Chapter 33: Confrontation

Mu Ranyue called someone in: "You tell your father what you said today." ”

The man trembled and told Mu Ruiyuan what he said to Mu Ranyue today, and finally said: "Your Majesty spares your life, and the grass people are also at the mercy of others." I beg your majesty to spare your life. ”

After Mu Ruiyuan heard this, he was shocked.

Mu Ranyue was satisfied with his performance, and said: "If the father thinks that the two of them are not enough to prove Ye Zichen's innocence, you can announce the official book and the imperial historian to see what he will say." ”

Mu Ruiyuan immediately sent someone to announce it.

"Did you really bear false witness?" Mu Ruiyuan frowned and confirmed again.

The man nodded in fear, and quickly buried his head again.

"And how do you admit it again?"

The woman said: "Back to Your Majesty, it was Her Royal Highness the Princess who said that she already knew that our husband and wife had committed false testimony, and if so, if we could confess all this to Your Majesty in person, she would spare our lives." ”

"Yue'er, are you tempting?" Mu Ruiyuan asked Mu Ranyue.

Mu Ranyue smiled, "Father, that's the case, I'm just trying to get them to say it." ”

Mu Ruiyuan was stunned, and his eyes were very complicated when he looked at Mu Ranyue, fortunately, he was not in a hurry to execute Ye Zichen, otherwise if Ye Zichen was really wronged this time, how should he face Yue'er?

The hall fell silent.

After a long time, Zheng Guofu and Zhao Yan finally arrived, "Weichen see Your Majesty." ”

"Pingshen, about the case of the night phase fake identity, I learned that there is another secret in this matter, I wonder if the two of you think, do you need to check this matter again?"

Zhao Yan saw Mu Ranyue on the side, and sighed in his heart, could it be because of this Princess Changning, His Majesty still wants to overturn the case for Ye Zichen?

He was about to say that the matter was conclusive and there was no need to check it again, but he was preempted by Zheng Guofu next to him.

Zheng Guofu immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and pleaded: "Your Majesty, the minister deserves death." ”

Zhao Yan and Mu Ruiyuan both looked at him in surprise. Zhao Yan thought to himself, could this official have taken the wrong medicine?

Mu Ruiyuan asked: "What is Zheng Qing's crime?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, in fact, Night Phase did not pretend to be someone else's identity at all, all of this was designed by Lord Zhao Yan and Zhao. There was once a local official who came to give a gift to Wechen, and Wechen saw the money for a while, so he accepted it. Unexpectedly, this matter was known to Lord Zhao, and he used this matter to threaten Weichen and let Weichen frame Yexiang, so Weichen made a big mistake. ”

Zheng Guofu's words were undoubtedly turbulent for Mu Ruiyuan and Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan was even more shocked: "Lord Zheng, you ......"

Zheng Guofu couldn't manage so much, and now he regretted listening to Nangong Jinxuan's words to harm Ye Zichen. At that time, he only considered that Nangong Jinxuan was the prince, and he was particularly impressed by the conditions given by Nangong Jinxuan, but he didn't take into account how powerful Yezichen was at all.

Moreover, Ye Zichen is much more important than him in His Majesty's heart, if His Majesty knows about this, I am afraid that he will have the heart to kill him. Now he is really neither advancing nor retreating, and he can't please either side.

It's not that he didn't want to help Nangong Jinxuan do this matter to the end, but Ye Zichen actually ordered someone to threaten him with his family left in Yunguo, and he could only overturn his previous confession.

However, after this incident, even if he can keep a life, he is afraid that he will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the court of Chu State.

However, as long as his family is safe, then he can rest assured. Ye Zichen promised him that he would protect his family in the Cloud Country and would not let His Majesty hurt them.

"Zhao Yan! What do you have to say about what Cheng Guofu said? Mu Ruiyuan's forehead was bruised, and he was furious.

"Your Majesty, Wechen is wronged, Wechen has no grievances with the night phase, why did Wechen frame him, please Your Majesty investigate." Zhao Yan hurriedly knelt down in fear to excuse himself.

"Is Lord Zhao really innocent of the night? But how do I remember that Lord Zhao had an illegitimate child who was killed by Night Phase for molesting a folk girl on the street, and Lord Zhao hated him to the core. Zheng Guofu retorted.

Zhao Yan was stunned: "You ......"

He remembered that almost no one knew about it, how could he know?

"Why, Lord Zhao thinks that no one will know about the fact that you have an illegitimate child?" Zheng Guofu sneered.

In fact, if Ye Zichen hadn't ordered someone to tell him about this, he wouldn't have known that Ye Zichen and Zhao Yan still had a personal vendetta. So at first, he was still very puzzled why Zhao Yan had to bring down Ye Zichen.

Mu Ruiyuan listened to these remarks, and only felt that his head hurt, if Zhao Yan and Ye Zichen really had a grudge, then he sent Zhao Yan to investigate Ye Zichen's affairs, of course he wanted to put Ye Zichen to death.

He has always valued Zhao Yan more, Zhao Yan has been the imperial doctor for many years, and he has handled things fairly and selflessly, and there have been almost no mistakes, so he sent Zhao Yan to investigate this matter.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Guofu is slandering, how can Weichen have an illegitimate child? Zheng Guofu him, he must have been bought by Ye Zichen, so he bit back Weichen and begged His Majesty to investigate. Zhao Yan defended.

"Heh, buy? Is Lord Zhao joking? The night phase is in the prison, and not everyone can enter and exit the prison at will. Can Lord Zhao tell Hongu how Night Phase bought Zheng Guofu? Mu Ranyue, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally couldn't help it.

Mu Ruiyuan also glared at him with anger in his eyes.

Zhao Yan tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, and said to Mu Ranyue: "Princess Changning has a noble status, and it is not difficult to buy an official to do things for you. ”

As soon as the words fell, Mu Ranyue didn't say anything, but Mu Ruiyuan scolded angrily: "Presumptuous! Zhao Yan, who gave you the courage to dare to bite the princess at will! ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen knows that Your Majesty loves the princess, but Your Majesty can't distinguish between right and wrong because of the princess. Weichen heard that the princess had gone to visit Ye Zichen in the prison before, who can be sure that the princess had not done those things at the instigation of Ye Zichen? Zhao Yan continued to quibble.

Mu Ranyue sneered: "Lord Zhao is really capable, and even the whereabouts of the palace are well known, and he is worthy of being an official of the Imperial History Terrace." ”

Then Mu Ranyue knelt down to Mu Ruiyuan and said: "Father, the son swears to the sky that he has never done this, otherwise he will ......."

Mu Ruiyuan immediately interrupted her: "That's enough, Changning get up, I will find out about this matter." I assure you that if Ye Zichen is innocent, I will immediately release him and reinstate him. ”

"Thank you, Father."

"Your Majesty, you can't ......," Zhao Yan looked sad and indignant.

"Okay, I've already said I'll find out about it, so don't talk about it anymore. Since this matter involves you, I can only confine you to the mansion until the outcome of the case is known. ”

Mu Ruiyuan was not as impulsive as he was to Ye Zichen this time, because Ye Zichen had always been very perfect in his heart, and after suddenly learning that he had done that kind of thing, he only felt that all the trust he had given him for many years was in vain, and at that time he even had the heart to cut him with a thousand knives. And this time, he must find out the truth, and there must be no mistakes.

After the two of them retreated, Mu Ruiyuan looked at Mu Ranyue guiltily: "Yue'er, this matter is indeed too arbitrary. ”

Mu Ranyue walked over and comforted: "Love is deep and responsible, Yue'er can understand her father." Fortunately, his father has not convicted Ye Zichen yet, otherwise it would be really difficult to recover. ”

Mu Ruiyuan took Mu Ranyue into his arms and sighed silently.
