Before dawn on the morning of the second day, Ye Ninglu was rudely escorted by soldiers to the main trial hall of the Tingwei Mansion. Already kneeling there awaiting trial was the young man who was willing to put his life on the line to frame her.

Unlike Ye Ninglu's unharmed, in just one night, the young man was already covered with scars, his white prison uniform was covered with red blood that had been coagulated, his face was pale, and there was a trace of fresh blood that had just been born at the corner of his mouth.

"I have no grievances with you, why did you fight for your life to frame me?"

Unexpectedly, the man was not half moved by Ye Ninglu's words full of concern, and still showed his original frightened and overwhelmed appearance.

"Concubine Ye, don't blame me, let alone my family, the fact that someone broke us is definitely not my secret, you have to believe me!"

As he spoke, the man also squeezed out a few tear petals very realistically, the kind of pitiful appearance that only a woman can show made the officials present cry bitterly, and the resentment towards Ye Ninglu on the side was aggravated.

Ye Ninglu knelt on the main trial hall for two hours, and Xiao Qingyu appeared in front of the officials, but he didn't come in on foot, but entered the main trial hall in a wheelchair, and the person who had been pushing the wheelchair behind him was none other than Ye Ningxiang, Ye Ninglu's nemesis.

For two months, Xiao Qingyu suspended the early dynasty on the grounds of physical discomfort, and all matters in the court were handed over to Prime Minister Feng Jingzhi, Taiwei Zhou Yin, and Imperial Historian Sun Hao. Xiao Qingyu, who had not appeared for a long time, appeared again, and the officials who were actually present were shocked enough.

Because his whole person has lost his appearance, he is still extremely handsome between his eyebrows and eyes, but he has no energy at all, and the whole person is weakly paralyzed in a wheelchair, if it weren't for him still with his eyes open, everyone present would have a kind of Ye Ningxiang pushing a dead man into the Tingwei Mansion.

Tingwei's leader had seen the world in the end, but he was shocked for a moment, and immediately regained his previous composure, and took the lead in kneeling down to Xiao Qingyu and kowtowing to say goodbye. Seeing the chief doing this, those officials who were stunned for a moment also knelt on the ground.

Xiao Qingyu struggled to move his elbow but never raised the arm he wanted to raise, he smiled bitterly, looked up at Ye Ningxiang behind him, nodded at her, and motioned for her to let those officials be flattened.

"The emperor told you all to be flat. ”

After serving Xiao Qingyu for a long time, Ye Ningxiang and Xiao Qingyu actually had a tacit understanding, and Xiao Qingyu would understand what Xiao Qingyu wanted to express with a glance. As long as it is not unfavorable to Ye Ningxiang, Ye Ningxiang will also help Xiao Qingyu convey what he thinks completely.

Then Xiao Qingyu looked at Ye Ninglu, whose face was full of tears and his eyes were swollen like two peaches, and sighed lightly with some regret.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, the concubine was framed!"

Xiao Qingyu, who was almost paralyzed, naturally couldn't speak quickly while Ye Ninglu was speaking, so the right to speak fell into Ye Ningxiang's hands again.

"Your Majesty, can this case be tried?"

Xiao Qingyu looked at Ye Ningxiang, who had been very calm from beginning to end, with a trace of sentimentality on her face, slowly closed her eyes, and nodded again.

The whole case was tried by Tingwei's superiors, and Xiao Qingyu and Ye Ningxiang were just listening. Under such a big battle, although the young man pretended to be extremely frightened, his words did not change at all, and he still believed that Ye Ninglu threatened him, and he was forced to do something with the imperial concubine.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Ajiu is talking nonsense, it's not the concubine's mother who helped Cheng Ajiu enter the palace, it's not that the concubine wants to do things with Cheng Ajiu, it's not that everyone sees this!"

Ye Ninglu knelt while crawling to Xiao Qingyu's feet, constantly pulling the hem of Xiao Qingyu's clothes, and the strong desire to survive made people feel pity.

However, Xiao Qingyu is not a sentimental person, let alone a caring person, in this world, he probably only cares about Ye Ningxiang, Xiao Chengyong and Gao Fei, and the rest of them are like mustard in his eyes.

Ye Ninglu was stupid and fell into the way of others, and he fell into this situation where jumping into the Yellow River could not be washed away today, and he Xiao Qingyu really had no reason to help such a not very shrewd but vicious woman. He closed his eyes and opened his mouth in a rare way.

"I don't admit emotion, I don't admit reason, I only believe in evidence. ”

A short sentence has clearly indicated Xiao Qingyu's position, he will not interfere too much in Ye Ninglu's affairs, the officials of Tingwei can only handle it normally according to the evidence, as for how to punish Ye Ninglu and the accomplice Ye Liu's business, he Xiao Qingyu will definitely not interfere too much.

Hearing this, the presiding judge finally breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he would still be worried about how to try the case, and even sweat in the cold winter because of nervousness.

Introducing the case through the death penalty and the exile

In the following time, Ye Liu was also taken to the Tingwei Mansion and confronted Cheng Ajiu, the little Langjun she had brought back. She has a great relationship with Cheng Ajiu, which is not a secret in the Ye Mansion, and now she naturally does not dare to hide the truth in this hall. So she dragged her trembling body and kowtowed while admitting the fact that she knew Cheng Ajiu.

Although Ye Liu's repeated emphasis that she did not secretly help Cheng Ajiu enter the palace to meet Ye Ninglu, the palace entry and exit token that should have belonged to Ye Liu's body searched from Cheng Ajiu's body once again made Ye Liu's refutation pale and weak.

Two hours later, after careful deliberation, the officials of Tingwei determined the guilt and punishment of Ye Ninglu, Ye Liu, and Cheng Ajiu.

Ye Ninglu is the imperial concubine, but she did something unscrupulous with others to insult the dignity of the royal family, gave Bai Aya, and left the whole corpse. Ye Liu helped Ye Ninglu to do unrighteous things, committed the crime of great disrespect, and was sentenced to beheading, and executed the next day. And Cheng Ajiu, as the person who brought a green hat to Emperor Xiao Qingyu with his own hands, could not escape death, and was sentenced to beheading like Ye Liu.

Hearing such a verdict, Ye Ninglu desperately ran in the direction of Ye Ningxiang regardless of her identity, as if she wanted to fight to the death with Ye Ningxiang, and kept shouting Ye Ningxiang's words about framing her. And Ye Liu was already limp and crying, and soon fainted on the ground.

Although Xiao Qingyu never planned to save these two people who were framed by Ye Ningxiang, but looking at their desire to live and their emotional collapse before they died, his heart couldn't help but ache faintly, and after a long sigh, he closed his eyes, unwilling to pay attention to the affairs of the Ye family.

In the early morning of the second day, before dawn, the screams of a middle-aged woman crying wolves echoed in the Tingwei Heavenly Prison. Ye Liu struggled with all his might, unwilling to obediently enter the prison car, let alone die obediently. But there was no way a weak woman who was old could resist these strong jailers. In the end, she was tied up and sent to the prison car.

Unlike Ye Liu's desperate resistance, Cheng Ajiu was unusually quiet, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end, and outsiders would think he was stupid, but in fact, the Cheng Ajiu in front of him was no longer the Cheng Ajiu who gritted his teeth and helped Ye Ningxiang commit perjury yesterday.

Cheng Ajiu is the most outstanding shadow guard adopted by Gu Liancheng and secretly cultivated for many years, and he originally sent Cheng Ajiu to Ye Ningxiang's side with the intention of sending someone with outstanding ability to protect Ye Ningxiang's safety, but Mu Bai never thought that the dead man Ye Ningxiang said really wanted to take this person's life.

After all, he is his outstanding subordinate, and he has become a stepping stone for others and ends up with no corpse, which is really miserable. After thinking about it, Mu Bai decided to replace Cheng Ajiu's identity and die on his behalf, and at the same time rescued Cheng Ajiu back to Damingyue Palace.

said that he wore a human skin mask and used the technique of disguise makeup, and his appearance looked no different from Cheng Ajiu, but he Mubai was not a professional disguise master after all, and his voice did not know how to change, so at the moment, he had to try to avoid making a sound to reduce the chance of revealing flaws.

All in all, Mu Bai's disguise of Cheng Ajiu was still very successful, because when Ye Ningxiang came to Tingwei to say goodbye to Ye Liu's family, she didn't realize that the man sitting in the prison car in front of her was no longer the Cheng Ajiu of yesterday.

After counting the evil qi in Ye Liu's mouth, Ye Ningxiang walked towards the depths of the heavenly prison. She wanted to see what kind of reaction Ye Ninglu would have at the moment, and she still had something she wanted to say to Ye Ninglu.

"Sister, how are you doing this night?"

Knowing that Ye Ninglu must be extremely angry at this moment, Ye Ningxiang still deliberately asked like this, and her words also revealed a kind of victor's arrogant posture.

In just one night, Ye Ninglu seemed to be a different person, her cheeks were sunken, her eye circles were red and black, and the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes never stopped.

"Ye Ningxiang, you have won, why do you still come here to see my jokes?

Ye Ninglu clutched the wooden cage in the heavenly prison while crying and shouting.

"Sister, sister really cares about you, why are you so ruthless. ”

After that, Ye Ningxiang sighed heavily, as if she was very sorry for Ye Ninglu's imminent death.

"Actually, you and your mother don't have to die. ”

Hearing this, Ye Ninglu, who was originally crying, stopped crying, and looked forward to Ye Ningxiang's next words with wide eyes.

"I heard that there is a new thing in the Tingwei Mansion recently, it seems to be called the Bone Pool, which was transferred by Tingwei from the Dali Temple in the north of Jing'an with great effort. I heard that many years ago, a lyre girl accidentally put her hand into the bone pool to save her beloved man, but in an instant, several of her fingers were corroded. ”

The more Ye Ningxiang spoke, the more excited she became, as if she wanted to see this bone-turning pool water corroding human bones and blood immediately, and Ye Ninglu on the side was already pale and her hands were trembling, because she had already guessed that Ye Ningxiang wanted to use this miserable bone-turning pool water to deal with her.

"You...... What do you mean by that?"

Ye Ninglu took two steps back, her teary eyes full of horror.

"It's not anything special, it's just to give you one more path to choose from. If you have the courage to plunge an arm into this pool of bones, I will intercede with the Emperor to spare your life and that of your mother. You still have two hours to think about it. ”

The pain of flesh and blood was unbearable at all, but as soon as she heard that this could be exchanged for her and her mother's birth, and her son would not become an orphan without his mother's love, Ye Ninglu didn't think about it for long before giving Ye Ningxiang a response.

"I'm willing, I'm willing to put an arm into the bone-pool. ”
