The first daughter of the first daughter

Chapter 388 Scapegoat

All eyes were on Mo Xuanming. Eunuch Wu took a look at the surrounding crowd and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, a prince was injured by an arrow, and the arrow was poisoned. Now he is unconscious..."

"Who is injured?" Mo Xuanming looked around from the prince's seat, and found that several people were not present.

"Back to the emperor, it's the fourth prince."

"Hao'er? No..." Concubine Xi was stunned for a moment when she heard Eunuch Wu's reply, and she stood up in panic after realizing it, "No, why did Hao'er get hurt? Eunuch Wu, you read it wrong, right? "

"Your Majesty, the slave didn't see it with his own eyes. It was the guards who came to report that the injured was indeed the Fourth Prince."

Concubine Xi's eyes widened in disbelief, then she stumbled and ran out.

At first, when Eunuch Wu came in to report, she was the most calm, even proud. She thought that the plan was perfect, and Lou Xuanying, whose life and death were controlled by her, would obediently listen to her. dead man...

"Lou Aiqing, I leave this place to you. Others don't run around. Vice-General Jiang, follow me to check." Mo Xuanming was very annoyed at the assassins in the palace, especially tonight, when the envoy of the Qiang Wu Kingdom They were all present, and if such a thing came out, where would they put the face of the Xuanmo Dynasty?
He had to take care of this himself.

"Where's the assassin? How brave! He even dared to break into the palace to assassinate him. Have you caught him?" Mo Xuanming asked Eunuch Wu as he led Vice General Jiang out.

"Back to the emperor, the assassin committed suicide by taking poison after injuring the fourth prince, and now his body is still in the dense bushes outside Yuxiao Pavilion."

"He committed suicide in fear of crime?"

"Your Majesty, this slave thinks that he should be a dead man bribed by someone behind the scenes. He achieved his goal and committed suicide by taking poison." The Emperor usually sees the peaceful side of the palace, so he naturally doesn't understand this matter, but Eunuch Wu is different. Walking in the palace, it is natural to see the dark side of the palace, and quickly put forward an opinion.

His words not only did not calm the emperor's anger, but even made him even more angry.

"The messenger behind the scenes?"

"Don't be angry, your majesty, the dragon's body is the most important thing. This is just a guess of the servant."

While speaking, a group of people had already walked outside the Yuxiao Pavilion, where a crowd was standing around, and they could hear Concubine Xi's shouts from a distance.

"The Emperor is here—"

When Eunuch Wu yelled, the people standing around quickly dispersed and knelt down to salute.

"Long live the emperor, long live."

"Why are you all surrounded here? Junhao is injured, why don't you send him back to Xile Palace for treatment?" Mo Xuanming walked through the crowd into Yuxiao Pavilion, and glanced at everyone present. Mo Jinghao, Lou Xuanying and others They are all there, and the imperial doctor has also been reported here, the medicine box has been opened, the imperial doctor should have treated Mo Junhao the moment before he arrived, but now all the imperial doctors stopped treating and knelt down on the ground, he Annoyed at first glance.

"My Majesty, the poisonous arrow has hit the fourth prince's vitals. It is best not to move him at this time, so as not to endanger his life. The servants are preparing to take out the poisonous arrow for the fourth prince."

"Then why are you still kneeling? Hurry up and save people!"

"Yes, yes, I will rescue the fourth prince immediately." The imperial doctor didn't dare to delay, and immediately got up from the ground to continue the unfinished treatment.

Mo Xuanming frowned and looked at the black and shiny poisonous arrow on Mo Junhao's chest, his eyes became colder the more he looked.

"My Majesty, the arrow was smeared with poison, and it pierced the fourth prince's heart. The poison has already attacked the heart. Even if the arrow wound is treated, if there is no antidote, I am afraid it will be a disaster." After discussion among the imperial doctors, One of the imperial doctors stood up and clapped his hands to report.

"Hao'er..." Concubine Xi was crying until her heart broke, and she cried even more terribly after hearing this. With the support of the palace maid, she barely stood still, "Doctor, you must save my Hao'er, Hao'er can't something happened..."

"Damn it, who in the palace is so bold as to instigate an assassin to assassinate the prince! Mo Jinghao, I have sent you to thoroughly investigate this matter, and you must find out who is behind the scenes. Once found out, I will never let him go lightly!"

Lou Xuanying saw clearly from the side. After the emperor gritted her teeth and finished speaking, Concubine Xi's body trembled slightly, and even the crying stopped slightly.

"Your majesty, there is no need to thoroughly investigate the assassination of the fourth prince. The mastermind behind the scenes is here. Let's wait for her to admit it." Lou Xuanying said loudly. Although these words were addressed to the emperor, her eyes were fixed on Living in Concubine Xi, she smiled slyly.

"Girl Ying, what do you mean by that? Do you know who is behind the scenes?" Mo Xuanming frowned and looked at her, followed the direction of her gaze, and found that she was looking at Concubine Xi.

"Your Majesty, I heard from the guards that the Crown Princess was also at the Yuxiao Pavilion when the Fourth Prince was assassinated." Eunuch Wu approached Mo Xuanming in a low voice, and quickly took a big step back spontaneously.

Mo Xuanming looked at Lou Xuanying with inquiry in his eyes, and confirmed to her again: "Are you really in Yuxiao Palace at that time?"

"That's right, and I saw that poisonous arrow piercing the fourth prince's heart with my own eyes, oh, I also called for the guards, and I also sent for the imperial doctor, Concubine Xi, I've been considerate enough Bar?"

Concubine Xi opened her eyes wide and stared at Lou Xuanying in disbelief. She actually spoke to her in such a playful and teasing tone. If there weren't so many people present, she would definitely have asked her why Hao'er appeared in Yuxiaoting. Why is it not Mo Jinghao who hit the arrow but her Haoer!

"Besides the assassin who committed suicide by taking poison, do you see other accomplices? You said that the mastermind behind the scenes is here, maybe you should tell me directly, who is he?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, wait..."

"Wait? Lou Xuanying, I'm not in the mood to listen to your nonsense right now. This is a serious matter that cannot be ignored. I order you to speak out about that person immediately!"

"Oh, what a pity, I originally wanted to wait for Concubine Xi to admit it herself. The emperor is so urgent, it seems that it can't be done." Lou Xuanying said that she was sorry, and originally wanted to force Concubine Xi to admit it after she was in a mess. Yes, I'm afraid it won't work now.

"Concubine Xi? Nonsense! A tiger's poison does not eat its own son, how could she send someone to assassinate her own son?" Mo Xuanming glared at Lou Xuanying angrily, feeling that she was still playing tricks on them at this critical moment.

Lou Xuanying chuckled softly: "No, Concubine Xi didn't intend to kill the Fourth Prince. Her original intention was to kill Mo Jinghao. Unfortunately, the Fourth Prince was more tragic and became a scapegoat."

"The emperor... the emperor is clear, there are no concubines, and Lou Xuanying is spitting blood..." Concubine Xi crawled towards Mo Xuanming, hugged his leg and cried until she was in tears. Her whole body was suffering. Worried about Mo Junhao's situation, but also to prevent Lou Xuanying from stabbing him.

"Whether it's blood spitting or the truth, the empress knows very well."

"What evidence do you have that Concubine Xi did it?"
