Seeing the emperor's expression, Ye Xuwan had roughly guessed something and looked at Mo Yunzheng in disbelief.

He just shook his head slightly, indicating that Ye Xuwan didn't know what to do.

The emperor's eyes became more and more gloomy, and he slapped the table and shouted angrily, "What a scoundrel! Why don't you kneel down!"

These words were obviously addressed to Mo Qingsong.

Mo Qingsong immediately knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop, "Father, I don't know what I did wrong. The imperial doctor just said that the fifth brother..."

"I ask you, have you managed the floods in the south of the Yangtze River?" The emperor stared at Mo Qingsong.

This matter was clearly explained to him by the emperor himself at the beginning, but now he suddenly mentioned it, it was definitely not a coincidence.

But how is it possible?
Mo Qingsong began to sweat on his forehead. His mother-in-law clearly said that everything was in order, but nothing could be found even if he went to check again.

His intuition told him that it was definitely related to what the eunuch said just now.

For a moment, he didn't know whether the emperor was deceiving him or whether he really knew the cause and effect.

"F-Father, I must have taken good care of myself when I left..." Before he could finish his words, he was kicked to the ground by the emperor.

Mo Yunzheng took some time to watch the farce in front of him. There was a faint smile on his lips, and he advised, "Father, calm down and take care of yourself."

There was no emotion in what he said, but the emperor had no time to care about him now.

Mo Qingsong raised his head and looked at the emperor, and the ominous premonition in his heart became more and more serious, "Father, my son is really unjust!"

"Are you unjust? I don't think you are unjust at all! The victims of the Jiangnan disaster have arrived at the foot of the capital! If you have managed it well, where did these victims come from?!"

The emperor's anger was hard to get rid of. He originally thought that his son was just unwilling to give in. Even if he wanted the position of prince, he would fight for it openly.

How dare you use all kinds of dirty tricks!

When he heard the word "disaster victim", Mo Qingsong turned pale and couldn't even say a word of defense. He murmured a meaningless tone, as if he might faint at any time.

Just when Mo Qingsong had no room to defend himself, Mo Yunzheng took two steps forward.

"Father, if the eldest brother really comes back without controlling the flood, how can the adults who went elsewhere say that it has been completed? I am afraid that the rain has not stopped after the eldest brother left, which completely caused the flood."

He spoke with certainty, as if he wanted to swear for Mo Qingsong.

It seems that he is exonerating Mo Qingsong, but in fact he implies that the courtiers are colluding with Mo Qingsong.

The emperor is still alive, how can the prince have good relations with the ministers?

Mo Qingsong hurriedly knelt down, glared at Mo Yunzheng secretly, and walked to the emperor on his knees, "Father, the emperor did take care of things when I left. It was my negligence that I didn't check more than a few times before leaving."

Since Mo Yunzheng could say those words just now, he had no intention of letting him off the hook.

Both sides are wrong, and mistakes are less serious than no governance at all.

The emperor sneered, "Both of them think that I am old and confused and can't remember things? When you came back from Jiangnan, the fourth child received the news. It's a shame that I still care about your face. This is how you repay me!" "

Ye Xuwan really didn't expect that Mo Yunzheng could go so far in one move.

Even every step was expected by Mo Yunzheng.

The "false" secret letter that almost caused her to be dragged out not only saved her once later, but also came in handy now.

When the scene of that day was mentioned, Mo Qingsong's face turned pale and he turned his head to stare at Mo Yunzheng. "It's you!" He was so excited that he stood up and took three steps in front of Mo Yunzheng and grabbed his collar. "It's all your plan!"

"Father, you are all the sons and ministers of the fourth child!"

Mo Yunzheng didn't struggle, he just lowered his eyes and looked at the emperor sitting beside him, looking at each other quietly.

This is already a silent defense.

His lips moved imperceptibly, and the words he spoke were so soft that only the two of them could hear, "So what if I'm plotting against you? Just don't take the bait, idiot."

Mo Qingsong stared at him fiercely, with veins popping out on his hands. He immediately wanted to punch him, but as soon as he raised his hand, he heard the emperor's angry scolding, "That's enough! How long will this continue!"

Mo Qingsong's eyes suddenly became clear, and he let go of his hand in disbelief.

He had no doubt that if he had punched him just now, he would have been punished for several crimes.

The noisy sound in the hall finally ended with Mo Changyu's cough.

The emperor calmed down and looked around between Mo Yunzheng and Mo Qingsong, "Let's talk in the imperial study room."

This is because he doesn't want others to disturb Mo Changyu's rest.

After the group left, Mo Changyu slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing this, Concubine Xiao quickly stepped forward and touched his forehead, "You scared me to death, is there anything else that makes you uncomfortable?"

Mo Changyu shook his head, his face was still flushed due to illness, his voice was slightly hoarse, and he suddenly laughed when he looked at the place where Mo Yunzheng was standing just now.

He laughed hard, coughing and laughing at the same time. He finally stopped and said with a sleepy look on his face, "Fourth brother is really good at what he does. He deserves to be the son of the Empress Yuan."

Concubine Xiao was frightened and immediately encouraged him, "What method did he use? My mother and concubine told you earlier not to fight with your fourth brother. If you are healthy, there is no harm in fighting, but you……"

When she said this, her tears fell again, and she choked with sobs and asked Young Master Mo Changyu to go out to have some fresh air.

Mo Changyu waved his hands, his tone becoming more excited.

"I thought that Fourth Brother thought I was a sick person and he should be like everyone else and not take me seriously, but he was more ruthless than I thought."

Mo Changyu did not explain to Concubine Xiao.

He knew in his heart that his fainting was planned by Mo Yunzheng, and even the news about the victims might have been spread to the emperor's ears by Mo Yunzheng.

First, he put Concubine Lin in front of her, and then dug a hole for Mo Qingsong.

Even when he took advantage of his fifth brother, who was prone to whining when he was not careful, he showed no mercy.

He is truly born to be an emperor.
-
When Concubine Lin learned the news and rushed to the imperial study, Mo Qingsong had already been scolded several times. With Mo Yunzheng at the side, he occasionally added insults and jealousy, which made the emperor even more angry.

"What's going on?" Concubine Lin was still holding a cup of soup in her hand. When her eyes fell on Mo Qingsong, she felt a little more comforted, and she placed the soup in front of the emperor with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you should pay more attention to your health no matter how angry you are."

The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at Concubine Lin, "Take care of yourself? The good son you taught concealed the floods in the south of the Yangtze River and failed to report it. He also colluded with the ministers to bully his subordinates and hide it from his superiors!"

Concubine Lin's face froze, and she knelt down in front of the emperor in fear, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"If I know this, I will definitely not let him do such a treasonous thing! But Your Majesty, this matter is important, so it is better to go and investigate again."
