Hearing the prince's analysis, Li Yuan's heart struggled fiercely. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There are pros and cons to both options. If he chooses the former, his identity will be revealed immediately, but his parents' case can soon enter the closing stage. If the latter is chosen, his identity can be concealed for the time being, but the closure of his parents' case will have to be postponed. Li Yuan didn't know how to choose for a while.

Of course, he hoped that his parents' case would be closed sooner, but judging from the reality of the situation, the day the case was closed was likely to be the day his life ended.

People are born into the world through the fusion of their parents' essence and blood, and then they are conceived in October, who does not cherish their own lives?

Therefore, this is indeed a very difficult choice for Li Yuan to make.

Li Yuan asked the crown prince: "Your Highness, with your understanding, how will the imperial court punish people like me?" ”

The prince's hand gently rubbed the teacup, and replied softly: "The most serious one will be cut in half, and the next one hundred rods will be reduced to commoners, and they will not be allowed to be officials for several generations, and the second one hundred rods will range from five to ten years." ”

Li Yuan had seen the rod punishment, and knew what kind of stick was used, and what kind of force the executioner used.

If a hundred rods are knocked down, even if a person does not die, it is estimated that eight or nine times out of ten he will be crippled.

Li Yuan's heart was entangled, and he unconsciously shuddered.

"In other words, how exactly the punishment will be carried out depends on His Majesty's intentions?" Li Yuan asked.

"This case is a key examination requested by His Majesty personally, so the final trial must be approved by him."

"So, what do you think Your Majesty will judge me?"

The prince said: "It's hard to say. Then he said, "No matter what, I will do my best to keep you safe." ”

Li Yuan immediately remembered the last time the prince told him, 'I have built a house on a remote island called Jilong in the south, and if the situation here is unfavorable to you, you can go there to live in seclusion', and the panic in his heart was reduced a little, however, he also knew that the supreme decision in this case was the emperor's place, and if the emperor's ruling came suddenly, even the crown prince might not be able to keep him, so he fell into a dilemma again.

Thinking that if he asked the prince to be accommodating to avoid the excavation work in that direction, the crown prince might also be brought into a disadvantageous situation, Li Yuan finally gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Your Highness, I choose to show my identity. ”

If you have to sacrifice, then sacrifice yourself. As long as this can make the truth of the parents' victimization case come to light, and the prince and Wen Yingsu can not be implicated.

The prince looked at Li Yuan silently for a while, and said, "Okay, then you can write down the ins and outs of the matter for me now." This statement will also be used as evidence to be submitted to the Criminal Department, and I hope to write it at its discretion. ”

Li Yuan nodded, got up and came to the desk to write.

That period of the past, if you want to write it out with a pen, it is equivalent to another process of revealing the scar, and it is the most thorough one, it stands to reason that the mood should be very uncalm, but Li Yuan is very calm.

The other day, his emotions fluctuated very much, but now, he has nothing to fear. Anyway, I'm not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of revealing your identity?

The prince quietly looked at him as he struggled, and there was a slight change of emotion on his face.

He couldn't help but guess in his mind Wen Yingsu's reaction when something happened to Li Yuan, and his heart was also sad at the thought that she would be sad, so he secretly said to himself - no matter what, do your best to protect Li Yuan.

When Li Yuan wrote down what happened, it was already three quarters of an hour later. When Li Yuan handed the five-page paper full of words to the prince, the prince quietly concealed the surging feelings in his heart.

The crown prince read the contents of the five pages carefully, and then said, "You can give it to Lord Zhong tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Li Yuan took the paper and swept his eyes over the prince's face.

He noticed a flash of worry in the prince's eyes, and suddenly he had an intuition that 'things won't go too well'.

Li Yuan pondered for a moment and asked, "If I want the third division to help find out the specific reason why my father was demoted back then, do I need to make another written request for this?" ”

"Since this case is being tried now, you can report it to the three divisions at the same time, and there is no need to raise it separately."

"Okay, thank you, Your Highness."

After the two said goodbye, the prince returned to the East Palace and went to Invite Yueju to find Wen Yingsu.

"Your brother chose to reveal his identity to the Ministry of Punishment tomorrow." The prince got straight to the point.

Wen Yingsu's hand to make tea paused, and then put the teapot down, looking slightly nervous.

She wanted to ask him, 'What will happen to my brother when he tells him who he really is,' but she swallowed it back.

As long as the prince is within his ability, she believes that he will do his best to help, and she doesn't want to increase his pressure anymore.

However, she was really worried about Li Yuan's safety. Her body was trembling, but she tried her best to pretend to be calm.

"Okay." She nodded, and then asked, "What will the court do with my brother after he reveals his identity?" ”

I didn't want to ask the prince about this, but I couldn't help but ask. Wen Yingsu regretted it a little as soon as she asked, but it was impossible to take it back.

The crown prince reached over and took her hand in his hand, and said, "The court will dig up your parents' graves according to the clues he provided to determine the truth of what your brother said." ”

"And after that?"

"Triage."

"And after that?"

"If there are no objections, the case can be closed, and if there are still objections, it needs to be arranged on a case-by-case basis." The prince said, took Wen Yingsu into his arms, and said, "Your brother's situation is special, we will all help him, don't worry." ”

"Hmm." Wen Yingsu reached out and hugged him.

That night, Li Yuan slept very unsteadily, so he went to Shen Zhu's room to talk to Shen Zhu.

Although Shen Zhu was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes, when he saw that he was coming, he hurriedly washed his cold water face, put on a piece of clothing and sat to listen to him.

Li Yuan looked at him and said, "There's something I want to tell you about." ”

Seeing his solemn face, Shen Zhu vaguely guessed a few points and said, "You say." ”

Li Yuan revealed his true identity to Shen Zhu.

Shen Zhu looked at Li Yuan and said: "No wonder you were in a trance a few days ago, it turned out that you were carrying such a psychological baggage, it is good to say it, the case will be easier to close, but your own situation has become much more dangerous." ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, but this is already the best choice." ”

Shen Zhu stretched out his hand and patted Li Yuan's shoulder, without saying anything more.

But soon, Shen Zhu's heart became uneasy.

He was worried that Li Yuan would not escape death this time, so he asked again: "Have you told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this?" ”

"Got it."

"What did he say?"

"He respects my choice."

"After tomorrow, your life may be up to you."

"I know."

"Are you afraid?"

Li Yuan shook his head.

It's useless to be afraid.
