Chapter Ninety-Three: Changing Heavens
Mu Yan never thought that he would have the opportunity to meet the emperor face to face.
Kneeling on the ground, looking at the man lying on the bed, his face was pale, but his eyebrows were still majestic, and he exuded the aura of a king, Mu Yan couldn't take his eyes off him.
Sitting weakly on the bed, glancing at Mu Yan, who was kneeling on the ground and hadn't seen him for a while, Xia Yuanfeng frowned slightly.
I walked before the ghost gate, and when I woke up, I had already heard the cronies around me tell me about the situation. If it was Mu Yan who did that kind of thing, it was definitely not impossible. After all, it was himself who caused the destruction of the Firmament Country with his own hands.
"Get up, don't kneel." Whispering to Mu Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, Xia Yuanfeng closed his eyes tiredly. "I'd like to hear your explanation of witchcraft."
I didn't expect the emperor to ask about this matter so directly, Mu Yan was stunned, and then slowly stood up. The legs of a person who had never knelt before, were also a little numb and sore.
Scanning the people in the room, Mu Yan couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. She has no objection to the queen and Xia Mingyi here, but why did Murong Zixuan also appear in this room? Who is he?
"Back to the emperor, Mu Yan has nothing to say about this matter. I didn't do it, and I'm not going to admit it anyway. I hope that the emperor will be able to investigate this matter thoroughly. Lowering his eyes, his voice was low and he said polite official words, Mu Yan was more or less helpless. If the emperor knew the truth of the matter, would he really give her justice?
"Everyone has stolen goods, and you still have the face to quibble?!" Glaring at Mu Yan, Queen Jiang Shuying made no secret of her dislike for Mu Yan. "The thing was found in your room, who would it be if it wasn't yours? Lord Xia? There was a little cold light flashing in her eyes, and when Jiang Shuying thought of Xia Yifeng, the disgust in her eyes increased a little. Mu Yan, who had been watching her, couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"Shut up." There was a hint of displeasure in his voice. Opening his eyes slightly, he glanced at Jiang Shuying, who was sitting beside him, and Xia Yuanfeng coughed lightly. "Let her continue."
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and the emperor's move made Mu Yan's sinking mood begin to change a little.
"Mu Yan didn't want to quibble, he just wanted to state some facts." Staring fearlessly into the emperor's eyes, Mu Yan's action made Xia Yuanfeng stunned. "I don't know what benefits I can get from killing the emperor. Maybe the emperor and queen will think that I have always held a grudge against you, so it is understandable to do that kind of thing. But what Mu Yan wants to tell you is, please don't think too highly of me. Anyway, I'm just a woman. My country is gone, my home is gone. What strength do I have to resist, what qualifications do I have to fight my fate? ”
Standing there with a trembling voice, Mu Yan's words penetrated deep into the hearts of Xia Mingyi and Murong Zixuan one by one.
"Your Majesty." Taking a step forward and standing side by side with Mu Yan, Murong Zixuan squinted his eyes with a solemn expression, "The grass people are not talented, I want to say a few words for Princess Xia, please allow the emperor." ”
didn't expect Murong Zixuan to stand out for Mu Yan, Xia Yuanfeng nodded, moved, and stared at the man and woman in front of him with slightly bright eyes.
"According to the grass people's opinion, the emperor will fall ill this time, and it is completely because of the poison. It has nothing to do with witchcraft. Carefully paying attention to his words, Murong Zixuan understood that as long as he couldn't say a word, maybe Mu Yan would be in danger of being beheaded.
"It doesn't matter if it matters now." Looking at Mu Yan with deep eyes, Xia Yuanfeng's voice raised slightly, "The important thing is why there are those things in your room!" I want to know why! If it's not yours, who will it be? I don't want to hear your explanations, I just want to hear the truth! The king's aura flowed silently in the air, and after a cold glance at the few people in the room, Xia Yuanfeng frowned. Why didn't Feng'er come today? ”
At the mention of Xia Yifeng, the atmosphere in the room instantly became more tense. Even Gonggong Li, who was standing in the distance and waiting at the door, felt a little depressed.
When the emperor woke up, there was indeed a decree that Prince Xia should enter the palace to face the saint. It's a pity that a day has passed, but Prince Xia is still nowhere to be seen......
"Father."
Xia Mingyi, who had not spoken out, unexpectedly knelt down. What made everyone even more unexpected was the next few words he blurted out.
"The things in Princess Xia's room were put in by her sons. Now, Erchen doesn't want to bother others anymore, so he ...... Please condemn your father! ”
"Yi'er, what are you talking nonsense?!" Standing up nervously, Jiang Shuying looked at Xia Yuanfeng with a pale face. "Your Majesty, Yi'er is talking nonsense, don't believe him!"
"The queen mother, the son's words are true, and the queen mother should not defend the son."
A faint gaze, a smile that doesn't matter. Seeing this expression on Xia Mingyi's face again, Mu Yan suddenly understood what Xia Yifeng's purpose was for doing all this!
It was as if time had stood still, and the silence in the room was a little suffocating. Clenching his fists hard, Mu Yan looked at Xia Mingyi who was kneeling on the ground in disbelief. She didn't expect that he would pay so much for himself. He is the crown prince of a country and the future emperor! But when these words were spoken, he was nothing...... It's hard to be sure if even your life can be saved.
He is a chess piece in Xia Yifeng's hands, just a chess piece. Xia Yifeng used himself to make a bet with Xia Mingyi, betting on whether Xia Mingyi would watch him die, or desperately take all the charges for her.
For Xia Mingyi, he knows better than anyone how much courage it takes to admit this matter and how much pressure he has to bear! But now, he still knelt on the ground so calmly, trying to exonerate Mu Yan.
"What do you say...... Say it again! Looking at the person kneeling on the ground with his head bowed sharply, Xia Yuanfeng felt that his head hurt as if it was about to crack.
"The witchcraft doll in Princess Xia's house was put in by her son. A while ago, Erchen had gone to King Xia's Mansion to find Princess Xia, and his father and mother also knew that Erchen had always had a heart of admiration for Princess Xia, so after she repeatedly rejected Erchen, Erchen held a grudge and did such a thing. Now that the son has realized his mistake, please ask his father to convict the son! ”
"Shut up!" A slap on Xia Mingyi's face, Jiang Shuying trembled, and even her body was almost unstable. He knelt on the ground with a puff and kept kowtowing his head hard, "Your Majesty, please investigate, this matter must not be done by Yi'er, Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense, he was confused by this woman Mu Yan!" How could he possibly do such a thing? Absolutely not......"
Biting his lower lip stiffly, Mu Yan looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly felt a little helpless.
The crown prince planned to assassinate the emperor, what kind of heinous crime is this, and how many people want to lose their heads for this......
Turning his head silently, looking at Murong Zixuan, who was also staring at him with a confused face, Mu Yan knew that the sky of this Yixuan Kingdom was really about to change!
