The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

Chapter 77 The hero and heroine are taken to prison

The palace was brightly lit.

When Mo Li and Qu Xinzhu changed their clothes and rushed back, they were captured by the Imperial Guards and escorted before the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, your son's greeting!" Although Mo Li was extremely flustered in his heart, his expression remained the same as usual.

But just as he bowed and greeted, a cup of tea was poured on his head.

Qu Xinzhu was startled and hid behind him timidly, not daring to say anything.

Blood mixed with tea dripped from his face, but he didn't dare to wipe it off. He leaned forward and apologized, "Father, although I don't know why you are angry, I beg you to take care of yourself. Anger is harmful to the body. Don't hurt yourself because of a lowly person like me."

"Sixth brother, at this point, what else do you have to hide?" Mo Yihe walked in breathlessly from outside.

He first greeted the old emperor and apologized, "Father, I am incompetent and have not found Wu Xinkui. However, since my sixth brother has returned, I believe that Wu Xinkui's whereabouts will soon be known."

At the end of his words, he looked at the embarrassed handsome man next to him with a gloating look in his eyes.

The old emperor looked at the kneeling man with anger, "You evil creature, why don't you tell the truth!"

"Father, although I don't know why my third brother said that, I really have no knowledge of this matter." Mo Li refused to admit it.

Mo Yihe laughed sarcastically and said, "Sixth brother, I never realized before that you are so good at pretending."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands to the bright yellow figure and said, "Father, I just saw my Sixth Brother wearing night clothes and robbing the prisoner. The surrounding imperial guards saw it with their own eyes. Father, you will know the truth once you ask. And my Sixth Brother was not in the palace tonight. Everyone saw it."

"Father, I was about to go to bed at night when I heard that Miss Qu was kidnapped. I was worried for a moment, so I left the palace alone in a hurry. You can ask Miss Qu about this matter! Moreover, Third Brother also said that the person he saw was wearing night clothes. In this case, how can he be sure that the person was me? Or maybe I was framed. As the saying goes, catch the thief and seize the stolen goods. Third Brother's words are full of loopholes and cannot be trusted." Mo Li's palms were sweaty, but he still gambled everything and relied on his powerful father-in-law to rescue him.

Qu Xinzhu also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Prince Li... Prince Li did come out of the palace tonight to save me. If he hadn't come to rescue me, I'm afraid I would be..." As she spoke, she wiped her tears and huddled beside the handsome man, shaking, as if her fear had not yet subsided.

The old emperor said nothing, but just glanced at both of them.

Mo Yihe sneered, "Everyone knows that the Sixth Prince and Miss Qu are engaged, so how can her words count? What happened tonight is clear. It was you, Prince Li, who colluded with the gangsters and rescued Wu Xinkui, the leader of the martial arts world, from prison!"

"Third brother, please don't throw dirty water on me. I am upright and will not admit to anything I have not done!" Mo Li argued.

Qu Xinzhu looked at this and that, feeling extremely anxious.

Didn’t the Third Prince help them?

Why was he exposing their deeds now?

She was young and inexperienced and really didn't understand the twists and turns involved.

At this time, the other princes also returned one after another, but all of them found nothing.

The old emperor was furious and immediately ordered his men to take Mo Li and Qu Xinzhu to prison and interrogate them severely.

The other princes were also punished by the furious old emperor and were implicated.

The son of fortune who gave him the life-extending elixir is gone, and the palace is destined to be uneasy tonight.

The others were also trembling with fear, fearing that if they made a mistake they would be punished by the old emperor.

The Concubine Shu hurriedly left with the Third Prince, who was being scolded. The Concubine Gui also knew the situation and did not come forward, and stayed in the palace alone.

As the mother of a country, the Queen had no choice but to stand up.

She first ordered someone to quickly summon the prime minister, and then went to appease the old emperor.

But she has always been old-fashioned and couldn't say those soft words. The first thing she said was that she hoped His Majesty could be a benevolent monarch and not increase the killing.

This was like adding fuel to the fire of the old emperor, and he was so angry that he slapped her in the face, "Shut up! Shu Renhui, as the queen, you act just like your old-fashioned father. You rely on being my tutor and often act like a fool in front of me. You must remember that I am the emperor, the Son of Heaven. How can I let you control me?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down! I am only doing my duty as the queen. The same goes for my father. He is your Majesty's tutor, so how could he watch you go astray? As the Son of Heaven, your Majesty should set an example and not..." Shu Renhui knelt on the ground, still speaking old-fashioned dogma.

The old emperor was so angry that he kicked her again.

The queen fell to the ground, her hairpin fell off, her clothes were disheveled, and her face was still arrogant.

"Someone, the Queen has been disrespectful in front of the palace..."

Before he finished speaking, a handsome and elegant figure walked in.

"Why is your majesty angry?"

"My dear Lord Qu, you are finally back." When the old emperor saw him, he hurriedly came forward and told him everything that happened tonight. He then begged him to capture Wu Xinkui.

Qu Honglin clapped his hands, and saw a dishevelled figure being thrown in.

"Is this the man your majesty is talking about?"

"My dear Lord Qu, you are truly a god! Apart from you, there is no one useful around me. If it weren't for your help tonight, I'm afraid I would have..." The old emperor praised him excitedly. After praising him for a while, he hurriedly moved in front of the man. Seeing that he was still breathing, his tense heart finally settled down.

Qu Honglin glanced at the rather embarrassed dignified woman on the ground, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the Queen is the mother of a country, please respect her."

Hearing this, the Queen's eyes flickered, and she quickly lowered her eyes to hide her excitement.

"Yes, yes, I was reckless. I was too anxious just now, so I accidentally hurt the queen in my impulse." The old emperor hurriedly reached out to help the dignified woman up, and said with a smile: "Please don't hate me, Queen."

"I dare not." The queen returned to her previous appearance.

The old emperor didn't take it seriously. He looked at the half-dead man on the ground and said, "Lord Qu, who kidnapped this man?"

"After I got the news, I rushed here. I happened to meet two gangsters on the road, and I captured them in one fell swoop and hung their bodies on the city gate. As for who rescued Wu Xinkui, I don't know, and I don't want to find out." The handsome man said, "I still have some use for this man, so I'll take him back first. As for what Your Majesty needs, I'll have someone deliver it to you, so don't worry."

"Okay, okay, I will listen to you, Prime Minister." The old emperor no longer cared about anything else as he had the flesh and blood of the son of destiny to prolong his life.

Qu Honglin cupped his hands and said, "I have something important to attend to, so I will withdraw first."

Without waiting for a response, he turned and left.

Not only was the old emperor not angry, but he looked at him with gratitude as he left.

The queen also looked at the man's departing back with a complicated expression.
