In the torture hall of Dali Temple, in order to save her son Lingyun, Princess Changqing fought-for-tat with Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan, and the situation once fell into a stalemate.

At this time, the flag officer shouted: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The timely arrival of Emperor Zhao Yu undoubtedly became the best opportunity to break the stalemate in front of him.

Princess Changqing, along with Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan, all subconsciously exhaled a breath from the bottom of their hearts; But then the string that had loosened a little in everyone's hearts tightened again.

What does the arrival of the emperor mean, whether it is good or bad for them, and what the final outcome will be, everyone has no bottom in their hearts, and they only feel that the panicked heart is beating helplessly in their chests.

And how did the emperor come about?

At that time, the emperor was in the court, and suddenly Feng Chaoying, the head of the inner house, came over quietly, and whispered in his ear: "Holy Lord, the prince of Jinling has an urgent matter to see you outside, saying that it seems that there is an accident on Lingyun's side......"

The emperor couldn't sit still when he heard this, so he hastily ended the morning dynasty and rushed to the back hall.

After listening to the report of the prince of Jinling, he couldn't help but be angry; Without saying a word, he rushed to the torture hall of Dali Temple by riding the dragon chariot wind and fire.

When everyone saw the emperor arrive, they hurriedly knelt down to take over the car, and the mountain shouted long live.

The emperor walked into the hall with a gloomy face, surrounded by Zhao Fu, the prince of Jinling, and Feng Chaoying, the head of the inner house.

He stopped, turned his face, glanced at the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground in fear, snorted casually, and ordered everyone to be even.

The attendant next to him hurriedly and respectfully moved to Jindun.

The emperor was sitting precariously, looking at the two bold and reckless courtiers in front of him with scrutinizing eyes, and said coldly: "Ding Jinzhi, Li Zhishan, are you guilty?" ”

The two of them were as pale as earth, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "Weichen is stupid, I don't know what I did wrong, and I ask the Holy Lord to make it clear." ”

The emperor's slightly frowning eyebrows revealed a fierceness, "I have made a decree, as long as there is news of Lingyun, you must report to me as soon as possible, what did you do?" Do you really want to keep me in the dark? ”

Ding Jinzhi trembled all over, and said in a trembling voice: "The old minister is guilty, but he is just ......"

The emperor said impatiently: "Okay, I don't have time to listen to your long-winded explanations, from now on, you don't have to worry about interrogating Ling Yun!" Stand down. ”

What, they don't have to worry about interrogating Ling Yun? So today, all the toss they have worked hard and hollowed out has become a waste of work?

It turns out that in the end, they all made wedding clothes for the emperor? Alas, it seems that the emperor is worthy of being the emperor, that is, he is good at grasping the opportunity and acting at the opportunity!

Just a few words of understatement, they put the "fruits of labor" that they got with great difficulty into their own pockets, and they did not show their faces, and they crossed the water without a trace, which is really a thousand pounds!

The more Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan thought about it, the more aggrieved they became, and the more aggrieved they became, the more angry they became. Although he was very unwilling in his heart, he didn't dare to show any resentment on his face.

The two of them only kowtowed to the emperor with gloomy faces, and then got up stupidly, hung their heads and walked down to the hall.

After sending away these two courtiers with impure motives and ill intentions, the emperor focused all his energy on the bold and bold man in front of him, who had made him hate the roots of his teeth but had nothing to do, angry and hateful.

"Lingyun, you've made it so hard for me to find it!"

The emperor's face instantly turned cold, his eyebrows and eyes were full of depression, and the anger on his body instantly increased several times, which made people tremble.

He stared at Ling Yun coldly, his voice sinking with gloom, "These days, you have gone up to the heavens and into the earth, turned the rivers and seas upside down, turned the Jinghua upside down, and disturbed the people of the court - I have broken my heart and broken my brain for you, you are really capable!" ”

Ling Yun's body couldn't help but stiffen, and he leaned down and said, "Ling Yun is guilty. ”

"You are to be convicted. For these crimes alone, I would not be too much to condemn you to death ten times! ”

The emperor's black pupils were like a quiet deep pool, condescendingly pressing, which made Ling Yun's heart panic, and he could only bow his head and say nothing.

The emperor looked forced and said, "Lingyun, why don't you speak?" ”

Ling Yun's throat rolled twice, and the hand on his side slowly tightened, "Ling Yun knows that the death penalty is inevitable, and he has nothing to say. However, Holy Lord, before you sentence Ling Yun to the crime, can you allow Ling Yun to reveal all the evidence related to the prince's case and Lord Lu's grievances that he has investigated in the capital and Ouchi in the past few days, so that Ling Yun will die without regrets. ”

The emperor pondered for a moment, "How is Lu Wenzheng now?" ”

Ling Yun's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said in a voiced voice: "Lord Lu has ...... He's dead! ……”

The emperor's heart sank, "What? ”

Ling Yun's expression was sad, and he bowed his head and was silent.

The emperor was stunned for a long time, and said silently: "Tell me, how did he die?" ”

Ling Yun took a deep breath, tried to calm the pain and struggle in his heart, and said silently: "This matter involves a wide range of issues, can you allow Ling Yun to report this matter to the Holy Lord alone?" ”

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief, a look of relief appeared on his gloomy face, and he kowtowed, "Thank you, Holy Lord." ”

The emperor sneered and said, "But Ling Yun, don't be too happy. Although I promised not to kill you for the time being, but now the death penalty is suspended, and the living crime cannot be escaped! Otherwise, how will they be convinced, and how will the people be angry? Lingyun, what do you think? ”

Ling Yun's heart was cold, his eyes were gloomy, and he said dumbly: "Ling Yun is at the disposal of the saint." ”

The emperor's cold eyes swept away, revealing endless cold and cold, and said sharply: "Okay! In this way, I will first inflict a light punishment on you, so as to set an example - come here, take Lingyun down, and punish you with a hundred rods! ”

What, a hundred rods? Everyone present was instantly shocked by this number. How much resentment does the emperor have to have towards Ling Yun to say such a sensational figure with angry eyes and teeth - this is clearly the rhythm of putting people to death!

Princess Changqing heard the words that made her tremble when she heard the emperor's words squeezing out between her teeth, her face suddenly turned pale, and her body trembled involuntarily.

Before she could react, the guards on both sides of the execution had already rushed up, and they couldn't say that they were holding her son hostage ruthlessly.

What puzzled her was that the person in front of her who was about to be brutally abused was unusually calm at this time.

He smiled helplessly as if he didn't feel pain, with a bit of self-deprecation; Then he slowly got up from the ground, and without saying a word, followed the guards to the bottom of the hall.

Seeing her son being pushed and shoved out in front of her, Princess Evergreen only felt terrified.

She stumbled a few steps in front of the emperor, fell to her knees with a thud, and cried: "The courtiers weep blood and bow down, and beg the saint to spare Lingyun's punishment this time, and Lingyun's punishment courtiers are willing to receive it on their behalf!" ”

The emperor was stunned and said, "What does the imperial aunt mean by this?" Ling Yun is innocent of his crimes, and now I am only punishing him lightly, how can the imperial aunt stop him? ”

Princess Evergreen cried: "One Ling Yun is now injured and cannot bear any torture; Second, although Ling Yun is guilty, he is dedicated to investigating the prince's case, and his loyalty is evident from the sky;

"The third Lingyun is the son of a courtier, what mother in the world can watch her son suffer and be indifferent? I only ask the saint to see it in front of the courtiers and let Ling Yun go this time! ……”

The more she talked, the more sad she became, and she couldn't stop crying when she said it.

- Alas, son, son, he is your son...... Come to this set again, and play the emotional card with me again - I'm really speechless! He has committed such a great crime, can I bend the law and spare him easily just because he is your son?

The emperor rolled his eyes at Princess Evergreen helplessly, and complained in his heart.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, so what if Ling Yun is the son of the imperial aunt?" If I let him go this time, how can I punish others next time? Imperial aunt, I can't promise you. ”

- The emperor is really ruthless! No wonder people say: ruthless is the most emperor's family, alas, it seems that I am still too naïve! ……

The emperor's fluttering words were like a heavy hammer, mercilessly hitting the heart of Princess Evergreen.

She felt a pang of misery in her heart. At that moment, she could barely support her staggering body, and if it weren't for the maids on both sides to support her, she would probably have fallen to the ground.

She stayed for a long time, suddenly struggling to get up, and walked down the hall without looking back.

Outside, on the execution ground, Ling Yun had been stripped of his clothes, revealing his shirtless back; Two guards were holding him by the arm, and two other vicious guards were brutally executing.

The spine rod struck the body, and the rod saw blood; In the blink of an eye, Ling Yun's smooth back was already covered with flesh and blood.

Ling Yun felt that his whole body was in pain and he couldn't move, and his eyes and tongue were filled with a cold and stinging chill; His teeth bit uncontrollably, and blood spilled down his pale face, dripping onto the snow-white placket of his chest; The red and white are set off, mottled and dripping, which makes people feel cold and sad.

"Thirty-five...... Forty...... Forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven......"

The tragic abuse is still going on like crazy, perhaps because of some special evil interest, that is, I like to watch handsome guys being abused, and the execution guards report the numbers loudly, and their eyes reveal undisguised excitement and evil.

The dazzling sunlight at noon reflected strangely on his face through the sparse flowers and trees next to him, and the light and shadow on his body were mottled and bleak like frost.

The heart-piercing pain was intensifying, Ling Yun's forehead was drenched in cold sweat, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained a little bit, and gradually his consciousness began to blur......

Seeing the bloody and tragic situation in front of her, Princess Evergreen felt as if her heart had been resolutely pulled out and ruthlessly thrown into the ice and snow, her whole body was cold, and her teeth trembled uncontrollably.

She stared at the spine that fell every time—every bloody blow to Ling Yun's body, but it seemed to hit her heart hard.

She rushed forward like crazy, prostrated on Ling Yun's back desperately, tightly protected her bloody son with her delicate body, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Stop! …… If you want to fight, hit me first! ”……
