173 Chapter 173 I Killed the Wrong Person

"Don't tell me that it was bought by the jewelry store in Yifang County. I have asked people to find out. Although the second brother bought it for her later at the jewelry store in Yifang County, she wore it since she was a child. It was later accidentally picked it up by Su Huaner of Changchun Courtyard. Then she sold it for money when she went to Yifang County. The place she picked it up was where you met her. According to my understanding, Ruoying herself admitted that it was her lost.ww.vm) But there was only one pair of white crystal earrings in the world. If she hadn't been snatching Princess Wan's belongings with her murderer's mother, how could she have worn it since she was a child?"

Mo Yifeng's face turned pale: "Father, this is just your guess."

"Guess? I have asked someone to investigate for a full ten days, and the evidence is conclusive. As for who escorted her out of the palace gate, I will definitely ask someone to investigate carefully. As long as I find out who betrayed me, I will kill him all over the family." Emperor Xuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, which shocked Mo Yifeng.

Mo Yifeng did not expect that a pair of jewelry would involve Princess Wan's death. Although Emperor Xuan's statement was just a guess, it was a fact that the pair of earrings belonged to Ruoying. Even Ruoying himself said so. Emperor Xuan sent someone to investigate thoroughly, and he had no way to argue, not to mention that Ruoying did appear in the palace that night.

"Father, maybe it was Ying'er's mother who picked it up and gave it to Ying'er." He didn't want to say that it was Ruoying's mother who snatched the gains, because this would be very unfavorable to Ruoying's situation.

Emperor Xuan was furious and said, "I gave Wan'er to her, and Wan'er treated her as a treasure and never allowed others to move!"

When Princess Wan was mentioned, Emperor Xuan's eyes gradually turned bloody.

Mo Yifeng only felt a sudden chill in his body, his fingertips were deeply embedded in his palm, and his knuckles were white and sighed.

The Imperial study fell into a dead silence.

"Father." Mo Yifeng pursed his lips tightly and knelt on the ground, "I beg my father to let Ying'er go."

A hint of surprise flashed across Emperor Xuan's expression. He saw him kneeling on his knees and lowering his eyebrows and hands down. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly, Emperor Xuan had never seen Mo Yifeng do such a behavior for someone.

"Get up." Emperor Xuan bowed and helped him up from the ground, staring at his face, "You actually knelt down and begged me for a woman."

"She is the wife of a son."

"She is just your concubine, don't forget that you made her your concubine in the beginning."

Mo Yifeng's eyes ache: "My son wants to ask his father to issue an order..."

"I will issue an order to marry you and Liu Yuli, the daughter of Shangshu Liu, later tomorrow. You should have a concubine." Emperor Xuan knew what he wanted to say, so he did not give him a chance to continue, "Don't let me change my mind."

Mo Yifeng's face changed and he never dared to say anything again. He knew that if Emperor Xuan changed his mind, Ruoying would undoubtedly die.

Seeing Mo Yifeng remained silent, Emperor Xuan sighed: "Third brother, your elder brother is unwilling to do political understand. Your second brother has that kind of character. You are the most outstanding among the many princes. Don't let me down."

Mo Yifeng tightly clamped his fist heart, frowned and said nothing.

"Do you know why I treat Liu Wei so well?" Emperor Xuan asked, standing in front of him.

Mo Yifeng looked up at him, his thin lips pursed into a line. He didn't speak, just waiting for the words behind him.

Emperor Xuan frowned and frowned, saying to Mo Yifeng for the first time: "If it weren't for Liu Wei, I wouldn't have been on the throne, so you must treat his daughter kindly. Although Liu Yuli is sometimes a little willful, I believe she will be a good virtuous supporter. After all, she is the daughter of the Minister of War and a lady from a noble family. I believe she will not disappoint you."

Mo Yifeng knew that Emperor Xuan specifically mentioned the true intention of the Minister of War. If he wanted to hold the throne firmly, he would have to rely on Liu Wei's help, unless he could overwhelm Liu Wei to help him take office. However, it would be difficult for less than a year or two, let alone Liu Wei's official position for many years, how could he be easily replaced by others? His disciples were spread throughout the court and the country. At this moment, he had no choice, let alone Ruoying's life.

However, it was beyond his expectations that Emperor Xuan would change his mind and choose him as the crown prince in such a short time. He thought he would have a while later.

After leaving the imperial study room, Mo Yifeng felt a little heavy. He would accept the order tomorrow to marry Liu Yuli. I don’t know what Ruoying would do, and how should he explain?

As usual, he could never tell Ruoying about the arson of Yaohua Palace back then. He did not want to recall the memory of her losing her biological mother. He had endured the pain of watching his relatives die in front of him, so he was unwilling to let her bear it anymore.

I once remembered that he hid in the corner of his mother's palace and watched his mother raise her head and drink poisoned wine. He was filled with despair when he died. He still remembered the pain.

When Ruoying was taken back to the house, the doctor said that she was too frightened and lost her memory. Although she later found the memory, she seemed to have forgotten all the night she was in childhood. Perhaps it was the pain that made her dust all her memories.

Looking at Mo Yifeng's back as he left, Feng De walked into the imperial study room and looked at Emperor Xuan and didn't say anything.

"Emperor." He called out the lost Xuan Emperor lightly, and was finally a little worried.

Emperor Xuan waved his hand: "I'm fine." Turning around and walking outside the imperial study room, he looked at Mo Yifeng's far away back and asked, "Do you believe that Su Huaner's words?"

Feng De looked at Emperor Xuan's face and replied in a low voice: "Return to the emperor, I believe me, because she has no need to deceive, and she will not drag herself into the water."

Emperor Xuan nodded when he heard this.

When he found Su Huan'er, he wanted to ask what happened, but Su Huan'er was unwilling to say it. After learning that he was an emperor, he explained in detail the origin of the white crystal earrings without any concealment. Just as they were about to leave, Su Huan'er suddenly told him the truth about whether Concubine Rong was a brothel woman. He would rather risk the crime of deceiving the emperor than clearing the charge of an irrelevant Concubine Rong.

He knew that Su Huan'er had no need to deceive him, because she could not say anything, but after hearing what she said, he turned around and left Changchunyuan, looked up at the sky, and his heart suddenly became empty.

When Concubine Rong was accused of being born in a brothel, he was really annoyed when he learned the news. What he hated the most was deception, so he really wanted to throw her into the cold palace at that time, but he didn't do that at that time, he just confined her to the bedroom.

Although he did not blame her for this at that time, now that he knows that she was framed, he will inevitably feel sad. He may even suspect that someone deliberately framed Concubine Rong until his death.

So later he sent someone to investigate the arson case eleven years ago, and found all kinds of evidence of Rong Fei's absence and no contact with outsiders. Although he did not find the real mastermind behind it, it could at least prove that Rong Fei was innocent.

The reason why he found out the truth is mainly because Xi Jinping and his daughter were suddenly burned to death. He killed the evil man with a sword on the spot. When he interrogated Concubine Rong, she just smiled bitterly without defending herself. Even before drinking the poisonous wine, she did not say that she wanted to see him, but just ordered someone to tell him to treat Mo Yifeng well.

Although he was an emperor and a mortal, he hated her so much at that time. Since she was determined to die, he would go with her. Although she couldn't bear it, she finally killed Xipin and didn't even let his daughter go. So what qualifications does she have to let him treat her son well?

Mo Yifeng looks too much like Concubine Rong, so whenever he sees Mo Yifeng, he thinks that Concubine Rong will ask him to treat Mo Yifeng well after killing Princess Wan. Because of this, he has been neglecting Mo Yifeng. No matter how outstanding he is, he does not pay any attention to him. He wants to let the dead Concubine Rong see the fate of her determined killing Xi Jinping and his daughter.

But now, he found that everything was a conspiracy, and Concubine Rong was just a scapegoat. At this moment, his heart was mixed. If it weren't for the pair of white crystal earrings, if it weren't for Su Huan'er's words, he wouldn't have thought of someone to re-examine the arson case eleven years ago, nor would he know that Concubine Rong had suffered injustice.

But he is the emperor again, how could he tell everyone that he killed the wrong person at that time? So now he can only make up for everything. Moreover, Mo Yifeng is indeed an emperor's talent. No matter from any perspective, he is better than anyone else.

But he now has weaknesses. If a person has weaknesses, it is a stumbling block on the road to success. What's more, this weakness is the daughter of the murderer who killed Xi's mother and daughter. How could he let her exist in this world?

But he couldn't abandon her immediately now because of Mo Yifeng. But if he wanted her to leave or die, he had a way.

As soon as Mo Yifeng returned to the mansion, Ruoying was already waiting at the door. Seeing him coming back, he couldn't wait for him to get off the horse and immediately met him.

"Is it okay? Did your father make things difficult for you?" No wonder Ruoying was worried. After all, Mo Yixiao has been confined to the Yong Prince's Mansion, and she was afraid that Emperor Xuan would take his anger on him.

After getting off the horse, Mo Yifeng looked at her worried expression, and his heart suddenly shrank, and he reached out to take her into his arms, but he didn't know how to tell her what was going to happen next.
