Chapter 219: I Have Something to Say
ensure the clan has sufficient wealth, we engage in black market transactions at regular intervals. Our only marketable assets are various poisons, including the Violet Willow Phantom Poison."Therefo...Yun San and Yun Si immediately reacted, nodding repeatedly.
The emperor must be afraid, and an emperor who is so afraid of death must be terrified.
Indeed, the Fifth Prince's threat is harsher this time.
Jiang Qingyang was eager to get revenge on the crown prince, and the three of them wasted no time in planning how to carry out this scheme.
The three of them were all skilled fighters. Moreover, before Yun San came this time, Yun Liu had given him a lot of silent and colorless sleeping pills made by An Xue Tang herself.
He gave Jiang Qingyang and Yun four each a share, and the three of them acted separately.
Mo Yunren's mansion was heavily guarded, and it took them an hour to get in.
An hour later, the three successfully entered Mo Yunren's resting courtyard. At this time, Mo Yunren was playing with his woman and wasn't very vigilant.
Jiang Qingyang narrowed his eyes, having Yun San and Yun Si guard outside the courtyard. He entered the room alone and gave the person inside a dose of An Xue Tang's sleeping drug.
He had to admit, An Xuetang's drug worked too fast. The person just fainted after smelling it.
Jiang Qingyang didn't know where he got the blood-stained greatsword, but he ruthlessly chopped off Mo Yunren's arm and leg.
Mo Yunren, in his coma, seemed to have less pain.
If it weren't for Yun Si and Yun San insisting on preventing him from taking Mo Yunren away to carry out the task of breaking his arms and legs, he would have taken Mo Yunren away long ago and made him watch with his own eyes as Jiang Qingyang chopped off his arms and leg one by one while he was awake.
But Yun San and Yun Si wouldn't let him do that, because time was of the essence. If word got out beforehand about Mo Yunren vanishing, the imperial palace would surely go into lockdown, making it much harder for them to sneak the severed arm and leg into the emperor's bedchamber undetected.
So after some thought, Jiang Qingyang still compromised and could only use this method to kill Mo Yunren.
After a quarter of an hour, Jiang Qingyang brought the things out. Yun Si and Yun San took them from his hands, and the three disappeared from the courtyard, coming and going without a trace!
Screams of agony echoed almost simultaneously from the Emperor's palace and the Second Prince's mansion.
The Second Prince's Mansion... When the woman who had been drugged woke up, she saw Mo Yunren lying on the ground, covered in blood. She screamed in terror.
Mo Yunren also woke up in pain. He was losing too much blood and was barely clinging to life. If it weren't for that woman waking up in time and the family doctor arriving promptly, he would have likely died from blood loss.
And things were much the same in the palace. The emperor's concubines woke before him, and before she could do anything, she saw a bloody arm and leg on the bedhead, and a scream rang out at once.
The emperor was awakened by her, and before he could reprimand her, he also saw the bloody thing on the bedside.
"Come here, quickly!" the emperor roared at the door.
Soon, a group of imperial guards rushed into the palace, kneeling and bowing immediately.
The emperor pointed at the bloodstained thing on the bedside, roaring, "What is this! Where did this come from!"
When the leader of the Imperial Guard, Gao He, saw that thing, he was also shocked for a moment and immediately shouted, "Protect the Emperor!"
Instantly, everyone became alert. Gao and Xiao ran to the emperor's side, "Your Majesty, it is our subordinates who have failed to do their duty, causing Your Majesty alarm. Please punish us!"
The emperor gave him a cold glance. "You... are guilty beyond a doubt. If you don't want to die, then find out what happened tonight and bring the person to me. Otherwise..." He trailed off menacingly. "You will come to see me with your head!"
Gao nodded seriously and bowed, saying, "Yes, my lord, I shall obey!"
Gao had people protect the emperor and the concubines, moving them to a safe location. He led people to thoroughly search every corner of the palace.
Slowly expanding the search area, but still no trace of any suspects.
Who could possibly evade his Imperial Guard and enter the Emperor's palace, so heavily fortified
Gao and almost searched the entire palace, but found no trace whatsoever.
And the news of Mo Yunren's situation quickly spread. When the emperor learned that the bloody arms and legs belonged to Mo Yunren, he almost fainted from anger.
Fortunately, the imperial physician was always by his side. With a few points pressed on his acupuncture, he managed to stay conscious.
Is there anything else that remains unclear at this point
There are no such coincidences in the world. He had someone chop off Mo Yunchen's arm and send it to Beijang to threaten Mo Yunjing, and now the one who proposed chopping off Mo Yunchen's arm, Mo Yunren, has had his own arm and leg chopped off.
And these severed arms and legs were sent into the palace. Without a doubt, this must be the work of Mo Yunjing.
At this moment, the ministers in court looked at each other, none daring to speak.
"Good! Such a brilliant stroke of genius, Ink Cloud Scene!" The Emperor was seething with rage, his face flushed red. "Fetch me, bring Ink Cloud Chen's other leg to be severed too, and send it swiftly to the Northern Border."
"Think carefully, Your Majesty!"
These words were spoken by Zhou You, the Minister of Justice. We saw Zhou You stand up, walk to the center, kneel down, and bow his head in explanation, "Please think carefully, Your Majesty."
The emperor's face was grim, his dangerous eyes fixed on Zhou You. "Zhou Aiqing, what is going on with you lately Why are you always stopping me from taking action against Mo Yunchen Could it be that you have some ulterior motives towards me"
“I dare not.” Zhou You raised his head, bowed respectfully without being humble or arrogant, and spoke openly, “Your Majesty, I have something to say.”
The Emperor snorted coldly, “Speak.”
If Zhou You today cannot articulate anything of substance, I fear for his life.
Zhou You's expression was grave as he explained to the emperor in a calm and measured tone, "Your Majesty, it is highly likely that the Fifth Prince was behind what happened to the Second Prince. Furthermore, the fact that the Fifth Prince had the Second Prince's severed arms and legs sent to your imperial bedchamber was deliberate. His intention is the same as when Your Majesty had the First Prince's severed arm sent to the Northern Frontier."
At this point, another voice arose from the court, “Since everyone knows that it was the Fifth Prince who deliberately did this, why didn’t you allow the Emperor to directly cut off the eldest prince’s leg Zhou You, what are your intentions Could it be that you are working for the Fifth Prince”e.”"How could this possibly be none of my concern Yunliu is quite a figure in the Yun Family Army. He's skilled both in strategy and martial arts, a valuable aide to our King of Beijiang. Even if I di...
