Chapter 378 Escape

Mo Chen snorted lightly, his expression still showing dissatisfaction.

"If he pleads for you today, I will definitely punish you well." What a prince, there is an emperor above the prince, and he pays less and less attention to this courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.

Mo Yunzheng looked at the person standing aside, the emotions in his eyes were a bit complicated, what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd, he actually took the initiative to plead for himself.

Most of the time, Mo Qingsong is the one who adds insult to injury, which is really rare today.

At this moment, outside the Chonghua Hall, Ye Xuwan ignored her injuries and asked Hua Ying to wear Biqi costumes and cover her face with tulle. This gauze happened to be the one used by Princess Qiyue to meet the Holy Emperor that day.

"Hua Ying, please go in, don't say anything." She knew that this disguise would definitely be seen through, but if she used incense, it might be possible to fake it.

Hua Ying's figure is only 78% similar to Qi Yue's. They are both women, so their figure is naturally smaller and lighter.

"Miss, is this okay?" She was secretly worried. The maid next to Princess Qiyue might not be easily fooled.

Now that Qiyue's real body has not been found, it can only be concluded that he is missing. However, there is still a lot of hope that Qiyue is still alive.

"Hua Ying, you won't know if it can work until you give it a try." She wasn't 100% sure.

Ye Xuwan lit the incense, poked a hole in the window, and let the incense float in along the hole.

After about half an hour, presumably the incense had taken effect, she allowed Hua Ying to open the door and walk in.

Hua Ying pushed open the door and went in, and saw the maid lying beside the bed at a glance. She stepped forward cautiously, and then imitated the behavior of the Biqi people.

The maid looked at her figure in a daze, and then said in surprise: "Your Highness, why are you back?"

Ye Xuwan, who was beside the bed, saw that it was effective and immediately pricked up her ears to listen. It seemed that the maid really knew the whereabouts of Qi Yue.

"Your Highness, please take this slave with you. I really don't want to stay in this palace anymore." The maid seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and held Hua Ying's hand tightly.

In a panic, Hua Ying kicked down the incense burner nearby, and the maid's eyes became much clearer.

It's broken, and the incense doesn't have much effect.

She was anxious to leave, but the maid held her hand and refused to let go, "Who are you? How dare you pretend to be the princess!"

Seeing this, Ye Xuwan who was outside the door immediately opened the door and went in. The imperial guards behind her immediately controlled the maid. Naturally, she brought people from Dali Temple with her, otherwise she would not have acted like this.

Now the suspicion is all on himself. If he is not careful, he may end up with a false accusation.

"How dare you pretend to be a princess! I'm going to report you!" the maid said in a panic, knowing that it was over, everything was over.

Originally, she could go back with the people from Biqi Country, or return to her hometown to spend the rest of her life, but she seemed to have said the wrong thing just now, and it seemed that she really couldn't go back now.

"Master Li, please excuse me." Ye Xuwan looked at the person who came to take away the maid and said. She knew this person, but she believed that he was also an official who enforced the law impartially.

Although he is a member of the great royal family, it will be beneficial to the eldest prince to find out this matter, and he will definitely do his best.

Ye Xuwan sighed and just waited for the interrogation in Dali Temple.

Soon news came from there, the maid was also brought into the royal study room, and everyone related to the case stood in the main hall. Everyone knelt down and saluted. Mo Chen sat in front of the palace and said with a serious face: "Where did Princess Qiyue go?"

The maidservant was covered with wounds, which showed that Dali Temple had been tortured. In order to prevent the smell of blood from disturbing Long Wei, the palace maid even put a cloak on her shoulders.

"The princess has left the palace. I don't know where she went." The maid's face was full of pain, and the injuries on her body made her so painful that she could hardly speak.

"Did you help Qi Yue leave?" Qi Heng said immediately. Unexpectedly, the person his father placed next to his little sister turned out to be her accomplice.

"Your Highness, the princess doesn't want to marry. She tried every means to leave on the way here."

The maid climbed up to Qi Heng, knowing that she would not escape death even if she returned to Biqi Country.

She just helped conceal the princess's escape. As for where the princess went, she didn't know.

She has been hiding this matter in her heart. She has not had a good night's sleep in the past few days. Whenever she closes her eyes, it is this matter that makes her feel uneasy.

"Your Highness, the Princess, originally wanted to leave after a while, but Your Highness's letter from home made the Princess worried, so she resorted to this method."

Qi Heng's face turned dark. He just wrote something in the letter from home about preparing a dowry for her, but he didn't expect that she would run away because of this letter from home.

I had known for a long time that my little sister had an unusual temperament, but I didn't expect that she would rather give up this glory and wealth than leave.

"Did you make that corpse?" Mo Chen's voice suppressed the rest of the voices. Unexpectedly, it was a maid who disturbed the peace of the harem.

The entire palace was searched by the Royal Forest Army, and there was nothing suspicious at all. It seemed that Qi Yue had left the palace.

"It was a palace maid I randomly found in the cold palace who died of illness." The maid lowered her head and confessed everything. I'm afraid if she didn't tell her, she would really have no chance to tell her in the future.

It took her a long time to move the corpse to the well. In those days, the corpse looked like that in her dreams.

She was almost frightened to death by provoking a dead man.

Qi Heng frowned. Qi Yue had caused so much trouble by running away privately. It seemed that he was the only one who took the blame.

He immediately walked to the palace and said, "Your Majesty, Qiyue's incident has caused great trouble. In my opinion, it is better to announce that Qiyue has died of illness, which will also preserve the friendship between the two countries."

From this point of view, it seemed that Biqi Country was at fault for this matter, and he did not dare to ask for compensation. Otherwise, once the truth about this matter spread, it would only be Biqi Country that would be embarrassed.

Mo Chen knew Qi Heng's thoughts as soon as he heard this. Since he spoke like this, it became his thought.

"I am deeply saddened by the death of Princess Qiyue. I will ring the bell for three days, rest for three days, and bury her with the rites of a princess."

On the way back to the East Palace, Ye Xuwan felt helpless looking at her tightly wrapped hands. This injury was really in vain.

"Does it still hurt?" Mo Yunzheng frowned. Her injuries were so deep that her bones were visible. The group of people in Dali Temple were really merciless when they carried out the execution.

Ye Xuwan nodded immediately, with a little grievance on her face, and her fingers connected with her heart.

"Wan'er, let's go out of the palace for a walk, so that you can calm down a little bit." The two of them passed the city gate together, Ye Xuwan kept looking over there, and then Mo Yunzheng spoke.

There are many interesting things in the city, but the palace is boring. Wan'er must be tired too.
