Zhao Ziyan staggered and turned to look at the man sitting on the ground with his hands tied behind his back and asked.
"Who... are you?"
"Why don't you come and ask me?" The emperor looked at Zhao Ziyan with some amusement.
Unexpectedly, his son was so courageous that he even dared to force the emperor to abdicate, but... he was a little stupid.
There is no need to ask about the current situation.
The man on the ground is obviously a substitute.
Prime Minister Mo's legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
It's over.
It's all over.
At this time, another person came in from outside the hall, "Father, all the traitors and traitors have been captured!"
This person is the crown prince, Zhao Ziyi.
"You...you're not."
The last bit of hope in Zhao Ziyan's heart was shattered.
It turned out that it wasn't that he couldn't defeat his father, but that all his plans were seen through.
Everything that happened tonight was just a show put on by these two people!
"Push it down!"
The emperor yawned and gave instructions to the people behind him.
Tonight's show was indeed quite interesting, but as I'm getting older, I can't quite bear it.
We'll talk about the rest tomorrow.
Zhao Ziyan, who was being held down by two people, suddenly turned around and asked, "What about Gu Shaoxuan?"
The emperor didn't know why he suddenly mentioned Gu Shaoxuan, "Shaoxuan? What happened to him?"
The corner of Zhao Ziyi's mouth twitched slightly. The emperor didn't know that Gu Shaoxuan was pretending to be sick.
Seeing the emperor's expression, Zhao Ziyan felt much better.
Even if he died tomorrow, wouldn't Gu Shaoxuan and Mo Qin still be there to die with him?
Thinking of this, he had a strange smile on his face and was obediently taken away by the guards.
"Ziyi, Shaoxuan has rested long enough. Let him come to court tomorrow. If he doesn't come, I will order someone to carry him up."
Zhao Ziyi smiled and wanted to go to work together, "Yes, Father!"
Overnight, half of the cells were empty.
The next day when the ministers went to court, they found that the long-ill Crown Prince and Prince Rui were both there, but the Sixth Prince and Prime Minister Mo were gone.
Some other people from the Sixth Prince's faction were also missing.
The situation in the court is changing rapidly.
-
All the people in the Mo Mansion were caught in their sleep.
Mrs. Mo was dressed neatly and waiting for news.
It was not until Mrs. Mo was thrown into prison that she realized what was going on.
She made a scene in the cell.
Madam Mo glanced at the nearby cells and saw the pale-faced Mo Simiao. Her heart was bleeding with pain.
When she realized that she didn't see Mo Qin, she suddenly shouted, "Someone, someone, come!"
"What are you yelling for?! Be quiet! This is a prison cell, not a morning market!"
The jailer had a face full of flesh and slanted shoulders, and he tapped the thick wooden railing with a stick.
Madam Mo felt aggrieved. She was the wife of the prime minister, and everyone who saw her would give her some respect. Now she had fallen to the point of being scolded by a small pawn.
"Let me ask you! I have a daughter, Mo Qin, why isn't she here?!"
When the jailer heard the name, he didn't realize who it was.
"who?"
"My daughter! Mo Qin, Princess Rui!"
He still knew the title of Princess Rui.
"Princess Rui has Prince Rui to protect her. The Emperor will decide her life and death. You ask me? Who should I ask?"
He is just a prison guard and is not responsible for arresting anyone!
Madam Mo's heart choked. "She is my daughter. If something happened in the Mo Mansion, how could she escape? Why hasn't she been arrested?"
The jailer glanced at the crazy woman strangely, then walked away shaking his head.
Before the man had gone far, Madam Mo could still hear him muttering, "Having a mother like this is such bad luck."
“…”
Madam Mo cried for a while, then her voice gradually died down and she lost her strength.
In the prison filled with wailing, footsteps were heard.
The jailer from before led people in with a flattering look on his face.
"Hey, wake up, someone is here to see you."
Madam Mo turned around and looked at the person who came. She instantly became energetic, and her eyes were filled with moisture. She cried, "Mi Ru, I didn't expect that you are the only one who came to see me now."
Tears as big as beans rolled out of her eyes, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes. She suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Mi Ru... No, Queen, please save my life."
Seeing her old friend in such a miserable state, the queen couldn't help but tear up.
"Mo Youchao has done such a bastard thing that you have to suffer for it too. I feel really sorry for you. But now that you are accused of such a crime, there is nothing I can do for you."
The queen took two steps forward and looked at Madam Mo inside through the wooden railing.
"But don't worry, I can still protect Mo Qin. Shao Xuan treats her very well and will definitely not let her suffer like this."
Mrs. Mo, who was originally crying, slowed down her tears when she heard this. She stared at the queen with wide eyes, her eyes full of surprise.
So Mo Qin is safe and sound now, thanks to the Queen?
She bit her cheek, and the pain made her tears flow happily again.
"Then, then Miru, if she can't save me, can she save my Sisi? She's still so young..."
The queen's eyes were filled with sadness and she shook her head.
"Mo Simiao is the Sixth Prince's concubine. She can't escape this disaster no matter what."
Later, Mrs. Mo didn't hear a word the queen said.
After being locked up in the cell for a whole day, Mrs. Mo's mind gradually calmed down, and she called the jailer again.
"Mrs. Mo, what do you want?"
Perhaps it was because the queen had given her a greeting, the jailer's attitude towards her became much better.
"Go to Prince Rui's mansion and find Princess Rui. Ask her to find a way to help me! She will definitely help me..."
Mo Qin's life is still in her hands!
There was a trace of contempt in the jailer's eyes. Now the other person was in trouble, and this mother, not only did not distance herself from the matter, but also wanted to drag the other person into the water.
Seeing that the jailer did not respond, Mrs. Mo had no choice but to take off a hairpin from her head and hand it over.
The jailer's eyes lit up, he took it with both hands, weighed it, looked through it carefully, and even took a bite with his teeth.
"I will definitely do what you ordered, I will definitely do it!"
Three days passed.
There was still no sound from outside.
Mrs. Mo began to get anxious again. She urged the jailer several times, but what she finally received was the news that Prime Minister Mo had been beheaded and all his family members had been exiled.
She was wearing shackles and a coarse linen shirt, and had lost all her valuables.
Looking at the prosperous imperial city behind her, the scene when the queen came to visit her in prison that day came before her again.
Even though she was dressed modestly, the queen's elegance could not be concealed.
She is in prison, while her old friend is still high up and admired by everyone.
At that moment, she felt no gratitude, only resentment.
She was unwilling.
Obviously, both of them were famous noble ladies in the capital back then. Why could one of them marry the emperor who was still the prince at that time and become the crown princess, while she could only marry the nobleman Mo Youchao who had just entered the officialdom?
