Two days have passed in a blink of an eye.

The sky was overcast, the sky was full of heavy turbid clouds, and the cold north wind was raging in the streets and alleys.

A gust of cold wind blew in front of you, and people couldn't help but shiver. Despite such bad weather, in front of the Yamen of Dali Temple, there were still crowds of black pressurs. However, they are not here to make trouble, they are here to observe the trial.

Today, Dali Temple publicly retried the murder case of Xia He, and the people came here early to wait for the opening of the hall.

In the crowd, there was a lot of noise and discussions, and it was not lively. Now, before the official ascension, the people standing in front of the crowd, probing their brains, all stretched their necks to look into the court.

In the public hall, Duan Zisheng of Dali Temple sat in front of the table under the plaque. Dali Temple Shaoqing Yunbai sat on the left side of the table, adjacent to Lord Duan.

The people in the hall include Xiangye and his follower Sun Shan, as well as Xia Wenxuan. They appeared as family members of the victims. The plaintiff is the girl of the water vein, the defendant is the prefect Fang Hongyi, and the suspects Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le.

The court heard the trial of Lu Cai'er, the lord of Shuangyuan County, Dongfang Hong, the head catcher of the prefect's yamen, as well as Yanxiang and Lan Ayayu.

Before the official opening of the hall, Yanxiang's eyes swept around the hall, and when she saw Xiangye's appearance of being a bamboo in her chest, she couldn't help but snicker in her heart. I don't know where Xiang Ye's confidence comes from, as if he is completely sure that he will win this case.

Yanxiang couldn't help but think evilly, when he saw Niu Kelian appear with gold silk soft armor, it was estimated that Xiangye would be scared. Well, it might be a bit inappropriate to describe Xiangye with a stream of fart, but he wasn't scared.

What to use to describe it, the smell of cigarettes is not good. In short, even if Xiangye won't be stunned on the spot, I'm afraid he will be so nervous that he can't laugh, right? As soon as she thought of the funny appearance of Xiangye who was caught off guard for a while, she couldn't help but steal the fun.

Smoke Incense's gaze turned, turned to the senior brother, and landed on his face.

At that moment, Chu Tiankuo's eyes also looked at the incense of smoke.

The eyes of the two intertwined and entangled in the air, converging into a blazing light. This light not only burned Shui Wei and Xia Wenxuan, but also burned Dongfang Hong.

Dongfang Hong's heart is a little uncomfortable. During Chu Tiankuo's stay in the prison, he and Yanxiang worked hard and scheming for Chu Tiankuo's exoneration. The two have also become close because of this, and they can be said to be close and inseparable.

These days, getting along with the smoke day and night, Dongfang Hong has long remembered the sound and smile of the smoke in his heart. The shadow of the smoke has been deeply imprinted in his heart, and he has long been secretly in love with her.

However, Yanxiang was thinking about Senior Brother Chu Tiankuo. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and as soon as she saw Chu Tiankuo, she focused her attention on Chu Tiankuo, and there was no presence of him in her eyes at all.

Having said that, in the eyes of Yanxiang, when did Dongfang Hong exist? It's just wishful thinking on his part.

Dongfang Hong had heard Niu Kelian's testimony and knew that Chu Tiankuo and they would inevitably get away with it. When Chu Tiankuo gets rid of his crimes, he will be able to stay with Yanxiang. Then there is nothing to do with him Dongfanghong. Thinking of this, a trace of bitterness appeared in his heart.

It's like emotions are contagious, or maybe they're telepathic. At this moment, there was also a hint of bitterness in Yanxiang's heart.

The source of this bitterness is not only the senior brother in her eyes, but also the thin man who stayed in the dark prison, which made her feel sad and distressed.

The source of this bitterness is even more because she foresaw that after the trial of the case today, Senior Brother and Big Brother Chi Le will leave the prison and be acquitted.

Originally, the acquittal of the senior brother was a happy thing. The incense of smoke should also be joyful, so why be depressed? Of course, Yanxiang's heart is also full of joy about this, and the senior brother is about to get rid of his crimes, which is a fortunate thing.

It's just that the incense of cigarettes will inevitably be associated with the fact that as soon as the senior brother leaves the prison, he will return to the palace to become the prince.

As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and this life is like the end of the world.

Can she and him still be together?

Her heart tightened suddenly, and then her eyes moistened a little. She quickly turned her head and looked away.

In fact, Chu Tiankuo looked thinner, but it was just an illusion of smoke. Even though the environment of the prison is bad and the life is not satisfactory, Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le live in a high-class cell, and they are treated very well and have not been wronged.

Chu Tiankuo is in the prison, he can eat and sleep, how can he suffer?

These days of cell life have made Chu Tiankuo more calm and introverted, and he has also figured out many things. Originally, he was resistant to the life of the palace and did not want to stay in the palace. He felt that the world outside was vast, and if he was allowed to gallop around, if he stayed in the palace, it would be like being imprisoned in a prison.

He left the court since he was a child, lived in the people, and experienced the various situations of the people. He likes to stay in the folk and live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes.

However, after taking the prison for a while, his thinking changed a lot. He carefully pondered what Master Chu Aofei said, and thought that what Master said was right. Since he was born, he has been destined to be an ordinary person, and as a prince, he has his responsibilities to bear after all.

His father, the Emperor, was old and would one day be ousted from the throne. On the river of the Great Western Kingdom, someone must guard it, and someone must inherit the throne.

In the end, whether it is him who inherits the throne or his royal brother King Yong'an, he has to enter the palace. The two brothers supported each other and took charge of the great western country.

During the reign of his father, the emperor made great efforts to govern the country, worked diligently and loved the people, so that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. He wants his son to inherit his father's business, take over the Great Western Kingdom, govern the Great Western Kingdom, and let the Great Western Kingdom continue to be rich and strong, and the people will continue to live and work in peace and contentment. Sacrificing him alone can benefit millions of people, so why not?

It is true that he will not compete with King Yong'an for the throne. However, if his father insisted on passing the throne to him, he would gladly accept it.

This great western country was founded by countless soldiers who shed their blood. This great western country has poured his father's life's work. He wants to guard this piece of land for his father.

Since he was a child, his master Chu Aofei taught him Wen Taowu strategy and made him familiar with the strategy of governing the country. Come to think of it, the master cultivated him as the prince of the Great Western Kingdom. He couldn't live up to Master's hard work.

Even if he doesn't enter the palace and doesn't accept the throne, I'm afraid it won't work. Many people were eyeing the throne, and if he did not accept it, it would lead to riots or rebellions. Because, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the throne is not inherited, which will lead to turmoil in the imperial court.

In this way, those rebellious ministers and thieves who are eyeing the throne will inevitably seek power and usurp the throne. In that case, in order to fight for power and seize the throne, it is inevitable to provoke disputes, and the flames of war will be filled with rivers of blood. When the time comes, lives will be destroyed and people will be displaced.

For this reason, Chu Tiankuo has made up his mind, and after the case is completed and acquitted, he will enter the palace to become the crown prince. He wanted to follow his father's side and learn from him how to govern the country, how to deal with the government, and how to seek benefits for the people of the world. Filial piety comes first, and as a son of man, he wants to solve problems for his father.

It's just that Chu Tiankuo can't help but feel distressed, if he enters the palace, what will happen to the smoke? Let him give up the cigarette incense and go to the palace alone, he categorically refused. Let Yanxiang stay outside the palace alone, he can't be relieved. In any case, he had to bring the incense into the palace and take her with him. If he was without the company of cigarettes, he stayed alone in that lonely deep palace, how could he survive those days and nights?

Without the company of cigarettes, what is the fun of life?

Let Yanxiang follow him into the palace, presumably Yanxiang will have a lot of resistance, and he can only coax her. He also knew that according to Yanxiang's temperament, it was not suitable to stay in the palace of Yu Yu. With her straightforward personality, in the palace of intrigue, it is inevitable that she will suffer. Hey, he can only do everything possible to protect her. If she is wronged, he will try to compensate her.

In the days when he was separated from the cigarette, he missed her all the time. I'm afraid that she will be sad, worried that she will get into trouble, and her heart and mind are all about her. As soon as they were empty, their minds were full of her figures, and they couldn't help but recall their past.

He misses her so much, misses her, loves her, cares about her. Just now, his eyes met with the incense of smoke, and his whole person seemed to be electrocuted, flowing from head to toe, all of them were happy. Even though Smoke had turned his head away, his gaze followed her.

Chu Tiankuo's gaze stayed on Yan Xiang and never left. This made Shui Wei and Xia Wenxuan's hearts a little sour. He cares so much about the fragrance of cigarettes, he pounces on the incense of cigarettes so much that he refuses to even look at himself.

However, the water vein is also wise. The important thing now is that the case is opened, as long as Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le can get away with it. I'll leave the rest aside for now.

And Xia Wenxuan's heart is extremely complicated. knew that the hall was going to open today, but since two days ago, she has been entangled, and her heart is flustered. She was worried that the outcome of the trial would be unfavorable to Chu Tiankuo, and she was also worried that the case would be overturned, which would be unfavorable to her father.

You can't have it both ways. If Chu Tiankuo exonerates them, her father will inevitably suffer. Not only her father, but I'm afraid even the entire prime minister's mansion will be buried with her. This is already irrevocable. Two days ago, Xia Wenxuan had a dispute with her father over this case. Her father made it clear to her and explained to her what was at stake.

At that time, Xia Wenxuan begged her father to let go, stop being enemies with Chu Tiankuo and them, and stop being obsessed. Her father did not accede to her request.

Now, I'm afraid I can't help it, he has no way to retreat, so he has to rush forward.

Even, her father told her, is it worth abandoning her father and family for the sake of a man who doesn't love her?

Therefore, Xia Wenxuan has shed tears. She didn't know what she had done wrong, why did God treat her like this? Finally, she recognized her father, but she didn't expect her father to be a traitor with a bad heart. Her father brutalized the prince, was vicious, and was a wicked person.

She should have killed her relatives in righteousness and reported and exposed her father. However, by the nature of father and daughter, she can't be ruthless, and she can't cut off the relationship between father and daughter. When she thought that on weekdays, her father loved her in every way and doted on her, she couldn't come forward to testify against him.

But, God knows how painful she was. She wants to protect her father, and if she doesn't come forward to testify, her beloved Chu Tiankuo will have to be wronged. Her father will hold on to it, and he will cause Chu Tiankuo to die.

Xia Wenxuan loves Chu Tiankuo more than her own life. How could she see him being wronged and punished? Once convicted, Chu Tiankuo will not be beheaded, and he will also sit in prison. How could she watch him do this?

That's right, Xia Wenxuan knew that Chu Tiankuo didn't love her, he only loved cigarettes. However, she didn't care at all, she was still addicted to him and couldn't extricate herself.

In this life, except for Chu Tiankuo, it is impossible for her to fall in love with anyone else.

In stark contrast to Xia Wenxuan's depressed mood, the person is Lu Caier. Her heart was beating vigorously in her chest, and she secretly glanced at Chi Le with her eyes from time to time.

The joy and excitement in Lu Caier's heart do not need to be detailed. Now, she is the emperor's personal title of the Shuangyuan County Lord, her identity is extraordinary, and her status is rising. Not to mention that you want to find a prince and grandson to be a wishful husband, it is more than enough to marry Chi Le, the loyal and brave king, as a concubine.

In the past, she felt that she was born in a Qinglou and had a humble status, which was really unworthy of Chi Le. And now, she has transformed herself and flew on the branches as a phoenix, and naturally no longer feels that she is incompatible with Chi Le.

People's minds will indeed change with the change of experience and expected status. Now, she unconsciously has the idea of marrying Chi Le. Of course, it is useless to rely on her alone, and wishful thinking is even more undesirable. If she wants to marry, she has to be willing to marry Chi Le.

So, Lu Caier looked forward to the end of the trial of this case, Chi Le would see the light of day again and be able to agree to accept her as a concubine.

Regarding the outcome of today's case, Lu Caier has already foreseen. Yesterday, she went to the palace of the happy king, met Niu Kelian, and told her the testimony of Yanxiang. She believes that the trial process is just a formality. The acquittal of Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le is inevitable.

Just because they won the case, the happy king Chu Aofei and Shennong Li Chourong did not come to participate in the trial.

Duan Zisheng, the presiding judge of this case, had already grasped the entire case in advance, because Dongfanghong had already explained Niu Kelian's testimony to him. Therefore, he seems to be calm and unhurried, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.

Judging from the situation in the entire court, whether it is the people on Xiangye's side or Chu Tiankuo's side, they will all know that they will win the case. I just don't know who will win and who will lose after the opening of the hall for a while?

The two rows of officials in the hall are of similar size and dress, and they have a righteous spirit. The killing rods they held in their hands fell to the ground in unison, forming a rhythmic sound.

Duan Zisheng of Dali Temple picked up the shocking wood on the table and patted it, and the trial began.
