my love

Chapter 30


After dealing with these matters, the emperor was extremely exhausted, and returned to the palace with Zhu Minzhi's support.

The sultry air in summer and the noisy singing of cicadas made the emperor even more bored.

After such a big event happened, Emperor Dongxia felt exhausted all over, so he leaned on the soft couch to rest.

A young eunuch tremblingly brought a bowl of iced lily and lotus seed soup into the palace. Unexpectedly, his feet slipped, and the tray in his hand tilted. Juice splash.

The little eunuch was terrified, his body trembled like a sieve, his knees softened, he knelt on the ground with a "plop", begging for mercy and kowtow: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

The emperor gritted his teeth and scolded: "Everyone is useless, what are you doing raising you? If you pull them out and beat me to death with sticks, I'll be clean."

The little eunuch's face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't stop trembling.

Zhu Minzhi bowed and said: "Your Majesty calm down, don't be angry with these slaves." Then he kicked the little eunuch a foot away, and shouted: "Trash! What are you doing here? Hurry up and clean it up."

The little eunuch endured the pain and got up, not daring to go forward again, and hurriedly knelt down on the spot upright.

The emperor waved his hand irritably, Zhu Minzhi gave him a wink, and the little eunuch stepped back on his knees as if he was about to receive an amnesty.

The emperor was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "Prince Xiao Qi died in Dongxia, the Northern Qi emperor might raise troops to inquire about his crimes. I really don't know who should go to escort the coffin of the Northern Qi prince back to the country."

Zhu Minzhi bowed his head respectfully and did not answer.

The emperor supported his forehead, and continued: "The emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty will definitely think that our dynasty despises other countries. Right now, the prince of Dongxia can only show the sincerity of our dynasty by sending Xiao Qi's body back to the country. Appropriate, but under the grief and anger of the Northern Qi Emperor, I am worried that the crown prince may not be able to escape unscathed."

Zhu Minzhi knew from the bottom of his heart that the emperor already had a candidate, and this trip was extremely dangerous. After all, he was reluctant to part with the prince, and on balance, the prince who didn't like him very much was the most suitable one.

They are all his own sons, and he knew that his life was in danger on this trip, so he couldn't bring it up by himself after all. He said so much, but he just wanted to use other people's mouths to say it, so as to alleviate his sense of guilt.

Although Xiao Qi's death was unexpected, seeing their father and son's divorce, Zhu Minzhi was not without pride in his heart, but he was still humble on the face, and replied: "Your Majesty, the princes of my Eastern Xia Dynasty are all dragons and phoenixes among human beings. With the blessing of heaven, no matter who You can go back to the country safely. His Highness the Crown Prince has assisted His Majesty in handling government affairs for many years, and the affairs of the court are inseparable from His Highness the Crown Prince. The servants are bold, and the servants feel that the Fifth Prince, His Royal Highness King Su, has both talents and virtues, and he will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations."

"I'm afraid that the ministers in the court will criticize him. After all, he is the crown prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty. It is only natural for me to send him back to the country."

Zhu Minzhi lowered his body even further: "If the adults have any objections, it's just because they are afraid that His Highness King Su doesn't have a real position in the court and his prestige is not enough."

The emperor nodded slightly: "This child does not make friends with the courtiers on weekdays, and he always shirks the errands I entrust to him in every possible way. His temperament is too withdrawn. Now that he is getting older, he can't always be so idle. He should also worry about the country. gone."

Leaning on the table, he gently closed his eyes: "If the Northern Qi Dynasty invades the country, Yuan Yu, as the prince, has the responsibility to protect the country and the people."

The next day, in the early dynasty, the emperor appointed the fifth prince Su Wang Li Yuanyu as the Great General of Dingbei, and escorted the coffin of the Northern Qi prince back to the country.

The [-] Dingbei Army guarding the border between Eastern Xia and Northern Qi has since had a new commander.

Two days later, under the protection of two thousand martial guards, King Su Li Yuanyu left Luojing and headed north.

Outside the city gate, he held the reins of the horse tightly in his hand, turned his head to look at Luo Jing, and could vaguely see the majestic imperial city.

Under the blue and cloudless sky, the majestic Dongxia Palace with golden tiles and vermilion walls is fascinating.

May I ask which son of the royal family has not secretly had the same dream, dreaming that he became the master there, overlooking the world?Although going north today is extremely dangerous, is it not an excellent opportunity?

I have been staying away from the court, not making friends with anyone, and suppressing all my talents, but do I really feel at ease living a life of mediocrity?

Ten years ago, the cold feeling of my mother's cold body soaked in the bone marrow was still so biting, and some things were very clear even though they were long ago.He has always obeyed his mother's dying orders one by one, without fighting or grabbing the top, but can this really keep him safe for a lifetime?

If so, how did the mother who was indifferent to the world come to such an innocent disaster?This time, Emperor Father knew that going to Northern Qi was a narrow escape, but why did he choose himself?

"No," he whispered firmly, "Mother, I'm sorry! I'm going against your will."

A figure appeared in his mind, and King Su's eyes softened a lot. If it wasn't for her, maybe he wouldn't be able to wake up so early.That fearless and reckless woman didn't know what she relied on, so she dared to be so unscrupulous anywhere.

Slapping the princess, throwing the prince of a foreign country off the horse, everything can kill her, and I don't know if there will be a big disaster in the future.

"I will definitely come back safely." Li Yuanyu's thoughts became more determined, and he lightly clamped the horse's belly. The sweaty BMW rewarded by the emperor under him walked slowly along the winding official road, and behind him was the Shenwuwei Sujia silver spear escorting the prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty. , meandering and coming.

Wenyang Palace

Feng Mingshao told Duanmu Zongli that King Su had left Luojing.

Duanmu Zongli wiped the jade feather sword lightly, a smile appeared on his stern face: "King Su should really thank that girl Yun Sheng."

Feng Mingshao said disdainfully: "What are you thankful for? Can you come back and talk about it?"

Looking at Duanmu Zongli puzzledly: "My lord, why do you indulge her in such nonsense? How will it end if there is a catastrophe?"

King Wenyang glanced at him coldly: "Do you think this disaster is too small?"

Feng Mingshao trotted in front of him, lay down on the desk, and said in a hurry: "Then you still help her? I thought she was at best a willful and bold girl who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, but who knew that she was more than just bold. Fate, she dared to kill a prince of a foreign country in the palace with just one whip. I really doubt that she knows that there is a crime of interfering with the nine clans?"

Duanmu Zongli looked at the half-open scroll that was crumpled by his arm, and said lightly, "You're not too courageous!"

With dry laughs, he hastily moved his arms away, carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on the paper with both hands, and said with a smile: "My lord was joking, this subordinate is far behind Miss Mu."

After a pause, she suddenly asked worriedly: "Tell me, does she still remember the time I sent her home from Qingyaling last time? She is so vengeful, lord, you won't help her kill me too, will you?" ?”

"It's hard to say." Duanmu Zongli was expressionless, stroking the blood jade on the scabbard with his fingers: "It depends on the king's mood."

Duanmu Zongli's long sighs of resentment and lament poured into Duanmu Zongli's ears: "It's just that villains and women are hard to raise!"

Although the people from Northern Qi had left, the real culprit had not been found yet. The Ministry of Criminal Justice searched all the people Xiao Qi had contact with after coming to Luojing, and finally found that Mu Zhiyuan's daughter seemed to have a rift with Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi She happened to be in the palace when she died.

Miss Namu's family had both the motive and the opportunity to commit the crime. Yuan Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, immediately entered the palace to report his discovery to the emperor who was playing chess with Princess Leping in the bedroom.

Dong Xiahuang picked up a sunspot in his right hand and gently placed it on the chessboard.

Le Ping Nianzi said: "Father, you are going to lose this round to my son."

The emperor smiled and said, "That's because the father let you go."

Le Ping glanced at Yuan Zhen who was standing solemnly by the side, and asked a little sadly: "Father, you don't let me go to Yinqiu Palace to trouble her these days, but look, she is not only ignorant, but now Even disregarding the safety of the imperial court, if the two countries go to war, she will be a sinner through the ages, and Ling Chi is not an exaggeration."

The emperor reached out his hand to scratch her nose lovingly, and said angrily: "You child, you are too impatient. If you want to settle the case, you need to get all the evidence. Assassinating a prince from a foreign country and shaking the stability of the country is not a small crime. If the murderer is really her, King Wenyang will not be able to protect her well."

Turning to Yuan Zhen with eyes like torches: "You don't have to worry about it, how to investigate cases in the past, just let go and do it."

Yuan Zhen bowed to his orders, and Zhu Minzhi, who had been standing by the emperor's side all the time, fanned the emperor gently, with a fleeting smile on the corner of his mouth, princess and favor and power, how would you choose, King Wenyang? ?

Mu Yunsheng was quickly taken to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. The Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs did not dare to slack off in such a major case, and went to the prison cell for interrogation in person, for fear of making any omissions.

In the dark and damp dungeon, Mu Yunsheng looked at the instruments of torture that he had never seen before, and was very curious. Pointing to those terrifying instruments of torture, he asked, "Is your criminal department also extorting confessions through torture?" Raising his hand, The shackles clanged.

With a sullen face, Yuan Zhen shouted: "How dare you be so presumptuous in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice! Don't you want to try all of these?"

Mu Yunsheng sneered and said: "You have no proof, just suspicion, and you treat me as a criminal, but you don't interrogate me, why don't you be presumptuous!"

Yuan Zhen seemed to have heard a big joke, and looked at this innocent girl who was almost stupid: "The case you committed can kill you all based on suspicion. Since you have been given the opportunity, you should recruit it truthfully. The accomplice, the purpose, the process of committing the crime, and the detailed confession, the officer thinks you are young and can show mercy to you."

Mu Yunsheng smiled lightly: "My lord, who are you fooling? If I am really a murderer, even if you want to show mercy, you won't be able to keep me. If I say I am not a murderer, then follow the style of the Ministry of Punishment. If you don't torture me, you will be fine." Absolutely don't believe it."

"Then what do you mean you won't say anything?"

"You brought me here for no reason. What do you want me to say? I'm a weak woman, but I want to say that I killed a strong man who is proficient in martial arts. Even if you can't do business in front of His Majesty, you should find someone more reliable." It's a scapegoat."

"You know who the murderer is. The Prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty is a guest of honor in Luojing. Everyone treats him with courtesy. You are the only one who has a grudge against him. You were missing for more than an hour when the crime happened. How do you explain it?"

Mu Yunsheng flashed his eyes as bright as autumn water: "Maybe his political opponents did it, or maybe it was the secret workers of Tianzi Kingdom? Why don't you use your brains? A thousand reasons are more important than others." The strong one you are looking for now."

Yuan Zhen said angrily: "Sharp teeth, sharp mouth, and stubbornness, then don't blame me for being cruel." He sat down on a chair with a backrest, and ordered: "Put it to death!"
