Fate to Death [17]
Although the words are very harsh, every word is true.
On that day, the emperor once said in front of the ministers of the palace that if the prince of the six days could not find evidence to prove Ming Yulong's innocence, then she would be beheaded and shown to the public!
Now the evidence has been found that the prisoner is actually Bai Yiqian. If Bai Yiqian was released immediately because of Prime Minister Bai Cheng's few words of intercession, it would be too favoritism.
These days, the prince of Ming has been pleading with the palace every day, hoping that the emperor can extend the trial period a little more, but he has never been relieved.
As an emperor, as long as he is not a faint king, he can't be too partial when dealing with his courtiers, otherwise it will make many people feel cold.
Therefore, after the emperor listened to Ming Yulong's words, his eyes flickered, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing this, Prime Minister Bai hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the old minister has reached this age, and there is only one son of Yiqian, please forgive him for the sake of his mistake!" ”
Although Bai Lingyue hated Bai Yiqian beside her and almost pulled her over just now, she still remembered that this brother was kind to her, seeing that Prime Minister Bai Cheng had knelt down, she, as a daughter, would definitely not be left behind, so she also knelt down together, and said in a sad voice:
"Your Majesty, my brother was also confused for a while, and accidentally made a mistake. But he is good every year for the official on weekdays, which proves that he is not a bad person, and he also asks His Majesty to give him a lenient punishment. ”
Bai Yiqian was not far behind, and kowtowed fiercely to the emperor, "Please forgive Your Majesty for this crime!" ”
The fat emperor didn't speak directly, but looked at the Ming prince sitting on the side and asked:
"Lord Ming, it was your daughter who was wrongly blamed at the beginning, and now Prime Minister Bai is pleading with me. I think you have the most say in this matter, how can you deal with it? ”
Ming Yulong's eyes tightened, this fat emperor obviously wanted to sell favors to Prime Minister Bai.
But he couldn't get off the stage, so it was not good to refuse directly, but he threw this thorny problem to Ming Wangye.
If the Ming prince said that he would be executed, and the emperor said that he would execute Bai Yiqian, everyone would only think that the Ming prince was deliberately taking revenge, and Bai Cheng would only be jealous of the Ming prince, and it had nothing to do with the fat emperor.
If the Ming prince said that he would not be executed, this would be in the hands of the fat emperor - he asked you, it was you who said that you would not be executed, he is very democratic!
In the former case, Ming Yulong felt that it didn't matter.
Prime Minister Bai already hated her, and he already hated Prince Ming, if he didn't kill Bai Yiqian, it would be impossible for the people in the two mansions to reconcile.
It was the latter that worried her the most.
Ming Wang Ye is the most middle-of-the-road, that is, everything is casual, almost fine.
In case he says "Forget it!" at this point! Then her suffering in prison, the injustice of being cursed by the people, and the vain of being jointly asked by officials to die in a letter, then it is really a river of spring water flowing eastward, flowing without a shadow!
She looked at Lord Ming, and said in a long tone: "Father, think about it, how to deal with it!" ”
Ming Yulong's tone was different from the previous crisp, her voice was low, with a faint sigh.
Ming Wangye looked up at her misty but extremely firm eyes, and remembered what Ming Yulong had said to him
