Husband of Emperor Husband: Queen of Sky Price

Chapter 76

Mu Qingyao sipped her tea thoughtfully, but did not answer Mo Chou. Now she was going to the Ministry of Punishment to visit the Prince of Nan'an. In the evening, she sent someone to the Jinhua Palace to bring the two personal maids of the Empress Dowager over. I must know something about that night...

There was no sound in the quiet hall for a while, at this time a slender figure walked in from the door of the hall, and slowly saluted: "Yiyun has seen the empress."

"Get up." Mu Qingyao put down her tea and looked at Yiyun, thinking of Huamei and Xiaoqiu, those two women are still in the execution room?
"My Lady, Thrushcross and Xiaoqiu have both been punished as they should be, how do we deal with them now?" Yiyun asked for instructions respectfully, with a dignified and calm expression, and spoke slowly. She has lived in the palace for many years, and her words and deeds are much more standardized. , neither dry nor overbearing, has its own quietness.

"Let's lock them up first, don't starve them to death, give them three meals a day as usual, wait for this palace to deal with the matter at hand, and then clean them up?"

Mu Qingyao waved her hand. The imminent matter now is the case of King Nan'an. There is only a deadline of three days. It should not be too late. There is still no time to delay, so she let go of the other things beforehand and resolved this matter. As a citizen of Xianyue Kingdom, her father is the prime minister of Xianyue, so of course she has to fulfill some obligations. The most important point is that she has a promise from the emperor. No joke, this promise will be used in the future.

"Yes, the Queen Mother."

Yiyun got up in response and left, and when Yiyun left, a eunuch guarding the gate came in to report that Eunuch Ah Jiu had come over with the emperor's letter, Mu Qingyao raised an eyebrow, wondering what the man asked Ah Jiu to pass on , waving for him to come in.

In addition to Ah Jiu, there was another woman who came in, charming and affectionate, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, enchanting and enchanting. Mu Qingyao recognized this woman at a glance as the person who prevented Changsun Zhu from taking her away that night. She seemed to be the emperor's secret guard , called Bingxiao, what is she here for?

Ah Jiu glanced at the queen's probing eyes, and quickly spoke respectfully.

"I've seen the empress, this is the dark guard Bingxiao, the emperor asked her to come over to protect the empress."

Bingxiao smiled softly, and slowly stepped forward to salute: "This subordinate has seen the empress."

"Get up." Mu Qingyao's beautiful face was like peaches and plums, her eyebrows were raised, her body was covered with a gentle brilliance, and she slowly looked at Bingxiang with her eyes. This woman is the kind of woman who is as soft as water, It is said that women are made of water, and they probably refer to such women. Who would have thought that such an outstanding woman would be a hidden guard with astonishing martial arts.

"Thank you, ma'am." Ah Jiu and Bingxiao said at the same time, and they got up and stood aside. Mu Qingyao couldn't help admiring that there were so many beautiful men and women around Murong Liuzun, and they were all loyal to him. Her own power is really not enough, if she goes out of the palace, she must cultivate her own power.

Mu Qingyao thought for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, she got up and told Mo Chou: "Mo Chou will accompany me to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I think I will meet King Nan'an, and Mei Xin will stay in Fengluan Palace and wait."

When Mei Xin heard that the master didn't take her, she was a little unhappy, but she knew why the master didn't take her, because she didn't have martial arts, and if an accident happened, the empress would still protect her, so she kept silent. When Bingxiao came over, she felt relieved, she heard from Mo Chou that this Bingxiao's martial arts is extremely powerful, last time she was the one who blocked the way of the eldest grandson and protected the master, since the master will be fine, will she go or not? all the same.

"Yes, ma'am."

As soon as the chief eunuch Ah Jiu heard what the empress said, he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly told An to retreat, and before leaving, he glanced at Bingxiao, signaling that she must protect the empress's safety, and now he would rather believe that the empress and the emperor are on the same page People on the road, she will help the emperor.

Mu Qingyao led Bingxiao and Mochou out of Fengluan Palace. In order not to disturb other people, she specially ordered Mei Xin to pay attention to the movements of everyone in Fengluan Palace, and not to disclose the news of their leaving the palace.

Mei Xin has something to do, but instead of being lost before, she is full of energy. She and Yi Yun are firmly guarding the gate of Fengluan Palace. Even if a fly doesn't want to fly out, they will definitely ensure that the news will not be leaked out. This is about the safety of the empress.

The prison of the Ministry of punishment.

The cells are sturdy and tall, dark and airtight. Each cell has only one air outlet at the top and no other windows. Therefore, the shady side of the cell is extremely humid, and there are often prisoners who are tortured. , so the smell of blood is very strong, mixed with the narrow cell, the smell is extremely unpleasant.

There are layers of soldiers guarding the outside of the cell. There is no special purpose, and ordinary people can't get close to this cell.

The innermost cell of the prison is much cleaner than the outer cells, and there is a soft bedding. At this time, a tall and handsome man is sitting on it, with cold facial features and eyebrows like frost. The black pupils are filled with overwhelming anger, the beautiful lips are tightly pursed, the whole body is full of murderous aura, the black hair is a little messy, slipped a little, but there is no sign of embarrassment, on the contrary, there is more of a threatening look Junyi, he is Murong Liumo, King of Nan'an.

And there is another person that is rare in the prison, a tall and charming man, dressed in a stone-blue mottled silk robe, with a jade belt around his waist, handsome all over his body, his stunning beauty cannot be concealed between his brows, and enchanting gleams in his glass-like pupils. The ray of light, the sharp hook of the corner of the lips, is a smile that turns all living beings upside down, he is Chu Qianyi, King Nan'an's playmate, who is sitting with him in the prison and talking.

"Liu Zhao, why do you think you got into such a thing?"

The words were clearly ridiculed and teased, Murong Liuzhao raised his eyes angrily and gave him a hard look, is there such a bad friend like him?He's already in prison, and he's still talking sarcasticly. If he has the time, he can find some favorable evidence for him, but he came here to grind his teeth with him. It seems that he has a problem with his eyesight.

"Go away, didn't you see that this king is in a bad mood? I don't have time to grind my teeth with you."

Murong Liuzhao's mood was extremely displeased, he stared at him fiercely, and swung his fist as soon as he raised his fist. This kid's white teeth looked very obtrusive, I don't know what would happen if he knocked out his teeth?But Chu Qianyi won't let people beat him in vain, he reached out and grabbed his fist to prevent him from attacking himself.

"Okay, I also wanted to talk to you because I saw you were in a bad mood."

Chu Qianyi put away her grinning expression, put a serious look on her handsome face, and said thoughtfully: "But I heard that there was your jade pendant at the scene of the murder, how could that thing be in the empress dowager's bedroom? What’s more, a court lady watched you come out of the dormitory of the empress dowager, and you said that there are all the witnesses and evidences, which is very unfavorable to you. Then Prince Ji of Danfeng Kingdom has ordered the emperor to solve the case in three days. If you find out the real culprit, you will be in trouble."

The further Chu Qianyi spoke, the darker Murong Liuzhao's face became. That face was covered with ice, like a statue made of ice. Although it was handsome, it had no warmth at all. Feeling the cold air emanating from his body, he almost froze to death.

"This king has never entered the dormitory of the empress dowager, how did he know that the jade pendant would be left in her room?"

Murong Liuzhao, Wang of Nan'an, spoke in a cold voice, unable to figure out why his jade pendant fell into the dormitory of the empress dowager, and it became an important physical evidence of his murder. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. yes?
Last night, he led a group of guards to the palace to arrest the empress for a tryst with someone. After he found out that it was a misunderstanding, he led them out of the palace. Who knew that he bumped into the empress dowager Ji Feng on the way. It turned out that the imperial concubine Ji Feng knocked out the servant in Hutou Lane and slipped from the other palace to the palace, as if she wanted to enter the Liuli Palace of the emperor's brother. Since he encountered such a thing, how could he just ignore it, so on the spot Fighted with Ji Feng, finally caught Ji Feng personally, and sent her back to the other palace, maybe when the two of them started fighting, that Ji Feng tore off his jade pendant, because it was getting late, he didn't care Who knew that Ji Feng would be killed the next day.

Murong Liuzhao was engrossed in his thoughts, and Chu Qianyi, who was at the side, saw his eyes flickering, and asked concerned: "Did you think of something, and you can't let go of any detail. This may be the evidence to clear you of suspicion?"

Murong Liuzhao was stunned, and soon returned to normal. If this matter were brought up in the hall, the queen would definitely be involved. This is something that would destroy the queen's innocence. If outsiders don't know the details of it, I'm afraid that the more it spreads, the worse it will sound. But the mother of a country, no matter what, this matter cannot be put on the bright side. Thinking of this, Nan'an Wang Murong Liuzhao coldly shook his head.

"If this king thinks of something, he would have said it long ago, so why wait until now?"

Chu Qianyi's gloomy eyes jumped, and he didn't say anything. Just now, he was almost sure that King Nan'an had thought of something, but he didn't say anything in the end. There must be something involved, since he didn't want to Said, as his good friend, he can't force him, but there is no favorable evidence at the moment, what should we do?

"The emperor will definitely find a way to clear you of the crime?"

"It's embarrassing for the emperor. It's a trivial matter for this king to be framed. I'm afraid there will be a war between the two countries. When the time comes, the people will live in dire straits. It will benefit the other five countries, reap the benefits of the fisherman, and divide the country between the two countries equally."

The king of Nan'an is not worried about his own life, but he is heartbroken for the country of Xuanyue and Danfeng. The confrontation between the two great powers will surely hurt both sides in the end. It will be the other countries that will benefit. There will be no more of Xuanyue and Danfeng, but Right now, he can't say that he had entered the palace to arrest the queen and had a private meeting with others. At that time, the banquet was over and he should leave the palace. Why is he still in the palace?
"Actually, apart from the emperor, there is another person who can save you."

Chu Qianyi had a whim, two clusters of sparks were jumping in his eyes, his voice couldn't hide his excitement, although it was a bit unbelievable, but he really thought that if that woman was willing to make a move, maybe Liu Zhao would save the day, because that woman was so smart, With extraordinary intelligence, the king of Nan'an was framed to death. These people in the game always want to clarify the situation, but the more they understand, the more confused they become. But she is an outsider. People say that the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear, so she should be more able. Found a flaw?
