Helian Mochuan's expression did not change, but the emperor seemed a little angry.
"My brother guesses that the emperor's move must be because not long ago, Ning Guogong went around and wanted his daughter to marry Lao Ba. Starting from now, you are not satisfied with Ning Guogong. He is stupid, incompetent and greedy. You know, like this
If someone gets on top of Lao Ba, it will only bring him trouble! So, the medicine in Aunt Lin’s hands was given by the emperor’s brother, right?”
The emperor glared at Helian Mochuan fiercely, with murderous intent in his eyes, but Helian Mochuan remained calm. After the two looked at each other, it was the emperor who was defeated.
"You kid, you see through things without telling them, don't you understand?"
After years of getting along with each other, how could the emperor not know Helian Mochuan's temperament, just like Helian Mochuan was familiar with the emperor's tricks.
"If the emperor's move is seen through, the court will be in trouble, and the ministers will be in panic all day long. Moreover, this move will also affect the relationship between the emperor and Wan'er. Are you ready to kill two birds with one stone?"
It must be said that they really understood each other as a pair of brothers. Helian Mochuan was speechless and was about to leave in his wheelchair. The emperor quickly caught up with him and pulled his wheelchair.
"Mo Chuan, I have no intention of driving a wedge between you and Miss Ning. It's just that Ning Qingyuan is too arrogant. I'm just punishing you with a big warning..."
Helian Mochuan glared at the emperor. The atmosphere between the two was very tense. Internal officials outside hurried in.
"Your Majesty, Duke Ning Guo is dead!"
Ning Qingyuan died? The emperor was shocked and called Zhao Jinquan, who was also very worried.
"Zhao Jinquan, what's going on with you? I asked you to handle the case properly, but why did someone get killed? How do you want me to explain it to the court officials?"
Zhao Jinquan also looked depressed. How could he have imagined that Ning Guogong would actually seek death on his own!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am unjustly accused of this! After learning that Ning Guogong was poisoned, I went to the Duke's Mansion to investigate the case. As soon as I found some clues, Ning Guogong actually jumped into the well. The servants and servants were all
I never noticed that by the time I found the Duke, he was already cold..."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, this matter was getting more and more difficult, but in his heart he was secretly relieved.
But what Helian Mochuan was worried about now was Ning Wan. He hurried back to Mo Garden, but was told by the housekeeper that Ning Wan had returned to the Duke's Mansion.
He rushed to the Duke's Mansion again, and now there was a desolate scene in the mansion. Many servants had been kicked out of the house because of stealing property before. Now that this happened again, the door of the Duke's Mansion was even deserted.
"Your Majesty, Miss Ning needs to take charge of the overall situation in the Duke's palace. Miss Ning said that since the prince has difficulty in moving, she should not come. She can handle it! But my subordinates can see that Miss Ning's mood is not quite right!"
Helian Mochuan didn't say anything, and drove the wheelchair towards the inside. Every time he passed a door, he had to be carried in by guards. Leng Li also followed Helian Mochuan with a worried look on his face, and even she noticed it.
, Ning Wan’s expression is not quite right.
In the mourning hall, only Ning Wan and Zi Su were present. Basically, all the concubines in the Duke's mansion were gone. Of course, there was still Aunt Yang, who was also half-dead!
"Wan'er, I'm here!"
Helian Mochuan drove the wheelchair over and quickly held Ning Wan's little hand. Feeling the coolness on her fingertips, Helian Mochuan held it tighter.
However, Ning Wan pulled out her hand without even looking at Helian Mochuan. This made Helian Mochuan's heart tremble and asked: "Wan'er, what's wrong with you?"
Ning Wan knelt on the ground expressionlessly and said coldly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm fine. I'll go back to Mo Garden after handling the funeral of the Duke!"
"Wan'er, I can stay here..."
"No need, you and I are not married, so this is not etiquette! What's more, the regent has many things to do, and he should not let his daughter delay important matters anymore. Just do what you should do, and my daughter can handle it by herself!"
Ning Wan's refusal made Helian Mochuan worried and angry at the same time. He turned to look at Leng Li behind him and said, "Take everyone out!"
Leng Li nodded and quickly pulled Zi Su and others out. Helian Mochuan suppressed his anger and looked at Ning Wan and asked: "I know that you have something to ask me, so I have been waiting for you to speak these days.
, Wan'er, I will not hide anything from you!"
Ning Wan looked up at him, her eyes a little cold, and said, "Your Majesty, do you know what I want to ask?"
Helian Mochuan stared at Ning Wan. He was really angry. How could Ning Wan be the same?
"Yunniang, is the prince's person, right? I heard that this Yunniang is the prince's childhood sweetheart. She went to serve the queen for the prince and delivered the news, but the queen discovered it, so she kicked her out of the palace. After that, she lived in the Regent's Palace for a while.
Then he was kicked out of the palace!"
Listening to Ning Wan's narration, Helian Mochuan tightly grasped the armrests of the wheelchair and looked at Ning Wan with anger in his eyes.
"What on earth do you want to say?"
"Epidemic! The reason why the epidemic broke out in the Yan Kingdom was because of the instruction of the prince, right?"
