Chapter 444 The murderer who killed Concubine Jin

Just like the late queen said, she only wanted the fifth prince to grow up safely and happily, and didn't want him to be involved in the struggle for imperial power.

Fenyun respected and feared Jiang Xinyue.

The fifth prince nodded and loosened the emperor's trouser legs: "Father, will you come to see your son again?"

Tang Shiliang held him aside: "Fifth prince, don't worry, as long as the emperor is free, he will definitely come to see you. You have to eat more and grow tall, understand?"

The fifth prince pouted: "I know."

What Fenyun was worried about was also what the emperor was worried about. Although the two were worried about different people, the results of their worries were the same, so the choices of the two were the same.

After getting on the dragon chariot, Wang Dequan reported everything that happened in the capital to the emperor. The emperor almost broke the armrest of the dragon chariot.

"Jin Guipin almost lost her life by plotting against the crown prince Guo Min. She deserved to die. It was Yue'er who was concerned about the relationship between Dayan and its vassal states and did not want to plant hidden dangers between Dayan and Goguryeo, so she persuaded me to spare Jin Guipin's life. How could she kill Rufei?"

Wang Dequan glanced at the emperor and did not dare to say anything else.

The emperor's trust and favor for the Queen Mother of Heaven has exceeded everyone's imagination.

Based on his understanding of the Queen Mother of Heaven, he felt that Jin Guipin was killed by the Queen Mother of Heaven.

Because the Queen Mother of Heaven's character is that if others do not offend me, I will not offend others. If others offend me, I will cut off the roots.

The Crown Prince is the Queen Mother's nemesis. How could she allow someone who wants to harm His Royal Highness to live in this world, under her nose?

This is impossible!

This is not in line with the Queen Mother's character at all.

I'm afraid that on the day when the emperor left the palace, when the assassin killed Mu Qianqian and learned that Mu Qianqian's face was fake, the Queen Mother had already planned to kill Concubine Jin.

It is precisely because Concubine Jin died that everyone suspected her, so she could not be the murderer. People often think that things can't be that simple, and it must be a frame-up.

This will make them appear particularly sober and smart.

In addition, it is widely rumored in the capital that it was Goguryeo's spies who spread rumors everywhere, saying that the Queen Mother killed their princess.

The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple worked together and arrested a lot of people. The people thought that they were all spies. Those who came to frame the Queen Mother of Heaven became more and more convinced that she was innocent.

And those who said bad things about the Queen Mother of Heaven behind her back would not be released during this period of time.

The people would think that those people were spies.

In fact, they did not think that all this was not directed and acted by Goguryeo, but that their Queen Mother of Heaven calculated that Goguryeo would make a fuss about this matter if she died, so she deliberately set up a trap to invite Goguryeo into the trap.

As long as Goguryeo moved, the suspicion of the Queen Mother of Heaven would be cleared.

All the mistakes were Goguryeo's mistakes.

To sum up, these were all Wang Dequan's personal guesses based on the Queen Mother of Heaven's personality.

But he felt that this was the truth.

The Queen Mother will not take the initiative to harm others, but she will not let go of anyone who wants to harm her.

The Imperial Palace -

behind the curling green smoke, a cold and hard face was reflected.

Ma Yiyang lowered his head, not daring to look at the gorgeous and unfathomable woman above him.

"Where are the spies? Have they been caught?"

Ma Yiyang nodded and said respectfully: "Just as the Queen expected, they thought that the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple had withdrawn their troops, and made a private appointment to meet. I followed the clues and arrested all four people."

Jiang Xinyue's eyes were clearly destructive, hiding danger: "The Emperor will return to the palace soon, can Minister Ma be disciplined well?"

What she meant was that in front of the Emperor, would they know what they should and should not say?

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I have my own way."

The king of Goguryeo was indeed smart. He knew that the grandparents' upbringing made it extremely difficult for Dayan to find out the true identity of the spies.

But this also had a fatal weakness.

That is, these spies had parents, and they had normal marriages and children.

They had families, and they had never been to Goguryeo and grew up on the land of Dayan, so it was much easier to separate them from Goguryeo.

There was no need for coercion, inducement, or torture.

He just had to tell them that the government could allow their families to get real civilian identity documents, and they could register with the government, and they no longer had to hide from the black households.

From now on, as long as they no longer informed Goguryeo, they would be good citizens of Dayan and could be Dayan people openly.

They didn't consider themselves, but always had to consider their families and children.

Once their identities as spies are exposed, it will be a huge blow to their families.

A wife and children are always a man's soft spot, no matter whether the man is good or bad.

In this way, they have to say whatever Ma Yiyang asks them to say.

Jiang Xinyue smiled softly, the danger in her eyes disappeared, and her face softened: "I have always been at ease with what Minister Ma does. You did a great job with Concubine Jin."

"It is my honor to share the worries of the Queen."

The Queen Mother could entrust such a secret matter to him, and even Lord Jiang and the most trusted people around the Queen Mother did not know, which meant that she had already regarded him as a secret weapon.

Ma Yiyang was never afraid that Jiang Xinyue would treat him as a knife in her hand. He was afraid that Jiang Xinyue would not use him and could not see his ability.

If he wants to do something, he must be the sharpest, most useful, and most indispensable knife.

In the future, he will have the opportunity to stand behind the prince and become the knife that the prince needs most.

He never hides his ambitions, which is what Jiang Xinyue admires most about him.

"I heard that Minister Ma has been very close to my cousin recently. Is he planning to propose to my cousin?"

Does the Queen Mother think that her family background is not worthy of Miss Jiang?

Or is she testing herself for the sake of Miss Jiang?

No matter which one it was, Ma Yiyang's attitude remained unchanged: "Replying to the Queen Mother, I have already proposed marriage to the Governor-General. In the next few days, the Governor-General will have a simple meal with my mother to finalize the marriage between me and the eldest girl."

After a moment of silence, he said, "Please rest assured, Queen Mother, I am sincere to the eldest girl. You don't have to take care of me because of nepotism. I can get to where I am today because of my real ability. In the future, I will definitely let the eldest girl live a good life that everyone envies."

The eldest girl believed in him, pitied him, and loved him.

He also respected her, pitied her, and loved her.

He would not use the eldest girl to pave his way to success. He wanted his eldest girl to live a happy and fulfilling life.

Jiang Xinyue laughed out loud: "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have given you the matter of Concubine Jin. I am very optimistic about you and my cousin, and I hope you will be together forever and have many children and grandchildren."

His eyes were sincere, and when he mentioned his eldest cousin, the light in his eyes was real.

He was sincere.
