Marry Under Order, Hot Tempered Queen - C195
Furthermore, she had been in the military camp for so long. No matter how long she had been ordered, the news would not last long.
Thinking of this, Hua Mu Jin suddenly stood up and walked outside.
Following that, she called out, “Yan Hua!”
After she finished speaking, Yan Hua appeared in front of her out of nowhere.
“Your subordinate is here.”
“Go to Dan Yu and tell him to capture all those who are in contact with that soldier and send them to my tent.”
For some reason, Hua Mu Jin felt that the poison this time wasn’t that simple.
After all, the empress dowager was a cautious person, so she wouldn’t so easily discover the poison.
“Yes, your subordinate will go now.”
After giving Yan Hua his instructions, Hua Mu Jin walked back.
The three men at the table looked at him with admiration.
“Leave this matter to me. Recently, you guys have been busy with other matters. Since I have nothing better to do in the military camp, I might as well go find something to do.”
Bai Zhan, who seemed to be slightly worried, stood up and walked in front of Hua Mujiao, saying in a soft voice, “If you can’t deal with her, then tell me.”
Hua Mu Jin grinned and nodded.
“Yeah, I know.”
After having dinner in Shangguan Yi’s tent, Hibiscus fragrans returned to her own tent.
Not long after, Yu and Yan Hua brought the pastry delivery soldier and several other people in uniform to Hua Mujiao.
Hua Mujiao carefully sized up the few soldiers kneeling in front of her. The soldier that delivered the pastries seemed to be extremely scared. His entire body was trembling as he lowered his head.
“Tell me, did the Vice General order you to bring me some pastries?”
Hua Mu Jin suddenly opened her mouth, startling the soldier.
“Yes, no, yes, it’s not …”
The soldiers knew that Hua Mujiao had already found out about the poison in the pastries. If he were to continue hiding it, he would probably die miserably.
“No?” Then tell me, who asked you to send the pastries? Who is the person behind you? ”
Although the soldiers looked timid, Hua Mujie knew that the more timid a person was, the easier it was for them to be greedy.
It was probably because of the money that he did such a bold thing.
“It’s, it’s him, it’s Commander Ye …”
The soldier turned around and pointed at another soldier kneeling beside him.
That soldier seemed to be unwilling to kneel down to Mu Jin, as he was forcefully pressed to the ground by Yan Hua, his face full of unwillingness.
Surname Ye?
“From the looks of it, you really hate me? What’s your name? Who ordered you to poison this palace? ”
“If you want to kill me, then cut me up. I have been a soldier for so many years, and I can see through life and death. If you have the ability, then kill me.”
A soldier with the courage of a man, not only did he not show the slightest respect to Hua Mujiao, but he even spoke rudely towards Hua Mujiao. Yan Hua was not happy with his attitude, and directly kicked him flying.
“To dare to disrespect the princess, you are courting death!”
Hua Mujiao was completely caught off guard by Yan Hua’s actions and was a little surprised.
“Yan Hua, bring him here.”
“Yes, Princess.”
Yan Hua received the order and brought the soldier over. This time, the soldier still didn’t want to kneel down to Hibiscus Mutabilis, so Yan Hua used his sword and directly broke the soldier’s legs.
“You are also a man of steel and steel. Since you dared to poison me, you should have known what the consequences would be.” “However, I must remind you that poisoning His Majesty’s concubine is a serious crime. According to the law, it is a crime that involves all nine clans.”
Hua Mujiao’s words were not to scare people, but the laws of Huan Yue were indeed as such.
Except, the imperial concubines of the imperial harem were all vying for the top spot. They wanted to get rid of the stumbling blocks in front of them, so they would always try their best to be watertight when harming the other concubines.
But in this world, how could there be a wall that didn’t let the wind pass through?
“Don’t try to bluff me, I just don’t like you. Why would a woman come to the army camp? I, your father, am the one who will do the deed. It was I who poisoned you. Kill me! ”
The soldiers were still stubborn, Hua Mujiao could only helplessly shake his head.
“Your surname is Ye, right? If my guess is correct, you should be Ye Laixin, the cousin of Senior Concubine Jing, right? ”
When the soldier heard Hua Mujiao’s words, his face revealed a sliver of surprise, as well as a bit of panic.
“It seems that Senior Concubine Jing has really ordered you to do this.”
“I was the one who wanted to poison you, it had nothing to do with my cousin. Don’t you dare throw that dirty water on her! Killing your concubine is a serious crime! Your father doesn’t want this life anymore, just kill me now!”
The reason why the soldiers were so adamant about dying was simply because they didn’t want Ye La Xin to be implicated by Hua Mu Jin.
However, she didn’t plan on letting this soldier die just like that.
After all, if Ye Yi Xin was going to attack him, then there was no reason for her to not retaliate.
“Just bring them down and lock them up. “Leave him behind.”
Hua Mu Jin pointed at the soldier that delivered the pastries. The soldier was so scared that he was about to cry.
In the tent, there was only Hua Mu Jin and the soldier that delivered the pastries, as well as the green bamboo and Dan Yu.
After a long time, Hua Mujiao softly asked, “You took money from someone else, that’s why you came to poison me?”
“No, yes, yes, yes, little, little …”
The soldier hit his head on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
His voice was trembling, and his whole body seemed to be shivering.
“Whether it is or not!”
The soldiers’ speech was slurred, and the hibiscus floral lost its patience.
“Empress, Empress, this one knows my wrongs. I beg the Empress to spare my life. I beg the Empress to spare my life, I beg the Empress to spare mine!”
Hua Mujie’s voice was filled with anger, causing the soldiers to be so frightened that they lost all courage.
He kowtowed one after another, knowing that his head was bleeding. He had no intention of stopping.
“I’m asking you a question, answer!”
The soldier stammered for a long time before finally speaking in a low voice. “Back, back to Empress, Commander Ye promised me a sum of money to poison Empress’ pastries, but …”
“Esteemed Empress, this one did not do this for myself. This one has been a soldier for several years, and I have a young sister who is seriously ill and a mother in bed. This one had no other choice, and that’s why, that’s why …”
“Esteemed Empress, spare my life. I beg you, for the sake of treating mother’s illness, spare my life.”
A sick mother? Young sister?
This was indeed something Hua Mu Jin didn’t expect.
She thought this person was doing it for money, so he didn’t ask for anything else. That’s why he was instigated to poison her.
“I can spare your life, but you have to tell me, other than Commander Ye, why are you contacting the other soldiers?”
Looking at Commander Ye’s expression just now, he didn’t seem to have any connection with the few officers beside him.
Therefore, this was also the reason why Hua Mujiao had left this soldier to interrogate him.
“That, return, to reply esteemed wangfei, the other officers, when Commander Ye was looking for me, I had the chance to collect some money from Commander Ye, so they gave me some silver taels as well, to get rid of and remove with the help of Commander Ye …”
Hua Mujie had guessed what the soldier was going to say next.
It seemed that the empress dowager’s men had run into a bunch of Ye Laixin’s men.
The empress dowager seemed to be smarter and wanted to use Ye Laixin to get rid of him. Even if they tried to investigate, they would only find out about Ye Laixin.
If she hadn’t guessed wrongly, the soldier in front of her who had brought her the pastries might not have survived the night if she hadn’t detected his presence and allowed her to follow him alone.
“Take him away!”
Even if the soldiers poisoned him because of the sick mother in his mouth, Hua Mujiao did not plan to let him go.
Moreover, he didn’t know if his so-called ‘seriously ill mother’ was made up or if it was real. He would have to investigate this matter first and then decide on how to deal with it.
A few days after the poison was administered, the first prince of the State of Tianzhao, Nangong Yao, sent over the names of the empress dowager’s men. In just an hour’s time, the empress dowager’s men were all cleared out.
There were no survivors. They were all executed.
According to him, there was no need to keep him alive. Even if he asked these soldiers to identify the empress dowager, there wouldn’t be much meaning.
A few days later, a message came from the State of Tianzhao saying that the third prince had suddenly disappeared, and that his whereabouts were unknown.
The king of the Tian Guang Kingdom was sick in his bed, so he wouldn’t have much time to live.
The First Prince of the Heavenly Light Nation, Nangong Yao, was forced to sign a truce with the king of the Huan Yue Kingdom, Bai Zhan.
At the same time, the two of them had secretly signed an agreement on a hundred years of friendship.
“The battle between the two countries can finally be settled. There’s no need for me to stay here any longer. Tomorrow morning, I will set out to return to the Southern Kingdom.”
It was only a matter of time before Mu Xuanyin left, so Hua Mu Jin wasn’t surprised.
But…
“Great royal uncle, go back and say hello to royal grandpa, grandma, and uncle on my behalf. Tell them that once the Huan Yue Country is at peace, Jin’er will definitely return to the Southern Kingdom to visit them.”
“Got it. What’s the matter? Remember to release the white hawk. Your uncle is worried about you causing trouble for him.”
Mu Xuanyin lovingly rubbed Hua Mu Jin’s head as a trace of reluctance flashed across her face.
To the side, Bai Zhan Ke’s face darkened as he looked at Mu Xuanyin lovingly rubbing her head. He then stepped forward and removed her hand.
Mu Xuanli was surprised, but then he laughed, “What? Is it possible that even I, the emperor’s uncle, am going to be jealous?”
Bai Zhan Ke didn’t say anything, but lightly pulled Hua Mujiao over to his side.
Hua Mu Jin was a bit embarrassed, but she didn’t know what to say.
After all, she knew that Bai Zhan Ke was jealous.
“Oh right, where is Shangguan Yi? How come I haven’t seen him since yesterday? ”
By right, Shangguan Yi should be here by now, and she would even argue with her.
His sudden absence made Hua Mujiao feel a little uncomfortable.
“He has something on, so he left first.”
Head out first? Did you go back?
