Chapter 257: Back from the Dead

Mo Xiao looked at Chu Zishan condescendingly, and after muttering for a moment, he turned around and walked out of the city tower.

The gate of the palace opened, and the eldest princess took Chu Zishan, Chu Hao and Prime Minister Li Cheng into the palace.

Mo Xiao held the sword at his waist, and there were many Yu Lin Guards standing behind him, blocking the way of the comers.

"You'd better not play tricks on me, if you don't show evidence, I will kill you at the palace gate."

Chu Zishan walked towards the ink owl, took out a letter from his long sleeve, opened it and handed it to the ink owl.

When Mo Xiao saw the content of the letter, his evil phoenix eyes widened, and he looked at Chu Zishan in surprise: "This is true?"

Chu Zishan smiled coquettishly and accepted the letter, "Mo Xiao, don't tell me, you can't even tell whose trace this trace is, right?" She looked at the puzzled ink owl, and said, "I don't think I have a long life, so I will take this matter to find death, and I will drive the ink palm print to show me the way to see the emperor."

"In that case, come with me." The ink owl turned around and waved his hand, and Yulin Weili made a way.

Chu Zishan helped the eldest princess, and the champion Hou and Li Chengxiang followed behind, and followed the ink owl to the deep palace.

The Imperial Study.

Mo Xiao stood at the foot of the steps, looking at the tall and magnificent royal study.

"Your Majesty, Chu Zishan has an urgent letter for you."

After waiting for a while, the door of the imperial study opened, and an official shook off the dust and said, "The emperor has decreed that people outside the palace should enter the palace and reply."

Mo Xiao turned around and saluted the eldest princess, "Eldest princess, please."

Seeing that everyone had entered the imperial study, Mo Xiao let out a long breath, he turned his head to look in the direction of the back garden, a pretty figure was faintly reflected in the shadow of the tree, his phoenix eyes gradually bent into a crescent moon, and then he sighed again.

Entering the imperial study, the emperor sat behind the dragon case full of twists and turns, and the graceful and gorgeous Concubine Xiao stood aside, shaking a silk fan for the emperor.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

Several people, led by the eldest princess, all saluted the emperor respectfully.

Concubine Xiao stood up and saluted the eldest princess: "The concubine has seen the imperial aunt."

Her eyes fell on Chu Zishan, Concubine Xiao restrained her smile, and glared at Chu Zishan fiercely: "Chu Zishan committed the crime of treason against the enemy, so she let her come to see the emperor without restraint, aren't you afraid that she will endanger the emperor, come here, take Chu Zishan to the palace, and take it out to beat a hundred rods first."

"Get out of the way of Hongu." The eldest princess shouted angrily at Yu Linwei, who stepped forward, and she glared at Concubine Xiao: "The harem concubines are not allowed to interfere in court affairs, Concubine Xiao, are you knowingly committing a crime?"

Concubine Xiao bowed to the eldest princess, with a disapproving smile on her beautiful face, "The imperial aunt has misunderstood the concubine, the emperor is the national capital of my Great Xia, and he can't hurt a single hair, this traitor is more murderous and terrible than a murderer for the concubine, and the concubine naturally puts the emperor's safety first.

The imperial aunt has been living in the princess's mansion, I am afraid that I don't know much about the outside world, don't be deceived by Chu Zishan, the king of Duan and the king of the border city died at her hands, my Great Xia army was defeated by Rouran, and the city was cut to Rouran to compensate for the land, all of which were caused by her collusion with the Rouran people and committing treason against the enemy.

The eldest princess glared: "Saying that you interfered in court affairs, you still didn't restrain yourself, and you dared to condemn the crime of the generals on behalf of the emperor, this palace looks at you, you are the one with wolf ambitions."

Concubine Xiao was yelled at and angry, seeing that the emperor didn't mean to protect her, she didn't dare to provoke the eldest princess again, and when she saw the silent Mo Xiao standing aside, she said angrily: "Mo Xiao, the emperor asked you to kill Chu Zishan, not only did you not kill her, but you also brought her to the emperor to put her in danger.

Oh, by the way, this palace almost forgot, you married a woman from the Chu family, then Chu Zishan is your eldest sister, you are doing this for the women of the Chu family, regardless of the emperor's safety."

After that, she glanced at the emperor with a pair of charming eyes: "In vain, the emperor treats you like a parent, you are really an immature wolf."

Mo Xiao lowered his eyes, glanced at her with disdain, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Chu Zishan has an urgent secret letter submitted to you, you will know the truth after reading it."

Champion Hou arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Zishan has never collaborated with the enemy and treasoned.

It was Wang Yiqing who framed her, Zishan did not kill the king, and Wang Yiqing's death was because someone exposed his evil deeds, which inspired the people to rush into the assassin's mansion and kill Wang Yiqing in the chaos......

Until the champion Hou told the truth of the matter, the emperor never looked up, and the few people kneeling were worried.

The eldest princess was a little unhappy when she saw that the emperor was slow to express her position, and since she came in, the emperor didn't look at her, which was completely not taking her seriously, and she became more and more angry.

"Your Majesty, since you have called Chu Zishan in, then put the fold in your hand and listen to what Zishan has to say."

"Aunt Huang, Chu Zishan killed my son, and you are still talking to this traitor, how can you make me feel embarrassed?"

"This palace doesn't believe that Zishan killed King Duan, there must be an inside story in this, and the emperor listens to Zishan's words."

The emperor's face became darker and darker: "How do I do it, I don't need to worry about the imperial aunt, come on, send the eldest princess back to the princess's mansion."

When Concubine Xiao heard this, she sat up straight with joy and looked at the eldest princess quite proudly.

The eldest princess sneered: "The palace forgot, the emperor is no longer the little kid who followed the ass behind the palace, you are the monarch of a country, and the emperor who can determine life and death at will.

Even so, the palace has to say a few more words, Zishan represents the Chu family army, and it also represents the soldiers who guard the border city for the Great Xia Town, the emperor must be fair and just in her treatment, and the soldiers of the three armies must not be cold."

"What the imperial aunt said is that the soldiers who protect the safety of my Great Xia will definitely be loved and protected, but if there is a betrayer, it will be immediately unforgiving."

The emperor finally looked at Chu Zishan, he was waiting for her to speak, and saw him kneeling there uprightly, lowering his eyes without hurry, and his slightly pursed red lips curved into the arc of a smile.

She was wronged, and she was not in a hurry to argue.

Every time I see this girl, I have a feeling of being a scheming and scheming enemy, and her calm self-confidence at this time makes him even more impenetrable.

This time is a perfect opportunity for him to justifiably eliminate the Chu family in his eyes, however, this girl always makes him have unpredictable accidents.

It's like two gambling masters, whoever can't stabilize his mind will lose.

Obviously, he was a little impatient, and it annoyed him.

"Chu Zishan, don't you have an urgent letter to me? Bring it in."

Chu Zishan raised his eyes and smiled: "Yes."

She took out the letter from her sleeve again, raised her hands above her head, and Mo Xiao came over to take the letter and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor looked at the envelope embedded with gold leaf, he frowned, took the letter and opened it, and a few beautiful words came into his eyes.

"This is the word of King Duan, is he still alive? Where are you now?"
