Chapter 32: Retraction of Confessions

Mu Ranyue came to the place where the old couple was held again.

When they saw her come in, their bodies trembled, and they hurriedly saluted, Mu Ranyue's previous actions had already made the two of them have a psychological shadow.

Mu Ranyue didn't let them get up, and said coldly: "You also felt it just now, this palace wants to kill you, just like pinching an ant to death." Therefore, if this palace asks you anything, you will answer honestly, otherwise, this palace will make your life worse than death! ”

"Yes, Your Highness, the grass people will answer honestly." The two replied tremblingly.

Seeing their timid looks, Mu Ranyue frowned and began to interrogate: "Is what you just said in front of my father and the palace completely true?" ”

The woman said firmly, "Back to Your Highness, it is indeed completely true. ”

The man hesitated.

Mu Ranyue looked at them, and she found that the man seemed to be more scared than the woman, so she pointed to the woman and said, "I want to hear what your husband has to say today." So, from now on, you shut up Hongu. If this palace does not let you open your mouth, then this palace will order someone to cut off your tongue. ”

"Your Highness......" The woman couldn't help but look at Mu Ranyue with wide eyes, but she was so frightened by Mu Ranyue's eye knife that she couldn't speak.

She was talking all the time just now, mainly because she was afraid that a man would accidentally say something.

"You're here to tell Hongu, is it completely true?"

Mu Ranyue's gaze locked on him.

The man's face was frightened, his body trembled, and he spoke weakly for a while, "No, it's not. ”

The woman's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at her husband with a look of hatred that iron could not be made of steel.

Mu Ranyue nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, but even if you don't say it, this palace will also find out, you have made false testimony in front of Your Majesty, and there is no son named Li Ming at all!" ”

The pupils of the two dilated instantly, and they looked at Mu Ranyue in horror, but the woman still had a trace of reason, and was about to open her mouth to defend: "No, we ......"

"Presumptuous, didn't you hear the order of Your Highness just now!" Yunshang scolded.

The woman quickly kept her mouth shut, but touched her husband without a trace.

"Oh, I still want to quibble. You said that now that this palace has spoken this fact in front of Your Majesty, this alone will cure you of the crime of deceit. ”

The man trembled with fear, and scolded the woman for giving false testimony for the money.

But the woman could still maintain a trace of calm at this moment, she knew that she could not admit it no matter what, otherwise they would really die without a place to bury.

"Your Highness, what we say is true, if Your Highness doesn't believe it, just go to Your Majesty to complain. The women believe that His Majesty is a generation of Ming monarchs, and he will definitely find out and return us to a clean house. ”

Mu Ranyue really admires this woman a little, but she is just a peasant woman, and it is really not simple to be able to survive in this situation.

"Bengong originally thought, you are also a last resort, if you personally admit to your father at this time that you have committed false testimony, this palace can still spare your life. Now it seems that there is no need for this. Do you really think that apart from you, there is no other evidence in this palace? ”

As soon as the man heard this, he couldn't wait to admit it, "Your Highness spares your life, Your Highness spares your life, the grass people admit it, the grass people admit it, please ask Your Highness to spare the grass people." ”

No matter how much the woman glared at him fiercely, he was just a commoner, how could he dare to disobey today's most favored princess Changning? Listening to Princess Changning's tone, whether she admits it or not, she has a way to find other evidence, and maybe their whole family will be beaded for this crime of bullying the king?

It's better to admit it now, maybe you can get a way out.

Mu Ran raised his eyebrows: Yue: "Are you sure you want to admit it?" ”

"Yes, the grass people are honest, I just ask His Highness to spare the grass people."

The woman was about to say something, but the man yelled at her, "Shut up!" It's all your mother-in-law's eyes open when she sees money, otherwise how could we get to this point! ”

As soon as the woman heard that the man dared to yell at her, she was about to blow up her hair at the man, and Mu Ranyue directly asked her to drag her aside and gag her mouth.

Mu Ranyue found a place to sit down, "Say it." ”

The man immediately said, "Yes, Your Highness." The grass people didn't have this son in the first place, and the night lord took his identity, and someone forced the grass people to make it up.

In fact, the grass people have never seen Lord Ye, and that day Lord Zhao sent someone to find the grass people and gave the grass people a lot of money, but there was a request, that is, let the grass people do what they said. When the grass people heard this, they thought that this was a bully, and the grass people didn't want to agree.

But when the woman saw the money, she had to ask the grass people to agree, so the grass people agreed. ”

"So, all of this was framed by Lord Zhao?"

"The grass people only know what they want to do, and they don't know anything else, so please spare your highness." The man pleaded with a sad face.

Mu Ranyue nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, these are enough." Now the palace is going to take you to your father, and you can tell your father everything you just said. ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Mu Ranyue was about to take the man out, but she saw Xiao Lizi come in and whispered something in her ear.

"Okay, I'll go back right away."

After Mu Ranyue ordered someone to take care of the two of them, she returned to the dormitory.

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." Han Sheng saluted.

"Flat. How did you get here? ”

"Your Highness, now Zheng Guofu has promised his subordinates that he will tell the truth in front of His Majesty. Therefore, my subordinates hope that His Royal Highness will go to His Majesty now and return the innocence of my family. Han Sheng pleaded.

Mu Ranyue was a little uneasy: "Are you really sure that Zheng Guofu will tell the truth?" ”

Han Sheng nodded affirmatively: "Yes, my subordinates also know that this matter is all planned by the imperial historian Zhao Yan, the reason is that he had an illegitimate son who was molesting a folk girl on the street, and my family couldn't look past it, so he killed his illegitimate son on the spot, and he has been holding a grudge for so many years." However, because he was an illegitimate child, almost no one knew that the adults killed his son. ”

After hearing these news, Mu Ranyue was excited, and she was finally able to rehabilitate Brother Chen.

She immediately went to bring the man in the old couple to the Qiande Palace to find Mu Ruiyuan.

"Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Majesty said, no one will see you today, so Your Highness, please go back." Wang Xi looked apologetic. He understood that His Majesty's order was given for Princess Changning, and His Majesty didn't want to see Princess Changning intercede for Ye Zichen, he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted.

"What? Didn't you tell your father that I had found evidence of the innocence of the Night Phase? ”

"Of course the slave said it, but His Majesty knew that His Highness went to the prison today and almost killed those two witnesses with a rod, so now His Majesty doesn't believe His Highness's words at all."

Mu Ranyue smiled bitterly: "Father, even I don't believe it." But in this case, I also ask the prince to go in and report again, and Changning will kneel here today until my father agrees to see me. ”

Yun Sheng and Wang Xi were a little worried when they heard her say this, and wanted to dissuade her, but Mu Ranyue had a resolute face and knelt straight in front of the door of Qiande Palace.

Wang Xi immediately went in to report, "Your Majesty, Princess Changning is kneeling outside the palace at this moment, saying that if Your Majesty doesn't agree to see her, she won't get up." ”

Mu Ruiyuan was immediately angry, coughing incessantly, and his face was pale. It seems that he usually spoils this daughter too much, and now he dares to threaten him.

Wang Xi instantly said nervously: "Your Majesty ......"

Mu Ruiyuan finally calmed down a little anger, his eyes were gloomy, and he said, "Since she wants to kneel, let her kneel." I actually know that I am using bitter meat tricks. ”

"Your Majesty is angry, Your Highness is also affectionate, and Your Highness said that she also came to Your Majesty after finding evidence, why didn't Your Highness let Your Highness in?" Wang Xi persuaded.

Mu Ruiyuan didn't believe the so-called evidence in Mu Ranyue's mouth at all, she just went to the prison today, how could she find any reliable evidence, just to plead for Ye Zichen.

But angry is angry, Mu Ruiyuan looked at his daughter kneeling outside, naturally he was also distressed, after all, it was his daughter who had been spoiled since childhood.

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Ruiyuan asked Wang Xi to let Mu Ranyue in, but he still couldn't bear it after all.

"Father." Mu Ranyue saluted.

Mu Ruiyuan asked: "Yue'er, you know that I have never seen you suffer, why do you threaten your father so much?" ”

Mu Ranyue looked guilty: "Father, I'm sorry." But the father refused to see his son, and the son could only do this, and asked his father to forgive him. ”

Seeing her like this, Mu Ruiyuan couldn't bear it, and softened his voice: "Okay, I can also understand your current mood." But do you really have proof? ”
