The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

This scene at the gate of Zhengyang also caught the eyes of many people.

These people have nothing to do all day long, but they are busy trying to figure out the thoughts of those in higher positions.

The Queen Mother's behavior today inevitably made them feel bad about this person.

In the past month, Princess Mingnuo, who has been the subject of rumors throughout Fengyao City, has become more concerned.

Not far away, a middle-aged man in black armor was staring at the situation at Zhengyang Gate.

The man was in his thirties, with a rugged and resolute appearance and a tall stature.

There was a hint of cruelty and ambition in his pair of slender eyes.

His eyes swept across the beautiful woman, and a hint of disdain flashed in them.

This person is Meng Fanguang, the commander of the guards of Fengyao City, and Meng Fanqi's biological brother.

Unlike his brother who is lustful and promiscuous, in his eyes, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is just a shell.

The future of the family is far less important than the power in one's hands.

But my younger brother...

“Your Highness, if I knew who did Qi’er’s thing, I would know who did it!

I will make him live a life worse than death!"

When Meng Fangguang said this, his eyes were filled with deep pain and murderous intent.

Although Meng Fanqi is uneducated, he is his brother after all.

This morning, I heard from my subordinates that Qi'er had died in such a tragic way, being hanged on the city wall.

When he thought about it, he realized that when he arrived, many people had already gathered under the city wall, pointing and talking.

Qi'er was just hung there naked, being accused and ridiculed by those untouchables.

He wanted to kill those ordinary people at that time!

The person who was talking to Meng Fangguang was the current Crown Prince, Qian Wuling.

Qian Wuling withdrew his gaze and fixed it on Leng Xinmo, with a hint of sadness on his face.

Turning to Meng Fangguang, he said, "Cousin, I have also heard about Qidi's situation.

Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for my younger brother. Cousin, please accept my condolences.

Well...it's just that this matter is not that simple."

Meng Fangguang frowned and said, "I think so too.

Although Qi'er is mischievous, over the years, there are really few people in the entire Fengyao City who dare to provoke him.

I really can't imagine who has the guts to kill him so cruelly!

And...and hung his body on the city wall.

This is clearly a demonstration to the entire Meng family, even to you, the Crown Prince, and the Queen."

Qian Wuling pursed his lips slightly when he heard this.

Meng Fangguang glanced at Qian Wuling's changing expression, which was full of hostility, and then said:

"Your Highness, there is also the Nine Gates Admiral, Zhou Gaoyang!

That old bastard! He said that this matter should be investigated by them.

They dragged Qi'er's body back to the Nine Gates Governor's Office."

"The Nine Gates Commander, Zhou Gaoyang? My father has great trust in him." The prince said in embarrassment.

"That's right! Relying on Concubine Zhou Lan, he was deeply favored by the emperor and took the position of the Nine Gates Admiral.

He has been very rampant all day long. I hope Your Highness and Aunt can tell this. The Zhou family and my Meng family have always been at odds.

If Qi'er's incident happened to Zhou Gaoyang, he would probably be blamed to death."

Qian Wushang thought about it and nodded: No rush, I have already sent someone to inform the Queen Mother.

We will go to the palace now and report this matter to the emperor. We will discuss other matters after we see him."

...

A middle-aged man in a bright yellow dragon robe and a dignified woman in a phoenix robe are sitting and playing chess.

On the white jade chessboard, the black and white pieces are scattered alternately, entangled endlessly, advancing and retreating, concealing murderous intentions.

"The Queen's chess skills have improved compared to half a year ago."

The man in the bright yellow dragon robe spoke in a calm tone, and it was impossible to tell his attitude. Without even raising his head, he placed another move.

"Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. This is just a trivial skill. It is not worthy of your attention. I am sorry that you have made a fool of me."

The woman in the phoenix robe spoke gently, but she did not show any sadness or joy.

"The Queen is too modest. Her chess skills are so good that there are few rivals in Fengyao.

Even the doctors in the palace may not be at this level.

With the Queen as an opponent, this game of chess becomes more interesting.”

Emperor Qianyao spoke his last words very softly, but it made the queen's hand pause slightly. She then smiled faintly, with a graceful and elegant manner.

The armored hand tapped lightly and dropped a piece: "Your Majesty, it's a draw."

Emperor Qian Yao looked at the chessboard with an unclear expression, then raised his head to look at the woman whose smile was just right, without a trace of overstepping the line.

His black eyes flickered slightly, his expression unclear.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, and Commander Meng request a meeting." The eunuch's voice broke the strange atmosphere between the two men.

Emperor Qianyao waved his hand and said, "Call the two of them into the palace..."

He turned to Queen Meng and said, "Another plate!"

"it is good!"

The queen sat upright, arranging the black and white chess pieces one by one.

Emperor Qianyao took the teacup brought by the eunuch and sipped it slowly.

Occasionally, there was the sound of chess pieces rubbing against each other.

Because it is made of high-quality material, the sound seems more pleasant.

As soon as the Crown Prince and Meng Fangguang entered the hall, they saw such a peaceful and beautiful scene.

The woman plays chess, the man drinks tea, the scene is peaceful and tranquil. But for some reason, there is no corresponding affection.

Meng Fangguang even felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.

The prince's expression flickered, perhaps because it was early spring and still a little cold.

"Meet the Emperor, Meet the Queen Mother..."

The prince stepped forward and said.

"Your humble servant greets the Emperor and the Empress..." He lowered his head, feeling a little annoyed.

"Prince and Meng Qing, what's going on?"

While Emperor Qianyao was speaking, he glanced at the Queen lightly and did not ask her to avoid him.

The queen seemed not to hear and was busy fixing the chessboard.

With a plop, Meng Fangguang knelt down straight.

His eyes were red and his expression was sad: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for my brother!"

"Oh? Meng Fanqi, what happened to him?"

Emperor Qian Yao did not look at the two people, one standing and one kneeling.

Instead, he put down the cup, reached out, picked up a black piece, placed it on the chessboard, and continued playing chess with the queen.

Meng Fangguang looked up at Qian Wuling and saw him nod, then he continued:

“Your Majesty, early this morning, Qi’er was killed by evil men, stripped naked, and hung on the east city wall.

This is such a humiliation to my Meng family. Please, Your Majesty, make a decision for Qi'er and my Meng family."

After Meng Fangguang finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily.

Queen Meng's expression remained unchanged, and she continued to think about the chess game with her head down.

Emperor Qianyao threw the chess piece into the chess box and said in a cold voice: "Meng Qing, as the commander of the Fengyao Guard.

Someone, right under your nose, hanged your brother on the tower of the east city wall.

You know nothing about it?"
