After retiring the engagement, she actually married the emperor's uncle in a wedding dress

Chapter 66 The Dongchuang Incident, Prince Rui Was Arrested

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Mu Jinchen's passion was instantly frozen by the ice and snow, and He Qinru fell to the ground as soon as he loosened his hand.

She got up in embarrassment, and stood silently behind Mu Jinchen.

Xuanyuanji led dozens of imperial guards, and looked at Mu Jinchen with a murderous look: "The prince said that the poison room in Prince Rui's residence contained a large amount of southern border poison, but is it true?"

"no!"

Mu Jinchen screamed in dismay and denied it.

The poison room was built by He Qinlan, and now no one knows about it except him and He Qinru!
How could it be leaked?
When He Qinru heard about the poison room, she suddenly felt bad, and quietly backed away.

To be safe, she has to move those things away...

call out!
A dart came suddenly, pinning the hem of her skirt to the floor.

If you take another step forward, it will be her foot that will be nailed!

And she just didn't realize the danger at all!
"Yes or no, you can find out by searching." Xuanyuan's extremely indifferent face was covered with frost and snow, and with a wave of his knuckles, the imperial guards went straight to the poison room.

He Qinru froze in place, flustered.

If those things are discovered, all previous efforts will be wasted!
She turned to Mu Jinchen for help with her gaze: Your lord, quickly find a way to stop them!
Mu Jinchen panicked even more!
If those things are discovered, the matter of him poisoning the prince will not escape!

He hurriedly ran to Xuanyuanji, trying to get close: "Uncle Huang, it's really hard for you in such a cold day, shall we sit indoors?"

"No." Xuanyuanji shook off Mu Jinchen, "This king is handling the case."

"Uncle, my nephew doesn't understand..." Mu Jinchen bowed down, "What's going on here?"

"The prince is awake, and he testifies against you for poisoning and murder." Xuanyuan pushed Mu Jinchen aside impatiently, and strode towards the poison room.

The icy snow wind howled, lifting his robe.

The black brocade hunts and kills like a sword.

"No nephew!" Mu Jinchen trotted after him, and the imperial guards had already opened the door of the poison room.

Looking at a room full of dusty unused items, Mu Jinchen said with a smile, "Uncle Emperor, this is the storage room in the house."

"Find!"

Xuanyuanji ordered again.

Gu Qingluo's secret letter to the prince not only explained the poison room, but also drew a simple map, clearly pointing out the location of the poison room.

"His Royal Highness, there are all idle items here, and it seems that no one has stepped in for a long time." Commander Song of the Imperial Guard said.

There is dust on the ground, leaving footprints with every step.

But from the looks of it, there are no new footprints in the room.

"These idle items are not usually used, and those servants are lazy, and they didn't even do their cleaning duties, which made the emperor laugh." Mu Jinchen joked pretending to be calm.

Xuanyuan ignored him and walked in.

The room is full of dust, one step at a time, and a burst of fly ash will be brought up when the clothes are turned.

"Ahem!" Mu Jinchen pretended to cover his nose and coughed, "The dust is too heavy, it's choking! Uncle Emperor, let's go out!"

Xuanyuanji's gaze was like an eagle's, and he found the mechanism when he walked halfway through the storage room - the broken copper basin.

Everything here is covered with dust, but one edge of the copper basin is shiny—someone has touched it.

Xuanyuanji put down his hand, found the right direction and turned it, and there was a "click" sound of mechanical rotation.

Mu Jinchen was in despair...

Oops, the poison chamber has been discovered!
The pile of debris next to the broken copper basin was moved away by one meter, and a big hole was exposed on the floor!

"So there are still rooms below..." Commander Song slapped himself angrily, "This subordinate is not careful enough, please forgive me, Prince Chen."

"Prince Rui, please explain." Xuanyuanji looked at the entrance of the cave, and instead of going down to search immediately, he looked at Mu Jinchen.

That extremely mocking gaze was as cold as snow.

Mu Jinchen felt cold all over, rubbed his hands and murmured: "Why is there a hole in the ground? Who secretly dug it in this palace?"

"Prince Chen, go down and have a look!" Commander Song sneered and jumped down first.

Immediately afterwards, several imperial guards also jumped down.

Xuanyuanji stopped going down and stared at Mu Jinchen: "Secretly dig?"

"Yes! Secretly digging! Someone must have secretly dug this tunnel to harm me..." Mu Jinchen blinked his eyes in a panic, trying to find a perfect reason for himself.

At this moment, a scream came from the ground: "Ah!"

Mu Jinchen shook violently twice.

Xuanyuanji picked up Mu Jinchen and jumped down.

A night pearl with the size of a bowl illuminated the basement. Song Tongling and others who had just gone down had already been buried in the cellar, and several poisonous ones crawled on their corpses, eating away at their flesh and blood.

Mu Jinchen was so frightened by this terrifying scene that he couldn't stop trembling.

"Southern border poisonous insects." Xuanyuanji sneered, took out the prepared medicine powder from his sleeve and sprinkled it.

The poisonous insects retreated urgently, and all climbed into the iron box in the corner.

The iron box is about two feet wide and one foot high. It can be said that it has a very large capacity to hold poisonous insects!
If it wasn't for Xuanyuanji's medicinal powder to stop the poisonous insects from continuing to crawl out, I'm afraid that everyone who went down to the cellar would be killed by the poisonous insects.

Mu Jinchen was frightened, his face was as white as paper, and he kept trembling.

Xuanyuan looked at him with contempt: "What's so scary about the things in my own house?"

"It's not mine, it's He Qinlan!" Mu Jinchen tremblingly said.

Things have come to this, he can only use He Qinlan who has been dead for many days to take the blame.I hope Xuanyuanji can believe...

"He Qinlan is dead." Xuanyuanji reminded him coldly.

"Yeah, she's dead... It's a good thing she's dead! Such a femme fatale, and still set up such a horrible place in my house, scared me to death." Mu Jinchen patted his chest, looking like a victim .

"His Royal Highness, the things here are all poisons from the southern border area! This bottle of poison is the poison that was poured on the Xuezhi grass used by the prince." Eunuch Hu also brought the people from Dali Temple, and quickly made a judgment.

Xuanyuan was extremely satisfied.

He just fell ill overnight, and Gu Qingluo gathered witnesses and physical evidence in the shortest possible time.Sanctioning Mu Jinchen with national law can remove the thorn in his side without harming the Gu family.

"Take away the criminal evidence and Prince Rui together!"

"Yes!"

Mu Jinchen refused: "Uncle, I don't know anything..."

"When you arrive at the Imperial Palace, you will know everything." Xuanyuan was too lazy to listen to him, and took him away.

……

He Qinru watched Mu Jinchen being taken away, avoided the crowd and climbed over the wall, and went straight to He's residence.

He Fenggang and He's mother had a quarrel because of He Qinlan's matter, and they were sulking.

Seeing He Qinru come back suddenly, he was startled, and hurriedly pulled her aside: "Ru'er, why are you back?"

"Prince Rui's conspiracy was revealed, and the poison room was also discovered, is there any way for father to recover?" He Qinru asked.

"How could this happen?" He Feng was taken aback, "Who came to take Prince Rui away?"

"Prince Chen?!" He Feng's expression changed instantly, and a sense of fear welled up spontaneously, "The emperor actually sent Prince Chen to come forward, Prince Rui may not be saved..."

"Father, what should we do now?" He Qinru asked.

He Feng stroked his beard and thought for a while, then said: "You are not a registered person in Prince Rui's Mansion, please disappear for a while before talking about it. As for those things, Dad will find a way to get them back as much as possible."

"Yes."
