Chapter 120: angry
Chapter 120 Fury
Wei Shangshu learned that the prince had gone to Xiangyun Village, and immediately asked his grandmother to enter the palace to tell Concubine Li.
Concubine Li was in a panic. After thinking for a moment, she called the palace servants to change her clothes.
The palace maid was about to apply powder on her, but Concubine Li held her hand down.
“I will not touch rouge today.” Not only that, she looked in the mirror and put some blush on the ends of her eyes.
Looks like he has just cried, and since he didn’t sleep well last night, he is indeed quite haggard.
“Mother, where are you going?” the palace maid asked in confusion.
Concubine Li said: "Go to Qianyuan Hall to see the emperor."
Now was the time to seize the opportunity. She had to convince the emperor to be lenient with her third brother, and she couldn't tell the truth.
Li Fei knew the emperor well and knew how to say it in order to plead for mercy.
She urged the **** carrying the sedan along the way: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Arrived outside Qianyuan Hall, Concubine Li made a brief announcement and went in.
Since there was no emperor in the main hall, Concubine Li walked around the screen and went to the back hall.
Across the mica screen of Longteng Jiuyuan, I saw a figure sitting behind the crystal curtain.
Concubine Li immediately raised her skirt and knelt down, sobbing: "Your Majesty, you must save my concubine's third brother. He was provoked by an traitor and did something wrong!"
The idea of Wei Shangshu and Li Fei was to push Mr. Wei out when the matter could not be concealed.
But they were afraid that the prince would ask for additional charges, so they planned to lie and claim that someone else had instigated Mr. Wei to pay for the murder.
Hope to be given a lighter sentence.
Li Fei felt that her plan was very good. She begged the emperor sincerely, and by the time the prince returned to the palace, the matter was a done deal.
As for the father-son relationship between the prince and the emperor, there will definitely be a quarrel over this matter.
For her, it was actually a good thing.
As long as the relationship between their father and son becomes worse and worse, her son Mo Changgong can live a more comfortable life.
As a result, Concubine Li cried even more sadly.
“My concubine’s third brother was harmed miserably, woo woo!”
At this time, a cold and sarcastic voice came from behind the curtain: "Empress Li Fei, you are crying too early."
Hearing this voice, Li Fei froze, and the blood flowed all over her body.
The two young eunuchs lowered their heads and silently stepped forward to open the crystal curtain and move the mica screen.
What kind of emperor is there behind the curtain? It’s Mo Lingwei who is rushing back to Beijing after a long journey!
“Ah—!” Li Fei yelled and fell to the ground, her face frightened.
Why is Mo Lingwei here?
His brother's bodyguard saw the prince's carriage stopped at Xiangyun Village with his own eyes!
Mo Lingwei stepped down from the couch, with a dragon embroidered with gold thread in the center of his white and red robe.
In Li Fei's eyes, the dragon's eyes were staring coldly, with a frightening and fierce look.
Mo Lingwei looked sideways at her expression and poured a glass of water leisurely.
His thin lips uttered a cool word: "Ms. Li Fei, you don't seem very happy to see me?"
The young man lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
He said with a scornful smile: "Why, is this prince a ghost that scared you like this? Or he has done too many bad things and is afraid of everyone he sees."
Li Fei broke out in cold sweat on her forehead, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
She held on to her rationality and explained with a trembling voice: "It turns out to be Ling Wei... I just didn't expect it to be you. I thought it was the emperor. It's really against the rules for you to see me in such a mess."
Mo Lingwei's cold, thin eyes flashed with suspicion.
He put down the tea cup: "Father asked me to wait for him here. Do you think I want to stay for a long time?"
Originally, he rushed back to the capital to visit Shen Ningning.
But the emperor sent his guards to look for him overnight, so he returned to the palace to hear what was going on.
However, this time he went out and brought back a lot of new gadgets for Shen Ningning, so he asked the guards to pull his carriage and go to Xiangyun Village to deliver them to the little guy first. Concubine Li was absent-minded, holding on to the seat beside her in a panic, and staggered up: "I see..."
Seeing her like this, Mo Lingwei was even more sure that she might really have a guilty conscience.
“Since the emperor is not here, I will go back first.” Concubine Li wanted to leave.
Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows: "Stop."
Li Fei trembled, and her face turned an inch whiter in fright.
But after all, she had experienced strong winds and waves, and quickly stabilized herself. She turned around and asked, "Ling Wei, what else can I do?"
Mo Lingwei slowly walked up to her. Who would have imagined that a boy of nearly twelve years old was half a head taller than her.
The young man narrowed his eyes: "What did Mr. Wei do to make Concubine Li panic like this?"
“Nothing, nothing!” Li Fei denied.
Mo Lingwei sneered: "Don't want to tell? That's fine, I'll send someone to inquire and they can find out."
Li Fei was startled.
If you really ask him to investigate, maybe the matter will be serious.
"Ling Wei, I didn't say anything because I was afraid that you would be anxious." Concubine Li thought about it and had an idea in her mind.
"Why am I anxious?" Mo Lingwei's tone was cold.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.
"Unless this matter has something to do with Shen Ningning." He didn't even notice that when he said this, his tone was no longer indifferent and casual, but with a kind of arrogance about to get angry.
Li Fei swallowed in fear: "Yes...it has half of the relationship..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Lingwei suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her neck.
“Ah—!” Li Fei screamed, grabbing his arms with both hands.
Mo Lingwei's eyes were as dark as abyss: "Tell me clearly, what's going on?"
Li Fei's face turned red after being pinched, but she couldn't say what she wanted to say.
At this moment, the emperor, who had hurried back from the royal study to talk to his son after discussing political affairs, saw this scene as soon as he entered the door.
The emperor shouted angrily: "Ling Wei! What are you doing? Let go!"
Mo Lingwei looked at him with unabated anger.
“What did you do to Shen Ningning while I was away?”
The emperor hurriedly said: "I have also sent people to investigate. Please let go first, so that I can explain it clearly to you!"
Mo Lingwei glanced at Concubine Li, who was pinched in his hand and rolled her eyes.
Finally, he dropped his hand and threw Li Fei aside.
The emperor wanted to help Concubine Li, but he remembered that his son was still there, so he urged the palace officials: "Help Concubine Li get up."
Mo Lingwei didn't talk nonsense: "Tell me, what happened?"
The emperor told the whole story about the death of the Wu family and how Shen Ningning led the wolves to open a tent outside the city and deliver meals to the refugees.
Mo Lingwei frowned upon hearing this.
While he was away, someone actually wanted to assassinate Shen Ningning?
The emperor said: "I have sent people out to check, Concubine Li, what are you doing here?"
Li Fei covered her neck and coughed, her throat filled with the smell of blood.
She raised her eyes and said hoarsely: "My third brother, I should know what's going on. A few days ago, someone borrowed a sum of gold from him..."
"Borrow it? Are you sure?" Mo Lingwei asked coldly.
Li Fei nodded repeatedly: "My third brother is missing. As long as we find him, all the truth will be revealed!"
Fortunately, she had already thought of another strategy and sent her nanny to give Wei Shangshu a reply before coming to Qianyuan Hall.
