Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 369 Meng Handong is Dead

Mu Yunyao smiled, her eyes shining brightly. Both she and Yue Wang are still burdened with too many things now, and these things are very likely to have an extremely important impact on the future of the two of them.

One year is enough to resolve most of these matters. By that time, if their hearts have not changed, they can naturally be together safely.

Seeing her like this, King Yue couldn't help but also laughed. Her smile was so powerful that even the surrounding mountains and forests became brighter involuntarily. Even just for this smile, he is willing to wait this year.

After Mu Yunyao and King Yue returned to the camp, the imperial guards immediately surrounded them. The second prince, King Yu, had a rather ugly expression on his face. Seeing that the imperial guards were about to detain the two of them, he quickly stopped them: "Presumptuous!" , Father and Emperor have not yet concluded the matter, it is your turn to do it?"

Mu Yunyao's eyes trembled, and there was a bad premonition in her heart.

King Yu stepped forward and said quickly: "Meng Handong of the Meng family is dead. At this time, Meng Xi has brought the body to sue the emperor, saying that you killed Meng Handong. with your mark."

In order to facilitate the identification of prey, the feather arrows used in the hunting grounds are marked with each family's marks, so as to avoid disputes when counting prey.

King Yue nodded, without any panic on his face: "Thank you, Brother Second Emperor, for reminding me."

King Yu patted him on the shoulder, turned his head to look at Mu Yunyao who was on the side: "Be careful, hurry up and go to Emperor Father's camp."

Mu Yunyao took a few steps forward, then suddenly turned around again: "His Royal Highness, may I trouble you to do something?"

King Yu was a little surprised, but still nodded, and waved his hand to make the guards around him retreat further: "Say it."

Mu Yunyao stepped forward, said something softly, and under the joyful eyes of the other party, turned around and followed King Yue's footsteps.

At this time, Meng Handong's body was placed in the emperor's tent.

Mu Yunyao walked in with King Yue, and after saluting, she turned her eyes away.

Previously in the forest, King Yue shot three arrows. The first feathered arrow broke Meng Handong's hair crown, the second feathered arrow pierced his palm, and the third feathered arrow pierced his left shoulder. In other words, there should be only two scars on Meng Handong's body, and neither of them is fatal. But now, a feather arrow stuck in his chest, directly killing him.

The emperor didn't tell the two to get up, and the aura around him was extremely oppressive: "Fourth brother, Meng Xi sued you for murder, but I had someone inspect it, and the arrow that took Meng Handong's life bore your mark on it."

King Yue turned his head and looked at Meng Handong: "I shot the arrows on his palm and shoulder. As for the arrow in his chest that killed him, I have nothing to do with it. Please check it out."

Meng Xi on the side wiped his tears with his sleeves, his expression extremely sad: "Your Highness King Yue, although Handong is impulsive and has a bit of a bad temper, he is a good boy. Even if he offends you in any way, you should not Torturing him like this, and even killing him in the end, such a method is really too cruel."

King Yue turned his head: "Then according to Master Meng, no matter what Meng Handong did, this king should be considerate?"

"The lower official has no such intention..."

"Since there is no such meaning, how do you know that Meng Handong doesn't deserve to die?"

Meng Xi didn't expect King Yue to speak so impolitely, his breath choked up slightly, and he paused for a moment before speaking: "Handong is absolutely measured, he strictly abides by etiquette on weekdays..."

"Then you mean that this king has lost his sense of propriety? Talking about the royal family is a serious crime of beheading, Mr. Meng, have you thought about it?"

Meng Xi shook his head hastily, kowtowing to the emperor constantly: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention."

King Yue's voice was cold: "Meng Handong shot a dark arrow at this king, intending to assassinate him. Fortunately, Miss Mu was on the side to help me prevent the disaster, so I didn't take my life. This king just shot and wounded his palm and shoulder. , Small punishment and big admonition, does Master Meng think that this king has done something wrong?"

"Your Highness King Yue, the small punishment and big commandment you said cost Han Dong's life!"

King Yue bowed to the emperor: "Father, someone intentionally killed Meng Handong, framed the minister, and intended to kill the minister. Please help the minister to uphold justice."

Looking at Ning Junyue, who was so imposing in his words and deeds, a complex look flashed in the emperor's eyes: "You said someone framed him?"

"Exactly, please think about it carefully, my son is the prince of the dynasty. It's easy to embarrass Meng Handong, and even killing him is just a little effort to find an excuse. Why take the risk and kill him secretly? "

Meng Xi was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect him to come forward to complain with confidence, but in the end he was blocked by King Yue and had nothing to say: "Your Majesty, King Yue fabricated all of this out of thin air. The feathered arrow on Han Dong's body is an irrefutable fact. Is it true that when judging a case, it only depends on whether it is reasonable or not, but does not look at whether there is evidence?"

The emperor frowned: "Fourth brother, what else do you have to say?"

Mu Yunyao suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the girl has something to say."

"You?" The emperor glanced coldly, with inexplicable emotions deep in his eyes.

"Reporting to the emperor, the Minnv was present at the time, so it can be said that she was the only witness."

"Oh? Then tell me, what proof can you give?"

"Your Majesty, the women of the people can testify that His Royal Highness Yue Wang is innocent." Feeling the increasing coercion in the camp, Mu Yunyao said clearly without the slightest panic.

"What about the evidence?"

"The evidence is on Meng Handong's body." Mu Yunyao raised her finger and pointed at Meng Handong's body, "The arrow that killed Meng Handong was hit in the chest, from the back of the heart to the front of the chest, and killed him with one blow. The emperor can let the imperial physician examine him For the other two wounds, the direction of the feather arrows is all frontal, which can be easily judged from the wounds."

Meng Xi was not convinced: "Handong sensed His Royal Highness King Yue's killing intent, so he must have turned around and fled. Could it be that he stayed where he was and let King Yue kill him? The arrow in his chest must have been shot when he was escaping. of!"

Mu Yunyao nodded: "Why do you say this as if Mr. Meng saw it with his own eyes?"

"I'm just guessing, of course I haven't seen it with my own eyes."

"Didn't your lord just say that what matters in deciding a case is evidence, not fabrication." Mu Yunyao threw back Meng Xi's words intact, "I am the witness present, and what I said was what I saw with my own eyes. "

Meng Xi gritted his teeth angrily: "You... who knows if what you said is true or not?" King Yue favors her, so she will naturally help King Yue!

At this moment, the second prince, King Yu, walked in quickly: "I have seen the emperor, I have found evidence to prove the innocence of the fourth brother."

The emperor raised his head: "Submit it!"
