Chapter 173 Do you mean me?
Even Song Yunchu didn't expect Mo Rongshi to say it without thinking or considering the consequences.
He quickly and quietly pulled the corner of Mo Rongshi's clothes, signaling him to stop talking.
But Mo Rongshi didn't notice it, or rather, he noticed it but didn't want to look back.
He looked at the emperor's increasingly ugly expression, which remained unchanged.
"If Your Majesty feels that what Emperor Chen said is wrong, then just pretend that I didn't say anything."
"But there are two suspicious points in this case."
"The first one is the tiger. Every time there is a royal hunt, there will be special soldiers who clean up the entire hunting ground in advance to ensure that there are no large beasts in it to protect the safety of the princes and princesses."
"The second question is what Brother Chen just said. How did the person who sprinkled the powder get into the Royal Hunting Grounds?"
"There is only one chance to enter the Royal Hunting Ground, and that is to follow His Majesty in. Otherwise, the Royal Hunting Ground is closed and outsiders cannot enter at all."
"My opinion is that it was probably someone nearby who did it."
Mo Rongshi's analysis made the emperor's face heavy.
Even the old eunuch beside him looked unhappy.
They didn't expect Mo Rongshi to be so arrogant and say it directly.
"Does your Highness mean that His Majesty ordered someone to do it?"
This is really a powerful move, very clever, and it is very good to turn the tables.
Song Yunchu thought lightly in his heart.
The old lady's direct question actually dispelled everyone's doubts.
But he knew that His Majesty was most likely behind this matter.
After hearing the old eunuch asking the same question, Emperor Xuan suddenly slammed the table and stood up.
"What are you talking about? How dare you sow discord between us brothers? Will my brother think that I did it? Will I assassinate my brother?"
Melody's words frightened the old eunuch so much that he trembled and quickly knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life. This is not what I meant."
It must be said that the two actors performed well in the double role.
"That's not what you meant, eunuch. Your Majesty is wise and brave, and you are a brother to His Highness. How could you possibly do that?"
"Yes, yes, this father-in-law must have said something wrong. The two are brothers, it is impossible for them to attack each other."
"I also think what the two adults said is very right."
Others echoed.
They don't care what the truth is, but no matter what the truth is, it can't be the emperor's fault.
What's more, it is hard to say whether the emperor was involved in this matter.
Anyway, they are just a bunch of sycophants and nothing important.
"Your suspicion is reasonable, but there were so many people hunting that day. How can we be sure?"
"Your Majesty needs to investigate this. When I encountered the tiger, I was ultimately defeated, so I fainted."
"But when I woke up again, Song Yunchu was already helping me out."
The old eunuch's expression brightened when he heard this and he interrupted immediately.
"Your Highness said that the tiger was still alive when you fainted, but when you woke up, you had already walked out of the hunting ground, right?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I said just now." Mo Rongshi hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
Although he was also very confused about this matter, he really didn't know how the tiger died.
And the princess standing aside didn't know either.
After he shot the arrow, he quickly left the scene in order to avoid being discovered by Song Yunchu. When he left, the tiger was not dead yet, and even Mo Rongshi had not fainted.
Therefore, the only person present who knew the real reason for the tiger's death was Song Yunchu.
"Then there is a problem here. Song Yunchu is a woman with a very thin body. So how did she avoid the tiger's attack and bring His Highness Ning out?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, even Mo Rongshi was silent.
Because there really isn’t any good explanation for this problem.
He later asked Song Yunchu how he had escaped from the tiger's claws.
But Song Yunchu had kept it secret and had not told her that this problem had now been discovered by the old eunuch.
"Song Yunchu, can you explain it?"
Hearing the old lady's question, Song Yunchu smiled faintly.
"What does this mean, father-in-law? Are you suspicious of something?"
The old lady smiled and shook her head.
"No, but I just want an explanation as to why the tiger let you go after Mo Rong was knocked unconscious?"
"How did you survive? And how did you kill the tiger?"
"Besides, there were only two of you at the scene. Can you give a reasonable explanation?"
Song Yunchu shook his head. He couldn't give a reasonable explanation.
But he has a way of taking the lead.
“When he saw Mo Rong shaking his head, a glimmer of excitement flashed in the old eunuch’s eyes.”
"If that's what you said, it means you have no way to explain this situation. Then I have reason to suspect that there must be something fishy going on. Maybe you are the murderer."
Hearing the old eunuch's words, Mo Rongshi stood up immediately.
"You are just talking nonsense. If you can speak, then speak well. If you can't, then get out!"
When Mo Rongshi heard him actually say that Song Yunchu was the murderer, he became furious and didn't care who this old eunuch was.
"I didn't expect that after all your investigations, you ended up investigating my woman's head?"
"If the murderer is Song Yunchu, then how can I return safely?"
"He could just let the tiger bite me to death, right?"
"I didn't expect that after following my brother for so many years, you are still such a pig-head."
When the old eunuch heard Mo Rong's scolding, he didn't dare to say anything back.
If it were someone else, he could still use the emperor's face to suppress it.
But when facing Mo Rong, he simply couldn't muster up the courage.
"Royal brother, don't be angry, this is a discussion after all."
"Your Majesty, I'm not angry, but what this old man said is too outrageous. How could Song Yunchu be the murderer?"
"I also think what my father-in-law said is too outrageous."
"And I also feel suspicious about what my father-in-law said."
Hearing Song Yunchu's words, everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen.
Who would have thought that there could be doubts about what the old lady said?
"Haha, since you said that what the old farmer said makes sense, then please tell me which sentence is problematic."
The old lady trusted what she said very much.
"Just now, my father-in-law said that there were only two of us at the time. If there were only two of us, how did my father-in-law know about this situation?"
"When Mo Rongshi and I came out, they just said we were attacked, but they didn't say it was just the two of us at the time."
"I wonder how the father-in-law learned about this situation?"
