Chapter 109: The Scapegoat

In the lobby of Dali Temple, everyone whispered, patiently waiting for Xiao Yongyan and Mo Ruxue to come out.

About two pillars of incense later, the door of the room opened, and Xiao Yongyan walked out of it first, followed by Mo Ruxue.

Xiao Yongyan looked at the people standing and said, "Sit down, what are you doing standing!"

Everyone looked confused, obediently complied, stood where they should stand, sat where they should sit, knelt when they should kneel, and returned to the way they were when the case was heard.

Chu Chu was terrified in her heart, she didn't know what agreement Mo Ruxue and Xiao Yongyan had reached.

She pulled Chu Liyan's sleeve, the two glanced at each other, Chu Liyan patted the back of her hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, my father will do his best to protect you." ”

Chu Chu moved back to his original position and knelt down.

Mo Ruxue smiled slyly at her, laughing so hard that Chu Chu's heart was furious, and she quickly lowered her head.

Xiao Yuanbi sat back on the upper seat, and for a while he was on pins and needles, he didn't know what Xiao Yongyan was going to do.

He looked at Xiao Yongyan like a plea for help: "Your Majesty, look at this case......"

"I have read all the testimony that King Luo gave me just now, and I have also listened to the testimony of these witnesses, and the real murderer is kneeling at the bottom of the hall! The real murderer is cunning, and he almost fooled me through, it is simply an unforgivable crime!"

Xiao Yongyan's sharp gaze swept at the people kneeling in the hall.

The people kneeling in the hall and others were already trembling with fright, and some were crying with fright.

Xiao Yonghan glanced at Mo Ruxue, who was kneeling there calmly, and then looked away, waiting for Xiao Yongyan to continue the trial inexplicably.

The lobby was so quiet that a needle could be heard, waiting for Xiao Yongyan to announce the results.

Xiao Yongyan cleared his throat: "The real murderer who poisoned Yun Qian'er is her maid Meixiang!"

"She stole Chu Chu's calligraphy and paintings, and wanted to take them to Mo Ruxue, but she was rejected by Mo Ruxue, and she wanted to swallow it privately, but she didn't expect to be discovered by Yun Qian'er!"

She had no choice but to give the calligraphy and painting to Yun Qian'er, but secretly she always held a grudge, thinking that Yun Qian'er was blocking her financial path, so she did something to the calligraphy and painting. ”

After that palace banquet, Yun Qian'er unexpectedly had a fever, so she hurriedly asked Mo Ruxue to see Yun Qian'er, and successfully planted all this on Mo Ruxue, and she stayed out of the matter. ”

"This Diao slave is really hateful, and the people of Luowangfu are going to clean it up. Princess Luo, after this incident, you have to worry more about this backyard matter!"

Mo Ruxue bowed respectfully and replied: "What the emperor taught is that the concubines have been taught!"

She lowered her head, and felt uncomfortable. knew that Mei Xiang was also wronged, but Xiao Yongyan was determined to protect Chu Chu.

As soon as Chu Liyan came back, many of the civil officials thought that he was the first to follow, although Prime Minister Qin was the head of the hundred officials, but he was too indecisive in doing things, and many people disagreed with him.

Now in the court, Chu Liyan and Mo Xu check and balance each other, which is exactly the result that Xiao Yongyan hopes to see.

Mei Xiang dragged her scarred body and lay on the ground listening to Xiao Yongyan's trial results, her heart was like ashes, she blamed herself for being too greedy, if she had returned the calligraphy and painting directly to Chu Chu at the beginning, wouldn't there be these things?

She was made a scapegoat! Yes, who cares about the life of a slave?

Everyone in the lobby couldn't react to this unexpected result for a while, you look at me, I look at you, and no one dares to object.

Originally, when the case was tried, they were still aggressive towards Mo Ruxue, and the Chu family and the Yun family, who wanted to seek justice, were silent.

Who dares to question the case tried by the emperor himself?

Mo Xu and Mo Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief, and Mo Xu couldn't help but glance at Mo Ruxue again, this daughter may be more useful than he imagined.

Mo Zifeng grinned happily, walked to Chong Mo Ruxue's side with a smile, and helped her up: "Sister, great, the emperor is wise and martial, and finally you are innocent!

Mo Ruxue looked at this simple brother like Erha, she sighed helplessly, I'm afraid he is the only one in this hall who will be so naΓ―ve!

Xiao Yonghan walked up to Mo Ruxue and whispered a few words in her ear, and Mo Ruxue glanced at the pothos who had been lowering her head.

Mei Xiang was sentenced to be executed, and the rest of the people were acquitted, but Mo Ruxue's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

The group returned to the palace and rested for a while.

Luluo returned to Liuliyuan and kept kneeling in the courtyard, making Xia He and Mama Zhang and others inexplicable.

Mo Ruxue walked up to her: "Come with me!"

Pothos hurriedly got up and followed her to the inner room.

Mo Ruxue: "Actually, I already knew that you were his person, the first time you entered the palace with me, you showed a calmness that was different from ordinary people, and you didn't panic at all when you saw Xiao Yongyan, and I began to doubt you from then on." ”

"You've been lurking around me for so long, and you've done nothing to hurt me. If he comes forward to testify for me this time, I'm afraid he won't spare you, right?"

"The slave never thought that she would be able to go back alive!"

"You know so many things, even if I wanted to let you go, he wouldn't let you leave Kyoto alive. It's a rebuff, drink it, I can help you escape!"

Mo Ruxue put a small green porcelain vase on the table and left.

Pothos stood up on the table, picked up the bottle and sniffed it between her nose, her eyes were cold, and she picked up the small porcelain bottle and put it in her arms and walked out of the room.

She went back to her room, picked up a brown paper bag, and slipped out the side door.

Mo Ruxue and Xiao Yonghan stood side by side outside the side door, looking at the figure that was about to disappear.

"Could it be that I'm blind?" Mo Ruxue said in a daze, her face a little lonely.

Xiao Yonghan asked with a serious face, "What is in the brown paper bag?"

"It's just a limerick! What do you think?"

Her expression returned to normal, and the loneliness just now was fleeting.

"What? He went to great lengths to put an eyeliner just for a limerick? I don't believe it!"

"If you don't believe it, I'll also publish a poetry collection, so those who want to see my talent don't have to be so sneaky. ”

She learned from the merry genius on TV, opened a paper fan and fanned it up, bowed her head and sighed: "It's a sin to be too talented!"

Xiao Yonghan: "......"

"Sin or not, I don't know, I just know that others must look at you like a fool, I'll go first, you continue to fan!"

Xiao Yonghan looked at the strange gazes cast by the people passing by, and quickly slipped away.

Mo Ruxue closed the fan and stared ahead, her eyes were empty, and she didn't know how long the secret in the brown paper bag could be kept!

The side hall of the Royal Palace.

Xiao Yongyan sat on the chair and looked at the pothos kneeling on the ground.

He sneered: "You still dare to come back? Aren't you in a hurry to show loyalty to Mo Ruxue? What are you doing when you come back?"

"The subordinates are the emperor's people, and they dare not forget the tasks assigned by the emperor to their subordinates for a moment!"

"Then you mean you've completed your mission, and the information you want to say had better be useful, or I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life!"

Pothos took out the brown paper bag from her bosom and offered it with both hands.

Xiao Yongyan took it and read it one by one, Long Yan was furious: "This is what you showed me?"

Xiao Yongyan directly threw the kraft paper bag into the face of the pothos along with the paper.

The pothos hurriedly picked it up, her face pale: "How can this be...... How so?"

"I watched her put her things under the bed...... How did it become a ...... of these poems?"

Xiao Yongyan approached her, approached her face and asked, "What should this be?"

"It should be evidence of Mo Xu's corruption and perversion of the law, she asked her subordinates to intercept King Luo's secret guard on the official road and then snatched it. ”

"It's been so long since that happened, and you're only here to report it now?"

Xiao Yongyan gritted her teeth in anger and threw a tea cup on the head of the pothos, and the blood on the forehead of the pothos suddenly flowed, and she still knelt there upright.

"The subordinates didn't know what it was at first, but they found out about it after multiple verifications......"

"Don't make up stories, is it that Mo Ruxue already knows your identity and wants to kill you, so you want to take out things and give them to me?"

Luluo hurriedly shook his head: "No...... No...... The subordinate is ......"

She just wants to live, she doesn't want to die!

In a panic, the small green bottle rolled out of his arms and rolled to Xiao Yongyan's feet.

Green Pothos panicked, she had always been calm, but she was scared for the first time......

Gonggong Li walked over and picked up the porcelain bottle, opened the cork and put it between his nose and sniffed it, and reported to Xiao Yongyan softly: "It smells like crane top red, but it's a little different, if the slave didn't guess wrong, this should be a long-lost soul!"

"Is it really gone?" Luluo suddenly froze there, it turned out that Mo Ruxue didn't want to kill her...... I really want to save her!

Xiao Yongyan has been in the palace since he was a child, and he has never heard of this thing, he frowned and looked at Gonggong Li.

Gonggong Li hurriedly explained: "This resurrection soul will be killed immediately after eating, and the death is the same as the crane top red, and after twelve hours, people will be revived again, hence the name." ”

"But this medicine has been lost for a long time, I don't know how Princess Luo can have ......"

Xiao Yongyan snorted lightly: "Princess Luo is really surrounded by talented people!"

The deep coldness between the words made Gonggong Li can't help but chuckle in his heart.

"I'll leave this traitor to you, don't leave any trouble!"

Xiao Yongyan said and left.

Gonggong Li took out a blue vial from his body and walked to the side of the green pothos: "This is the real Heding Red, drink it! ”

The green pothos took it tremblingly, and wept suddenly: "Princess...... Slave and maid are sorry for you! If there is an afterlife...... I don't want to be human anymore...... I'm so tired!"

She drank it without hesitation, and within a few moments she was poisoned to death!
