Hong Qing observed Mo Wenqing's expression and said in a cold tone, "Master Mo, since Wang He has confessed his guilt and committed suicide out of fear of punishment, I will return to report to the Emperor!"
Mo Wenqing's thoughts were interrupted. "Guard Hong, there are indeed some doubts that need to be verified."
After hearing this, Xiao Ci's uneasiness finally dissipated a little.
As long as Mo Wenqing feels there is a problem, he will definitely check it out.
Hong Qing's brows were stern, "Master Mo, I don't think there are any suspicious points."
Not only Mo Wenqing, but also Xiao Ci changed his expression.
If Xiao Ci hadn't figured out who was framing him before, then after Hong Qing's repeated obstructions, he had already vaguely guessed that the person who really wanted him dead was his good father!
Realizing this, Xiao Ci felt as if he had fallen into the abyss of a cold pond.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
He let out a sad laugh, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.
After laughing, he roared with red eyes: "Since Father wants me dead so much, why doesn't he just give me a cup of poisoned wine?"
Hong Qing was afraid that he would talk nonsense, so he simply shot out a stream of internal energy at him and sealed his mute point.
Xiao Ci was speechless and wished he could skin Hong Qing alive.
As soon as he rushed forward, he was subdued by Hong Qing. He was breathing heavily, like a trapped beast.
"Master Mo, now that we have investigated everything, I will bring the Second Prince to the palace to meet the Emperor! Please, Master Mo, close the case as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Hong Qing took Xiao Ci away.
Mo Wenqing sat in the chair, his back already soaked with cold sweat, and his face was as pale as paper.
He thought about it over and over again, but he never expected that the person who arranged all this would be Kangdi!
He looked up at the cloudless, clear blue sky, but inexplicably felt that the sky in the capital seemed to be changing.
After hearing this, Concubine Xian knelt outside the imperial study and begged Emperor Kang to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Emperor Kang seemed to have not heard anything, and for a moment, everyone in the palace felt insecure.
When the news reached Xiao Rui, he laughed extremely happily.
Now Xiao Ci's plot to murder Xiao Xian failed, the matter was exposed, and he was thrown into the Heavenly Prison by Emperor Kang.
Xiao Xian was blind, and Xiao Qi was a useless piece of shit, so he was the only one left who could ascend the throne.
However, some staff members felt that there was something fishy about this matter.
"Fourth Prince, the Emperor has already expressed dissatisfaction with you for praying for rain. You should remain still and not move!"
Xiao Rui was obviously displeased, and said in a deep voice: "You always tell me to be cautious in what I say and do, but I have been suppressing myself! Last time, I was just one step behind and fell into the trap of the second brother!
This time, those who go to jail will go to jail, those who go blind will go blind, and only Old Eight will be left..."
Having said this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a chilling murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Fourth Prince, there are many doubts about the Second Prince's case! You'd better not act rashly."
The staff gave sincere advice.
However, Xiao Rui simply couldn't listen to anyone now.
He stubbornly believed that as long as Xiao Qi was dealt with, he would be the only one who could ascend the throne as emperor!
The staff felt disappointed when they saw Xiao Rui, who was almost in a frenzy and didn't know what he could do.
In order to avoid being implicated, he returned, packed some simple luggage, and left a letter.
That evening, Xiao Qi was suddenly assassinated on his way to send Bai Ruowei back. In order to protect Bai Ruowei, he was seriously injured.
Bai Ruowei found Qu Li, who performed an emergency spleen suture operation on Xiao Qi.
After the operation, despite being tired, she asked Bai Ruowei what happened.
Mo Wenqing also came with them.
The news of Xiao Ci's plot to murder Xiao Xian has spread throughout the capital. Even if Emperor Kang can show mercy this time, Xiao Ci will probably be demoted to a commoner if he survives, and will be doomed to have no chance of becoming emperor.
"Lord Mo." Qu Li's voice was light.
She is the one who knows the whole thing best.
This time, Emperor Kang's action of pushing his own son out to take the blame once again refreshed Qu Li's understanding of the four words "the emperor is ruthless".
An unfavored prince and an ambitious prince are destined to have a bad end.
"Ms. Qu."
Since entering the official career, Mo Wenqing has vowed to be an honest official serving the people and the country.
The previous Jingzhao Yins all resigned because they could not bear the threats from others.
He served as Jingzhao Yin the longest.
No matter how he was threatened, he insisted on his own opinion.
This time, although he knew that Xiao Ci was wronged, and the person who wronged him was the current emperor, he could do nothing.
Do it, and you’ll lose your head!
If you don’t do it, you’ll feel guilty!
He had been struggling with this for a long time, but unexpectedly, the Eighth Prince got into trouble again.
"How is the Eighth Prince's injury?"
While Qu Li was operating on Xiao Qi, he was wondering who Xiao Qi, who had never been competitive, had offended.
After pondering over it over and over again, she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.
It seems that Xiao Rui is the most suspicious, but the one who really manipulates the whole game is Emperor Kang!
"The Eighth Prince's condition is not particularly good. Although his spleen has been sutured, he has lost too much blood. It is unknown when he will wake up."
Mo Wenqing's already bad expression became even uglier.
He didn't know whether the person who ordered people to harm Xiao Qi was also instructed by Emperor Kang.
Qu Li secretly observed his expression and actually had a guess in his mind.
Mo Wenqing knew who was the mastermind behind the two incidents involving Xiao Ci and Xiao Qi.
"Master Mo, you must find out as soon as possible who harmed Aqi like this!" Bai Ruowei was in tears, and her eyes were swollen like peaches.
Mo Wenqing had no words to express his pain and was distracted.
Qu Li comforted Bai Ruowei and asked her to go in and guard Xiao Qi first.
"Master Mo, there are a few words I want to tell you alone."
Facing Qu Li's eyes that were bright and wise, illuminated by the candlelight, and seemed to be able to see through everything, Mo Wenqing felt a sense of uneasiness for the first time.
"Master Mo should have guessed the real mastermind behind this, right?"
Mo Wenqing's pupils trembled, "Ms. Qu, how would I know?"
Qu Li chuckled softly, "If you don't know, then you don't know! Why is Lord Mo so nervous?"
"I'm not nervous." Mo Wenqing pulled his lips awkwardly and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Lord Mo, the person who hurt the Eighth Prince, if I'm not mistaken, may be related to the Fourth Prince. You might as well go and check it out."
Mo Wenqing sighed heavily: "In that case, I will take my leave."
Looking at Mo Wenqing's figure gradually walking away, Qu Li's heart was also heavy.
The situation in the capital is becoming increasingly serious, and I'm afraid things will change soon.
Just as I was losing my mind, the cry of an eagle reached my ears.
Qu Li's knitted brows slowly relaxed, and a hint of joy appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Haidongqing had sharp eyes. When he saw Qu Li, he swooped down and landed accurately on her arm.
She took out a piece of jerky meat, fed it to the Saker Falcon, and then couldn't wait to open the stick box.
