The pet career of Shaoqing of Dali Temple

Chapter 407 The side hall was on fire, buried with the prince's ceremony
The imperial guards poured into Qingyang Hall.

"Escort!"

"Catch assassins!"

There was chaos in the hall.

Protected by the imperial guards, the emperor passed through layers of figures, and saw his fifth prince kneeling on the ground with a pale complexion, his figure precarious.

Qing Moyan knelt on one knee in front of Yuan Jun, covered Yu Yuan Jun's wound with one hand, and supported his shoulder with the other.

People's voices were everywhere in Qingyang Hall, making Yu Yuanjun's ears buzzing.

"Lie down." Qing Moyan ordered.

Yu Yuanjun fell to the ground.

"Go and get the imperial physician!" the emperor shouted.

As soon as the words fell, Qing Mo said with a stern face: "The minister brought the medical officer of Dali Temple and waited outside the hall."

"Please hurry up." The emperor did not hesitate.

Soon the medical officer rushed over from outside the hall, and after a brief inspection of Yu Yuanjun's injury, he said, "Although the injury is not deep, the sharp weapon is poisonous, and it needs to be moved to a quiet place quickly, so that the next official can diagnose and treat it."

"Then put His Highness Fifth in the side hall." The emperor said.

Qing Moyan found a few imperial guards, carried Yu Yuanjun and trotted all the way to the side hall.

The emperor asked people to investigate the little servant who assassinated Yu Yuanjun.

Even if he died of poison, he still needs to find out his identity source, how he entered the palace, and where he was assigned to serve as a servant after entering the palace.

Not long after, the head servant reported the result.

"This person used to be in the palace of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince left the palace after getting married. Because this person was very clever in handling affairs, he stayed. A few days ago, the emperor issued a decree to call the Fifth Highness into the palace, and this person was selected. If you are hit, go to Qingyang Palace to serve..."

The chief servant said clearly and without prejudice, but the words had other meanings in everyone's ears.

The emperor's eyes were deep and he remained silent.

After about one stick of incense, Qing Moyan hurried in from outside the hall.

The emperor saw that his robe was stained with blood.

"My minister is rude." Qing Moyan knelt down immediately after entering the hall.

"Forgive me, I forgive you for your innocence, how is Yuan Jun injured?"

"The wound can be cured, but the poison is not easy to cure, and... this poison is the same as the poison that killed the fourth prince. Fortunately, the medical officer brought by the minister was prepared, and brought a lot of antidote and so on. , there is no danger of life for the time being, but His Highness Fifth fell into a coma after taking the antidote, and he is still talking about when he will wake up."

The Emperor pursed his lips.

Qing Moyan spoke clearly and was prepared.

That is to say, the fifth prince, Yu Yuanjun, was most likely wronged, that's why people everywhere wanted to put him to death.

"Where is the prince now, call him here." The emperor ordered his servants.

Since the servant who assassinated Yu Yuanjun belonged to the prince, the emperor naturally wanted to ask.

"His Royal Highness took the Crown Princess to the Queen's place to pay her respects, and said that she had your permission from the Emperor."

The emperor nodded.

It was indeed his consent.

After waiting for a long time, the prince came with the servants.

The emperor glanced at him, "Where's Jingyi?"

"It's inconvenient for the princess to come, she is in the queen's palace." The prince stepped forward and saluted the emperor respectfully.

"Come and take a look, do you recognize this person?" The emperor pointed to the servant who was lying on the ground.

Only then did the prince find a person lying on the ground, covered with white linen.

A guard lifted up the sackcloth for the prince to check.

The prince looked at it for a long time and shook his head.

"You don't recognize him?"

The prince hesitated, "It looks familiar, but I can't remember it."

The emperor sneered, "When you lived in the palace, this person served in your palace, don't you recognize him?"

"I really didn't recognize it." The prince said seriously, "I don't know why my father asked about this person?"

Someone on the side talked about the assassination of the fifth prince just now.

The prince's face changed drastically, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Qing Moyan, with a hideous look in his eyes.

Qing Moyan lowered her eyes, stood beside the emperor like the most orderly courtier, and didn't even look at him.

The prince had no choice but to kneel down and plead guilty, but he denied that he had anything to do with it.

The emperor was in a bad mood, and the autumn rain outside the hall became more and more urgent, and there was an indelible chill in the hall.

The emperor was still questioning the prince, Qing Moyan suddenly raised his head and turned to the outside of the hall.

The emperor noticed his unusual behavior and looked out along with it, but he saw nothing.

"Mo Yan, what are you looking at?" the emperor asked.

"Has the emperor heard anything?" Qing Moyan asked.

Everyone held their breaths and listened quietly, only the sound of pattering rain outside the hall.

Qing Moyan shook her head, "Please forgive me for going out of the hall to check."

The emperor nodded.

Qing Moyan casually ordered two Imperial Guards to go with him, and after a while, one of the Imperial Guards ran back in panic.

"Emperor... Your Majesty, it's not good, there is water in the side hall, please evacuate the Qingyang Hall quickly, Your Majesty!"

It's all good, how can it leave the water.

It is impossible for anyone to believe this.

At this moment, Qing Moyan came in from outside the hall, the official robes on her body were covered with black ash, "The fire in the side hall is too fierce, it may be difficult to control, please leave the hall quickly, Your Majesty!"

The crowd surrounded the emperor and stood up, and walked out of Qingyang Hall in the rain.

It was only when they were outside that everyone could see the fire on the other side of the film hall.

Because of the wind direction, it was raining outside again, so the smell of burning did not reach Qingyang Hall.

Looking from a distance, the side hall was already shrouded in a sea of ​​flames.

"Why did it catch fire..."

"...His Royal Highness is probably still inside."

"This is too much of a coincidence. First, he was rescued by Lord Shaoqing after being assassinated, but now he is about to be burned to death..."

The murmurs of the crowd reached the emperor's ears.

The prince was standing beside the emperor, and he heard these words verbatim.

He really didn't arrange this matter, although he did intend to get rid of Yu Yuanjun, but today he brought Lin Jingyi into the palace to pay his respects to the queen, and by the way, he wanted his mother to clarify that he was poisoned. He didn't have time to take care of Yu Yuanjun at all.

Qing Moyan... you are really ruthless.

The prince stared at the direction of the side hall, his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves.

It wasn't the first time he and Qing Moyan had confronted each other, but it was the first time he saw Qing Moyan use such a reckless method.

The fire in the side hall burned for an hour and a half before it was extinguished.

The imperial guards cleaned up the wreckage of the side hall, and moved out four corpses from it.

It was scorched black and could not see its true colors at all.

Qing Moyan was identified by others, and the identities of the four corpses were finally confirmed.

A medical officer in Dali Temple was burned to death because he refused to abandon Yu Yuanjun and escape alone. Two other servants were servants in the palace, and the last one was Yu Yuanjun himself.

The emperor looked at the scorched black mass on the ground, his face livid.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body." The servant at the side advised in a low voice.

The emperor squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "According to the emperor's etiquette, a generous burial." Then he angrily shook his sleeves and left.

When he was about to turn around, his eyes flicked past the prince with undisguised sharpness.
