"Hehe-" Mo Qiqi immediately stood up and walked towards Chu Lingxiao, with a bright smile on her lips: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, since the Emperor has given you the responsibility for this matter, he has great trust in you and has given you Great power, why don’t the Prime Minister take advantage of the power in his hand and turn this matter into a trivial matter? If the Prime Minister is willing to do this, not only will I thank the Prime Minister with a lot of money, but our Mo family will also remember the Prime Minister’s contribution. Kindness, it will definitely help the Prime Minister when he is in need."
Chu Lingxiao smiled elegantly, cupped his hands and said: "Since the emperor trusts Wei Chen, how can Wei Chen disappoint the emperor! Wei Chen will report this matter to the emperor truthfully."
"You—" The anger in Mo Qiqi's heart was like a surging wave. She glared at Chu Lingxiao and gritted her teeth: "Master Prime Minister, please don't toast me and eat the fine wine. Don't forget that you are still in my palace. ! A casual word from me can cost you your life."
Chu Lingxiao still smiled calmly: "Queen, please don't intimidate me. I am a relative of the emperor. Although I didn't grow up in the palace, I know a little about the tricks of the people in the harem. It’s nothing more than threats, intimidation, bullying the weak.”
"Really?" Mo Qiqi raised her eyebrows and said contemptuously: "But these are not what I want to use today." After saying this, Mo Qiqi suddenly untied the brocade belt around her waist.
Seeing this, Chu Lingxiao immediately took two steps back and asked, "Queen, what are you doing?"
Mo Qiqi sneered and said: "Let the Prime Minister see my tricks." Then he shouted outside: "Prime Minister, you are so brave, you dare to be rude to me, someone is here! The Prime Minister wants to Indecent—"
When Chu Lingxiao heard this, he immediately stepped forward and covered Mo Qiqi's mouth: "Empress, please don't frame me like this."
Mo Qiqi pushed his hand away, raised her eyebrows triumphantly and threatened: "What do you think, Prime Minister, of this trick of the palace? If this matter spreads, what do you think the emperor will do? Even if he will believe you, But this reputation is not good! I am afraid that the emperor will transfer you out of the capital for his own sake. Once you leave the capital, the prime minister's power and status will be stripped away in an instant. Tsk tsk tsk, the gain is not worth the loss!"
Chu Lingxiao looked at Mo Qiqi in astonishment. She never thought that one day she would fall into the hands of this beautiful but brainless queen. She had often made fun of her as a queen in front of the emperor, but now she felt like slapping herself in the face. a feeling of.
"What does the Emperor want Wei Chen to do? Wei Chen, Wei Chen just listens to the Queen." At the moment, Chu Lingxiao could only compromise. If she was really allowed to shout out, it would be true as she said. Regardless of whether the emperor believed it or not, he would never leave her by his side again.
Mo Qiqi smiled proudly: "That's right! In fact, my request is very simple. When you go back and report to the emperor, you only need to say that Concubine Dong contradicted me because of her disrespectful words during her lifetime, and I had someone beat her. Twenty big boards, there’s no need to talk about the rest.”
Chu Lingxiao pretended to be timid and reminded: "Queen, this is bullying the king."
"If you and I don't tell, the emperor won't know." Mo Qiqi was very optimistic and her thoughts were simple.
"The Queen, please don't underestimate the Emperor's IQ." Chu Lingxiao reminded again.
Mo Qiqi glared at him displeased and asked, "What? Prime Minister, you don't want to help me? Oops! Why is it so hot today!" She stretched out her hand and tugged on her collar.
Chu Lingxiao immediately said in panic: "Help, how dare I not help?" But he looked at Mo Qiqi's collar with a little interest.
Mo Qiqi immediately tightened her collar and said displeased: "What are you looking at?"
Chu Lingxiao smiled evilly and said: "It is said that the Queen is not as beautiful and charming as Concubine Yang, but in the eyes of Wei Chen, the beauty of the Queen is worse than Concubine Yang."
Mo Qiqi snorted disdainfully: "Don't use this kind of rhetoric. I won't accept it. Remember your promise to me. If you dare to betray me, I will make you look good." Pointing to his bottom.
Chu Lingxiao immediately covered his head in panic.
Mo Qiqi smiled proudly: "Okay, I know that the Prime Minister is busy, so I won't keep the Prime Minister, so please do it!" With the worries in his heart settled, Mo Qiqi sat back on the Fengzui with ease. Go up and enjoy tea leisurely.
Chu Lingxiao returned to the imperial study room to meet the emperor and told Jun Qianche the results of the case investigation, except that he missed the fact that Concubine Dong was pregnant and had a miscarriage.
"Your Majesty, this is what happened. Although the Queen met with Concubine Dong before her death and punished Concubine Dong twenty times, these twenty punishments were not enough to kill someone, so the death of Concubine Dong was There must be another reason."
Jun Qianche listened while reviewing the memorial, and said calmly: "Prime Minister, is there anything else you want to add?"
Chu Lingxiao thought for a while: In fact, there was one thing he didn't tell Mo Qiqi in Fengyang Palace, that is, there were three fingerprints on Concubine Dong's back. According to his investigation of Mo Qiqi, Mo Qiqi knew a kind of Three Finger Skill, three fingers pointing at a person can kill a person, and the death of Concubine Dong was probably caused by the three fingerprints on her back. At that time, she did not question the queen in Fengyang Palace, she just wanted to come back and report directly to the emperor, but now , he was a little hesitant, not because he was worried about Mo Qiqi's threat, but because he suddenly had the idea of hiding the matter in his heart.
After some hesitation, Chu Lingxiao replied respectfully: "This is what Wei Chen has investigated. Please let the emperor make a decision."
Jun Qianche stopped reviewing the memorial with a pen in his hand, and slowly raised his eyes. His bright black eyes burst out with unruffled yet powerful sternness, and he said lightly: "Prime Minister, I wonder if it was the Mo family that gave you a benefit, or something else. What benefits did the queen give you that you dare to risk your life and commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
Chu Lingxiao was startled and immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being stupid."
"Idiot? How come the results I learned are different from the Prime Minister's? I heard that Concubine Dong was more than two months pregnant before she died. Also, there were three fingerprints on Concubine Dong's back, and those three were the fatal injuries. Fingerprints, and the queen knows the three-finger skill, haven't these prime ministers investigated it?" Jun Qianche's voice was extremely calm, but when he heard it, Chu Lingxiao's ears felt like chills stood up. Although he and the emperor usually have a good relationship, he is a king after all. He is very serious about business and cannot tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes. If his bottom line is touched, he will definitely disown him. I have long said that the emperor is not so easy to deceive, and he will be killed by the queen this time.
