A group of carriages and horses passed through the south gate smoothly, all the way unobstructed, until they came to the vicinity of Dali Temple, the surroundings gradually became a lot of congestion.

Many people hurried in the direction of Dali Temple:

"It's all this time, and the Dali Temple should start the trial."

"It's early, let you hurry up, you're still grinding!"

"It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, we can't get in, so we're just listening to the news outside......"

“……”

There are many people surrounded by three layers of people in the door of Dali Temple, although they can't enter, they still stretch their necks, or look, or discuss.

Old Lady Li and his entourage naturally noticed the movement at the gate of Dali Temple, Old Lady Li glanced at it casually, and Duanmujun, who was riding a horse parallel to him, explained: "Grandfather, the Yang family of the former Qingyuan Bofu intended to rebel, and today is the trial of the three divisions. ”

The rebellion of the Yang family has been announced to the world, which has shocked the people of the world, and of course the old lady Li, Li Chuanying and Li Chuanting's father and son have also heard about it.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Old Lady Li's mouth, "It's just for this little bit of caution of the Yang family, Dasheng has changed." ”

The reason why Dasheng has embarked on a wrong path in the past nineteen years is that it originated from the Yang family.

When he heard about the beginning and end of the Yang family's rebellion, Mrs. Li stayed awake all night, and couldn't help but think, if the Yang family had not provoked Mu Jianming to make trouble, if Emperor Chongming had lived peacefully to the present, would Dasheng be a different situation, and would his two sons, daughters and sons-in-law not die young......

However, there are not so many ifs in this world, what has happened cannot be changed, and there is no turning back, all they can do for the living is to seek justice for those who died unjustly, and they have to continue to go down.

Li Tingyou sneered on the side: "Grandfather, that's to seek the country, it's not 'careful thinking'." "It should be said that the Yang family's heart is really big enough!

When his grandson said this, Mrs. Li came back to her senses. He just sighed for a moment, and he would not indulge in that kind of meaningless assumption.

Mrs. Li treats his granddaughter very kindly, and when he deals with his grandson, his subordinates are not merciless at all.

"Smack!"

He raised his hand and slapped Li Tingyou's head with a palm, and scolded: "It's not big or small!" ”

Li Tingyou touched his head in a gloomy manner, in front of his grandfather, he was less pretentious in front of outsiders on weekdays, and more vivid.

Duanmu Fei didn't sympathize with him at all, and laughed out loud.

Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and her gaze stopped on the other party for a moment.

Diagonally opposite the Dali Temple, there was an ordinary green canopy carriage, and Zhong Yu, who was wearing a willow-colored gown, got off the carriage with the support of the maid.

Zhong Yu didn't keep his soul and didn't notice Duanmu Fei at all.

The other onlookers were all stopped outside the gate of Dali Temple, but Zhong Yu was different, and after checking her identity, the yacha led her into the gate.

"Mr. Zhong, please come here." Yacha was very polite to Zhong Yu and led him into the court.

Dali Temple got the advice of Duanmu Xian, the first assistant, in advance, and allowed Zhong Yu to come to the court to hear the trial, and the reason why Duanmu Xian was willing to bother so much was naturally because of Duanmu Fei.

Zhong Yu thanked the yacha for his heart, his mood was extremely complicated, and he always had a trace of expectation and luck in his heart.

Dali Temple public hall, idlers are exempted, Zhong Yu can come to hear the trial is already because Duanmu Xian made an exception, she is a woman, and she has no fate, so she can only stand aside to listen to the trial.

At that time, Dali Temple was promoted on time, and the case was tried by Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the atmosphere was particularly solemn and solemn.

Sitting in the center is the presiding judge Dali Siqing.

After Dali Siqing and the other two adults saw the ceremony, they didn't say anything, and immediately knocked on the shocking wood, and ordered with a majestic expression: "Take a criminal to the court!" ”

In the loud "mighty voice" of the yacha, the Fu family was quickly escorted up by several yacha, and Fu Yingxuan was also among them.

Fu Yingxuan was wearing a white prison suit, her hair was messy, and her expression was panicked, as if half of her three souls and seven spirits had been lost.

In just a few days, she had lost a lot of weight, and there were several piercing bruises and scratches on her face and neck, making her look like a beggar girl begging on the street.

"Sir!" Fu Yingxuan didn't expect Zhong Yu to be here at all, her eyes widened slightly.

Once, Fu Yingxuan thought that the more than two years she spent in the meditation nunnery were the hardest days in her life, and during that time, she was worse off than dead, until she went to prison a few days ago, she didn't know what was really worse than death, and what was hell on earth.

The cells in the prison department were dirty, smelly, and dark, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night, and there was nothing in the cells, no beds, no tables, chairs, and no utensils...... Only dry straw could be used as a straw mat to spread the floor, and everyone had to share a bucket, and the indescribable smell was disgusting.

The Fu family was raided, and Fu Yingxuan, her mother, aunt, and several sisters-in-law and nieces were all locked up in the same cell.

These relatives who used to be her closest relatives now hate her, beat her, scold her, and they want to eat her alive.

At the beginning, Fu Yingxuan was still expecting Yang Xuyao to come to save her, save her from this desperate place, and save her from this nightmare, however, day by day, night by night, Yang Xuyao never appeared.

In the disappointment of day by day, she was afraid.

She never knew that noble ladies like her mother and aunt could be rude and barbaric to such an extent, not only humiliating and belittling her with those foul words every day, but also punching and kicking her at every turn.

No matter how much she pleaded and cried, they were not moved in the slightest, and the guards in the cell only pretended not to see or hear anything.

There are more and more scars on Fu Yingxuan's face and body, and she is becoming more and more afraid.

She was afraid that she would be beaten to death by them in her cell, and she was afraid that she would be convicted of treason, and then she would be sentenced to be executed and beheaded in a different place.

She is not yet in her twentieth year, and she doesn't want to die yet!

These days, Fu Yingxuan didn't know what to do, and she didn't know who else could help her except Yang Xuyao, until she saw Zhong Yu standing in the public court.

"Sir, help me!"

Fu Yingxuan's death-like eyes lit two clusters of flames, and she excitedly asked Zhong Yu for help.

At this moment, for Fu Yingxuan, Zhong Yu is equivalent to a life-saving straw and her only hope.

"Sir, I am innocent, I am really right, you save me! Gotta save me! Fu Yingxuan shouted loudly regardless of it, "Sir, it was the pair of sisters of the Duanmu family who harmed me." ”

"Sir, you have always known me, how could I rebel!"

"Sir, only you can save me!"

Fu Yingxuan shouted hoarsely, her slender body trembled like a delicate flower in the wind and rain, and two lines of tears slipped down her wet eyes, which was pitiful.

"Yingxuan!" Looking at his beloved disciple, Zhong Yu was distressed and called out in a lost voice.

Yacha frowned, and scolded Fu Yingxuan: "Presumptuous! The public court is a noisy and presumptuous place! ”

He rudely kicked Fu Yingxuan's calf shin, Fu Yingxuan screamed in pain and knelt on the ground in embarrassment.

Mrs. Fu and other daughters of the Fu family were afraid of being affected, so they knelt in the public court one after another, they all glared at Fu Yingxuan with hatred, thinking that she was really a harmful spirit, and she still had to make trouble.

Mrs. Fu and several concubines are all from high families, and they have lived a prosperous life in the first half of their lives, except for the ancestral tablets, emperors and empresses, how could they have knelt in the public court so humbly as now.

Zhong Yu looked straight at Fu Yingxuan, who was embarrassed, her hands were clenched into fists in her sleeves, she was distressed and soft-hearted, she wanted to step forward, but after all.

"Smack!"

Dali Siqing knocked heavily on the startling wood in his hand.

This thunderous sound penetrated the thick high wall from the public hall and spread to the outside of Dali Temple, which caused some people gathered outside to speculate and discuss for a while.

The green canopy carriage that sent Zhong Yu over was still parked in its original position, and Qi waited in the carriage, looking at the book indifferently, as if he was unaware of the disturbances outside.

This rebellion case has attracted the attention of many people in Beijing, from high-ranking officials and dignitaries to peddlers and pawns.

Hearing that the trial will be held today, the entrance of Dali Temple is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and there are not only those people and dignitaries who gather there, but also those students who have been to Jingzhao Mansion and Princess Mansion on March 15.

Even if they stood outside the Dali Temple, they couldn't see anything at all, and everyone was reluctant to leave, and they were enthusiastically discussing the case with people they knew or didn't know around them.

Outside Dali Temple, with the rising sun, it becomes more and more lively, like a pot of boiling water......

It wasn't until almost noon that there was a sudden movement in Dali Temple, and a person walked out, it was Zhong Yu.

At this moment, Zhong Yu's face was like ashes, and her eyes were gloomy, as if the last flame in her heart had finally been extinguished.

At first, those people thought that the case was over so quickly, but when they looked at it again, something was wrong, if the trial was over, how could it be so quiet?!

Everyone looked at Zhong Yu curiously, pointed at her, and guessed what role she played in this case.

Zhong Yu was unaware of this, and returned to the green canopy carriage with a stunned expression.

Seeing Zhong Yu returning, Qi put down the book in his hand and asked, "Ah Yu, how is it?" ”

Looking at Zhong Yu's dejected appearance, Qi could also guess that Fu Yingxuan might have disappointed Zhong Yu again today.

"......" Zhong Yu's lips opened slightly, and his throat seemed to be pinched.

"Have a cup of tea." Qi personally poured Zhong Yu a cup of jasmine tea to stabilize her mind.

Zhong Yu took the cup of tea uncertainly, slowly drank the warm flower tea, his eyes flashed, and the voice of Dali Siqing in the court sounded in his ears and asked:

"Fu Yingxuan, are you guilty?!"

"The juice of the 'red phoenix' has the effect of aphrodisiac, and the dress you wore that day was stained with the juice of the 'red phoenix', which is clearly intended to drug the emperor, which is wrong!"

"You have the Yang bloodline in your belly, and you want to blame the emperor, this is the chaotic royal bloodline, and the crime is unforgivable!"

"You colluded with Yang Xuyao to intend to rebel, this is a crime of treason, and it will be full of trouble!"

“……”

The presiding judge, Dali Siqing, cited Fu Yingxuan's various crimes, not only that, but also announced that the four students who entered the princess's mansion that day also went to court to testify about the case.

Moreover, Fu Yingxuan's mother, Mrs. Fu, also truthfully stated everything she knew, and showed that she didn't know anything about her daughter Fu Yingxuan's pregnancy, and only begged the court to open up to the rest of the family, and she was willing to accept the guilt.

The accusations and accusations of those people were all deeply engraved in Zhong Yu's heart, echoing in her ears over and over again.

Even if Zhong Yu doesn't want to believe it anymore, things have come to this point, and she can't convince herself anymore.

Just like Duanmufei said, Fu Yingxuan has changed a long time ago.

Fu Yingxuan did commit a heinous crime, and the crime is unforgivable.

This also means that over the years, my trust in her, my love for her, and my dedication to her have ...... It's all a joke.

Thinking back on the past few years at this moment, Zhong Yu feels ridiculous, and even more heartache, heartache for the former Fu Yingxuan.

Fu Yingxuan has changed, when a piece of white paper is stained with ink, it is impossible to turn back into a blank paper.

It's not that he was deceived by her, but that he wishfully decided that Fu Yingxuan was still the simple little girl when she was young.

It's just that I've deceived myself.

The case has not been tried yet, Zhong Yu can't listen to it anymore, anyway, she has already got the answer she wants, so she simply came out of the court.

Zhong Yu closed his eyes, and his chest rose and fell violently.

Her expression was bitter and sad, she couldn't hide her regret, and smiled bitterly: "Ruoyun, when Yingxuan saw me for the first time just now, she said that she was innocent, said that she was right, and begged me to help her, saying ......"

The words that followed, Zhong Yu felt shameless to continue.

has come to this point, Fu Yingxuan still has to put the responsibility and fault on Duanmujun and Duanmufei.

"She has not repented until now." Zhong Yu's voice became even more difficult, and a word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, "Ruoyun, I was really wrong, I couldn't even listen to your words." ”

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

Qi Shi could see better than her, frowned, and asked, "Did you tell her about that incident too?" ”

"What?" Zhong Yu looked at Qi suspiciously.

Qi Shi pointed out sharply: "Otherwise, why does she think that 'only' you can save her?" This is a great crime of treason. ”

Qi's two sentences were actually still vague, but Zhong Yu understood this time.

"......" Zhong Yu's eyes widened slightly, and she chewed on the words that Fu Yingxuan said in the court again, and at this moment, she tasted some taste again.

She shook her head slowly and said stiffly, "I didn't tell anyone else. ”

"You should get the idea." Qi added tea to Zhong Yu again.

"......" Zhong Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the cup, and the small jasmine flowers in the clear tea water were up and down.

"You treat her wholeheartedly and think about her in everything, but she is calculating you......" Qi simply took this opportunity to point out the words, which was also once and for all, lest Zhong Yu always be soft-hearted towards Yingxuan's apprentice.

“……”

Zhong Yu wanted to say no, but after so many things in the past few days, she couldn't say this sentence anymore.

Others can wronged Fu Yingxuan for other things, but there is one thing that can never be faked, that is, Fu Yingxuan is pregnant, she ran to the princess's mansion for a banquet with her child, and she intends to get close to the new emperor, anyone can see that something is wrong.

Fu Yingxuan even did this kind of thing, which shows that she has no principles and bottom line at all.

When a person gives up her principles and bottom line, what else can't she do?!

There was silence in the carriage, and the two of them were relatively speechless for a long time.

Zhong Yu drank the flower tea slowly, and the faint fragrance of jasmine was in the carriage.

Suddenly, Zhong Yu put down the teacup in his hand, his smile was even more bitter, and the whole person looked exhausted.

"I was really wrong." She muttered again.

Qi smiled slightly, held one of Zhong Yu's hands, and comforted: "If there is a mistake, change it, it will never be too late." ”

"It's not too late to make amends."

"Look at me, I have lived so many years in the Zhang family, and now I am still fine!"

She never regretted her righteousness with Zhang Wenxuan, people can't live in a lie all their lives, no matter how beautiful that lie looks, a lie is a lie after all.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside:

"Sentenced! Sentenced! ”

"The results of the three divisions have been reviewed!"

"Take a look, how to judge ......"

“……”

Qi and Zhong Yu both lifted the curtains and looked in the direction of Dali Temple.

Surrounded by those people in a commotion, the gate of Dali Temple opened, and a government messenger came out to post a notice on the bulletin board.

This sensational rebellion case was convicted on the same day, and the new emperor was gracious, and the nine clans that did not implicate the Fu family, the Feng family, etc., except for the beheading of the main culprit, the rest were sentenced to exile for 5,000 miles.

As for the Yang family, the whole family will be temporarily detained, and they will be questioned together after Yang Xuyao is captured.

On the same day, the results of the trial were announced to the world, and one by one, the messengers rode out of the four gates of the capital and headed to the south and the north.

In the next few days, the streets and alleys of Beijing, after tea and dinner, were discussing this topic, and some people accused the Yang family of being sinister; Some people say that the Fu family, the Feng family, etc., are to blame; Some people lamented that the new emperor was wise and discovered the conspiracy of the Yang family; Some people also choked their hearts when they thought that the main culprit Yang Xuyao was still on the run.

Many teahouses have already had storytellers who began to talk about the beginning and end of the Yang family's rebellion case, and said it vividly, as if he was in the Dali Temple court that day.

In the capital, there was a lot of excitement.

The next day, that is, early in the morning of March 27, Zhong Yu went to Muguo's mansion again, this time, she did not go with Qi, she went alone, in order to admit her mistake to Duanmufei.

"Fourth girl Duanmu, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting today."

"I'm here to apologize to the girl, I've always misunderstood the girl before, if there is anything that offends the girl, please don't mind the girl."

Zhong Yu didn't twist it, let alone hold Mr.'s shelf, and when he saw Duanmufei, he explained his intention and apologized sincerely.

After she spoke, the hall was silent.

Duanmu Fei looked at Zhong Yu a few steps away, and he was a little stupid.

Bi Chan and Green Pothos are the same, the two of them have followed Duanmu Fei for so many years, and they have also been to Huilan Garden many times, so they know that this Mr. Zhong has always disliked his own girl, but he didn't expect her to suddenly change her attitude today.

But Zhong Yu's temperament is like this, right is right, wrong is wrong.

Looking at Duanmu's little face, Zhong Yu couldn't help but laugh a little in his heart.

When she got rid of the prejudice in her heart and looked at Duanmu Fei from a different angle, she suddenly understood a little bit why Qi liked this little girl so much.

Zhong Yu said with a smile: "I have these scores here, which are some of the scores I searched for before, and some of them are the remnants of the scores that I have completed. This is a little bit of my heart, and I hope the girl will accept it. ”

Although these scores are precious, the scores can be copied, and they will not be suspected of being favored, so Duanmu Fei happily accepted them.

Zhong Yu didn't stay long, and now that the matter was done, she also left.

Zhong Yu left, but the Muguo Mansion became lively, Duanmufei, who had not played the piano for a long time, burned incense and cleaned his hands with great interest, and tried to play the music score given by Zhong Yu.

On this day, until the sunset set, she left the piano case in Duanmujun's three urgings and four invitations.

Duanmufei, who got a new score, is like a child who has got something new, he is very greedy, and his life is beautiful every day.

The only regret is probably that it still hasn't rained in the capital, and even the water level of the fish pond in the house has dropped a lot, and the goldfish in the pond are wilting.

The second watch is at 14:30
