After Yun Yanzheng was stunned for a moment, he laughed angrily: "The evidence of the crime is conclusive? ”

Chu Ruirong sighed, lowered his eyes and said: "This matter was presented by the official's secret box, and I don't know the truth of it, but Your Majesty's mood has become more and more cloudy and unpredictable since then. Presumably, His Majesty was trying to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, but unexpectedly, such a thing happened. ”

"If he wanted to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, why did our army win in the end? He has been helping our Wei Kingdom to win from beginning to end, and in the end, in addition to sending himself to the Jingshi Heavenly Prison, what benefits did he get? Yun Yanzheng was angry in his heart, and the words he said were already sneering. She only felt that the whole thing was so ridiculous, could it be that a few letters were forged by someone I don't know, maybe it was a trick set up by the corrupt officials of Yu Guo who were not angry in his heart, so that the people who had just returned from the front line of the great victory over the enemy army could be imprisoned in the prison without hesitation, and there was no need for circumstantial evidence, no human witnesses, and no need to go through the Dali Temple?

Or is it the emperor who wants to bend people into a trick, and he will repay the crime of resisting the decree again and again on the front line?

"Where are the others now, and have they already been punished?" Yun Yanzheng said lightly in his mouth, but his beautiful and delicate eyebrows condensed into white ice and blue frost.

Chu Ruirong had also seen the spy report of the Yuwei dispute, and he could also see that there were many battle tactics that were different from Yun Yanzheng's previous style, so he was sure that she did not deliberately exaggerate Gu Xi's merits in what she said to him, all of which seemed reasonable. However, His Majesty's mind is not clear to him at the moment, what can he do if he is deeply immersed in it? He can try his best to recruit Yun Yanjin, Yun Yanjin has already spent a lot of effort to maneuver, and even His Majesty is a little unkind to see him.

He and Gu Xi don't have a deep friendship, they haven't worked together, and they don't know him as a person from beginning to end, compared with Yun Yanzheng and Yun Yanjin, Gu Xi can be said to be an insignificant person in his heart, but it's just a pity for this person's talent. But in his heart, there is no feeling that this person must be, so for Gu Yi's imprisonment, he is more approving to wait and see, not wanting to get involved, in case he finally throws himself into this troubled water, not to mention losing his life, and there are more than 500 people of the whole clan in Houfu.

"Now that the person has been handed over to the criminal department, if he refuses to admit his guilt and draw into custody, he may really have to use torture instruments." Chu Ruirong also said lightly.

Yun Yanzheng heard that this was really the case, and after sneering, he whispered: "Ruirong, what is Your Majesty's attitude towards me now?" Do you want this incident to spread to me and put me to death, or do you want to leave my life and stabilize the morale of the army for the time being? ”

Chu Ruirong couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard her ask about his own safety, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Looking at Your Majesty's meaning, I don't want this matter to affect you, otherwise he wouldn't agree to let Yan Jin come back to calm your heart, and he just sent the forbidden army to besiege the Eldest Princess's Mansion without any other purpose." ”

Yun Yanzheng snorted lightly, is this the way of a king? A slap in the face, and another sweet date. wants to trap her in a dilemma, on one side is the third brother Yun Yanjin; On one side is Mr. Gu Xi. This is a threat, a warning, a stratagem, a trick, no matter which side her scales end up tilting, the one who wins in the end is the emperor, and the one who ends up losing her loved ones and friends is her cloud sign.

Chu Ruirong's heart was pounding, and the expression between his eyebrows was resolute. He naturally understood her situation, and this trip was to deliberately explain the emperor's arrangement, and openly and secretly wanted to persuade her not to act rashly about Gu Xi's matter. He was afraid that something would happen to her, that she would be impulsive, and that he would not even have a chance to slow down for her. Jingshi's movements, the emperor's thoughts, he has been secretly escorting her.

Yun Yanzheng didn't understand his persuasion, but how could she explain to him the friendship she owed to Gu Xi and the guilt in her heart. The origin of all these things seems to have originated from the third brother, and the one who contributed to the troubles and made suggestions in it, and finally made Gu Xishen fall into this fallen Jedi, was her Yunyan.

She is carrying such a heavy burden, so how can she live with peace of mind? How can we turn a blind eye to Gu Xi's grievances?

After sending off the guests, Yun Yanzheng still sat on the chair in the lobby, constantly thinking about how to solve Gu Xi's dilemma, and where could she help?

I just feel that my heart is a mess at the moment.

The emperor's true thoughts, she is still a little unsure at the moment. I don't dare to make a conclusion about many things, but I am afraid that I will make a wrong step and lose all the games.

In the court, she has no connections to rely on, and Gu Xi has no time to accumulate friendships; Although there are soldiers in the army who support them, if the generals come forward to intercede at this moment, I am afraid that it will backfire, and even affect the lives of those who ask for mercy. And on Chu Ruirong's side, she knows and understands that she can't borrow her strength, and she can't go to face the saint to intercede, the emperor has long been jealous of her, if she goes to intercede, not only will it not be of the slightest benefit, but it will increase the emperor's chance of using this matter to deal with her.

Although Chu Ruirong said that the emperor didn't want to put her to death, who could guarantee that the emperor didn't want to force her to commit robbery, and gave her the name of committing rebellion and collaborating with the enemy, and then he could justifiably remove the military power in her hands, and easily take the opportunity to disintegrate the Nine Heavens Cavalry?

She had never been in such a difficult situation, and Yun Yanzheng deeply understood her situation. She has survived to this day and is relatively free because she established and owned one of the most elite troops in the kingdom of Ul, the Nine Heavenly Cavalry, during the reign of her father.

Before training an army comparable to it, the emperor will not do anything to her in the open, and the means in the secret can naturally emerge in an endless stream, and all kinds of attack prevention are no longer complicated. If the emperor moves her on the surface, it is understandable that the entire Nine Heavens Riding is backing up to keep her as the commander, but if she uses the power of the Nine Heavens Riding to threaten the emperor just for Gu Xi, it is a crime of rebellion, unless she really wants to ignore the lives of the entire Nine Heavens Rider and her family. However, such a commander who does not cherish his subordinates can easily cause the morale of the army to disperse, and will only give the emperor an opportunity to threaten, lure, kill, and use various means to contain and split the power of the Nine Heavens Cavalry, and finally it can be broken into pieces and incorporated into his own army for his own use.

Therefore, this move must not be used, and she cannot make the decision to sacrifice more people's lives for the sake of one person's life.

Now, then, she can only use the power of the dark whistle hidden underground.

But now that she is imprisoned by the emperor in the eldest princess's mansion, she can't move around at will, and many things have become more passive, and many things have become necessary to wait for the opportunity.

Yun Yanzheng calmed himself down again, and he only hoped that Gu Xi would not have any changes in these days. She must grit her teeth and persevere, but as long as she thinks that the torture tools of the Ministry of Punishment have all been used on that person, she feels a chill in her heart. Even though the internal force in his body is profound, there must be many ways to make people lose their internal strength, and when they use torture tools, they will definitely use them to deepen the pain of the heart. What's more, he returned from a big battle, and he consumed a lot of internal strength, blood and energy to remove the puppet Gu for her, according to Chen Jie, who accompanied Gu Xi to drive her Gu together, in the end, Gu Xi kept dripping blood into her mouth before she returned to her sobriety.

Chen Jie said that it was two people covered with blood all over their bodies and beds. However, when she woke up, the maid had already helped her change into clean clothes and a clean and fragrant pillow quilt. He hadn't seen Gu Xi for three days and three nights, but when he came to visit her, he was already dressed in white and flawless clothes, with a gentle and concerned smile on his face, and he didn't say anything about himself or healing. Didn't he know how uncomfortable and sorry that pale and haggard face made her feel in her eyes?

Thinking of such a person who had done his best for her and Wei Guo, and when he had to bear the torture tools that blurred people's flesh and blood and shattered their muscles and bones in the Criminal Department, Yun Yanzheng's hands unconsciously curled up into fists, hid them in his sleeves, and deeply cut out blood marks in his palms.

Unexpectedly, five days later, Yun Yanjin had returned to Yuecheng from the imperial mausoleum in the western suburbs.

On this day, the early morning birds were still chirping outside the window, when they heard the maid's announcement that Yun Yanjin had come to visit. Yun Yanzheng didn't bother to dress up, so she quickly ran out of the inner courtyard with her hair disheveled, and picked up her third brother in the corridor of the backyard.

The two stopped at the same time when they were one step apart, looking at each other. The hearts are both happy and sad, and the joy is that there is still a time to see each other; The worry is that each other's situation is not optimistic, and they are closely related.

"Give it up, you've worked hard." Yun Yanjin broke the silence first, and saw her unkempt description, but saw that her clothes were loose, and her whole body seemed to have lost a circle, and even her chin became more and more pointed. There was a faint sadness and tiredness on his pale face, and his phoenix eyes were also full of thoughts, but when he saw him, he couldn't help but overflow with joy, and laughed elegantly and movingly.

"You've also lost weight, it's the spiritual mountain holy water of the Imperial Tomb that has turned the fat on your body, right?" Yun Yanzheng smiled slightly, and his smile was still so refreshing and elegant.

Seeing Yun Yanjin dressed gracefully and standing there, she was still her graceful third brother. Now he looks a lot thinner, but he is still in good spirits and seems to have not been affected by the captivity. The contours of the handsome and tough facial features became more and more angular, aggressive, but his expression became gentle and soft when he saw her, and his eyes were full of relief and worry.
