227. Chapter 228: Murder in the Great Hall
Bai Li Yu lowered his head, and finally there was a trace of expression on his face, which was an expression of remorse like Bai Li Feng.
Concubine Yu treated him like his own mother, seeing Concubine Yu kneeling in front of the palace in order to help them intercede, regardless of her identity, Bai Liyu felt guilty, no matter what he did, the last thing he wanted to hurt was Concubine Yu.
"No matter how great the merit is, it can't be worth this crime of bullying the king." The prime minister's righteous words came out.
Bai Li Yan's eyes fell on Bai Li Yu, among all his sons, his most important one was naturally the prince Bai Li Yi, and the most distressed one was Bai Li Yu.
He couldn't get rid of the responsibility for the death of Concubine Zhen, although he rehabilitated Concubine Zhen, but he still let Baili Yu lose his mother since he was a child.
In this life, he owes Baili Yu, if he was born in a common people's family, he can ignore the eyes of everyone to protect him, but he is an emperor, and in the face of so many ministers, he can't show favoritism.
Just as Bailiyan was silent, a guard ran into the main hall, "Your Majesty, there is a minister outside who asks to see you." ”
Bailiyan looked outside, a middle-aged man with a cloak stood outside the hall waiting for the transmission, his official uniform had been taken off, and his plain white robe was stained with blood.
Everyone in the hall turned around, and a minister who was closer to the entrance of the hall recognized the person and exclaimed, "Lord Yao! ”
Hearing the sound, Baili's slightly narrowed eyes were glowing with cold light, this Lord Yao is from Concubine Yan's side, and he is also one of the ministers who was bought by Mu Guozhang, why did he appear here? Aren't all the ministers related to Mu Guozhang imprisoned?
"Father, Lord Yao and Mu Guozhang conspired against him, and his sons are afraid that he will be unfavorable to his father, so it is better to let people put him in prison." Baili Yi took a step to the side, facing Bailiyan.
Ru Xi glanced at Master Yao, and then glanced at Baili Yi on the side, and when she looked away, she saw Su Liangdi's slightly curved eyes, although she was wearing a face towel, it could be seen from the corners of her eyes that she was sneering at the moment.
Could it be that Lord Yao's appearance is related to Su Liangdi?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Bailiyan say, "Let him in." ”
After receiving the order, the guards at the gate of the temple let them go.
Master Yao swayed and walked step by step, with chains locked on his hands and feet, and with each step, the chains would drag out a "clang" sound.
He lowered his head, walked to the hall and knelt down, raised his hands above his head, and said in a loud voice: "The guilty minister knocked to see the emperor, this is Mu Guozhang asked the guilty minister to hand over to the emperor, please take a look at the emperor." ”
When I looked closely, I realized that he was holding a blood-stained scroll in his hand.
"What's that?"
"Could it be Mu Guozhang's crime?"
"Mu Guozhang has already entered the prison, what is the purpose of letting Lord Yao send this thing out?"
The minister of the palace suddenly whispered.
Bailiyan glanced at Grandpa Lu, Grandpa Lu nodded and walked over to take the scroll from Master Yao's hand.
Fortunately, the scroll was wrapped in a layer of kraft paper, and Gonggong Lu dismantled the kraft paper and handed the intact scroll to Bailiyan.
The queen, who was sitting next to Bailiyan, looked sideways, and could vaguely see the contents of the scroll, and when she saw the words "Bailiyan", the queen gasped.
Bailiyan turned his head and glared at her, and turned the scroll to the side, and the queen immediately withdrew her gaze and sat upright.
Seeing the queen's expression, Bai Liyi's heart became uneasy, and it can also be said that as soon as Lord Yao appeared, he had a bad premonition.
This old guy, even if you die, do you want to pull a cushion?
Baili thought hatefully.
The queen and Concubine Yan have been fighting for more than 20 years, and behind the scenes, the queen sent someone to investigate Concubine Yan's moves, and Concubine Yan would also send someone to investigate the queen's every move.
It's only strange that Concubine Yan couldn't hold her breath, and took the lead in rebelling, so that he picked up a big bargain, if Concubine Yan didn't rebel, if she wanted to bring down Concubine Yan, she still needed to use the evidence in his hand.
Now, Concubine Yan has been defeated, and the evidence he has collected has become a pile of waste paper, but the evidence in Concubine Yan's hand is not waste paper.
Bai Liyan's hands at his side were quietly clenched, and he secretly looked up at the scroll in Bai Liyan's hand, if he guessed correctly, the scroll was the evidence that Concubine Yan had collected.
There are more than ten pages in the scroll, Bai Liyan quickly glanced at it, and then raised his head without saying a word, and all the people in His Highness did not dare to make a sound, and for a while, the sound of needles falling on the ground in the hall could be heard.
"Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother saw that Bailiyan's face was just ugly, and she didn't say anything, so she called out loudly.
Bai Liyan came back to his senses, the expression on his face was more solemn, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deeply folded, his eyes were sad, and his hand resting on the dragon chair held the scroll extremely tightly, holding back the anger in his heart.
"When did Mu Guozhang give you this scroll?"
Master Yao replied: "On the way to the heavenly prison where Mu Guozhang was escorted. ”
"What else does he say?" Bailiyan asked again.
"Mu Guozhang told the guilty ministers to hand over the scroll to the emperor, and he also said that if the scroll was not published to the world, he would not be blind to death."
Bailiyan sighed heavily, his deep eyebrows tightened, and he was exhausted.
"Father, Lord Yao is a rebel, he should stay in the prison, and the crime of leaving the prison will be added to the first-degree ......"
"Shut up!" Bai Liyan interrupted Bai Liyan's words, Lord Yao looked at Bai Liyi and smiled: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is narrow-minded and can't tolerate anyone, what crime does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to punish the criminals?" The heaviest is only the Nine Clans, this crime has already been suffered, can it be added more? ”
With a sigh of relief, Lord Yao said again: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is generous and does not force each other, Mu Guozhang will not do this, and today's qiē is all caused by His Highness." ”
Baili Yi's clenched fist rattled, and the moment his right hand stretched out, the jade pendant on his waist flew out and became a sharp weapon for killing.
The jade pendant swept over the neck of Lord Peach, only to see him staring at him and falling straight to the ground.
Killing people in the main hall, or killing people in front of the current emperor, this made everyone unexpected, because they didn't expect Baili Yi to kill, so everyone didn't even have time to stop it.
Such a ruthless method made Bailiyan stand up from the dragon chair, and pointed at Bailiyan, "You...... ......Before he could say a complete sentence, Bailiyan sat down on the dragon chair, tilting his head upwards and spitting blood.
"The emperor's ......" Father-in-law Lu stood closest, and hurriedly helped Bailiyan, the queen mother was stunned by the scene of Bailiyan's murder, and after Father-in-law Lu shouted, she woke up, the blood in the palace had already frightened her, and she turned her head and saw blood hanging from the corner of Bailiyan's mouth, and she couldn't lift it in one breath, and her eyes rolled and fainted.
Kneeling under His Royal Highness, Bai Li Yu and Bai Li Feng both looked at Bai Li Yan nervously, Bai Li Yi's eyes swept over everyone coldly, and slowly walked to Lord Yao's side and picked up the jade pendant.
