The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess - C386

“I understand. This lotus seed soup is not bad. Go back and properly reward that chef.” When Mu Zheng heard it, he understood the hidden meaning behind Mu Lingfeng’s words. At this time, he simply did not have the mood to think of eating. After coldly saying a few words, he made Mu Lingfeng withdraw.

“Yes, your subject will take his leave first.” Mu Lingfeng was not the least bit angry, since he had already achieved his objective.

“Mu Zhuoshi, oh Mu Zhuoshi, this time I want to see how you withstand this attack!” The corner of Mu Lingfeng’s mouth rose slightly as he smiled sinisterly.

The palace was deep, filled with vegetation and autumn. The places where the sunlight couldn’t reach were everywhere, and there were places where crows wouldn’t even go. There were also schemes, traps, and hidden arrows that might all be hidden there, waiting for one’s nerves to relax before giving one a heavy blow.

When Mu Zhuoshi heard the news from Eunuch Qin, he knew that Mu Lingfeng was already framing him.

Right now, if he wanted to save Xue Moyun, he could also relieve himself. He could only hurry and find the evidence. This proved that Mu Lingfeng was the despicable, shameless and traitorous sinner.

“Crown Prince, isn’t this prince and his wife currently in a comfort zone? Why don’t we pass on the situation here to them so they can pay attention to the situation over there and help find evidence?” Sun Kun quietly came over and suggested.

“That’s fine, the West Cold is capturing them everywhere now. If they come back now, they will be in danger as they don’t know what’s going on.” “Alright, I should inform them of this situation in advance so that they will be prepared.” Mu Zhuoshi nodded.

“Good, now go and send a letter to your royal uncle. Write down the situation here clearly and do things in secret. Don’t let anyone find out.” Mu Zhuoshi turned and instructed Sun Kun.

“Yes, this subordinate will go right away. You can rest assured!” Sun Kun quickly finished writing it down with a brush, turned around, took the completed thing and walked out of the door.

However, it was not as if unexpected things would never happen, not to mention that someone had already set his eyes on it.

Mu Lingfeng took the letter, which the Crown Prince had ordered people to send out, and lightly opened it.

“Well done.” Mu Lingfeng praised him, at the same time, he understood that without any substantial rewards, he would not be able to win the hearts of others. As he said that, he took out a bag of silver from his bosom, “Here’s your reward.”

“Thank you, third prince. Thank you, third prince.” The servant immediately revealed a greedy and flattering smile. After he received it, he didn’t forget to express his loyalty. That look was as annoying as it could be.

“In the future, if Master has any orders, come find me.” This little one will clean up and not show you anything! ” That servant heavily patted his chest as if to guarantee something.

Mu Lingfeng scoffed, he could not be bothered to speak any more nonsense with him, he only turned around, “Let’s go.”

Would he really use someone who had betrayed his master? How could she expect him to work for her in the future?

Mu Lingfeng sneered a few times. The guard at his side immediately followed and took care of that person without a sound.

“Send this to royal father. Don’t say anything, royal father will naturally have a way.”

The guard by his side answered with a low voice, took the letter solemnly, and disappeared without a trace.

“Where’s the crown prince?” Above the great hall, at this moment, Mu Zheng was facing a hundred officials and ministers.

“Crown Prince, do you have anything else to say?” Her eyes looked down at Mu Zhuoshi.

“Your son is here.” Mu Zhuoshi stood up, and still did not understand why Mu Zheng was so angry.

“You unfilial son, how dare you contact those sinners!” As Mu Zheng said this, he threw the letter that was crushed into a ball at Mu Zhuoshi’s face.

After hearing the emperor’s words, Mu Zhuoshi took a look at Mu Lingfeng who was gloating beside him, and his heart immediately sunk. He knew that he had been set up by Mu Lingfeng again.

If it was in the past, Mu Zhuoshi would not have the ability to retaliate in this situation. He could only wait for the Imperial Tutor and his uncle to save him. However, after experiencing so much in the Northern Frontier, he had gradually matured. He was no longer the weak Crown Prince.

He buried his head, and with a look of bewilderment, he picked up the letter. After looking at it, he turned pale with fright, and almost fell to the ground. Mu Zhuoshi said with grievance.

“This letter clearly came from the palace, but this paper belongs to a single person in your Eastern Palace. Why are you wronged?”

“That’s exactly the reason why there are people deliberately framing us. Please listen to my royal father’s explanation. First, since this came from my palace, who was the culprit behind it? Where is he now? Can we confront him in court? Second, because this piece of paper is owned by my Eastern Palace, this is why people who wanted to write this article thought that the person who wrote this letter was this son of mine, royal father. “Three, the handwriting on it is also not mine …”

Mu Zhuoshi’s righteous words made everyone present have a whole new level of respect for him. Now that the crown prince had become smarter, in such a short period of time, he was actually able to find flaws and speak up for him.

Hearing this, Mu Lingfeng’s teeth itched with hatred. If he had known earlier, he would have let that little eunuch live yesterday and let him testify against him.

Mu Zhuoshi sneaked a glance at Mu Lingfeng, secretly showing off to him. This was because he knew that Mu Lingfeng had always been the most vicious.

After hearing the crown prince’s words, Mu Zheng’s anger temporarily dropped. Could it be that someone was deliberately framing him?

Therefore, he immediately called for the imperial bodyguard who had delivered the letter last night.

After a few questions, the guards stammered, unable to explain. Mu Zheng immediately ordered his death.

Seeing his trusted aides killed, Mu Lingfeng gnashed his teeth in hatred. The victory that he had already obtained, was actually won by Mu Zhuoshi. Let yourself steal the chicken and eat the rice.

Although the guard had already been killed, the suspicious Mu Zheng still could not let go of the suspicion towards Mu Zhuoshi.

Seeing the situation, some of the old officials who supported the crown prince could no longer sit still and started to speak up for him.

“Your majesty, please reflect on it. In the past few years, the crown prince has been diligently and diligently contributing meritorious services to my West Cold. He truly has no ulterior motives!” The Imperial Tutor said it with deep feelings and deep thoughts, he recounted every single one of Mu Zhuoshi’s deeds, his face filled with tears, as though he could not bear the fact that the country was about to lose a talent, an outstanding one, a Sovereign King who could bring West Cold to its peak in the future, and could not spare any energy to persuade Mu Zheng.

“This official agrees,” Another official walked out with a jade token to plead for Mu Zhuoshi, “It is impossible for the crown prince to have any ill intentions, if he had, he could have waited until now. Furthermore, this official has said something about going against the principles, the crown prince only needs to wait.”

“That’s right. Moreover, the crown prince is someone you personally chose. Could it be that the emperor still doesn’t believe his eyes?!”

“Tsk.” Just as the ministers were saying that they were all moved by their own emotions, an inharmonious voice came out of their mouths. Mu Lingfeng raised his head, looked at the person seated, and lightly glanced at Mu Zhuoshi who stood alone in his original spot.

Mu Lingfeng had just been heavily punched by Mu Zhuoshi, and the hatred in his heart burned even more. He had always been looking for an opportunity to take revenge. Everyone was speaking up for Mu Zhuoshi. Mu Lingfeng’s eyes turned and very quickly, a poison plan was brewed.

After everyone finished, Mu Zheng was suspicious. But now that he saw the chance, he suddenly shouted out: “royal father, I suspect that the crown prince is trying to recruit court officials, to form a private party!”

“Look, just because the crown prince suffered a little grievance at your place, so many ministers stood out to speak up for him and added fuel to the fire.”

“Look carefully, there are quite a few people. Almost half of them are in the imperial court. Even if the crown prince was wronged, he wouldn’t need to use such a large force, right?”

Mu Lingfeng’s bold words caused the princes to break out in cold sweat.

Mu Lingfeng, on the other hand, did not seem to be satisfied as he continued to speak with vengeance, openly using his peripheral vision to observe Mu Zheng’s expression.

After hearing what he said, the seriousness of the situation had increased. Originally, he had only said that there was something amiss, but there was no real evidence. Now that he heard Mu Lingfeng’s words that were in inverted black and white, Mu Zheng immediately felt like there was something going on.

Mu Lingfeng changed his expression into that of someone who was wholeheartedly thinking for Mu Zheng, as if he was the only one he could rely on and trust. After all, he was the only one who awakened the person in his dreams with a single sentence.

Mu Lingfeng smirked as he looked at Mu Zhuoshi, the hatred and venom in his eyes chilling.

“Mu Lingfeng, you’re slandering us!” Mu Zhuoshi could not hold it in anymore and looked towards Mu Lingfeng.

“How dare you!” At this time, Mu Zheng was suddenly angered and coughed continuously. Suddenly, everyone kneeled to the ground and shouted, “Your Majesty, please calm your anger …”

Mu Zheng sat down and continuously turned the Jade Bead in his hand, only calming down after a long time.

Today’s matter had involved too many people, too many people. He had never thought that the crown prince would actually dare to win over an official. He also did not expect Mu Lingfeng, who was always respectful and sensible, to say such arrogant words.

Now it would seem that no one could be trusted. Mu Zheng looked at each and every one of them. They were either crippled princes, Crown Princes who had won over ministers, or ministers who were waiting for his death. None of them could be trusted.

It wouldn’t be that simple, but it couldn’t be determined. After a long, long time, everyone was kneeling on the ground, unconscious. Only then did Mu Zheng speak, “We will investigate this matter thoroughly. As for all of you, go back and meditate in seclusion. Especially you! ” Mu Zheng pointed to Mu Zhuoshi.

“And you!” Just as Mu Lingfeng was about to gloat, Mu Zheng also pointed at him.
