The emperor did not hesitate and nodded in acquiescence. He Lianzhao led people directly out of the palace, and the guards around him came quietly.
"Your Highness, we really need to check. If it is true...this..."
He Lianzhao sneered and said, "It doesn't matter if it's true or false. If it's false, wouldn't we just make it real?"
The guard immediately understood the hidden meaning, raised his hands and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, no one from the Criminal Department will leave alive today!"
With that said, a group of secret guards went ahead. As for the prince, He Lian Zhao, he sat in a carriage and walked slowly, heading towards the Ministry of Punishment in a leisurely manner.
Helian Mochuan was a little anxious now. He knew the prince's methods very well. Even if Su Cheng was not dead, he would probably encounter something unexpected. It didn't matter that he was implicated. Thinking of Ning Wan's presence, Helian Mochuan's mood became even more intense.
became anxious.
Leng Li is not around, Helian Mochuan seems to be calm and composed, but he is playing with a jade pendant in his hand. The emperor is sitting on the throne. His mood towards this younger brother is actually a bit complicated.
"Mo Chuan, I heard that you and the lady from Prime Minister Fu's family are childhood sweethearts. How about I grant you a marriage and let Miss Fu be your princess? Your legs have been disabled for many years. This Miss Fu has superb medical skills and got the medicine.
The true biography of the king..."
Before the emperor finished speaking, he was interrupted by Helian Mochuan: "Since the emperor knows that I am already a broken body, why should I let someone else's delicate young lady jump into this pit of fire?"
Hearing him belittle himself in such a way, the emperor felt a little unbearable and said: "You are the regent of the imperial court and my biological brother. I want to see who dares to dislike you! But I heard that Miss Fu has admired you for many years.
If we can get married, we can have a good story!"
It is said that it is a good story, but it is actually for the emperor himself. Prime Minister Fu's affairs are very involved. It is impossible for the emperor to really dismiss him from his official position. What's more, most of the silver coins obtained by Prime Minister Fu have gone into the emperor's private treasury.
, Helian Mochuan knew this.
So he planned to use the position of the regent princess in exchange for Helian Mochuan to shake hands with Prime Minister Fu and make peace. At the same time, he also drew Helian Mochuan to his side. In addition, Fu Qingpei could also monitor Helian Mochuan nearby.
Every move he makes can be said to accomplish multiple things.
"Whether it's a good story or a grudge, I can't guarantee it, my brother! What's more, I already have a sweetheart and will propose marriage soon. Brother, I'd better not be impatient!"
This was the first time in so many years that a woman who could be liked by Helian Mochuan and propose marriage appeared, which surprised the emperor but also made him a little alarmed.
"Could the woman the regent was talking about be the eldest lady of the Duke's palace, Ning Wan?" Seeing Helian Mochuan nodding, the emperor looked troubled.
"I'm afraid the regent is too late. Tomorrow I will issue an edict to marry Xiaojiu and Ning Wan. This is what Xiaojiu begged me for many days before I agreed!"
Helian Mochuan's face changed slightly. He Lianfeng was quietly preparing to steal his woman. Is this okay?
"Brother Emperor, this is unacceptable!" It was rare that the regent, who had always been calm and composed, was so flustered, which surprised the emperor.
He didn't expect that his younger brother would actually be attracted to women.
"I heard that Miss Ning has been treating the Prince Regent. Your legs should be healed, right?" the emperor asked with a smile, but secretly there was a murderous intention.
Helian Mochuan stretched out his hand and beat his knees, and said with a wry smile: "Probably because he has been ill for too long, and there is still no improvement, which disappoints the emperor brother!"
After saying this, the emperor felt relieved.
Helian Mochuan's every move was under the surveillance of the emperor. He was always indoors when he was being treated. The secret guards outside could not see what was going on inside, so he asked this question. But even so, He
Even Mo Chuan knew that the emperor would not believe everything.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not well. A fire suddenly broke out in the Criminal Department. Thick smoke was billowing outside. The Royal Guards are rushing to the Criminal Department to put out the fire!"
The emperor's eyes darkened, and his first reaction was to tell the secret guard: "Hurry up and protect the prince, don't let the prince get hurt at all!"
As for the life and death of others, he really wasn't worried, but Helian Mochuan couldn't sit still, and Ning Wan didn't know what was going on at the moment. It's just that he was trapped in the palace and couldn't get over at all.
He Lianzhao, who thought he would be in danger, was now sitting in the carriage, looking at the smoke billowing from the Criminal Department, but he did not show any panic at all, and instead gave orders to the people below.
"If the emperor's personal guards come, put out the fire immediately. If not, just wait!" He Lianzhao's purpose was to watch the fire from the other side.
At this time, the Criminal Department was all shrouded in smoke. People outside thought the place was flooded, but in fact it was not the case.
"Miss, the rooms in front have also been fumigated, and a lot of bugs have been found. Look!"
Ning Wan frowned slightly when he saw these bugs. These were corpse bugs buried deep in the ground. These things would only be buried with rotting corpses. It was strange that they would appear around the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.
"Send someone into the palace and inform the regent that there is something strange here!"
