Yue Nanxuan sneered in his heart and pushed the file in front of him, "Since the emperor's uncle is so concerned, then come and take a look!"
Yue Chengning immediately stepped forward and after a careful look, he looked up at Yue Nanxuan and asked, "How does the emperor plan to deal with Lan Shuiyao?"
Yue Nanxuan smiled faintly and said, "Didn't the emperor's uncle come back specifically for this matter? What does the emperor's uncle say to deal with it?"
Yue Chengning said coldly, "Since there is complete evidence, murdering the royal family is a capital crime, so he should be sentenced to death!"
"Death penalty? But I don't believe Lan Shuiyao killed anyone. Who would be stupid enough to poison the medicine prepared for patients in her own clinic?" Yue Nanxuan pretended to be serious.
Yue Chengning lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "Your Majesty is right, this case seems to be full of doubts. Chengning has dealt with Lan Shuiyao several times, and she doesn't look like such a stupid person. Chengning also believes that the murderer is someone else!"
Yue Nanxuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. In just one day, Yue Chengning's attitude changed so quickly!
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be surprised. Cheng Ning just wants to find the real murderer and avenge Qing'er! Killing Lan Shuiyao by mistake cannot relieve the hatred in Cheng Ning's heart!" Yue Cheng Ning said in a calm voice, his eyes full of calculation.
"It's great that the emperor's uncle also thinks so. In this way, Yaoyao may still have a glimmer of hope. But I am afraid that my emperor's brother is so reckless. He has always felt guilty towards Qing'er, and Qing'er died tragically in the Lanshui Clinic.
He has completely lost his mind, and I don't know where he heard some nonsense from. He even dared to threaten me. If he sees Xiao Juan's testimony, he will definitely go even crazier, and no one will be able to persuade him by then!"
Yue Nanxuan stroked his forehead, looking embarrassed.
"Is there another reason why the Emperor is in such a dilemma?
The emperor likes Lan Shuiyao, right? I heard he wants to make her his queen?"
Yue Nanxuan was stunned, rubbed his hands and laughed, "Even the emperor's uncle knows about this? I am attracted to Lan Shuiyao. I have never liked a girl like this so much. It's a pity that it's too late.
Back then, I married her to Nanchen as a concubine based on Lan Mu's one-sided words. It was really unfair to her! Besides, Nanchen only had Qing'er in his heart. Because Qing'er was already married, he kept saying that he had forgotten about her. In fact, he just treated Yaoyao as a substitute.
You see, when Qing'er got into trouble, he was more active than anyone else! Yaoyao suffered because of him!"
He stroked his forehead again, pretending to be in pain. "It's just that Yaoyao is his concubine. It's a fact. I was pushed into a corner by him that day, so I confessed my true feelings. But..."
He blinked his eyes, "You also know Nanchen's personality. Let alone that he can't forgive Yaoyao. Even if he did, he would never let Yaoyao enter the palace, let alone become the queen! Alas! I am worthy of being the emperor..."
Yue Chengning smiled faintly, taking Yue Nanxuan's embarrassment into consideration. "Although Chengning is a generation older than the emperor, we grew up together. Chengning understands the emperor's thoughts, not to mention..."
His eyes darkened, and he suddenly said in a cold voice, "Besides, Cheng Ning hates Yue Nanchen. If Yue Nanchen hadn't sent Qing'er to Lanshui Clinic, Qing'er wouldn't have... Qing'er is already Cheng Ning's wife, but he still can't forget her. The many conflicts between Cheng Ning and Qing'er are also because of him!"
"Uncle, Nanchen is your nephew after all. Now that Qing'er is dead, let's just forget about it. Catching the murderer is the most important thing. But right now, I have to think about how to convince Nanchen. To be honest, I'm really afraid..."
He paused, then waved his hand, "Forget it, forget it, I won't say any more!"
Yue Chengning saw that the time was right and stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, there is something I want to tell you, Cheng Ning."
Yue Nanxuan sighed and said, "Uncle, just say whatever you want to say. There are only two of us here, no outsiders!"
"Chengning heard that Nanchen once mentioned the matter of the will to the emperor?" Yue Chengning asked mysteriously.
"Yes, but I think it was just said in anger. Besides, I have asked my mother, and Nanchen is worried about the lack of the will. But I am still a little disappointed by his worry this time. I have always believed that Nanchen does not care about the throne!"
"Your Majesty, what man in this world would not covet the throne? Power is the symbol of a man's strength. How many people have blinded their consciences in the face of power? Moreover..." He paused, "Your Majesty, there is indeed a will!"
"What did you say?" Yue Nanxuan stood up from the dragon chair abruptly, "Is there really a will?"
"Yes!" Yue Chengning nodded and looked at Yue Nanxuan proudly, "My brother wanted to pass the throne to Nanchen back then, but it was Chengning and the Queen Mother who stole the throne and helped the emperor to the throne!"
Yue Nanxuan suddenly collapsed on the dragon throne. It turned out that this will really existed and was not groundless!
“Your Majesty, don’t be anxious. Only the Empress Dowager and Cheng Ning know about the will. As long as Your Majesty takes this opportunity to kill Nan Chen, the Emperor of Nanyue will still be Your Majesty!” Yue Cheng Ning stepped forward and whispered, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Yue Nanxuan raised his head and murmured, "Kill Nanchen?" His eyes narrowed and he immediately shook his head, "No, it's impossible. Nanchen and I are brothers, how can I kill him!"
"But has Your Majesty ever thought about this? If you don't kill him, he will kill Lan Shuiyao, and you will lose the woman you love! And he might even steal your throne, and then you will have nothing!"
Yue Chengning sneered,
"With Nanchen's current power, all he needs to become emperor is a legitimate title. Once the contents of the will are known to the world, Your Majesty, please think carefully!"
Yue Nanxuan sat on the dragon throne in a daze, his face as pale as death.
"Think about it. In Lanshui Clinic, Nanchen dared to point the sword at the emperor. With the will in hand, would he still have any concerns? If you really want to stop him at that time, maybe not only the throne will be at stake, but the emperor's head will also be..."
Yue Chengning saw that the time was almost right and continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Uncle, please stop talking. Let me think about it!" Yue Nanxuan covered his head and closed his eyes in pain.
Yue Chengning would not give him a chance to breathe. He took another step forward and said aggressively:
"If His Majesty cannot make up his mind, then let Cheng Ning be the villain. Anyway, everyone in the court knows that Cheng Ning and Nan Chen are not on good terms. Cheng Ning will help His Majesty remove this obstacle!"
"What...what are you going to do?" Yue Nanxuan raised his eyes in confusion.
"Isn't Nan Chen in the prison now? Cheng Ning could have someone poison his food. He would never have thought that the emperor would poison him. When he dies, Cheng Ning will take the responsibility.
He was guilty to begin with. Even if he died, his subordinates would not be able to blame the emperor. All he had to do was show leniency to Cheng Ning!"
Yue Chengning said coldly, "Chengning is helping the emperor in this way, but there are conditions! Chengning is still young, and does not want to spend the rest of his life in the villa. I hope the emperor will sympathize with Chengning's heart to serve the country and re-employ Chengning. Chengning will not refuse even if he dies!"
"This... let me think about it, let me think about it!" Yue Nanxuan still couldn't make up his mind, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
The more Yue Nanxuan hesitated, the less Yue Chengning would doubt. After all, Yue Nanxuan and
Brother Yue Nanchen and his friends have been so close for so many years. If it weren't for power and women being involved, it would be really difficult to drive a wedge between them!
"Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly, before Nanchen becomes suspicious. If we delay for too long and Nanchen gets wind of something, things will become difficult!
You and I both know Nan Chen's martial arts. If he really wants to get out of that prison, wouldn't it be easy? In the final analysis, he is still concerned about the power of the monarch and his subjects, and the brotherhood!
But when these conditions do not exist, who in the entire Nanyue can be Nanchen's opponent? "Yue Chengning took another step forward and grabbed Yue Nanxuan's arm tightly, "Your Majesty, please give the order!"
Yue Nanxuan raised his head and said in an almost inaudible voice, "Uncle, is this really the only way out? I... Nanchen..."
"Your Majesty, Chengning has analyzed it very clearly. This is the only way out!" Yue Chengning emphasized his tone, his eyes filled with solemnity and determination.
“I…” Yue Nanxuan suddenly trembled all over, with a faint light in his dark eyes. He desperately grabbed Yue Chengning, “You go and do it. I don’t know anything, I haven’t heard anything, I…”
"Your Majesty, Cheng Ning takes his leave. Let's pretend that Cheng Ning has not been here tonight!" Yue Nanxuan's words are enough, and he will do the rest!
Qian Hun couldn't believe his ears. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would never have believed that the emperor would actually kill him.
Suddenly, Qianhun felt that it was not worth it for the master. He had done so much for the entire Nanyue, but this was the end he got! His eyes turned cold and he quickly disappeared into the dark night.
Just after returning to the Yongnan Palace, there were actually guards with swords waiting for him. Qianhun walked forward calmly and asked in a cold voice, "Does the emperor have any instructions?"
