Chapter 57 Ugly in appearance but beautiful in imagination
Mo Huaiqing said excitedly: "Sister, this is not mine, it is definitely not mine." The outer packaging of her medicine bags was not like this.
"Don't get excited. Someone wants to make you a scapegoat now. Even if it's not yours, people will think it's yours." Mo Yunzhu looked at Minister Sun and sneered contemptuously.
Minister Sun was a little embarrassed. He didn't dare to offend the Empress and the Crown Prince, so he could only follow orders on some matters.
"Miss Mo, what do you mean by that? With all the evidence, can you still wrongly accuse your second sister?"
Minister Sun felt frightened by being looked at, and immediately puffed out his chest and shouted at Mo Yunzhu.
"Father, let's go to the palace now. I want the emperor to see for himself whether the poison was given by my second sister!" Mo Yunzhu looked at Minister Sun, "And let the emperor see how ridiculous it is for Lord Sun, the Minister of Justice, to review the case!
Lord Sun, there are no outsiders here, so I will tell you straight, you are threatened by the Queen and the Crown Prince, and they want my second sister to take the blame, I don't blame you. But you'd better think it over, once I can prove that my second sister didn't do it, where did the Five Poison Powder come from, the Queen and the Crown Prince will definitely make excuses, and then they will just push you out as a scapegoat.
You and my second sister are actually the same, you are just pawns they want to get away with."
When Minister Sun heard this, his face turned pale instantly, and then red again. He couldn't believe what Mo Yunzhu said.
"Do you really think that my Mo Mansion is easy to bully? Whoever dares to touch my Mo Mansion, I will make him know the consequences." Mo Yunzhu's cold eyes made Minister Sun feel like he saw a Rakshasa from hell.
The extremely dark murderous aura seemed to be real and was blowing towards him. Even Chen Chunsheng was frightened and his face turned pale.
He suddenly understood what his daughter meant when she told him not to offend Mo Yunzhu.
I'm afraid Mo Yunzhu is really a hidden talent!
Another person who was frightened was her father Mo Tiancheng. He was shocked because the aura emanating from his daughter was just like himself on the battlefield back then.
But she had never been on a battlefield and had never killed anyone, so how could she have such a strong murderous aura?
But this momentum disappeared in an instant, as if it was just their illusion.
"Second sister, just wait in the Ministry of Justice with peace of mind. No one can frame you. Dad, let's go." Mo Yunzhu supported Mo Tiancheng.
"Wait a minute, Miss Mo, you, you really want to go to the palace to meet the emperor?" Minister Sun was a little frightened.
"With such a big pot being pressed down, how can our Mo family gain a foothold in the future? My father has been a soldier all his life, and my eldest uncle and third uncle are still guarding the border. Our Mo family is loyal to the court and the emperor, but now we are being slandered like this, even God will not agree! I think the emperor will give us justice. The prince has committed a sin, and he wants my second sister to take the blame. He is ugly and wishful thinking!" After saying that, she took her silent father away.
"By the way, you two, don't touch my sister before the truth comes out. If she gets hurt, I will slowly settle the score with you later." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Mo Huaiqing burst into tears, unable to believe that Mo Yunzhu actually protected her so much. She suddenly felt that everything she had done before was worse than that of pigs and dogs.
At this moment, she truly realized that her family members were the most reliable and the ones who loved her the most. It was really wrong for her to cause her elder sister to lose her reputation for a ruthless prince.
If I hadn't done that, maybe nothing would happen now.
Outside the Ministry of Justice, in the Mo family carriage, Mo Tiancheng immediately said anxiously: "Yun Zhu, we really have to go into the palace, do you have a way to save your second sister?"
"Dad, don't worry, I really have a way. Since the prince is so ruthless this time, don't blame me for being rude. I will never let this bastard turn over." Mo Yunzhu smiled coldly.
Then she instructed the Mo family guards outside: "You go and inform Master Xu Changyong separately, and tell him that I need him to help me go to the palace. Miss Ye will bring her two guards with her. Master Ji Xingyun is familiar with medicinal herbs and also needs to go to the palace. Yuanqing, go find Doctor Ji and give him a message for me."
Everyone split up in an instant, and Mo Yunzhu and Mo Tiancheng returned home and started changing clothes.
Mo Tiancheng hadn't worn his general's armor for a long time, and Mo Yunzhu also changed into an extremely grand and complicated palace dress.
Yuan Qing went to Prince Lan's mansion to deliver a message, telling Prince Lan that he didn't need to worry.
But Prince Lan was still worried, so he packed up and went into the palace.
An hour and a half later, people were already kneeling in Yu's study.
The Emperor Jun Ruilin, who was in his early forties, sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face. His majesty could not be ignored.
"Your Majesty, General Mo wants to file a complaint." The emperor's personal servant, Eunuch Gao, whispered in the emperor's ear.
"My dear Mo, who are you going to sue?" The emperor's deep voice rang out.
Mo Tiancheng immediately said, "Your Majesty, I want to sue Lord Sun of the Ministry of Justice for framing my second daughter, Mo Huaiqing, and slandering her for giving the Crown Prince and his guards the Five Poison Powder."
The emperor instantly got a headache. There were already many memorials on his desk asking him to depose the crown prince. The incident of the crown prince taking the Five Poison Powder fermented too quickly. How could those with ulterior motives not seize the opportunity?
"Where is Lord Sun?" asked the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Lord Sun is also in the palace, but the Empress summoned him to inquire about the case, so he went to see the Empress first." Eunuch Gao said softly.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Let him come to see me."
Eunuch Gao immediately asked someone to invite Lord Sun.
"Lord Mo, please tell me the whole story again. What roles do the others play in this matter? And who is the last Mr. Ji?" The emperor frowned when he saw the three young men, Xu Changyong, Ye Yuqing, and Ji Xingyun.
Xu Changyong was a recognized talent, and the emperor had a deep impression of him. After all, he was the favored grandson of the Minister of Personnel.
Ye Yuqing also knew that one of the candidates for the Crown Prince's selection of concubines this time was the granddaughter of the Minister of Works.
But he really didn't know Ji Xingyun, but judging from his appearance and temperament, he must be the young master of a wealthy family.
"Your Majesty, these people are here to testify to help clear up the case. This Young Master Ji is the owner of the Renshan Clinic in the Imperial City. His uncle is Imperial Physician Ji, who knows about medicinal herbs and medical skills. Imperial Physician Ji is on the way, cough cough cough." Mo Tiancheng explained hurriedly.
"Did the prince do this himself, or was he framed?" The emperor asked after a low groan. This was what he wanted to know the most.
Mo Tiancheng kept coughing and looked unhappy. Mo Yunzhu immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, my father has become ill because of my second sister. Please allow Yunzhu to speak on my father's behalf."
"Okay." The emperor looked at Mo Yunzhu. He had seen this future daughter-in-law many times, but she had never looked so dazzling and eye-catching as she did now.
Before, he had always felt that she was virtuous, with her teeth hidden when she smiled, a typical lady from a wealthy family.
But it was different at this moment. Her aura had changed, becoming sharp, and her eyes were clear and sharp, as if she had spiritual energy.
It's like a dead object suddenly comes alive.
