Chapter 179

"Go back to the emperor, never."

Zhang Mingze, who was suddenly named, heard the emperor's question, and hurriedly replied in fear.

Although the reason he said before, I found out from my father-in-law.

But Zhang Mingze knew that the present matter was not over yet.

When he and his master planned this matter, they wanted to kill three birds with one stone.

But now, only two people were named.

Hearing Zhang Mingze's clean reply, Jing Ru narrowed her phoenix eyes, a little cold.

Anticipating that Zhang Mingze would not dare to lie in front of him, the emperor, Jing Ru began to think in his heart about the relationship between the empress and the prince.

His Royal Highness, who was mentioned by Cong Rui before, saw the gloomy expression on his father's face.

He was afraid that he would be involved because of what Zhang Mingze mentioned, so he secretly made a decision in his heart. He stepped out, saluted the emperor, and then explained.

"Father, my son did prepare for today's ancestor worship ceremony yesterday, but I never thought that something happened. These are all because of my incompetence and mistakes. Please punish me!"

"It's just about the curfew at the palace gate yesterday. I really don't know that Mr. Zhang wants to enter the palace to ask to see the emperor, so I ask the emperor to investigate clearly."

First, she admitted her mistake sincerely, and then she explained the reason for yesterday's curfew at the palace gate with reason and evidence, and shirked her responsibility completely. Yao Susu felt that her elder nephew was still so deep in the city.

Seeing that the prince took the initiative to admit his mistake, Jing Ru's narrowed eyes kept scanning back and forth between the prince and Zhang Mingze.

Suspicious, he didn't believe it was such a coincidence.

Even if it was a coincidence last night, is it also a coincidence that the Queen came to discuss matters with him this morning?

But these two coincidences are also related to the explosion of the ancestor worship ceremony.

His Royal Highness and Zhang Mingze lowered their heads, but they still felt the emperor's sharp and scorching gaze.

Therefore, neither of them raised their heads, just bowed their heads silently, waiting for the emperor to speak.

After Jing Ru glanced over those two people, he was still thinking about the reason for the empress's visit, and then Jing Ru's gaze turned again, and he was still standing on the second prince in the queue.

"Qian'er, do you know that your mother came to see you early this morning, but what did you talk about?"

Jing Qian, who was named by the emperor, knew in his heart that sooner or later his father would call him to talk when he heard Cong Rui announce that the empress would go to the emperor to talk about things in the morning.

Jing Qian, who had already thought about how to answer in advance, when he heard the emperor's question, he quickly took a step sideways, folded his hands and bowed to the emperor, and then answered in a deep voice.

"Going back to my father, I don't know. These days, I'm also busy helping the prince's elder brother with the ancestor worship ceremony, and I haven't seen my mother yet."

What he meant was that he had never met his queen, so he didn't know what his mother wanted to talk to the emperor about.

When Yao Susu heard this, she couldn't help but scoff in her heart.

That His Royal Highness the crown prince is not a good bird, the second child is also the same, both of them have the same sanctimonious appearance.

Yao Susu was a little flustered, she couldn't figure it out, why the same blood flowed through her body, and why the eldest and second were different from the fifth?

Recalling the appearance of Jing Jing that she had seen in the previous life in her mind, his kind attitude towards her in the previous life was as vivid as a movie cutscene, Yao Susu couldn't help showing a slight smile on her face.

It's just that as soon as she thought of Jing Jing, she thought of him now. I'm afraid Jing Jing is only twelve or thirteen years old now.

In his memory, he seems to have had a bad time in the palace, so I don't know how he is now.

Yao Susu, who has not solved her own problems, is still thinking about how others are doing.

I don't know whether to say that she is sure that today's incident has no effect on her, or that she has a big heart.

Jing Ru, who was sitting in a high position, listened to the reply of his two sons, and the expression on his face was naturally disbelief.

It's just that he doesn't have any evidence to prove that the two of them are related to the explosion in the ancestor worship ceremony.

Compared with how readily he agreed to the Queen's request in the morning, Jing Ru is now more entangled.

After a long silence, all the ministers in the hall held their breath and tried their best to reduce their presence and presence, for fear of being called by the emperor.

"Zan'er, Qian'er, you two go down first. Zhang Mingze, come and tell me, who is the celestial phenomenon you're seeing, who is the 'demon girl' you mentioned?!"

The brothers Jing Zan and Jing Qian who were named looked at each other, and neither of them was convinced and returned to their positions in the queue.

Only Zhang Mingze, who was kneeling on the ground, was left behind. Hearing the emperor's stern question, he trembled and didn't know how to answer.

"Back, back to the emperor, I don't know! Originally, after watching the sky at night, I just wanted to report it to the Holy Majesty, so that the Holy Majesty can make a decision."

"Although the process has been a bit twisted and twisted, the subject really doesn't know the result."

Zhang Mingze thought of what his master had said to him, and now that the emperor really started to ask again, he pretended to think about it, and then answered in fear.

"Ridiculous! You don't even know, so what 'demon girl' are you talking about to me? I think you are so impatient, you dare to fool me!"

When Zhang Mingze couldn't ask the answer, Jing Ru's face darkened, and he roared angrily.

When he got angry, the ministers under the hall who had just breathed a sigh of relief all became concerned again, for fear that the emperor's anger would implicate him.

Especially those few ministers who are close to Zhang Mingze, they can't lower their heads now, they almost poked their chins into their chests.

"The emperor spares my life! I really dare not fool the emperor, but, just... By the way, I remembered."

"There is a clue about the hint of the 'demon girl', that is, it is the 'witch girl' who came to the capital from the southwest to affect the ancestor worship ceremony."

After Zhang Mingze finished speaking, Yao Susu was stunned for a moment.

Then she thought, Southwest?
Isn't that the direction she came from?

Sure enough, this chapter Mingze is aimed at himself!

snort!Let's see if I beat him to death!
Yao Susu, who was itching with hatred in her heart, had already started to think about how she would show off her skills later, show off her three-inch tongue, and come to life with Zhang Mingze's suspicion.

"You mean southwest?"

After hearing Zhang Mingze's words, the emperor also showed a strange expression.

He turned his head and glanced at Congrui beside him, and asked in a deep voice, "Congrui, where is the South Chu Kingdom in our capital?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the Southern Chu Kingdom is just to the southwest of our capital."

After contemplating for a moment, Cong Rui bowed his head and nodded back to the emperor.

As soon as Cong Rui's words came out, all the officials under the hall began to show strange expressions.

According to what the emperor asked just now, then this "demon girl" doesn't necessarily refer to the eldest princess who just came back?

That is to say, the Princess Nanling who was sent by the Southern Chu Kingdom for marriage is the one who is most likely to be a "demon girl".

There are many people in the court who follow the wind to make the rudder, no, the emperor is still thinking in the upper seat, and there is someone below who said, "Your majesty, I think that this Southern Chu country is ambitious, and deliberately sent a princess to marry, but in fact it is to destroy the princess. My Jingyue Kingdom is at peace!"
