The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess - C381
“Your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness. During the time you were not in the capital, Mu Lingfeng had won over court officials and spread rumors to discredit you. And during this period of time, the Emperor’s health has been poor. Many matters have been left to the Third Prince to handle; he’s quite the saint. ”
Sun Kun said hesitantly.
“I had expected such a scenario.” Mu Zhuoshi shook his head.
“However, there is one thing that is good news for us.” Sun Kun said after pausing for a while.
“What is it?” Mu Zhuoshi stopped the teacup in his hand.
“That imperial concubine who was with the third prince was beaten into the cold palace not long before you came to the capital for suspected adultery.” Sun Kun said happily.
“She’s in the same nest as Mu Lingfeng’s Snake Mouse. There will be a day like this sooner or later.” Mu Zhuoshi was not surprised.
“I heard that all of this was due to the empress’s contribution …”
“Muhou, is she okay?” Mu Zhuoshi’s eyes lit up, and asked worriedly.
“The Empress is doing well. When I heard that you had returned safely, I was overjoyed. I urged my subordinates to tell you to pay your respects to the Emperor tomorrow, then go see her.”
“That’s good.” Mu Zhuoshi was slightly relieved to hear that the empress was alright.
“Oh right, the Empress also wanted me to give you something. She said that you had been to the Northern Frontier and wanted you to look it up.”
As the man spoke, he stepped forward and handed over a scented sachet.
Mu Zhuoshi took the things and started to examine it repeatedly. He frowned, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes lit up.
“This scented sachet’s shape is unique. Also, this piece of cloth, whether it be the material or the flowers embroidered on the embroidery, is not owned by our country. “Seems like it is…”
Mu Zhuoshi paused, and suddenly wanted to say something.
“What does it look like?”
“Something like comfort.” Mu Zhuoshi said.
Although they had not been to the comfort zone before, when they were fighting, they had seen some soldiers who had their clothes cut and embroidered with these patterns. Presumably, it was a sacred relic of their country, so they embroidered it onto their bodies to ensure their safety.
“Where did this come from?” Mu Zhuoshi asked after reading it.
“When the Consort Zheng fell earlier, the Empress led her people to search the palace. She had accidentally seen something in the court burn, saying it was the personal property of the Imperial Concubine. If she didn’t want it, she would burn it? “The Empress felt that something was amiss. She ordered people to extinguish the fire and obtained this item.”
“The pattern on it is not very clear, but it definitely comes from the comfort zone. “Could it be …” Mu Zhuoshi thought and opened his eyes wide.
In these few years, West Cold was like fire and water, there was no tribute at all. I remember the last time Minhan Changyang and the rest came, they did not bring anything like a scented sachet.
“There’s this in this Violet Jade Palace. If it wasn’t brought here from the masturbatory, then it was embroidered by yourself. But no matter what kind of possibility, this Zheng Ziyi is definitely related to the comfort zone. ” Mu Zhuoshi said with certainty.
“That’s great, then how about this subordinate tell the Empress to take advantage of this matter and completely destroy Zheng Ziyi, just in case she comes back to life again in the future?” Sun Kun suggested.
“There’s no rush…” Mu Zhuoshi pondered for a moment, then suddenly said.
“This subordinate doesn’t understand, but …”
“This Zheng Ziyi is already a stray dog. She can’t create much of a commotion. There was no need to overdo things, but to alert the enemy. This Zheng Ziyi and Mu Lingfeng were sent in by Mu Lingfeng, so their relationship was shallow. It can be seen that Mu Lingfeng had already been secretly communicating with the enemy, he is the one who colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. ”
Mu Zhuoshi conjectured, his eyes widened in disbelief. He must have wanted to use the power of the comfort barrier to help him ascend to the throne. Oh my god, I never thought that Mu Lingfeng would actually be so daring, he even dares to do such an outrageous thing. This was insane.
Xue Moyun and Mu Zhuoshi had already known each other for a long time, how could he not know her personality? No matter what, he could not believe that Xue Moyun would do something like colluding with the enemy and betraying the nation.
To think that Mu Lingfeng had even asked him to take the blame for him. When Mu Zhuoshi thought about this, he hated Mu Lingfeng more and more.
“This is an extensive affair, but it doesn’t prove anything by just a piece of cloth. It would only alert the enemy. If we find out about it, other than exposing Mu Lingfeng’s true face, we can also return the innocence of the person. ” Mu Zhuoshi thought deeply. And then, he arranged for Sun Kun:
“Tell your mother, I already know about this matter. Continue following this lead, you must find evidence of Mu Lingfeng’s treason.” Mu Zhuoshi warned.
“Yes.” Sun Kun left the room, and closed the door carefully.
Inside the room, Mu Zhuoshi’s eyes were deep and profound. He pondered for a long time with his brows knitted together into a knot that would not disappear even after a long time.
He thought for a while, stood up, and then wrote a letter to inform Liang Yue of the situation, telling her to help him investigate, and to keep her eyes on Mu Lingfeng.
Looking at the carrier pigeon flying in the sky, Mu Zhuoshi was unable to calm down for a long time. It seemed that a huge event was about to occur within the court. A bloody battle was inevitable.
“Bam!”
Within the imperial study room, there was a loud clapping sound that made all of the eunuchs and palace maids kneel down in fear. “Your Majesty, please calm your anger.”
“Plop, plop …”
Many of the books on the table, such as the tea leaves, utensils, etc., were all swept down to the floor.
For a time, the ground became a mess.
“What, it’s fine if this Xue Moyun fled to the enemy kingdom, but I didn’t expect that she would actually bring her hidden guards and follow her!”
Mu Zheng was so angry that his face turned green, and he slammed the table heavily.
“royal father, please calm your anger. This wangfei didn’t escape, but was captured by the enemy nation. And it was to save him that Imperial Uncle brought the hidden guards. ” Seeing that Mu Zheng had misunderstood his meaning, Mu Zhuoshi explained once again.
“What about being captured by the enemy? She’s a traitor who colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. She knows that her scheme has been exposed, so she escaped ahead of time.” This Xue Moyun and Mu Ying have already been in the enemy nation for such a long time, yet you do not report it to us! ” As Mu Zheng thought this, he also started to blame Mu Zhuoshi in his heart.
Originally, Xue Moyun had deceived him, and it had already caused him to lose trust in others. Now, even his closest brother Mu Ying had betrayed him, and he had gone to an enemy country for a woman. This made Mu Zheng even more furious in his heart.
“Father, this son doesn’t know why you said that Muyun is a spy. Do you still not understand her temperament? It is because of those unexpected ideas of hers that allowed us to outnumber her many times on the battlefield. ” Mu Zhuoshi could not help but cry out for Xue Moyun.
“She burned enemy rations and killed countless enemies on the battlefield. Even a general would not be as powerful as her. While everyone was celebrating, she was captured before she could enjoy the fruits of her victory. ” In Mu Zhuoshi’s eyes, Xue Moyun was a woman who was courageous, scheming, and loyal to the king. He could not bear to see Xue Moyun blackened like this, and even more so, did not want to see the emperor be deceived by a traitor.
But in Mu Zheng’s eyes, he could not see the anxiety on Mu Zhuoshi’s face, and instead, became even angrier.
His face was extremely ugly, and the hand holding the paper in Mu Zhuoshi’s hand seemed to be so angry that it started to tremble.
His eyes emitted a complicated luster. He didn’t expect that his good son, as the current dynasty’s crown prince, would speak against him like this for a sinner who was suspected of betraying the country. Was he being scolded!
Furthermore, even if one was wronged when encountering something like this, since the Ancient Emperor’s era, he would rather kill a thousand wrongly than let a single person get away with it. As the crown prince, he did not share any of his worries, and now, he had even made a great merit in order to interfere in his decision?
Could it be that, given enough time, his wings would gradually thicken, and he would have to sit on his dragon throne while looking down on his face?
The more he thought about it, the uglier the Emperor’s expression became. His complexion turned from ashen to even darker and he looked extremely terrifying.
His whole body was covered in a cold aura mixed with dragon’s might, causing the palace maids to feel uneasy and not dare to breathe. Eunuch Qin was even more so alert and alert, carefully waiting on him, afraid that a careless mistake would cause their heads to fall off.
The more Mu Zheng thought about it, the angrier he got. He almost wanted to grab something to throw at Mu Zhuoshi. But everything on the table had been smashed by him.
He stood up, wanting to ruthlessly punish Mu Zhuoshi for his crimes, but the moment he raised his eyes, he saw his empty sleeve. And his suntanned face, and the tiny scars on it.
At this moment, the heart of the royal father was also a little unwilling to accept this. He used to be a pure-white prince who lived in luxury, but now he was a man full of wounds and wounds.
Although he was very happy to see his transformation, he still couldn’t bear to see him suffer so much.
It was likely because Xue Moyun had saved him before and she could not see Xue Moyun’s true appearance, that was why he spoke up for her.
Moreover, he was the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager’s flesh and blood. If she knew that he had just returned, she would punish him and come crying again.
Thinking of this, Mu Zheng became distracted. Nothing was pleasing to the eye and he immediately waved his sleeves in anger towards the people of the palace: “Get out, all of you get out for me.”
Seeing that, Eunuch Qin and the rest who were in front of the Emperor were scared silly, seeing the palace maids kneeling on the ground, they immediately said: “Didn’t you hear what the Emperor has said, get out of here now!”
As if waking up from a dream, the court ladies scrambled to leave the room.
“Please calm your anger Your Majesty, be careful of the dragon’s body!” Eunuch Qin put down his whisk, hurriedly picked up his fan and fanned the Emperor while lightly patting the Emperor’s back to calm him down.
After a long while, the emperor’s anger finally subsided.
“Father, Xue Moyun was wrongly accused. This son requests Father to be merciful and investigate this matter once again.” Mu Zhuoshi was really not afraid of death, she did not expect Mu Lingfeng to be so observant and flattering him, to dare to bring it up at this time.
On one hand, he was speaking up for Xue Moyun. On the other hand, he was hoping that through further investigation, he would be able to uncover the truth of Mu Lingfeng’s treason.
However, the current Emperor was no longer the old Mu Zheng. He was suspicious, sensitive, easily angered, and listen to rumors and slander. He believed in Mu Lingfeng’s evidence wholeheartedly and thought that Xue Moyun was a traitor to the nation, and would not listen to Mu Zhuoshi anymore.
On the contrary, when Mu Zhuoshi spoke up for Xue Moyun time and time again, it actually made him angry. Since he insisted on speaking up for them, he would order the entire nation to capture them and have them admit the truth.
Therefore, he waved his hand, “Right and wrong. I have my own conclusions in my heart. You just came back. Your mother and the others will definitely miss you. Go pay respects to them first.”
“But …” Mu Zhuoshi saw that Yue Yang was about to say something else.
“Hmm?” Mu Zheng raised his head, his eyes full of anger and dignity, and had no choice but to give up.
