Chapter 326 Xie Jingmo is dead
Xie Jingmo comforted Deputy General Gao outside for a long time.
Come in and find Yun Zhao.
"Is there something wrong with the handkerchief?" Xie Jingmo lowered his voice and walked in front of Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao looked up in surprise and looked at Xie Jingmo.
"What's wrong?" Xie Jingmo said, "The expression on your face when you first saw the handkerchief clearly showed that there was something wrong with it."
Yun Zhao didn't feel that he had shown anything abnormal at the time.
She looked at Xie Jingmo in disbelief.
Xie Jingmo asked, "What's wrong?"
Yun Zhao was silent for a moment, then said, "There's something wrong with the handkerchief. Vice General Gao is here, so I can't let it out."
Xie Jingmo frowned, "What's wrong with the handkerchief? I saw Deputy General Gao holding it in his arms and looking at it several times. I also looked at it and didn't find anything wrong with it."
Xie Jingmo recalled it in his mind.
There is indeed nothing wrong with that handkerchief.
"You just took a peek from a distance, didn't you see it clearly?"
Yun Zhao shook his head. "Didn't you notice the handkerchief? It's been washed, and with soap."
Xie Jingmo felt even more puzzled. "Yes, Deputy General Gao said that this handkerchief was prepared by his wife as a gift for you. Isn't it normal for her to wash it and give it to you?"
Yun Zhao said, "Because I don't like the smell of spices when I use things, when I asked Deputy General Gao's wife to bring it in, I told her not to wash it. I will ask Fu Hai to soak it in lotus water. Deputy General Gao's wife is very careful and will not make a mistake."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingmo frowned.
Yun Zhao's expression was also very serious. She said, "Guess what needs to be washed specially for this handkerchief."
After hearing this, Xie Jingmo immediately raised his head and looked at Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao pursed his lips. "So—this is a warning from Prime Minister Yu." Yun Zhao spread out the pen in his hand and said, "General Xie, you must die tonight."
Xie Jingmo sighed, "Okay, you come."
The next day.
Xie Jingmo was beheaded and his body was left hanging on the cliff at the Meridian Gate.
Mu Chengyan was shocked!
Yun Zhao's efficiency is amazing.
Yu Xiang stood on the street, looking at the person hanging on the Meridian Gate, and said to Mu Chengyan: "Prince Regent, do you think that person above is Xie Jingmo?"
Mu Chengyan took a closer look and said, "They look very similar. Their height and build are very similar."
Yu Xiang smiled slightly, "I didn't expect Yun Zhao to do this for you, Regent, it seems I underestimated you."
Mu Chengyan was in a good mood at the moment.
He strode to Yun Zhao's palace. Yun Zhao was standing in the study with his back to him, wearing plain clothes.
"Zhao Zhao, don't be sad. Don't worry, I will treat you well."
Yun Zhao looked at the lotus outside with a faint expression and said coldly, "According to the agreement, you must release Deputy General Gao's wife immediately."
Mu Chengyan heard this.
Suddenly, Yu Xiang's words flashed through my mind.
I don’t know if the person hanging on the Meridian Gate is the real Xie Jingmo.
Noticing that the person behind him hadn't responded yet, Yun Zhao lowered his brows, "What? Are you going to go back on your word? I've already killed that person!"
Mu Chengyan sensed the anger in Yun Zhao's tone.
He sighed softly, "Zhao Zhao, how can I say whether it counts or not? It's just that I need to confirm again, is the person hanging on the Meridian Gate the real Xie Jingmo?"
He didn't think Yun Zhao would be so cruel to Xie Jingmo.
He had doubts in his mind.
Yun Zhao smiled. She turned her head, her eyes crimson as she looked at Mu Chengyan with raging anger. "If that's the case, there's nothing more to talk about. I've already shown my sincerity. It's you who doesn't believe me. Go away!"
Mu Chengyan was about to speak.
Yun Zhao was already angrily shouting: "Fu Hai, get him out!"
Fu Hai raised his hand, "Please!"
Mu Chengyan had no choice but to leave first. After the people were far away, Fu Hai wiped his tears and said, "Queen Mother, you really treat General Xie——"
Yun Zhao's eyes were solemn as he looked at Mu Chengyan's back, his hands clenched tightly, not letting go for a long time.
Fu Hai didn't see Yun Zhao's answer, so he went outside and cried with his head in his hands.
Outside the palace gate.
"Leave the person to me."
"No, it's not time yet." Yu Xiang stroked his beard. "Since Deputy General Gao's wife is such a threat to Yun Zhao, how can I just let her go?"
"If you really piss her off, there's no room for negotiation," Mu Chengyan said in annoyance. "You should know that she's the Queen Mother now. If she really wants you dead, she can just say a word. You know her temper very well. If she wasn't extremely cruel, she wouldn't be the Queen Mother. If you piss her off, she won't want anything and will fight you to the end. You're in big trouble!"
Mu Chengyan said in a serious tone, "Now, hand him over to me immediately!"
Yu Xiang pursed his lips.
Yun Zhao is famous for being cruel to others and to himself.
Otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to reach where she is today.
But he really didn't want to let the person go like this.
"Okay," Yu Xiang prepared to calm Mu Chengyan down first. "As long as you confirm that the person hanging on the Meridian Gate is Xie Jingmo, I will give him to you immediately."
Mu Chengyan frowned and looked at Yu Xiang coldly, "I'll prepare the people for me. I'll go check tonight. If the person above is Xie Jingmo, you release him immediately!"
Yu Xiang waved his hand, "I know, how could I lie to you?"
Mu Chengyan frowned and left.
After the people had gone far away, Yu Xiang sneered, "You're sick! Do you think I, Yu Xiang, am someone who's just there to help others?! It's ridiculous! Just because a mere Xie Jingmo died, you want me to let him go?"
The attendant whispered, "But if we don't give it to him, Mu Chengyan won't give up."
"So what?" Yu Xiang said with a smile, "I'm the prime minister. Yun Zhao doesn't dare to do anything to me. Besides, if Mu Chengyan attacks me, I won't be able to find Deputy General Gao's wife and won't be able to explain to Yun Zhao!"
Upon hearing this, the attendant smiled flatteringly, "Prime Minister Yu, this is brilliant! This is like taking control of the current Queen Mother and the Regent without any effort!"
Yu Xiang laughed, "Just give me some more time, I'll stabilize the court, and then I'll kill that little emperor! Let me take the throne! Then, the empress dowager, the regent, all of them, will be killed! No one will be spared!"
Late night at the Meridian Gate.
Mu Chengyan has been watching.
I thought that when there was no one around, I would intercept Xie Jingmo and see if it was him!
But there is no chance at all!
Under the Meridian Gate, there were all the soldiers who had served under Xie Jingmo at the border, as well as the people who came spontaneously to guard Xie Jingmo's body!
There were a lot of people gathered around.
Not to mention getting close to check, even standing down and taking a look is very difficult.
Under the Meridian Gate in the capital, candles were placed on the ground late at night. The candlelight was blazing, and mournful people were standing under them with their heads bowed.
Mu Chengyan frowned, and after a moment, he said to his attendant beside him, "Go, cook some porridge. They must be very hungry now. Let them gather around and drink the porridge. I'll take this opportunity to go up and check."
