Yu Ruyan stopped Yue Yu, who was about to leave, and said with a solemn expression: "I still have something that Prince Yi needs to help me find out!" ”

Since Yue Yu confessed all the previous things to her that day, not only Mu Lingzhi was there, but also when the two were alone, Yu Ruyan never called him 'Brother Yue' again, and even followed Mu Lingzhi to call him 'Brother Wing', but he kept calling him 'Prince Wing'!

Listening to such a title in Yue Yu's heart, it made him feel uncomfortable!

He knew that the moment she knew who he really was, their relationship would never go back to what it used to be. [No pop-ups. 】

Turning back, Yue Yu described the insipidity with a few feelings of guilt, and the momentum around his body was no longer as sharp as that in the face of Mu Xiang, in front of her, he would never be ruthless, but also for her, let go of decades of national hatred and family hatred

Clearing his throat, he looked at her with gentle eyes, and asked softly, "If there is anything you can say." Is it uncomfortable to live here? Don't worry, when the public trial is over tomorrow, you will be released from prison immediately, and please bear with me for the time being."

"I want to ask Prince Yi to help me clear a case."

Yu Ruyan interrupted Yue Yu's words and said slowly: "This case is about the sudden death of the Chen guard next to the prince, as well as the death of his daughter Chen Yanfei. I suspect that they also died at the hands of Mu Ziyue and Yiqing Shitai. ”

Yue Yu nodded seriously after hearing this, and said, "I'll help you find out right away, don't worry"

"I don't have to look it up, because I already have the evidence. Prince Yi only needs to bring this case forward in the public trial tomorrow! ”

Yu Ruyan quietly opened her big empty eyes and looked at the direction where Yue Yu's voice came from, although she couldn't see with her eyes, her mind was unusually clear!

Without waiting for Yue Yu to speak, she spoke again----

Her voice was soft and indifferent, but in the coldness of this cell, there was a few more piercing feelings for no reason!

When Uncle Chen died at that time, it was also very sudden, and listening to Chen's mother's description, he probably died under Yiqing's poisonous needle. So just open his coffin and check the real cause of his death to see if the poison in his body is the same as the poison quenched by Yiqing with the silver needle on his body. ”

After listening to the clues she gave, Yue Yu nodded seriously and wrote it down.

"As for Chen Yanfei----"

Speaking of this, Yu Ruyan suddenly stopped and said to Chunhua and Qiuyue: "You go down and make a pot of tea!" ”

Her meaning was very clear, and the next words were to avoid even the cronies and maids around her.

The two maids were slightly stunned when they heard this, and Yue Yu's face changed, and his expression was a little nervous.

After Chunhua and Qiuyue went down as they said, Yu Ruyan said straight to the point: "Uncle Chen's family died for no reason, all because Chen Yanfei had handled a drawing, and this drawing is the road map paper that Mu Ziyang ventured into the prison a few days ago to take---- presumably, the drawing that is the only clue to the assassination of the prince three years ago is on the body of the wing at the moment!" ”

Yue Yu's mind was transparent, and when he heard this, he had already thought of something in an instant, his hands couldn't help clenching tightly, his voice was weak, and he replied softly: "This thing is the only evidence that identifies Mu Ziyang as betraying the prince, I must keep it well."

"That's it!"

Yu Ruyan smiled very lightly, and said in a slightly cool tone: "Prince Yi has such strong evidence in hand, do you want to use this evidence to subdue Mu Ziyang, who betrayed the prince's itinerary three years ago?" Or do you want to use this incident to find out the real murderer who really killed the prince? ”

Hearing this, Yue Yu's breath stagnated, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Yu Ruyan in front of him in disbelief, although her eyes couldn't see, but in front of her, it seemed that everything was so thorough that it couldn't be hidden

Although she couldn't see the description on Yue Yu's face, she had already guessed his expression at the moment.

She continued to say slowly: "Listening to Ling Zhi, the assassination three years ago was extremely tragic, the guards around the prince were all in different places, and the prince's car was blown apart by gunpowder, and the prince felt that who would have such a great hatred for the prince back then, and to be so ruthless to a young child?" ”

Yue Yu's whole body was cold, his lips were spurting hard, and he couldn't say a word

The light smile on Yu Ruyan's face carried a hint of understanding, "Before, Chen Yanfei deliberately told me in front of the knife that the assassination operation three years ago was done by Ling Zhi. At that time, watching her take out this drawing with Ling Zhi's handwriting made me believe everything she had soiled."

"Presumably. At that time, the knife hiding in the shadows also believed in Chen Yanfei's defilement, so he had a lot of resentment against Ling Zhi later, and later the two brothers openly turned against each other, which almost caused a catastrophe."

"Prince Yi, Ling Zhi has said you in front of me more than once, saying that you are the person he admires the most in his life, and it is precisely because of this that in the past ten years, he has no longer celebrated the Cold Rui Festival, and it is even more because of the sword that stabbed you at the beginning, which made him feel an indelible guilt for you in his heart."

"Because of the grievances of the previous generation ten years ago, he felt guilty about you for the rest of his life. And because of me, he felt guilty about the knife. And because of the arrow that shot at my sedan chair back then, and the thing that blinded me now, he felt guilty about me and everyone again. is obviously the most affectionate and righteous person in the world, but he lives the most tiring In fact, he is the most pitiful person"

Speaking of Mu Lingzhi, Yu Ruyan was heartbroken and heartbroken for him, and it was precisely because of her understanding of him that she felt heartache that the cold-blooded and cruel undefeated god of war in the eyes of outsiders actually had a pain that outsiders didn't know

She knows him best, so she also feels the most sorry for him

There was silence in the cell

For a long time, Yu Ruyan didn't say a word, and Yue Yu didn't speak again, and for a while, both of them fell into this terrible silence

After a long time, Yue Yu's dry voice sounded again in the cell----

"I'll admit what I've done. Tomorrow, I will personally go to King Liang, the crown prince and Ling Zhi to admit the assassination three years ago, as long as the misunderstanding between the prince and Ling Zhi is resolved, the resentment between their brothers will be resolved."

When Yue Yu finally admitted that he had done the assassination three years ago, Yu Ruyan's face was calm and she didn't feel shocked at all!

Looking at her with a clear look, Yue Yu's heart was shocked, and his voice trembled: "You already know? ”

Yu Ruyan exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity in her chest, and said indifferently in her voice: "I didn't know it was you before, but when Mu Ziyang came to the prison late at night to look for drawings, I suddenly realized that you were the one who assassinated the knife three years ago."

"Because of this drawing, not many people in the world know about it, except for King Liang, Xiaodao, Ling Zhi and Mu Ziyang, who stole the drawing, there is one more person who knows Xiao, and that is the assassin who finally got the drawing from Mu Ziyang."

"On that day, not only did you recognize the drawing at a glance, but you also knew that the drawing belonged to Mu Ziyang. also concealed this matter from Ling Zhi. So, it's not hard to guess that you're the assassin who made the deal with him. But listening to Mu Ziyang's tone, he didn't know that the assassin was you."

"All this, Prince Yi did it seamlessly, and he didn't leave any evidence, even if I know all this now, I'm afraid I can't convince King Liang that you are the one who planned to kill Xiaodao three years ago, so"

"So you're afraid I won't admit it, right?" Yue Yu's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but laugh bitterly at himself. Looking at the unusually intelligent woman in front of him, he felt more and more guilty to the point of self-embarrassment

When more and more truths surfaced, Yue Yu felt that he no longer had any face to face Yu Ruyan, and he became more and more ashamed of himself.

His face was dark, and he said in a bitter voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely go to King Liang and the crown prince to confess everything, and return Ling Zhi's innocence."

"No!" Yu Ruyan interrupted his words loudly, and said in a cool voice: "There are some things, maybe Ling Zhi already knows it, he is smarter than me, he doesn't say it, it is precisely because he cherishes the hard-won ice release between you, King Liang, and him."

Hearing this, Yue Yu, whose heart was like ashes, was stunned, and looked at Yu Ruyan with some incomprehension.

Yu Ruyan continued: "I'll tell you this today. I don't want Prince Yi to accept punishment for the wrong things he has done, after all, what King Liang did to your parents is more hateful than what you did to your parents."

"The grievances and grievances between you and King Liang and the entire Liang royal family are no longer able to distinguish who is right and who is wrong. At the end of the day, you're just a victim of the mutiny 10 years ago. ”

"And now, you are willing to let go of your hatred, and King Liang is also willing to let you go, this situation is exactly what Ling Zhi has always hoped to see, his wish for so many years is to hope that you can forgive King Liang, forgive him, and forgive the harm caused to you by the Liang royal family. Be a brother with you again."

"It is precisely because of this that what I want to say today is to hope that Prince Yi will keep the dust of three years ago in his heart and rot in his heart, and no one will say it again. Don't let this double-edged sword hurt you, and also hurt the hard-won brotherhood between Ling Zhi and you."

Hearing this, Yue Yu's heart was shocked, and he looked at Yu Ruyan's indifferent but stunning face in the dim cell, not only shocked in his heart, but also couldn't help but feel endless envy for Mu Lingzhi----

Life has a confidant and dies without regrets, but Mu Lingzhi can get Yu Ruyan is the greatest happiness.

Everyone in the world only saw Mu Lingzhi abandon the world, the country and the supreme power for the sake of Yu Ruyan, but they didn't know that compared to these dead things. The woman in front of her is the rarest treasure in the world!

After a long time, he said in a low voice: "I promise you!" ”

After that, he had no shame to face her anymore, and fled in a hurry

On the second day, Dali Temple officially tried Mu Ziyue and his party, and King Liang and the prince and Xie Anhou and others, heard that Dali Temple found out the real cause of Queen Xie's death, and they all rushed to Dali Temple to participate in the public trial, plus other ministers also rushed to watch, the number of people was too large, and the people of the entire eastern capital also rushed to Dali Temple to watch when they heard the news.

In the end, because there were too many people in the scene, the prince proposed that the public hall be moved to the vast school field at the main gate of Dali Temple.

King Liang and the princes and ministers sat on the high steps. The empty floor below, which was separated by the Yulin Army, was crowded with the people of the Eastern Capital.

The entire school field was crowded with people, and everyone couldn't wait to wait for the Qin Xianglou case and the murder case of Empress Xie, which had been watching and stirring up the whole city for a long time, and hoped that the final verdict would be made here today.

Yue Yu sat upright in front of the hall, his cool eyes slowly swept through the crowd, and as the startling wood in his hand fell, the noisy and lively scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone waited quietly for the interrogation to begin.

The five criminals were escorted up, and Yu Ruyan was also among the criminals, kneeling in front of the hall with the other four.

Mu Xiang and the eldest prince Mu Yunzhi were all present, and even Mrs. Mu and the ladies of the eldest prince's mansion also covered their faces and quietly appeared in the crowd under the leadership of Yu Wan.

And Mu Ziyue's personal maid Stacky, and Xiaoqing, the once jade maid, also hid in the group in fear to watch.

This public trial is also the largest public trial since the founding of the Liang Dynasty.

It's not so much a public trial, it's more like a final verdict, because Yue Yu doesn't need Mu Ziyue and them to admit their crimes or not, the evidence is conclusive, he just told the world the crimes they did.

He read out the four people's crimes one by one with a serious expression, starting from Mu Ziyue, Yu Mingyan and Yiqing pretending to be jade girls, to setting fire to Qin Xianglou and killing people's lives, and then to provoking the relationship between the prince and the three princes, framing the three princes and killing the Chen family, the guards of the East Palace, and then to the revelation of the jade girl's affairs, and then the Gu mutilated the queen to kill people and then blame Yu Ruyan

And among these appalling crimes, it is also involved that Mu Ziyang stole the prince's travel drawings and betrayed the prince three years ago, so that the prince was assassinated

One by one, listening to the ears of King Liang and the people of the world, it is simply heartbroken and incredible. And every time Yue Yu talks about something, he will ask the people of Dali Temple to present evidence, and these evidences are corpses placed on the ground

When King Liang learned that Queen Xie had died under the Huangquan Gu, he was so angry that he almost got up from the soft chariot, and he wanted to crush the bones of the three poisonous scorpion-hearted women in front of him, and Xie Anhou was so angry that he couldn't help but step forward, and kicked the three kneeling people to the ground with one kick, if he didn't want them to die so happily, he would have already drawn his sword and killed them one by one.

After a few days of torture in the torture room of Dali Temple, Yu Mingzhu and Mu Ziyue were no longer human, scarred and covered in blood

Mu Ziyue's broken left eye was eroded and pus because it had not been diagnosed, and the once beautiful pair of apricot eyes, the entire eyeball of the left eye was rotten, flowing with thick and yellow pus, as if it was about to fall out of the eye socket, which really made people feel sick and want to vomit.

And her right wrist, which was broken by Mu Lingzhi, was also twisted and weirdly exposed because it was not connected in time. The slender ten fingers, because of the torture, were swollen like carrots that were about to rot, bleeding constantly, and their bodies were also scarred, exuding a rotten stench. Describe the horror of the anomalous.

Jade Mingzhu, who was kneeling next to her, was also miserable----

On that day, she was personally poured into the 'white bone wither' by Mu Yunzhi, the eldest prince who she regarded as a beloved, not only lost her hard-earned child, but also scratched her cheeks all over her body when she was poisoned, and she couldn't find a single intact skin on her body.

In these days in the cell, she had just had a miscarriage, and she was sitting on Xiaoyue's body, but she endured severe torture every day, and her whole body was so rotten that it was pitted, bleeding and suppurating, not to mention, she was already dying, and she collapsed on the ground and couldn't kneel straight

After Mrs. Yiqing's tendons and veins were cut off by a knife, she also suffered a lot, and she knew that there were too many lives in her hands. And the queen died directly in the palm of her hand, and she had expected that her fate must be the most tragic, so she had already died in prison countless times----

Hitting walls, biting tongues, hunger strikes, and hanging themselves

But every time she was found by the jailer and stopped in time, and finally the jailer hung her directly on the wall of the torture cell day and night, hand-to-hand and foot-chained with barbs, so that she felt pain to the bone marrow when she moved, and her mouth was stuffed with a wooden cork

In fact, even if she didn't stuff something in her mouth, she couldn't bite her tongue anymore to kill herself, because from the first time she bit her tongue and killed herself. The jailer had unceremoniously broken her white fangs

Mu Ziyang was not much better than the three women in front of him.

He was beaten to the bottom of his body by 30 boards in front of his cell, and later, in the process of extorting confessions, the jailers also showed no mercy and threw him into a vat full of spirits. The stick wound on the lower half of his body was already painful to the bone marrow, and then soaked in stimulating spirits, it was even more painful to the heartbreak, and it was the name of this punishment that ---- drunken bones.

Even if he is a martial arts practitioner, he can't bear such a painful punishment to the bone marrow, but he can't die

Looking at his own pair of children, the proud sons and daughters of the Son of Heaven in the past, holding the pearl in the palm of his hand, but now he is such an inhuman and ghostly, and then listening to the one more terrifying crime in Yue Yu's mouth, Mu Xiang's heart became cramped again, his face was as pale as ashes, and he was about to faint, but there was an exclamation from beside him---- but Mrs. Mu couldn't stand the blow, and fainted in front of him

In the anger of the people, King Liang personally sentenced Mu Ziyue and Jade Mingzhu to split the corpses, and the murderous Yiqing Shitai was killed with a thousand knives, and Mu Ziyang was ----

King Liang was about to open his mouth to execute him, but Mu Xiang couldn't bear it anymore and knelt on the ground, knelt forward, lay in front of King Liang and wept bitterly, begging King Liang to open up. Leave them the last incense of the Mu family, and leave Mu Ziyang with a small life!

The prime minister of the two dynasties, the minister of power in the world, usually even the king of Liang has to give him three points, but today in front of the people of the whole eastern capital, prostrate on the ground, kowtow to the king of Liang and beg for mercy, crying so much that the old tears are all over the place, a handful of snot and tears

He is old, and he has such a son under his knees, if Mu Ziyang dies, their Mu family will really cut off the incense.

However, Mu Xiang didn't know. Mu Ziyang's lower body was seriously injured, and coupled with the soaking of spirits, it had already hurt the root, even if he left a small life, he could not do anything and continue the incense

Mu Xiang cried miserably, but no one sympathized with him, Xiaodao stepped forward and looked at him coldly, and said coldly: "Mu Xiang is reluctant to give up your son, but have you ever thought that if it wasn't for the great life of this palace three years ago, he would have been killed by him, such a big crime, it is a great grace for the father to not let your whole family punish him, and dare to let his father spare his life!" ”

Xie Anhou was even more angry, and also knelt in front of King Liang, and said: "Your Majesty, Mu Xiang can be called an example for the ministers, but the things that the children who taught him have lost their conscience. Framing the prince, mutilating the queen, doing all the bad things, according to the criminal law of Daliang, it should be sentenced to the nine clans of Mufu! Your Majesty, please be sure to severely punish the wicked to avenge the blood hatred of the queen! ”

Listening to Xie Anhou's words, Mu Xiang's whole body trembled like a residual leaf in the wind, trembling so much that he couldn't say a word. In desperation. involuntarily looked back at Mu Yunzhi, the eldest prince who had been pulling his eyelids and had been silent, and desperately gave him a look and asked him to come forward to speak for him.

Now, such a big thing on Mujiatan is about to be punished by the Nine Clans. Mu Yunzhi was willing to help Mu Xiang speak again.

But he turned his mind to the shady things he had done with Mu Xiang, if he did too much, angered Mu Xiang, and let him expose the collusion between them, I was afraid that he would not be able to eat and walk away.

Not to mention anything else, just the twenty taels of silver in the southern disaster area, as well as the life of the minister, if his father knows, I am afraid that he will also be dead

Thinking of this, Mu Yunzhi gritted his teeth and stiffened his neck and pleaded for Mu Xiang: "Father." The wrong thing that Mu Ziyue and Mu Ziyang did, presumably Mu Xiang must not have known about it. He is a talented minister of the two dynasties, and he is the minister of our Liang, although he is responsible for negligence, but the crime will not punish the nine clans, and please think twice! ”

Looking at the kneeling people below, King Liang's brows furrowed tightly, and he looked at the white-haired wooden face in embarrassment, and it was really difficult to make a decision in his heart.

Involuntarily, he looked at Yue Yu who was standing quietly on the side again, and asked, "What advice does the virtuous nephew have?" ”

Looking at Mu Xiang and the eldest prince Mu Yunzhi in front of her, Yue Yu's heart was cold, but she didn't wait for her to speak. Yu Ruyan, who had been helped to stand up and remove the locks on her body, suddenly spoke coldly.

She can't see all living beings with her eyes, but everyone's face is very clear in her heart----

With a cold smile, she said coldly: "Ruyan still remembers that when the eldest prince was beheaded by Ruyan in prison, he kept saying that the Son of Heaven was guilty of the same crime as the common people, and even the three princes had to pay for their crimes with death because they robbed the law field, Mu Ziyue killed so many people, and there were only twenty-seven people in Qin Xianglou alone, and the corpses were placed on half a street, isn't this evil behavior enough to make Mu Xiang, who is a father, take the blame and receive punishment?" What's more, he went directly to the East Palace to kill people and frame the prince, and even the queen didn't let go. Such cruel and bold, Mu Xiang even dared to beg for mercy to spare your son from dying!? ”

Yu Ruyan didn't want the lives of other people in Mufu, but she was going to decide the lives of Mu Ziyue and Mu Ziyang!

asked Mu Ziyue to pay for her life, not only to vent her grievances, but also for Chen's mother's last entrustment.

And asking for Mu Ziyang's life is to avenge Brother An, revenge for his play and abandonment, and his revenge for causing Brother An to lose the right to be a mother.

Yu Ruyan's short words completely aroused the indignation of the people, and they asked King Liang to execute Mu Ziyang.

And Yue Yu also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, among so many incidents, it is the fifth princess Yu Ruyan who has suffered the most and suffered the most. Before, all these charges were smeared on her body, making her blind in vain, and suffering endless accusations and infamy, and several of them almost lost their lives. Now, the truth is out. As the injured party, the fifth princess should also ask for an explanation for the injustice she has suffered. ”

Xiaodao also interjected on the side: "Prince Yi is reasonable, my sister has been hurt enough by them, and she has the most power to speak." ”

After listening to the words of the two, King Liang felt guilty for Yu Ruyan in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "This vicious master has already given her Ling Chi to be executed, and Yu Mingzhu and Mu Ziyue are also five horses, only Mu Ziyang." It's up to you to decide how you want to punish you! ”

As soon as King Liang's voice fell, the audience was silent, and everyone looked at Yu Ruyan to see what she was going to do with Mu Ziyang?

Everyone's eyes fell on her, even Mu Ziyang and Mu Ziyue, who were kneeling on the ground and already looked dead, looked at her with a bad look.

Mrs. Mu, who woke up, saw that her son's power of life and death was actually in the hands of Yu Ruyan, even though she knew that the chance of letting her let her son go was only one in 10,000, she still couldn't help but pounce on Yu Ruyan and knelt down, knocking her head heavily towards her, grabbing the corner of her skirt and begging bitterly: "Fifth princess, living bodhisattva, please let go of your child's life in large quantities, I am over half a hundred years old today." There is such a son under his knees, let the Bodhisattva spare the child, as long as he can leave his life, the princess will let me do anything, I can be a slave and a slave, a cow and a horse."

Mrs. Mu's voice of sorrow and pleading made people cry, but it couldn't touch Yu Ruyan's firm heart.

After listening to her keep saying that their Mu family would be broken, the hatred in Yu Ruyan's heart was even worse, a cold flashed in her empty eyes, and she suddenly said coldly: "Mrs. Mu, do you remember Brother An?!" ”

Her abrupt words stunned Mrs. Mu, who was crying bitterly. She raised her bleeding forehead and looked at Yu Ruyan with some confusion, feeling that the name she said was familiar but couldn't remember it for a while.

"Huh." didn't wait for her to remember who Brother An was. Yu Ruyan already snorted coldly: "A year ago, Brother An, the personal girl next to me, was deceived by your good son in order to find me, but after being pregnant with the flesh and blood of your Mu family, you were sold into Qin Xianglou. The child in the womb was tortured to death in Brother An's belly Mrs. Limu, you killed your own grandson's life with your own hands, but now you keep begging me for your Mu family's incense, don't you think it's ridiculous? ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Mu was completely stunned, her body fell to the ground limply, and she couldn't say a word anymore.

Seeing her mother kneeling in front of Yu Ruyan and kowtowing and begging for mercy like this, Mu Ziyue's heart was like a knife, she herself couldn't escape death anyway, but she couldn't see her elderly parents suffering humiliation here because of her, she couldn't help gritting her teeth and said to Yu Ruyan with hatred: "Yu Ruyan, the person who harmed you was just me Mu Ziyue from beginning to end, and now I am convinced that I am defeated in your hands, but my brother and my parents have not harmed you, if you have a conscience, you should not implicate the innocent"

"Are they innocent?"

Listening to Mu Ziyue's words, Yu Ruyan couldn't help laughing, and she said word by word: "On the day of the prince's seal ceremony, when the altar collapsed, but your good brother injured my foot with a stone, and looked at me being stoned to death by the altar, and your father colluded with Jian Tianqin to slander me as a bad star in a troubled world, which thing did they do not take my life?!" ”

And to Yu Ruyan's aggressive question, Mu Ziyue's face turned pale, and Mu Xiang and Mu Ziyang looked even more dead.

"And your mother is even more ruthless, and she can not let go of pregnant women, your Mu family deserves to be cut off!"

As soon as Yu Ruyan said this, Mrs. Mu was completely desperate, and she couldn't help crying bitterly, and cried at Mu Xiang, who was petrified on the side: "Master, save Yang'er, he is the only son of our Mu family." ”

Mu Xiang's majestic face was already in a state of panic, but at this moment, he couldn't say a word anymore, and collapsed to the ground in a daze, his face like ashes

Yu Ruyan said indifferently: "Your Majesty, the law shows that those who murder the emperor's heir are guilty of death. Think about the suffering of the prince before, think about the pain of His Majesty and the queen, so Mu Ziyang deserves death for ---- crime! ”

As soon as these words came out, the dust settled!

And Mu Lingzhi has been so busy since noon yesterday that he has not seen anyone, until this moment, he has not appeared in the public trial field, and no one knows where he has gone
