The queen mother wants to go against the sky: General, please take your seat

Chapter 283 Crossbow Arrows in Liaodong Army

"By the way, is Concubine Wei dead?" Mo Sangqing suddenly asked Zhan Yi when he was about to leave.

The corner of Zhan Yi's mouth twitched, and he said, "Major General, did you just remember to ask about this?"

Mo Sangqing pointed at Zhanyi. To be honest, among the three chief guards around him, only Ai Jiu is a reliable person. He can be counted on when necessary. This and Zhou Jing, General Mo shook his head, Neither of these two can be counted on!

"Concubine Wei is still alive on the street," Zhan Yi said hastily, "I don't know now."

Yun Mo said, "Did she get hit by an arrow?"

"It is said that the arrow went in from the left shoulder," Zhan Yi said, "Many people heard the imperial concubine screaming for pain."

"Then where is she now?" Yun Mo said, "Where is she now?"

Zhan Yi said, "Go to Prince Rui's residence."

"Let's go," Mo Sangqing patted Yan Dongjin's shoulder.

Yan Dongjin said: "I also have to see Prince Rui?"

"Let's go outside the city," Major General Mo said, "This matter has nothing to do with me, what should I do? I'm guilty of not being a thief?"

But you have been evil, Yan Dong looked at his elder brother and thought, but Little General Yan didn't dare to say that.

"I'll come back when I go," bent over and whispered to Mo Liangyuan who was lying down, and Mo Sangqing pushed Yan Dong away.

Not long after Mo Sangqing and his party left, Nanny Gui came looking for them.

"I know about Concubine Wei's assassination." Before Nanny Gui could speak, Mo Liangyuan said, "How is she doing now?"

Nanny Gui replied: "Prince Rui called some imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to leave."

"Called Sun Da?" Mo Liangyuan asked.

"No," Nanny Gui said, "Prince Rui said that Mr. Sun has to stay in Changle Palace."

Mo Liangyuan whispered, and suddenly asked Nanny Gui: "Are Prince Qi and Prince Kang still in the Shouhuang Hall?"

This question sounds like it has nothing to do with the assassination of Concubine Wei, Nanny Gui was stunned for a moment before replying to Mo Liangyuan's words: "The two princes just left the palace, they should go to Prince Rui's residence."

"Wait for me to get up," Mo Liangyuan insisted on sitting up with his arms supporting the bed.

"Empress Dowager?" Nanny Gui was startled, and hurriedly ran to the bed to support Mo Liangyuan, and said anxiously, "Empress Dowager, you can't get up now!"

"It's okay, I won't move much." Mo Liangyuan smiled, patted Nanny Gui's hand that was supporting her, and said in a low voice, "Prince Rui is a filial person, he didn't call Mrs. Sun, it seems that Concubine Wei There is no danger of life."

Nanny Gui felt that it was true that Prince Rui was filial to Concubine Wei Gui, but the prince also cared about Mo Liangyuan, but Nanny Gui knew this well but could not say it. How could a son be so worried about his widowed stepmother?

"Wear my mourning clothes," Mo Liangyuan said to Nanny Gui, "I have to comb my hair too."

Nanny Gui had nothing to do with Mo Liangyuan, and she couldn't go out to find Sun Fangming now, so she had to help Mo Liangyuan wash and change her clothes.

Half an hour later, in Prince Rui's residence, an imperial doctor held a tray containing crossbow bolts in front of Prince Rui.

The crossbow had just been taken off Concubine Wei's body. It was very short, the length of a palm, and was stained with blood. It looked extremely glaring when placed on the ebony tray.

"Is this crossbow arrow exactly the same as the one that shot Zhao Yue to death?" King Qi raised his head to see the crossbow arrow and asked Prince Rui.

Prince Rui hummed, and said: "Because the murderer who killed Zhao Yue has not been caught yet, that crossbow is still sealed in Dali Temple."

"Then what are you waiting for?" King Qi said, "Let the people from Dali Temple take that crossbow bolt for comparison."

"How is the situation of my concubine mother?" Prince Rui didn't answer King Qi's words first, but asked the imperial physician.

The imperial doctor hurriedly said: "The arrow did not hit the vital point of the empress, so the life of the empress is safe."

"Life is worry-free, life is worry-free," King Qi said impatiently: "This king is tired of listening to your words. If life is worry-free, that person will not be in pain anymore? Don't you have to suffer?"

The imperial doctor felt that what he had encountered at this moment was a purely innocent disaster, and he was not the one who assassinated Concubine Wei, so why did Prince Qi get angry at him?

Prince Rui waved his hand at the imperial physician to make the imperial physician retreat.

The imperial doctor said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants to see you."

"Okay," Prince Rui responded, "My lord will visit her in a while."

The imperial physician then withdrew.

King Qi snorted coldly and said, "Who is the murderer?"

At this moment, Kang Wang said: "Second brother, this will only be clear after investigation."

"Killing people is nothing more than having a grudge." King Qi looked at Prince Rui and said, "Who has grudge against Concubine Wei?"

Kang Wang said: "It's also possible that there is an enmity with the third brother."

"I have a grudge against your third brother, so you won't come directly at your third brother?" King Qi looked at King Kang again and said, "Who do you think you should attack Concubine Wei? To kill your mother, how can you add hatred to your mother?"

Kang Wang spread his hands and said, "I don't know."

"Second Brother, what do you want to say?" Prince Rui asked.

"Who did Consort Wei want to kill last night?" King Qi asked.

King Kang shook his head quickly when he heard King Qi's words: "It can't be the brothers and sisters of the Mo family. Even if they wanted revenge, they wouldn't choose this time today. It's not obvious that they are the murderers?"

"That's the person who wants to instigate you to become enemies with the brothers and sisters of the Mo family." King Qi turned around and said to Prince Rui, "What do you think?"

"Then, is that Duke Protector?" King Kang guessed.

"My lord," Zhao Jihuan shouted from outside the door.

Prince Rui: "Come in."

Zhao Jihuan entered the room and reported: "My lord, General Mo took General Yan and General Yun of the imperial guards out of the city, and Li Yun took five thousand cavalry to the city."

King Qi and King Kang immediately looked at Prince Rui.

"Five thousand cavalry?" King Qi said, "So many?"

"The remaining three thousand cavalry have yet to arrive," Prince Rui said, "Mo Sangqing transferred eight thousand fine cavalry to Beijing."

"What does he want to do?" King Qi asked with a dark face.

"You take my token to go to Major General Mo and give it to him," Prince Rui ordered Zhao Jihuan to say, "You stay with him to help today."

"Yes," Zhao Jihuan took the order and left.

"The third child?" King Qi shouted.

"These eight thousand cavalry are to replace the two battalions of the capital, as well as the imperial guards." Only then did Prince Rui explain to King Qi: "Mo Sangqing discussed with me, and I agreed."

"Then this capital city will become a good relationship in the future?" Qi Wang said dissatisfied: "You are really generous."

"Why don't you watch Duke Hu hold the two major battalions of the capital?" Prince Rui said, "Second brother don't worry, I know it well."

"Then who is going to kill Concubine Wei, do you know?" King Qi asked bluntly.

"I don't know," Prince Rui shook his head.

"If you don't know, check it out," King Qi said, "Everyone in the street has seen it. If we don't find out the murderer, what face will our royal family have?"

"Let's start with the crossbow arrows," Kang Wang suggested, pointing to the crossbow arrows that the imperial physician had put on the coffee table.

Prince Rui raised his eyes to look at his fourth brother, and said in a low voice: "This is a short crossbow in the Liaodong Army, countless people use it, what does this mean?"
