Chapter 708 Fear of sin and commit suicide
As soon as these words came out, the hall was filled with dead silence for an instant, Emperor Yunjing couldn't help but exert a little force on the hand holding those letters when he heard this.

He lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long while, then sighed sadly after a long time.

"Don't panic, get up and talk." The emperor said, his slightly turbid pupils were completely covered by the half-down eyelashes in the shadows, making it difficult to see clearly, "This is so good, why do people die? ?”

"Back... back to Your Majesty, I don't know, I don't know." The little eunuch didn't dare to get up when he heard the words, and just lowered his head almost to the ground.

"The servant just heard from the imperial guard who came to the imperial city to report that His Highness was fine last night. After nightfall, he went to lie down on the withered grass in the courtyard for a while, and returned to the house when it was close to the third watch."

"However, he didn't sit in the house for a long time. He said that he was bored and wanted to go to the study to find two books of Chinese stories to relieve his boredom, so he just changed his clothes, turned around and turned on the lamp and went to the study."

"This morning when the third concubine got up to eat, she hadn't seen His Highness yet, so she became suspicious, so she hurriedly sent the maids in the mansion to the study room to invite someone. How could you imagine that the maids just entered the study, and saw, and saw His Highness lying on the ground?" There was no movement on the table."

"Maids... maids..." At this point, the little eunuch's tongue was tied.

He trembled his lips and hesitated several times before he managed to finish the sentence: "The maids started to think that His Highness was tired of reading, so they fell asleep with their pillows on the things on the table. How could they be so close? Fang His Highness knows that he is dead—”

"Your Majesty, I heard from the maids in the Third Highness's house that His Highness killed himself with a dagger. When they found him, he held the dagger in his hand and stuck it in his stomach."

"In addition, His Highness held the Fang Jin Niu Yuyin in his other hand. The imperial guards entered the mansion to investigate the situation, and found a hidden compartment with an open door on the bookshelf behind His Highness... The things were taken by them one by one."

"Your Majesty, those things are in this little bundle, please take a look at it, Your Majesty." The little eunuch said tremblingly after speaking, he took out a small cloth bag the size of a palm and the height of a fist from his sleeve.

He ran in a hurry just now, and for a moment he forgot that the forbidden army had given him such a thing, which made him almost do something wrong.

"Deyong, bring it up." Emperor Yun Jing held his breath slightly, then raised his hand and waved his wide sleeves.

"Here." Yu Deyong bowed in response, and hurried down to fetch the brocade package held by the little eunuch for the emperor.

As soon as the package left his hand, the little eunuch immediately collapsed on the ground as if his bones had been ripped out of his body.

"Be more careful, pay attention to your decency." The old inner eunuch shook the whisk in his palm, and took advantage of the situation to squeeze the little eunuch who was about to collapse when he saw it.

With his help, the latter barely knelt on the ground, but his expression was still in a trance, and his body was still trembling.

Seeing this, Yu Deyong sighed silently, turned around and hurried back to the emperor's side, and respectfully presented the package.

When Mo Jingyao saw the brocade package, a gloomy and icy color flickered in his pupils for a moment.

He knew that Mo Shuyun would definitely become an outcast in the hands of Mo Shuyuan and others this time, and he also knew that according to Mo Shuyuan's temperament, he might think of ways to put the third child to death.

But he really didn't expect that this person would be able to act so swiftly - committing suicide in fear of crime... It's really lucky that he could think of this play!
That was his own brother, among so many princes in the court, the only one who treated him sincerely!
Emperor Yunjing's face was vaguely sad. Although he didn't like Mo Shuyun, he knew that with Zhu Sheng and others, his hands would definitely not be clean.

But even now, when he really sees the "relic" left behind by Mo Shuyuan on purpose for everyone to see, he still feels worthless for him.

Mo Shu is far from worthy of his sincere treatment like before.

It's just that the show has to be played right now.

The emperor's brain suddenly felt a pain, he closed his eyes, and then he opened the cloth bag. Inside was a stack of letters with jade pendants and jade seals, and they jumped into everyone's eyes .

Mo Jingyao's eyes narrowed slightly, he reached out and grabbed the seal, put it in his palm, and played with it carefully.

Emperor Yun Jing lowered his brows and eyes, carelessly rubbed the remaining red mud on the seal with his fingertips, and his fingertips touched the slightly sharp knife marks on the seal, which were obviously carved not long ago...

After a while, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he threw the gold and jade seal heavily into the hall.

"clang--"

The sound of the seal falling to the ground was ear-piercing, and the sharp corners knocked against the hall, and a piece of corner was broken in an instant.

"Look at what this is!" The emperor stared at the jade seal, and his already dull face was like dripping ink at this moment. He collected himself, grabbed two pieces of letter paper, flipped through them roughly, and turned to the paper. And picked up the jade pendant.

"King Hanze Ning, if I'm not mistaken, this jade pendant is the token you used to form an alliance with the prince that day?" Emperor Yun Jing said and handed the pendant to Yu Deyong, who immediately sent someone Take the jade pendant down and show it to Ye Tianhan.

The young man in Chinese clothes who waited idly in the palace for a couple of minutes couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly - it seemed that the unlucky fifth prince had made up his mind to let his own brother be his scapegoat.

I just don't know what Emperor Qianping thinks about this.

Ye Tianhan raised his eyelashes slightly in thought, and saw Mo Jingyao's little wink at him at Chuchu.

Seeing this, he understood it instantly, and lazily hung up his voice with a sense of current affairs: "Yes, this is indeed the token that Ye Mou gave to that prince that day."

"It's just that when he kept saying in the letter that he was Mo Shuyuan, the fifth prince of your country, Ye Mou always regarded him as the fifth prince of your country, and he didn't know how this thing got into the hands of the third prince—— "

"Thinking about it, maybe someone lied because they were afraid that the matter would be exposed." Ye Tianhan said, glanced at Liao Zhen indistinctly from the corner of his eye.

If I remember correctly, this person was with the previous Han Hanhou, and this matter obviously has an inescapable relationship with him.

"En." The emperor nodded, and after a while waved his sleeves to signal Yu Deyong to distribute the letters. His face, which was obviously angry before, had returned to its original state.

"My dear friends, what do you think about this matter?" Emperor Yunjing asked in a low voice, his five fingers that were touching the tap on the armrest were slightly tightened, and his fingertips were also turned blue and white by his pinching.

"This... this should be committing suicide in fear of crime?" A certain courtier who had just read the letter hesitated to speak, and before he finished speaking, he had already won the approval of the whole hall.

"Yes, yes, I also feel like committing suicide in fear of crime."

"Although His Majesty the Third Highness and the Fifth Highness have recently been restrained by His Majesty's order, the movement of the prince escorting people back to Beijing last evening is not too small."

"Even if your highnesses can't leave the gate, maybe you can hear a few words from the mouths of the guards..."

"The Third Highness is used to being reckless. Hearing that the prince is returning to the capital, he knew that he was doomed this time. Under an impulse, he killed himself in the middle of the night. It is not impossible."

"After all, self-inflicted suicide can still save the dignity of his prince..."

 Harm, it seems that the hand speed has recovered.

  I will struggle tomorrow to see if I can write more.
