Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent

"Isn't this the token from Mu Shangshu's mansion?"

Some people couldn't help but marvel.

In an instant, Concubine Mu and her father Mu Zhongwei's faces turned pale.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is such a huge injustice. I don't even know why the token in my palace is on the thief's body."

Mu Zhongwei quickly ran over, knelt down, kowtowed and explained.

"Mu Shangshu, are you sure you really have nothing to do with those assassins?"

Feng Yili lowered his eyes and stared at Mu Zhongwei, his voice was cold, and his body was full of pressure that made people breathless.

Mu Zhongwei kept breaking into a cold sweat.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and spoke with difficulty: "Well, that's natural. Why would I want to murder Prince Youshan?"

"That's right, our Mu family has no enmity against Youshan Palace and will not harm anyone. I don't know where the regent found our Mu family's token, so he came to frame us."

Concubine Mu said in a sharp voice at this time.

Her eyes were a little evasive.

They all knew that this matter... really had 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 also wanted to be a wise king in the eyes of the people, so he had no way to deal with Li Chengan openly.

Therefore, they took advantage of the disaster in Yuzhou to incite public resentment and make it difficult for the Youshan Palace.

Finally, Li Chengan was lured to the disaster area to attack him.

The emperor could not 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 never admit this!

"Really? But as far as I know, the Mu Mansion has no more than five tokens in total, and they are all used to issue orders at important times." Feng Yili sneered.

Soon, he took out a medicine and said coldly: "Although this assassin has been poisoned and mute, this medicine can make him speak again."

So magical?

Many people looked at him with inquiring eyes.

In front of them, Feng Yili threw the pill into the assassin's mouth.

The assassin coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

"Tell me, who ordered you to assassinate our prince?" 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 them?" Suddenly, Feng Yili used his inner power to transmit the message.

What?

The assassin opened his eyes suddenly and stared at Feng Yili with fearful eyes.

"In the courtyard with the osmanthus trees in the east of the city, your two sons are quite sensible." Feng Yili continued to transmit his voice through his internal force.

The assassin's body was shaking violently.

"I said, I said, I am a member of the Royal Forest Army, and I only obey the orders of my master." He spoke quickly.

Just follow his master's orders?

Isn't that... the emperor's doing?

Many strange looks were secretly glanced at Chu Zai.

This matter is too messy.

what is going on?

Chu Zai's eyes darkened again, and he felt like a storm was coming.

He gave the secret guard hiding in the dark a look, hoping that the other party would kill the guard at will.

But it was also at this time that 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?

There was confusion in the man's eyes.

Suddenly, he saw Feng Yili lifting the Mu family's token seemingly casually.

He gritted his teeth and quickly changed his words: "No, although I am a member of the Imperial Guards, there are many Imperial Guards in the imperial city, and we people are not qualified to see the Emperor. Yes, Lord Mu came to us personally and said that the Emperor wants you to 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 were.

"Absurd, how is it possible? I have never seen you, how can I give you an order!"

Mu Zhongwei said with a ferocious expression.

"What is 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, wasn't this gold given to the Seventh Prince by the Emperor?"

Someone shouted in shock.

Last year, it was Chu Yuemu's birthday, and Concubine Mu got a favor at that time, so Chu Zai asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to make a box of gold with the same zodiac sign as Chu Yuemu.

At that time, many people were very emotional, saying that the emperor doted on his mother, Concubine Mu, and the seventh prince.

"How come you have this kind of gold on your body?" Feng Yili asked quietly.

This is not on him!

The man's face turned pale.

But he quickly realized that this was what Feng Yili put on him.

He quickly said bravely: "This is what Master Mu rewarded me."

"Impossible, you dare to slander me, I will kill you!"

Mu Zhongwei was angry and anxious, so he wanted to rush over and pinch the other person's neck.

"I'm still here, Mu Zhongwei, do you still want to kill people and silence them?"

Chu Rui stepped forward and kicked Mu Zhongwei hard on the heart.

"No, Your Majesty. I don't know why this traitor has such gold on his body. He must want to frame me."

Mu Zhongwei kowtowed in panic and denied.

"Yes, Grandfather, this assassin must have stolen my gold."

Chu Yuemu also knew that the situation was serious, so he rushed over to explain.

But at this time, Chu Rui's secret guards came over from the main hall next to them.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates found these things from those corpses."

Soon, a "Mu" family token and several pieces of gold were spread out in the palm of his hand.

Quiet, quiet...

The atmosphere was extremely quiet...

There is even a weird atmosphere permeating the air.

"Mu Zhongwei, what else do you have to argue with? You want to assassinate the Emperor, and you also want to assassinate Feng Yili. I'm afraid Cheng'an's death back then had something to do with you."

Chu Rui kicked Mu Zhongwei hard again.

Mu Zhongwei's eyes went dark in pain, but he still held on.

He cried and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please have mercy on me. Your Majesty, please have mercy on me. I really didn't do anything. This is definitely an injustice."

"Unjustly accused. We have both witnesses and material evidence. How 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 very embarrassed Chu Yuemu next to him.

He asked coldly: "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 did not report it, or were you also involved?"

After saying these words, Concubine Mu and Mu Zhongwei's heads were buzzing.

"No, Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince didn't know anything. It was all done by the old minister. The old minister was confused and falsely conveyed the emperor's will and asked the imperial guards to murder the regent. The old minister returned his ambition and killed Prince Youshan with the intention of seizing the military power. Assassination of the emperor, It’s also to hide the truth.”

Mu Zhongwei quickly kowtowed and took everything into his body.

Concubine Mu's face was filled with fear, and she did not dare to plead for mercy any more.

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 doomed.

"Emperor, what do you think of this matter? Do you think the murderer is the Mu family, or is there someone else?"

Chu Rui turned around and stared at Chu Zai, holding back his anger and asked.
