Chapter 187: A Thousand Waves
It's night, in the Yanfu Palace.
On the warm and fragrant phoenix couch, Xi Bochang was naked~ naked and hugged the charming Queen Xiao.
"What are you going to do about Lin Wanyan?" Empress Xiao put her hand on his chest and asked softly.
"Since Ming Xuan is dead, she doesn't say a word, in order to avoid having too many dreams at night, let's finish her off earlier!"
"Finish her up, I'm afraid that no one in this world will know where the demon sword is hidden, and it's a pity to miss a treasure in vain!"
"Can you find it if you keep her? Didn't you say that she didn't seem to know Mingxuan's true identity? What's more, you also used the torture, and still didn't get anything, I think she didn't know at all, if she knew, I was afraid that Situ Yu would have already gotten it, so there was no point in keeping her alive, but it would affect our plans later. ”
"You're right, since that's the case, it's better to arrange for them to try this case tomorrow, convict her sooner, and send her on her way sooner! I really want to see Situ Yu's crazy appearance, you said that he hasn't moved for so long, could it be that he really changed his sex and put his mind on Ruoya? ”
"No, even if he doesn't care about Lin Wanyan, he should always write to ask Ruoya about the situation, but so far there is still no word, it can only be said that he should not know about it. His subordinates must have been afraid that he would be distracted by this matter, so they deliberately suppressed the news and did not report it.
Hmph, the more this is the case, the more it shows that this Lin Wanyan is not light in his heart, they don't say it, but it doesn't mean that we can't say it, and we have to pinch the right time to say it. I have already passed the book to Ji'er, and when this side is guilty, I will immediately tell Situ Yu the news, if he ignores it, then Lin Wanyan will be dead, and then he and Lin Zhong will inevitably turn against each other. If he wants to take care of it, then my heaven and earth net will be waiting for them, but these are not the best, the best thing is that he has a deep love for Lin Wanyan, so deep that he came back to rescue him personally, so he will die! ”
Empress Xiao's eyes were like silk, and she looked at him with great admiration: "You are really an old fox, so it seems that this Lin Wanyan is still of some use, Situ Yu must not have imagined that he would be planted on a woman!" ”
Xi Bochang took her restless hand, pressed her under him, and looked at her with extremely seductive eyes: "He is not the only one who is planted on a woman!" ”
The next day, Xiaoqing, the head of the Department of Internal Affairs, presented the results of Lin Wanyan's case to Emperor Shuntian. In order to show justice, Emperor Shuntian specially summoned Lin Zhong and Xi Bochang and important courtiers to listen and testify, and Situ Yun, who has never liked to show his face, also appeared in the main hall.
Mu Yu appeared in front of everyone for the first time since he was detained, Xiaoqing held the dossier, and presented the witness testimony of the imperial doctor's diagnosis and Lin Wanyan's confession one by one, and finally, without any suspense, Mu Yu was convicted of deliberate murder, because it was the emperor's heir, and the result was extremely serious.
As soon as the words were finished, the hall was unusually quiet. The prince's faction is proud, and the Chenwang faction is because both sides are members of the Chenwang family, and the victims are the concubines of the Chenwang and their heirs, so no one said anything, but they secretly regretted it in their hearts.
Mu Yu knelt in the main hall, and she knelt with Xi Ruoya's personal maid Huan Chunmei.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is not convinced!" Lin Zhong was dissatisfied with the result.
"I knew you would say that! But the evidence is ironclad, why are you dissatisfied in the face of the facts? ”
"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't believe that Wanyan will do such a hurtful thing, although there is a confession drawn by her own hand, but please allow the old minister to ask her face to face!"
"Old Marquis Lin, these white paper, black letters and red handprints are all there, what else is there to verify! This case was ordered by the emperor to personally urge the Department of Internal Affairs to hear it, do you suspect the emperor, or do you suspect the palace? Empress Xiao was afraid of extraneous branches, so she hurriedly spoke out to stop it.
Emperor Shuntian's face suddenly turned pale, and Lin Zhong hurriedly lowered his head and said: "The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister just can't accept such a fact!" ”
"Yes, don't say it's you, even this palace can't believe that Wanyan would do such a thing, it's really distressing!" Empress Xiao's attitude suddenly changed, and she looked compassionate, "Alas! Remembering the loyalty of the Lin family for several generations, for the sake of such a single seedling, the palace will ask her in front of everyone, but as long as she can shout half of the injustice, the palace and the emperor will be the master for her! ”
Everyone looked at Queen Xiao in surprise, not knowing what her idea was.
Only the pastoral song has been very indifferent, like a clay sculpture kneeling there motionless and silent, but if you look closely, you can find that there is a touch of sadness in those clear eyes.
"Lin Wanyan, this palace asks you, that day, because of jealousy and hatred, you pushed Princess Chen off the high platform, causing the fetus in her womb to be born prematurely?"
In the main hall, the air instantly froze, and everyone held their breath and stared, all wanting to hear what she would say!
Mu Yu raised her chin slightly, her eyes became clearer and clearer, and finally the sadness was suppressed in the bottom of her eyes: "That's right, everything is done by the sinner, the sinner is dissatisfied with the princess's favor alone, and she is pregnant with the prince's heir, and she committed a big crime in a moment of confusion, and she is willing to apologize with death!" She kowtowed to Lin Zhong sideways and said, "Grandpa, Wanyan knows that she is guilty, and she doesn't dare to call herself a descendant of the Lin family, grandpa should think that Wanyan died many years ago!" ”
Lin Zhong's thick eyebrows were deep, and he was full of doubts: "Wanyan, do you know what your confession means?" ”
"Grandpa, Wanyan knows, but Wanyan has already caused such a catastrophe, and it's too late to regret it! Wanyan is in love with His Royal Highness King Chen, so I don't want him to be difficult, as long as he can do well, Wanyan will be satisfied! Mu Yu looked at Lin Zhong sincerely, with pleading in his eyes, hoping that he could read the meaning of her words.
Last night, Queen Xiao unabashedly told the truth about Xi Ruoya framing her in the dungeon, but the truth shocked her and made her helpless.
It turned out that Xi Ruoya was not really pregnant, but took a fake pregnancy pill on the emperor's birthday in order to marry Situ Yu, and told a big lie to the world with Situ Yu. And to fulfill this lie, the best way is to find someone to be the scapegoat, Xi Ruoya initially chose Lu Ling'er, who knew that Lu Ling'er cut herself off early, but she became more and more liked by King Chen, so this scapegoat naturally became her.
No wonder Situ Yu is extremely indifferent whenever he mentions Xi Ruoya and the child in her womb, always saying that things are not what she imagined! I used to can't help but guess that he deliberately said this to make himself happy, but now I know that what he said is true!
However, she did not have time to rejoice. Because Empress Xiao told her this secret without any scruples, not to exonerate her, but to threaten her to confess. Because this incident was jointly committed by Situ Yu and Xi Ruoya, if it is exposed, neither of them can escape death, if it is not exposed, then it can only be her!
Therefore, when Empress Xiao said her purpose, Mu Yu agreed almost without thinking about it. In fact, Xi Ruoya had a miscarriage, although it was not her doing, she still felt very uneasy in her heart, she was not even sure that Situ Yu would believe her, because after all, it was his own flesh and blood, but she didn't expect things to be so surprising!
Now that Situ Yu is on an expedition, she may not know what happened in the capital, and she has been imprisoned, but fortunately, with Situ Yun's help, it may be time for her to take the opportunity to leave this non-existent place, follow her heart to thousands of miles away, and meet the person who thinks about it day and night!
"I remember telling you at the beginning, King Chen already has a 'Yuanxi County Lord' in his heart, you are afraid that you will not be happy if you marry, how did you answer me, you said that you don't mind, and said that happy things, such as people drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge, as long as you can accompany your loved one, watching him be happy, it is also a kind of happiness!
Do you know how much of a shock these words gave me at the time? Who knows, in less than half a year, you actually did such a thing, which really made me feel sad, I knew that today, I shouldn't have given you this marriage in the first place! ”
Emperor Shuntian's emotion pulled the thoughts of the pastoral rumor back. She lowered her eyes and sighed faintly: "Let the emperor smile, it's just a young and ignorant boast of Haikou, who has really experienced it, and only then does she know that emotional matters are the most difficult to control and cannot be controlled." But the sinner never regretted it, but was grateful to the emperor for his fulfillment, because the fault was not in marriage, but in the sinner's thoughts! ”
"Alas! If you had woken up earlier, you wouldn't have ended up where you are today! Now that the matter is clear, then ......"
"Father, slow down!" A clear voice interrupted Emperor Shuntian's words.
Situ Yun calmly stepped into the center of the hall and said loudly: "Father, there is another secret in this matter!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and they all looked at Situ Yun in surprise. Today's incident Situ Yun is already surprising, but not only did he come but also spoke, which was even more surprising!
And among the people, the most disturbing were Empress Xiao and Xi Bochang, they never expected that Situ Yun would be killed halfway. And Mu Yu also looked at him with some apprehension, not knowing what he was going to say!
"Yun'er?" Emperor Shuntian muttered in some surprise, "You have always ignored these mundane disputes, if you don't really know what is the secret?" ”
"Yes, King Yi has always been fascinated by flowers and plants, far away from the world, how can he think of joining in these bustles, isn't it disturbed by some short stream?" Empress Xiao deserves to be Queen Xiao, and she turned Situ Yun's unspoken words into gossip.
Situ Yun smiled faintly and replied respectfully: "Is it a gossip that Erchen doesn't know, Erchen only knows that human life is a matter of heaven, but if there is a little doubt, you must also figure it out, don't kill innocents indiscriminately!" ”
Seeing that he was so determined, Emperor Shuntian bowed his head and said, "Not bad! This Ruoya and Wanyan are Yu'er's beloved concubines, and now that he is on a journey for the country, I must not leave him with regrets, and let everyone come today to witness fairness! Yun'er, you can say what you have, right or wrong, you have your own judgment! ”
"Father, last night Erchen received a secret letter, which said that Princess Chen Xi Ruoya was not pregnant at all, and the pregnancy was due to her intention to marry the imperial brother, and the two of them deceived everyone in advance!"
"What?!"
"You, you!"
"How so?"
“……”
One stone startles a thousand waves!
