Mu Chengzhou tightened his eyebrows the moment he saw him, Yang Leyu was afraid that he would go crazy and bite people, so he hurriedly protected the old man, "This old man is a good person, but he is a little confused, and he doesn't have a door on his mouth, Your Majesty, don't blame him!" ”

Mu Chengzhou saw that she got along with the dirty old man quite happily, so he raised his eyebrows: "Since the concubine mother is helpful, how about you take some punishment for this old guy?" ”

Yang Leyu: "? ”

Mu Chengzhou: "Feng Bao, bring her up, I will try her alone." ”

Hearing this, Feng Bao told the jailer to open the cell door and take Yang Leyu to an interrogation room.

Mu Chengzhou locked the door and approached Yang Leyu step by step.

Yang Leyu was a little scared, and then retreated, helplessly pitiful, and hit the wall without waiting for a few steps back.

Mu Chengzhou stretched out one arm, pressed her against the wall, and leaned close to her neck.

Said softly: "Little lamb, I miss you so much." ”

His snort rubbed against Yang Leyu's neck socket, causing him to tremble, and at the end, he said with a pout: "I thought you were going to break off relations with me." ”

"No, it won't." Mu Chengzhou hugged her tightly, "It's too late for me to love you, how can I break off relations with you?" I've been restless these days, and I didn't really annoy you when I got off the boat that day, but you didn't want to accept my kindness, I ......."

He suddenly didn't continue, but stretched out his bandaged fingertips to show her, "I was wrong, can you forgive me for my injury?" ”

Yang Leyu laughed 'poof', but he didn't expect that the rebel son still had two faces, this pitiful appearance was really touching.

"I'll blow it for you." Yang Leyu picked up his fingers and blew gently.

Mu Chengzhou looked at her slender eyelash fan, and suddenly raised her chin and kissed it.

Yang Leyu was breathless by his kiss, "Take a boat...... Hmm....."

Chapter 52

Mu Chengzhou inserted a beaded hairpin into her loose sideburns, "I saw that your hairpin was not shiny, so I asked a craftsman to re-polish it and re-inlay a South Sea pearl for you." ”

Yang Leyu whispered: "It's hard for you to bother......"

Mu Chengzhou smiled: "You are suffering here, wait for me to see the old witch and let her let you out." ”

He was referring to the Queen Mother.

Yang Leyu: "You have a bad relationship with her, wouldn't it be for her to beg her for nothing?" And the real culprit hasn't been found yet......"

Before he finished speaking, he only heard Feng Bao calling in a panic outside: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Someone just turned himself in! ”

Mu Chengzhou hooked his lips, "Yo, it seems that I don't need to go to see the yellow-faced woman." ”

Yang Leyu hurriedly asked: "Gonggong Feng, do you know who the murderer is?" ”

Feng Bao said twice: "Yes...... It's a female official Wu. ”

"How is that possible?" Yang Leyu's eyes were shocked, and she immediately rushed out of the interrogation room, "She must have turned herself in to talk back to me, and the real murderer was not her!" ”

Feng Bao: "The slave maid also just heard what the cell boss said, and the female official Wu drew a confession, and personally admitted that she killed Dong Taiji and buried her body under the locust tree in Leyi Palace. Now that the matter has reached the Queen Mother, Miss Nie Qing put Lady Wu on death row, saying that she would be beheaded tomorrow morning. ”

Yang Leyu recalled that Wu Buyue had just given her a tooth card, and estimated that she would intend to take the blame for herself at that moment! From the beginning of their entry into the palace, the Empress Dowager Xu has made things difficult in every way, thinking that she grabbed Wu Buyue's pigtail this time, and she couldn't spare her!

Only Mu Chengzhou can reverse the situation.

Yang Leyu grabbed Mu Chengzhou's sleeve, "Chengzhou, Wu Buyue is not the real murderer, you quickly think of a way to save her!" ”

Feng Bao glanced at it, good guy, the emperor's kung fu of coaxing women is really not covered, so he coaxed Concubine Yu in such a while, and called her nickname!

Mu Chengzhou said: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop. It seems that the old witch is still coming for me. He comforted Yang Leyu, "Don't worry, it's not safe outside now, but you won't be threatened in prison, you stay first, and I'll pick you up when I'm done." ”

Yang Leyu nodded obediently and re-entered the cell.

Mu Chengzhou's face sank, and he said coldly: "Let's go, go and meet the old witch." ”

.

The Buddhist hall was quiet, hundreds of Buddha lamps were steaming, and the sound of chanting came from the lights.

The Queen Mother knelt in front of the Buddha shrine, closed her eyes and twisted the beads intently, and her fingertips loosened when she heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

Mu Chengzhou withdrew all his attendants, but the two of them stayed here.

"The son-in-law invites the queen mother Wan'an." Mu Chengzhou made a rare bend of his knees and said goodbye.

The Queen Mother glanced at him, "When did Your Majesty become so filial?" The mourners have never seen it. ”

Mu Chengzhou smiled contemptuously: "The queen mother wants to change the law to see her son, but it is not easy to say it directly, so the son-in-law can only do some disgusting superficial work to coax your old man to be proud." ”

The Queen Mother got up and sat down on the chair of the princess, "You and my mother and son don't have to be formal. The mourning family knows what you are here for, if you want to intercede for Yang Leyu's companion, then Your Majesty should please go back. The law is like a mountain, and no one can shake it. ”

Mu Chengzhou looked at her, "When the heat can shake, as long as this real murderer is me, isn't it?" ”

The Empress Dowager's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at him, "Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, and the queen of heaven and earth all belong to the son of heaven." The Son of Heaven is naturally infallible. ”

Mu Chengzhou sneered: "This is you, Xu Jiezhen, haven't you been tired of pretending to be acting all your life?" ”

The Queen Mother did not respond, "The mourning family asks you, are you willing to take the blame for her partner?" ”

Mu Chengzhou knows the pros and cons, if he doesn't take the blame, Wu Buyue will be beheaded, and Yang Leyu will be very sad, how can he bear to watch her grief? If he is guilty, Wu Buyue and Yang Leyu will naturally be safe and sound, and he will not be punished at all, but what awaits him will be the spurning of the people of the world.

The Empress Dowager straightened her back confidently, as if she believed that he would carry out the latter.

Mu Chengzhou looked at her coldly, "You're right, I am the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven should do everything, in that case, why don't I let you be the murderer behind this scene?" ”

"You can't." The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief in her chest, "Because the mourning family knows Concubine Zhuang's secret." ”

Mu Chengzhou's pupils shrank suddenly, "What do you know?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "What the mourning family knows depends on which path Your Majesty chooses." ”

Mu Chengzhou's gaze seemed to burn through the person in front of him, but he still bowed his head after a moment: "I can take the blame." ”

"Good." The Empress Dowager raised her voice and stroked her palms, "Nie Qing, go and get a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for Your Majesty, and serve the Son of Heaven to write an edict." ”

Murder and punishment, once the edict is promulgated in the world, the people will believe that the new emperor killed the widow of the first emperor and the dragon heir in her womb.

It doesn't matter, compared to the secret of Concubine Zhuang's death, these are nothing. Mu Chengzhou secretly clenched his fists in his sleeves.

Under the bright lights, he leaned over to hold the pen and wrote the edict in front of the Buddhist shrine one by one, distorting the truth and covering up the truth. Even if this truth is within reach, even if it may be jaw-dropping.
