The Second Prince, King Yu, hurriedly handed the crown over to Xu Li. "Imperial Father, this broken crown belonged to Meng Handong. It was shot by an arrow, and because the crown was made of pure gold, there are traces of an arrow on it.
"
After King Yu finished speaking, he looked at Mu Yunyao and nodded slightly at her.
Mu Yunyao was relieved. At that time, Titan had shot out a total of three arrows, the first of which had only cut off his crown and did not leave any scars on his body. However, another arrow had appeared on the chest of this person, and he had definitely shot it with the same arrow that had cut off his crown.
The Emperor ordered his men to compare and soon the result was out: "Reporting to your majesty, the mark on the hairpin is the same as the arrow that shot into Meng Handong's chest."
Meng Xi was still in disbelief. "Your Imperial Majesty, these arrows are all about the same. How can you tell the truth just by looking at the marks?" King Yu taunted: "Master Meng is a civil servant, he has never been to the battlefield, so it is understandable for him to not know about bows and arrows. The arrows are made of pig iron, and although they are sharp, they are also very brittle.
The arrow that pierced Meng Handong's chest was damaged, and there were some marks left on the arrow. If that's the case, then my fourth brother killed Meng Handong.
"This humble subject does not dare, it is just that my son has been killed, causing me to panic. If there is anything wrong with your words, Your Highness, please forgive me. Even though the arrow has hit the crown of Hendon's head, can't it be used to kill him? " His son couldn't just die for nothing. Mu Yunyao opened her mouth and said, "Lord Meng, there are many arrows in His Highness's quiver. Could it be that after the arrow had pierced your son's hair, His Highness Duke of Yue did not take them back, but instead ran to his side and picked up the arrows that had been used, and then retreated to a distance to use the arrow to kill your son?
"
King Yu laughed coldly, "There must have been someone who wanted to use the arrow with Fourth Brother's mark to frame him. That was the reason why it took so much effort. Lord Meng, you have been trying to pull King Yue back, but who told you to do this? "
Meng Xi hurriedly shook his head. "Your Majesty, please enlighten me. This humble subject is extremely loyal to Your Majesty. I definitely won't dare to frame Your Highness. But, has my son died in vain just like that?" It was because he wanted to rush to the hunting grounds at that time, that Ben Wang did not punish him for his crimes. In the end, he bore a grudge and bribed the servants to arrange the tents, intentionally putting Miss Mu's tent at the edge, and even went with Meng Yanran to release poisonous snakes in Miss Mu's camp. Who gave him the guts to do so?! Today, he dared to place poisonous snakes in other young miss' tents, dared to openly fire cold arrows at the Titan. Tomorrow, would he dare to move his limbs to his royal father or imperial aunt?!
on my head? "
Right now, not to mention seeking justice for his son, it would be good if it didn't involve the Meng family. "Your majesty, this humble subject didn't know that the evil Meng Han Dong was actually so bold and presumptuous. He normally does things with propriety, he would never do something like this …"
"Jun Yu, don't be so rude." The Emperor spoke. King Yu was indignant. "Father, this son is too angry. The Meng family is really going too far. That Meng Yanran publicly ridiculed Fourth Brother yesterday as a fallen prince and was extremely malicious towards Miss Mu. In any case, the Nebula Market and the Wan Xiang Lou have a signboard written by royal father."
"Elder sister also donated a hundred thousand silver to the common folk of Ziling City. The Meng family opened their mouths to speak lowly and shut it. Why can't I see that noble people like them are doing something to the advantage of the common people?"
Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes and did not speak further. A faint smile appeared in her heart, she really did not expect that this Prince Yu was so capable. Previously, he had always said that Prince Yu was straightforward and did not stick to his rules.
King Yue cupped his hands and bowed to the Emperor: "Please uphold justice for this son and son."
The emperor was silent for a moment before he said, "This matter shall be referred to the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice shall be responsible for the investigation. Mencius, do you have any objections? "
"This humble subject obeys Your Majesty's decree." Afraid that the Meng Clan might be dragged into this, Meng Xi quickly nodded.
"Go down."
When the crowd left, the emperor couldn't help but rub the center of his brows. He looked extremely tired.
By the side, Xu Li carefully observed the emperor's expression. After a long while, he whispered, "Your majesty, the Grand Princess even said that she would like to invite you over for lunch. It's about time now."
The Emperor nodded. "Let's go."
Grand Princess Yi De had already arranged a meal for the servants. Seeing the Emperor walk in, she smiled and said, "I was just thinking of having someone invite my royal brother here. I heard that something happened to those noisy people?"
The emperor sat down at the table, and a maid brought him a basin of water to clean his hands. The emperor simply wiped the water off before waving his hand to allow the palace maids to leave, saying, "The younger generation member of the Meng Clan, Han Dong, is dead. Someone wants to blame it on Fourth Bro."
"It seems like even if Ol 'Four isn't too favoured, some people still wouldn't be able to see it." The Grand Princess Yi De let out a sigh. "Although this child's personality is a bit cold, his heart is very good. He sees through everything. It's only been a few days since he's come back, and yet there's already people secretly attacking him. He's too impatient."
"Royal sister, you said that this time …" When the matter spread, he did not believe it at all. After all, even if the Titan King did not have a brain, he would not use such a method to kill Meng Handong. However, he didn't know who had done it from behind … Grand Princess Yi De used her chopsticks to add some dishes to the emperor, and said with a tone full of emotion: "The children have all grown up, each of them has their own thoughts and plans, and each of them has their own plans. Royal brother, you also have to think things through, after all, you have already experienced the struggles of the royal family, so no matter how friendly you were previously, you still changed in front of the throne.
"Too weak to withstand a single blow." The opportunities I've given them are all fair. I just hope that I can use this method to let them understand that I treat them as equals. They do not need to fight with each other, they only need to do their own things well, and I will choose from among them.
And the most suitable person to inherit the position. " The Grand Princess Yi De shook her head. "The trees desire peace and quiet, and the wind cannot stop blowing. Naturally, no one would be moved. Fortunately, this time it didn't make a huge mistake, so my royal brother helped them temper themselves in time."
