Chapter 175 (1/2)

The origin of the two assassins in the year of moat was quickly found out. It was Xie Longyuan, the son of the eldest princess, who hired a killer to seek revenge from Mo Rong Yi. The two killers had been following Mo Rong Yi since they were in the temple. They never found a chance to attack him. When they saw Mo Rongyi left alone in the moat, how could they expect to be seen through by a girl.

After Mo Rong Zhan finds out the truth, he immediately lets Tang Zhen arrest Xie Longyuan. He doesn't need to be tortured. He's scared to death.

What is the crime of murdering Wang Ye? Naturally, it's enough to steal the family, but the eldest princess had a favor to Mo Rong Zhan's accession to the throne, so she had to be lenient.

The eldest princess went into the palace to ask the Empress Dowager and Mo rongzhan, and even offered to take out half of her family property to atone for her son.

”Auntie, it's not that I don't let long yuan go. He's also my cousin. Ah Yi is my younger brother. If it wasn't for ah Yi's great life, he would have been in danger this time.” Mo Rong Zhan sighs and says to Princess Chang that he has no heart to convict Xie Longyuan.

The eldest princess gnawed her teeth. If Mo rongzhan really regarded her son as a nephew, he would not have put her son in prison and forced to admit his crime.

”The emperor, it's because the palace didn't teach the son well. I can't blame him for his mistake today. Please allow the emperor to suffer.” The eldest princess knelt down in front of Mo Rong Zhan and begged. She didn't believe it. Mo Rong Zhan dared to let her take the place of sin. Anyway, the little prince was unhurt. Even if her son made a mistake, she would take her home and teach him a few words.

Mo Rong Zhan took a deep look at the eldest princess and said in a low voice, ”aunt, since ancient times, there has never been a mother and son to suffer. Do you want to bear the accusation of unfilial and inhumane?”

The eldest princess's face changed, ”emperor, do you have to condemn Long Yuan?”

”I will ask the Empress Dowager for mercy.” Mo Rong Zhan said.

What's the use of pleading with the Empress Dowager! The eldest princess was angry. She waited outside the palace for a long time. The Empress Dowager refused to see her. How could she let her son go?

”Emperor, if you don't look at the monk's face, you should also look at the Buddha's face. If it had not been for this palace, how could you have been today? Long Yuan is the only son of this palace. You want to condemn him is to take my life.” The eldest princess's tone is rude, she doesn't believe Mo Rong Zhan dares to offend her at this time.

Mo Rong Zhan's eyes flashed a chill. The eldest princess was Zhan who had helped him, so she never paid attention to him and his mother. Recently, she even secretly asked people to find the emperor. What does she want to do?

”Auntie, go back first. I'll try my best.” Mo Rong Zhan said softly.

The eldest princess looked at Mo Rong Zhan, ”OK, the palace will go back first.”

Now she can only hope that Mo Rong Zhan is a grateful person, otherwise, she will certainly not give up like this.

Seeing the eldest princess leave the imperial study, her face is full of fright. She is going to threaten him. If she doesn't release Xie Longyuan, what does she want to do? Unite with the deposed emperor who is under his house arrest to deal with him?

The eldest princess was very kind to him. In fact, the eldest princess didn't mean to help him at the beginning. She only made bets on both sides when she saw him leading troops back to Beijing. She really thought he didn't know that she had sent someone to assassinate him and the Empress Dowager?

”Emperor, Jingning is waiting to see you.” Ford's voice came from outside.

Mo Rong Zhan nodded, ”come in.”

Tang Zhen came in from outside, saluted and said, ”emperor, Xie Shaojie has taken people to the prison of the Ministry of punishment.”

”He wants to pick up his son?” The eldest princess is strong and domineering, but the son-in-law is a cowardly and conceited person who has not made achievements in the imperial court for many years, but has left numerous mistakes.
