As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and everyone looked in the direction of the young eunuch.
The young eunuch was so frightened when he saw that he was exposed that he fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, please spare me. I just had to go out to relieve myself. I am not delivering a letter to anyone!"
The high and mighty emperor glared at him with his sharp black pupils: "If you don't tell the truth, I will make you wish you were dead!"
The harsh voice made the listener's scalp tingle.
The young eunuch trembled and dared not raise his head: "Your Majesty, calm down. I just received a look from Prince Mo and I am going to deliver a letter to Concubine Xuan."
"I didn't know that there was someone else's spy around me. Come, take him to the Yan family of the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation!" the emperor roared.
"Yes." Outside the hall, two guards came in immediately.
"I know I was wrong. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me and forgive me. Prince Mo, please save me. I am doing this all for you. Prince Mo-------" The little eunuch howled miserably and was dragged away by the guards.
The emperor, who had originally had some doubts, was now certain that Prince Mo had definitely embezzled money, otherwise why would he send someone to deliver the message.
"Bao Renqing!" the emperor roared.
The commander of the Imperial Guards came in immediately and asked: "What do you want, Your Majesty?"
"Take all the royal guards and go to the cave in the back mountain three miles away from the eastern suburbs to check. If you really find silver, report it immediately!" said the emperor gritting his teeth.
"yes!"
Prince Mo's heart trembled and his face turned pale. This was the end. All the money he had saved was gone.
"Cang Tingchen, you look like you have lost your soul. Did you really embezzle the money? You are so bold. That is disaster relief money, used to save lives. How many lives have been ruined by your greed? Aren't you afraid that some wronged ghosts will come to claim your life in the middle of the night?" Yan Tianming snorted.
Cang Tingchen, who was already scared, got furious when he heard this: "Yan Tianming, shut up. You are indispensable everywhere. Who do you think you are? How dare you doubt me?"
"I'm indeed not a good person, but I won't embezzle the money that people use to save their lives. You are the dignified King Mo. When the Royal Guards find out the silver you have hidden, it will be unclear whether you are the King Mo or not." Yan Tianming deliberately tried to block his mind.
"You deserve to die." Cang Tingchen said angrily.
"Although I am uneducated and good for nothing, I am not a bad person. It is you with a dirty heart and rotten lungs who are the most disgusting." Yan Tianming continued.
"Shut up, if you say another word, I will pull out your tongue!" Cang Tingchen threatened.
The next moment, Yan Tianming cried out in pain: "Your Majesty, save me! Prince Mo wants to pull out my tongue. I don't want to become mute. Your Majesty, save me."
The emperor was already dissatisfied with Prince Mo, and he just heard everything they said. His face became even gloomier at this moment: "You two shut up, no one is allowed to quarrel until the matter is investigated clearly."
Yan Tianming then shut up obediently, but Cang Tingchen's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his clothes on his back were soaked: "Father, I have to go to the bathroom urgently, can I go out for a while?"
"Someone, bring the toilet. Wu An, you personally take Prince Mo to the side hall to deal with it!" The emperor snorted coldly, without any of his usual kindness.
Cang Tingchen's heart sank to the bottom. It was over. His father really didn't trust him anymore. In order to cover up his lie, he could only follow Wu An to the side hall.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xuan requests an audience!" The young eunuch announced outside the palace gate.
The emperor frowned. What was Concubine Xuan doing here? He glanced in the direction of the side hall, and his expression became even uglier.
"No, tell her I have something to do today and no one is allowed to disturb her!" The emperor snorted coldly and refused.
Although he usually doted on Concubine Xuan, the emperor would not take it lightly as it involved disaster relief money and the victims who died in vain.
"Yes." The young eunuch went to pass on the message.
When Concubine Xuan, who was outside the hall, heard that the emperor was busy with something and didn't want to see her, her face instantly turned ugly.
"Your Majesty has never failed to see me over the years. What's the matter today?" asked Concubine Xuan.
The young eunuch shook his head: "Madam Concubine Xuan, I don't know either."
"Prince Mo has been in the palace for so long, why hasn't he come out yet?"
"yes."
Concubine Xuan didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked away, and walked to the corner: "Go and check who else entered the palace today. I just saw a lot of guards go out. Something big must have happened. Send someone to follow them immediately."
"Yes." said the confidant Jinshu.
Not long after, Jinshu came back and said, "Your Majesty, the people who entered the palace today also included Ye Xingchen's family, the two elders of the Ye family and Ye Xiaosha, as well as the young master Yan Tianming of the Duke of Zhenguo who brought a few people with him, and the Regent also entered the palace.
I just found out that Prince Mo killed Princess Mo, and the Ye family brought Princess Mo to the palace to ask for an explanation. The Regent was passing by Prince Mo's mansion, and happened to see this, so he followed him into the palace."
Concubine Xuan looked extremely unhappy: "Chen'er is so confused. How could he kill Ye Xingchen? How could he be so stupid? If you want to get rid of someone, why do you have to do it yourself? You are really in trouble.
This damn Ye Xingchen, Chen'er didn't like her from the beginning. It's just right that she's dead now. The position of Princess Mo should have been a match made in heaven.
Send someone to inform Miss Jing right away. She was obsessed with Chen'er at first, but now that the position of Princess Mo is vacant, she must seize the opportunity."
"Your Majesty is wise! But Prince Mo is still inside. Should we help him?" Jinshu asked.
"No need. No matter how angry His Majesty is, he will not do anything to Chen'er. The worst that can happen is that he will give the Ye family more compensation." Concubine Xuan replied.
"Your Highness is right."
Inside the main hall.
Cang Boyi coughed twice softly and stood with some difficulty: "Your Majesty, now that the whole matter has been made clear, I will withdraw." He coughed a few more times.
The emperor looked over and said, "Since the regent is not feeling well, and the doctor I invited hasn't left yet, why don't we let him treat the regent? By the way, I summoned you to the palace a few days ago, why did you come and then leave without letting the doctor check you out?"
Cang Boyi raised his eyebrows. The emperor was testing him.
"Your Majesty, I had originally entered the palace that day, but then I suddenly felt stomach discomfort and unbearable pain. I was afraid of offending Your Majesty, so I went back directly." Cang Boyi explained.
"I see. Then the Regent should go to the side hall with Wu An, and summon the miracle doctor to treat the Regent!" The emperor's tone of command left no room for doubt.
"Yes." Wu An had walked over and stood beside the Regent.
[The emperor is really sinister. He must really want to kill the regent.]
[So eager to poison the Regent. 】
[I want to see where this miracle doctor comes from.]
[It's just in time to find out what kind of poison is in the Regent's body. ]
[Regent, go ahead and I will protect you.]
