Chapter 205: A Piece of Good Intentions Mo Xuanchen
Mrs. Xie knelt on the ground and her voice trembled, and she couldn't speak in tune when she said the back.
Mrs. An Yuanbo knelt beside her not far away, even if she hated her cousin for calculating her.
Obviously, when they went, they only heard the two arguing, and the eldest princess didn't mention half a word about the four princes at all.
But now that the wood is in the boat, Emperor Jing is even more frosty looking at her.
Mrs. An Yuanbo scolded angrily in her heart, wishing that she could never get along with her cousin Mrs. Xie for old age, but she still had to follow Mrs. Xie's words and pretend to be afraid to lie for her:
"The courtiers never thought that the eldest princess would kill people, and she didn't expect that she would want to kill her because my cousin and I heard those words, if it weren't for my mother's nephew who would have done some work, the county lord of Anjin also entangled the eldest princess because of the pain of losing her son, so that we were lucky enough to run out and bump into Lord Cao and them, and my cousin and I were afraid that we would die today."
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is really crazy, and I beg Your Majesty to make the decision for us!"
Emperor Jing looked at the two women kneeling below, their eyes were full of fear and fear, and they had injuries on their bodies, and the four princes next to him couldn't hide the panic in their eyes even if they tried their best to be stable.
The courtiers of the eldest prince's family suddenly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess killed people and killed her mouth, it must be because Mrs. Xie heard something they shouldn't have heard, she colluded with the four princes, and she was not clear with the Zhennan Palace, I'm afraid that the four princes sent people south before may not be just a coincidence." ”
"Weichen seconded the proposal, after everyone in the Marquis Wenyuan Mansion was imprisoned, Chen Zhao always said that although his eldest prince had the intention of digging the embankment, he had not done it yet, and he had always had doubts for fear of causing a catastrophe, but the embankment was suddenly destroyed, and the people of the fourth prince also arrested him directly, as if he had been prepared to know what he wanted to do."
The people of the second prince and the first line of people mean something,
"After the flood in the Lingjiang River, the reputation of the eldest prince was ruined, but the four princes took all the credit, I know if there is really a problem in this, Weichen originally felt that this matter was too coincidental, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that Chen Zhao and the eldest prince are being used, and the four princes are taking advantage of the fishermen."
The face of the fourth prince who was accused from all sides was pale, mixed with the redness and swelling of the previous palm, and the whole face was almost invisible.
"Don't talk nonsense! Father, the evidence of Chen Zhao's crime is conclusive, and it is he who pleaded guilty..."
"Did he confess his guilt, or did His Highness deliberately take advantage of the loophole?"
Mo Xuanchen said suddenly, "Before Chen Zhao returned to Beijing, the matter of the eldest prince sending people to dig the embankment was rumored, and the Dingzhou area was in chaos. ”
"But as far as I know, after Chen Zhao returned to Beijing, he kept arguing that he hadn't had time to do anything, and even Marquis Wen Yuan said that he knew that the eldest prince was acting and sent someone to stop him, and I heard that the person who was caught on the embankment that day died suddenly before he was escorted back to Beijing, and his bones were never brought back to the capital."
"So no one can tell whether that person is the person from the eldest prince and Chen Zhao, or if someone else is fishing in troubled waters......"
"Mo Xuanchen you!!"
The eyes of the four princes were split.
He always thought that Mo Xuanchen was on his side, after all, on the night of the wedding, if Mo Xuanchen hadn't reminded him, he would not have thought of the Lingjiang embankment burst, and even noticed what the eldest prince wanted to do, so he sent someone to Jiangnan to set up a situation to trap the eldest prince.
For this reason, he has always been grateful to Mo Xuanchen, and he also thought that the previous things would pass in the past, and told the queen to take care of Yun Jinchu a little more in the future, and even after Mo Xuanchen entered the Fusi of Beizhen, he secretly made a lot of efforts, but he never thought that Mo Xuanchen would turn his face when he said it.
The fourth prince said angrily: "Mo Xuanchen, you know that I sent people south because of other things, and I discussed with you when you got married, but now you are helping them to wronged me?" ”
Mo Xuanchen's eyebrows furrowed: "What are the four princes talking about?" ”
He looked at the anger on the face of the fourth prince with puzzlement, and after a while, he seemed to react to the meaning of his words, and immediately laughed angrily,
"Could it be that the fourth prince wants to say that I asked you to go to Dingzhou?"
His eyebrows and eyes were sharp with a cold anger,
"On the night of my wedding, I did say that the Lingjiang River might burst its embankment, but it was only because my wife was afraid that the flood would make the matter of privately hoarding grain known, so I had to explain one or two."
"At that time, the eldest prince was also there, and I also reminded the four princes, telling you that there was too much rain this year, and I was afraid that the water level of the Lingjiang River would rise sharply, and the flood storage would not be enough for the downstream to bear.
"I never hid this from anyone, even Your Majesty and King Hui, as well as several adults in the court who went to the banquet that night, also knew that you ......"
Mo Xuanchen's expression changed when he said this, as if he thought of something and was suddenly stunned,
"Could it be that you didn't remind Mo Shangshu, but instead used this to set up a situation to frame the eldest prince?!"
The fourth prince looked pale when he asked: "Mo Xuanchen ......"
He was going to kill him!
Mo Xuanchen didn't seem to see the resentment on his face, and only said in a trembling voice: "It's really because of me..."
He looked at the four princes with wide eyes in disbelief, completely unexpecting that his kind reminder that night would be regarded as a matter of calculation, and even the matter of the Lingjiang embankment burst was related to what he said that night.
Mo Xuanchen's face turned white inch by inch, and he suddenly knelt down towards Emperor Jing:
"Wechen is guilty, Wechen doesn't know that the four princes actually sent people south because of Wechen's words, so as to set up a bureau, and also sent people to destroy the embankment......"
He pursed his lips tightly and kowtowed,
"I beg your majesty to punish you."
All the people in the hall were shocked, looking at Mo Xuanchen who was kneeling on the ground, his face was constantly changing, and the fourth prince listened to Mo Xuanchen's words and took the matter on his body, seemingly admitting his guilt, but in fact, he sent people to the south to set up a bureau to dig the embankment.
He wanted to say that Mo Xuanchen harmed him, and wanted to say that he deliberately provoked him to be wary of the eldest prince, and even used the matter of the Lingjiang River to break the embankment to lure him into action.
But when the words came to his lips, the four princes looked miserable.
That night, Mo Xuanchen did tell him that the Lingjiang River might burst the embankment, and also told him to remind Mo Wenfu and the Ministry of Industry to prepare early so as not to be exploited, he seemed to be close to him in words, but now that he thinks about it, Mo Xuanchen has never said anything else except these.
He just told him what happened, leading him to think about what the eldest prince would do, and making him realize that something would happen to Mowen Mansion after the Lingjiang River burst.
Later, he sent people to Dingzhou, asked people to set up a bureau to arrest Chen Zhao, and even asked people to secretly push the eldest prince to a hand, and after the Lingjiang embankment burst, it was all he who spread rumors and wanted to put the eldest prince to death.
Except for a few words he said that night, Mo Xuanchen was clean from beginning to end and did not interfere at all.
