Chapter 647: Zhu Xing of Dali Temple

eving.An Xue Tang touched her own lips, "Ning'er, go help me get some snow. I want to apply some."This ink cloud scene was like a little dog, gnawing at her for almost an hour. No wonder Ning'er doesn...An Xue Tang blinked, feeling a little strange. Why was A Jing here at this time

Has Mo Yunchen from the mansion left

Or is he planning to delay a few more days

All eyes turned to the door, and as if on cue, Mo Yunjing's tall figure appeared in the doorway, silhouetted against the light.

A slight smile curved An Xue Tang's lips. Could this be what they meant by: her hero arriving on a rainbow cloud

At the moment their eyes met in the air, An Xuetang's lips couldn't help but curl into a faint smile.

Mo Yunjing gave her a reassuring look, then walked in slowly. Seeing the Empress, he did not bow.

The Empress's face was clearly flustered. Her hands clenched slightly, and the memory of being almost sliced across the throat by Mo Yunjing flashed in her mind, filling her with fear.

She hadn't seen Mo Yunjing in a long time, especially after that incident, she had hardly seen him.

She's afraid of death, that much is clear. Mo Yunjing doesn't even care about the Emperor, so why would he care about a mere 'stand-in' Empress

At first, when the former Empress left, Mo Yunjing believed that she and a few other consorts had done something to the former Empress during her pregnancy.

So, on the day the Empress Dowager died, Mo Yunjing acted as if he were insane. He rushed into her palace and the chambers of several other concubines with a sword in hand.

Among those concubines, two were stabbed in the abdomen and nearly lost their lives, while she survived because she had gone to see the former empress alone.

Therefore, she was considered by Mo Yun Jing to be the most likely person to have harmed the former empress. Therefore, that day, if it weren't for the emperor arriving with the Imperial Guard in time, she would have probably died at the hands of Mo Yun Jing's sword.

After that, she hardly saw Mo Yunjing again. She would subconsciously avoid places where she knew he was, even though she was now the Empress, she didn't dare say anything to him.

After all, Mo Yunjing was just a reckless lunatic in her eyes. He wasn't afraid of death, but she was. She hadn't enjoyed being Empress enough to die yet.

At this moment, seeing Mo Yun Jing, she slightly trembled hand lifted, subconsciously touching her neck.

An Xue Tang saw this scene, slightly narrowed her eyes, and her thoughtful gaze swept across the Empress and Mo Yun Jing's faces.

Mo Yunjing also saw Huadu'er at this time, but he didn't show any surprise that Huadu'er would appear here. It was as if he had known about Huadu'er's entry into the palace all along.

And when Hua Duoer saw Mo Yunjing arrive, she knew An Xue Tang must be alright. She silently retreated to the side and didn't intend to participate in anything.

Mo Yun Jing's cold eyes swept across the person on the ground, then looked at the Empress, "What's going on I heard you want to pin the blame on this king's wife"

"Mo Yun Jing's questioning tone made the Empress very unhappy, but she couldn't get angry. She cleared her throat at this moment, "You...this palace...this palace is just speaking about the facts, I don't mean anything against An Xue Tang."

Mo Yunjing let out a cold snort, then turned to look at the person he had brought. "Lord Zhu, this is a murder case. Since you're here, I'll leave the investigation to you."

This Zhu adult is the Zhu Xing of Dali Temple. He was originally sent by the Emperor to investigate the matter of a thief breaking into the imperial palace last night.

But he was just brought into the palace by the King of Beijiang, he was still confused at first. Now seeing this situation, there's nothing he doesn't understand, this King of Beijiang wants him to return justice to the Princess of Beijiang.

Meanwhile, also give the queen a taste of her own medicine!

Zhu Xing understood the implications. He bowed slightly, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty of Beijiang, I will do my utmost to uncover the truth."

This Dali Temple official, Zhu Xing, has never taken sides. He doesn't care which prince or prince will become emperor. He just guards his own little piece of land, investigates cases diligently, and never participates in the power struggles between the princes and princes.

This pleased the Emperor greatly, so he trusted him quite a bit. All these years, he has continued to trust him.

Since such a murder has taken place, he will naturally do his duty and investigate it thoroughly.

And what makes Zhu Xing a good investigator is that he only speaks based on evidence. He won't compromise, no matter who the culprit turns out to be.

Right now, handing it over to him, no one can say anything. The Empress moved her lips several times, wanting to say something, but when she met Mo Yunjing's cold eyes, she immediately swallowed it back down.

Zhu Xing let people in to control the palace maids, questioning them one by one, and meticulously checking everything. The Empress began to panic. She forced her trembling hand and pointed at Zhu Xing:

"Lord Zhu, this is my palace. Who gave you the audacity to run amok here"

Zhu Xing arched his hands, "Your Majesty, I apologize. Since a murder has occurred here, this place is the crime scene. I'm only following procedure, Your Majesty, please understand."

After saying that, Zhu Xing continued with what he was doing, completely ignoring the Empress' anger.

The Empress clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on Mo Yunjing. But Mo Yunjing's attention was solely on An Xuetang. From her perspective, the two shameless individuals were flirting by whispering in each other's ears.

An Xuetang didn't know Zhu Xing's identity, so Mo Yunjing just gave her a simple introduction.

When An Xuetang learned that Zhu Xing was the highest leader of Dali Temple, she raised an eyebrow. She knew about Dali Temple.

The Dali Temple's role is similar to that of the Supreme Court in the 21st century, responsible for handling major cases. So, in her view, having Zhu Xing handle this matter is ideal.

And what's more, this matter isn't complicated at all. Hua Xiang's death was the Empress's doing. What the Empress said today boils down to a plan of framing and shifting blame. But her intelligence isn't sophisticated enough to pull it off.

Now she also understands why the Third Princess Mo Rongyan is so foolish, she must have inherited it from this Empress!

Soon, Zhu Xing uncovered the truth. No one in the palace dared to lie before Mo Yunjing and Zhu Xing, so they all testified that An Xuetang had no opportunity to touch Huaxiang since entering Kunning Palace.

The only person who had ever encountered Hua Xiang was a maidservant in the Empress's presence. Immediately after, Zhu Xing's men found that "blood-stopping" poison on the unconscious maidservant.

So, what's still unclear about this case

The nanny by the Empress' side was the culprit. At this point, the Empress naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to protect her nanny. She merely feigned heartache and expressed disbelief.

Since this matron was the murderer, she should have been taken to the prison by Zhu Xing's men and beheaded on a chosen day. However, Mo Yun Jing suddenly spoke up, having the matron dragged down and executed immediately.

An Xuetang knew why he had done this. After all, the Empress also held power. If the nanny hadn't died and the Empress found a way to save her later, then everything they did today would have been pointless.

Therefore, An Xue Tang did not speak to stop Mo Yun Jing's order.

At this moment, the Empress opposed putting the Nanny to death, but her opposition was meaningless.elf couldn't dodge in time and took the palm strike for her.The man seemed to be serious, his palm strike carried no mercy. Even Feng Ming, who possessed profound internal energy, suffered a slight in...
