"I know you're going to ask that." He casually picked up a book by his side, "This is your third brother's table on this case." Check it out! ”

I took the book, and I couldn't help but feel uneasy, and opened it to read. However, if you don't look at it, you will be shocked into a cold sweat when you look at it. Because in Ji Xian's table, even my mother and Hong Xin were involved. And Merlin is listed as the main culprit and the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Sister Wang," said King Wu, "upon receipt of this form, I immediately issued an edict to bring your mother, Madame Yin, and sent Miss Hong Xin to the Kingdom of Deng. But your good sister Merlene, she pleaded guilty to all the accusations. Now even I can't exonerate her. ”

I looked down at the section on Merlin in the table. It is said that Mei Lin privately contacted Li Hou Gong's father and son, Xu Gai and other old ministers of Yin Shang who were dissatisfied with the Zhou State through Princess Chongxi and other teachers and students of the women's college, and jointly planned the assassination of King Wu.

According to the table, all seven captured Assassins testified. And all the main culprits confessed. In addition, he also accused Mei Lin of instigating Yin Hong's sisters and brothers to plot to seize Licheng and give advice to them.

In the above table, not only my mother and Hong Xin are mentioned, but also dozens of courtiers and generals are among them. If I hadn't fought with Jiang Shang, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to escape the suspicion of shielding.

I looked up at King Wu, who was also looking at me. I suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

"Brother Wang," I said, "how can Merlin plan this matter when she has no hands or feet, and she stays in the house all day?" ”

King Wu replied: "The accusations in the table do not need to be done with hands and feet. ”

"Brother Wang, you hand over this matter to Ji Xian to investigate. Don't you know what's going on with him? ”

King Wu looked displeased, "Nezha, why don't I know what's going on with him?" I have lived with Ji Xian for forty-one years. Am I going to know him better than you do? ”

I'm speechless.

"I know very well," said King Wu, "that you have a prejudice against Ji Xian, and suspect that he has bent your friend into a trick. Now I'll give you a chance. I will allow you to return to Hokyo to visit Mei Lin. If she reverses her confession, as long as you get her statement back, I can send another person to retry the case. ”

I seemed to see a glimmer of hope and hurriedly kowtowed. "Sister Wang thanked Brother Wang."

I then flew back to Hokyo and went straight to the Imperial Prison to meet the Great Priest Kou Jixian. I had no intention of talking nonsense with him, and directly showed the edict of King Wu. Ji Xian sneered, and then ordered his subordinates to take me to the cell where Mei Lin was being held.

The cell was dark and damp. Merlin's mutilated body collapsed on the straw mat, her face very haggard. She saw me, "Nezha, are you here?" ”

I burst into tears, "Cousin, what the hell is going on?" ”

She lifted her prosthetic hand and wiped the tears from my face, and instead smiled on her face. "Good sister, what is there to be sad about?"

"How can you get along in a place like this?"

She replied softly, "I am guilty of a capital crime, and I will not stay here for long." ”

"They've tortured you, haven't they?" I asked.

She smiled and shook her head, "With a body like mine, who would dare to torture me?" Check it out if you don't believe it. ”

"Then why did you plead guilty to those charges?"

"What if I don't admit it?" She asked rhetorically, "Isn't that what they want?" ”

What's wrong with her?

I said, "I'm from the king of Zhou, and he said that as long as you overturn your original confession and write a statement." He will be re-examined. ”

"So what?" She looked at me, "My silly sister." Do you really think that if you were tried by another person, the result would be different? No, it won't. Since my father's death six years ago, I have been living in exile. Fortunately, Li Hou took him in, but in the end, he ended up losing all his brothers and sisters. ”

"Although my father was harmed by King Shou, but as a relative of the Yin Shang clan, after the first king, seeing that the Yin Shang Mansion was about to fall, what face did he have to live in the world? Now that someone is willing to take my worthless little life in order to fulfill his fame, it would be good for him to be fulfilled. ”

"Merlin!" I grabbed her by the shoulders and said, "Look me in the eye and tell me!" Did you really do it? ”

Merlin looked at me, "What? ”

"What did you confess?"

"Nope!" She said.

"Then why don't you plead?" I asked, "I can save you!" ”

She put her prosthetic hand on my arm and tried to pull me away. "I don't need you to save me. Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. I only do what I think I should do. ”

"Why are you so stubborn?"

"Why not?" She asked rhetorically, "Even if you could get me out of here, would you change my daily life of relying on others for service?" Can it change my fate of facing the ruin of the country and the destruction of my family, and I am destined to be lonely for a lifetime? ”

I don't know what to say.

"Nezha," Merlin said, "please. ”

"Sister, please speak!"

"I know that if you commit a serious crime, you will be punished before you die. Please ask my sister to intercede with King Zhou and don't let me be humiliated in public. She said, "Also, when I leave, I hope my sister can give me a ride." ”

"Okay!" I promised to come down, leave the prison, and return to Luoyi.

I walked into the palace of King Wu, and my steps were heavy.

When I met King Wu, I knelt down.

King Wu looked at me, "Sister Wang, are you back so soon?" What does your cousin say? ”

I replied: "She denied all the charges, but refused to write the petition." ”

The Martial King frowned, "Why is that?" ”

"Probably because she lost hope in life."

King Wu's face sank, "What about me?" ”

While he was talking, an internal official suddenly came to report: "Mrs. Yi Ji is in labor today, and Lord Situ respectfully asks the king to send an imperial doctor." ”

Yes? I hurriedly got up and said goodbye to King Wu. I couldn't care about Mei Lin anymore, and hurriedly ran towards Ji Gao's mansion.

When I arrived at Ji Gao's mansion, I was stopped outside the door of Yi Congshan's delivery room. I only heard Yi Congshan's miserable shouts inside. The imperial doctor went in and out, in a hurry.

I don't know how long it took, but I finally heard the baby's cry. Then I heard someone say hello to Ji Gao. Yi Congshan gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.

I entered the inner room and came to the edge of Yi Congshan's bed. I saw that she was covered in sweat and her face was very pale. There was also a large blood stain under the short body.

"Imperial Doctor, why is her face so white?"

"Returning to Her Royal Highness the Princess," replied the Imperial Doctor, "Madame Yi Ji has lost both legs and has difficulty giving birth. In addition, they are twins, so they have a lot of bleeding and need to recuperate for a period of time before they can recover. ”

I sat down, took Yi Congshan's hand, and said a few words with her. She asked about Merlin instead.

"Sister, will Merlin have anything to do this time?"

"Is there more than anything?" I was angry, "Brother Wang wants to kill her!" ”

Yi Congshan didn't react, her hand slowly slipped from my hand, and her breath became weaker and weaker.

I looked down and saw that the blood had stained her sheets red through her quilt.

"Imperial Doctor!" I hurriedly shouted.

The Imperial Doctor, Ji Gao and others hurriedly came to the front.

"Oops! Massive hemorrhage! ”
