Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife - Chapter 370

[Chapter 370 The turmoil starts, brothers fight]

The second prince, Prince Yu, hurriedly handed over the hair crown in his hand to Xu Li: “Father, this broken hair crown belongs to Meng Handong, it was shot by a feather arrow, because the hair crown is made of red gold, and there is still a piece of hair on it. The traces of the arrow, please compare it with the father and emperor, can it be consistent with the arrow that hit Meng Handong?”

After King Yu finished speaking, he looked to the side of Mu Yunyao and nodded slightly to her.

Mu Yunyao was relieved. At that time, King Yue shot a total of three feather arrows. The first one just broke his hair crown and did not leave any scars on his body. It must be the one that broke the crown.

The emperor asked people to compare, and soon the result came out: “Report to the emperor, the mark on the hair crown is the same as the arrow that hit Meng Handong’s chest.”

Meng Xi still couldn’t believe it: “Your Majesty, these arrows are similar, how can you tell the truth just from the traces?”

King Yu sneered: “Master Meng is a civil servant who has never been on the battlefield, so it is understandable that he doesn’t know much about bows and arrows. The arrows are made of pig iron, although sharp, they are also very brittle. The top is thinner. Therefore, if you hit the hair crown made of red gold, the arrow will be damaged. After inspection, the arrow that shot through Meng Handong’s chest is damaged, and there are still some traces on the arrow. Saying that my fourth brother killed Meng Handong, Master Meng is suspected of framing and biting the prince.”

“Wei Chen didn’t dare, but his son was killed, and his heart was flustered. If there is something wrong, please forgive me, His Royal Highness King Yue. Even though that feather arrow hit Handong’s crown, can’t it be used to kill him again? Is it?” Meng Xi still didn’t give up, his son couldn’t just die in vain.

Mu Yunyao opened his mouth and said, “Master Meng, there are many feathered arrows in the quiver of King Yue, could it be said that after the arrow hit Linglang’s crown, King Yue did not take it again from the quiver, but instead Run to Linglang and pick up the used one, and then retreat to the distance to kill Linglang with that feather arrow?”

King Yu sneered: “There must be someone who wanted to use the feather arrow marked with the fourth brother’s mark to frame him, so it took so much trouble, but I didn’t expect to leave a flaw in the arrow. Mr. Meng, you have been clambering until now. The Yue King will not let go, but who is behind the instructions?”

Meng Xi hurriedly shook his head: “I ask the emperor to see clearly, Wei Chen is very loyal to the emperor, and he never dares to frame His Highness King Yue, but, did my son just die in vain?”

“If you don’t tell me, I also forgot that Meng Handong openly beheaded the horses of the Su family in front of the palace, and acted extraordinarily arrogant, because at that time he was rushing to the hunting ground, and the king did not punish him. Later, he Holding a grudge in his heart, he bribed the house attendant who arranged the tent, deliberately placed Miss Mu’s tent on the edge, and teamed up with Meng Yanran to put poisonous snakes in Miss Mu Meng’s tent. Who gave him such courage today! There are poisonous snakes in Miss Biejia’s tent, and dare to openly shoot arrows at King Yue, will he dare to put his hands and feet on the head of the father or the emperor’s aunt tomorrow?”

Meng Xi hurriedly shook his head, his face turned pale, don’t talk about seeking justice for his son at this moment, it would be good not to get involved with the Meng family: “Your Majesty, Wei Chen didn’t know that Meng Handong’s wicked obstacle was so daring, he usually does things well. Proportion, never like this…”

“Heh,” King Yu sneered, “Mr. Meng doesn’t feel guilty when he says this. No one in the court and the public doesn’t know that Taishi Meng has several rambunctious grandsons. He is unruly on weekdays, and he is about to be called a harm in Kyoto. Now, do you still do things in a measured way? Are you afraid of making people laugh out loud when you say this?”

“Jun Yu, don’t be so rude.” The emperor said.

King Yu was indignant: “Royal father, my son is too angry, the Meng family is really deceiving people too much, that Meng Yanran publicly mocked the fourth brother as a poor prince yesterday, and he was also extremely vicious to Miss Mu, no matter what. , Niyunfang and Buxianlou are hanging signboards written by the father and emperor. Miss Mu also donated 100,000 taels of silver to the people of Jingling City. Do people do something that is beneficial to the people?”

Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes and stopped making a sound. A faint smile flashed in her heart. I really did not expect that His Royal Highness King Yu would be so capable. In the past, the court always said that King Yu was straight and eclectic. This person is as clear and careful as Hair, speak without leaking.

King Yue bowed his hands and bowed to the emperor: “Please ask the father and the emperor to uphold justice for the sons and ministers.”

The emperor was silent for a moment, then said: “This matter is handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Punishment will be in charge of the investigation. Meng Xi, do you have any comments?”

“Wei Chen obeys the emperor’s will.” Meng Xi nodded quickly, fearing that if he continued, the entire Meng family would be involved.

“Go down.”

When everyone left, the emperor couldn’t help rubbing his brows, looking extremely tired.

On the side, Xu Li carefully looked at the emperor’s face, and after a while, he said softly, “Your Majesty, Your Highness the eldest princess also asked you to come and have dinner together at noon. It’s almost time now.”

The emperor nodded: “Let’s go.”

Princess Yide had already had a meal served, and when she saw the emperor walking in, she said with a smile on her face, “I was thinking of asking someone to invite the emperor’s younger brother. I heard that there was something wrong with the clamor?”

The emperor sat down at the table, and a maid held a water basin and served him to clean his hands. The emperor simply wiped his hands and waved the palace servants to retreat. Then he said, “Meng Handong, the junior of the Meng family, has died. I want to rely on the fourth.”

“It seems that even if the fourth child is not very favored, it is in the eyes of some people.” Princess Yide sighed, “Although this child has a cold temperament, he has a good heart and sees things clearly, so he came back. In a few days, someone started secretly, which is really too impatient.”

“Sister Huang, you said this time…” The emperor’s brows were wrinkled into a Sichuan character, and his eyes were emotionally tangled. As soon as the matter came to him, he didn’t believe it at all. After all, even if King Yue had no brains, he would not use it like this method to kill Meng Handong. I just don’t know who is behind the hands…

Princess Yide used chopsticks to add some dishes to the emperor, with emotion in her tone: “The children have grown up, each has his own mind, and each has his own calculations. Brother Huang, you have to think about it, after all. You have experienced royal battles, even if you were brothers and sisters before, you have become vulnerable in front of the throne.”

“Sister Huang, I have experienced those struggles, so I thought about making the children more harmonious. The opportunities I gave them are fair, and I just hope that in this way, I will make them understand that I treat them equally, and they don’t need to fight with each other. Just do your own thing, and I will select the most suitable person to inherit the throne.”

Princess Yide shook her head: “The tree wants to be quiet and the wind is still lingering. It is inevitable that no one will have a crooked mind. Fortunately, this time there is no big mistake, and the emperor’s younger brother can help them get the same temperament in time.”
