Chaoyang Palace.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good......" Xiao Lizi ran in in a panic.

Yunshang glared at him dissatisfied: "What's so flustered?" What should I do if I disturb Your Highness? ”

"Your Highness forgives your sins." Xiao Lizi hurriedly reported to Mu Ranyue: "There is a big incident in the court today, and Your Majesty found out that Ye Zuo Nian is directly participating in the palace test on behalf of others. Your Majesty is furious and has now imprisoned Night Phase in the Heavenly Prison and annulled your marriage to Night Phase. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Mu Ranyue was stunned for a moment, and then her hind legs were weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Yun Sheng hurriedly supported her: "Your Highness, be careful." ”

"How is this possible?" Mu Ranyue muttered. No, her first reaction was that he had been framed, and she never believed that Ye Zichen would do such a thing.

She suddenly pushed Yunshang away, pulled her legs and ran in the direction of Qiande Palace, she was going to ask her father for clarification.

"Your Highness, Your Highness......" Yunshang hurriedly chased after her, for fear that something would happen to her.

When he arrived at Qiande Palace, Mu Ranyue rushed in quickly, "Father, father, ......"

Because she ran too fast, her body almost couldn't stabilize, and Mu Ruiyuan immediately came down to support her. I knew she was coming, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.

Wang Xi was stunned by her actions, the princess who is usually gentle and obedient also has such a crazy side.

"Yue'er, calm down first, and listen to what I tell you." Mu Ruiyuan comforted her.

"Father, Brother Chen, he will definitely not do such a thing, he must be wronged." Mu Ranyue said directly.

"Come, Yue'er." Mu Ruiyuan was not in a hurry to explain, and pulled her to sit down.

Mu Ranyue was so anxious that her eyes were red.

Mu Ruiyuan handed her the dossier, "You can take a look at this first, and you will know if I have wronged him." ”

Mu Ranyue tried to calm herself down and read these files slowly. And even if the evidence above is clear, Mu Ranyue still refuses to believe it.

"No, it can't be, he must have been framed, he must have been."

Mu Ruiyuan said helplessly: "Yue'er, the evidence above is conclusive, how could he be framed?" Who has the ability to do such a thing of framing so seamlessly? ”

Mu Ranyue didn't listen to persuasion at all, "Father, Brother Chen is so good, and he is a celebrity in front of you, Father, there must be many people in the court who want to harm him." So, I believe he must have been framed. ”

"Okay, if you don't believe in these physical evidence, then I will take you to see the human evidence."

Mu Ruiyuan took Mu Ranyue to the place where the old couple was held.

The old couple had never seen them before, so they were stunned for a moment, not knowing who these two were, but when they looked at their pretenses, they knew that they were either rich or expensive.

Wang Xi shouted: "Bold, Your Majesty and Princess Changning are coming, and they don't kneel down and salute!" ”

When the couple heard that it was His Majesty and the princess coming, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground: "The grass people knock to see Your Majesty, and knock to see Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Mu Ruiyuan raised his hand slightly to signal the two of them to be flat, but they didn't dare to get up. They are just ordinary peasants, and when they suddenly see the face of the sky, they are naturally frightened.

Mu Ruiyuan didn't care, and said directly: "Tell the princess about your previous confession." ”

The couple were stunned, and they didn't understand what Mu Ruiyuan meant for a while.

Mu Ruiyuan frowned, and reminded lightly: "About the night phase." ”

When they heard this, their eyes suddenly became a little flustered, and the woman relieved her mind, and then spoke in a passionate voice:

"Yes. We were originally farmers, and we had a son named Li Ming under our knees, and we tried our best to provide him with education, hoping that he could go out of the peasant gate to glorify his ancestors, and he also competed and successfully passed the examination, and was about to prepare for the palace examination, but he suddenly contracted a vicious disease and died, and the grass people were grief-stricken. ”

"And at this moment, Lord Zuo Xiang came, and he said to my husband and wife that he wants to be our son, as long as we agree to him to take the palace examination in place of our son, he will definitely be filial to us in the future. We thought about it for a moment and agreed. ”

"But I didn't expect ......" The woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and continued: "Lord Zuo Xiang is actually ungrateful, after he became famous, he never came to visit us again, nor did he give us a penny. We watched him soar as a son, but he had nowhere to complain. ”

Mu Ranyue listened carefully to what the woman said, and calmed down a lot. The woman thought she was perfect, but she was full of loopholes.

"Father, can you allow your sons to ask them a few questions?"

"Just ask." After asking, maybe you will die.

"You tell this palace, how did Zuo Xiang know that your son was dead?"

"This, we've always been very strange about this, Xu is, Xu is Lord Zuo Xiang from someone else."

"Since you can prove that Ye Zichen is participating in the palace examination in the capacity of others, why don't you sue in the morning?" Mu Ranyue asked again.

"He is the prime minister of the court, and we are just grass people, how dare we sue him? If it weren't for Lord Zhao coming to us and telling us that His Majesty had discovered something strange about the events of the year, and asked us to tell the truth, we wouldn't dare to say it until now. The woman cried.

"You said that your son's name is Li Ming, but Zuo Xiang's name is Ye Zichen, how did he even change the name of the original owner when he took over his identity?" Mu Ranyue asked again.

"This ...... This ......," the couple suddenly couldn't speak.

Mu Ruiyuan received: "Yue'er, didn't you read those case files just now, and it also shows how Ye Zichen changed his name, what else is there to ask?" ”

"But, Father, ......"

"Yue'er, don't struggle anymore, you also saw the testimony on those case files and Li Ming's portrait, what else do you not believe?"

"What if the portrait is fake? And what testimonies may also be false? Mu Ranyue asked rhetorically.

"It was the testimony written by the examiner and some other insiders who took the exam that year, how could it be fake? If you don't believe me, I can also declare them to confront Ye Zichen. ”

Mu Ranyue was unwilling, but she didn't know how to refute it.

She suddenly found another problem, and continued to ask the couple: "Since you said that Zuo is so ungrateful to you, and he is such a smart person, and he did that thing, and you are a disaster to him, why didn't he just be ungrateful to the end, kill you forever, and wait for you to expose him?" ”

The two of them suddenly stammered, "Xu yes...... Maybe he relented for a while, or maybe he didn't expect it. ”

"Hehe," Mu Ranyue sneered, "Father, what do you say?" And the examiner who will take the exam, why don't you see Ye Zichen killing people and killing people? ”

Mu Ruiyuan was also stumped by this question, yes, why didn't he take this into account?

He was a little unconfident and said: "Maybe he has a good conscience." ”

"Conscience is not clear?" Mu Ranyue couldn't help but say unscrupulously: "If my father does something and is caught by others, will my father put a scourge that may kill him at any time because of his conscience?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Mu Ruiyuan was instantly furious: "Presumptuous! He couldn't help coughing again.

Only then did Mu Ranyue realize that what she had just said was out of line, and she immediately knelt down and pleaded: "Father, please calm your anger, the son just didn't choose what to say." It's just that the father and the emperor, the sons really can't believe that Ye Zichen is such a person. ”

Then, she couldn't help sobbing again: "Father, it's the first time Yue'er likes someone so much when she grows up, and he has saved Yue'er's life again and again, can't my father really check it again?" ”

Mu Ruiyuan was silent, although Mu Ranyue's question just now was a suspicious point, but under all kinds of evidence, that suspicion was not big, and in his heart, Ye Zichen had already been convicted of death.

What's more, he was also afraid of wronging Ye Zichen at the beginning, so he was cautious when investigating this matter.

It's just Mu Ranyue's appearance, he really can't bear to see it.

"Father......" Mu Ranyue hugged Mu Ruiyuan's legs, crying and pleading.

Mu Ruiyuan turned around ruthlessly, although he doted on Mu Ranyue, but it was not unprincipled favor, Ye Zichen committed a capital crime, if he didn't kill him, how could he convince the public?

"Yue'er, this matter is a foregone conclusion, and in three days, I will issue an order to behead Ye Zichen for public display."

After speaking, Mu Ruiyuan struggled to break free from Mu Ranyue's hand, and left with someone.

When Mu Ranyue heard the news, she collapsed to the ground like a lightning strike, crying silently.
