Chapter 34: Reversal of the case
After Ye Zichen was sent to prison, the case was reported, and everyone in the world was shocked.
Nangong Yue Peng immediately ordered someone to investigate secretly, and learned that it was Nangong Jinxuan who was behind the scenes, and he was furious. Nangong Jinchen is the best chess piece in his hands, Nangong Jinxuan actually dares to move him at this time, and does he still take his father in his eyes?
He immediately called Nangong Jinxuan over, beat and scolded him, and said the words of the abolished prince, so frightened that Nangong Jinxuan kowtowed again and again to promise that he would never dare again in the future, Nangong Yuepeng looked at his eldest son, and finally reluctantly forgave him.
After hearing the news, Concubine Jing immediately fainted, and when she woke up, she saw Nangong Jinze guarding her side.
"Mother, you're finally awake."
"Jin Ze, your Sixth Emperor Brother ......" Concubine Jing said, and couldn't help choking again.
"Don't worry, concubine, Jin Ze assures you that the Sixth Emperor Brother will never be fine." Nangong Jinze said firmly.
"Are you serious? But this is a capital crime he committed, how could Emperor Chu let him go? Concubine Jing choked up.
"The mother forgot that the Chu Emperor's favorite Princess Changning is the fiancΓ©e of the Sixth Emperor Brother, and she must have a way to get the Chu Emperor to let the Sixth Emperor Brother go. Moreover, the Sixth Emperor Brother has always been very intelligent, and he will find a way to exonerate himself. Nangong Jinze tried his best to persuade him.
Concubine Jing just let go of the snack a little.
"Seeing that the concubine's face still seems to be a little weak, the concubine should rest for a while, maybe when she wakes up, she will be able to hear the good news of the six emperor brothers."
Concubine Jing was very melancholy, but she didn't want Nangong Jinze to worry, so she said, "Okay, you can go back first." Don't worry about me, I'm fine. β
"Then the minister will not disturb the mother, the mother will have a good rest, and the son-in-law will retire."
Concubine Jing smiled and watched Nangong Jinze leave, although he was not his own child, but in the years that Jinchen left, if he hadn't been with him, he wouldn't have survived.
was sighing, only to hear the outside report: "Your Majesty has arrived!" β
Concubine Jing was busy ignoring her still weak body, quickly got up and cleaned up briefly, and went out to kneel to greet her.
"Concubines, see Your Majesty."
"Let's be flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Jing stood in front of Nangong Yue Peng dignifiedly.
"I heard that you passed out just now, what is still unwell in your body now?" Nangong Yue Peng asked with a look of concern.
"Your Majesty Xie cares, and the concubine is no longer in the way." When Concubine Jing saw his fake face, she thought of the scene where he had to force himself to eat poison every six months before, and she couldn't help but feel so disgusted that she wanted to vomit.
"I think you also know the news of Jinchen, you don't have to worry too much, I believe that Jinchen will be fine." If something really happened, then his plan for so many years would have to be abandoned halfway, which is why he would be so angry with Nangong Jinxuan.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, for your comfort." Concubine Jing replied lukewarmly.
Concubine Jing has always had such an attitude towards Nangong Yue Peng for so many years, but fortunately, Nangong Yue Peng rarely comes over. Nangong Yue Peng was a little embarrassed: "I know that you have been blaming me in your heart, but I am also for the great cause, I hope you can understand." I'm going to go first, so you can get some rest. β
"The concubine sends your majesty."
After seeing Nangong Yue Peng walking away, Concubine Jing went to the bed to lie down and rest.
However, in three days, Ye Zichen's case had a result. When Mu Ruiyuan saw the result, he immediately became angry, spit out a mouthful of blood, and almost fainted.
At this time, Mu Ranyue was by her side, and she immediately helped Mu Ruiyuan to the bed and took Mu Ruiyuan's pulse. Sure enough, my father's illness worsened.
Mu Ranyue couldn't bear to be sad, she didn't want her father to know that her condition had worsened. She re-prescribed a prescription and ordered someone to go to the Tai Hospital to pick up the medicine and decoction.
Mu Ruiyuan saw that Mu Ranyue was so worried about herself, and he felt even more guilty about her in his heart. He really wronged Ye Zichen, and the evidence he got before turned out to be fabricated by Zhao Yan by taking advantage of his power.
"Yue'er, I'm sorry, I blame my father for being too arbitrary...... Mu Ruiyuan blamed himself.
"Don't say that, Yue'er knows that her father has always been for Yue'er's good. Yue'er's attitude towards her father was really presumptuous, and she also used her father's favor to threaten her father. Mu Ranyue also blamed herself.
Knowing that her father's health is weak, she still angers her father like that, which is really unfilial.
Mu Ruiyuan stroked Mu Ranyue's hair and said softly: "Good, I know that Yue'er didn't mean it." It's just that now Yue'er still blames her father in her heart? β
Mu Ranyue wanted to say that it was not strange, but suddenly her eyes rolled and she pouted: "Of course it's a little, my father knows that Yue'er likes Yezichen, and he wants to break us up." If her father can resume the marriage, Yue'er will not be blamed. β
Mu Ruiyuan suddenly laughed and scratched Mu Ranyue's nose: "You girl, you are really infatuated with Zichen this night, I'm afraid even my father and emperor will have to stand aside." β
"Father, ......," Mu Ran Yue called out in a coquettish voice.
"Don't worry, since he was wronged, then he can naturally be reinstated, and his marriage with you will not change. Is that satisfying? Mu Ruiyuan was full of pampering.
Mu Ranyue happily got up and thanked her: "Thank you, father." β
The next day, Mu Ruiyuan announced in the court that the case of Ye Zichen was framed by Zhao Yan, the imperial historian, and at the same time showed his own mistakes, Ye Zichen was reinstated, and his marriage to Princess Changning remained as usual.
As for Zhao Yan, he framed the important ministers of the dynasty and sentenced him to be beheaded, and at the same time, all men over the age of 14 in the family were beheaded, and women and boys under the age of 14 were not enslaved.
Zheng Guofu was his accomplice, and he was threatened, so he was sentenced to exile.
However, in just two days, everyone thought that Ye Zichen would definitely die, but they didn't expect the case to be reversed, and this change was simply jaw-dropping.
However, some people wonder if His Majesty deliberately favored Ye Zichen because of Princess Changning, but after thinking about it, they didn't dare to say it.
And Zhou Tao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, finally breathed a sigh of relief, Zichen was wronged this night, so naturally he was not derelict in his duties, and His Majesty would not come to deal with him.
At the same time, this news naturally spread throughout the three countries. Nangong Yue Peng and Concubine Jing were of course very happy, but one was for their so-called great cause, and the other was just for their son.
And when Murong Heng of Murong Villa heard the news, he was like a slap in the face.
"Ye Zichen has been rehabilitated? The emperor reinstated her marriage to the princess? Murong Heng was a little incredulous.
"Back to the second son, that's true."
"What's the matter, Brother Heng, Ye Zichen was released, you are not happy for your cousin, but you have such an expression?" Murong Xiu on the side asked.
"Happy?" Murong Heng drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and smiled bitterly: "Big brother, it's not that you don't know my feelings for Yue'er. β
Murong Xiu sighed and said, "Brother Heng, it's time for you to put it down." You should know very well that your cousin has always only regarded you as a brother in her heart. β
"Of course I do. By the way, eldest brother, Yue'er also told me before that cousins can't get married medically, right? He had always believed that Mu Ranyue was right, but now he was a little skeptical that this was Mu Ranyue's excuse for rejecting him.
Murong Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yue'er is right, so you should put it down now." β
Murong Xiu knew that Murong Heng did not have the blood of the Murong family at all, so he and his father knew that Murong Heng's feelings for Mu Ranyue did not interfere, but they were still a little happy.
Now seeing his younger brother so deeply in love and unable to extricate himself, Murong Xiu really regrets it.
Seeing that Murong Heng's face was even worse, Murong Xiu hurriedly comforted: "Don't be too sad." There are thousands of women in the world, why do you have to be obsessed with your cousin? I see that there are many excellent women in the rivers and lakes who have a secret promise to you, why don't you try to contact them? In this way, you can forget about this undeserved love as soon as possible. β
"But those people aren't what I want after all." Murong Heng evoked a wry smile.
"You haven't gotten along with them, so how do you know that there is no one among them who meets your eye? It seems that I should ask my father to arrange a blind date banquet for you, and take your heart well. Murong Xiu said half-jokingly.
"Don't, big brother, I don't want any blind date banquet." Murong Heng hurriedly said, "Don't worry, big brother, I will try my best to control my heart." β
"That's good."
