Chapter 94: Dog bites dog, mouth full of fur

When the time comes, the palace gate opens.

All the officials straightened their appearance, lined up in two teams holding their court tablets, and entered the court in an orderly manner. Only Su Jian was still sitting in a sedan chair and was carried in.

"The Emperor has arrived!!!"

The eunuch's thin voice came from afar, and all the officials immediately knelt down to greet him.

A moment later, a young and handsome emperor, wearing a dragon robe and a twelve-tassel crown on his head, walked in from outside the hall with steady steps.

He walked straight through the officials and headed towards the high throne.

When he passed by Su Jian, he paused, tilted his head slightly, and asked with his eyes downcast, "What's wrong with you, Lord Su?"

With a thud! Su Jian ignored the injury on his knee and quickly got off the sedan chair. He knelt at Mo Yuanlin's feet and shouted angrily.

"Your Majesty, the night before yesterday, a group of thieves broke into my house and tried to kill me. Fortunately, the guards arrived in time, so I was able to save my life. I am now in this state."

Originally Mo Yuanlin didn't take it to heart, but when he heard what happened the night before yesterday, his eyes changed slightly and he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Wasn't it the night before yesterday when he asked Mo Yuanhao to sneak into the Taiwei Mansion to secretly investigate this old man? Now that this old man has become like this, could it be related to Mo Yuanhao?

Did Mo Yuanhao go to investigate someone or to kill someone?

Also, he has not come to the palace to report until now. Could something have happened? His mind was racing, and Mo Yuanlin's face was calm without any emotion, as he tested the situation without making any sound.

"Oh? Who is so bold as to break into the Grand Marshal's Mansion at night and commit murder? He simply doesn't take me seriously. Did you catch the thief?"

"Your Majesty, it's all my guards' fault that they were incompetent and allowed the thief to escape."

Hearing this, Mo Yuanlin breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Su Jian continued, "However, after the thieves escaped, the guards in my mansion found these tokens."

"After investigation, it was found that these tokens came from Prime Minister Han and other adults..."

Before he could finish his words, he was already being severely criticized by the Prime Minister and his party.

"General Su, please stop slandering me."

"Prime Minister Han has always been law-abiding. How could he do something like assassinating a colleague?"

"You are slandering me."

"that is……"

After Prime Minister Han's faction spoke out, Su Jian's followers stopped standing idly by and began to speak out in support. The two parties once again engaged in a heated argument.

Seeing this, Mo Yuanlin was completely relieved.

It seems that although Mo Yuanhao's night-time break-in at the Taiwei Mansion alarmed Su Jian, they did not recognize Mo Yuanhao's identity. Instead, they took advantage of the situation to perpetrate a self-torture scheme and framed the incident on the Prime Minister's party.

Well, dogs bite each other and both get a mouthful of fur.

The more fiercely the two parties fight, the more chances he has to benefit from it.

"Your Majesty, this is the evidence. I want to sue Prime Minister Han, Lord Du, Lord Qiao, Lord Yan... and many other colleagues for conspiring to murder me."

In front of Su Jian was a box containing many small things, including iron seals, stone seals, jade pendants, plaques, and so on.

He sued Prime Minister Han and others in the same way as when Prime Minister Han and others sued him last time.

Looking at the so-called "evidence" in the box, the Prime Minister and his party were almost angry enough to pass out.

"Su Jian, how dare you send someone to steal our tokens, and even stage a self-torture drama to frame us.

Whether stealing an official's keepsake or slandering a colleague, it is an unforgivable crime. And you, as the current Grand Commandant, knowingly committed the crime, which is aggravated by the crime, and you should be executed."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Commander Su dared to steal the official's token and slander his colleagues today. He will dare to do even more outrageous things tomorrow, such as deceiving the emperor and deceiving the emperor. Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for us and punish Commander Su severely."

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for us and for the court..."

“…”

After the prime minister and his party denounced Su Jian indignantly, they knelt in front of Mo Yuanlin, crying out for justice and asking Mo Yuanlin to punish Su Jian.

However, the Taiwei and his party are not dumb either.

The Grand Marshal's party stood beside Su Jian, pointing at the Prime Minister's party and scolding them.

"A few days ago, when you accused the Grand Marshal of assassination, he never said that you stole his keepsake."

"Why, when you took the token and sued the Grand Marshal for assassination, the evidence was evidence, but when it was the Grand Marshal's turn, the evidence was theft?"

"That's right. If you say so, then the evidence from last time was also that you stole the Grand Marshal's keepsake, right?"

"In my opinion, the Grand Marshal did not slander you. You fell into a trap last time and believed that it was the Grand Marshal who attacked you. Therefore, you hold a grudge against the Grand Marshal and want to retaliate."

"Since you keep saying that you are being wronged, why don't you go to court? Just like the Grand Marshal, find evidence to prove your innocence first. Once you are cleared of the charges, come back to court."

"Your Majesty, the same incident should be treated equally. Since the Grand Marshal was suspected last time, Your Majesty ordered the Grand Marshal to stop court and find evidence to prove his innocence.

Then, all the gentlemen are also suspected this time, and they should also do the same as the Grand Marshal, adjourn the court and look for evidence to prove their innocence."

“…”

When the Grand Marshal's party said this, the Prime Minister's party was overwhelmed and immediately experienced what Su Jian felt last time.

"No, I object to this. My keepsake was stolen, and I was also accused of assassinating my colleague. I am a victim. How can a victim find evidence to clear himself of the crime?"

"Yes, I object as well."

"I second the motion."

“…”

Seeing the Prime Minister's party protesting one after another, Su Jian smiled faintly, looking confident of victory.

"If that's the case, then I also object. I am also a victim."

"you……"

When these words were spoken, many officials from the prime minister's party were so angry that they almost fainted on the spot.

Things have come to this point, what else do you not understand? This bastard, unable to find evidence to prove his innocence and eager to return to the court, painstakingly designed this to drag all of their party into the water and force them to let go of the matter.

If they refuse to give in, they will be forced by this thief's followers to withdraw from the court and find evidence to prove their innocence.

In the same situation, Su Jian would never be the only one to receive such punishment, but they just brushed it off so easily.

The emperor must not take sides.

This damned bastard actually planned this for them. Well, that was really good!!! The Prime Minister and his followers hated Su Jian so much that they wanted to rush forward and pin him to the ground and beat him up.

"What do you think, my dear ministers?"

Even when the two parties were arguing fiercely, Mo Yuanlin had already walked up to the throne, sat upright on the dragon chair, raised his chin and looked down at the ministers below.

The Prime Minister and his party turned their gaze away from Su Jian indignantly. Even though they hated Su Jian, they still had to make excuses for him.

"Your Majesty, we were all framed. I think the Grand Marshal was also framed for the same thing. There must be some misunderstanding. Let's just forget about the last incident. We won't pursue it."

"Yes, we were framed. The Grand Marshal is a powerful official in our dynasty. How dare we attack him?"

“…”

"Since you all believe that I was framed, then I also believe that you were framed. Let's just leave it at that. Your Majesty, I consider myself unlucky and will not pursue this matter any further."

This was exactly the effect Su Jian wanted, so when the prime minister and his party gave in and decided not to pursue the matter from last time, he also gave up.

Now that the two parties have reached an agreement, although Mo Yuanlin feels a little regretful, but now that the year is coming to an end and there are many state affairs, and it is the time to recruit people, it is not a good idea to hold on to it, so he just lets the matter go.

Su Jian can finally return to the court.

After leaving court, he sat in a sedan chair, feeling refreshed and left the palace. His followers surrounded him on both sides, asking him about his well-being with concern.

Prime Minister Han and his followers looked at him sinisterly.

At the end, a few censors walked with the Yun brothers.

"My Lord, is the injury of the Grand Marshal real?"

Yun Zheng narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, "Master Wen, you said that the Prime Minister's party and the Grand Marshal are at loggerheads, so why didn't you ask His Majesty to send the imperial physician to examine Su Jian's injuries?"

Deceiving the emperor is a serious crime.

Therefore, although Su Jian used a self-torture tactic, all the injuries on his body were real.

With so many eyes watching him from all over the court, how dare he cheat on this matter?

Those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters. If Su Jian wants to achieve his goal and return to the court, he must first be willing to give up this injury.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Outside the palace gate, when Su Jian separated from his followers, Prime Minister Han waved his hand, and more than 20 officials instantly surrounded Su Jian.

This bastard assassinated them last time and this time stole their token of love and forced them to compromise. I would never be satisfied even if I beat him to death.

The sedan chair was kicked to the ground with a bang.

Su Jian and the servants he brought with him were all brutally beaten.

In order to prepare for today's plan, he had made up his mind to have his head smashed. The wound on his knee also broke the bones. Apart from that, he had dozens of wounds of varying sizes on his body.

The pain was already severe, and now he was being beaten up, with fists and kicks raining down on him. Su Jian lost consciousness and passed out completely.

The wounds on his body burst open, blood oozed out, staining large areas of his clothes red. It was such a tragedy.

"Everyone, stop now. This bastard has fainted."

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone hurriedly stopped, tidied their appearance, and left.

This is what a gentleman is like.

When Yun Zheng and his group appeared, this was the scene they saw.

The adults were dumbfounded.

“This, this…”

The two brothers Yun Zheng and Yun Zhan curled their lips and smiled. The Prime Minister's party was really brave enough to take revenge, and they were ruthless enough.

readily!!!

In the palace.

After all the officials left, Mo Yuanlin closed the memorial in his hand and turned to look at the eunuch who was waiting on the side.

"Eunuch Feng, please go to the Prince of Qi's mansion and give the Prince of Qi a message for me."

"yes."

Prince Qi's Palace.

Mo Yuanhao was lying in a remote room, but the servants in his house had not discovered him yet.

He didn't wake up until the anesthetic wore off.

Looking at the layout of the room, his mind was a little fuzzy and he couldn't recognize where he was for a moment.

"Where is this king?"

In my mind, I vaguely recalled what happened before I fell into a coma.

He remembered that he fainted before he ran out of the Taiwei Mansion. So, could this be the Taiwei Mansion? No, if it was really the Taiwei Mansion, Su Jian would have treated him as an assassin and dealt with him long ago. How could he have kept him here until now? He endured the soreness of his body, got up from the bed, walked to the window, looked outside through the window, and after observing for a while, he recognized that this was his palace.

However, he seldom came to this yard, so it looked somewhat unfamiliar to him.

After recognizing that it was his territory, Mo Yuanhao was completely relieved. He took off his nightgown and mask, put them away, pushed the door and walked out.

"Your Majesty, I am here to see Your Majesty."

"When did you come back, Your Majesty? Someone has come from the palace, waiting to see you. The housekeeper has taken people to look for you everywhere."

On the way, he met a servant. When the servant saw him, he was immediately excited and strode forward to pay his respects.

Hearing this, Mo Yuanhao's eyebrows moved slightly and asked, "What day is today?"

"Reporting to the prince, it's nineteen."

Nineteen? He was unconscious for two whole days.

Has it been so long? I guess it was because my brother couldn't get any news from him that he sent someone to the palace to inquire about him.

"Well, I understand. Go find the butler and tell him that I am back."

"yes."

After sending the servant away, Mo Yuanhao walked towards the front yard.

In the courtyard, Mo Yuanlin's personal eunuch was waiting patiently. When he heard the footsteps, he quickly turned his head to look at him.

"Your Majesty, you are here. The Emperor asked me to bring you a message."

"What?"

Mo Yuanhao spoke calmly.

"The Emperor asked me to ask you if you are in good health. If you are not, please send someone to call the imperial physician. Have a good rest these days. If you are fine, please come to the palace when you have time."

"Originally, the Emperor wanted to come to see you in person, but something happened in the court today, and there are many state affairs recently, so the Emperor can't spare the time. So Your Highness has to trouble you to make the trip."

"I understand. Go tell my brother that I will be entering the palace tomorrow."

"good."

After seeing off Eunuch Feng, Mo Yuanhao asked someone to call Tingfeng and Chiyun.

"My Lord, where have you been these past two days?"

The night before yesterday, they had clearly agreed to gather outside Jufeng Tower, but they and their subordinates waited for him for a long time and still didn't show up. Later, they were worried that he was injured and unable to move, so they looked for him near the Taiwei Mansion, but still couldn't find him.

It was as if he had disappeared into thin air.

Mo Yuanhao's eyes moved, "So, you don't know who sent me back?"

Well, if they knew, he wouldn't have been unconscious for two days without being discovered.

But what is strange is who saved him and sent him to the palace quietly?

The other party obviously knew his identity, so why didn't he just take the credit for saving him? Are there really people in the world who don't seek fame or fortune? "What???"

Hearing his words, Tingfeng and Chiyun were slightly stunned. They looked at each other, and a hint of surprise flashed across their eyes.

What the prince meant by this was, is he injured?

Moreover, he didn't even know who saved him, which meant that he fainted.
