Chapter 149: Shocked, it was a dragon robe
Eunuch Wei kindly reminded: "Your Majesty, why don't you step aside for a moment? In case there are poisonous insects, snakes or ants hidden in the box, it's better to be cautious."
The emperor frowned, obviously unwilling to avoid it, so Wei Zhong could only ask the guards to carry the box farther away.
Just as the guards were about to chop the box, several men in black fell from the sky and scattered a large amount of white powder, blocking everyone's view.
When the powder disappeared, the box also disappeared.
"Chase!"
Chen Yunniang watched the box disappear and was obviously relieved.
It seems that the Third Prince still cares about her and doesn't let her face all this alone.
As long as the dragon robe is not discovered in public, no one can punish her.
Su Yujiao also breathed a sigh of relief. Those people dared to take action in public, so the dragon robe must be hidden in the box.
However, the subsequent inspection cannot be careless. What if this is the Third Prince’s plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
The emperor's face turned pale: "Prince Nan, what do you mean?"
Nan Sheng's face was not in good shape either. He came to Daming Country this time just to urge the Saint to get the Dragon Snake Jade, and he did not do anything with the Saint's dowry.
Who knew so many things would happen today?
It would be fine if there were only poisonous flowers and snakes, but someone actually set fire to it in public. Who is framing the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom?
"I don't know."
"I have also ordered people to chase after it. I also want to see what secrets are hidden in that box."
"I want to see who dares to frame my Southern Frontier Kingdom."
"Since Daming Country is deliberately making things difficult for us and is not sincere about the marriage, I think it would be better to call it quits!"
Chen Yunniang was stunned, and actually she also wanted to give up.
Her main purpose of forcing the marriage was to bring the dragon robe into the Lu family through the dowry, to accuse the Lu family of treason, and to help the third prince get rid of the crown prince's greatest help.
Since the plan failed, there was no need for her to continue with the wedding.
This is to prevent the reputation of her being a second-married daughter from spreading in the future and affecting her status as the mother of a country.
Therefore, she nodded on her own initiative: "Since Daming Country cannot accommodate this Saint, then this Saint will not stay."
"Wait, the matter has not been investigated yet. Why are Prince Nan and the Saint Lady so anxious? Are they feeling guilty?" The officials around the emperor blocked their way.
Soon, Mo Shu, Mo Hua and other guards came back, holding the blackened box in their hands.
"Your Majesty, the box has been found, and the bodies of those who died have also been brought back."
"It's just that the body of their colleague who committed suicide spontaneously combusted, and no clues were found."
Su Yujiao frowned. The third prince was really cruel. How could such a person be worthy of being the emperor?
The emperor's eyes were gloomy and his voice was majestic: "Open the box."
"Yes."
Mo Shu split the box open with a knife, revealing a dazzling bright yellow.
Everyone stretched their necks to look into the yard. Mo Shu did not dare to be careless. He used his spear to pick out the bright yellow cloth from the interlayer of the box and shook it out in public.
"Is this... a dragon robe?"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, but the next second everyone knelt down together, too nervous to even breathe.
The emperor's face turned ashen and his eyes were fixed on the dragon robe.
The Queen's figure shook and she almost fainted. If this dragon robe was carried into the Lu family and framed on the eldest brother, the consequences would be disastrous.
The Lu family members looked uglier than each other, and it was obvious that they also realized the seriousness of the matter.
Zhou was so frightened that her face turned pale. If her daughter-in-law had not supported her, she would have fainted.
Su Yujiao was obviously relieved, as she had escaped this disaster.
"Your Majesty, someone is trying to frame my Lu family. Please be careful. This person must be killed!" The Queen was furious.
"Prince Nan, how do you explain this?"
"And Saint, what was your intention in obstructing us in every way before?"
"Qian'er said that you forced this marriage. What was your purpose?"
"Today, no one can leave until this matter is thoroughly investigated."
Facing the queen's domineering attitude, Chen Yunniang seemed a little flustered and guilty.
Nan Sheng, on the other hand, was so angry that he didn't even smile. The Daming Kingdom was simply going too far. They were working together to put on a show just to make trouble for him?
"This is exactly what I was thinking. I won't leave until this matter is thoroughly investigated."
"I want to see who dares to frame my Southern Frontier Kingdom."
"The Daming Kingdom must give me an explanation for this matter, otherwise I'm afraid we'll have to meet on the battlefield."
The emperor's face turned pale and he ordered the Minister of Justice to investigate the case. He also ordered his shadow guard to secretly find out the truth.
In the end, all of Chen Yunniang's dowry was withheld, the marriage fell through, and Prince Nan, Chen Yunniang and others were placed in the temporary palace and were closely monitored.
After the emperor and empress's guard of honor left, the Lu family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone supported each other, but their legs were still weak from fear.
They almost experienced a devastating disaster.
"Jiaojiao, come to my study." Lu Jingming was still calm.
"Ah."
Lu Ziqian also followed him, as today's events were too dangerous.
If Jiaojiao hadn't stopped them, the Lu family would have been finished.
"Did you know that the box contained a dragon robe?"
He now recalled Su Yujiao's dancing movements in the study room, and finally came to his senses.
She made movements that her ears could not hear, and then made a running movement.
He couldn't understand it before and just thought she was acting crazy to stop the wedding.
Now I understand that not being able to hear means being deaf, running means running, and running with the deaf = dragon robe!
Lu Jingming sighed helplessly, this... Even if he was given ten brains, he couldn't guess that "Longpao" was the dragon robe!
Su Yujiao didn't say anything, but shouted to the outside of the door: "Someone come."
The Wei sisters suddenly appeared at the door, pushing a tied-up man.
"Madam, this person took advantage of everyone searching the dowry to sneak into the study and put these things in the secret room."
Lu Jingming's expression changed: "Secret room?"
How could he not know that there was a secret room in his study?
Wei Yingzi walked to the bookcase and turned one of the vases. The bookcase slowly opened, revealing a hidden world behind it.
Lu Jingming and Lu Ziqian entered the secret room with grim expressions. There were countless gold, silver and jewelry hidden in the secret room.
"What did he put in there?"
Su Yujiao handed over the letters, and after reading them, the father and son of the Lu family were so frightened that their faces changed drastically.
First it was the dragon robe, then it was the frame-up letter. Who wanted to put the Lu family to death?
"Dad, did you really write these articles?"
Lu Jingming's face turned pale. These letters were a mixture of real and fake. Some were written by him, and some were not. But the handwriting was all his. If he was really discovered, he would have no way to explain himself.
Lu Ziqian looked at his father's expression of acquiescence and said anxiously, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"These are the ones I wrote, but these are not."
"Dad was definitely feeling unbalanced during those first few years after his military power was taken back."
