Chapter 144 Princess Bai Yueguang (20)

No matter what everyone is thinking, facing the man with the highest status in the world, they have to set an example.

They knelt down one by one to offer gifts. Whether they were princes, nobles or envoys from other lands, every gift they gave was extremely precious and rare.

The emperor is the most powerful person in the world. If they dare to fool him with ordinary things, they will only be hurt.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a smile on his face. He accepted everyone's gifts calmly, without any fluctuation in his eyes.

After everyone had given their gifts, it was the princess's turn.

His thoughts at the moment were on his biological daughter Muning. He wanted to know how this daughter would appear this time, and hoped that she would not disappoint him.

But before Mu Ning, Mu Mingyu presented her gift first.

The outer packaging looks very simple, and when you open it, it's a robe.

"A few years ago, my father said that he wanted me to learn from female celebrities and make a robe for you. I always refused because I didn't want to be burdened. I wanted to give you a surprise on your birthday. I made this with my own hands.

The robe that came out.”

The emperor was really pleasantly surprised. He really loved this daughter. She could make such an exquisite robe for him. He didn't know how much effort it took. It was really rare.

"Okay, let's take a look!"

As soon as the emperor talked about the reward, everyone praised Mu Mingyu's beautiful and beautiful heart, and they were all very happy.

At the same time, everyone is looking forward to the gift from Princess Minggan.

Everyone knows that these two princesses have been keeping things secret.

Princess Minggan has attracted a lot of limelight this time, and all the officials present were not affected by her. In order to prevent her from being targeted, everyone kept their tail between their legs. How could they not hate her?

"Where is Princess Minggan?"

The emperor waited for a moment and found that his biological daughter, who should have arrived long ago, never showed up. Only then did he vaguely feel that something was wrong.

Eunuch Chen wiped the sweat from his face. He had already told the princess the time when the palace banquet would start. If she had taken it to heart, she would have arrived early. But now...she didn't come, and he had nothing to say. He could only use some words.

Use tricks to fool the emperor.

The emperor was not stupid, an angry look appeared on his face.

He asked the other maids: "Where has the princess gone?"

Everyone hesitated and couldn't explain.

The emperor was so angry that his face turned livid.

Seeing that the emperor was so angry, people in the audience also talked a lot.

It's okay for this princess to be deviant on weekdays. If her biological father doesn't come for her birthday, how can she be praised for her filial piety?

Just when a group of people were frowning and the atmosphere was getting darker and darker, a eunuch staggered in from outside with a very shocked and hurried look!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good!"

As soon as he said these words, everyone was stunned subconsciously. What's wrong? He said this on the emperor's birthday on a happy day. Are you tired of living?

The emperor's brows furrowed tightly: "Speak clearly."

The eunuch knelt down and collapsed to the ground, crying bitterly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Princess Minggan, she, she, she killed the entire Duke Wei Guo's family!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone took a breath!

They thought they were hallucinating. How dare Princess Mingqian kill Duke Wei!

He is the emperor's beloved uncle. According to seniority, she has to call her uncle!

The emperor stood up directly from the dragon chair, without even blinking, staring at the eunuch, and his tone was a bit scary: "What did you say?"

Before the eunuch opened his mouth, Mu Ning, covered in blood, walked in slowly. She smiled as soon as she came in.

"Greetings to my father, long live my father! Long live my father!"

Looking at Muning and observing the blood stains on her sleeves, a bad thought secretly grew in the emperor's heart.

He stared at Muning: "Just now this eunuch said that you killed Duke Wei and his family."

Muning's face was calm, and she said happily: "Yes, Erchen killed them. Except for the culprit in that family, all the other criminals admitted their crimes and are now in the prison. This is what Erchen gave to his father. A great gift.”

Before Muning finished speaking, the emperor's face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and the others were also kneeling.

What is going on?

They knew that this real princess was very courageous, but who would have thought that she would be so bold!

That was Duke Wei, the powerful Duke of Wei!

He was closer than the emperor's biological father, but Princess Mingqian actually killed him!

Muning continued talking to himself: "These days, Erchen is apparently resting in the palace, but in fact he has been investigating cases that have been unsolved for many years in Dali Temple. One of the cases caught Erchen's attention. More than three hundred A number of women disappeared mysteriously, and no clues could be found. It seemed that they disappeared for no reason. A few years later, several of the women were encountered in brothels. Erchen deduced that this case involved abduction and trafficking. Woman, the investigation continued and found the person of Duke Wei. Normally, the ministers thought that he was Duke Wei and his father’s most respected uncle. He would definitely not do such a thing. He must be being used by someone. So I asked my men to continue the investigation. Who would have thought that the more I investigate, the more frightened I will become!"

Muning paused for a moment before continuing: "Later, I discovered that this Duke of the country not only abducted and sold thousands of women in the more than ten years since the founding of the country, he also ran many mines under his control. The money never entered the treasury, but he raised private soldiers. The number of his private soldiers was as high as 200,000. They were distributed throughout the Jiangnan area and trained day and night. The son did not know what they wanted to train, but this This is a very dangerous signal. Erchen thought for a while and decided that he could only take action today. This is his most relaxed moment. Sure enough, Erchen found their account books and some lists, and asked my father to take a look."

She took out a ledger and some pieces of paper, and when Eunuch Chen handed them over, the emperor's face was so ugly that words could not describe it.

There was silence all around, and in the palace where singing and dancing had been taking place before, you could hear a needle drop.

The ministers really didn't expect that Muning would be so bold.

Duke Wei was not the little soldiers she killed before!

He was nurturing to the emperor in a certain sense. Why he could be made a duke of the country was naturally because the emperor wanted him to do it.

But when they heard the activities Muning mentioned, they were even more frightened!

Duke Wei had always had a good reputation among the people. Every winter and twelfth lunar month, he would order his people to deliver porridge and soup at the city gate. The people liked him very much and thought he was approachable.

Now I can only say that I know people and faces, but I don’t know the heart.
