Mu Lingzhi suddenly led Yu Ruyan to ask King Liang and the queen for the grace of marriage, which was really unexpected by everyone. [Full text reading. 】

In fact, it stands to reason that Mu Lingzhi and Yu Ruyan are the joint marriage relatives of the two countries, and they are already nominal husband and wife, but they lack a formal marriage ceremony, and their request is not too much, but Yu Ruyan's current identity makes everyone feel that Mu Lingzhi's proposal at this time is a bit rash----

Yu Ruyan is now a suspect in the case of Qin Xianglou, although because of her identity as the princess and the third princess of Daqi, coupled with Mu Lingzhi's strength, she does not have to be imprisoned, but she can't blatantly marry the three princes before the case is officially investigated.

Yu Ruyan was also surprised by Mu Lingzhi's sudden move, she never expected that Mu Lingzhi would make such a request to King Liang and the Empress on such an important occasion.

Thinking of her previous promise to the queen, she couldn't help but panic and looked at Queen Xie, who was high above her, and sure enough, she had a frosty face, and her eyes glared at her fiercely.

In a panic, she swallowed her throat with difficulty, and couldn't help but pull Mu Lingzhi's robe to retreat, but Mu Lingzhi didn't move, but reached out to hold her hand, and whispered in her ear: "You owe me an incident when you lost chess yesterday, I ask you now not to leave, face it with me, I must marry you beautifully, and let you become my Mu Lingzhi's princess in a dignified manner!" ”

Mu Lingzhi's tone was as hard as a dark iron, just like his firm heart.

In fact, after many things happened during this time, his determination to marry her became more and more firm and impatient. He wants to protect her in the name of justice, so that she will not be hurt in the slightest.

His undoubted words made Yu Ruyan's heart skip a beat, and he looked at him with a resolute face in a daze, and his panicked heart calmed down inexplicably, and a voice in his heart said to himself. She is reluctant to leave the man next to her, she is willing to fight for their future with him, even if the whole world is against her, she has to work hard for him again.

Thinking of this, seeing that King Liang didn't respond for a long time, she didn't wait for Mu Lingzhi to speak again, she had already kowtowed respectfully and said: "Erchen also begs his father and mother to promise that Erchen and His Royal Highness will marry as soon as possible, and become the third princess in the name of righteousness!" ”

Seeing that she also spoke, Mu Lingzhi's whole body was shocked, and he looked back at her happily, holding her hand tighter, and was reluctant to part anymore!

However. Queen Xie saw that she also opened her mouth to help at this time, but she was not angry, and the knife also looked at her in a daze, her eyes were desperate and painful!

King Liang looked coldly at the two kneeling down, his eyes were cold, his voice was cold and piercing, and he said word by word: "Ling Zhi, do you know what you are doing?" ”

With Yu Ruyan fighting side by side, Mu Lingzhi was even more confident, and he was no longer afraid.

His back straightened, and he said loudly to King Liang: "Back to my father, my son knows very well what he is doing. Erchen wants to give Yan Yan a grand wedding, let her marry into my Three Kings' Mansion in a beautiful manner, and let everyone in the world know that she is my Mu Lingzhi's woman! ”

"Presumptuous!" King Liang snorted, the wine bottle in his hand was thrown on the table, and said coldly: "Have you forgotten what I said to you before?" I only agreed to give you time to investigate the case of Qin Xianglou, and did not promise to let you get married. Don't you know who she is now? ”

Hearing King Liang's words, the eldest prince couldn't help but reprimand, he got up and left the table and came to Mu Lingzhi, pretending to be sad: "Third brother, the imperial brother has always thought that you are the smartest and sensible, but I didn't expect you to be so confused. Don't say that she is a bad star who brings disaster to the country and the people, can you forget that she is still the murderer who burned down Qin Xianglou and killed 27 people. How can our princess be a murderer? You insisted on shielding her before, and it was against the law to take her out of the cell, and my father was merciful when he remembered your merits for guarding the border over the years, and he didn't care about you, and now you still want to marry this murderer into the palace, where will you put the face of our Daliang royal family? ”

His righteous words aroused heated discussions among the ministers, and immediately a minister, under the leadership of Mu Xiang, said to King Liang: "The eldest prince is reasonable, Princess Heshuo is still guilty of murder, how can she marry into the royal family of Daliang in a grand manner." If it doesn't make the people of the world feel cold, it will also become the laughing stock of the people of the world. ”

There are even more pedantic ministers who always remember that Yu Ruyan is a bad star and a chaotic country, and hurriedly admonished King Liang: "Not only that, this woman is also an ominous person born without tears, and she is a bad star who will trouble the country. ”

In an instant, Yu Ruyan and Mu Lingzhi had been attacked by a group, Yu Mingzhu and Mu Ziyue sat on the side and watched, the descriptions on their faces were surprisingly consistent, they were both cold and proud, but I wanted to see how Yu Ruyan could become the third princess again in such a situation?

Compared with the queen's anger, Xiao Dao kept indifferently looking at the mess below, his eyes stayed on Mu Lingzhi's body coldly, and he didn't say a word for the two of them.

From the beginning, Mu Ziyue had been paying close attention to the prince's expression, and now seeing that he didn't have the slightest idea of coming forward to help Mu Lingzhi and Yu Ruyan talk and plead, he was full of pride----

It seems that the prince did believe what he taught Chen Yanfei that night, and decided that Mu Lingzhi was the murderer who assassinated him three years ago.

At the dinner party in Yaohua Palace that day, after Yu Ruyan left the table, Mu Ziyue sent someone to inform Chen Yanfei, who was lurking on the side of the road, and asked her to pretend to have a chance encounter with Yu Ruyan to entangle her, while deliberately letting the palace people reveal it in front of the knife, saying that Yu Ruyan seemed to be drunk in the garden.

Xiaodao was very worried about Yu Ruyan, and came out to look for her without thinking about it.

After seeing him also go to the garden, Mu Ziyue told her that Xiaodao was coming with a small pebble according to the agreement with Chen Yanfei before, and asked Chen Yanfei to seize the opportunity to spread the news she made up into Xiaodao's ears.

Therefore, in the imperial garden that night, not only Yu Ruyan learned about it, but also the knife that had been quietly hiding on the side.

learned that it was his own brother who set up an ambush to assassinate him three years ago, and he didn't believe it at first, but when he saw Chen Yanfei take out that drawing, he completely decided that the person who killed him was his own brother Mu Lingzhi.

With this layer of hatred in his heart, when he saw Mu Lingzhi again, Xiao Dao wanted to seek revenge from him immediately, but he suddenly changed his mind----

Since he assassinated him regardless of his brotherhood, he didn't need to give up Yuruyan out of guilt, he wanted to officially compete with him

Jade is like a face!

Therefore, in the face of Mu Lingzhi, who was attacking him in groups, how could he come forward to help, and he couldn't wait for his father to cancel Yu Ruyan's marriage contract with him on the spot.

In the face of everyone's accusations, Mu Lingzhi pulled Yu Ruyan to stand up, he turned around and looked at the eldest prince behind him with a fierce attitude, as well as the angry ministers, his deep eyes swept over the people who spoke out against him one by one like a cold blade. The people who were swept by his gaze suddenly felt like a cold light on their backs, and they couldn't help but be afraid to silence each other, and they didn't dare to say a word more under his gaze.

After shutting up the people behind him, Mu Lingzhi turned around and said to King Liang seriously: "The last time there was an incident on the altar and when there was a flood in the south, Qin Tianjian watched the sky at night and found a chaotic world. Now that the disaster situation in the south is stable, and the crown prince has also successfully granted the seal, dare to ask, Qin Tianjian recently discovered that the stars in the sky have changed? ”

After that, his eyes looked coldly at the supervisor on the side, staring at him intently, waiting intently for his answer.

The supervisor was ordered by Mu Xiang to deliberately defile Yu Ruyan. thus used this to hit Mu Lingzhi. And when he came to attend the prince's banquet today, he never expected that Mu Lingzhi would suddenly attack him in public, so he didn't prepare at all, but he was stunned on the spot.

If he continues to insist that the evil star is still there, it is clear that the situation in the south has improved, and the crown prince has just been successfully sealed, if he says this again, won't he touch the mold of the prince who has just been successfully sealed?

And now that everything is going well in Daliang, even the huge poison that has accumulated in the queen's body for many years has been resolved, why can he make people believe in the celestial phenomena he said!?

But if you say that the evil star is no longer there, don't say that you can't talk about Mu Xiang's level, you are also slapping yourself in the face.

Because Yu Ruyan, who is regarded as a bad star, is still alive in Daliang. But the evil star in the sky has disappeared, isn't this a slap in the face, admitting that the previous ones were all made up by their own words?

Spread rumors to slander the princess, confuse the public, disrupt the government affairs of the court, and at the same time order to deceive the king, not only will he die, but he will also punish the nine clans!

In the cold weather of early winter, the forehead of the superintendent was covered with dense fine sweat, and his whole body trembled slightly, but he was forced to have nowhere to hide by Mu Lingzhi's fierce gaze, and finally, he had to grit his teeth and kneel, and said: "Wechen Weichen is trying to report to His Majesty, Wechen recently found that his vision is getting blurred and blurred, and he has seen it with a doctor, but he has an eye disease, so So, Wechen is ashamed and can no longer serve His Majesty, and I implore Your Majesty to allow Wechen to return to his hometown."

The Lord Supervisor knelt down in front of King Liang with a sad and pleading face, and then turned back to Mu Lingdao, who had a frosty face: "Your Highness forgives your sins, Weichen is old and frail, and his eyes are also spent. I really can't see the current celestial phenomena clearly, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness! ”

The superintendent's age is only over forty, and he is really not old and infirm, so everyone knows that he is just a prevarication.

King Liang's face sank, and Mu Xiang's expression was no longer as calm as a stone, a few traces of panic flashed between his expressions, and he took two steps back silently, blending in with the ministers.

As smart as Mu Lingzhi didn't understand what Lin Si meant, he snorted coldly and said, "Since you are old and dazzled, you can't see the truth, this palace thinks, the so-called evil star you saw before needs to be scrutinized." ”

Let's talk about it. He looked up at King Liang and said, "Father, the matter of the evil star is very important, why don't you let the others of Qin Tianjian take a look?" ”

King Liang has always been worried about the matter of the evil star because of the words of the previous supervisor, and now he heard that he is not able to see clearly, and he can't help but doubt his statement about the matter of the evil star last time, he waved his hand angrily to let the supervisor step back, and said coldly: "Your eye disease came at the right time, since this is the case, you can go back to your hometown to retire." ”

The supervisor had a bitter word in his heart, and his back was soaked in cold sweat, and now it is rare to be able to retreat completely, and he dared to say another word there, so he hurriedly thanked him and retreated.

King Liang's angry courtiers shouted, "Could it be that the people of Qin Tianjian are all suffering from eye disease?!" ”

Hearing this, Shi Shiran, a young official in his early twenties, stepped forward and said respectfully to King Liang: "Weichen is not talented, he is the deputy director of Qin Tianjian, and Weichen has the courage to watch the stars for His Majesty!" ”

King Liang saw that he was young, but his aura was extraordinary, and he couldn't help but feel a little more good for him in his heart, and agreed to let him go out of the palace to inspect the stars immediately!

After receiving the order of King Liang, the deputy director immediately got up and walked out of the main hall, standing on the high steps of the East Palace, raising his eyes and staring at the starry sky.

Not long after, King Liang also came out of the palace in person, followed by a number of ministers, and even the queen also came out.

Yu Ruyan also walked out of the hall behind Mu Lingzhi, and she stared at the deputy director of the prison rather nervously, hoping to get a different answer from his mouth.

As if sensing her nervousness, Mu Lingzhi took her hand and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, everything has me!" ”

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan suddenly remembered that he had told her before that he had his own way on Qin Tianjian's side. Immediately understood, this young deputy director of the prison is probably his person!

At this moment, the deputy director of the superintendent smiled and stretched out his hand to point to the vast starry sky in the north, making King Liang look at the brightest one, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please see, the Emperor Star is shining in a sea of stars, and it has the potential to compete with the bright moon, not to mention anything else?" Moreover, the dark clouds were blown away by the wind, and they could not hide the brilliance of the Emperor Star, so the Emperor Star was the head. The light cannot be blocked, this is in favor of the king's astrology, and His Majesty can rest assured. ”

Hearing his words, King Liang was suddenly in a good mood, looked up at the Emperor Star, and sure enough, as he said, the Emperor Star was very dazzling and bright.

King Liang asked, "Is the evil star that the former superintendent said last time still exist?" ”

Hearing this, the deputy director of the prison smiled indifferently and said, "As the saying goes, the stars are ever-changing, just like earthly things, nothing is immutable forever. Wei Chen didn't know what astrology it was before, but from the current point of view, the surroundings of Emperor Star were clear, and there was no disturbance from the evil stars. ”

As soon as these words came out, King Liang looked happy, but Mu Xiang and the eldest prince had dark faces, but no one dared to refute half of the sentence.

Back in the main hall, the deputy director of the prison has taken over the position of the former director of the prison and has become the youngest chief supervisor of the Qin Tianjian.

And after listening to the words of the superintendent, no one mentioned the matter of the evil star again!

Although she understood that most of the words of the superintendent were instructed by Mu Lingzhi, Yu Ruyan also put down a stone in her heart, no matter what, she didn't want to be regarded as a bad star that would bring disaster to the country and the people, and she didn't believe that she was a bad star that affected the fortunes of the country!

As a result, the ministers who had previously opposed the marriage of the two were silent. Seeing this, Mu Lingzhi stepped forward and pleaded with King Liang again: "Since there is no such thing as a bad star, then it proves that Yan Yan is not a bad star, so I also ask my father to allow me to marry her!" ”

Without waiting for King Liang to speak, the queen said coldly: "Even if she is not a bad star, but the matter of Qin Xianglou has not been clarified, and she is still burdened with the identity of a suspect, how can she marry you and marry into the royal family?" ”

Mu Lingzhi seemed to be waiting for this sentence, he smiled slowly and said: "Queen Mother, is it just to prove that Qin Xianglou was not done by her, and the murderer is someone else, will the Queen Mother agree to our marriage?" ”

Hear the words. The queen looked stunned----

She just didn't like Yu Ruyan, especially after seeing with her own eyes that she wouldn't shed tears, the ominous rumors about her took root in her heart, whether there was a bad star and Qin Xianglou or not, she didn't agree.

Even if it was just a rumor, she would not be willing to risk her son, not to mention that there were countless rumors about the fate of Shakfu among the people.

Therefore, when she brought up the matter of Qin Xianglou, she was just looking for an excuse to refuse their request, but she didn't expect to be asked by Mu Lingzhi.

Yu Mingzhu, who was sitting next to the eldest prince, trembled all over her body after hearing Mu Lingzhi's words, and her face turned pale in an instant.

She immediately turned around to look at Mu Ziyue who was sitting under her, her face was flustered, and Mu Ziyue was also flustered.

But she was calmer than Yu Mingzhu, quietly approached, gritted her teeth and said: "That day, we didn't leave any evidence, and they deliberately deceived us, so the more this time, the more calm we must be, don't mess up by yourself, and show their handles for them to find out." ”

Yu Mingzhu's mind went blank. She held Mu Ziyue's hand tightly with both hands, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly thought of something, and asked Mu Ziyue in horror, did she find the name of the old bustard in the death list of Qin Xianglou last time.

Mu Ziyue looked stunned, thought about it carefully, shook her head very slowly, and said coldly: "---- she recognizes you?!" ”

Yu Mingzhu's whole body trembled like chaff, gritted her teeth, and trembled: "Maybe!" ”

With a chill in her heart, Mu Ziyue also broke out in a cold sweat all over her body, and she couldn't help but feel more disgust and coldness in her eyes when she looked at Yu Mingzhu. The voice also cooled down, and the tone was resentful and angry: "Why did the side concubine only think of this stubble at this time?" Is it still useful to think about it now? If they really find the bustard, let's sit and die! ”

Sure enough, their guess was correct. Seeing that Queen Xie was reluctant to reply for a long time, Mu Ling said: "Queen Mother, in the case of Qin Xianglou, we have found the old bustard Qiu's mother who survived that day, and this Qiu's mother happened to have seen the person who set the fire with her own eyes, so as long as she comes out to identify the real arsonist, the truth of Qin Xianglou's case will be revealed." ”

After that, the eyes as deep as a cold pool glanced coldly at the jade pearl who was sitting on the side. Eyes like blades, flying towards her!

And Yu Ruyan's eyes also looked at Yu Mingzhu coldly, making her whole body tremble, she couldn't support it anymore, and she saw that her body was about to fall backwards, and she was silently supported by Mu Ziyue on the side

After hearing Qiu's mother's name, Mu Ziyue was also terrified. But in the end, she blamed Yu Mingzhu in her mouth, but she understood in her heart that now they are grasshoppers on a rope, and whoever has an accident will involve the other party, and in the end, no one can escape. Jade Pearl is fine. She is the only one who wants to die. And if something happens to her, the entire Mufu will suffer with her, so she must not let Yu Mingzhu have an accident.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and whispered a few words to the Marie beside her, and when the Marian heard the change, she hurriedly covered herself and retreated, and quietly came to the women's seat at the very end, muttering a few words in the ear of Mrs. Yiqing, Yiqing's expression also changed greatly, and after a while, she nodded slightly at Mu Ziyue, who was nervous, and her hand was already quietly poking into the cuffs.

See here. Mu Ziyue's hanging heart fell back into her chest, and she turned around and told Yu Mingzhu to let her put her mind at ease, the matter has been resolved!

On the other side, after listening to Mu Lingzhi's words, King Liang was very surprised, and at the same time he also wanted to know, if the person who set the fire was not Yu Ruyan, who would the real culprit be?

So King Liang waved his hand and said, "Since you have evidence, call the old bustard up and see what she said?" ”

Before this, Mu Lingzhi had asked the people from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to go to the other garden to bring Mother Qiu into the palace, and he estimated that they would almost receive Mother Qiu back to the palace at this hour. So they were called into the temple and consecrated.

Watching the palace people go down to invite people, Yu Ruyan became inexplicably nervous, and Yu Mingzhu was even more afraid of panic to the point that her whole body trembled, although Mu Ziyue had told her that the matter had been resolved, she was still afraid in her heart, thinking of the consequences of the revelation of the matter, she was upside down with hair all over her body, and after Daqi witnessed her mother being divided by five horses, she didn't want to face such a tragic end

Seeing her description, Mu Ziyue was afraid that she would not be able to control her gaffe, so she gritted her teeth and said in her ear: "If you don't want to die, calm down, I have asked the master to shoot poison needles at the old bustard when she comes in." So the old bustard will die quietly in front of His Majesty, you must be steady, don't show your feet! ”

Hearing her, Yu Mingzhu took a breath in her heart, and she pretended to be drunk and half lying on the table, so as not to let everyone see the panic on her face.

Everyone looked at the door with blank eyes, waiting for the witness Qiu's mother to come in, and even put down the wine glass in his hand after drinking a glass of wine that had been cold all night, and looked at the door of the hall uncertainly, feeling conflicted, hoping that the witness would appear and solve the grievances on Yu Ruyan's body. But when she thought that she would have no obstacles to clear her grievances, she could marry Mu Lingzhi smoothly, and she didn't look forward to the appearance of witnesses

However, everyone waited for a short time and no one came in, Mu Lingzhi showed a suspicious look on his face, and was about to go to the outside of the palace to see it in person, but he saw the squire of the criminal department come in in person, and knelt in front of Mu Lingzhi and King Liang wet, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the lower official has been instructed by the Third Majesty to personally take someone to His Highness's Villa to get a certificate, but"

From the moment the criminal servant came in alone. Mu Lingzhi already had a bad premonition, and he asked coldly: "The person is in the annex of the main palace, and Lord Shilang actually returned empty-handed, what happened?" ”

I didn't see anyone to witness Qiu's mother, Yu Ruyan's heart froze, and she turned her head to look at Yu Mingzhu as soon as possible, and her heart suddenly jumped up suddenly, and her heart was suffocated!

When the waiter of the Criminal Department heard Mu Lingzhi's questioning, he showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "When Weichen took someone to the other garden to get the witness, the witness was no longer there."

Hearing this, everyone in the audience was shocked, and Yu Mingzhu, who had been pretending to be drunk and lying on the table, sat up from the table happily when she heard that the witness was missing, and looked at Mu Ziyue beside her in surprise.

Mu Ziyue was also overjoyed, and whispered to her and laughed: "Look, God is helping us!" ”

And Yiqing, who had been holding the poison needle in his hand, also slowly put away the poison needle, and ate by himself with a casual face, as if he didn't care about what happened in the field at all.

I heard that the witness was missing, and Mu Lingzhi and Yu Ruyan were both stagnant. In the next second, Mu Lingzhi stepped forward coldly and said, "People have been staying in the palace all the time, and there are secret guards guarding them, why are they gone?" What happened? ”

His eyes hesitated and glanced at Yu Ruyan, and the official of the Criminal Department sighed: "The lower official heard from the people in His Royal Highness's Villa that the witness Qiu's mother suddenly disappeared at night, but in the end, she picked up the woman's shoes on the side of the cliff in the back mountain of the villa, and it seemed that she escaped at night and fell off the cliff, and the subordinates of the other garden recognized that the shoes belonged to the witness Qiu's mother, and we also picked up a string of beads and hairpins on the edge of the cliff, but it was the princess's personal ring."

"Brother An?" Hearing him mention Brother An, Yu Ruyan looked stunned, she didn't understand it all of a sudden, she didn't doubt him, and asked: "Did she see Mother Qiu fall off the cliff with her own eyes?" ”

Mu Lingzhi, who was on the side, had changed his face greatly, he had already understood the meaning of the waiter's words, and couldn't help but look at Yu Ruyan nervously, and was about to say something to stop the waiter from continuing, but the waiter of the criminal department had already spoken.

According to the people in the other garden, the princess's personal maid fell off the cliff together when she was pulling with Qiu's mother. And His Royal Highness's attendant copper coin also jumped down after the two of them fell, and the lower official led people to take a detour to the bottom of the cliff to look for it, but "

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Yu Ruyan couldn't bear it anymore and fainted
