Chapter 238
"The second emperor brother is injured, don't work too hard. After Zhuang Mengdie finished speaking, she sat in front of the dressing table and watched Zhuang Feiyu go out of the inner room, she just sat quietly until she couldn't hear Zhuang Feiyu's footsteps at all, and then got up and bolted the door.
Zhuang Mengdie, who was in a complicated mood, walked to the cabinet in front of the windowsill, and opened the door of the cabinet without thinking, the cabinet was specially used by her for wine, and when she was in a bad mood, she always liked to lock herself in the room alone, and drink until the sky was dark by the windowsill.
Opening the cupboard, Zhuang Mengdie picked up a wine jug casually, but found that the wine jug was empty, and it was replaced by two or three in a row, but it was still empty. Zhuang Mengdie was so excited that she didn't have time to think about when these wine jugs were empty.
After drinking a cup of tea, Zhuang Mengdie sat back in front of the dressing table again, in the bronze mirror, the woman with a pale face, but still unable to hide her posture was looking at her lightly, Zhuang Mengdie reached out and gently stroked the cheek of the beautiful but sick woman in the mirror, and sighed lightly.
The next morning, the civil and military officials in the court discussed how to execute the poisoned mother, and stabbed Zhuang Feiyu on the spot Zhuang Fuyao who escaped from the imperial city, Zhuang Mengdie didn't have to think about it to know that this matter was definitely pushed by someone behind the scenes, either King Yun, who had reached a cooperative relationship with her, or Zhuang Feiyu, who wanted to clear the obstacles for her.
However, Lin Yuanxiao, who has disappeared in the rivers and lakes for many years, I don't know who released the news of General Lin's reappearance in the rivers and lakes, and there are many female officials who were officials in the court who admired Lin Yuanxiao's heroic posture back then, and they were even fascinated by his self-created swordsmanship.
The court was divided into two factions and argued, one faction asked King Yun to send troops to arrest Zhuang Fuyao, the Son of Heaven committed the same crime as the common people, Zhuang Fuyao poisoned and killed his mother, and injured his hands and feet.
The other faction was not to be outdone, insisting that Zhuang Fuyao must have been framed, as long as she did not confess in court, she could not be convicted by the one-sided words of the Second Highness, and even mentioned the funeral of Empress Zhuang, Zhuang Fuyao was executed again, and the biggest beneficiary was the Third Highness Zhuang Mengdie, asking King Yun to re-investigate the poisoning of Empress Zhuang.
To put it bluntly, some of the courtiers who were in a state of neutrality were also moved, and nodded frequently, thinking that it was necessary to investigate the poisoning of Her Majesty again.
The dispute between the two sides became more and more intense, and even some of them were irritable, and they had begun to push each other, and King Yun, who was sitting quietly on a high place, looked at the ministers below who were becoming more and more disregarded for the image of the court, his face became more and more gloomy, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.
However, where can the courtiers who want to compete for superiority still care about observing words and feelings, just when the two sides are fighting for red faces, King Yun finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the table heavily, which startled the courtiers below, and finally closed his mouth when he raised his eyes and saw the gloom in King Yun's eyes. But they still glared at each other unconvinced, as if they wanted to cut each other with a thousand knives.
"There are endless quarrels in the main hall, and even hands, don't you all take this king in your eyes?!" King Yun raised his voice, and the civil and military officials returned to their official positions one after another, neatly lined up in two columns.
"Her Majesty's poisoning, the day after the court this king has been investigated with the imperial doctor, the day of the empress's poisoning is not bad with what the second highness said, Her Majesty's personal maid this king has also been detained and asked one by one, on the day of the poisoning of Her Majesty, His Royal Highness did enter the palace to send tonic soup for the empress, if the ministers have any doubts, this king will order someone to bring the imperial doctor and the maid up, you can ask and investigate!"
After King Yun finished speaking, he shouted outside the main hall again: "Someoneββ"
Before the guards guarding outside the hall could answer, a cold voice came in from outside the hall, and with the sound coming in, a black suit broke into the hall in a way that everyone didn't have time to see.
"There is no need to investigate the poisoning of Her Majesty!"
When all the ministers saw the man in black clearly, their faces showed an expression of disbelief, and the person who came turned out to be Lin Yuanxiao, who had disappeared for more than ten years.
"It's General Lin, it's really General Lin. β
"I didn't expect that more than ten years have passed, and there is still a chance to see General Lin enter the imperial city again. β
"General Lin is still so handsome and dashing, and he has a good demeanor. β
"It seems that the rumors are good, General Lin really reappeared for His Royal Highness......"
......
A whisper suddenly sounded above the court, and everyone's eyes fell on Lin Yuanxiao, who was dressed in black and standing straight.
Lin Yuanxiao hung his sword on his waist, and not only did he not bury his demeanor as a general during the years he was hidden in the rivers and lakes, but his days in the rivers and lakes also allowed him to add a unique chivalrous spirit to the people of the rivers and lakes.
He stood at the foot of the white marble steps, raised his eyes to look at King Yun sitting on the throne of the emperor, and said loudly: "It was I who poisoned Her Majesty the Empress, and Shaker didn't know it, I have been running around in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and finally found a poison that is incurable and not easy to find. The poisoning of Her Majesty the Empress was done by me alone, and had nothing to do with Shao'er. β
Lin Yuanxiao's words rang loudly, and the top of the hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence, and then it was like exploding a pot. Not only the female officials were chattering, but even the male officers who rarely talked on weekdays joined the team, and there were many discussions.
Zhuang Mengdie was afraid that the ministers would completely clear up because of Lin Yuanxiao's words and the matter of Zhuang Fuyao and poisoning and killing his mother, so he took a step forward and just wanted to say something, but before the words could be spoken, he received a cold and murderous gaze from Lin Yuanxiao, such a gaze was like substance, even a person who practiced martial arts could not bear it, not to mention the soft and weak Zhuang Mengdie, Zhuang Mengdie only felt that Lin Yuanxiao's gaze could pierce her like a sharp sword, she was like a man's back, and she couldn't say anything for a while, so she had to bite her lip and retreat back to the position where she was standing.
Lin Yuanxiao saw Zhuang Feiyu secretly glancing at Zhuang Mengdie, and didn't care about Zhuang Feiyu, let alone the hundreds of officials around him who looked at him with different expressions, he refocused his eyes on King Yun's body, and said with a resolute face: "The matter of poisoning Her Majesty the Empress, I, Lin Yuanxiao, do things alone, I am willing to be martyred for Her Majesty the Empress, please let King Yun return Shao'er an innocence, do not ask King Yun to allow Shao'er to return to the imperial city and restore the identity of His Royal Highness, only ask King Yun to promise Xu Shao'er to leave Tianxuan Kingdom, and no one can investigate and shake Er for this matter." β
After Lin Yuanxiao's words were finished, he glanced at Zhuang Feiyu and Zhuang Mengdie meaningfully, his request was not too much at all, since he had cleared up the matter of Zhuang Fuyao poisoning and killing his mother, it was not too much for Zhuang Fuyao to restore his identity as His Royal Highness.
