Chapter 105: Death Penalty Together
"Dare to ask Wu Lao, where does this venom come from? Why are you so slow to detoxify this poison? ”
"Answer: Your Majesty, this is from the border area of the Yin Kingdom, and it is a land. This place is full of snakes, and this venom is extracted from the saliva of the snake, although it is highly poisonous, but the time to penetrate the human body is extremely slow, so it gives the old man enough time to relieve the poison for Lan Cainu. However, whether Lan Cai Nu can survive from it can only depend on Lan Cai Nu's own creation. ”
When the words fell, Yi Zhixing's eyes flashed with a moment of anxiety, but this anxiety was fleeting, and he almost couldn't stay at the bottom of his eyes. Soon, there was Yun Tao's shout and the exclamations of many palace maids.
"Your Majesty! Ayara is the one who is born in the earth! She is the only one in our palace, if she hadn't murdered Lan Cainu, who would have been able to easily get this poison! Now that the situation is clear, I hope Your Majesty can let us go, we are innocent! ”
Yun Tao's cry instantly caused a group of palace maids next to her to echo, but seeing them pleading weakly one by one, it was as if they had suddenly determined the truth of the matter.
"Your Majesty! I hope you will spare us innocent people! We are innocent! From the beginning to the end, there was only one Ayara! ”
Since this venom came from the snake, everyone completely believed Yun Tao's identification, and they couldn't bear the torment of their bodies, and just wanted to find the real culprit as soon as possible and escape from the current predicament.
Yi Zhixing stared at Ayaluo, who was shocked by everyone's response, and then asked coldly: "Ayaluo, is what everyone said true?" ”
At this moment, the Son of Heaven can still ask this question, which proves that he did not completely put his suspicions on Ayara like the rest of the people, after all, sometimes the truth is buried in a deeper place, especially in this palace, slander is more common, not to mention that there are many doubts in this matter now, I believe that no matter how stupid the murderer is, it is impossible to leave the venom in his residence, is this not clear and self-defeating? However, the human and physical evidence is indeed pointing to Ayaluo now, and Yi Zhixing will not let go of the suspicious her because of his own suspicions.
Under the cold gaze of everyone, Aya Luo showed extreme panic and uneasiness, but saw her shaking her head desperately, her wide eyes staring at the Son of Heaven in front of her, as if begging for his trust.
Yi Zhixing's gaze blended with the person in front of him, not because he was influenced by the person in front of him at this time, but purely because Yi Zhixing's doubts were always scattered, even at this time when the truth seemed to be revealed.
"Your Majesty! Aya Luo was really wronged! Although Aya Luo was born in the Poison Land, she is by no means the owner of this bottle of Poison! Ayara didn't have any reason to hurt Rancai at all! Ayaluo is just an ordinary little palace maid, how dare she have intentions that she shouldn't have! ”
The woman's voice was hoarse, and tears welled up and rolled down, unable to contain this indignant situation.
Yun Tao on the side continued to refute: "Who can it be if it's not you?" Now that the human and material evidence are here, your cunning has long lost any meaning! Why don't you tell the truth quickly, maybe Your Majesty is magnanimous and can spare your family's life! You'd better not be ignorant, for your virtue will be damned! ”
When Yun Tao said this, Yi Zhixing's afterglow had stayed on her body for a moment, somehow, Yun Tao's words and deeds in his eyes really seemed to be very close to the relationship, since he wanted to clear the relationship, it proved that she must have a deep or shallow relationship with this matter, at least after the arson case happened, the Son of Heaven had suspected the intentions of this little palace maid.
"There are no slaves at all! Slaves don't have any! Your Majesty, please trust the slaves! Believe in the slaves! ”
Ayara's tears rained down, and at this time she could no longer care about the pain in her body, and her eyes could only hold the longing for truth.
Before the Son of Heaven could speak, the palace maids on the side actually started a fire again.
"Yun Tao is right, who else can you be? On weekdays, you look at your duty as an honest person, maybe you are a person who will not do evil, but you don't want to know people, faces, and hearts, you really did such a deceitful act! Not only did they frame Lan Cainu, but they even dragged us into the water together, look at the people who fell first on your side, they are friends with you day and night, but now they have died tragically because of your evil deeds and concealment, aren't you afraid that they will come to ask for your life when you dream back in the middle of the night! ”
The Son of Heaven could not be clearer that the reason for the sudden excitement of this group of palace maids was only because they were afraid that the fate of the group of people who would die first would befall them, and they only wanted to understand this incident as soon as possible, and they did not want their lives to be implicated in the evil deeds of others, which was understandable.
However, things often turn out like unpredictable situations, and just as Yi Zhixing is torn between trusting his instincts or witnesses and physical evidence, Asara makes an unexpected move.
"Your Majesty! Slaves believe in your justice! I believe in your dedication to the truth! The real murderer of Lan Cai Nu is definitely someone else! The slave couldn't be more innocent! Today, the slaves and maids are really saddened by the people who get along all day long! The slave and the maid know that no one now refuses to believe in the slave and the maid, and the human and material evidence is here, what else can the slave and the maid say? But the slave will never admit that the slave has never done something! There is no shame at all for such a thing as a slave and maid! In order to wash away the grievances, the slave can only die today! I only hope that Your Majesty can investigate the real culprit of the matter after the death of the slave and maid, and it can be regarded as the soul of the slave and maid in heaven! ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw the tearful Ayara on the side put on a stoic and unyielding appearance, and before others came to their senses, there was a turbulent blood flowing down from his mouth, Ayara bit his tongue and committed suicide, and then after the snort was completely denied, he still saw his eyes slammed, hideous but stubborn.
Hoping for this, everyone was shocked.
The sudden scene was indeed beyond the expectations of the Son of Heaven, but because of this, he became more and more sure of the intuition from the bottom of his heart. He slowly moved a ray of afterglow to Yun Tao on the side, and he could observe that Yun Tao's expression undoubtedly showed surprise and panic, and there seemed to be a certain sense of horror and anxiety mixed in it.
At this moment, an exclamation came from behind.
"Ah......h
Looking back, the people who greeted him were the two concubines and servants of Concubine Wen who the Son of Heaven had just ordered Yan Qi to invite. Mo Xiru Shicai took in the details of Ayaluo's death, and what was surging in his eyes at this moment was another emotion other than horror, which was the same anxiety as Yun Tao, and there was some kind of element that was close to self-blame, which Yi Zhixing captured sharply.
At this point, in the heart of the Son of Heaven, doubts became more and more entangled, and his suspicion of the real murderer behind the scenes once again fell into a bottleneck.
Of course, he didn't show his inner fluctuations to the outside, and he was still as gentle as ever to Mo Xiru.
"Concubine Wen, I'm sorry to invite you here again. But now you should have seen that Ayara committed suicide in fear of sin, and the human and physical evidence also pointed to her at the same time, I thought that you, as the master of this traitor, should know the truth as soon as possible, so I invited you here. ”
In this process, Yi Zhixing's gaze always wandered to the corners of Mo Xiru's white face, although the surface was gentle, but secretly he was carefully looking at the clues that Mo Xiru might leak.
But seeing that Mo Xiru was stunned at first, she immediately asked with all kinds of doubts: "Your Majesty, should you ...... Was it really Ayara's doing? You...... Are you sure you've got the truth out of the matter? Don't ...... Falsely accused innocent people......"
"Innocent people? According to what Concubine Wen saw, is there someone else behind this? ”
When the words fell, a wisp of anxiety regenerated between Yun Tao's eyebrows, and this anxiety was easily captured in the bottom of Yi Zhixing's eyes. But now Mo Xiru was inexplicably in a hurry, and hurriedly excused his words and deeds: "No! That's not what concubines mean...... The concubine is just afraid of Ayara's innocent and tragic death, and now that the matter has come to light, then Your Majesty can rest assured......"
As she spoke, Mo Xiru unconsciously lowered her head, a tear had fallen in the shadow under her feet, Yi Zhixing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was more and more confused but more and more clearly examining the person in front of him.
"Yes, I can indeed feel at ease, after all, the person who hurt Lan Cai woman should indeed be cut with a thousand knives, I only hate that I can't kill her, and now she is afraid of crime and suicide is cheap for her. However, this traitor is so cunning that she swore before she died that she herself was by no means the real murderer, and I continued to investigate in detail, according to me, this is clearly her deliberately diverting everyone's attention, thinking that this will make me believe in her innocence, there is such an easy thing in this world. ”
Yi Zhixing said sarcastically, it seemed like he was ridiculing Ayaluo's suicide, but in fact, the rest of the light had already been circling between Yun Tao and Mo Xiru. I saw that the two of them had different expressions, but they were often different, maybe I thought that Yi Zhixing would let the matter end, Yun Tao's ease and the demeanor of taking a deep breath were all exposed to the eyes of the Son of Heaven, but Concubine Wen's tears were still dripping in the shadows.
In the end, Yi Zhixing still refused to relax his vigilance against these two people. After all, he was born in the palace, grew up in the palace, and has seen a lot of slander, and he knows that some things often can't be judged on the surface, not to mention that Yi Zhixing's mother has also experienced this kind of slander, because Yi Zhixing is even more taboo about such incidents.
After all, Ayara was born in the land of the stinger, and the land is the border area, and there are very few people who go to the palace, but it is often this kind of 'outlier' people, such 'out of place' people are most likely to cause the slander of the sinister, because they are so special that as long as they pinch their particularity, they can easily pour dirty water on their bodies, and what I see now is precisely because there are people behind them who are secretly making trouble.
Mo Xiru didn't mention it for the time being, at least this Yun Tao really couldn't escape the involvement. How can anything sinister happen to her? This is too much of a coincidence. Besides, the Son of Heaven had no doubts about her last time, but at that time, in order to calm down the incident as soon as possible, he chose to turn a blind eye and was too lazy to put more effort into the affairs of the woman's family. However, this time it was about Lan Cainu's life, in Yi Zhixing's subconscious, this had long become an intolerable thing, even if he had a delusion because of his love today, he did not hesitate to kill all the people involved in this matter.
Just when the group of palace maids thought that tonight's matter was about to end, an order from the Son of Heaven immediately shocked everyone present, especially Yun Tao, who was relieved.
"Those who dare to hurt Lan Cai Girl, I will not let it go easily, whether it is a participant or a person who does not report it, I will never tolerate it. Yan Qi, bring down Yun Tao, who has been unwilling to confess for a long time, and execute him on the spot! ”
When these words fell, Yun Tao's face immediately turned pale, she couldn't believe that the Son of Heaven suddenly pointed the finger at herself, it was clear that this person resolutely thought that Ayaluo was committing suicide in fear of sin at the last moment!
"Your Majesty! The slave has already confessed! ”
No matter how Yun Tao argued, Yi Zhixing's cold posture was as severe as ever, and he insisted even more firmly: "Kill her." ”
