Mu Yihan got up without hesitation, asked someone to prepare a horse, and entered the palace to intercede for Ye Yun'er.

He promised Ye Yun'er that he would protect her thoroughly, even if he risked his life, he would definitely do what he said.

But when he asked to see him outside the imperial study, the emperor closed the door in the dormitory, only saying that he was not feeling well and needed to recuperate.

"Father-in-law Gu, I hope you will report it again, just say that this king has an emergency, if it is too late, I am afraid it will be too late."

Although Mu Yihan understood the emperor's thoughts, he was still unwilling to ask Father-in-law Gu over and over again.

Father-in-law Gu sighed and said helplessly: "It's not that our family doesn't want to help the prince, it's just ...... The emperor is indeed unwell and doesn't want to see anyone. ”

Gu Gonggong knows that the joints in this are not easy to say, so it is better not to say it explicitly, lest he become a sowing discord between the two and making others blame.

Mu Yihan took a deep breath, adjusted his complicated thoughts, thought about it for a while, and said: "Then trouble Father-in-law Gu, you go on another trip, just say that Ouyang Shizi's death is strange, and I dare to guarantee that it has nothing to do with Ye Yun'er and Miss Ye." Before the matter is clarified, if the emperor convicts Miss Ye of guilt, it is really not a matter of Mingjun's actions. ”

Father-in-law Gu hesitated, and finally said: "To tell the truth, Fourth Prince, if you let our family go in like this to spread the word, I'm afraid the emperor's determination will be even greater, and I wish I could send that girl to the guillotine earlier." ”

Mu Yihan suddenly realized, and finally felt a trace of taste from the other party's tone.

Co-authoring the emperor is not aimed at Ye Yun'er, Ye Yun'er is not pleasing to the eye, but it is about him?

Could it be that the emperor thought that Ye Yun'er relied on him to dare to kill Ouyang Xian without fear, thinking that he wanted to usurp the majesty and power of the emperor?

If he openly accuses the emperor again, then the emperor will inevitably be more convinced of this, and he will be more and more unable to swallow his breath.

Thinking of this, Mu Yihan's heart sank more and more.

So if the emperor is jealous of him, and he comes to intercede for Ye Yun'er in every possible way, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire and sprinkle salt on the emperor's wounds?

If he didn't plead, would he want to watch Ye Yun'er die......

Mu Yihan's deep eyes were surging like the sea, and suddenly, he clenched his palms and bowed down towards the emperor's bedroom.

He resolutely and loudly said inside: "Father, the son has something to say. If the father thinks that Miss Ye is fearless because of her son's ministers, and she dares to do anything wrong, then your father, you have misunderstood your sons! Erchen absolutely did not despise the imperial legal system, let alone usurp rudeness. The sons just want to assist their father and help you govern the world, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. If you can't trust your son, even if you demote your son to a commoner, your son will never complain! ”

These words came into the palace through the thin paper window, and the emperor, who was lying on the couch and eating the grapes that the concubine had picked up and fed to him, opened his eyes slightly.

On the slightly old face, a strange emotion flashed.

Mu Yihan was willing to be demoted to a commoner for the sake of Ye Yuner?

Could it be that Ye Yun'er is really so important to him?

Could it be that his wariness of Mu Yihan is purely superfluous......

Mu Yihan knelt outside the door, just quietly waiting for the emperor to speak.

There was a sound of footsteps, Ling Feng came up to him and said to him: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have just been reported that there has been another murder in the capital, and it is Shen Kuo, the son of the Lord of the Ministry of Shangshu, who died, and the death method is exactly the same as Ouyang Shizi!" ”

When Mu Yihan heard this, his heart was shocked, and thousands of thoughts came to him.

How could it be so coincidental that when Ye Yun'er was about to be beheaded, there was another case with the same modus operandi?

Could it be that someone deliberately helped Ye Yun'er?

There are still people who ignore Ye Yun'er's existence at all, and just follow their own plans and advance step by step unscrupulously......

Ling Feng continued: "In addition, a dart appeared next to the deceased, and a plum blossom was carved on the dart. ”

After a pause, Ling Feng continued to frown and said, "My subordinates have a hunch that Ouyang Shizi will also be next to him when he dies, so he suggested that Dali Siqing go and check." Sure enough, the same dart was also found in the car that Ouyang Shizi was riding in when he died. ”

"Obviously, it's the same person who committed the crime." Ling Feng categorically concluded, "And the purpose is clear, it is a premeditated murder." And this person is very good at kung fu, and he can kill people with one blow in the presence of everyone without noticing. ”

Mu Yihan listened, his dead heart rekindled again, and the light of hope was getting closer and closer.

He looked at Father-in-law Gu, ripped off the jade pendant on his waist and handed it to him casually, "Father-in-law is hard, please inform Father-in-law of these words said by Guard-Ling to the emperor." It is only said that now even Lord Geng of Dali Temple feels that there is something strange in this, and the murderer is someone else, so if Miss Ye is executed, I am afraid that the people will not be convinced. It's about our royal face, and we can't be sloppy. ”

Father-in-law Gu hesitated for a moment, stepped forward in the end, and took the jade pendant and stuffed it into his sleeve without a trace, while saying with a smile, "Our family is measured, and we know how to tell the emperor, so don't worry, just go back and wait for good news." ”

Father-in-law Gu went in as he spoke.

In order to alleviate the tension that seemed to be being persecuted in front of the emperor, Mu Yihan really got up and left the palace, but he couldn't let go and waited in front of the palace gate.

When he got the news and knew that the emperor had revoked the death sentence against Ye Yun'er, and instead asked Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the matter and catch the real culprit as soon as possible, it was as if he had cleared the clouds and saw the sun and the moon, his chest suddenly became clear, and the corners of his gloomy mouth finally curled up in a bright arc.

Although he didn't know who was the one who continued to commit the crime, he was grateful to him from the bottom of his heart.

It was that person who saved Ye Yun'er's life in time.

Ye Yun'er was in the prison, and she was inexplicably being sent a good meal. The abundance made her, who was used to eating white rice and steamed buns here, feel quite flattered.

She thought it was Mu Yihan or someone who deliberately ordered the jailers to send them so many delicious chickens, ducks, fish and meat to her, and even if she grabbed the chopsticks and couldn't wait to eat them, she would relieve the salivation she had been suffering for days.

But when she heard that this meal was a "severed head meal", and the jailer told her to "go on the road well, don't die without turning a blind eye", she immediately stuck in her throat and couldn't swallow it anymore, so she finally vomited all the food in her throat again.

Her eyes widened, she wanted to cry without tears, and asked the people outside over and over again, "Why do you want to condemn me and kill my head before the case is clear?" ”

"Where is the law of the king of the apocalypse, where is the reason of heaven, and where is justice?"

"I'm not convinced, I want to appeal......"

But no matter how much she shouted, there was no response from anyone, only her own echoes wandering back and forth in the obscure prison.

Ye Yun'er sat on the ground in a dejected manner, looked at the sky, and saw that it was almost noon, and it was time for her to "hit the road".

Thinking that she hadn't been reborn for a long time, she hadn't talked about love yet, and the great blueprint of her business had just started, and she was going to Huangquan with her life, how could she be willing?

Raising her red eyes, she glanced at the vents on top of the high wall, and suddenly made up her mind - she was going to escape!
