After the death of the Queen Mother, Wen Yuan fell silent for a long time.
"Miss, there is no way to do this all the time." Chunhua was talking to Chi Zhaoyue when she saw Xue Rui coming from outside in a hurry.
She looked at Xue Rui, who looked anxious, and said calmly: "Something must have happened again."
But no one expected that this incident would involve so much... or even involve so many lives.
"The commander-in-chief is in trouble. The mining area in the west was bombed. The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom was furious. After investigation, he found out that it was his son who led the bombing."
When Wen Yuan heard this, she thought it was some important event, but she didn't expect that it was just the mine being bombed, and it had nothing to do with her.
But before Wen Yuan could say anything, Xue Rui said anxiously: "This matter is also related to the second son of the palace..."
Is it related to the second brother? It shouldn't be, the second brother has always been cautious, how could he be involved in such a thing.
"Now the second young master and his family are being detained."
Wen Yuan still couldn't believe such a thing unless she saw it in person.
While everyone was still shocked by the news, Wen Yuan had already arranged her dress and tore it open, and Shen Huaiyan followed her back to Dingnan Palace.
I saw that this place was completely surrounded by the Forbidden Army...
"Princess Xianyang Jin An." The imperial army saw Wen Yuan reluctantly, but still saluted, "How did the princess come in? The entire Dingnan Palace should be heavily surrounded now."
"Everything in the sky and on the earth, and places where I can't reach, get out of my way."
The imperial guard guarding the door was about to say something else when someone around Wen Yuan pushed him against the wall, "Princess Xianyang! We are here to work for the emperor!"
"Your Majesty?" Wen Yuan said disdainfully, "Your Majesty is just a piece of shit in my eyes."
really.
With Wen Yuan's current status, there is no need to care about anyone.
She opened the door and went in, and found several eunuchs surrounding her second brother, asking, "Second Young Master Wen, you must understand that what you are committing now is the death penalty of confiscating your family and exterminating your clan. Why are you so stubborn and refusing to tell the truth?"
"I am telling the truth. I have nothing more to tell you. Please leave, father-in-law!" The second son of the Wen family had a very tough attitude, which put the eunuchs in a difficult position.
Especially the chief eunuch, he is an old man next to the emperor. Even the civil and military officials have to give three cents less to him when they see him, but now he is humiliated in front of a small official.
He was about to say something more, but when he saw that the person coming was Wen Yuan, he immediately changed his face and said, "Hey, Princess Xianyang, why are you here?"
The chief eunuch got ahead of Wen Yuan and continued: "Princess Xianyang, you have to persuade the second young master Wen. The old slave just said that he would do it, but he just refused to explain."
"The emperor is still thinking about King Dingnan and Princess, so he asked the servants to bring a team over. The others have been escorted to jail for interrogation, but the second young master Wen is still here to hold the child. I don't think this What a grace it is from the Emperor, please help me to persuade me, the servants will go out first and wait for your good news."
As soon as the door was closed, the young apprentice of the chief eunuch stepped forward in confusion and asked the master what he meant, "The brothers of the Wen family have always been very friendly to Wen Yuan. Why should we go to all the trouble when she is here? We can just wait and pick up what is ready." .”
These words made the other little eunuchs suddenly realize, and they all flattered the elder eunuch.
After they were far away from his brother's room, Wen Yuan sat next to him and asked what happened today, "Second brother, what is going on? How can you be related to the person who blew up the mine?"
But even if Wen Yuan came to ask in person, the man never said a word. Wen Yuan was so angry that he broke the tea cup in the room, alerting the Imperial Guards in the yard. "Princess Xianyang?" the leader of the Imperial Guards called tentatively. There was a sound.
"Well, it's okay, don't worry about it." Hearing Wen Yuan's voice from inside, he felt relieved. If he ran away, they, the group of guards, would not be able to survive.
It took a long time before Wen Laoer was willing to speak, "It's your sister-in-law. She said that her family has someone in the western mines and asked me to invest some money there. When the money is returned in the future, double the money will be paid back to me."
When it came to this matter, he was still dissatisfied, "I didn't agree with it at first. After all, the mines in Long Country are owned by the state, and their private mining behavior would be a serious crime if they were discovered... But in the end, I didn't agree." I can withstand your sister-in-law’s pleading.”
So that's what happened... In this way, my brother actually had nothing to do with the mine explosion. He just invested money in a private mine out of confusion.
In this case, things would be much easier to handle. She immediately patted her second brother on the shoulder to comfort him: "It's okay, second brother, as long as you have nothing to do with the mine explosion, it won't involve you in any way. I'll go out first." For a moment, just sit in the room and don't go anywhere."
After leaving his second brother's room, Wen Yuan found the woman who instigated his brother's investment in another yard.
The woman felt guilty about being a thief. When she saw Wen Yuan running away, she even lost her life, but she couldn't use Wen Yuan's magic skills. Wen Yuan came to her in a flash and said, "Where are you going in such a hurry, second sister-in-law?" .”
The woman stumbled and fell into Wen Yuan's arms before she had time to dodge, "Why aren't you in the Princess's Mansion... What are you doing in Prince Dingnan's Mansion?"
Wen Yuan felt that there were too many people around and it was not a suitable place to talk, so he took the woman to the next room.
As soon as the door closed, Wen Yuan turned around and grabbed the woman's shoulders and asked her loudly why she encouraged her brother to do such a stupid thing, "Do you know that if the emperor hadn't done it for my sake, your family of three would be here now?" They are all dead."
This is an exaggeration, but it is also true.
What's more, the emperor has always been very suspicious. He would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go. If he hadn't been afraid of Wen Yuan, I'm afraid the entire Dingnan Palace would have been imprisoned in Da Nei Prison.
"Me too..." The woman didn't expect things to develop like this, "I really just wanted him to invest some money and earn more... I didn't expect it to develop like this."
"It was wrong for you to invest in private mining in the first place, but now you are involved in this matter. The emperor now suspects that Prince Dingnan's palace is colluding with those outside forces."
Because too many people were involved in the explosion of the mine this time, and even other countries were involved, it was normal for the emperor to be suspicious.
After all, it is not just a mineral vein, it is also the dragon vein of the Dragon Kingdom...
So... this matter will definitely not end so easily.
Wen Yuan scolded the woman a few words, but after realizing that she was really just greedy for money and had no other thoughts, he didn't say anything more. He only reminded her to pay more attention in the future...
Arriving at the palace, Wen Yuan found that the originally peaceful palace was now in chaos. The emperor and the courtiers were quarreling in the main hall. The sixth prince who had committed the crime was imprisoned in his own bedroom and was not allowed to leave.
"Eunuch Zhang, I already know the whole story. The second brother was instigated by his wife to invest money in the west mine. He was not involved in these things. Can you just let it go?"
This matter is not decided by the eunuch and a eunuch. I don’t know why he looks so proud now, and his slightly stooped back immediately straightened up, “Princess Xianyang, this is not decided by us either. Yeah, you'd better go and listen to what the emperor has to say."
No wonder those courtiers looked down upon these eunuchs in the palace, they were really fighting against others.
Wen Yuan was waiting for the emperor in the palace where the Queen Mother used to live. In the past, the Queen Mother would come out to greet her with joy on her face, but now the building is empty...
I don't know how long I waited for the emperor to arrive late, but he didn't want to be like this. Today, he was troubled by the affairs in the court, and then there was the incident of the sixth prince collaborating with outsiders to blow up the mine.
He still can't figure out what this kid wants to do and how he can do such a stupid thing.
"Ayuan, you are now the leader of the Monster Clan. Let me ask you, how do you manage the Monster Clan on a daily basis? What would you do if what happened today happened to you?"
I don't know if it was Wen Yuan's misunderstanding, but she always felt that today's emperor looked very haggard.
Since he asked himself sincerely, of course he had to answer it well.
"Your Majesty, you actually know very well what should be done, but you are afraid that your approach will not stop everyone from talking. You asked the wrong person this question. The demon clan is different from the human clan. In the demon clan, any cruel methods are not surprising, as long as The evidence is conclusive. You want to kill them to vent your anger, but you are afraid of being criticized by the people in the world, but let me tell you, why care so much? This world is yours, as long as you can make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and let the ministers have salaries and food, and have It doesn’t hurt to use a little more drastic measures sometimes.”
"What's more, this kind of thing should remind the world that the reason why the Dragon Kingdom is able to achieve today's status is not only the wise decision of the wise king, but also the decisive decision of killing without fear of worldly judgment."
That's true, but after all, the stakes are high. Killing so many people at once... I'm afraid that the people's sentiment will be unstable, and it won't be helpful to the court.
The emperor thought Wen Yuan was joking with him, but after seeing her serious expression, he hesitated.
"You want me to execute everyone involved? Did you know that your brother is also in it?"
"Of course I'm not asking you to kill everyone, but to use thunderous means to get the truth, and then sentence them according to the law according to what they committed, even if your son or my brother is among them. Only in this way can we have the greatest impact. Good deterrent effect.”
Such a method is too crazy, and the emperor still needs time to think about it.
He looked at Wen Yuan. The child in front of him was no longer the well-behaved A Yuan before. She was now the commander of the Ten Thousand Demonic Abyss, so her thoughts were naturally very different from when she was a human.
The emperor was in a bad mood thinking about today's events and waved Wen Yuan to leave, "I will consider your proposal carefully. You can leave first. I know that your second brother has nothing to do with this matter. He just made an investment out of greed." , I will not pursue him, but you also tell him not to do the same next time, this time it is for the sake of King Dingnan."
In any case, Wen Ji had no impact. If he really killed him, I'm afraid the whole world would have to despise himself as the emperor.
