Chapter 68: Gu Xiqian is saved
A few days later, under the arrangement of the prison head, Gu Xiqian's condition slowly improved, and everyone was also curious about this situation, why was she tortured like this every day, but Gu Xiqian's situation was not as bad as imagined, and even got better and better.
Whenever they were discussing it, the head of the prison would try to fool him, after all, he also knew that if he was suspected, he would not escape responsibility.
But fortunately, this situation was not very long-lasting for him, and then, the emperor sent someone to the prison to lead the person out.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Gu Xiqian was guilty of blaspheming Tianwei and attempted to harm the son, and he was interrogated on the same day, and he was admired."
Seeing the soldiers take Gu Xiqian away, the head of the prison couldn't help but sigh, hoping that she would be fine, otherwise I don't know how the prince would make things difficult for him.
Seeing the soldiers take him away, Gu Xiqian was a little puzzled, so she asked, "Where are you taking me?" ”
"The emperor has decided to open the trial in person, and then see what else you have to quibble?" The father-in-law in the lead said.
Hearing that the emperor personally opened the trial, Gu Xiqian was a little surprised, although this was even beginning to be suspicious.
It didn't take long for Gu Xiqian to be taken to the main hall, the emperor was sitting on the throne, and Mo Xuanyin and the queen were still sitting on the side.
After bringing the people here, the rest of the unrelated people also knew each other and left.
Looking at the brocade and jade robes they were wearing, which contrasted with Gu Xiqian in tattered prison uniforms, it made her smile bitterly.
The emperor looked at Gu Xiqian condescendingly on the throne, and that kind of majesty made people tremble.
"Prisoner Gu Xiqian, you despise the power of heaven and want to harm the son, what crime should you be guilty of?" The emperor pointed at Gu Xiqian and said excitedly.
"If you want to add sin, why should you do it?" Gu Xiqian sneered.
The two of them asked this question at the beginning, which made Mo Xuanyin feel a little bad, so he said: "Father, this case is a little improper. ”
When the emperor heard this, his face changed, and even everyone present wondered, why would he say such a thing?
"Xuanyin, a woman is vicious and wants to harm you, why do you want to intercede for him?"
Mo Xuanyin looked at the emperor's expression a little strange, and there was no one else present, obviously wanting to convict Gu Xiqian through this interrogation.
However, what he said just now has already attracted their attention, and it is really suspicious that such a person who harms himself and helps the other party speak.
Realizing that he might have said the wrong thing, Mo Xuanyin sorted himself out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has no such intention, it's just that he was convicted on the basis of a scarecrow, it is inevitable to be hasty, if someone planted the blame, wouldn't the murderer always be at large?" ”
Seeing that what Mo Xuanyin said made some sense, everyone also pondered, and they all thought that according to Gu Xiqian's character, they would not act like this.
Paying attention to everyone's expressions, except for the emperor, everyone's reactions were within their expectations, which affirmed that the emperor might have something to do with this matter.
But what about the scarecrow found in her room? As far as I know, it is a kind of magic that can kill people for thousands of miles and kill people in invisible witchcraft, if there is something wrong with you, then isn't it looking for a needle in a haystack? Fortunately, the culprit was brought to justice before it caused a catastrophe, otherwise Yunnan would have lost its son. As the emperor spoke, his excited expression became a little sad.
At this time, the queen couldn't stand it anymore, and echoed: "Shizi, you are an adult, you should know that people's hearts are sinister, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable." ”
For a while, everyone pointed the finger at Gu Xiqian, and Mo Xuanyin was also a little stunned, so he had to step aside and sit down.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of magic tricks I have, this scarecrow was not made by me, this is someone's planting, and I have no reason to harm His Royal Highness, please let the emperor know." Gu Xiqian struggled and said.
"Smack!"
I saw the emperor's doctor take the case, and said with an angry face: "Don't think that I don't know, you just don't want to marry the prince, in order to avoid the holy decree in the future, that's why you have this idea, since you want to harm the prince, then I will let you taste the bitterness!" ”
Mo Xuanyin stood up, and the emperor was a little impatient, thinking that he would speak for Gu Xiqian again.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of this person's weakness, how about a slight punishment this time? First, it can be convincing, and it can also reflect the benevolence of the emperor's house, isn't it both? ”
Looking at Gu Xiqian behind him, he didn't have a way to exonerate her from responsibility, but let her suffer less, he could still do it.
The emperor hesitated for a moment, "Since this is the case, then I will leave it to you at your disposal, and I hope you will not be soft-hearted." ”
Understanding the meaning of the emperor's words, Mo Xuanyin walked in front of her: "Prisoner, you want to harm me, it can be seen that he is ruthless, let you be punished by the hands today, so that you can't do anything harmful to people, come here!" ”
I saw two soldiers come over with torture instruments and put her hand in the middle.
Gu Xiqian looked at Mo Xuanyin's eyes, only to see him sigh silently, and then turned his head.
Realizing that he was helping himself, Gu Xiqian also understood that he could not be exempted from responsibility this time, so he could only bear it.
"I didn't expect the prince to look at me like this, and I also saw you clearly, so I cursed..."
Before the words were finished, I saw the soldiers on both sides pull hard, and a burst of heart-rending screams spread, and the queen who watched it also didn't look over, and the emperor lowered his head.
Mo Xuanyin looked at the screaming Gu Xiqian, his heart was like a knife, but now he can't show it, because here, the queen and the emperor are looking at him.
After a while, Gu Xiqian fainted in pain, and just when the emperor was about to continue the punishment, Mo Xuanyin stood up, "Your Majesty, now that the person has fainted, the punishment is meaningless, why don't you take it to prison and retry it on another day?" ”
The emperor looked at the place where Gu Xiqian fell, and blood began to flow out of the wound, so he waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to take it down.
After watching the soldiers take people out of the hall, Mo Xuanyin breathed a sigh of relief, and the emperor left a little impatiently, but when he left, he also counted the benevolence of Mo Xuanyin's woman, and Mo Xuanyin had to respond casually and left the hall.
The soldiers took Gu Xiqian back to the cell, and the jailer on the side couldn't help but laugh when they looked at the wound on her hand.
"I really didn't expect that the case tried by the Holy Lord was not decided on the spot."
"Yes, if it were me, I would want to die, and I would have to suffer like this."
When the head of the prison on the side saw it, he immediately went over to break them up, and then threw a bag of things to Gu Xiqian, "Miss Gu, this is the herb arranged by His Royal Highness the Prince, and it is better to apply it on it quickly." ”
Gu Xiqian had seen the herbs and put them on her hands, and suddenly a piercing pain spread from her hands to her heart, making her snort a few times, but seeing that the wound seemed to have improved, she couldn't help but leave tears anymore.
The warden saw that she had applied the medicine and turned to leave.
She lay on the haystack, looked at the window in her cell, and began to think about her future, but she didn't know if she had a future.
However, she knew that Mo Xuanyin was working hard for herself, and if she couldn't get through it, it would be in vain for him.
At night, watching his people heal themselves also strengthened her thoughts......
On the other hand, Mo Xuanyin also began to investigate the matter of Gu Xiqian's framing, but he was still distressed by no clues.
A few days later, just when he was distressed, he suddenly heard the news that his subordinates had brought back.
"Shizi, we found out that that night, it was a maid who shouted outside that attracted people, and then when everyone went in to search, they found the scarecrow inside."
The news from his subordinates made Mo Xuanyin immediately understand the matter, so he set off to the Gu Mansion to investigate.
According to the news of the maid there, at that time, there was a maid named Jinzhu who was shouting outside Gu Xiqian's door, so she attracted people over.
Following this news, Mo Xuanyin learned that this Jinzhu was a person who had just arrived, and even she had worked as a maid in the Lin family before, which attracted his attention at this time.
"Could it be that the Lin family deliberately found someone to frame Gu Xiqian?"
After thinking about it for a while, Mo Xuanyin still decided to bring people over first.
When Jinzhu saw Mo Xuanyin, he still looked ignorant, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Prince wants to do with me?" ”
Seeing her pretending to be innocent, Mo Xuanyin also asked directly to the point: "That night, were you yelling at the door of Gu Xiqian's room?" ”
"Yes, because at that time I found a scarecrow in the room with the eight characters written on it by His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, and I was terrified for a while..."
Just as she was thinking about continuing, Mo Xuanyin interrupted her: "I know that you have worked as a maid in the Lin Mansion before, I don't know why you came to the Gu Mansion, and I also found out that your hometown is in a foreign country, according to your opinion, you know this kind of scarecrow harmful witchcraft, or someone instructed you to do this, if you say it, I can save you from death." ”
Jinzhu saw Mo Xuanyin say this, and immediately recognized it, "His Royal Highness, spare your life, I have no choice but to do it." ”
"In that case, let's explain the matter."
Jinzhu said the matter of the Lin family, but he knew all these things to Mo Xuanyin, but what shocked her the most was that this matter actually had something to do with the emperor.
After explaining the matter, Mo Xuanyin understood that her target was only Gu Xiqian, and now that she was in prison, and she had bought the prison head, her safety could be guaranteed.
However, the most troublesome thing for him, the emperor actually had something to do with this matter, at this time, he thought of a detail, that night, in addition to the Gu Mansion's family members came for the first time, the fastest to come behind was actually the soldiers in the palace, which made him suspect that this matter was like a plan.
