Mo You didn't expect that Mo Junyu and Mo Junyang still had this level of discord, but now he had no time to hesitate, so he could only treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor, gritted his teeth and said: "We have to try it! You and Prince Mo are in the same boat, and everyone knows that he is yours. If you fall, will he be able to recover?"
As for Mo Junyang wanting to seek refuge with others again, don't even think about it!
He has been deeply engraved with the brand of a 'princeling'. Even if he has outstanding abilities, other parties will not trust him.
After thinking about this, Mo Junyu felt a little comforted, and nodded and said: "Then please tell me, cousin, that Gu didn't think carefully enough this time, which made him suffer. Please also ask him to think of a good countermeasure for Gu. I will thank you deeply in the future."
This was because he had given in. If a subordinate was treated with such courtesy by his master, he would definitely work with all his heart and mind to serve his master. However, after the target was changed to Mo Junyang, Mo Junyu felt heavy in his heart and was very worried. He always felt that this There is no end to the matter.
Mo You felt the same and did not dare to vouch for it. He only said: "Today's birthday banquet may not be held. I just saw that His Majesty and the Queen Mother seemed to have gone to Chongde Hall. I will go there and have a look. Maybe the Queen Mother It’s not necessarily possible to persuade His Majesty!”
After that, he sighed heavily and walked away worriedly.
Chongde Hall was a place where the emperor usually rested and met with people informally, but it was not a place that Mo You could enter casually.
Unless summoned, Mo You can only wait outside obediently.
At this time, Mo Xiangbin and Ling Ruiyin were sitting opposite each other in the room, each holding a cup of tea, but neither of them drank it. They just held it, as if they were competing to see who could lose their composure first.
In the end, Ling Ruiyin sighed and took the initiative to speak: "The Ai family knows that Your Majesty has always disliked Yu'er. What he did this time was indeed a little more eager for quick success, but after all, he is still the only child of you and Xiaozhen. You are treating him like this in public." Aren't you afraid of breaking his heart if you are confined to Qianzheng Palace?"
Mo Xiangbin snorted, with a bad look on his face, "Sad? I trusted him and entrusted him with such an important matter of taking care of Caifeng, but he made a mess, so aren't you afraid that I will be sad?"
"But Yu'er didn't mean it! Ever since he got your advice, he has been taking care of Caifeng with all his heart. It can be said that he regards Caifeng as more important than himself. So, how could he poison her? Where is Caifeng?" Ling Ruiyin helplessly defended Mo Junyu.
Apart from anything else, the inference that Mo Junjiu accused Mo Junyu or people from the East Palace of poisoning the 'Colorful Phoenix' is extremely absurd and impossible!
Look at her!
It was simply that someone had pink eye and deliberately framed Mo Junyu in order to remove Mo Junyu from the position of crown prince.
Ling Ruiyin analyzed Mo Xiangbin bit by bit, and her words were fair, not entirely to 'rehabilitate' Mo Junyu. After all, as the Queen Mother, she did not want anyone to disturb the peace and tranquility of the palace.
After saying this, she comforted her with sincerity: "Your Majesty, the Ai family knows that Caifeng was poisoned, which made you very angry, but we also hope that you can stay vigilant at all times and never act impulsively and do things that hurt your relatives and make your enemies happy. Things, if you regret it in the future, it will be too late!”
After Mo Xiangbin calmed down and thought about it, he really felt that there were many doubts about today's matter.
The most obvious point is that today Mo Junjiu seems to rely on his father's opinion on everything, but he always has something to say. Not only does he draw everyone's hatred towards Mo Junyu, but he also tries to plot against Mo Junyang. Also pull down the water.
Just like a clown!
Mo Xiangbin was angry, but his eyes were sharp. He was not deceived, he was just too lazy to expose Mo Junjiu on the spot.
As for the people behind Mo Junjiu doing these things, you can guess who it is by just moving your toes.
"Even so, the prince cannot escape the responsibility of improperly taking care of the sacred objects. Could it be that the queen mother wants me to forgive him without doing anything?" Mo Xiangbin's tone was a little loose, but it was obvious that he was asked to let Mo Junyu go just like that. It is also unrealistic.
Ling Ruiyin changed her words and comforted her softly: "There will definitely be punishment, but the emperor will not depose the prince for such a trivial matter, right?"
Mo Xiangbin was at a loss for words. When he learned that the holy object almost failed to be saved, he actually had similar thoughts.
But now that Caifeng is still alive, he was just poisoned. After Ling Ruiyin's advice, he really felt that he was a little aggressive.
The stability of the crown prince's position also affects the stability of a country to a great extent. No matter how precious the sacred objects are, the reason why he deposed the prince is still not sufficient.
Furthermore, Mo Xiangbin suddenly thought of a figure in his mind, and his mouth that was originally biting and refusing to let go softened.
Looking at Ling Ruiyin's concerned and worried eyes, Mo Xiangbin just let go.
Eunuch Koizumi couldn't even wait for the report. He stumbled open the door and entered the house with a panic expression on his face, as if his whole family had died.
Mo Xiangbin frowned in displeasure and said coldly: "You unruly thing, didn't you see me and the Queen Mother talking? You just ran in rashly, don't you want your head?"
Koizumi fell to his knees with a plop, tears streaming down his face, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. The 'Colorful Phoenix' is dead..."
"What?" Mo Xiangbin's hand shook, and the tea cup fell to the ground with a bang, and the hot tea splashed all over him. But he seemed to be completely unconscious. He was stunned and his face was extremely ugly.
Ling Ruiyin's face also changed color, she looked at Xiaoquanzi in horror, and asked hurriedly: "What's going on? Wasn't he still alive when I looked at him in the palace just now?"
Then, as if he thought of something, his tone suddenly changed and he asked again: "Dr. Shen didn't say he could hang Caifeng's life, so how could he die?"
This is to put all the responsibility on Shen Luo and blame Shen Luo for the unfavorable treatment.
However, the little eunuch was not just pretending to be stupid, but he really didn't understand Ling Ruiyin's inducement. He explained tremblingly: "I don't know what's going on. We just arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion. As soon as we opened the shading cloth of the bird cage, we found that 'Colorful Phoenix' has closed her eyes and fallen in the cage, and has no response no matter how she calls.
The servant reached out to explore and found that the 'Colorful Phoenix' had died. Doctor Shen said we found it too late and there was nothing he could do to save her! "
Tsk, even though these words told all the facts, they did a good job of "exonerating" Shen Luo.
It was true that Caifeng died too late. Caifeng died before Shen Luo officially started treating Caifeng. We can't blame Shen Luo for his poor treatment!
Ling Ruiyin sat back on the chair without any strength, knowing that something might have gone wrong. She glanced at Mo Xiangbin secretly, but the latter still maintained the shocked posture and had not moved yet.
"Your Majesty..." Ling Ruiyin called out worriedly, but hesitated to speak.
Mo Xiangbin suddenly came to his senses, and his eyes became sharp and fierce in an instant. He stared at Xiaoquanzi and shouted angrily: "Go and find all the princes for me! I want to question those beasts! "
Xiaoquanzi has been following Mo Xiangbin for five or six years, and this is the first time he has seen the emperor so angry. He even compared his son to a beast. Is this crazy
He secretly looked in the direction of Ling Ruiyin, but before he got a response, Mo Xiangbin said angrily: "You didn't hear what I said. Do you have to chop off your ears to hear clearly?"
"I'm going, I'm going, I'm going!" Koizumi shivered and hurriedly got up from the ground.
"Wait a minute." Ling Ruiyin called to Xiaoquanzi. There was a moment of hesitation on his old, weathered face, but he quickly said: "Go and bring Mo Shizi here too. He is not an outsider. He should Know this."
I don't know where these words touched Mo Xiangbin. He was still like a furious lion, but his anger was extinguished in an instant. Even the look he looked at Ling Ruiyin no longer looked distant and indifferent.
Koizumi responded quickly and stumbled out to announce the decree, leaving the two people in Chongde Hall speechless again.
Ling Ruiyin did not hold back and took the initiative to speak, but mentioned another thing, "Prince Mo..."
"Mother, I don't want to talk about this matter until we find out who was behind the poisoning of Caifeng and completely settle the matter." Mo Xiangbin frowned and interrupted Ling Ruiyin coldly and quickly.
The attitude became stiff again, and a huge invisible wall was erected between mother and son.
Ling Ruiyin couldn't understand Mo Xiangbin's thoughts, but her heart was already half cold, and the speculation that had just surfaced was quickly buried.
It wasn't that she no longer had suspicions, but that she didn't dare to think deeply about it.
All the royal family members who had just appeared in the Prince's East Palace gathered together in Chongde Hall again, and even Mo Junyu was called over.
Everyone stood together underneath, all with their heads lowered, and no one said anything, but it could be seen from their solemn expressions that they all knew the news that Caifeng was dead.
Mo Xiangbin sneered in his heart. He had no doubt that this matter would be spread by Xiaoquanzi - the slaves he trained are absolutely loyal, that is, these people have very good spies, including those he has never noticed. The second child, Mo Junwen.
"You are all talents!" Mo Xiangbin said mockingly, his eyes cold.
The princes all knelt on the ground at once, showing frightened expressions, and begged in unison, "My son is guilty, please scold me."
Even the attitude of admitting their mistakes was exactly the same, making it difficult to tell the truth from the lies. Through the similar faces, Mo Xiangbin could not tell which of them was sincere and which was fake.
Now that things have happened, he is not in a hurry to find out the real culprit, but says slowly but indifferently: "Guilty? How could it be? You are all loyal and protective of me, how could you be guilty
Why don't you tell me, third child? "
Mo Junjiu was called out alone, and the look of panic on his face became even worse, and the gloomy look on the tip of his frowning eyebrows never dissipated.
He replied solemnly: "I failed to relieve my father's worries. I saw my father furious but could do nothing. I am guilty."
Normally, this answer would be a perfect score.
But at this moment, Mo Xiangbin was too lazy to even smile. He pursed his lips and said, "I see that not only do you not share my worries, but you are also trying your best to cause trouble for me. You think my throne is too secure!"
The words are sharp and every word is heart-breaking!
The people below didn't even dare to breathe.
