Chapter 13: Revenge

Zhuang Meiyan's eyes sharpened, and he looked at Asura aggressively, and said, "I have already asked the Great Witch Doctor to confirm that what you put into the incense burner is not an incense piece at all, but a secret medicine from the southern country. The taste released by this medicine is very similar to that of spices, especially the amount you put in before is well controlled, and unsuspecting others can't notice it at all. ”

According to the great witch doctor, this medicine will have an effect on a woman's body, and over time, it can make a pregnant woman have an unexplained miscarriage, or even fail to conceive in the end.

"He was still an unborn child, just like Sumiya, how innocent. Why are your hearts so vicious, you have to hurt him!" Zhuang Meiyan's eyes were misty, and she bit her lower lip lightly and said word by word.

"It's all done by me, Asura, and I have nothing to do with anyone else. You, an alien woman who has not been blessed by the Wolf God, should have left Wuyang Kingdom a long time ago, why did you bring the disaster to us?"

Ghost Gus frowned slightly, raised the hilt of his knife and struck at the crook of her leg, Asura screamed and fell to her knees, she stubbornly tried to struggle, but Ghost Gus's big hand firmly pressed her shoulder, making her unable to move. So, she held her head high and looked at Zhuang Meiyan with disdain.

Zhuang Meiyan smiled slightly, and said: "This excuse is very ridiculous, Lord Wolf God has given me a special blessing, the entire Vozra Prairie knows about this matter, but you still want to make a fuss about that, isn't it too ridiculous?"

Asura couldn't refute it, she just stubbornly shouted, "You kill me!"

Zhuang Meiyan's voice softened, and he said quietly: "Why should I kill you? Actually, I can also capture your parents and brothers, and then threaten you with their lives." ”

Zhuang Meiyan made a look, Ghost Gus understood, and whistled, and the black-clothed warrior escorted in several unkempt people, who were in tattered clothes, and looked at Asula with embarrassed expressions, looking expectantly. Asura suddenly looked back at the people, her expression excited, her lips trembling, and she could no longer speak the words of recklessness.

"You see, I can actually be like that person and threaten you with their lives, but I'm not that kind of person, I won't do that. Heysters, let them go. I can guarantee that whatever punishment you receive, it won't hurt them. Zhuang Meiyan said in a calm tone.

When Asura's relatives were freed, they immediately gathered around Asura, and the old mother took Asura in her arms with tears in her eyes and said, "Son, we all know that you have committed all these sins because of us. Merciful Queen, I am a mother, so I know how much your heart hurts when my child kills your child. Therefore I dare not beg you to forgive her sins, so let me take her place. I have already lost a daughter, please don't let a mother lose her last daughter - that would be more painful for her than to kill her!"

Speaking of children, the corners of Zhuang Meiyan's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and she turned her face sideways sadly, gently stroking her lower abdomen, which had already begun to bulge slightly, but now it was obviously flattened. The women all knew what had happened, and Asura's old mother lay on the ground in fear, and her family followed her to the ground, and Asura couldn't stop crying and choked up, "Mommy, Mommy." ”

She was so distracted and conflicted that she didn't know what to say.

"Do you think you are doing this to avenge Princess Sumya? However, your current actions will only harm Princess Sumya, and people will mistakenly believe that Princess Sumya has a grudge against her. ”

"No, no. Princess Sumya, she was still a child, her heart was as pure as a cloud in the blue sky, and she would not give birth to such dirty thoughts. Asura looked up suddenly, her voice already lowered, and she was arguing nonsense.

"Who's that, who induced you to commit the crime?" Zhuang Meiyan asked in a harmonious voice.

Asura hung her head hesitantly, her fingers kneading the placket of her clothes, and she was about to tear the yellow coarse cloth off her body.

"That woman is so vicious, she almost killed us all, what else do you have to hide for her, Asura? I really don't understand! The queen is so merciful, she sent someone to save your family from the devil's hands, but your heart is still willing to be driven by the devil. One of her brothers said indignantly.

"Yes, you don't say it, I'll say it. Another brother also shouted, "Queen, it was the princess who forced her to do this, she locked us in the dungeon and threatened Asura with our lives. ”

Asura's last line of defense completely collapsed, and she covered her face and leaned on her mother's shoulder, crying "whining".

Zhuang Meiyan waited patiently for her to fully calm down. Asura wiped away her tears and finally told her what had happened.

It is true that she resents Zhuang Meiyan because of the punishment of her sister and Princess Sumya, but she is not bold enough to dare to murder the queen. Later, Concubine Yelu took the initiative to find her, and gave her this secret medicine, asking her to secretly put it in the incense burner of the queen's tent while she was unprepared.

Asura knew that this was a sinful thing and that she was unwilling to do it, so Princess Jerod took her family and threatened her, so she had to take the risk. The princess had promised her that as long as she removed the child from the queen's womb, she would be given a free status for herself and her family, and she would be allowed to leave Wincor.

Under the double pressure of being a free man tempting her and threatening the safety of her family, Asura finally did something against her conscience.

When Asura had finished speaking, she fell to the ground and said sincerely, "Queen, this is how things are. Asura didn't dare to defend herself, I am guilty, please punish me, please let my family go!"

Zhuang Meiyan smiled and said, "Actually, I have almost guessed what happened, but I am very relieved to hear the truth from your mouth." Lord Wolf God has said that if a person is willing to repent of her sins, her heart is no longer a devil. ”

"I'm willing to give you a chance, Asura, I need you to prove this for me, so that the real murderer can be punished severely. I can guarantee the safety of you and your family, I have asked Ghost Gus to transfer the slave status of your whole family to my name, from this day on, you are all my slaves, I use the identity of the master to guarantee, when the matter is over, I can also give you freedom, let you leave Wenkol safely. ”

Facing Zhuang Meiyan's sincere gaze, Asura didn't know what to say, and muttered, "Is this true?"

Her old mother rebuked softly, "Asura, would you rather believe the devil's word than the promise of the good queen? Do you think that if you have done so many things, that woman of the Yelu family will let us go? If it had not been for the queen sending someone to save us, we would have been killed by that woman's people." ”

The old mother's words finally made Asura make up her mind, and she bowed humbly: "Queen, Asura is willing to be loyal to you, and everything is at your disposal. ”

Zhuang Meiyan breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand gently.

The outsiders exited the tent one after another, and Suna silently stayed by her side.

"What's next, Queen!"

Zhuang Meiyan glanced at Su Na and said indifferently: "Isn't Wu Yangguo's person in charge of criminal law Lord Sikong? ”

"But, Yerugina, she isβ€”" Suna stopped talking worriedly.

Zhuang Meiyan smiled tiredly, and still said in a calm tone: "Do you want to say that Yelujina is the sister of Lord Sikong Yeluxiong? We should believe that Lord Sikong will handle this matter fairly, if he can't handle it impartially, and there is no need for us to come forward, someone will not let them go." ”

Suna nodded thoughtfully.

"He's coming back soon!" Zhuang Mei's eyes showed sad feelings, and he closed his eyes weakly, "Suna, let me be quiet for a while!"

"Yes!" Suna saluted respectfully and walked backwards away from the tent, giving one last look at the woman in the tent before leaving.

The woman knelt on the bed with great reverence, her hands on her chest, her head slightly raised.

This is a prayer posture of Wu Yang, which is to pray for peace to the wolf god.

Will the wolf god above the clouds give her the peace she wants?

The royal court of Winkol.

The royal court here is different from the palace of the Mushuang Kingdom, and its function is not only to worship the gods, but also to judge. Any guilty person must be judged in front of the wolf god, and the people of Wuyang believe that this will be the judgment just, because in front of the wolf god, no one dares to lie, that means that the soul will not get eternal life - the punishment of the wolf god is the most terrible.

Now the Lord of the Criminal Law, Yeluxiong, sat on a high platform in the northeast corner of the temple, and everything in the temple was carved out of stone. The prisoner stood behind a stone table at the bottom of the stage, not handcuffed because of her noble status. Jeregina's face was a little pale, but her expression was still proud, and she did not take today's judgment into account in the slightest.

There were several aristocratic leaders sitting on the stone platform on the side, and strangely, Wan Yan Lie of the Wanyan family was not present, and he was replaced by a young general, Wan Yanxiong, the deputy general of the "Tiger Camp".

Yelujina's identity is too special, she is the concubine of the first king, the mother of two princes, and she is also a daughter of the Yelu family, and the person in charge of judging her today is her own brother Yeluxiong.

By this time, the slave Asura had already recounted what had happened in front of everyone. The scene was a little silent, and no one dared to speak, because they were all shocked by this astonishing fact, the murder of the crown prince was not a disaster for one person, and even affected the entire family.

"Jeregina, do you have anything to defend yourselves?" came Jeruchon's majestic voice.

Concubine Yelu glanced at Asura contemptuously, and then said proudly: "Brother, how can you believe the words of a slave? A slave is like a lamb on the grassland, as long as someone gives her a good fodder, she will kneel down obediently. Give her a little sweetness, and she will make up all kinds of nonsense. ”

"I didn't!" Asura said in a trembling voice, "I am willing to swear in front of the wolf god, if what I just said is even the slightest false, I am willing to let the wolf god-sama take my soul." ”

Wan Yanxiong had been lowering his head and playing with a beautiful dagger inlaid with gems and jade, and when he heard this, he whispered: "In front of the wolf god and Lord Sikong, no one dares to lie. Since Concubine Yelu thinks she is lying, why doesn't she defend herself?"

Concubine Yelu frowned, she didn't bother to talk to juniors like Wan Yanxiong, but raised her head slightly and looked at her own brother.

"Brother, would you rather believe in a slave's false accusations than believe in your sister's innocence?"

Yeluxiong's face was as usual, his eyes did not squint, he looked straight ahead, and said majestically: "Yelujina, I ask you again, do you want to defend your actions? If you refuse to explain, then we can only trust the words of the witnesses. ”

Concubine Yelu's face faded in an instant, and she looked at her stern-looking brother on the high platform in surprise, no, maybe now she should see him as Lord Sikong's complete face. Her lips squirmed slightly, but she didn't say a word.

"Yeregina, you refuse to explain to the wolf god. Yeluxiong announced majestically, "High priest, what kind of will did the Lord Wolf God give?"

"Lord Wolf God's meaning, I should also agree to let Lord Sikong decide for yourself. From the shadows of the temple came the majestic and gentle voice of a woman, echoing over the hall.

The people stood up and saluted, and the queen slowly came to the open space in front of the platform, where she was standing in the brightest light, dressed in a white robe, with a dignified demeanor, and her majesty shocked the audience, and even the wolf god above her seemed to remain silent.

A hint of fear finally appeared in Yeregina's eyes.
