MTL - Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent-Chapter 463 Involve the Mu family
Chapter 463 Involves the Mu Family
"Isn't this the token of Mu Shangshu's residence?"
Someone couldn't help but exclaim.
In an instant, Concubine Mu and her father Mu Zhongwei turned pale.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am so wronged, I don't even know why the token of my house is on the thief."
Mu Zhongwei hurried over and knelt down, kowtow to explain.
"Mu Shangshu, are you sure that you really have nothing to do with those assassins?"
Feng Yili looked down at Mu Zhongwei with downcast eyes, his voice was cold, and his body was full of coercion that made it hard to breathe.
Mu Zhongwei was sweating all the time.
He twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with difficulty: "Then, that's natural, why would my lord want to murder Prince Youshan?"
"That's right, our Mu family and Youshan Palace have no grievances or enmities, and we will not harm anyone. I don't know where the regent found the token of our Mu family, so he came to frame us."
Concubine Mu said in a sharp voice at this time.
Her eyes dodged a little.
They are very clear that this matter... really has something to do with their Mu family.
Back then, the emperor regarded Youshan Palace as a thorn in his side, so he wanted to kill Li Chengan.
But the emperor wanted to be a wise king in the eyes of the people, so he couldn't do anything to Li Chengan openly.
Therefore, they took advantage of the disaster in Yuzhou to incite public grievances, making it difficult for Youshan Palace.
Finally, Li Chengan was led to the disaster area to attack him.
The emperor is not easy to mobilize too many imperial guards, so he asked his father to find someone.
It is estimated that the token fell into Feng Yili's hands at that time.
They must not admit this!
"Really? But as far as I know, there are no more than five tokens in the Mu Mansion, and they are all used to give orders at important times." Feng Yili sneered.
Soon, he took out a medicine and said in a cold voice: "Although this assassin has been poisoned and dumb, this king's medicine can make him speak again."
so amazing?
Many people looked over with inquiring eyes.
In front of them, Feng Yili threw the pill into the mouth of the assassin.
The assassin coughed up a mouthful of black blood.
"Say, who ordered you to assassinate our lord?" Jiang Ying asked angrily.
The assassin gritted his teeth, unwilling to speak.
"Do you think your wife and children will be fine if you don't tell me?" Suddenly, Feng Yili used internal force to transmit sound.
What?
The assassin suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Feng Yili in fear.
"In the yard with sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the east of the city, your two sons are quite sensible." Feng Yili continued to transmit his internal force.
The assassin trembled violently.
"I said, I said, I am the Imperial Forest Army, and I only obey my master's orders." He said quickly.
Only obey his master's orders?
Isn't that... the emperor's work?
Many strange eyes secretly looked at Chu Zai.
This matter is too messy, too messy.
what is going on?
Chu Zai's eyes darkened again, with a feeling that a storm is about to come.
He gave the hidden guard who was hiding in the dark a look, hoping that the other party would kill the Imperial Forest Army without hesitation.
But at this time, Feng Yili began to interrogate.
"Tell me, who is your master? Are you sure that the emperor personally gave you the order?"
He, what does he mean?
The man's eyes were blank.
Suddenly, he saw Feng Yili casually holding up the token of the Mu family.
He gritted his teeth, and quickly changed his words: "No, although I am the Imperial Forest Army, there are many Imperial Forest Army in the imperial city, and we are not qualified to see the emperor. Yes, it was Lord Mu who came to find us personally, saying that the emperor let you die, So let's do it."
What?
Is Master Mu conveying the emperor's will to kill him?
Everyone seemed to be watching a big show, not to mention how surprised they looked.
"Absurd, how is it possible? My lord has never seen you, how can I give you an order!"
Mu Zhongwei said with a grim expression.
"What's this?" Feng Yili suddenly took out a bag from the man.
When it was poured out, there was a piece of gold with a special shape inside.
"Hey, isn't this gold rewarded by the emperor to the Seventh Prince?"
Someone shouted in shock.
Last year, Chu Yuemu was born, and Concubine Mu was favored at that time, so Chu Zai asked Hubu to make a box of gold similar to Chu Yuemu's zodiac sign.
At that time, many people were still very emotional, saying that the emperor loved his mother very much = Concubine Mu and the seventh prince.
"How can you have this kind of gold on your body?" Feng Yili asked quietly.
It's not on him!
The man's face was pale.
But he quickly realized that it was Feng Yili who put it on him.
He quickly bit the bullet and said, "This is a reward from Master Mu."
"Impossible, how dare you slander me, I want to kill you!"
Mu Zhongwei was angry and anxious, so he wanted to rush over and pinch the opponent's neck.
"I'm still here, Mu Zhongwei, do you still want to kill someone to silence me?"
Chu Rui went up and kicked Mu Zhongwei **** the heart.
"No, the Supreme Emperor. I don't know why this traitor has this kind of gold on him. He must want to frame me."
Mu Zhongwei kowtowed in panic and denied.
"That's right, Grandfather, this assassin must have stolen my gold."
Chu Yuemu also knew that the situation was serious, so he hurried over to explain.
But it was also at this time that Chu Rui's hidden guards came from the main hall next to him.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates found these things from those corpses."
Soon, a "Mu" house token and a few pieces of gold spread out in the palm of his hand.
Quiet, quiet...
The atmosphere is very quiet...
There is even a weird atmosphere pervading.
"Mu Zhongwei, what do you have to argue about? You want to assassinate the emperor, and you also want to assassinate Feng Yili. I'm afraid that Cheng An's death back then may have something to do with you."
Chu Rui kicked Mu Zhongwei hard again.
Mu Zhongwei's eyes were blackened by the pain, but he was still holding on.
He cried and pleaded: "The Supreme Emperor spared his life, the Supreme Emperor spared his life, the minister really didn't do anything, this is absolutely wronged."
"Injustice, with all the witnesses and material evidence, can you still be innocent?" Chu Rui was so angry that his heart ached, and he wished he could kill Mu Zhongwei right now.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the embarrassed Chu Yuemu beside him.
He asked in a cold voice: "I heard that the gold was given to you by your father. And Mu Zhongwei is also your grandfather, so, these things... Did you know about it and not report it, or did you participate in it?"
After saying these words, Concubine Mu and Mu Zhongwei's heads buzzed.
"No, the Supreme Emperor, the Seventh Prince didn't know anything. It was all done by the old minister. It was the old minister who was confused and falsely passed on the emperor's will to let the imperial forest army murder the regent. The old minister was ambitious and killed the son of King Youshan in order to seize military power. Assassinate the emperor, It’s also about hiding the truth.”
Mu Zhongwei hurriedly kowtowed and put everything on him.
Concubine Mu was full of panic, and she didn't dare to intercede anymore.
If this matter only involves her father, it is just the death of the Mu family.
But if Mu'er is involved, they will all be ruined.
"Emperor, what do you think of this matter? Do you think the murderer is the Mu family, or someone else?"
Chu Rui turned his head to stare at Chu Zai, holding back his anger and asked.
