Chapter 234 Death!
When Mo Rongshi opened the hidden room, he keenly smelled a hint of blood in the air.
He felt that the pressure was not good, so he quickly lit a candle and saw that Sun Ze had fallen to the ground.
There was a lot of blood on the ground. Sun Ze's face was pale and stiff.
Mo Rongshi just stood there in a daze looking at Sun Ze's body on the ground.
"It seems that your majesty is really quick to act."
"Use that old eunuch to hold us back, and then sneak in here and kill Sun Ze."
Mo Rongshi and Song Yunchu are not fools. Ordinary people can't do it in this situation. Even Mo Chuanze can't do it.
In the entire Xuanyue Kingdom, the only one who could sneak into a secret room silently and kill people in it was the emperor.
"I didn't expect that the emperor's power was hidden so deeply that even I didn't discover it." Mo Rongshi laughed, with infinite anger surging in his heart.
This was a good opportunity for Song Yunchu and Chen Yuan to clear their names. But they didn't expect the emperor to be so cruel.
The only witness was simply killed.
Although there is no direct evidence to prove that the emperor did it, Mo Rongshi believes that no second person would risk doing such a thing.
"I'll go find him. I want to see what the important matter is." Mo Rongshi was so angry that he turned around and was about to go to the palace.
But Song Yunchu grabbed him and signaled him not to be impulsive.
"We have no real evidence, so what can we do now?"
"Besides, he is the emperor and you are his subject. Don't confuse your status as emperor and subject."
Song Yunchu remained very calm because he knew that this matter was not so easy to resolve.
But he didn't expect the emperor to be so cruel that he had to kill the witness directly.
Mo Rongshi was very angry when he heard Song Yunchu's words.
"Even if he is the emperor, so what? Even if he is the king and I am the subject, so what?"
"You are the only person I care about most in this world."
"No one can bully you, not even the emperor."
Because the emperor had gone too far in this matter, Mo Rongshi couldn't help but argue with him.
If he was the only one who was wronged, then of course he wouldn't care, but now there is Song Yunchu.
When they got married, Mo Rongshi swore that he would never let Song Yunchu suffer any injustice again in his life.
But now Song Yunchu has been accused of being a murderer, and the only witness has been secretly killed by the emperor.
This is simply too much.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Reputation doesn't matter to me anyway."
"The winner is the king, the loser is the enemy. When our hot weapons are made, will we still be afraid of these rumors?"
"Now think about it, when the old lady came over this morning, she had actually conveyed the emperor's opinion on the matter."
"The prince is still the prince, so his reputation cannot be damaged. The emperor must always protect the prince's reputation."
"Otherwise, once such a scandal is exposed about the prince, no one will listen to him even if he accepts the advice of the people and officials of Xuanyue Country in the future."
"Then since the emperor has said so, he will definitely issue an imperial decree to investigate the matter thoroughly, and then he can clear my name after the matter is fully investigated."
Song Yunchu saw the matter very clearly, so he was not overly excited.
After all, they have nothing to be proud of right now.
If the emperor was really determined to deal with Mo Rongshi, the power of the two of them would definitely not be enough.
So Song Yunchu is now very patiently persuading Mo Rongshi not to act on impulse.
After hearing Song Yunchu's detailed analysis, Mo Rongshi finally suppressed his anger.
"The emperor has gone too far. I have never had such thoughts since I became the God of War. We are still brothers, but he is so wary of me."
"Since ancient times, the imperial family has been the most ruthless. Just because the prince is upright and aboveboard does not mean that others are the same. Let's not pursue this matter any further. The emperor should have a result in a few days."
Hearing this, Mo Rongshi could only nod helplessly, and then asked someone to come in and carry Sun Ze's body out.
I had originally wanted to let Sun Ze and his family enjoy their old age, but now that is no longer possible.
Although Sun Ze's body had been cured, he left this world forever.
On the other side, the old eunuch returned to the palace with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, I have already passed on everything that needs to be said."
Well, after hearing the old eunuch's words, the emperor slowly opened his eyes.
"Yes, it has been done. The witness has been executed secretly." The emperor said lightly, with no expression on his face.
"Your Majesty, have thought too much. Old Lu has never thought of this method." The old lady took the opportunity to flatter him.
"Come on, we've been together for so many years, I don't believe you can't do anything."
"This incident is also a warning to him. The prince is still the prince. No matter what mistakes he made, he cannot have any stain on his reputation."
"But we still need to ease the situation with Mo Rongshi. You should start issuing edicts tomorrow and say that the matter has been investigated thoroughly."
Hearing the plan, the old eunuch was stunned for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth to ask.
"Who are we looking for as the murderer?"
"There are so many people, why don't you just find someone to accuse of a crime?"
"As long as we can shut up those officials, it's no big deal. You can handle this matter after the imperial edict is issued tomorrow."
Hearing the emperor's words, the old eunuch nodded quickly to indicate that he would do as he was told.
After all, it was he who came up with this method in the first place.
It not only does not damage the prince's reputation, but also gives Mo Rongshi an explanation. It is simply the best of both worlds.
"After this old servant left today, I'm sure Mo Rongshi would have discovered that the person was dead. And since he hasn't come yet, the two of them must have tacitly agreed to this."
Hearing the old eunuch's words, the emperor nodded.
If Mo Rongshi really didn't want this outcome and came to him, he would have the opportunity to attack Mo Rongshi.
By that time we can take back his military power.
Without his military power, Mo Rongshi is like a tiger without teeth and is not worth worrying about at all.
That's why the emperor was so relaxed.
As long as Mo Rongshi swallows his anger, he can preserve the prince's reputation in this matter.
As long as the prince's reputation is preserved, the Xuanyue Kingdom will sooner or later belong to the prince.
Even if Mo Rongshi had hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, it would be useless if all those armies and soldiers listened to him.
The next day, Uncle Zhao came down quickly and distributed the money to every official.
After reading the imperial edict, those officials whose daughters or sons had died dared not say anything.
As for this murderer, no one was surprised.
