Chapter 70: Evil Retribution for the Wicked
Yun Xiaoxiao was very vigilant, and then asked again.
The figure hurriedly walked to the table, and just as Yun Xiaoxiao got up to defend himself, a candle flame lit up, and the whole room suddenly lit up.
Li'er was holding a candle in her hand and smiling softly at Yun Xiaoxiao.
"Mercy!" Yun Xiao was shocked, and a feeling of guilt arose. Li'er couldn't speak, and her throat was also poisoned by Yun Xiaowan, and it was extremely difficult for Li'er to even make a sound.
She just thought that Li'er was a bad person, and she was almost about to do it. Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes were red, and she finally stopped her tears and couldn't help it.
Li'er put the candle on the table, hurriedly waved her hand passively, and walked to Yun Xiaoxiao's side quickly.
She couldn't read, she couldn't speak, and no one could ever know how she felt. It turned out that from Yun Xiaoxiao's return just now, Li'er could see that she was in a displeasure and absent-minded when eating.
Not only did Yun Xiaoxiao hide things in her heart and couldn't sleep, but Li'er was also worried about her over and over again. So Li'er got up and came to Yun's small room, wanting to accompany her for a while.
"Pian." Yun Xiao pouted slightly, and two lines of tears fell down her cheeks.
Li'er held Yun Xiaoxiao's face with both hands, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips.
"I'm sorry." Yun Xiaoxiao looked at Li'er reverently, but now Li'er can no longer speak, it is all caused by herself. If she protects Li'er well, or if Li'er has never known her, she will not let Yun Xiaowan and Mu Nan have a chance.
Li'er shook her head, and suddenly reached out to hug Yun Xiaoxiao.
Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it anymore, and rubbed her head in Li'er's arms and cried. Li'er gently patted Yun Xiaoxiao's back and gave her companionship and comfort.
Jun Ruyu sat on the eaves, looking at the warm scene in the house, and was a little envious.
Fortunately, he was not completely spurned and used in his life, and his mother left him a pastoral style, and he met Song Yan in the palace. Jun Ruyu's mind was empty for no reason, and it was rare for him to think about these emotional things.
"Li'er, my mother was really forced away by Lin Yinshuang." Yun Xiao sobbed slightly, and only after he could say a word. At that time, it was snowing heavily when Bai Yuyan left, she was penniless, Yun Xiaoxiao didn't dare to think about how she had survived that winter, and how she was doing now.
Jun Ruyu sighed slightly, turned around and flew off the eaves.
The next day, twenty or thirty officers and soldiers suddenly broke into the prime minister's mansion, saying that there had been a homicide, and that someone in the prime minister's mansion had killed the imperial court official.
Yun Shichang was both puzzled and worried, the current situation was uncertain, if someone deliberately wanted to suppress the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was not impossible.
"Call Madame and Mademoiselle to the hall." Yun Shichang came out of the study, and he was busy asking people to greet Lin Yinshuang and Yun Xiaowan.
After what happened last night, Lin Yinshuang had been in the room for a morning, and no one would open the door when anyone came. She was terrified, afraid that someone would find her head.
"Ma'am." The maid outside knocked softly on the door and shouted.
"I was unwell and I didn't see anyone. I'll talk about what I'll do when I'm ready. Without waiting for the maid to say the reason, Lin Yinshuang refused.
"Madam, there are many officers and soldiers in the house, and the lord tells you and Miss to hurry over. This cannot be delayed. The maid's tone was embarrassed, and she urged Lin Yinshuang again.
After hearing this, Lin Yinshuang trembled with fright as if she had encountered a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
The officers and soldiers at the head stood in the hall, and dozens of officers and soldiers gathered around, looking a little battled.
"Lord Yun." The leader of the officers and soldiers was very polite, and when he saw Yun Shichang, he bent down and saluted.
"What's going on?" Yun Shichang was in a nervous mood, and he just wanted to know what was going on. "How could my prime minister's mansion kill someone, I'm afraid you're mistaken."
It is impossible for the maids in the house to go out in the middle of the night to commit murder, not to mention that it was the court officials who died. Lin Yinshuang and Yun Xiaowan are women again, and it is impossible to kill. Yun Shichang thought about it, and couldn't think of how the murderer could be a person from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Daddy." At this time, Yun Xiaowan also rushed over. She hurried up the steps with her skirt in hand, looking at the soldiers around her with a puzzled expression. "What the hell is going on?"
The eyes of the leading officers and soldiers swept over the two of them. "Mrs. Ling is the one who killed Li Xiao, the supervisor of Dali Temple." He said every word, and his tone was very serious, and he was even more shocked when he heard it in the ears of Yun Shichang and Yun Xiaowan.
The two looked at each other, completely unconvinced that this was true.
"How is that possible? How could my mother kill someone? Yun Xiaowan frowned tightly. Whoever wants to harm the Prime Minister's Mansion should also make up a decent charge. My mother has always been kind and gentle to people, how could she do something murderous. Besides, I remember that Li Xiao is huge, how can my mother beat a woman? ”
Yun Xiaowan couldn't believe that Lin Yinshuang would kill someone. If Lin Yinshuang suffers, he will have one less backer in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Yun Xiaowan was very worried about this.
"There are all human and material evidence, not the lower officials' words. Moreover, the arrest of the prime minister's wife was ordered by the emperor, and the lower officials could not be the masters. "The leader of the officers and soldiers is justified and cannot be refuted.
Especially when the emperor knows about this matter, the Prime Minister's Mansion cannot be delayed. Yun Shichang was dull for a moment, and suddenly raised his head to call the housekeeper on the side. "Hurry up and call Mrs. over, if you can't shout, I'll ask you!"
The housekeeper was not to be lazy, and after receiving the order, he hurried to the backyard.
Yun Xiaowan was still chattering, asking why the leader wanted to arrest people for no reason. Yun Shichang was in a heavy mood, and his mind was blank.
After a while, the butler hurried back. "Sir, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am fainting." The butler was out of breath and stumbled in a word.
"Take her directly to the palace and see what the emperor does." The leader did not hesitate to order, and a dozen soldiers ran to the backyard to arrest people.
Lin Yinshuang was frightened unconscious, and was carried all the way.
"You just stay in the mansion, I'll go to the palace to have a look." Yun Shichang greeted Yun Xiaowan and followed the officers and soldiers to the palace.
In the Changding Palace, the emperor is sitting in danger.
After the early dynasty, Jun Ruyu stayed in the palace, and said to the emperor that the case of Shen Mangxia's death had been decided.
Jun Ruyu stood in front of him, and the two waited together for the officers and soldiers to bring them.
"Your Majesty, the third prince, the people have arrived." Gonggong Li came in and reported to the emperor and Jun Ruyu.
The emperor nodded and motioned for people to come in.
Lin Yinshuang was still unconscious when he entered the Changding Palace, and Yun Shichang knelt on the ground with a puff. He understands that if this matter is not handled well, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will also suffer.
"See the emperor." Yun Shichang saluted. When he got up, he found that Jun Ruyu was also in the palace.
Yun Shichang looked at Jun Ruyu suspiciously. I don't know what Li Xiao's death has to do with Jun Ruyu. Could it be that it has something to do with the death of the maid's daughter? Yun Shichang secretly speculated, and chuckled in his heart.
The case of Shen Mangxia's poisoning is in an uproar, if it is found to have something to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, what should it be.
While Yun Shichang was silently speculating, two palace maids came in with a bucket of water and poured on Lin Yinshuang's body without hesitation.
"Ahh Lin Yinshuang was startled in an instant and immediately came to her senses.
"Bastard." Yun Shichang complained in a low voice. This is in front of the emperor, Lin Yinshuang really threw away the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Jun Ruyu's face was expressionless, and he didn't even glance at Lin Yinshuang.
"Sir." Lin Yinshuang opened her eyes, and the first figure she saw in a daze was Yun Shichang. She didn't know that she had arrived at the palace, and while struggling to get up, she looked at Yun Shichang.
"Bold woman, you killed Li Xiao, the official of the imperial court, is there such a thing?" The emperor suddenly spoke, his voice was neither light nor heavy, but it clearly reached the ears of Yun Shichang and Lin Yinshuang.
"Emperor, Emperor?" Lin Yinshuang was frightened, her face turned pale suddenly, and she just got up and knelt on the ground with her legs limp again. "What is the emperor talking about, the concubine doesn't know."
Lin Yinshuang's eyes fluttered, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably. She lowered her head, others couldn't see her expression clearly, and Jun Ruyu had already guessed how wonderful Lin Yinshuang's face was at this time.
It would be nice if Yun Xiaoxiao was also there. A thought crossed Jun Ruyu's heart. Lin Yinshuang's biological mother ran away, and she bullied her with Yun Xiaowan in every way, if Yun Xiaoxiao was here, she would be very happy to see Lin Yinshuang look so funny.
What were you thinking? Jun Ruyu kept this thought in his heart in the next second.
"Until now, you're still quibbling." The emperor glanced at Lin Yinshuang with disgust. "The most unaccustomed thing in my life is a vicious person like you."
Jun Ruyu looked at the emperor, his eyes slightly empty.
Gonggong Zhang was holding a long wooden box in his hand, and the emperor waved him to show it to Lin Yinshuang and Yun Shichang.
Lin Yinshuang was apprehensive in her heart, her hands were tightly clutching the corners of her clothes, and her palms were already full of sweat.
Sure enough, the wooden box contained a hairpin, which was soaked in blood, and the original bronze hairpin turned red.
"This hairpin was taken out of Master Li's chest. Such a private thing, if it weren't for Mrs. Lin, who would be able to take away your hairpin and harm others. Jun Ruyu looked sideways at Lin Yinshuang.
His words were like an ice cellar, and Lin Yinshuang's body suddenly stiffened. She knew that she had no room to maneuver, and suddenly sat on the ground, her face empty, as if she had lost her soul.
"Lin Yinshuang. How could you have anything to do with Master Li? Yun Shichang was puzzled. Lin Yinshuang wants to hurt people, there should always be a reason to hurt people.
Where can Lin Yinshuang speak now, her mind is dazed, and she can't hear what Yun Shichang is saying at all.
Because Mrs. and Master Li are in love, the two have long colluded privately behind the back of the Prime Minister. As for why the dispute was caused, Madame even killed Master Li at any cost, which I don't know. Jun Ruyu's expression was indifferent.
Lin Yinshuang kept shaking her head, she still wanted to argue, but she couldn't speak.
"What!" Yun Shichang gasped angrily, he looked at Lin Yinshuang who was sitting on the ground, not only wanting to teach Lin Yinshuang a lesson, but also hindering the emperor from being in front of him.
The family affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the emperor was not easy to intervene, so he let Jun Ruyu tell Yun Shichang about the matter.
"However, the visit of my father and sons today, it is not a report of this matter." Jun Ruyu set his sights on the emperor.
"Oh? What else? ”
