Chapter 344: Going to the Palace to Seek Justice
At this time in Xiaoyaozhu, everyone fell silent, and everyone looked in the direction of the woman's voice. Mo Jingchen turned his head to look in that direction, as he was too familiar with this voice.
At the gate, he saw the Crown Princess standing there, looking at him with a gentle smile, her right hand resting on the wall beside her. The Crown Princess was here because Ruofeng had brought her here.
After his master took Xiao He away, the Crown Princess kept asking him to bring her over to see if she could help. Thinking about what his master had entrusted to Xiao He, Ruofeng also plucked up the courage to bring the Crown Princess over secretly.
At this moment, Mo Jingchen blinked hard, fearing that it was his illusion and that his Crown Princess was really standing there safely.
It seems that what Shangguan Nanxing said was true, his Rouer was rescued by Su Yue.
"Rou'er, can you stand up now?" Mo Jingchen rushed to the Crown Princess and hugged her tightly.
"Prince, I can't stand completely yet, but it's much better than before. I can stand for a while with something to support me. This is all thanks to Su Yue."
The Crown Princess gently pushed Mo Jingchen away, and the two of them looked at each other and had so much to say.
"Noble Concubine Qin secretly imprisoned the Crown Princess and murdered an innocent girl. Come, arrest all the people in this courtyard and follow me to the palace. This prince demands justice!"
Seeing that his Crown Princess was safe, Mo Jingchen naturally had nothing to worry about. His face darkened and all the things he had hidden before were revealed.
Following Mo Jingchen's order, Eunuch Yu and others were all arrested.
When Eunuch Yu saw the Crown Princess coming, his eyes widened. He never thought that the Crown Princess had already escaped.
Then he regretted why he didn't go into the secret passage to take a look when he was putting out the fire. If he had known that the Crown Princess was not there at that time, he would have been prepared.
The captured eunuch Yu no longer had the sharp tongue he once had. He lowered his head very low, and it was obvious that he also understood that his situation was hopeless.
Not long after, Mo Jingchen and his men came out of the villa in a mighty procession.
"This...what is going on?" Master Bai heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that Concubine Qin imprisoned the Crown Princess and also talked about killing people and taking blood baths. Before he could figure out what was going on, the person suddenly disappeared.
"Master, do you want to notify the Imperial Concubine?" The servant beside him was naturally confused, but he still lowered his head and stepped forward to ask.
"Hurry, inform the queen, the sky is about to fall here!" After being reminded by his servants, Master Bai hurriedly gave orders.
In the Mo Kingdom Palace, the emperor had just finished his morning court session and was reviewing memorials in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... requests an audience." The emperor's personal eunuch, Eunuch Zheng, walked in with a bent waist and reported with his head lowered.
"Why are you so hesitant? The prince is here, let him in."
When the emperor said this, he closed the memorial in his hand and looked at Eunuch Zheng.
"In reply to the emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought a lot of people here, saying that... he wanted to file a complaint against Concubine Qin."
Eunuch Zheng thought about how the prince had just brought in a lot of people, so he said it out loud. Otherwise, it would be bad if the emperor blamed him for not saying it.
"Empress Qin? What's going on?" When the emperor heard what Eunuch Zheng said, he stopped writing the new memorial.
Thinking about how the imperial concubine said to him the day before yesterday that she wanted to go out of the palace, but he refused on the grounds that she had just gone out two days ago, the imperial concubine always had a bad temper. I don't know what kind of conflict there was between the prince and the imperial concubine.
"I don't know." When Eunuch Zheng heard the emperor ask this, he lowered his head and answered honestly.
"Perhaps the imperial concubine has a bad temper, and the prince is not feeling well and is here to complain. Let the prince come in."
The emperor saw that Eunuch Zheng could not say anything, but he did not care. He continued to pick up the next memorial and waved his other hand casually.
"Father, please make the decision for your son and daughter-in-law!" The emperor just lowered his head and was about to open the memorial when he heard his son come in and ask for help. He raised his head and saw the prince and princess kneeling in front of him.
"Princess Consort, now that you are well, why are you dressed like this?"
The Emperor saw the Crown Princess also kneeling on the ground, wearing some kind of men's clothing, and looking about to cry, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Only the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess came in at this time. As for Su Yue and others, they were all waiting outside the Imperial Study. After all, the Imperial Study was where the Emperor handled official business, and it was naturally inappropriate for such a large group of people to rush in.
During the time when the Crown Princess was paralyzed in bed and could not be cured for a long time, many ministers requested him to find a new Crown Princess for the Crown Prince. After all, the Crown Prince is the next Emperor of the Mo Kingdom, and the Queen cannot be a useless person.
He suppressed all these. After all, given the status of the Crown Princess's family, they could not be touched, at least for now. But he didn't expect why the Crown Princess suddenly got better?
But looking at her expression, it seems that things are not simple!
"Father, I am lucky. When I was imprisoned, I met a miracle doctor who cured me. As for the inappropriate attire I wore to see you, I really had no choice."
The Crown Princess replied with red eyes, but she deliberately mentioned the word imprisonment.
"What imprisonment? Crown Prince and Crown Princess, stand up and speak." When the emperor heard the Crown Princess' words, he was so shocked that he almost dropped the memorial in his hand. He looked at the Crown Prince in disbelief.
"Father, Imperial Concubine Qin is extremely bold. Some time ago, she used the bait of being able to cure the Crown Princess' illness to lure me into handing her over to her. Afterwards, she imprisoned the Crown Princess in her Xiaoyao Pavilion in Qinyan Villa. The Crown Princess was not rescued until today."
After Mo Jingchen finished speaking, he stood up and gently helped the Crown Princess beside him up. The Crown Princess couldn't stand steadily by herself, so Mo Jingchen let the Crown Princess lean on him gently.
"How could Concubine Qin do such a thing? Since the Crown Princess was imprisoned, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
After hearing what the prince said, the emperor immediately questioned it, which made Mo Jingchen smile sarcastically in his heart. It seemed that his father really doted on Concubine Qin.
But think about it, if it weren't for the favor of the emperor's father, Concubine Qin would never be able to compare with her mother in terms of birth status.
"Father, Imperial Concubine Qin threatened the Crown Princess' life. I was afraid she would hurt the Crown Princess, so I didn't tell you."
Mo Jingchen explained the reason why he had not said it before, but when he looked up at the emperor, he still saw a questioning look.
"As the crown prince, you should know that words are not enough, right?"
The emperor looked at Mo Jingchen. In his mind, Concubine Qin was just a little arrogant and domineering. How could she possibly imprison the Crown Princess?
"Father, the Crown Princess is imprisoned in the hot spring pool room of Concubine Qin of Xiaoyaozhu. There is a secret passage there. If it weren't for Concubine Qin, how could this son know so much?"
Mo Jingchen heard the distrust in the emperor's tone, so he went on to tell her where the Crown Princess had stayed before. Naturally, these were what the Crown Princess had just told her.
"What you said is not enough to convict Concubine Qin. We should call her here so that we can explain it clearly. Eunuch Zheng, bring Concubine Qin here."
After hearing what Mo Jingchen said, the emperor seemed a little hesitant, but of course he couldn't let the prince talk about this matter alone, and Concubine Qin had to come and confront him as well.
"Yes!" Eunuch Zheng walked out with his head lowered. He dared to take a deep breath only when he got outside the door. Just now in the imperial study, when he heard that Concubine Qin dared to imprison the Crown Princess and threaten the Crown Prince, he was so frightened that he dared not breathe. Only now did his chest, which was about to explode, feel better.
He just touched the non-existent cold sweat on his head, glanced at the person standing outside the door, and then ran towards Concubine Qin's bedroom.
In the imperial study, the emperor stopped talking and picked up another memorial. However, this time, he obviously couldn't concentrate on reading it.
Mo Jingchen and the Crown Princess looked at each other, then he patted her hand to comfort her. Concubine Qin would definitely fall today. After all, they had another move outside the door.
