Chapter 466: The King of Shu Provokes Public Anger

The Dali Temple took over the case, and Xie Mingan was personally responsible for the thorough investigation. The emperor was furious and announced that if he knew who was trying to murder Princess Funing, he would kill the nine clans of that person!

The court officials paid close attention to the case, and the result came out soon.

It turned out that it was a fifth-rank official in the court who arranged the assassination. He committed suicide at home out of fear of crime, leaving a suicide letter begging the emperor to spare his family.

However, the emperor saw at a glance that he must have taken the blame for others, but the assassins who were caught all testified that he was the one who ordered it.

In the case of no evidence, the emperor could only sentence his nine clans to be executed to shock the court and the public.

On this day, the King of Shu had just got on a carriage and was about to go out. The carriage stopped suddenly, and the King of Shu almost fell down.

He frowned and scolded the driver: "What's going on?"

The driver's voice with a hint of worry came from outside: "Your Highness, Lord Xie, the Minister of the Dali Temple, has stopped our carriage."

The King of Shu was startled, and the next second, Xie Ming'an's voice sounded from outside.

"Your Highness, I have a few words to say. I want to talk to you alone." He said respectfully, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly lifted the curtain.

The anger accumulated in those dark eyes made the King of Shu feel guilty for no reason.

He sat directly next to the King of Shu: "Your Highness, you should have heard about the assassination of my sister Ningning, right?"

The King of Shu relaxed his expression: "Of course I heard about it. Fortunately, Princess Funing was blessed by heaven and was not injured. Those damn assassins are really unforgivable. Fortunately, Lord Xie, you are young and promising, and finally found the mastermind behind the scenes."

Xie Ming'an pulled his thin lips and laughed mockingly.

He stared at the King of Shu with dark eyes: "A fifth-rank official who has never had any contact with my sister, the reason for assassinating her is because he can't stand her tyranny, do you think it's true?"

The King of Shu was silent for a long time and then nodded: "It seems a little wrong."

"Not a little, but completely wrong. Even people who are not familiar with my sister have heard that she donated silver and grain. Every day when disasters come, who in the entire Cangyun Kingdom has not received her grace and salvation? This official said this, it can be seen that he was pushed to the extreme and talked nonsense before dying."

Xie Mingan stared at him, and his cold eyes were like a knife, almost piercing the King of Shu.

The King of Shu could only smile.

"It can only mean that he is very stupid. Lord Xie, don't be angry with such a person. Hasn't the case been investigated clearly?"

"Although the case has been investigated clearly, I don't believe that the mastermind behind the scenes is really him." Xie Mingan smiled slightly.

He almost wrote his suspicion on his face.

The King of Shu's face changed: "Master Xie, what do you mean? Do you suspect that I hired someone to assassinate the princess?!"

Xie Ming'an raised his eyebrows, his eyes deep, with a cold insight into people's hearts.

"I dare not speculate. I came to see the prince this time to make it clear to the prince. I was not in the mood to say anything about your affairs."

"But the prince also knows that my sister has been living outside since she was a child. She has only been brought back to enjoy happiness in recent years. She has suffered so much. We have decided long ago that whoever makes her suffer and get hurt, the Xie family will never let that person go.

"So if the prince knows who really murdered my sister, you might as well warn me and don't force me, otherwise I will definitely be the first person in the Xie family to go crazy and take revenge. "

The dark cruelty in his eyes didn't seem fake.

The King of Shu was shocked, and before he could react, Xie Mingan sneered and said goodbye, then lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.

Looking through the curtain, he was riding a horse and traveling far away with his guards.

"You are really crazy, you dare to threaten me. "King Shu said, thinking of Xie Ming'an's eyes, he couldn't help but frowned.

He must keep his word.

This time he was careless. He didn't remind the assassin hired by Jingchun to be careful of Princess Funing's counterattack.

After all, this child is mature and smart beyond his age.

Now it's good, he really shot himself in the foot.

At this time, Mo Lingwei was also with the emperor, sitting with his arms folded with a gloomy face.

The young man said nothing, but his face was very bad, staring at the emperor for a long time.

The emperor felt that he was in a bad mood and wanted to let him calm down, otherwise he would be choked back by his son's anger.

But the emperor lowered his head to review the memorials for a long time, and he always felt that the cold and stern sight was always on his head, which distracted him and made him a little uneasy.

The emperor couldn't help it and put down his pen: "Just say what you want to say, don't just look at me without saying anything, what's the matter!"

Mo Lingwei said coldly: "I said, my father might be angry. "

"I am not someone who gets angry easily. Besides, we are father and son. What can't we say frankly? You can talk, I will listen, I will never get angry." The emperor smiled patiently.

The next second, Mo Lingwei said with a dark brow: "Can you abolish your uncle?"

The emperor was stunned, and then he slammed the table and stood up: "You kid, what are you talking about!"

Mo Lingwei had expected him to be angry, so he sneered.

"See, I said you would be unhappy."

"Nonsense! Your uncle is your father's brother, and he takes good care of you."

"I have carefully recalled these days. When I just lost my mother when I was a child, it was my aunt who took care of me, not him."

On the contrary, Mo Lingwei had never noticed it before. Recently, he thought about it carefully and realized that when he was taken to the Shuwang Mansion, the Shuwang Consort was with him.

She made up for his heartache of losing his mother, while the King of Shu always used the excuse of talking about things and was not in the mansion all day.

She would only come back at night, and bring some toys bought from outside, or tell him something interesting, which was considered as accompanying him.

Mo Lingwei always thought that the King of Shu and the Princess of Shu were one, but until he recalled their childhood together, he felt that the King of Shu did almost nothing.

After the Princess of Shu paid all her attention and care to Mo Lingwei, the King of Shu only needed to move his lips to make Mo Lingwei think that he was as considerate to him as the Princess of Shu.

At that time, she had just miscarried her second child, but she still took care of Mo Lingwei's sensitive emotions.

In Mo Lingwei's heart, for so many years, he was grateful for the Princess of Shu's efforts, not the King of Shu who occasionally showed his face.

The emperor was incredible.

"You used to praise your uncle and consider everything for them. Why are you angry with him suddenly?"

Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips and looked at the emperor.

"I suspect that he was responsible for the assassination of Xie Ming'an and the assassination of Shen Ningning."

The emperor was stunned for a moment and smiled, "How is that possible?"

Mo Lingwei's dark eyes were cold and gloomy: "I know that my father may find it hard to believe. After all, everyone has long thought that a person who has been disguised for many years is really like that."

"But I came here this time to discuss with my father. Give me a chance to test him, and I will let you see his true face."

At this point, Mo Lingwei's thin lips pulled out a cold smile.

The young man's eyebrows were full of willfulness.

"Maybe when the truth is discovered, my father will be more eager to kill my uncle than I am."

The emperor saw that he was so decisive and couldn't help but wonder if this kid really knew something?

He hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, tell me."

What Shen Ningning didn't know was that because she was assassinated once, her family went crazy, and Mo Lingwei wanted to drag the emperor to completely break up with the King of Shu for her. (End of this chapter)
