Dali Temple took over the case, and Xie Mingan personally took charge of the thorough investigation. The emperor was furious and said that if he knew who wanted to murder Princess Funing, he would kill that person from the Nine Clan!
The court officials paid a lot of attention to the case, and the results came out quickly.
The assassination was actually arranged by a fifth-rank official in the court. He committed suicide at home in fear of the crime and left a last-minute letter begging the emperor to let his family go.
However, the emperor could tell at a glance that he must be taking the blame for others, but the assassins who were caught all testified that he was the instigator.
In the absence of any investigation, the emperor could only give him nine clans to be executed to frighten the government and the public.
On this day, the King of Shu was just about to go out in a carriage. The carriage suddenly stopped and the King almost fell down.
He frowned and reprimanded the coachman: "What's going on?"
The coachman's faintly worried tone came from outside: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xie, the Minister of Dali Temple, stopped our carriage."
The King of Shu was startled, and the next second, Xie Mingan's voice Sounded from outside.
"Your Majesty, I have a few words. I want to talk to you alone." He said it respectfully, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised the curtain.
Those dark eyes were filled with anger, which made King Shu feel guilty for no reason.
He sat directly next to the King of Shu: "Your Majesty, you should have heard about the assassination of my sister Ning Ning, right?"
King Shu softened his expression: "Of course I heard about it. Fortunately, Princess Funing was blessed by heaven and was not injured. Those damn assassins are really heinous. Fortunately, Mr. Xie, you are young and promising, and you finally found out the mastermind behind them."
Xie Mingan twitched his thin lips and smiled sarcastically.
He stared at the King of Shu with dark eyes: "A fifth-grade official has never had any interaction with my sister. The reason for assassinating her was actually because he couldn't stand her domineering behavior. Do you think it is false?"
The King of Shu was silent. After a while, he nodded: "There seems to be something wrong."
"It's not something, but it's completely wrong. Even people who are not familiar with my sister have heard that she donates money and food. Every day when disaster strikes, who in the entire Cangyun Kingdom Didn't he receive her favor and salvation? This official was obviously driven to the extreme and was talking nonsense before he died."
Xie Mingan stared at him with a cold and stern look that was about to kill Shu . Wang stabbed through.
The king of Shu could only apologize.
"It can only mean that he is very stupid. Mr. Xie, please don't get angry with such a person. Haven't the cases been cleared up?"
"Although the case has been cleared up, I don't believe that the mastermind behind it is really him." Xie Mingan smiled slightly.
He almost had his doubts written on his face.
King Shu's expression changed: "Master Xie, what do you mean? Do you suspect that I am looking for someone to assassinate the princess?!"
Xie Mingan raised his eyebrows, his eyes were deep and cold with insight into people's hearts.
"I don't dare to make unreasonable guesses. I came to the prince this time because I wanted to make it clear to him about your affairs. I was not in the mood to say anything outside."
"But the prince also knows that my sister has been living outside since she was a child. In recent days, She has suffered so much and we have already decided that the Xie family will not let go of anyone who makes her suffer."
"So if the prince knows who the real person is who murdered my sister . , you might as well give me a warning, don't push me into a hurry, otherwise I will be the first person in the Xie family to go crazy and take revenge."
The dark cruelty in his eyes didn't seem to be fake.
The King of Shu was shocked. Before he could react, Xie Mingan said goodbye with a sneer, then lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
Looking through the curtain, he was riding a horse and traveling far away with his guards.
"It's so crazy that you dare to threaten me." King Shu said, thinking of Xie Mingan's eyes, he still frowned.
He certainly means what he says.
He was also careless this time. He did not warn the assassin Jingchun found to be careful of Princess Funing's counterattack.
After all, this kid is mature and alert beyond his years.
It's better now, but he really shot himself in the foot. At this time, Mo Lingwei was also at the emperor's side, sitting with his arms folded with a gloomy expression.
The young man said nothing, only looked at the emperor for a long time with a very bad look on his face.
The emperor sensed that he was in a bad mood, and wanted him to have some quiet time, otherwise he would be choked back angrily by his son if he spoke.
But the emperor lowered his head to review the memorial for a long time, and he always felt that the cold and stern gaze was always on the top of his head, making him distracted and a little uneasy.
The emperor couldn't help it anymore and put down his pen: "If you want to say anything, just say it. Don't just look at me and say nothing. What's wrong?"
Mo Lingwei said coldly: "I told you, my father might be angry."
"I'm not someone who gets angry easily. Besides, we are father and son. What can't we say frankly? Just say it. I'll listen and I won't be angry." The emperor smiled patiently.
The next second, Mo Lingwei said with dark eyebrows: "Can you destroy uncle?"
The emperor was startled, and then he shouted: "You kid, what are you talking about!"
Mo Lingwei had expected him. He would get angry, so he sneered.
"Look, I said you would be unhappy."
"Nonsense! Your uncle is my father's brother and he takes good care of you."
"I have carefully recalled the time when I lost my mother when I was a child. "It's my aunt who takes care of me, not him."
On the contrary, Mo Lingwei had never noticed it before. Recently, he thought about it carefully and realized that the Princess of Shu was always with him when he was taken to the Prince of Shu's palace.
She made up for the sadness of losing his mother, but the King of Shu always excused himself from the mansion all day long to discuss matters.
I only come back at night, bringing some toys bought from outside, or telling him something interesting, just to keep him company.
Mo Lingwei always thought that the King of Shu and the Princess of Shu were one and the same, but until he recalled their relationship as a child, he felt that the King of Shu had done almost nothing.
After Princess Shu gave all her attention and care to Mo Lingwei, King Shu only needed to use his words to make Mo Lingwei think that he was as considerate as Princess Shu.
She had just miscarried her second child at that time, but she still took care of Mo Lingwei's sensitive emotions.
In Mo Lingwei's heart for so many years, he was grateful for Princess Shu's dedication, not the King of Shu who occasionally showed his face.
The emperor felt incredible.
"You used to be full of praise for your uncle, and you thought about everything for them. Why are you suddenly angry with him?"
Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips and looked at the emperor.
"I suspect that he was responsible for Xie Mingan's previous assassination and Shen Ningning's assassination this time."
The emperor was stunned and said with a smile: "How is that possible?"
Mo Lingwei's dark eyes were calm and cold: "I know My father may find it hard to believe, after all, for a person who has been pretending to be for many years, everyone has already thought that he is really like that."
"But I came here just to discuss with my father and give me a chance to test him. Let you see his true face."
At this point, Mo Lingwei pulled out a cold smile.
The young man's eyebrows were condensed with willfulness.
"Perhaps when the truth is discovered, my father will be more impatient to kill my uncle than I am."
Seeing his decisive words, the emperor couldn't help but wonder, did this boy really know something?
He hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, let's talk about it." What
Shen Ningning didn't know was that because she was assassinated once, her family went crazy, and Mo Lingwei wanted to drag the emperor along with the King of Shu for her. Completely torn apart. (End of chapter)
