Chapter 74

In front of the gate of the palace, the maids from Danfeng Kingdom were all sad and weeping.

"The emperor is here, the queen is here."

The eunuch's voice shouted together, everyone knelt down, Ah Jiu respectfully stretched out his hand to help the emperor get off the chariot, Mei Xin and Mo Chou supported their masters from left to right and followed the emperor down , the two stood together outside the gate of Jinhua Hall.

In the Jinhua Palace, King Beijin and two courtiers from Danfeng Kingdom stood quietly at one side, while the prince Ji Xue was wearing a black suit and white silk on her head, and was crying sadly. Hearing the eunuch's cry outside the palace gate, she held back her grief, Slowly got up and led the officials and maids of Danfeng Kingdom, followed behind King Beijin to lead the emperor and empress respectfully.

"Ji Xue (my brother) has met the emperor and empress."

"Get up, I am deeply saddened by the matter of the Empress Dowager, I will definitely find out the real culprit within three days, and let the prince take it back to Danfeng Kingdom." Murong Liuzun's sharp eyes were like a knife. Ji Xue's eyes fell on King Beijin, and she said slowly, "Your brother is suffering, get up."

"Brother Xie."

King Beijin spoke slowly, and stepped aside with Ji Xue and others, allowing the emperor and empress to enter the hall.

When Mu Qingyao passed by the King of Beijin, she stopped. A pair of wise eyes slid across the face of the King of Beijin. Murong Liumo, the King of Beijin, looked very pale, paler than the last time she saw him Mu Qingyao's eyes flickered for a moment, and sparks danced in her pupils. Although that night was short, the person in her impression was physically fit, although Slender, but very predictable, not at all like King Beijin's flimsy, as if a gust of wind is about to blow him down.

"King Beijin has worked hard."

When Mu Qingyao spoke softly, Murong Liumo, king of Beijin, raised his head. His pupils were so clear that there was no trace of powen, but those eyes were slender and not almond-shaped. Mu Qingyao remembered this very well. Clearly, that person's eyes are almond-shaped, while King Beijin's eyes are slender, it is absolutely impossible to make a mistake, so who pretended to be King Beijin and still told them about their meeting in the daytime? He knows everything well, and he is very familiar with the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Who is hiding in the dark and making a move?

"The empress is polite." Murong Liumo coughed as he said, as if his body was overloaded and could hardly bear it. Following the coughing sound, his body shook twice. Mu Qingyao even suspected that if the scratch A strong wind, this man is afraid that he will be swept away, is it really so unbearable?

"Your Majesty, it's time to go in." Mo Chou reminded the master. Mu Qingyao nodded, looked away, and walked into the hall. There was a dark coffin in the middle of the hall. It's autumnal equinox time, this corpse can't be kept for too long, but the royal family has never been short of good things, this coffin is filled with thousands of years of ice, which can preserve the corpse, so the corpse of the Crown Princess Ji Feng is as perfect as if she was asleep It was the same, there was no corpse spot or smell at all.

Yesterday, the person who was so alive and startled everyone, now she has disappeared, and she is lying here peacefully, who killed her?
After Mu Qingyao sized Ji Feng up, her sharp eyes swept over Ji Xue, another woman beside the coffin. At this time, her eyes were red and swollen like peaches, and she was dressed in plain white onyx. It was a deep blow to her.

If this is an ordinary family, there is nothing wrong with it. It is normal for a younger sister to feel sad when her elder sister dies.

But Ji Feng is still a member of the royal family, and the royal family has always only had a struggle for the throne, but no so-called family ties. When the empress dowager died, the prince Ji Xue benefited the most, so her suspicion was much greater than that of King Nan'an. It's just that it's impossible for Ji Xue alone to make such a seamless arrangement, so who is it?
King of Beijin?Envoys from the six nations?Everyone has the possibility to do this kind of thing, but the king of Nan'an didn't. First, he had no motive, and second, he didn't have a deep hatred, so why would he kill Ji Feng if he had nothing to do?
Murong Liuzun and Mu Qingyao calmly paid homage to the dead empress dowager, and comforted the prince Ji Xue...

"Prince Ji, please give me condolences. I will definitely find out the real culprit and bring you back to Danfeng Kingdom."

As soon as Emperor Xian's words fell, the gleam in Prince Ji Feng's eyes flashed away. Although it disappeared quickly, Mu Qingyao caught it. This prince has an ulterior secret. The princess, I'm afraid she also knows the reason, Mu Qingyao stared at Ji Xue with eyes like sharp swords.

Ji Xue was startled, carefully lowered her head to hide the light in her eyes, and opened her mouth sadly.

"I hope Emperor Xian can uphold justice for my imperial sister. If King Nan'an cannot be cleared of his crimes, I hope Emperor Xian will let us bring him back to Danfeng Kingdom in three days and hand him over to my mother."

As soon as Ji Xue finished speaking, the two women standing beside her, the courtiers of Danfeng Kingdom, immediately said with sadness on their faces: "Emperor Xian, please keep your promise. If King Nan'an cannot be proved innocent after three days, please let us take him away." Go back to Danfeng country."

Murong Liuzun's face turned gloomy, his black pupils were stained with anger, his veins burst when he clenched his fingers, but he forbeared not to speak, but everyone in the hall felt the chill all over his body.

Mu Qingyao spoke first.

"Since the emperor has said such a thing, he must give you justice. If my King Nan'an of Xianyue really did such a thing, then there is nothing wrong with handing him over. We will never let her go if we get rid of Her Highness the Empress Dowager by the hands of Xianyue."

Mu Qingyao's indifferent words resounded from the quiet hall, causing people to tremble for no reason. The officials and maids of the Danfeng Kingdom all felt the heavy murderous intent, and the heart of the prince Ji Xue trembled slightly.Not daring to make the slightest move, the queen of the crescent moon has extraordinary abilities, they had better be careful.

"Thank you Emperor Xian."

Ji Xue bowed her head in a serene manner. After the prince said so, the officials of Danfeng Kingdom stepped aside cautiously.

What Mu Qingyao said just now caught Murong Liuzun's attention. Both of them are smart people, and they agreed with each other a little bit. Prince Ji Xue, he had left out this woman before, she was the real sister of the crown princess, but he forgot that since ancient times, the royal family had no family ties, but they just used each other. But Ji Xue, so her suspicion is the biggest...

"It's easy to say, by the way, Prince Ji's condolences."

Murong Liuzun's voice was full of uncontrollable anger, cold and cold, if it is really Prince Ji who really used his hands and feet to frame King Nan'an, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

"Come on, go back to the palace."

"Farewell to Emperor Xian." Ji Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly led the people of Danfeng Kingdom to bow their heads to send the emperor off. The corner of Mu Qingyao's eyes never left Ji Xue. Obviously relieved, this action is very inconsistent with the problem she is facing now. How much does she know and how much has she done?
Mu Qingyao's eyes darkened, and she said slowly, "Wait a minute."

As soon as her cold voice sounded, Ji Xue only felt a thread in her heart, so tight, what does this woman want to do?Looking up at Mu Qingyao with a strong self-possession, she saw the beautiful and intelligent woman Yingying looking at her, while the stalwart man Xiandi who stood beside her slightly raised his eyebrows and spoke in surprise.

"What's the matter Yao'er?"

"Your Majesty, the concubine wanted to pay a memorial service in the dormitory of the empress dowager, because yesterday the concubine wanted to let the concubine perform the same talent in public, but unfortunately the concubine failed to let her do so, so I went to pay a memorial service today."

Mu Qingyao slammed into a concubine, saying that she vomited, almost vomited, but her face was as indifferent as ice. Emperor Xian who was standing beside her immediately knew what she wanted to do. It must be Qingyao who wanted to re-investigate the crime. At the scene, that's good, maybe we can find clues.

"Okay, sure."

When the prince Ji Xue heard it, his face flickered, his black eyes were dark, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he hurriedly stopped him: "The empress is still rich and precious, so you must not enter that bedroom. Mind."

It's a pity that Emperor Xian ignored her at all. He just wanted to find strong evidence that King Nan'an didn't kill the empress dowager. Otherwise, not only would King Nan'an be handed over, but the two countries would also go to war, and it would be cheaper by then. The other five countries, this kind of thing he will never let it happen.

"Prince Beijin, immediately accompany the queen to pay homage to the soul of the empress dowager, so as to comfort her spirit in heaven."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Beijin Wang accepted the order politely, with a warm smile on the corner of his lips, looking at Mu Qingyao with clear pupils, and respectfully said, "Please, empress."

"King Beijin, please."

Beijin King Murong Liu led the way, leading Mu Qingyao, Mo Chou and Mei Xin to the dormitory of the deceased empress dowager, which was the scene of the first crime.

Murong Liuzun followed closely behind and walked out of the main hall. There was no sound on the hall of Nuo Da. The prince Ji Xue's face was extremely ugly. He stared gloomyly at the black coffin parked in the middle of the main hall. Xiao Ran thought, that What did the woman discover?Still want to find out something?She must be more careful.

In the long corridor, King Beijin led the way with an elegant demeanor, and Mu Qingyao followed closely behind him, heading for the dormitory of the empress dowager.

On the carved beams and painted pillars, there are vivid double-flying butterflies carved, plantains of various colors are planted outside the railings, and in the distance is a garden full of purples and reds. At this time, the flowers have all bloomed, and the last glimmer of glory is slowly disappearing. The passing away, indifferent depression.

Mu Qingyao withdrew her gaze, and glanced at Xin Chang's figure indifferently in front of her. The figure was thin and thin, and the white shirt was dangling lightly, which couldn't even cover her thin body. Mu Qingyao's cold heart softened a little. Knowing that the person who attacked her that night was not King Beijin at all, she had no reason to be so hostile towards him.
