Chu Ling knew that if he ordered Mo Huayuan to be driven away for the crimes of framing Wei Xueying, setting fire to the cold palace, etc., these ministers would naturally have objections, and their impression of Wei Xueying would be even worse, and they would also think that these were all because of Wei Xueying, and Wei Xueying would be burdened with a trumped-up accusation.

Originally, he just wanted to use this matter to drive Mo Huayuan away, but he didn't want the matter to be so complicated here, but fortunately, Mo Huayuan confessed and was not innocent.

As long as Mo Huayuan is not innocent, he has enough confidence to make any decision, even if he can't be sent back to the Muyun Clan, this Mo Huayuan doesn't want to show off his power in the palace, and he will eventually take into account her identity and tolerate and humble her in every way.

When the people saw this, they didn't say much.

"Thank the emperor, the concubines thank the emperor Longen." Mo Hua took a deep breath and said heavily to Chu Ling, the tiredness that could not be hidden in his voice.

Chu Ling waved his hand, obviously with displeasure: "Go down!" ”

Mo Huayuan nodded, and then got up.

Sandalwood also got up, and her face changed to a look of sincere fear, which had not yet been transformed from the dramatic change.

Mo Huayuan turned to leave, and Sandalwood also turned to leave.

It wasn't until the two of them walked out of the main hall that Chu Ling looked at Duanmu Qing, and asked in an extremely cold voice: "Duanmu National Master, since all this has been admitted by Nanhou, and the evidence you submitted also points to Sandalwood, it means that this matter was indeed done by Nanhou, do you have any objections?" ”

Duanmuqing shook his head, his constantly flickering eyes were mixed with helplessness, and he seemed to have no trace of emotion: "The minister has no objections, and the minister doesn't dare to have it." The implication was that their princess had done these things, and the princess had already admitted that he could not let go of any more bite.

And it is a fact that their princess has done these things, and where does he dare to disagree, even if he shouts a word of grievance.

Chu Ling became serious, his eyes exuded coldness, and he asked in a soft tone, "Duanmu National Master, what do you mean about this matter?" ”

Duanmuqing's expression flashed a hint of gloom, he thought for a while, and then saluted deeply to Chu Ling: "Your Majesty, Nanhou Niangniang is at fault in this matter, but the minister implores the emperor to bypass Nanhou Niangniang's life, and don't send Nanhou Niangniang back to the Muyun clan, once she is sent back, Nanhou Niangniang will not be able to marry in this life, and she will be discriminated against by the people, and it will affect the harmony and friendship between the two countries." ”

He directly said the current benefits, anyway, Mo Huayuan had already admitted these things, and what he wanted to guarantee now was that she would not be sent back to the Muyun Clan:

"Your Majesty, although what Nanhou Niangniang did was hateful, it was not an unforgivable thing, and Nanhou Niangniang said that the death of the queen had nothing to do with her, so she did not commit the crime of murder, and asked the emperor to investigate it again. If you can give Nanhou Niangniang a way to live, I believe that the king of my country will also be grateful to thank the emperor for his wise choice. ”

"Please think twice, the minister knows that the emperor is special, but please ask the emperor to focus on the overall situation." At this time, a minister took the lead in standing up and admonishing Chu Ling.

Seeing this, the rest of the ministers also stood up one after another, asking Chu Ling to open up on this matter, not to worry about this, but to consider the friendship between the two countries.

Chu Ling was surprised, with a decent smile on her face, but there was hidden anger in her eyes.

Wei Xueying was indeed not dead, her fake death in the palace was indeed not done by Mo Huayuan, he had already guessed that it was Wei Xueying's plan to escape from the palace.

But the child in the belly of the heart of the dream is indeed caused by Mo Huayuan, although he doesn't like the heart of the dream very much, but after all, it is his blood and bones, and the crime of poisoning the royal heir is big enough.

Moreover, Li Yunluo, who was also harmed by Mo Huayuan, gave Wei Xueying the crime to death, and prevented their people from saving Li Yunluo, these crimes are so serious, how can they be misdemeanors?

Therefore, Chu Ling ignored the advice of the ministers, and said coldly: "Even if the fire in the cold palace has nothing to do with Nanhou, but the child in Concubine Meng's belly was poisoned by her, if this crime is not added, it will be difficult to convince the public." After a pause, he added, "And, Duanmu Guoshi, have you forgotten the bet you made with me?" ”

Because he made a bet with Duanmuqing before, if the evidence is true, Mo Huayuan will willingly return to the Muyun clan, if it is not true, then Mo Huayuan can stay.

Now that the evidence is true, Mo Huayuan is about to leave, but Duanmuqing actually gave him another way and raised this problem again.

No wonder, Duanmuqing asked for a public trial of this matter before, and in front of so many people, it turned out that it was this wishful thinking.

These ministers will only take into account the situation in the court, and if it is good for them, they will support it, and if it hurts them, they will not support it.

And Duanmuqing took advantage of this.

Duanmu Qing both openly and secretly showed that he was powerful in setting off Mo Huayuan, and if he was sent back, the consequences would also be revealed, if he was a Ming Jun who took care of the overall situation, he would naturally not send Mo Huayuan back, but stay, not caring about this matter.

But do you really want him not to care? There was a strange light in his eyes, and his face was full of smiles, and the smile was surprising and strange.

Duanmuqing smiled faintly, and said as if unintentionally: "Your Majesty, when did the minister make a bet with you?" The implication is that the bet is invalid.

Chu Ling concealed the surprise in her eyes, and said in her heart: "Okay.... Good.... Good. He said yes three times in a row, and a blood-red light of great displeasure flashed in the depths of his long narrow eyes.

is a good Duanmuqing, I thought he would be such a righteous person, but he didn't want to be such a scoundrel and use it in the palace.

Everyone looked at Chu Ling and Duanmuqing in confusion, and they didn't know what the two of them were blocking, one said yes, the other said no, this .....

The king can't lie, but Duanmuqing shouldn't dare to lie? So what's going on?

So they were puzzled and at a loss.

"I've decided." Chu Ling's two extremely sharp eyes were withdrawn from Duanmu Qing's body, the gloomy aura on his body was dispersed, and he said in a profound tone:

"The queen of the south poisoned the prince to death in the palace, and instigated people to do witchcraft, resulting in the innocent death of the palace maid Li Yunluo, which is a heinous crime. Thinking of the Muyun clan and the princess, it is related to the friendship between the two countries, this capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime is inescapable, I originally wanted to return to the Muyun clan, but now I have withdrawn this order, and removed Mo Huayuan from the title of Nanhou and reduced it to a nobleman. ”

After Chu Ling finished saying this punishment, everyone was shocked, this Mo Huayuan was not the queen of the south, but a nobleman, and the identity of this nobleman was greatly reduced.

But the sins that Chu Ling said are indeed true, killing the prince and the palace maid, even if the identities are different, but the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the people, and not killing and sending the Muyun clan is already the greatest kindness, but it is a debasement of identity and status, which is already the greatest tolerance.

"Thank you for your grace." Duanmuqing was the first to speak, he elongated his voice, his lips involuntarily hooked slightly, and smiled secretly.
