Before King Yue could leave the palace, he was summoned to the front hall by the Emperor. Currently, kneeling inside the hall were Shuntian Prefecture Lord Shen Bingshu, the Office Minister Su Wenyuan, the Eldest Prince Wang, and the Third Prince Jin.
After the Titan King entered the hall, he bowed respectfully. "This son greets royal father."
At this time, King Yu and Prince Jin were kneeling, but the Emperor did not call him to his feet, "Fourth elder, Shen Bingshu came over today to report the Su Family's murder case. He also involved you, so he called you here to confront him. "Shen Bingshu, you can begin." Yes, reporting to the emperor, this was the case. When I heard the bailiff report that a woman had fainted at the entrance of Shuntian, I personally checked, and then asked the doctor to rescue her. From her, I found out that her name is Su You, and that she is the direct daughter of the Chief Secretary's Counsellor, Su Zhi Yuan. She recounted that today was the day when she and Mu Yunyao would hold a celebration together. While the two of them were waiting in the east wing room, a woman dressed similarly to her suddenly jumped into the back window of the east wing. This humble subject was extremely shocked upon hearing this and was afraid that she would kill her.
"Something even more serious happened. He quickly brought Su You back to the Su residence." Arriving at the Su Family's residence, he discovered that all the guests had surrounded the pond in the front yard, saying that Su You had been killed, and that the killer had been ordered by Mu Yunyao. The reason why Shen Ge admitted that he had a secret relationship with Mu Yunyao and wanted to assassinate Su You was because she had met with the two of them in private and was afraid that the news would leak out, so he could only silence her. However, after getting to the details, the words that Shenji and the servants said were contradictory, unable to form a valid confession. This humble subject had also asked Su You personally, but she had never seen Mu Yunyao and Shenju get into any contact.
"My family's servants have finally obtained the truth. The confession documents are here, please take a look, your majesty." The emperor's face was calm as he took over the case file that Shen Bingshu had presented from Xu Li. After carefully looking through it, he looked at the pale Su Wenyuan below, "Su Wenyuan, Shen Bingshu questioned you and found out that the person who secretly ordered his subordinate to slander Mu Yunyao and kill her was your wife, Meng family. What do you have to say?
"Speak?" "Reporting to the Emperor, the Meng family has a small stomach, they had already secretly hated Mu Yunyao for some contradictions, and this subject had privately advised them, but she was stubborn, so she did not listen to his advice. This subject thought that she would at least have some sense of propriety, I did not expect that she would actually do such a bold and audacious thing, I am truly ashamed!"
To defend her, all is to be dealt with by the Emperor. "
"So you're saying that everything that happened on the day of the feast was caused by your wife, the Meng, and the person who framed Mu Yunyao?"
"... Yes, "Su Wenyuan gritted his teeth," This humble subject only found out about the truth from Madam Meng after asking her. This humble subject did not manage to stop her in advance. "Alright, let's put this case aside for now and ask around. There's one more thing, why do you have private soldiers in your residence, and why those private soldiers use military longbows. As a government official, you should know the meaning of this …" The emperor do not finish his sentence, but he does not finish it
However, the coldness in his words caused Su Wenyuan to shudder.
Su Wen Yuan took two steps forward and kowtowed as he pleaded, "Your majesty, please be clear-headed. This humble subject has always been loyal to the emperor. Even if I had the guts, I would not dare to do something so outrageous."
Prince Jin opened his mouth, "Imperial Father, Lord Su has always been diligent in his duty during his tenure as Minister of the Department.
"I haven't even asked you about it, but you've already spoken. According to what I know, the ten archers in Su Wen Yuan's mansion were transferred over from your house?" During this period of time, many things have happened in the Su Family. Lord Su found me, and said that you wanted me to borrow some guards to maintain the Su Family's order, so that no matter what happened, it would affect the wives and young ladies who went to attend the feast.
This son saw that Lord Su's intentions were hard to come by, so he borrowed ten guards. " Su Wenyuan raised his head, "Your majesty, the madame in this humble subject's house was severely ill. Su Qing's sister and Yunyao were the madame's knot in her heart, and after searching for so many years, she finally found the child. If she woke up and found out that Su Qing's sister and Yunyao had left, how sad would she be? This humble subject only wishes to …
However, this humble subject has never thought of letting the archers take action, I only wanted them to stand to the side and intimidate His Highness, on the contrary, he actually ordered his subordinates to directly kill those people.
Prince Jin turned to look at King Yue, "Fourth brother, your words and actions are too impulsive. Even if you like Mu Yunyao, you should still act with caution."
King Yue looked at King Jin coldly, "Then, according to the intentions of the Three Sovereigns and Lord Su, should I wait for the archers to kill Madam Su and Miss Mu before making a move?"
"Your Highness Duke of Yue, I did not give the order for the archers to attack. It was you who misunderstood …"
"Then why did I hear Lord Su say that as long as Mistress Su and Miss Mu dared to step out of the Su Clan's residence, they would be killed?"
"Your Highness, I have never said this. Where did you hear it from?" Su Wenyuan looked like he was wronged, and his tone was filled with anger.
Yue Yang frowned, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a report from the door: "Your Majesty, Grand Princess Yi De is here."
"Your royal sister is here, why don't you invite her in?"
Grand Princess Yi De slowly walked into the hall. When she saw Su Wen Yuan kneeling on the ground, an extremely deep killing intent flashed in her eyes. "We greet the Emperor."
"Sister Huang, why are you being so courteous? Come sit on top."
Xu Qing ordered someone to arrange a chair beside the Dragon Throne, and respectfully invited Grand Princess Yi De to sit on it. I should not have come here in the first place, but since this matter concerns Mu Yunyao, it is inevitable that I have to be more concerned about her. After thinking about it, I decided to prefer her.
In my daughter's name. "
The Emperor was surprised. "Sister Huang, you've decided so quickly?" In addition, she also saved my life before. This is the fate between her and me, today I came to tell my royal brother that I want to discuss this with you, that I want to let the imperial overseer choose a day, a great opportunity, and a great profit.
Her name is recorded in the family tree. " At this time, Grand Princess Yi wanted to recognize Mu Yunyao as her granddaughter and even wanted to record her name onto the family tree. This honor was a great honor for Mu Yunyao, but to the Su Family, it was a great honor for them!
