Chapter 130 She Didn’t Tell Me a Thing
Emperor Zhaoqing lowered his eyes and looked at Yan Mobai in silence.
Then he raised his eyes and instructed the Prime Minister Zhu Jin in the crowd: "Prime Minister Zhu."
Zhu Jin hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I am here."
"I order you to reopen the Anyang murder case. You will be in charge, and the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate will assist you. If you have any questions or findings, report them directly to me."
Zhu Jin, Liu Yongning, and Yu Wen all accepted the order respectfully: "We obey your order!"
Everyone felt that Emperor Zhaoqing's move was wise.
The last time this case was tried, the Ministry of Justice presided over it, the Censorate assisted, and Yan Mobai was also involved.
Since King Kang has doubts about the trial results, it is natural to change someone to take charge, and Prime Minister Zhu Jin is the most suitable person.
First of all, as the prime minister of a country, one has a high status and position. Otherwise, it would be difficult for ordinary people to place themselves above the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate.
Secondly, Zhu Jin was the brother of Concubine De and the uncle of Princess Anyang. When trying the case of his niece, he would naturally do his best and would not favor any murderer.
Defei did not attend the palace banquet today due to poor health. She is usually the most favored by the emperor. The emperor must have made such arrangements to give her an explanation.
Emperor Zhaoqing also ordered Liu Yongning and Yu Wen: "Your Ministry of Justice and the Metropolitan Procuratorate should also find out the result of today's case as soon as possible."
They both bowed: "Yes!"
Emperor Zhaoqing looked at Yan Mobai, and finally at Prince Kang.
He said to Prince Kang in a deep voice: "During this period of time before the truth comes out, you don't have to go to court. I will order someone to take over the government affairs in your hands. You stay in Prince Kang's mansion and recuperate. You are not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned, and you are not allowed to go out without something!"
When King Kang heard this, he became anxious. This meant not only was he being confined to his home, but all the affairs in his hands were also taken away.
Hurriedly pleading: "Father..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Emperor Zhaoqing: "Kangwang Mansion and Imperial Prison, choose one!"
King Kang had to remain silent.
"Today's palace banquet ends here!" Emperor Zhaoqing said with a cold face, and left in a huff.
The queen followed closely behind, also looking very unhappy.
Today is her birthday, and this happened.
Everyone bowed and said, "Farewell to the Emperor, and to the Empress."
After the emperor and empress left, the other concubines naturally would not stay any longer and left one after another. The same went for the other princes and officials.
Yan Mobai stood up from the ground and brushed off the dust on the corner of his robe.
King Kang also stood up from the ground, and suddenly leaned close to Yan Mobai's ear, grinding his back teeth, with a sinister look in his eyes and eyebrows.
"Yan Mobai, don't be happy too soon. I will catch her sooner or later and kill her!"
Yan Mobai's eyes narrowed slightly, his face expressionless, and he tilted his head and said, "Your Highness should quickly find a royal doctor to treat the wound on your face."
King Kang’s expression froze.
It would be fine if he didn't mention this, but he gets very angry when he does.
Just as he was about to explode, Yan Mobai turned around and walked towards Liu Yongning and Yu Wen.
"Lord Liu, Lord Yu, please arrange for a coroner to perform an autopsy as soon as possible. After the autopsy is completed, please notify the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion so that we can go and bring my eldest sister-in-law back and bury her in peace as soon as possible."
The two nodded: "Don't worry, Master Yan, that's natural."
"Thank you."
When Yan Mobai took Chi Feng away, he saw King Kang giving orders in the yard.
"Tian Fu, go to the palace gate and check the guards' records of leaving the palace. Today is the Queen's birthday, and the entry and exit of the palace are strictly checked. Without a palace badge, you can't leave. The king suspects that she is still in the palace. Let them strictly check everyone who leaves the palace, especially the palace maids."
"Han He, take your men to quickly seal off a few city gates and don't let that woman escape from the capital! I will find her even if I have to dig deep into the ground!"
Yan Mobai lowered his eyes slightly but did not stop.
After leaving Haitang Palace, Chi Feng saw that there was no one around him. He couldn't help but follow Yan Mobai and asked in a low voice: "Sir, what happened? The lady..."
"King Kang's men dug a tunnel and kidnapped Lingdang. They plan to use the evidence at the palace banquet today to accuse me of killing Anyang. Ning Pan, go to Haitang Palace and help me kill Lingdang." Yan Mobai's voice was still a little hoarse.
Chi Feng was shocked.
It was so unbelievable that I thought I had heard it wrong.
"Madam...kill Lingdang?"
"Ah."
Chi Feng was greatly shocked.
A weak woman actually went into a dangerous place alone to kill people and silence them?
No, she was not a weak woman. When she pressed his acupoints, it was fast, accurate and ruthless, with amazing skills.
"So, that charred corpse is..." Chi Feng didn't finish his words.
He didn't know if it was the bell or the woman.
Judging from what his master said to the emperor, Minister Liu, and Censor Yu just now, it seemed to be that woman.
But from what King Kang said, it should be the bell. It seems that the woman is still alive and is currently on the run.
He guessed it should be the latter, otherwise, his parents would not react like this.
Therefore, without getting an answer from his master, he did not ask any more questions.
"No wonder the lady made me faint. It turns out she wanted to do this. In fact, she could have brought me along."
Yan Mobai glanced at him and said, "This won't work if you're included."
"Why? Two people are always better than one." Chi Feng was puzzled.
"With you, I can't fool King Kang."
Finally, Yan Mobai said, "It will be hard to get away with you. Besides, you are my man. If you show up in Haitang Palace and someone dies in Haitang Palace, it will prove that I killed Anyang."
Chi Feng nodded, as if he understood, but also as if he didn't fully understand.
"Remember, tell the outside world that the person who died in Haitang Palace was Ning Pan. Say the same thing when you return to the Marquis' Mansion." Yan Mobai said in a deep voice.
Chi Feng was overjoyed.
Although he guessed that the woman was not dead, he was not completely relieved until he heard his master say it himself.
"My subordinate understands."
So, that woman destroyed King Kang's appearance, killed Lingdang, disguised Lingdang as herself, and then successfully escaped?
Bravo!
"Did the lord and mistress plan all this?"
"No," Yan Mobai lowered his eyes slightly: "She didn't tell me a single thing."
Chi Feng was surprised.
Not only was it surprising that such a big thing and such a big action were actually the idea and the work of that woman alone.
I was also surprised that since they hadn't discussed it in advance, how could my master be so sure that the woman had used the trick of escaping and was still alive?
"Then how does your Excellency know that... that charred corpse is not her?"
He just saw the charred corpse, it was so burnt that he couldn't recognize who it was.
Yan Mobai said nothing and strode forward.
Of course he knew.
He had made love with that woman so many times that he was familiar with every part of her body.
There is a small scar on her vest.
The scar is relatively new, the injury occurred no more than a year ago, and the shape does not seem to be caused by being stabbed by a sharp object, but rather by being stabbed by something like a tree branch.
There was none on the charred corpse's back.
No one knows how he felt when he saw that there was no scar on the charred corpse's back.
Just like no one knows how he felt when he saw the double butterfly hairpin and the sandalwood hairpin.
It was like a heart was suddenly cut out, extremely cut, bleeding, and then suddenly restored and suddenly whole.
It turns out that this is the greatest sorrow and joy in the world.
