Before the King Yue could leave the palace, he was called by the emperor to the front hall. At this time, in the hall were kneeling Shen Binghuai, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, Su Wenyuan, the minister of officials, the first prince, King Ling, and the third prince, King Jin.
After King Yue entered the hall, he respectfully saluted: "My son has seen the father and emperor."
At this time, King Ling and King Jin were all kneeling, and the emperor naturally did not ask him to get up: "Fourth, today Shen Binghuai came to report the case of the Su family's framed murder, and you happened to be involved later, so I called you over and confronted him. "Shen Binghuai, start talking." "Yes, report back to the emperor, this is what happened. Wei Chen heard the yamen report that a woman had passed out at the gate of Shuntian Mansion. , I learned from her that the woman's name is Su You, the direct daughter of Su Zhiyuan, the counselor of the Secretary of Communications and Political Affairs, and the niece of the Minister of Personnel Su. She said that today she and Mu Yunyao jointly held the wedding ceremony. One day, when the two were waiting in the east wing, suddenly a woman dressed like her jumped into the back window of the east wing, intending to kill her. After hearing this, Wei Chen was extremely shocked, for fear
When something more serious happened, he hurriedly took Su You back to Su Mansion. "After arriving at Su's house, I found that all the guests were surrounded by the pond in the front yard, saying that Su You was killed, and the murderer was Shen Ce who was instructed by Mu Yunyao. Shen Ce confessed that he had an affair with Mu Yunyao, and the reason why he shot to assassinate Su You was because the two of them would be met by her privately. However, when asked about some details, what Shen Ce and the servants said were inconsistent and could not form an effective confession. Wei Chen also asked Su You individually, and she had never seen any contact between Mu Yunyao and Shen Ce. Wei Chen interrogated Su overnight
The servants of the family finally got the truth. The confession file is here, please see the emperor. With a calm face, the emperor took the case file presented by Shen Binghuai from Xu Li. After reading it carefully, he looked down at Su Wenyuan, who was pale: "Su Wenyuan, Shen Binghuai found out during interrogation that he secretly instructed his servants to slander Mu Yunyao for murder." , it is your wife Meng Shi, what do you want
Say? "Reporting to the emperor, Meng's stomach is small, and she secretly hated Mu Yunyao because of some contradictions. The minister persuaded her in private, but she was stubborn, so she did not listen to the persuasion. The minister thought that she would be somewhat measured, but unexpectedly To do such a daring thing, Wei Chen is really shameless
To defend her, everything is up to the emperor. "
"So, what happened on the day of the banquet was your wife, Mrs. Meng, who framed Mu Yunyao from beginning to end?"
"...Yes," Su Wenyuan gritted his teeth, "Weichen also learned the truth from her after asking Mrs. Meng after the incident, but I failed to stop it in advance. It was because Weichen was not strict in governing the family, and I asked the emperor to punish him." "Okay, this one. The case is put aside for now, and we will deal with it after inquiring clearly. There is one more thing, why are there private soldiers in your house, and those private soldiers are still using military longbows. As an official of the court, you should know how to do this. The meaning of..." The emperor did not finish his words, but he did not finish
The chill contained in the words made Su Wenyuan shudder.
Su Wenyuan took two steps forward on his knees, and kept kowtowing to plead guilty: "Please the emperor to investigate, Wei Chen has always been loyal to the emperor, even if he has the guts, he would not dare to do anything wicked."
The King of Jin said: "Father, Sir Su has been doing his due diligence during his tenure as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and his loyalty is as good as the sun and the moon. Please ask the father to investigate."
"I haven't asked you yet, but you said it instead. As far as I know, the ten archers in Su Wenyuan's mansion were seconded from your mansion?" Responsibility, during this time, a lot of things happened in the Su family. Mr. Su found Erchen and said that he borrowed some guards from Erchen to maintain the order of the Su family, so as to avoid anything that would affect the wife and young lady who went to the banquet. them,
Erchen saw that Master Su had a rare heart, so he lent ten guards. Su Wenyuan raised his head: "Your Majesty, the old lady in the Weichen Mansion was seriously ill at that time. Sister Su Qing and Yunyao were the old lady's heartbreak. After so many years of searching, she finally found the child. If she waited for her to wake up, Knowing that Sister Su Qing and Yun Yao have left, I don't know how sad I should be. Wei Chen just wants to
In order to make my mother happier, it was inevitable that the means would be extreme, but Wei Chen had never thought about letting the bows and arrows go hand in hand, and just wanted them to be intimidated by the side. On the contrary, His Royal Highness King Yue had directly let his subordinates kill those people. "
King Jin turned to look at King Yue: "Fourth brother, you are too impulsive in your words and actions. Even if you like Mu Yunyao, you should not act without any scruples."
King Yue and King Jin looked at each other coldly: "Then according to the meaning of Brother Sanhuang and Master Su, should I wait until the archer shoots Madam Su and Miss Mu before taking action?"
"His Royal Highness King Yue, I didn't order the bows and arrows to be handed, you misunderstood..."
"Then why did I hear Master Su say that as long as Madam Su and Miss Mu dared to step out of the Su family's house, they would be killed?"
"His Royal Highness King Yue, I have never said this before, where did you hear it?" Su Wenyuan looked like he had been wronged, and his words were quite angry.
King Yue frowned and was about to speak when he heard a notification from the door: "Your Majesty, Princess Yide is here."
"The Queen is here, why don't you invite me soon?"
Princess Yide walked into the hall slowly, and saw Su Wenyuan kneeling on the ground, a very deep killing intent flashed in her eyes: "I have seen the emperor."
"Why is the emperor so polite, come and sit upstairs."
Xu Li ordered a chair to be placed beside the dragon chair and invited Princess Yide to sit on it. "Originally, I shouldn't have come here, but it's about Mu Yunyao, so I can't help but think about caring a little bit more. After thinking about it, I still like her the most. This little girl is not very old, but she has a lovely temperament. , she was very measured in her words and actions, I thought of recognizing her as my granddaughter, remember
to my daughter's name. "
The emperor was a little surprised: "Sister Huang, you decided so quickly?" "The relationship between this person is mainly based on fate, Yunyao is very much in my heart, and in addition to having saved my life before, This is the relationship between me and her. I came to tell the emperor today that I just want to discuss with you, and let the Qin Tianjian choose a date. When choosing a good day, he will
Her name is recorded on the family tree. Su Wenyuan's heart trembled violently, and cold sweat dripped on his forehead: Princess Yide actually wanted to recognize Mu Yunyao as her granddaughter at this time, and she also wanted to record her name on the family tree. This honor is for Mu Yunyao. It is said to be a great honor, but for the Su family, it is a mountain that weighs them down again!
