Three days later.

On this day, the sun is very good, even in late autumn, it is also a rare good weather, the lazy sunlight is sprinkled on some of the large cosmos petals that have not yet withered, and the more beautiful it looks. In Shufang Palace, the woman with beautiful eyebrows was dressed in gorgeous clothes, high up, and the former exotic customs seemed to be swept away in an instant, leaving only a naked murderous aura.

The palace maid next to her handed over the tea: "Niangniang, after drinking tea, it's time to go to the palace to watch the public trial." ”

Concubine Shu slowly took the tea in the palace maid's hand and took a sip, she was also carefully dressed today, and her eyebrows became more and more beautiful and picturesque, and there was a corresponding aggressive momentum, and a red dress undoubtedly made her more imposing. The death of Lord Heyi was a huge blow to Concubine Shu.

For so many years, Concubine Shu has not given birth to a son in the palace except for Lord Heyi, and the matter of seizing the heir has not been thought about over the years, relying on the emperor's favor. Although the emperor did not love her as much as Concubine Chen Guifei at the beginning, it was precisely because she gave birth to a daughter that Lord Heyi did not pose a threat to the country that the emperor was not wary of her.

Although the county lord of Heyi is flying and domineering on weekdays, in the end it is also the meat that falls from her stomach, and she has been pampered with brocade clothes and jade food for so many years, but she doesn't know how to end up with a tragic death. Concubine Shu is an extremely arrogant and impulsive person in her bones, and when she knew that Dao Xuanlang confirmed that it was Jiang Ruan who killed the county lord of Heyi, she wanted to rush out of the city to tear Jiang Ruan to pieces. However, Jiang Ruan had already been locked up by the people of the Criminal Department first, and it was difficult for her to start.

However, there is no one in the world who her concubine can't fight, and she seeks a place among the four concubines in the palace with her scheming and beauty, and she is naturally not a soft persimmon. Even Chen Guifei, who has been fighting with her all her life, is not at a disadvantage now. Jiang Ruan is nothing, she is just the daughter of a small official, and killing the county lord of Heyi is a sin that she can't afford to pay back in her life. After Concubine Shu calmed down, she was not in a hurry.

This case is very involved, she went to the emperor to cry, and the emperor also promised to make decisions for the lord of Heyi County, after so many years of husband and wife, the emperor's emotions Concubine Shu can also grasp one or two points, naturally it can be seen that the emperor has no dislike for Jiang Ruan. Besides, there are all the human and material evidence, and Concubine Shu doesn't even have to take care of it herself, so she can make Jiang Ruan die without a place to be buried.

It is precisely because the people involved in this case are all members of the royal family, and even the Empress Dowager Yide intervened, the emperor agreed to the personal trial of the emperor, since the founding of the country, there have only been one or two things in the personal trial of the imperial court, and they are all major events involving the former founding fathers. Concubine Shu herself knew that in addition to Zhao Guang's family and Empress Dowager Yide, in addition to Zhao Guang's family and Empress Dowager Yide, Lian Jinying King Xiao Shao, Prince Fu Liu Min and Gu Yi, the little prince of the General Army's mansion, were also among them. Every time she thought of it, Concubine Shu gritted her teeth with hatred.

When he was in the palace with the county lord of Yi, because he was favored by the emperor, he also made friends with a group of sons and sisters, and now the lord of Yijun died tragically, but no one stood up to speak for her. It is true that this may have been warned by others, but it can also be seen that what he is dating with Lord Yijun is just a group of friends who drink and meat, on the other hand, Jiang Ruan, but the daughter of an official, and not a genuine royal relative, but so many people rushed to protect her, she is really a fox at a young age!

"King Jin Ying is also there, right?" Concubine Shu put down the teacup and asked in a grim tone.

"Back to Niangniang, King Jinying has already gone first." The palace maid replied.

Concubine Shu slowly clenched her fists, how did Lord Heyi die, Concubine Shu didn't know, but she knew that everything was caused by Xiao Shao. Since the county lord of Heyi lost his life for Xiao Shao, Jiang Ruan, as Xiao Shao's sweetheart, must pay for the county lord of Heyi no matter what. What about being so powerful in the DPRK? In front of everyone's eyes, Xiao Shao may not be able to resist the decree? Seeing the tragic death of her sweetheart like this, as long as she thought of Xiao Shao's angry eyes and Jiang Ruan's desperate appearance, Concubine Shu felt a deep happiness in her heart.

……

Jiang Dan has already entered the palace with the new show girls and lives in the small courtyard where the show girls live together. In the courtyard are a group of twenty-eight girls like flowers and jade, warblers and swallows, so lively. Or there is a concubine of a high-powered family, or a concubine of a small family, sending her daughter to the palace, it is nothing more than looking forward to one day soaring and pulling her mother's family, since ancient times, there have been many such things. It's just that now these girls don't know the sinister and innocent appearance of the palace, which almost dazzles people's eyes.

Jiang Dan sat quietly in the front hall of the house, watching the lively and excited girls happily communicate, and always maintained a lively and somewhat shy smile on her face, such an appearance is not easy to make people guard, so even if she can insert very few words, it does not prevent this group of girls from quickly seeing her as their own.

Among them, the concubine of the waiter's family said: "Hey, sisters, I don't know if you have heard of it, today is the day of the public trial of the case of the county lord of Hong'an, the daughter of the Jiang family who killed the county lord of Heyi." ”

"Ah, exactly, I think about it, but it's not today." Another woman echoed, "It's a pity that we can't go out here, but we can't go to see what's going on." ”

Hearing her tone, she felt regretful, these women were all young and curious, and they were also full of interest in these things, and they were all a little disappointed and interested for a while.

Jiang Dan looked at everything in front of him with a smile, his expression was as usual, as if he hadn't heard the news.

"It's just a murder case, what's there to see." The father of the woman who spoke worked in the Criminal Department, and he wanted to know more about it on weekdays, so he nodded and said, "I heard my father say that there is almost nothing to try in this case of Lord Heyi. The work has also been tested, and there are witnesses like the Four Highnesses, and there is almost nothing to retract the confession. Even if the lord of Hong'an is quite favored by the queen mother? Murdering the royal heir is a great crime of killing the head, and no one can protect him. ”

"The county lord of Hong'an is also bold, but he didn't expect to dare to kill someone." One person seemed to remember something, and looked at Jiang Dan: "Hey, isn't she your sister-in-law?" What do you think is going on? ”

Jiang Dan was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "This matter..." I don't know, I'm just a concubine, and where am I qualified to meddle in these things? ”

"Then she is also so fierce in the mansion on weekdays?" Someone asked curiously: "Have you ever been beaten and scolded by her?" ”

Jiang Dan shook his head, but his eyes flashed with a trace of panic: "No, the eldest sister has never beaten me." ”

The more she said this, the more suspicious her dodging eyes became, and everyone looked at her such a timid appearance, almost talking about Jiang Ruan's color change, and their hearts suddenly understood. For a while, all the chatter was Jiang Ruan's, the same woman was a little jealous, over the years, Jiang Ruan looked good, and his luck was even better, he was protected by the Empress Dowager Yide, and there was a god of war brother, who had already aroused people's jealousy, and now that they were in the water, these people who were originally jealous would naturally come up and step on it mercilessly.

In an inconspicuous corner of the room, there was still a person sitting quietly at the moment. She looked delicate, but her expression was a little indifferent, even a little disdainful, listening to everyone's talk about Jiang Ruan, there was a little disgust on her face. This person is none other than Dong Ying'er.

In the end, she still entered the palace, but now it seems that Dong Ying'er feels that the things that were extremely exclusive in the past are not so difficult now. There are so many celebrities in the palace, even if the emperor remembers her, she also needs some luck, so why bother to say anything about being favored. If the emperor never notices her, even if she dies in the palace like this, it may not be a good thing.

Jiang Ruan had heard her father say it before Dong Ying'er killed the county lord of Heyi, and she didn't believe that Jiang Ruan would kill the county lord of Heyi. It's not because of anything else, it's just because she thinks that Jiang Ruan wants to kill someone, but she won't be stupid enough to be in front of the four princes. Jing Zhaoyin is a smart person, and Dong Ying'er also heard one or two things when analyzing the pros and cons, but this is also something she can't handle.

Sitting here now, listening to these people's belittling of Jiang Ruan, Jiang Dan's coy slander, Dong Ying'er only felt uncomfortable in her stomach, if it was according to her usual temperament, according to her friendship with Jiang Ruan, she would have stepped forward to theorize. But now he just sat on the sidelines, coldly watching the discussion of the audience, and did not come forward.

What I remembered was that when she was about to be sent to the palace, she cried and begged Jiang Ruan, but Jiang Ruan said what to do with her.

Things in the world are almost impermanent, Dong Ying'er didn't know why there was a slight joy in her heart, for example, Jiang Ruan was in prison at such a moment, and was slandered and killed the lord of Hong'an, as those show girls said that it was difficult to escape, what did she have to do?

……

However, how the facts in the palace have changed, the public trial in the palace still has to be heard.

The emperor was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, standing tall, looking at the hundreds of civil and military officials watching the trial, and he had a kind of temperament that was not angry and arrogant.

Today's pre-imperial public trial is not so much to let civil and military officials come to watch the trial to show justice, but rather to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys. In the past few days, there have been some forces in the court who can't hold back and are ready to move, and they are seen by the emperor. also needs to be beaten, those who see the wind and make the rudder are still watching, today's emperor will use the matter of trial to kill their prestige, so that the people of the world can see, who has the final say!

Gonggong Li watched his eyes and nose and looked at his heart, waving the dust and sitting quietly on the side. Instead, Captain Luo Tingwei stood aside, and had already ordered someone to bring the guilty minister up, when he heard someone outside shouting: "The criminal has arrived—"

Jiang Ruan, dressed in snow-white prison clothes, was escorted in by a group of soldiers. But I don't know if Lu Dao has been explained, or because she didn't struggle but had a good attitude, the soldiers didn't hold her hostage, but just followed both sides. She came to the Jinluan Palace step by step, stunned by a sense of lotus step-by-step, smiling, and calm, as if she was not here to participate in a thrilling royal trial, and even with a little leisure, in this way, it was like taking two little guys out to travel quickly.

Seeing this, Concubine Shu, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but flash her eyes slightly, a trace of resentment crossed her eyes, and she slowly tightened the handkerchief in her sleeve.

Jiang Ruan's clothes are clean, and his hair is not messy at all, even at this time, his demeanor is still undiminished. The Chinese military officials of the dynasty had seen her when she accompanied the Empress Dowager back to the palace, and knew that she was charming and moving. Now I haven't seen her for many days, and she appeared so abruptly on the Jinluan Palace, even if she was dressed in prison clothes, but her eyebrows were more and more picturesque, as if she was alive and fragrant. This girl seems to be more beautiful every day, and this time it seems that there are a few points left than the last time. For a while, the younger officials in the court looked a little stupid.

Jiang Ruan walked slowly, but his gaze fell on the black-clothed young man in front of the hundred officials. Today, he is wearing a black embroidered gold python first-class court dress, which looks more and more plump and jade, even among the crowd of people who are not lacking in the pride of the sky, he is still the most eye-catching.

Noticing Jiang Ruan's gaze, a smile flashed in Xiao Shao's eyes, and with such a smile, it became more and more obvious that his beautiful and heroic face had a bit of warmth and grace.

This kind of eye interaction fell in the eyes of Liu Min, who had been paying attention to Jiang Ruan's every move, but it made him feel uncomfortable in his heart. The original worry about Jiang Ruan suddenly turned into uncomfortable, and he turned his head slightly, no longer looking at this heart-wrenching scene.

Xuan Li's smile was gentle, just staring at Jiang Ruan and smiling, as if staring at a prey that was about to fall into a trap, full of pride.

Xuan Lang stood beside Xuan Li, his body slightly inward, as if he was avoiding something, and in the eyes of others, he would only think that this incompetent and cowardly fourth prince was afraid because he was a witness for the first time.

Zhao Guang frowned tightly, looking at Jiang Ruan's gaze was extremely distressed, this was the blood and blood of his Zhao family, but now he was in prison, and he couldn't do anything as a grandfather. Xiao Shao had already greeted him, saying that this matter had his own arrangements, although he was hot, he knew that Xiao Shao was a person who did what he said, and his rash action might ruin Xiao Shao's plan. But until now, I haven't seen any movement from Xiao Shao, Zhao Guang has already scolded Xiao Shao in his heart, and said in his heart that a hairy dog cub is actually playing with his Zhao family like this, could it be that he was fooled? This hairy boy is simply a shrunken turtle, and he didn't have the courage to avenge Ruan Yatou but temporarily retreated?

Unlike Zhao Guang, although the Empress Dowager Yide was also worried about Jiang Ruan in her heart, she did not show any points on her face, and she still looked like an ancient well. It's just that the ruby armor in her left hand is a little uneasy and slowly crosses the edge of the chair, which is her usual action, and once she has something uneasy in her heart, she will unconsciously pull it.

Jiang Ruan is a special existence in the heart of the Empress Dowager Yide, at first she was regarded as Princess Yuanrong, and in the next three years of getting along, she was also a little sincere, and now Jiang Ruan is Xiao Shao's sweetheart. What kind of character Xiao Shao is The Empress Dowager Yide knows very well, such a person is just emotional, just like his father, once he is emotional, he identifies a person. Since it is determined that it is Jiang Ruan, he will definitely not let her fall into danger.

It's just that Xiao Shao has a fierce temperament, and the Empress Dowager Yide is not good at interfering in this matter, because she also knows in her heart that Xiao Shao must have already made a move in the dark, but I don't know how fierce Lu Dao's method is? I only hope that Jiang Ruan's quiet temperament can make him a system. It is true that it is impossible for Empress Dowager Yide to know the Dao, and in some things, Jiang Ruan's temperament is ten thousand times more intense than Xiao Shao.

"Lord Hong'an!" But it was Luo Tingwei who spoke under the emperor's signal: "You killed the county lord of Heyi, there are all the human and material evidence, his heart can be punished, and he murdered the royal heir, the crime is first, what else can you say?" ”

After the case was sent to the Criminal Department, it had already been tried by Dali Temple, and it was almost a crime at that time, but Jiang Ruan bit it to death no matter what and did not admit it, and later there was a statement that the imperial court had tried it himself, so the matter was delayed.

"Lord Heyi didn't kill him." Jiang Ruan said.

She didn't see a trace of panic in her expression, and she made a loud noise, as if what she said was ironclad. People always believe in what is in front of them, and the people who have always believed in Jiang Ruan's murderer have also wavered slightly at this moment - people are always very tolerant of beauties.

"What a sharp tooth, what a femme fatale!" But Concubine Shu sneered and said, "You are young, but you are born with a vicious heart, I don't know how my Heyi offended you and asked you to kill her like this!" As Heyi's mother, I must seek justice for my son, Lord Hong'an, killing people is to pay for their lives! Concubine Shu turned her words and looked at the emperor, and a layer of mist suddenly appeared in her eyes: "Your Majesty, He Yi is your daughter, you want to give the concubine and the dead He Yi to the master!" ”

The emperor lowered his eyes and glanced at Jiang Ruan, who was kneeling down in the hall, and said lightly: "Hong'an, you said that He Yi was not killed by you, so you have to come up with evidence, if you can't show evidence, I can only think that you have nothing to say!" ”

At the end of the words, the tone had intensified, almost mixed with some kind of inexplicable intimidation, and the Son of Heaven was furious and ambushed millions of corpses. The officials were all shocked in their hearts, knowing that this was a precursor to the emperor's anger, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound, for fear that the anger would transfer to themselves. The girl in the hall did not change her expression, as if the wrath of the thunder was just a spring raindrop, and the clouds were already light and light for a moment.

Her gaze swept slightly over the hundred officials, and she stopped for a moment in front of the yellow-clothed monk beside the emperor, the monk was kind and kind-eyed, holding a Zen bead in one hand, receiving her gaze, lowering his eyes slightly, and was about to recite Amitabha Buddha.

"I can testify for her, and Lord Yi's death has nothing to do with her!"

A clear voice suddenly appeared in the hall, the voice came abruptly, like a thunderbolt on their heads, Xiao Shao frowned slightly, the emperor's eyes flashed, Concubine Shu sat up straight all of a sudden, and the Empress Dowager Yide touched the hand of the ruby armor and stopped.

Jiang Ruan's eyes widened suddenly, his body trembled, and he almost turned his head in disbelief.

------Off topic------

Guess who this person is?
