When everyone arrived at Dali Temple, Wu Mingkai came out with people to greet them.

Tuoba Chen said: "Lord Wu is conscientious, late at night, and he also arrests people to try the case, which really touches me. ”

Wu Mingkai said without changing his face: "The minister received a report, saying that Lord Su was looking for sexual trouble in Wanhualou, and slandered the saint, so he arrested people overnight, but it turned out that the minister did not catch the wrong person, Lord Su has already recruited, and the minister found this thing in Lord Su's mansion, and found the craftsman's family, and the family has also admitted that it was the silver taels of Lord Su that stopped the crime for Lord Su, and now the human and material evidence is gathered, according to the minister's opinion, the case can be judged." ”

Tuoba Chen looked at the tokens and drawings presented by his subordinates, his heart beat wildly, and after a while, he heard his own voice say: "Did Su Bingren mention anything else?" ”

Wu Mingkai shook his head and said, "No." ”

Tuoba Chen slowly closed his eyes, waved his hand and said: "Since Lord Wu has found out, I naturally believe in Lord Wu, and tomorrow I will issue an order, Su Bingren will bully the monarch and be sentenced to death." ”

Wu Mingkai leaned over and kowtowed, "Your Majesty is wise—"

On the second day, it was found that Su Bingren had died in the prison of Dali Temple, and at the same time it was found that he had left a bloody letter, admitting that he had falsified evidence, but no one instructed him, and pointed out that the military map found in Mu Wangfu was not his own doing, so Mu Wangfu still could not clear his name.

This incident almost caused an uproar in the entire capital, and no one could have imagined that the things that had already settled down would be reversed in this way.

The emperor was furious and hung Su Bingren's body in front of the noon gate, and at the same time ordered Dali Temple to re-investigate the case of Mu Wangfu that year.

Everyone in the DPRK and China praised Tuoba Chen's wisdom.

But there is another saying among the people, which is quietly circulating, that is, Su Bingren himself said that Mu Wangfu was eliminated because he was jealous of His Majesty, and what kind of treason with the enemy is just a trumped-up charge, and Su Bingren's death is just a scapegoat like that craftsman.

Such a statement has become more and more intense, and it has even been made into a nursery rhyme and sung everywhere:

The king of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Zhongliang, millions of Yangzhou cried and broke his intestines.

The loyal ministers died, the king panicked, and the traitorous ministers asked for their sins and had no clothes.

It has almost reached the point where everyone sings, obviously saying that during the Southern Song Dynasty, Qin Hui framed Yue Fei, but the deep meaning in the secret is afraid that everyone knows it.

On the Wu Mansion, a person was sitting in front of the desk, carefully tasting the fragrant tea in his hand, Wu Mingkai sat opposite, looked at the handsome man in front of him with heavy eyes, and said, "His Royal Highness King Xian, why did you let me change my testimony?" ”

Yes, Su Bingren did admit it, but the thing he admitted was that it was His Majesty today, Tuoba Chen, who instructed him to fabricate evidence and frame Mu Wangfu, but Tuoba Yue changed Wu Mingkai's confession.

Tuoba Yue squeezed the hand of the tea cup, gently opened the cup, saw the leaves soaked in water and slowly stretched, and said: "Everyone likes tea but not water, just because this tea has a taste, and sometimes, it is not good to be too clear, Lord Wu said?" Lord Wu felt guilty about the Mu Wangfu case back then, and this king was too, and loyal and virtuous people should not have ended up like this. ”

Wu Mingkai looked at Tuoba Yue with sharp eyes and said: "The prince is really different from what the official thinks, he can get the evidence before the prime minister, it seems that the prince has already been on guard." ”

Tuoba Yue got up and said, "It's just a coincidence, this king still has something to do, so he won't stay." ”

Wu Mingkai also knew that he couldn't ask again, so he got up and gave it away.

In Jinse Garden, He Xi was sorting out the books, and when she noticed the footsteps behind her, she thought it was Ruyi, so she said, "Ruyi, I put the Book of Poetry on the bed for me." ”

However, the footsteps behind her did not move, and she turned around suspiciously, and crashed into a pair of deep eyes, from which she saw her own smile and joy, so strange.

"What do you do in search of poetry?"

He turned around and took the book of poetry, but he didn't want to slip a letterhead from the title page, Tuoba Yue wanted to pick it up, but he didn't want He Xi to take two steps forward to pick it up, and said, "Why is the prince here." ”

Tuoba Yue's eyes flashed slightly, and he saw two words written on the letterhead - Yao Jin.

He said in a deep voice: "Rare and strange Langji, Yao Jin and Xi, are all beautiful jade. ”

He Xi stuffed the paper into the book in a little panic and said, "I just wrote it nonsense, which made the prince laugh." ”

Tuoba Chen said: "In a few days, you will return to the palace, today I will take you to a place-"

He Xi said with some curiosity: "Where are you going?" ”

Tuoba Yue said with a rare gentleness: "Naturally, you will know when you go, go and change your clothes, and we will set off now." ”

Ruyi stood aside and snickered, and before He Xi could react, he stepped forward and pulled He Xi and said: "Little master, you have been suffocating in this mountain for a long time these days, I thought that I could relax my mind when I came out this time, but I didn't want the autumn rain to fall for a few days, and finally the weather was sunny today, so it was good to go to enjoy the autumn." ”

He Xi was pulled down by her behind the screen, Tuoba Chen measured his body and listened to Suosuo's voice behind the screen, endured the irritability in his heart, and walked out of the hall.

When He Xi came out, he had already changed into a clean and refreshing outfit, and his hair was also tied up like that of an ordinary folk woman, but he had a white hosta hairpin with a clear body, and there was no other decoration, but it was more and more beautiful and frightening.

Tuoba Yue took her out of the palace from the path, and at the side gate of the palace, there was a white horse, He Xi couldn't help but be surprised: "Since the prince is already planning to take me down the mountain, why only has one horse prepared?" ”

Tuoba Yue's smile was like a clear spring, soft and clear, he suddenly stepped forward, grabbed He Xi's waist, jumped up, sat lightly on the horse, He Xi covered his lips and exclaimed, and with his other hand, subconsciously protected his abdomen.

Tuoba Yue didn't move lightly and half-stopped her in his arms and said: "Although you also know a little about riding, but this mountain road is rugged and slippery after the autumn rain, so it's safer." ”

The two were so close to each other that He Xi could even feel that when he spoke, his chest shook slightly, and a touch of red glow went up the road along the root of his ear, and the more lined people were like peach blossoms.

Tuoba Yue didn't seem to be in a hurry, riding the horse slowly down the mountain from a trail, He Xi kept stiff, but the occasional bumps of the horse still made her crash into the chest of the person behind her from time to time.

Gradually, He Xi was attracted by the scenery in front of him, the green mountains are not all evergreen trees, in the shade of this verdant mountain forest, there is a maple forest, the maple leaves in autumn are red like fire, bright like xia, with the brilliance of the burning eyes.

He Xi couldn't help but be a little stupid, she looked at it, and said unconsciously: "Far up the cold mountain stone path slope, there are people in Baiyunsheng." Parking sits in love with the maple forest in the evening, and the frost leaves are red in February. Although the flowers are gorgeous, it is rare to be as beautiful as the flowers. ”

Tuoba Yue said: "Yes, when I came to the palace when I was a child, I liked this maple forest very much, and my mother often brought me here. ”

As he spoke, he slowly drove the horse towards the depths, as if looking for something, and suddenly there was some joy in his eyes, and he grabbed the reins, turned over and dismounted, and went to check.

After it was confirmed, he turned around and looked at He Xi with excitement and joy in his eyes.

He Xi was a little stunned, she had never seen such a Tuoba Yue, through the distant time, she seemed to see a young man, standing under the tree, happily showing his own treasures to the people close to him.

I don't know why, at this moment, she felt that she was so close to Tuoba Yue, so close that she seemed to be able to touch his heart as soon as she stretched out her hand, and there were surging tears flashing in her eyes, and she hurriedly raised her face and forced the surging back that was about to drop.

also took the gorgeous sunset afterglow into his heart, and the golden light gently plated on Tuoba Yue's body, as if all the disguises and precautions on Tuoba Yue's body were removed, leaving only the young man, the young man who was forced to leave in the world by his mother, the same as himself.

Tuoba Yue walked to the horse and helped He Xi off the horse, He Xi stood firm, but Tuoba Yue did not let go of his hand, but kept holding her, leading her to a maple tree, he pointed to the trunk of the tree and said, "What do you see this?" ”

He Xi looked carefully, only to see that there were a few deep traces on the trunk of the tree, although time passed, but the traces on it could still be vaguely distinguished, she said: "It's the word Yue." ”

Tuoba Yue nodded and said: "The mother concubine once said that there is a legend in ancient southern Xinjiang, a man and a goddess fell in love, but because of a different fate, they finally had to separate, but the goddess left a seed for the man, and the man planted it, and it grew into a maple tree, and then he stayed under the maple tree day and night, and slowly watched the leaves of the red maple slowly fall, and when the last maple leaf fell, the goddess appeared in front of him. Engrave your name and the name of another person on the trunk of a maple tree and you can stay together for the rest of your life. ”

He Xi's heart was greatly touched, she reached out and touched the small Yue character and said, "So you carved your name on the tree?" ”

The palm of the hand was suddenly let go, she looked down, only to see a delicate dagger, appeared in her hand, it was her dagger, in the ancient tomb on the outskirts of Beijing, he had held this dagger in front of him, and now, he put his dagger in the palm of his hand.

He Xi naturally knew what it meant, Tuoba Yue held He Xi's hand, He Xi suddenly smiled, smiled with satisfaction, she said: "Tuoba Yue, you once told me that your heart is safest only when you put it in your chest, why can't you do it now?" ”

Tuoba Yue said firmly: "Because the time is not yet ripe, but now, the time is about to be ripe." ”
