The fragrance of medicine is alluring, the farm elder sister is cool and cool

Back at the Qin Palace, the Qin Princess greeted Mo Jinghong with unprecedented enthusiasm, "Jinghong is back. I asked the kitchen to cook your favorite dishes. You have been busy with state affairs during this period. You have worked hard. Please take care of yourself."

Mo Jinghong frowned slightly, not knowing what the princess was going to do, and responded lightly. After taking off the cloak, Princess Qin immediately took it over attentively. Mo Jinghong felt something was wrong, looked at the King Qin, then at Princess Qin, took a deep breath and said, "What's going on today? Tell me what's going on. I have something else to do later."

The King of Qin was a little unhappy. He was obviously the father and Mo Jinghong was the son. But because Mo Jinghong was a meritorious official who helped the new emperor ascend the throne and was the vice emperor, he still had to ask him for help. He really couldn't let go of his old face. "Jinghong, your brother was arrested by the Ministry of Justice. Go and get him out quickly."

Princess Qin clenched her hands and looked at Mo Jinghong expectantly. Mo Jinghong had a cold face and refused decisively: "Do you think I'm in charge of the Ministry of Justice? If you want to release him, then release him. If the third brother is innocent, he will be released. If he is guilty, I can do nothing about it."

Mo Jinghong knew what they meant and stood up to leave. Princess Qin stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve tightly, "Jinghong, he is your brother. Can you bear to see your brother in prison? With your current status, releasing your brother is just a matter of words."

The King of Qin's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "He just said a few bad words about the new emperor after drinking and criticized the new policies. He is innocent, so why was he arrested by the Ministry of Justice!"

"Just shut up if you shouldn't say anything. How can he talk about your Majesty behind your back? Your Majesty has just ascended the throne. Recently, many people have been convicted for sensitive remarks and articles. Those people with ulterior motives are trying to pick out sentences from the remarks and articles to frame them and exclude dissidents. But Mo Jingqi got drunk and talked a lot, stepping on the knife edge! If you hadn't covered up for him since he was a child and let him know the price of doing wrong, he wouldn't be lawless and suffer the disaster today!"

Mo Jinghong felt depressed. If he was the one who was arrested today, King Qin would probably not care about him at all and would only scold him for being a rebellious son and for not living up to his expectations. But since he was also his son, Mo Jingqi would be loved by him and even if he made a mistake, he would make it up for him.

Mo Jingqi has always put on a harmless face and caused trouble everywhere. Now he should learn a lesson and restrain himself. In his situation, at most he will be imprisoned for a few years or exiled. Mo Jingqi is a royal relative and will not be beheaded.

When Princess Qin saw that Mo Jinghong had no intention of intervening, she became so anxious that the veins on her forehead bulged.

The King of Qin said sternly: "How could your mother give birth to such a cold-blooded person like you! That was your brother, and you actually watched him die without saving him."

Mo Jinghong didn't want to argue with them, but now that King Qin actually mentioned his mother and said that he was cold-blooded and heartless, he thought of the grievances and resentment he had suffered over the years, and anger immediately boiled in his chest.

"You don't deserve to mention my mother! What qualifications do you have to mention my mother? Do you think I don't know what happened back then? When my mother gave birth to me, which woman were you in bed with? You say I'm cold-blooded and heartless? From childhood to adulthood, have you ever counted how many crimes I have taken on for Mo Jingqi? Do you want me to tell you one by one? I just refused to bend the law for personal gain, but it all became my fault! More than ten years ago, when my mother was still lying in state, what did you do?!"

After hearing this, Princess Qin's face changed drastically.

"Rebellious son! Rebellious son!" The hands of the King of Qin were shaking with anger. Princess He was kind and gentle in character. He favored his concubine Jiang at the time. Jiang was domineering and arrogant, which made He suffer a lot. Even the old concubine despised He because she was born as a merchant's daughter and didn't like her. He was more romantic when he was young, and he really didn't take good care of Princess He. Later, due to poor postpartum care, He became depressed and eventually died. When the coffin was kept for three days, the sister of the first princess, now the Princess of Qin, came to the palace, and the two made love next to the coffin room.

The King of Qin only realized now that the young Mo Jinghong had seen everything while hiding in the dark. He was immediately furious and thought of how he owed Princess He for so many years. He also loved Princess He very much back then, but as time went by between husband and wife, the novelty inevitably wore off. He was also young at that time, so... For so many years, he always thought that Mo Jinghong had a capricious personality, was unfilial and disobedient, and was lawless. From childhood to adulthood, he had never given him a good face, and he either beat or scolded him, making Mo Jinghong take the blame. As a little boy, he also had thoughts and feelings, and he would also feel heartbroken.

King Qin suddenly felt an endless sense of guilt towards Mo Jinghong, but the feeling was too painful, so he could only use anger to cover up this guilt. At this moment, he really hoped that Mo Jinghong was such an unfilial and rebellious person, so that he would not feel guilty.

"Jinghong, how can you speak to your father like that!" When Princess Qin heard what Mo Jinghong said, she knew that he had discovered what happened that year and was now bringing it up again. She immediately became anxious and accused him.

"Father, after mother passed away, I treated you as my only relative in this mansion, but you brought me beatings and disappointment again and again! I am also your son. If I were arrested today, would you still beg like this?"

How much Mo Jinghong longed for his father to see his excellence, to see him admit that he was sorry to his mother, and to admit that if he was caught, he would beg for help everywhere. However, King Qin only felt that Mo Jinghong was blaming him, that his son was disappointed in him, and that his son refused to save Mo Jingqi.

"You rebellious son, I don't have a son like you. Now that you are powerful and influential, we can't afford to cling to you. Get out! Get out—"

Mo Jinghong's eyes were filled with hot tears, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall. He said in a cold voice: "Okay, I've been in this palace for a long time. You treat me as an enemy. I'm leaving. I will write to His Majesty and ask His Majesty not to care about me and deal with it impartially!"

"You!" The King of Qin was so angry that his eyes were wide open. He covered his chest with his big hands and spurted out a mouthful of blood. Then he fell to his knees on the ground and lost consciousness.

"Your Highness—" Princess Qin exclaimed and ran over crying.

Mo Jinghong heard the sound of falling to the ground, turned around, and saw his father spitting blood from his chest and falling to the ground. He immediately panicked, "Father, father? Someone, someone, quickly find the doctor in the mansion!"

The maids and servants outside, as well as Axuan, heard the shouting and came in to check. Seeing the King of Qin lying on the ground, they immediately ran to find the doctor from the mansion.

The Princess of Qin felt that something was wrong, so she stretched out her index finger and placed it under the nose of the King of Qin. The King of Qin was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand. He didn't care about his dignity as a princess, and sat down on the ground, crying: "My Lord, why did you abandon me?"

Mo Jinghong went to check in disbelief, and found that the King of Qin had indeed died. He could no longer hold back his tears. The King of Qin's wife rode on Mo Jinghong's back like a madman, trying to grab him, leaving several bloody marks on his face and neck.

Mo Jinghong let her beat and scold him. The doctor came quickly with a medicine box. After checking several times, he knelt on the ground and announced that the King of Qin was gone and there was no way to save him. Mo Jinghong then knelt down and lay on the King of Qin and burst into tears.
