Chapter 102: The Imperial Study Argues
Xiao Yonghan obviously expected this, and he said apologetically to Mo Ruxue: "Then I'll go to the palace to take a look, and you should pay more attention to yourself." ”
"Don't worry, let's go, let's go!Go early and come back early!" Mo Ruxue smiled and waved at him.
Xiao Yonghan listened to this nondescript sentence, and shook his head helplessly, how did he feel that this was not in prison, but just going out to do something.
After Xiao Yonghan left, Mao Xicheng explained a few words to the jailer, which was nothing more than that he couldn't snub Princess Luo and the like, and then he also left.
As soon as they left, only Mo Ruxue and Murong Yan were left in the cell.
Mo Ruxue saw that Murong Yan's hand was injured: "What's going on?"
Murong Yan hurriedly put her hand away, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a small injury, it's the ...... I was accidentally injured when I resisted arrest in the morning."
Mo Ruxue looked at this eccentric girl, remembering that she took Ouyang Xun to catch Dai Duo last time, fell off the cliff and almost died, and this time she was involved in prison by herself, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Alas, Yan'er, since you followed me, I haven't had a good life, and the next time your brother sees me, he probably has to blame me. ”
"He wouldn't care about me!
"You're his closest person in the world, he doesn't care who you care about? Look at things, don't just look at the surface, you have to think about why your brother wants you to stay away from him. ”
Murong Yan looked confused, she really hadn't thought about this problem, her brother had rarely been close to her for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that she had nowhere to go when she went out of the mountain this time, he wouldn't have taken her in.
"Princess, do you think my brother thinks I'm a burden, so he doesn't like me? I have mediocre martial arts skills, and I like to be lazy, and I want him to protect me in times of crisis......"
"Over the years, I have only seen him a handful of times, and every time he has come to the mountains for one night and left, without even talking to me. ”
As she spoke, Murong Yan lowered her head and was secretly sad.
Mo Ruxue really admires Murong Chen, she can do this to her own sister-in-law, her heart is really hard!
"Your brother lives a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife, and his life will be in danger at any time, so he naturally wants to stay away from you, don't you understand?"
"If you misinterpret your brother's kindness like that, then you will unjustly kill him! You yourself said that you still want him to protect you in times of crisis, is he going to save you without hesitation?"
Murong Yan frowned: "It seems that there is some truth in what you say, every time I am in danger, he is in ...... Did I really wronged him?"
"It's over, I had a big fight with him last time, I don't know if he will forgive me......"
Murong Yan was annoyed, she was also dizzy at that time, and her words were not light or serious.
"Don't worry, how can the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance be so stingy!, where would he rest assured of such angry words!" Mo Ruxue said in a low voice.
"Really? That's great! I must find a chance to apologize to him," Murong Yan couldn't wait to go out after being enlightened by Mo Ruxue like this.
She suddenly remembered that Yun Qian'er's corpse was poisoned, and if she could take a closer look, she would definitely be able to tell what kind of poison it was.
"Princess, there is something I don't know whether to say or not. ”
"Just say what you want, what else do we have to scruple about?"
"The poison in Yun Qian'er, I should know, when the people from Dali Temple carried her out in the morning, I took a look at the poisoning of the corpse from a distance, it should be similar to what I guessed, but I didn't have a chance to take a closer look. ”
"I'll test it today, and I'll see what the results are, but it's really not good, I'll find a way to let you go out." ”
"Well, good. ”
"We can't do anything at this time, let's take a break! ”
Mo Ruxue and Murong Yan leaned on the side of the bed and rested for a while.
Before they fell asleep, Mao Xicheng smiled and brought the jailer over with two clean quilts, and the female prisoners in the cell next to them looked at them with envy.
"It's very cold here at night, and the lower officials have added two quilts to the princess, if the princess still needs anything, just ask. ”
Mo Ruxue looked at these two brand-new thick quilts, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: The identities are different, and this treatment is really different!
There was only a torn quilt on the bed, thin and torn, and there was not much cotton wool left.
"I don't need anything, thank you, Lord Mao!"
Mao Xicheng nodded and left, he knew in his heart, don't look at Princess Luo now that she has become a prisoner, if he dares to be disrespectful to her, King Luo will definitely come to him immediately!
The Imperial Study in the Imperial Palace.
When Xiao Yonghan arrived, Xiao Yongyan, the concubine, Yun Jingshan, and Mo Xu were all waiting in the imperial study.
Yun Jingshan sat next to Mo Xu, at a loss, obviously he was a victim, but his heart was weak, and he didn't know where to look with a pair of eyes.
Mo Xu has no fear, Xiao Yonghan's attitude towards Mo Ruxue is in everyone's eyes, last time Mo Ruxue was hit by 20 boards, Xiao Yonghan was so angry that he handed over the golden seal, this time even if she really killed Yun Qian'er by mistake, the emperor would not do anything to Mo Ruxue.
After Xiao Yonghan saluted Xiao Yongyan and the concubine, he stood in the middle and asked straight to the point: "I wonder if the emperor urgently summoned his ministers into the palace for the poisoning of Concubine Yunbian?"
"Well, I just heard about it, I heard that it was the poison that Princess Luo and her maid took, I don't believe it, how could the imperial sister-in-law be smart and clever to do such a blatant thing?"
"Your Majesty, before the case is clarified, the minister doesn't want to argue anything for Princess Luo, the minister believes that Princess Luo is innocent, there must be something hidden in this!"
The concubine snorted coldly: "She is innocent, the girl of the Yun family is not innocent? How long has she been married, and today is just a month old! It's about to be the New Year, and this kind of thing happened!"
The concubine gave Yun Jingshan a color, and Yun Jingshan immediately knelt down in front of Xiao Yongyan, covered his face with his sleeves, and cried silently: "The old minister only has this one concubine, although the minister does not want to suspect that this is done by Princess Luo, but the little girl was indeed poisoned by eating that pill!"
"Ask the emperor to find out the truth, so that the soul of the little girl can rest in peace!"
Mo Xu stood up and knelt down in front of Xiao Yongyan: "Your Majesty, Princess Luo has always been virtuous and virtuous, and the old minister will never believe that she would do such a thing! Maybe Concubine Yun Bian ate something by mistake, she was already in poor health, and it is unknown if she died after taking the pill! I ask the emperor to return the innocence of the little girl!!"
Yun Jingshan heard Mo Xu's words, and stammered to retort: "Qian'er...... Qian'er went to a banquet in the palace last night, how could she eat indiscriminately! We all ate the food at the banquet. ”
"The feast is over, and she hasn't eaten anything for so long? Who has been around since then? Who can testify?"
"I ...... Her maid thrush said that they had not eaten anything since they returned, and had been in the room. ”
"Hmph, who knows if this maid was scared after murdering her master, and deliberately blamed Princess Luo?
"Thrush has followed my daughter since she was a child, and she is loyal, how could she do such a thing?"
"Maybe, General Ben heard that the first person to go out to report the news was also this maid, isn't this a bit of a thief shouting to catch a thief?"
"You...... You...... If the thrush doesn't come out to report the news, I'm afraid the truth about Qian'er's death will be covered up, right?"
"Yes, Concubine Yun happened to have a fever, and she happened to be poisoned after taking the pill given by Princess Luo, how could it be so coincidental? This maid really wants to cover up the truth, and her heart can be punished!"
"You talk nonsense!"
Yun Jingshan was so angry that he gasped, if it weren't for the support of the concubine today, he wouldn't have the courage to stand up and reason with Mo Xu, but this Mo Xu is too good at reversing black and white, and the more he talked about it later, the more excited he became, and he was so angry that he couldn't do it!
Xiao Yongyan said with a calm face: "Don't make any noise, the prince's side concubine was poisoned, this is not a trivial matter, I will definitely find out about this matter, get up!"
Mo Xu snorted heavily at Yunjingshan and got up to return to his place.
Yun Jingshan couldn't stand up for a long time in a trembling state, and only returned to his seat with the support of his father-in-law next to him.
The concubine looked at Yun Jingshan's wretched face, her face was unhappy, she only glanced at it and turned her head, and said to Xiao Yonghan: "King Luo, it is inconvenient for you to meddle in this matter, the investigation of the case is arranged by the emperor, you must not have any objections!"
Xiao Yonghan did not refute the concubine's words, he stood up and bowed, and asked Xiao Yongyan directly: "The minister dares to ask, who does the emperor plan to send to investigate this case?"
"It's approaching the end of the year, the king of Changshan County will return to Kyoto tomorrow, this case will be handed over to him to handle, do you have any objections?"
Xiao Yonghan didn't expect that Xiao Yongyan would ask Xiao Yuanbi, the king of Changshan County, to investigate this case, he didn't have much contact with Xiao Yuanbi, but Xiao Yuanbi's reputation among the people was still good.
Mo Xu and Yun Jingshan obviously didn't expect Xiao Yongyan to let the county king who was resident in the fiefdom investigate the case.
Xiao Yonghan bowed and replied: "The minister has no objections. ”
Mo Xu and Yun Jingshan saw that Xiao Yonghan had expressed his position, and they both stood up and saluted, indicating that they had no opinion.
