?
Lu Xiangzhi was so frightened by his sister's words that he almost spat out a mouthful of tea.
What did she mean by saying that she and the emperor went to his place for a meal? Who does she think the emperor is? She speaks as if he can casually teach his brother-in-law a lesson. That is the emperor, the king of a country!
"Where is the emperor?" Lu Xiangzhi lowered his voice. "Why are you here with the emperor? Where is the emperor? Why is there no official to greet you? "
Ye Zhen smiled. "We are staying in an inn. Don't make it public, he doesn't want people to know he is here."
Lu Xiangzhi asked after a long time, "Is this the emperor's intention?"
"Naturally, if it is not his intention, how can I make my own decision?" Ye Zhen said with a smile. "I have been out for so long, it's time to go back."
"I will send you back." Lu Xiangzhi immediately stood up. Knowing that the Emperor was in Phoenix Tree City, he couldn't sit still. Even if the Emperor didn't want to reveal his identity, he couldn't pretend that he didn't know. No matter what, he had to pay his respects to the Emperor.
Ye Zhen nodded with a smile. She went out today when Mo Rongzhan was busy, otherwise, he would not let her go to her brother alone. Now that she went back, she would have to say some good words to please him.
The inn they stayed at was not far from the yamen, and the carriage arrived in less than half an hour.
As Ye Zhen thought, Mo Rongzhan's face was indeed not very good, but because in front of Lu Xiangzhi, he did not show any displeasure except for his indifferent and dignified expression.
"This official greets the emperor." After seeing Mo Rongzhan, Lu Xiangzhi immediately knelt down and saluted.
Mo Rongzhan waved his hand to let him get up. "Rise, I am just passing by and do not want to disturb others. You can treat me as an ordinary relative."
Ordinary relative? What kind of relative? Did he really treat him as an ordinary brother-in-law?
Ye Zhen smiled and nodded. "Yes, big brother, we will not stay in Feng Wu City for a few days."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Xiangzhi replied in a low voice, but in his heart, he was thinking that even though the emperor had said so, how could he dare to be so impudent towards zhen? If it was someone else who was his younger sister's fiancé, and his younger sister hadn't even married yet, being brought around like this, it would be strange if he didn't beat that stinky brat to death.
But could he beat the emperor now? That was treason and heresy.
"Are you having fun?" Mo Rongzhan looked down at Ye Zhen and asked. This little girl actually learned to leave him behind.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Well, not bad."
Lu Xiangzhi coughed softly, "Your Majesty, this subject should not have brought Yaoyao to investigate the case."
"It's not your fault. Even if you don't want to bring her along, she will still go with you," Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
"I don't have any." Ye Zhen's fingers tugged at Mo Rongzhan's sleeve.
Lu Xiangzhi saw this scene and felt surprised. What kind of person was the emperor? He was the ruler of a country with a harem of three thousand beauties. In the past, he had doted on Imperial Concubine Lu, but in the end, he was still able to mercilessly execute Imperial Concubine Lu. In his view, the emperor was the coldest person in the world, but … the emperor seemed to dote on Yao Yao very much.
He wondered if he used to treat Lu Wushuang the same way.
"What case did you follow them to investigate?" Mo Rongzhan looked down at Ye Zhen and asked.
"A murder case." Ye Zhen said, briefly explaining the case of He Wenze's murder. "Do you think it was He Wenze who killed Sun Yaoyao or Prince Zheng?"
Mo Rongzhan looked down at her and asked Lu Xiangzhi, "Is Prince Zheng from the Marquis of Zhonghuai?"
"Your Majesty, it is the Prince of the Marquis of Zhonghuai, a famous playboy in Phoenix Tree City." Lu Xiangzhi replied.
"A Marquis's Heir and a merchant. How did the two of them get together?" Mo Rongzhan asked again.
Lu Xiangzhi said, "The Lu family has some business that needs to be done through the Marquis of Zhonghuai. He Wenze approached Prince Zheng for the convenience of business."
"Did anyone see He Wenze kill someone with their own eyes?" Mo Rongzhan asked. If it was just an ordinary murder case, it would not be difficult for Lu Xiangzhi to determine who the murderer was. But now that the Marquis of Zhonghuai was involved, the case was not so easy to judge.
"Your Majesty, no one saw He Wenze kill someone. According to this official's investigation, the person who killed Sun Xiucai is very likely to be Prince Zheng. He Wenze is just a scapegoat, but all the evidence is not very favorable to him." Lu Xiangzhi replied.
Mo Rongzhan said lightly, "Then continue to investigate."
Ye Zhen looked at him curiously, "Do you also think that it was Prince Zheng who killed someone? Did He Wenze want to take the blame for Prince Zheng himself? "
"Are you so curious?" Mo Rongzhan asked, amused.
"I'm quite curious." Ye Zhen nodded, "By the way, He Wenze doesn't know that his wife is pregnant. Big brother, why don't you tell him the news? Maybe he will tell the truth."
Lu Xiangzhi smiled and nodded, "That's what I plan to do."
They did not go to the yamen for dinner, but ate in the inn. Lu Xiangzhi ate a few mouthfuls cautiously. Although the emperor had made it clear that he did not need to care too much about the identity of the emperor and his subjects, he still could not ignore it.
After sending Lu Xiangzhi away, Ye Zhen looked at Mo Rongzhan with a smile on her face, "Ah Zhan, if Prince Zheng kills someone, my eldest brother's case will not be easy to judge, will it?"
"Why would it be difficult to judge? Are you worried that the Marquis of Zhonghuai will intervene?" Mo Rongzhan asked with a smile.
"If the Marquis of Zhonghuai did not intervene, how could He Wenze become a scapegoat?" Ye Zhen snorted, "If the Marquis of Zhonghuai really uses his identity to deal with my eldest brother, you have to let someone help him secretly."
Mo Rongzhan snorted coldly, "Now you think of my use?"
Ye Zhen hugged his neck and rubbed it a few times. "Your Majesty's usefulness has always been great, nAd3 (1)"
"Your eldest brother is not necessarily afraid of the Marquis of Zhonghuai. If he really does not dare to deal with him, he will not continue to investigate the case and will directly sentence He Wenze to murder." Mo Rongzhan nodded, "You underestimate your eldest brother."
"Hey, by the way, I went to Officer Lu's house with my eldest brother today. Guess who I saw." Ye Zhen leaned against Mo Rongzhan's arms and whispered, "Ah Zhan, did you send someone to inquire about Lu Wushuang? Haven't you found her yet? "
Why did she suddenly mention Lu Wushuang? The last thing Mo Rongzhan wanted was to mention this woman in front of her. "Her traces were found in Dongqing, but then she went somewhere."
"Today, we saw Officer Lu's daughter. She looks exactly like Lu Wushuang." Ye Zhen said, "I almost thought she was Lu Wushuang."
"She is in Feng Wu City?" Mo Rongzhan's eyes were cold as he looked at Ye Zhen with a frown.
Ye Zhen smiled, "It's not the real Lu Wushuang, it's just that she looks like He Wenze's wife, a relative of the Lu family."
