After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 196 Father and Son, Brother and Brother

The Jinwu Guard officer in charge of guarding Huaiyang Wang's family was terrified.

When Xiao Jingheng came to see Mrs. Su, this officer was present with Mo Chenfeng.He had long felt that he had heard such a secret royal scandal, and there would be no good end, but he never expected that the retribution would come so quickly.

As soon as the emperor returned to Beijing, the Su family chose to kill himself in such a tragic way right under his nose, which made it impossible for the officers of the Jinwu Guard to explain.

"Didn't you ask you to keep a close watch on them?" The officer was furious, but it didn't help the situation. Everyone was dead. What can I do, I can only report the truth.

"General," the soldier in charge of custody was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand still: "Your subordinates are wronged! The subordinates have searched the house carefully several times, not to mention the candlelight, even the sharper ones We also put away the jewelry and hairpins according to your order, General, who would have thought that she would still hide things in secret! The subordinates really don’t know where she got the things to ignite the fire!"

"Damn it! If you don't know, you should be damned!" The officer cursed and turned around with a blue face.He himself was also in a panic, his legs trembled slightly when he walked out, there was really nothing he could do, he planned to go to Mo Chenfeng for advice first.

After all... Commander Mo was also present when the Su family met with the little prince. The two of them were like grasshoppers on the same rope, so let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!The officer of the Jinwu Guard thought desperately.

When the emperor returned to Beijing, Mo Chenfeng was actually very busy. The officer of the Jinwu Guard finally entrusted an acquaintance who was on duty in the inner guard to deliver the news. Mo Chenfeng didn't delay after receiving the news, and soon arrived at the palace gate See Jinwu Guard officer.

Because he knew that if something extremely difficult happened, the Jin Wuwei general would never trouble him.

"What did you say? Self-immolation?" After Mo Chenfeng heard the news, he was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time: "What's going on! Didn't you ask you to watch it carefully?"

"My lord, the matter has come to this point, I know I can't escape the blame." The Jinwu Guard officer sighed: "Su's house, I have already ordered people to search carefully several times, but she still..."

Mo Chenfeng narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.He also knew the inside story, of course he knew why the Su family had come to a dead end.

"You go back first." Mo Chenfeng finally sighed, and nodded towards the officer of the Jinwu Guard: "She has lived in that house for more than ten years, no matter how careful you are, you will not be more familiar with the environment than her. She is dedicated There are many ways to seek death, and it may not be easy for you to stop it.”

"It's good that my lord can understand the difficulties of the humble officers." The officer of the Jinwu Guard nodded gratefully: "The humble officers are dereliction of duty and are willing to accept punishment. It's just that the brothers under the humble officers are really not careless in their duties. My lord, if it is possible..."

"I will report this matter myself." Mo Chenfeng said, "I will truthfully report your difficulties to the emperor, but how the emperor will deal with it is beyond my control. Go back and wait for the news. The rest of the criminals must not have any more accidents."

"Thank you, my lord!" Mo Chenfeng was already willing to help, the officer of the Jinwu Guard was overwhelmed with gratitude, and wished he could kneel down and kowtow immediately.

well!Mo Chenfeng saw off the officer of the Jinwu Guard, feeling very embarrassed in his heart.This kind of thing... I can't hide it, so I can only bite the bullet and speak up!

He first recruited a confidant inner guard, briefly explained a few words, and asked him to go to Shou'an Palace to speak to the eldest princess, then turned and left, and went to answer the emperor.

The emperor has been in a bad mood these days.

Qiuhun returned halfway and suffered heavy losses.

The high-spirited princes who had accompanied him on horseback before had all turned into corpses and were transported back to Beijing together behind the imperial chariot team.And following at the end of the team were the corpses of King Huaiyang and his sons who had conspired together and were killed.

The emperor and Huaiyang Wang's mother were compatriots. During an autumn hunt, his son died, his brother died, and his nephew was almost dead. This made the emperor not only sad, but also gave birth to a sense of loneliness and powerlessness.

So he worked so hard to stay on the throne, what exactly was it for?The emperor recalled the past few decades, and suddenly, everything seemed dull.

It's just that he is still very clear that he is the emperor, no matter what happens, he can't show any slump, for the rest of his life, he can only stay here and not fall down.

Therefore, after returning to the palace, the emperor did not ask to see Xiao Jingheng immediately.He actually rejected the only remaining son in his heart.

For him, seeing Xiao Jingheng in the imperial study was equivalent to admitting Xiao Jingheng's identity as the prince, and it also meant that he had to accept the fact in front of him - all the outstanding sons were dead, and the rest was just a fool.

So after he came back, the emperor didn't see anyone, and he didn't issue any orders. He just locked himself in the imperial study room, chewing the bitter fruit left after Huaiyang King's rebellion with self-pity.

King Huaiyang... Heh!He is really his good brother, but he is dead...

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Mo Chenfeng's voice came from outside the door.

The emperor felt a little irritable, so he said angrily: "Didn't I say, don't bother me?"

Mo Chenfeng didn't dare to answer, he winked at Qi Zhengrong, who was also standing outside the door, the emperor's chief servant, Qi Zhengrong immediately helped to persuade him: "Your majesty, Mr. Mo must have something important to come here at this time, you Let's listen first."

The emperor was silent for a long time, but finally suppressed the irritability and impatience in his heart, and let Mo Chenfeng in.

"Your Majesty." Mo Chenfeng knelt down as soon as he entered the door: "I just got the news that the former Princess Su of Huaiyang burned herself to death."

"What?" The emperor was startled, he stood up immediately, walked up to Mo Chenfeng a few steps, and asked, "Didn't you tell the Jinwu guards to guard it strictly? How could such a thing happen?"

"Your Majesty..." Mo Chenfeng replied after hesitating for a moment: "A few days ago, the Eldest Princess took Master Jiu to see Su Clan. At that time, Su Clan seemed a little... not quite normal."

"Not normal?" The emperor frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Su Shi personally poisoned the maids and servants that the Su family gave her as a dowry," Mo Chenfeng replied, "the corpses were piled up in the ear room of her backyard. When the Eldest Princess brought Jiu Ye over, Su Shi dressed up and dressed as a princess. wearing the crown, sitting inside the house."

The scene described by Mo Chenfeng was so horrifying and weird that the emperor was stunned for a while before he asked, "You mean, she's crazy?"

The emperor's question made it very difficult for Mo Chenfeng to answer, he hesitated for a moment, and then answered cautiously: "From the point of view of my humble minister, the Su family may have already thought of death at that time."

　---Here is the dividing line of the emperor's mentality--
　　I was still a little bit shocked and slumped a bit.The brothers rebelled, all the sons died, and the only remaining illegitimate child was a "fool".

　　The emperor doesn't want to see Xiao Jingheng at all for the time being, even though it is his own child, when he thinks of this child, he still feels troubled, from every aspect.
