After Mo Qingsong said that, he pulled out a long sword from the waist of the guard next to him, and put the sharp blade against Mo Yunzheng's throat.

"Mo Yunzheng, you are so brave!"

As Mo Qingsong spoke, the strength in his hands also increased a bit.

After being suppressed by Mo Yunzheng for so many years, he didn't expect that he would eventually lose his temper. Mo Qingsong thought with a contemptuous smile on his lips.

But Mo Yunzheng didn't panic at all, he just looked at Mo Changyu on the bed and the emperor who was still confused sitting beside him with a pair of phoenix eyes.

"My son has never done such a thing, but my dear brother, why are you so sure?"

"Just because of a scar on my shoulder? It's so one-sided. If Dali Temple decides the case like this, how many people in Dawn will die unjustly?"

"you!"

Mo Yunzheng's words made Mo Qingsong completely angry. If the emperor was not still here, the sword in his hand would have been chopped down directly.

The emperor frowned and looked at Mo Yunzheng.

"You said you were sleeping in the palace, do you have any evidence?"

"There is no one else in Erchen's palace. There was Xiao Zizi before. Since Xiao Zizi left, Erchen has no personal eunuch."

"Your Majesty! Yu'er is the only one who comes into contact with the assassin. Why don't we let him tell the difference."

Concubine Lin said, gently approaching the emperor and whispering.

The emperor's eyes were downcast, and his eyes were focused on Mo Changyu who was behind him. Mo Changyu's face was pale, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a moment when he suddenly received so many people's attention.

Mo Yunzheng's dark eyes flashed with fierceness. He was actually looking forward to Mo Changyu's answer more than anyone else.

"Yu'er, tell me, the person who stabbed you just now was Zheng'er?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Mo Changyu seemed to have suffered a huge trauma. He stood up nervously, with a few strands of cold sweat on his forehead because the wound was so severe.

Mo Changyu's eyes were wandering, and he looked at Mo Yunzheng with some embarrassment.

"Just now, when I ran over to help my father put out the fire, I seemed to see the fourth brother behind the rockery. Maybe I saw it wrong..."

Mo Changyu's tone was trembling, as if he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing.

His voice was not loud, but it was enough to surprise everyone present.

Especially the emperor, it seemed like a heavy hammer hit him on the head. He seemed unable to believe what Mo Changyu said, but the facts were right in front of him, not to mention that Mo Changyu was injured and it was impossible to lie.

Mo Yunzheng smiled contemptuously.

OK, taken the bait.

"Listen to what the fifth brother said, then the fourth brother's statement just now that he was still resting in the East Palace was a lie!"

Mo Qingsong took a step forward and shouted loudly.

"Mo Yunzheng! As the current prince, how could you do such a treasonous thing!"

Concubine Lin also looked distressed.

"Zheng'er, you are confused. This is your father. How could you do such a thing?"

The sound of the trial was mixed and complicated, but Mo Yunzheng had not said a word so far.

The emperor's frown deepened. He couldn't believe that the prince he had chosen would do this, even though all the evidence pointed to him.

Mo Yunzheng was the child he had with his late queen.

"My lord! See your Majesty!"

Just as he was talking, Lin Fengyun led a group of people in, followed by soldiers escorting a person.

I saw that the man was wearing black night clothes and had scars on his shoulders. He was dressed exactly like the man who had just stabbed him.

The emperor's heart tightened. "This is……"

"Report to your Majesty, I happened to be patrolling near the palace. When I heard the news, I hurried in to capture the assassin. I happened to encounter this man with a suspicious identity. I was hiding in Tibet and brought him here."

"After interrogation, it turned out that he was the assassin just now. I went out of my way to capture him."

As he said that, Lin Fengyun's eyes couldn't help but look at Mo Yunzheng who was kneeling on the ground. The moment their eyes met, it seemed that a lot was said.

Silence here is better than sound. Even if a word is not spoken, everyone knows what the other person means.

Mo Changyu's eyes trembled, and his widened eyes seemed to be bloodshot.

Why, why is this happening.

Lin Fengyun actually betrayed him?

"In other words, this is the assassin who assassinated me and injured Yu'er?"

As he spoke, the emperor stood up. He glared at the man in black kneeling on the ground, his tone trembling with anger.

"You are so brave, you actually assassinated me! Believe it or not, I will kill all nine of your clans!"

The assassin snorted and looked at the emperor with disdain, as if this life was not his at all.

"Emperor, what's wrong with the emperor? I can kill whoever I don't like and kill the nine tribes, right? Okay, I don't even know who my nine tribes are! It's up to you!"

"you!"

Mo Yunzheng raised his eyes slightly as he listened to what the assassin said.

"Now that the assassin has been caught and brought to justice, I am curious as to who the person that fifth brother saw just now is, or if there is no such person at all."

Mo Yunzheng's words were so cold that everyone present trembled with fear. Mo Changyu's hands unconsciously clenched the corners of the quilt, and there was a trace of cold sweat on his palms.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid I was too anxious at the time. I must have read it wrong."

Mo Changyu's words were obviously not as confident as before, and the emperor naturally noticed it.

The emperor's eyes dropped a bit, and he squinted and turned his head to look at Lin Fengyun who had just come in.

"General Lin, where did you catch this assassin?"

Lin Fengyun saluted.

"At the door of the fifth prince's palace, thanks to Eunuch Xiao Yezi."

The emperor was a little surprised when he heard this.

"What does it have to do with this eunuch?"

"It was Father-in-law Little Leaf who first discovered that something was wrong with this man. After dealing with the assassin for a long time, we were able to capture the assassin. In order to catch him, Father-in-law Little Leaf was seriously injured and is now being treated."

The emperor never expected that the eunuch he wanted to kill some time ago would actually help him catch the assassin today.

"Father, I have a favor to ask of you."

As soon as Lin Fengyun finished speaking, Mo Yunzheng took over and kowtowed with a serious tone.

"My son and I have long ceased to have a master-servant relationship with Little Ye Zi. I regard Little Ye Zi as a relative and friend. My son was unwilling to expose the rumors in the palace before just to reduce trouble, but I didn't expect that they would be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives."

"Little Yezi is a kind and loyal person. He will definitely not do anything out of line. Now that Little Yezi is seriously injured, please ask Father to take back his life and let Little Yezi return to the East Palace."

It has to be said that Xiao Yezi was indeed injured because of the emperor. Due to emotions and reasons, the emperor should reward him with something.

Now there was Mo Yunzheng interceding on his behalf. Naturally, the emperor could not refuse this request.

"In that case, I will grant your wish."

"When Little Leaf recovers, I can take you back to the East Palace."
