"Prince Ding, Mo Xiuyao, greets the Emperor and Empress. Greets the Empress Dowager. "Mo Xiuyao sat in the wheelchair and said calmly.
The hall was solemn. Mo Jingqi gathered his thoughts and said loudly, "Prince Ding, you may rise."
Mo Xiuyao said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Forgive my rudeness, but may I ask where my wife is? "
Everyone in the hall looked at each other. Mo Jingqi glanced at the Empress Dowager and Mo Jingli who were completely indifferent. His eyes darkened and he turned to look at the Empress. The Empress glanced at Prince Ding and sighed in her heart. She said, "Prince Ding, Princess Ding was also in Yaohua Palace at that time. I'm afraid she has already … Prince Ding, please restrain your grief. "
"Restrain my grief?" Mo Xiuyao calmly glanced at everyone in the hall and asked in a low voice, "My Princess Consort was summoned to the palace for an audience. Now that she is missing, you tell me to restrain my grief?"
"Yaohua Palace was on fire. Ye Zhaoyi, the Sixth Prince, and the servants of Yaohua Palace have all been found. Only Princess Consort Ding is missing. What Prince Ding said is right. Perhaps Prince Ding's Imperial Concubine has been spared. " The Empress Dowager sat up and said seriously, "But now … Princess Consort Ding is missing. The fire in Yaohua Palace … is really strange. "
Ye Ying sat next to Mo Jingli, her eyes red from crying. She was indeed jealous of Ye Yue and hated Ye Li, but she did not expect that her two sisters would suddenly disappear. Ye Yue was really good to her when she was in her mother's home. In the past six months, her relationship with Ye Li had eased a lot. The life of Princess Consort in Prince Li's Mansion made her understand many things that Madam Wang had never taught her. So she knew that Ye Yue and Ye Li's deaths were definitely not good for her. "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, how could my second sister's Yaohua Palace suddenly catch fire? How could it be so coincidental that my third sister was also inside? I beg the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to uphold justice for my two elder sisters. "
Mo Jingli glanced at Ye Li and snorted softly, "If you want to blame someone, blame it on Ye Li's bad luck. She didn't stay in the Prince's Mansion for no reason and ran around everywhere. Didn't she die with Ye Zhaoyi and the Sixth Prince?"
Noble Consort Liu was sitting beside Mo Jingli. Hearing Mo Jingli's words, she raised her head and asked coldly, "King Li, do you mean that someone wants to hurt Ye Zhaoyi and the Sixth Prince, and Princess Ding was accidentally involved?" Mo Jingli sneered. "Isn't it natural? Who would have the guts and ability to set fire and kill people in the palace? And it happened to burn Ye Zhaoyi and the Sixth Prince to death. Who knew if Ye Li saw something and was silenced? Even if he hasn't been burned to death, he should still be in the palace. "
Mo Jingli narrowed his eyes and stared at Mo Jingli. "Does King Li have any objections?"
Mo Jingli smiled and said, "This younger brother doesn't have any objections. But since Princess Ding's body is missing, we have to give the officials and citizens an explanation. He couldn't say that Ding Wangfei had disappeared from the palace like this. If that's the case, who would dare to enter the palace in the future? "The Empress frowned." Then what does King Li mean? "
"Replying to Imperial Sister-in-law, I think it's best to search the palace. If Princess Ding is still alive, she must still be in the palace. Perhaps we can even find the culprit who set the fire. There are so many of us sitting here, the culprit won't come to us, right? I think Prince Ding has the same idea as I. Mo Xiuyao, don't you think so? "
Of course, Mo Jingqi didn't want to search his harem. But facing King Li's righteous suggestion and Prince Ding's indifferent agreement, he had to agree. It was almost certain that before tomorrow, this matter would become a joke and spread to every corner of Da Chu State. Mo Jingqi's heart was filled with hatred. This King Li he had doted on since he was young would not let go of any chance to smear his reputation.
Mo Xiuyao didn't participate in the massive search. Instead, he used his body as an excuse to rest in the side hall. He knew in his heart that Mo Jingli's so-called search wouldn't yield any useful clues. It was very likely that they would find a bunch of messy things in Mo Jingqi's harem. If it was any other time, he wouldn't mind going to take a look. But right now, his mood was very bad. Forcing himself to calm down and speak with those people in the main hall was already his limit.
"Prince, your body …" Shen Yang and Chief Steward Mo stood behind Mo Xiuyao, one on the left and one on the right, asking worriedly.
Mo Xiuyao raised his hand to stop him. He shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Tell Feng Zhiyao to give up the palace. Princess Li is not in the palace. "
Shen Yang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Prince, are you so sure that Princess Ding is still alive?"
"Since Princess Li went to visit Ye Zhaoyi, she should be with Ye Zhaoyi at that time. Even the bones of the Sixth Prince have been found, but Princess Li is missing … With Princess Li's skills, it's impossible that she couldn't escape from Yaohua Palace. Then … "Mo Xiuyao frowned and pondered. Yaohua Palace was completely burned down by the fire. Now it was impossible to find any clues. The Shadow Guard had arrived outside Yaohua Palace at the first moment of the fire, but he didn't see Princess Li come out. Moreover, the fire in Yaohua Palace burned too fast …
"Come."
"Prince." An ordinary-looking old eunuch appeared at an inconspicuous side door of the side hall, respectfully waiting for Mo Xiuyao's order.
Mo Xiuyao said indifferently, "Go and see if there are any secret passages or secret rooms in Yaohua Palace. Also, find out who Princess Ye Zhaoyi was in contact with when she was alive. Finally … send someone who knows medicine to check the bodies of Princess Ye Zhaoyi and the Sixth Prince. "
The old eunuch didn't feel strange about Mo Xiuyao's order. His wrinkled old face was still calm. He respectfully said, "This subordinate will follow your order. I will not disappoint the Prince."
Mo Xiuyao snorted and lightly said, "I won't pursue this matter. If the rest of the things can't be done well. You don't have to come to see I again. "
"Thank you, Prince. This subordinate will take his leave."
Princess Li, I know you'll be fine … You'll be fine!
Ye Li woke up in the darkness, only feeling a throbbing pain in her head. Ye Li couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the end, she was still careless. Even though she knew Mo Jingqi was afraid of the Ding Family, she was still certain that he wouldn't dare to touch the Ding Family's Consort in the palace. But she didn't expect Ye Yue to do this to her. Ye Li didn't immediately open her eyes. She quietly laid on the bed for a while. After confirming that there was no one around her, she slowly opened her eyes.
The situation seemed to be much better than what Ye Li had expected. At least, she was not imprisoned in a dark cell, but in a room that seemed to be well-decorated. The room was decorated according to the style that the noble ladies in the capital liked. The furnishings in the room were elegant and luxurious. Even the windows were covered with the favorite Misty Gauze that the noble ladies liked. Ye Li sat up, leaning against the bedpost and smiling bitterly. Her body was soft. It seemed that Ye Yue had really poisoned her. It was no wonder that the other party dared to put her in such a defenseless room. There wasn't even a guard. They were sure that with her weak body, it would be difficult for her to even walk to the door.
