Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

Dali Temple took over the case, and Xie Mingan personally took charge of the thorough investigation. The emperor was furious and said that if he knew who wanted to murder Princess Funing, he would kill that person from the Nine Clan!

The court officials paid a lot of attention to the case, and the results came out quickly.

The assassination was actually arranged by a fifth-rank official in the court. He committed suicide at home in fear of the crime and left a last-minute letter begging the emperor to let his family go.

However, the emperor could tell at a glance that he must be taking the blame for others, but the assassins who were caught all testified that he was the instigator.

In the absence of any investigation, the emperor could only give him nine clans to be executed to frighten the government and the public.

On this day, the King of Shu was just about to go out in a carriage. The carriage suddenly stopped and the King almost fell down.

He frowned and scolded the driver: "What's going on?"

The coachman's faintly worried tone came from outside: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty Xie of Dali Temple has stopped our carriage."

The King of Shu was startled, and the next second, Xie Mingan's voice sounded from outside.

"Your Majesty, I have a few words. I want to talk to you alone." He said it respectfully, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised the curtain.

Those dark eyes were filled with anger, which made King Shu feel guilty for no reason.

He sat directly next to the King of Shu: "Your Majesty, you must have heard about the assassination of my sister Ning Ning, right?"

The King of Shu softened his expression: "Of course I heard about it. Fortunately, Princess Funing was protected by heaven and was not injured. Those damn assassins were really heinous. Fortunately, Mr. Xie, you are young and promising and finally found out the mastermind behind the scenes."

Xie Mingan twitched his thin lips and smiled sarcastically.

He stared at the King of Shu with dark eyes: "A fifth-grade official has never had any interaction with my sister. The reason for assassinating her was actually because he couldn't stand her domineering behavior. Do you think it is fake?"

The King of Shu was silent for a while, then nodded: "There seems to be something wrong."

"It's not a little bit, but it's completely wrong. Even people who are not familiar with my sister have heard that she donated money and food. Every time a disaster strikes, who in the entire Cangyun Kingdom has not received her kindness and salvation? This official said this His words show that he was driven to the extreme and uttered nonsense before he died."

Xie Mingan stared at him, his cold eyes like a knife that was about to pierce the King of Shu.

The king of Shu could only apologize.

"It can only mean that he is very stupid. Mr. Xie, please don't get angry with such a person. Haven't the cases been fully investigated?"

"Although the case has been cleared up, I don't believe that it is really him who is behind the scenes." Xie Mingan smiled slightly.

He almost had his doubts written on his face.

King Shu's expression changed: "Master Xie, what do you mean? Do you suspect that I am looking for someone to assassinate the princess?!"

Xie Mingan raised his eyebrows, his eyes were deep and cold with insight into people's hearts.

"I don't dare to make any unreasonable guesses. I came to the prince this time because I also want to explain your affairs to the prince clearly. I am not in the mood to say anything outside."

"But the prince also knows that Sister Chen has been living away from home since she was a child, and she has only returned to enjoy happiness in recent years. She has suffered so much, and we have decided long ago that the Xie family will not let go of anyone who makes her suffer and get hurt.

"So if the prince knows who is the real person who murdered my sister, you might as well give me a warning and don't push me into a hurry, otherwise I will be the first person in the Xie family to go crazy and take revenge."

The dark cruelty in his eyes didn't seem fake.

The King of Shu was shocked. Before he could react, Xie Mingan said goodbye with a sneer, then lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.

Looking through the curtain, he was riding a horse and traveling far away with his guards.

"It's so crazy that you dare to threaten this king." King Shu said, thinking of Xie Mingan's eyes, he couldn't help but frown.

He certainly means what he says.

He was also careless this time. He did not warn the assassin Jingchun found to be careful of Princess Funing's counterattack.

After all, this kid is mature and alert beyond his years.

It's better now, but he really shot himself in the foot.

At this time, Mo Lingwei was also at the emperor's side, sitting with his arms folded with a gloomy expression.

The young man said nothing, only looked at the emperor for a long time with a very bad look on his face.

The emperor sensed that he was in a bad mood, and wanted him to have some quiet time, otherwise he would be choked back angrily by his son if he spoke.

But the emperor lowered his head to review the memorial for a long time, and he always felt that cold and stern gaze always falling on the top of his head, making him distracted and a little uneasy.

The emperor couldn't help it anymore and put down his pen: "Just say what you want to say. Don't just look at me and say nothing. What's going on!"

Mo Lingwei said coldly: "I told you, my father might be angry."

"I'm not someone who gets angry easily. Besides, we are father and son. What can't we say frankly? Just say it. I'll listen and I won't be angry." The emperor smiled patiently.

The next second, Mo Lingwei said with dark eyebrows: "Can you kill uncle?"

The emperor was startled, then shouted: "You kid, what are you talking about!"

Mo Lingwei had already expected that he would be angry, so he sneered.

"Look, I told you that you would be unhappy."

"Nonsense! Your uncle is my father's brother and he takes good care of you."

"I have carefully recalled the past few days. During the time when I just lost my mother when I was a child, it was my eldest aunt who took care of me, not him."

On the contrary, Mo Lingwei had never noticed it before. Recently, when he thought about it carefully, he realized that when he was taken to the Prince of Shu's palace, the Princess of Shu was always by his side.

She made up for the sadness of losing his mother, but the King of Shu always excused himself from the mansion to talk about business all day long.

I only come back at night, bringing some toys bought from outside, or telling him something interesting, just to keep him company.

Mo Lingwei always thought that the King of Shu and the Princess of Shu were one and the same, but until he recalled their relationship as a child, he felt that the King of Shu had done almost nothing.

After Princess Shu gave all her attention and care to Mo Lingwei, King Shu only needed to use his words to make Mo Lingwei think that he was as considerate as Princess Shu.

She had just miscarried her second child at that time, but she still took care of Mo Lingwei's sensitive emotions.

In Mo Lingwei's heart for so many years, he was grateful for Princess Shu's dedication, not the King of Shu who occasionally showed his face.

The emperor felt incredible.

"You used to be full of praise for your uncle, and you thought about everything for them. Why are you suddenly angry with him?"

Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips and looked at the emperor.

"I suspect that he was responsible for Xie Mingan's previous assassination and Shen Ningning's assassination this time."

The emperor was stunned and said with a smile: "How is that possible?"

Mo Lingwei's dark eyes were calm and cold: "I know it may be difficult for my father to believe it. After all, for a person who has been pretending for many years, everyone already thinks he is really like that."

"But I came here this time just to discuss with my father and give me a chance to test him. I will let you see his true face."

Having said this, Mo Lingwei pulled out a cold smile on his thin lips.

The young man's eyebrows were condensed with willfulness.

"Perhaps when the truth is discovered, my father will be more eager to kill my uncle than I am."

Seeing his categorical statement, the emperor couldn't help but wonder, did this kid really know something?

He hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, come and listen."

What Shen Ningning didn't know was that because she was assassinated once, her family went crazy, and Mo Lingwei wanted to drag the emperor along with him to completely break up with the King of Shu because of her. (End of chapter)
