Chapter 2196: The Past Life 121

If he allowed the Ninth Emperor to take action, he was afraid that all these people would die mercilessly.

That was why he finally said that.

Even if they died, they would leave an intact corpse for them.

Prince Min froze. He looked at Sima Yan in confusion, did not understand what Sima Yan meant by this.

However, Sima Yan did not allow him to ask and had already stepped away.

After seeing Sima Yan leave, everyone else followed.

The few soldiers carrying Old Lady Mu also followed behind him and went to the palace.

As for Di Ming, after the Ninth Emperor left earlier, he hurriedly followed behind her.

Only people sighing in the streets were left behind.

“This matter was done by Qingya, our n.o.ble Lady?”

“It can’t be. Isn’t Mu Qingya always kind, not even willing to trample ants to death, and the only one who treats her subordinates as human beings?”

“But, it has been so obvious, and there is no existence of any lies. I think this must be related to n.o.ble Lady…”

Everyone could not imagine that Mu Qingya would do such a thing.

She was the G.o.ddess of all people in Feng Yun Kingdom, sincere and kind, pure as an immortal.

Altogether a fairy-like figure.

Moreover, she and Liu Lan had always been in an excellent relations.h.i.+p.

How could she even lay hands on Young Lady Liu Lan to frame Little Nine?

If that was true, what could she not do? Even regicide was possible…

At the imperial palace…

Inside the imperial study room…

A man in a yellow robe sat at the desk, flipping through the doc.u.ments in his hand.

Just then, the eunuch hurried in, “Emperor, General Sima is waiting outside.”

‘Sima is here?’

The emperor was stunned. “Let him in.”

Sima Yan always had nothing to come to him for, but now he was here. The emperor did not know what to expect.

The moment Sima Yan walked in, the emperor froze.

Behind him was a group of people.

Mu Yi, Qingluo, Mu Qingya, Prince Min, Liu Lan, and even… Old Lady Mu was carried in?

The emperor was a bit confused as he froze and opened his mouth to ask. “General Sima, what are you doing here? Why did you come into the palace with Prince Min? And what is with this emperor’s son-in-law’s family? Have I not given an order not to allow them to leave their residence?”

Did something else happen that he did not know about?

The emperor was confused. A sense of unease subconsciously rose in his heart.

This uneasiness made his heart beat faster, but then he calmed it.

“Emperor…” Prince Min put his fist to his palm and said in a deep voice, “Mu Qingya poisoned my granddaughter, Liu Lan. So please, do justice for Prince Min’s Manor.

‘Poisoned Liu Lan?’

The emperor was even more confused. How could Mu Qingya have poisoned Liu Lan? Wasn’t their relations.h.i.+p very good?

Moreover, how could Mu Qingya do such a thing?

The emperor rubbed his temples as he felt a headache coming. “Is there some misunderstanding here? General Sima, tell me. What is going on?”

Hearing the emperor’s words, Qingluo seemed a little smug, and he glanced at Prince Min.

See, even her father was saying that this must be a misunderstanding. This time, he would certainly not punish Qingya. And these people who wanted his mother to be punished would simply make a big mistake.

Her father could not punish them…

Old Lady Mu was also languidly awake. She just woke up to hear the emperor’s words and immediately jumped up from the arms of those guards and glared at Prince Min.
