Chapter 120 Furious
When Wei Shangshu learned that the prince had gone to Xiangyun Village, he immediately asked his grandmother to enter the palace to tell Concubine Li.
Concubine Li was in a panic. After thinking for a moment, she called the palace servants to change her clothes.
The palace maid wanted to apply powder on her, but Concubine Li held her hand down.
"I will not touch rouge today." Not only that, she looked in the mirror and put some blush on the ends of her eyes.
It looked like he had just cried, and he didn't sleep well last night, so he was really haggard.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?" The palace maid wondered.
Concubine Li said: "Go to the Qianyuan Hall and see the emperor."
Now was the time to seize the opportunity. She had to convince the emperor to be lenient with her third brother first, and she couldn't tell the truth yet.
Concubine Li knew the emperor well and knew how to speak in order to plead for mercy.
She urged the eunuch carrying the sedan along the way: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
When they arrived outside the Qianyuan Hall, Concubine Li made a brief announcement and went in.
There was no emperor in the main hall, so Concubine Li walked around the screen and went to the back hall.
Across the mica screen of Longteng Jiuyuan, I saw a figure sitting behind the crystal curtain.
Concubine Li immediately lifted up her skirt and knelt down, sobbing: "Your Majesty, you must save my concubine's third brother. He was instigated by a traitor and did something wrong!" This was
what Wei Shangshu and Concubine Li had planned. , when the matter could not be concealed, he pushed Mr. Wei out.
But they were afraid that the prince would ask for consecutive charges, so they planned to lie and claim that someone else instigated Mr. Wei to pay for the murder.
I hope I can be given a lighter sentence.
Concubine Li felt that she had made a good plan. She begged the emperor sincerely, and by the time the prince returned to the palace, the matter was a done deal.
As for the father-son relationship between the prince and the emperor, there will definitely be a quarrel over this matter.
For her, it was actually a good thing.
As long as their father-son relationship becomes worse and worse, her son Mo Changgong can live a more comfortable life.
As a result, Concubine Li cried even more sadly.
"My concubine's third brother has been harmed miserably, woo hoo!"
At this time, a cold and taunting voice came from behind the curtain: "Empress Li Fei, you are crying too early."
Hearing this voice, Li Fei froze, and the blood flowed all over her body.
The two young eunuchs lowered their heads and silently stepped forward to open the crystal curtain and move the mica screen.
There is no emperor behind the curtain, but Mo Lingwei, who is rushing back to Beijing after a long journey!
"Ah——!" Li Fei yelled and fell to the ground, her face frightened.
Why is Mo Lingwei here?
His brother's bodyguard saw the prince's carriage stopping at Xiangyun Village with his own eyes!
Mo Lingwei stepped down from the couch, with a dragon embroidered with gold thread in the center of his white and red robe.
In Li Fei's eyes, the dragon's eyes stared coldly, with a frightening and fierce look.
Mo Lingwei looked sideways at her expression and poured a glass of water leisurely.
He uttered a cool word from his thin lips: "Ms. Li Fei, you don't seem very happy to see me?"
The young man lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
He said with a scornful smile: "Why, is this prince a ghost? Why did I scare you like this? Or I usually do too many evil things and am afraid of everyone I see."
Concubine Li's forehead was covered in cold sweat, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
She held on to her rationality and explained with a trembling voice: "It turns out to be Ling Wei... I just didn't expect it to be you. I thought it was the emperor. It's really against the rules for you to see me in such a mess."
Mo Ling Weijun Suspicion flashed in the cold thin eyes.
He put down the teacup: "Father asked me to wait for him here. Do you think I want to stay for a long time?"
He originally rushed back to the capital to visit Shen Ningning.
But the emperor sent his guards overnight to look for him, and he returned to the palace to hear what was going on.
However, this time he went out and brought back a lot of new gadgets for Shen Ningning, so he asked the guards to pull his carriage and go to Xiangyun Village to deliver them to the little guy first. Concubine Li was absent-minded and panicked, holding on to the seat beside her and staggering up: "I see..."
Seeing her like this, Mo Lingwei was even more sure that she might really have a guilty conscience.
"Since the emperor is not here, I will go back first." Concubine Li wanted to leave.
But Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows: "Stop."
Li Fei trembled, and her face turned an inch whiter in fear.
But after all, she had experienced strong winds and waves, and she quickly stabilized and turned around: "Ling Wei, what else can you do?"
Mo Lingwei slowly walked up to her. Who could have imagined that a boy of nearly twelve years old could actually He was half a head taller than her.
The young man narrowed his eyes and asked, "What did Mr. Wei do to make Concubine Li panic like this?"
"Nothing, nothing!" Concubine Li denied.
Mo Lingwei sneered: "You don't want to tell? That's fine, I'll send someone to inquire and they can find out."
Li Fei was startled.
If you really want him to investigate, maybe the matter will be serious.
"Ling Wei, I didn't say anything because I was afraid that you would be anxious." Li Fei thought about it and had an idea in her mind.
"Why am I anxious?" Mo Lingwei's tone was cold.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.
"Unless this matter has something to do with Shen Ningning." He didn't even notice that when he said this, his tone was no longer indifferent and casual, but with a kind of arrogance about to get angry.
Li Fei swallowed in fear: "Yes... it has half of the relationship..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Lingwei suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her neck.
"Ah——!" Li Fei screamed, holding his arms weakly with both hands.
Mo Lingwei's eyes were as dark as abyss: "Tell me clearly, what's going on?"
Li Fei's face turned red after being pinched, and she wanted to say something but couldn't.
At this moment, the emperor, who had hurried back from the imperial study to talk to his son after discussing political affairs, saw this scene as soon as he entered the door.
The emperor shouted angrily: "Ling Wei! What are you doing, let go!"
Mo Lingwei looked at him with unabated anger.
"What did you do to Shen Ningning while I was away?"
The emperor said hurriedly: "I have also sent people to investigate. Please let go first so that I can tell you everything clearly!"
Mo Lingwei glanced at In his hands, Li Fei was pinched until she rolled her eyes.
Finally, he dropped his hand and threw Li Fei aside.
The emperor wanted to help him, but he thought his son was still there, so he urged the palace servants: "Help Concubine Li get up."
Mo Lingwei said without any nonsense: "Tell me, what happened?"
The emperor told the Wu family's death , the matter of Shen Ningning leading a pack of wolves to open a tent and deliver meals to the refugees outside the city was told exactly.
Mo Lingwei frowned upon hearing this.
Someone actually wanted to assassinate Shen Ningning while he was away?
The emperor said: "I have sent people out to check. Concubine Li, what are you doing here?"
Concubine Li covered her neck and coughed, and her throat was filled with the smell of blood.
She raised her eyes and said hoarsely: "My third brother, I should know what's going on. A few days ago, someone borrowed a sum of gold from him..."
"Borrow? Are you sure?" Mo Lingwei He asked coldly.
Concubine Li nodded repeatedly: "Concubine's third brother is missing. As long as he is found, all the truth will be revealed!"
Fortunately, she had already thought of another countermeasure. Before coming to Qianyuan Hall, she sent her nanny to Wei Shangshu. Replied.
