's sage." But Master Fan, who has repeatedly doubted the authenticity of this decree, what evidence do you have to prove that this decree is fabricated? ”

He glanced at the person on the other side, and the man immediately said: "Although the emperor did not say in the court that the great prince should be appointed as the prince, everyone knows it. Queen Mu won the emperor's favor, and the eldest prince grew up beside the emperor, studying early at the age of four, and began to teach the way of the king at the age of five, and the meaning of establishing the eldest prince as the prince is self-evident. And Zuo Xiang was already by his side when the emperor was still King Rui, and now it is normal for Zuo Xiang to continue to assist the eldest prince. Xia Guan really didn't understand what Lord Fan had to doubt? Is it because the emperor did not hand over the important task to you? ”

Fan Zheng sneered lightly and said, "Flattering villain." The man's face changed when he landed, and he was about to quarrel, Fan Zheng turned his head to look at Mu Zhaolin, "Are you sure that this holy decree was written by the emperor himself and handed over to you?" ”

Mu Zhaolin raised his face, "Of course it's sure!" ”

As soon as the words fell, another deep and faint weak voice slowly blew into the Jinluan Palace, "Then why don't I know? ”
