Chapter 157 The poor little man whose marriage was exchanged VS the inhumane prince 42
The eldest princess’s mansion was still brightly lit at this time, and the lanterns under the eaves were gently swaying, flickering on and off.
The eldest princess anxiously paced back and forth in the room, looking at the hourglass next to her from time to time, "What's going on? So many people have gone, but no one has come back?"
"Princess , wait a minute, the people sent out this time are all elites, there is no reason for failure. "
The prince-in-law was already very sleepy and said with a yawn.
"What a waste of waiting. The carriage from Prince Jin's Palace has returned to the capital with the prince. The woman is not dead at all. I am worried about those people sent out... It would be better if they all die, but I am afraid of being caught and leaving some alive... That book The palace is over..."
The eldest princess stopped pacing back and forth, her face was extremely bad, and she said with a worried look.
The prince-in-law was so frightened by the eldest princess's words that he lost all drowsiness in an instant.
"Have you all returned to Beijing? I didn't know..."
"What do you know? You know that Min'er will end up like this if he hugs his concubine and fools around in the room. The result of your father’s lack of discipline!”
The eldest princess was already very angry, and now she even scolded the consort with all her might.
The prince-in-law is disapproving. Isn’t it because you are used to her like that?
He didn't want to argue with the princess about this.
Immediately changed the subject, "The soldiers we sent out are all dead soldiers. At most, the whole army will be wiped out. Even if they are investigated, they will not be able to find us."
The advantage of the dead soldiers is that even if the mission is If he fails, he will also find a way to commit suicide without leaving any hidden dangers.
Seeing that the anger on the eldest princess's face remained unabated, she added, "Why don't you send someone to inquire early tomorrow morning to see what's going on."
The eldest princess glared at him, "Why are you waiting for tomorrow? Wait until Tomorrow you and I will be finished."
She turned around and pushed the door out of the house, came to the yard, and quickly called a secret guard over, asking the other party to quickly check and clean up any suspicious traces.
Imperial Palace, Jiaofang Hall, the Queen’s Palace.
“Mother, Bai Lian and the others did not get Yan Shizi’s blood!”
The nanny said to the queen who was sitting in front of the dressing table, taking off her makeup and cleansing her face.
The queen turned to look at her, frowned and said: "What's going on?"
"Back to the empress, Bai Lian said that the prince's driver was also among them. The prince was helping when he started. Not knowing what to do, and because Yan Shizi’s martial arts skills were too high, they couldn’t get close enough, so they simply came back.”
Grandma Nai gave a brief summary of the news she had received.
When the queen heard this, she patted the dressing table angrily, "Are all these people blind? You dare to continue to act when you see the prince's car inside, don't you know how to delay the time?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Nanny was so frightened that she immediately knelt down when she saw the Queen was furious.
The two maids behind her who were responsible for removing the queen's makeup and cleansing her face were also kneeling on the ground, trembling and afraid to speak.
After the anger in her body subsided, the queen became worried again, "What about the prince? Is he hurt?"
"Go back to the queen, the prince is fine."
Grandma stepped forward and said.
After hearing this, the queen felt relieved, and then frowned again, "Then there were no clues left at the scene, right?"
Since the operation failed, it must not leave any traces. Once investigated, Come out, even if she is a queen, the consequences are not something she can bear.
"Don't worry, Madam, the prince has helped clean up the mess. The prince also secretly ordered people to burn the corpses left at the scene."
Nanny thought about the news reported by Bai Lian and responded in time. road.
"That's good!"
When the queen heard this, she felt relieved.
Since the prince helped clean up, he must have recognized that those people were hers, and he should come to Jiaofang Hall tomorrow to ask her about this matter.
The queen frowned and had to think carefully about how to explain this to the prince.
I am also confused about whether I should tell the prince about Princess Jin and the emperor.
Seeing that the nanny was still kneeling on the ground, she said, "Get up, stop kneeling."
"Thank you, empress."
The nanny stood up.
Thinking of the news those people brought back, he said again: "Empress, there is one more thing. Bai Lian said that there was another group of people acting at that time, saying that they looked like dead warriors, and the target seemed to be Yan Shizi. Concubine."
The queen was surprised and turned to look at the nanny, "Who is Concubine Yanshi?"
The nanny lowered her eyes and recalled, "Bai Lian said his technique was similar to that of the eldest princess's palace, but I'm not sure."
The queen was slightly startled, "I remember that Princess Zhaomin disappeared."< br>
“Back to the Queen, yes, Dali Temple is already investigating, but no clues have been found.”
Nanny stepped forward to remove the remaining hairpin from the Queen’s head. He also smoothed out his bun and made three thousand black hair fall down. "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is targeting Concubine Yan Shi, but do you suspect that Princess Zhaomin's disappearance is related to Concubine Yan Shi?"
The queen did not care about this matter, "This matter has nothing to do with us, help me go to rest."
"Yes, empress!"
Nanny quickly helped the queen to rest. .
……
East Palace, study.
Nangong Mo stood by the window sill, holding a tweezers in his hand, gently stirring the candlelight in the lampshade, glancing sideways at the person kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Has everything been taken care of?"
"Qi Your Highness, all the corpses left at the scene have been burned, and nothing remains. The traces of suspicion will never be traced to the Empress."
"In addition, the body of the assassinated Concubine Yanshi has also been sent to Dali Temple, and a case will be filed at Dali Temple tomorrow."< br>
The secret guard knelt on the ground, lowered his head and respectfully reported back.
“Well done.”
Nangong Mo nodded slightly.
“Are you sure it was the eldest princess who did it?” He asked again.
“Back to Your Highness, my subordinates have found the people in the eldest princess’s mansion and are going around to inquire about this matter. With similar techniques, they should be inseparable.”
The secret guard said respectfully. said.
A coldness flashed across Nangong Mo's eyes, "My good aunt, it turns out to be you."
"Let someone kill the eldest princess's only seedling, and then choose some beautiful thin horses to send to the prince-in-law's bed. I think the prince-in-law will like it very much."
If you dare to kill her, how can you not pay some price?
"Yes, Your Highness."
The secret guard quickly retreated.
Nangong Mo also left the study and walked to the backyard, not knowing where to go.
I don’t want to go to the Crown Princess, I don’t want to go to Li Liangdi, I don’t want to go to Wan Liangyuan even more...
Other women are even less interesting.
After thinking about it for a while, he simply turned back and went back to his bedroom to sleep.
......
In the early morning court, Emperor Qiming had just sat on the dragon throne. After the civil and military ministers on both sides paid their respects, the personal eunuch began to chant, "If there is something to do, we will start to play, if there is nothing to do, we will leave the court." ”
"My brother, I have something to report." King Jin immediately came out.
"Oh, it's the emperor's brother, get up and talk."
Emperor Qiming raised his brows, smiled and raised his hands, his attitude was extremely kind.
But if you look carefully, you will find that his smile does not reach his eyes, and is even full of coldness.
No one knows that he has been jealous of this imperial brother for decades.
But for the sake of raising a woman and a son for him, he didn't give him any less in terms of glory, wealth and honor.
“I’m reporting to the emperor, my brother wants to file a complaint.”
After King Jin said this, he ignored the whispers of the courtiers on both sides and put the memorial prepared in his sleeve. Raise it high above your head.
"Complaint? Submit it."
When Emperor Qiming saw that King Jin was so serious about his matter, he nodded directly to the eunuch on the side.
When the eunuch handed the memorial to him, he opened it and looked at it. His face instantly became gloomy, and he closed the memorial with a final snap.
Dare to assassinate Yan'er and his wife, especially when his wife was pregnant with a child.
That was his son, daughter-in-law and grandson, so bold.
But what came out of his mouth was something else.
“The bold thief is so unbridled that he dared to assassinate the Prince of Jin and his concubine!”
As soon as Emperor Qiming said this, everyone was in an uproar. What did he mean? The prince and concubine of Jin Dynasty were attacked? Who is so bold as to challenge the Jin Palace?
Although King Jin was an idle prince and had no rights, he was deeply favored by the emperor. Not only was he the youngest son of the Queen Mother, but he also had a good relationship with Emperor Qiming's brother.
Assassinating his son and daughter-in-law, isn’t this a tiger plucking hair from its mouth?
Except for a few mansions present yesterday that had heard about it in advance, the other officials were very shocked.
The eldest princess’s consort was extremely nervous, but to avoid others seeing the flaw, he kept his face concealed.
