Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 370: When the turmoil suddenly arises, the brothers fight each other

The second prince Yu Wang hurriedly handed the hair crown in his hand to Xu Li: "Father, this broken hair crown belongs to Meng Handong. Please compare the traces of the arrow with the feather arrow that hit Meng Handong?"

After King Yu finished speaking, he looked to Mu Yunyao at one side, and nodded slightly to her.

Mu Yunyao was relieved, at that time King Yue shot a total of three feathered arrows, the first one just broke his hair crown and did not leave any scars on his body, but there was an extra arrow on the man's chest, It must be the one that shot off the hair crown.

The emperor asked people to do the comparison, and soon the result came out: "Reporting to the emperor, the marks on the hair crown are consistent with the feather arrow that hit Meng Handong's chest."

Meng Xi still couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty, these arrows are all similar. How can we judge the truth just from the traces?"

King Yu sneered: "Master Meng is a civil servant and has never been on the battlefield. It is understandable that he does not know much about bows and arrows. The arrows are made of pig iron. Although they are sharp, they are also very brittle. Therefore, the arrow head must have been damaged when it hit the hair crown made of red gold. After inspection, the arrowhead that shot through Meng Handong's chest was damaged, and there were still some marks on the arrowhead. Saying that my fourth brother killed Meng Handong, Mr. Meng is suspected of framing and biting the prince."

"I don't dare, it's just that my son was killed and I was flustered. If there is something wrong, please forgive me. Even though the feather arrow hit Han Dong's hair crown, can't it be used to kill him again?" Have you?" Meng Xi still didn't give up, his son couldn't just die like this.

Mu Yunyao said, "Master Meng, there are many feathered arrows in the quiver of His Royal Highness King Yue, could it be said that after this feather arrow hit the son's hair crown, His Highness King Yue didn't take it from the quiver again, but Run to the son to pick up the used one, and then retreat to the distance to kill the son with the feather arrow?"

King Yu sneered: "Someone must have tried to frame him with the feathered arrow bearing the mark of the fourth younger brother. It took so much trouble, but he didn't expect to leave a flaw in the arrow. Master Meng, you have been quarreling until now. He won't let go of King Yue, but who is instigating behind him?"

Meng Xi shook his head hastily: "Please tell the emperor, my minister's loyalty to the emperor is clear, and I will never dare to frame His Highness King Yue, but, did my son die in vain like this?"

"If you don't tell me, I forgot that before Meng Handong blatantly killed the Su family's horses in front of the palace gate, he acted extraordinarily arrogantly, because at that time he had to rush to the hunting ground, so the king didn't punish him. Later, he With a grudge in his heart, he bribed the servant who arranged the tent, deliberately placed Miss Mu's tent on the edge, and even joined with Meng Yanran to put poisonous snakes in Miss Mu Meng's tent. Who gave him such courage! Today he dared to go Miss Bie's camp has poisonous snakes, and she dared to openly shoot a cold arrow at King Yue, will he dare to put his hands and feet on the head of Emperor Father or Aunt Huang tomorrow?"

Meng Xi quickly shook his head, his face turned pale, let alone seeking justice for his son, it would be good not to implicate the Meng family: "Your Majesty, I don't know that that scoundrel Meng Handong is so bold and reckless. Proper, never like this..."

"Heh," King Yu said sarcastically, "Master Meng doesn't feel guilty when he said this. No one in the government and the public knows how many grandsons Grand Master Meng has. Are you still doing things properly? Are you not afraid of making people laugh out loud when you say this?"

"Jun Yu, don't be so rude." The emperor said.

Yu Wang was indignant: "Father, my son is too angry, the Meng family is really deceiving people too much, that Meng Yanran openly mocked the fourth brother as a down-and-out prince yesterday, and said extremely vicious words to Miss Mu, no matter how you say it , Niyunfang and Buxian Building have signboards written by the emperor himself, and Ms. Mu also donated one hundred thousand taels of silver to the people of Jingling City. Do some people do something that is beneficial to the people?"

Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes and said nothing, a faint smile flashed across her heart, she really didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Yu would be so capable, before the court always said that King Yu was straightforward and eclectic, this person clearly has a careful heart like Fat, speak impeccably.

King Yue arched his hands and saluted the emperor: "I ask Father to uphold justice for my ministers."

The emperor was silent for a moment, and then said: "Transfer this matter to the Ministry of Punishment, and let the Ministry of Punishment be responsible for the investigation. Meng Xi, do you have any comments?"

"My minister obeys the emperor's will." Afraid that if he continued, the entire Meng family would be involved, Meng Xi nodded quickly.

"Go down."

When everyone left, the emperor couldn't help but rubbed the center of his brows, his expression seemed extremely tired.

Xu Li on the side carefully looked at the emperor's face, and after a while he said softly, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Eldest Princess also said that you would come over to have lunch with me at noon, and the time is about the same now."

The emperor nodded: "Let's go."

Elder Princess Yide had already asked someone to serve a meal. When she saw the emperor walking in, she said with a smile on her face, "Just now I was thinking about asking someone to invite the emperor's younger brother. I heard that something has happened to the noise?"

The emperor sat at the table, and a maid served him with a water basin to clean his hands. The emperor simply wiped his hands, then waved his hand to make the palace people retreat, and then said: "Meng Handong, the younger generation of the Meng family, died. I want to rely on the fourth child."

"It seems that even if the fourth child is not favored very much, it has hindered some people's eyes." Princess Yide sighed, "Although this child is cold-tempered, he has a good heart and sees things clearly, so he just came back In a few days, someone secretly acted, it was too impatient."

"Sister Huang, tell me this time..." The emperor's brows were frowned into a sichuan character, and the emotions in his eyes were tangled. Once the news came to him, he didn't believe it at all. After all, even King Yue didn't have a brain, and he wouldn't use such The way to kill Meng Handong. It's just that I don't know who is behind the scenes...

Princess Yide added some dishes to the emperor with chopsticks, and said with emotion in her voice: "The children have grown up, each has their own thoughts, and each has its own calculations. Brother, you have to think about it, after all. You have experienced royal battles, even if you were brothers and friends before, you became vulnerable in front of the throne."

"Sister Huang, I have experienced those battles, so I wanted to make the children more harmonious. I gave them fair opportunities. I just hoped to let them understand in this way that I treat them equally and they don't need to fight each other. You only need to do your own thing well, and I will choose the most suitable person to inherit the throne."

Princess Yide shook her head: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing. It is inevitable that some people will not have a wrong mind. Fortunately, there is no big mistake this time. The emperor will help them calm down in time."
