Chapter 37
Hearing this, King Xuan stood up and walked towards Yun: "You said you like that witch, why don't you know about it, huh?"
Yun watched King Xuan approaching him step by step, his angry look and red eyes were fixed in front of his eyes.Suddenly, Yun felt someone approaching behind him, and instinctively prepared to turn around, but was suddenly hugged by King Xuan, causing a pain in his neck.What King Xuan saw was Yun's unbelievable gaze.
King Xuan embraced Yun, nodded to Hong Kuitai and said: "Let's step back first, I remember that the Shanggong mother who taught Xu Yanyu's etiquette to the concubines should still be alive, so let's start from there. But... Please be careful in everything, even if you can't detect it, you must save your life... The widow thinks that someone must be preventing us from unlocking the truth."
"Yes, to serve His Highness, I will never give up." Although there are many doubts, Hong Kuitai upholds the viewpoint of "never ask what should not be asked, and never say what should not be said".Perhaps because of this, I was one step faster than the Confucian scholars in Sungkyunkwan back then.
King Xuan carried Yun into the dark room, only to find a little blush on his hand.Xuan Wang secretly blamed himself for being too inattentive, and felt so guilty and distressed.Sigh, but, at that time it was really... Sigh, Yun, Yun, I really want to lock you up. If I lock you up, will I not have to be so ups and downs all the time, being happy and irritable for a while.However, what the widow likes is you like this, the kind of stubbornness that others can't see and... the waywardness that has begun to become obvious that you only show in front of me.
King Xuan thought about it, and put Qiyun's finger in his mouth, licking and sucking on the wound distressedly.
"Your Highness, the tea is here." Shan Heng's words interrupted the beauty of the room.
King Xuan settled down, calmed down, pretended to be calm and said, "Yun must have been too tired after guarding the widow for a night yesterday, so let him rest here. Shanheng, you follow the widow Together, let's go to the Juju field." King Xuan looked at Yun's peaceful sleeping face, and rubbed his frowning brows for him.Although I don't know why you are so persistent, but since you have spoken, the widow will do it for you.Will you be happy?
However, upon hearing this, Shan Heng knelt down: "But Your Highness, you are not only a man, but also the monarch of this country. What is the purpose of those...those thieves? Is it just to get the status of a lowly witch?" Is it life? They are trying to make Shilin, who you regard as the mainstay, turn away from you. If you take risks by force in order to get one person, you will lose a lot. You must give up that person. If... If If you go to the wedding venue to help her yourself, you will lose the support of all scholars! Miko Yue...is a smart person, I believe she can protect herself. Your Highness, you may as well trust her and wait with confidence Go ahead. This is the only way to save her and your country." Shan Heng tried hard to persuade.
King Xuan waved his hand seemingly indifferently: "I'm just going to have a look, I'll have my own measure."
On the court of Juju, the maiden only wore single clothes, and was tied to a chair performing Juju, her hands and feet were only bound.
"Why do you want to show your majesty?" the executioner—the Prime Minister's minion was questioning.
The witch sneered: "No matter how many times you ask, the villain's answer is the same. The villain...absolutely...has never practiced witchcraft..." The witch raised her head and stared at the executioner with wide eyes. .
The officials of Forbidden Justice Mansion were about to order the execution to begin, but they heard King Xuan's questioning growl—"What are you doing? Judging without the permission of the king—which country's law is this? "
"So many people around are watching, please ask in another place." The prime minister led his men down to meet King Xuan, and the words he said were not very respectful.
King Xuan stared into the prime minister's eyes for a moment, but finally dropped his clenched hands.Yun, I originally thought that I would never show weakness like this again... Yun, if I do this, after you know about it, will you have more feelings for me?King Xuan turned his head to look at the witch who was tied to a chair and dared not look directly at King Xuan, and finally signaled to the Prime Minister to lead the way.
The compartment in the Juju room was divided into two distinct parts, and there were only two people on King Xuan's side.
"Pull up without the king's order, do you intend to let the widow judge after you confess?" King Xuan fiercely scratched the two groups of ministers of the "pillars of the country" standing beside him with his eyes.
"Yes, that treacherous person not only prevented His Highness from consummating the marriage with the Empress in the middle hall, but also tried to make the country die of children and grandchildren, and also committed the crime of treason by letting the jade body go. How can we not step up the interrogation under such circumstances?"
"Do you have solid evidence?"
"Although there is no evidence yet, there is no evidence to prove her innocence. In order to find out the truth of the facts, the trial was stepped up."
"If she committed such a serious crime, let the widow come and push her to death."
Hearing this sentence, the prime minister, the old fox, laughed. Does King Xuan say that, does it mean that he really has feelings for that witch?From this point of view, things are much easier to handle.
"Absolutely not." The officials below advised one after another. "How can you face such a sinister woman?"
"Then, do you want to disobey the king's order?" King Xuan was still angered by these ministers who used to be obedient and disobedient, but now confronted face to face.
"How dare humble ministers disobey the king's order, but it is not the king's way to refuse advice. There are endless reports about the abolition of the Xingxiu Hall and the Zhaoge Office and the elimination of heresy. Your Highness, you can 'suppose based on cost. , set an example for the common people' ah." It was the Prime Minister who said this, obviously, after misunderstanding that the witch and the lord really had such an "unspeakable" relationship, he tried to use it as a threat In order to persecute this immature lord, he had to choose between the "beloved witch" and the "Hanlin who supported him".
"Your Highness, I beg you, don't worry about it anymore. If you are stubborn on this matter, scholars will definitely doubt your intentions." Since Your Highness has reached this point, then why not Make it clearer.With such thoughts in mind, the Prime Minister couldn't speak more bluntly.While speaking, he stared at the king of this country who was obviously still a child with "kind eyebrows and kind eyes".
In the judging field outside, the execution has already begun.But King Xuan, standing here, can't do anything.He looked at the witch, who stubbornly endured the heavy wooden stick hitting her leg until the blood stained her white clothes red.King Xuan clenched his fists tightly. The person who was hit in front of him was not only a witch, but also Li Xuan, and even the imperial power of the entire Li family.
The suppressed agitation in his heart made Li Xuan almost lose his eyesight due to the impact of anger.He heard the prime minister asking, "Where were you at that time? Who were you with? What were you doing?" It seemed that the witch would not be able to bear the punishment of being put on trial, and would certainly recognize the current Lord as planned. Your Highness, after the Prime Minister finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the Lord who was watching the execution.The look in the smiling eyes was half mocking, half provocative.
But the witch, who was so weak that she could barely speak, still insisted: "The villain...alone...in the Constellation Hall..."
"Hit me!" As if he had been slapped severely, the leader who had lost face in front of the Lord was a little annoyed.The executioner at the side knew what he meant, and hit the wooden stick harder and harder, making a blunt sound.
The witch bit her lips tightly, trying not to make a sound.
King Xuan felt that his eyes were moist, he couldn't bear to watch it anymore, just when he was about to call stop.Someone broke into the judging arena.
Seeing the person coming, King Xuan couldn't help sighing, Lord Yangming, who was so well-dressed into the palace, even himself rarely saw him like this.It turned out that he was the one the witch wanted to protect as much as possible?It turns out that the same is true for Yun's unspeakable reason?Priestess... and Clan...
"I'm here to prove her innocence... When Your Highness was attacked by evil spirits, she was with me." Jun Yangming said loudly, the aura of such a serious Yangming Jun suddenly overwhelmed everyone on the field. Most of the people were stunned, and even the executioner stopped what he was doing.
"Do you know that these words will bring you danger?" The prime minister didn't expect that this matter would have side effects, he stared at Mr. Yangming with eyes without the slightest smile, advising him not to set himself on fire for no reason.
"Where is the danger?" Yangming Jun asked innocently.
"The clan is actually with the witch... You said that you were with her. This is a dangerous statement that will make you suspected of treason." The Prime Minister replied with a deep meaning.
"Why do you have such ruthless thoughts? A man and a woman met in private on a moonlit night and conspired to rebel? Didn't you let down your youth?" His serious expression faded away, and Lord Yangming seemed to have returned to his usual routine. Casual style.
"Otherwise, as a clan, why are you in the Xingxiu Hall?" As for Lord Yangming who attempted to interfere in this way, since he had already decided to become an enemy, he had to make a corresponding commitment.
"The reason is obvious..."
Jun Yangming's words were interrupted by the witch, and the witch who was fainting from the pain suddenly said: "The villain invited him here. He... was the one who rescued the villain in danger. ...the savior. The life of a humble witch made the villain exhausted and painful. Although I wanted to escape, but there was no way out... So I invited him to come that day and asked him to take the villain to escape from this place. The villain never dreamed of it He is actually a clan member, if he had known this earlier, he would never have made the request. Therefore, this lord is not at fault."
"Okay, so far, her innocence has been proven, so please let her go immediately."
The prime minister still wanted to say something, but the internal officials who hurried over by the side reported the will of the king and concubine.The queen and the concubine actually ordered the execution to be stopped, and she was detained pending trial?The Prime Minister can only give up and walk away.The officials of the Yiban Mansion, who were watching their noses and noses and their hearts, could only face the anger of King Xuan and Lord Yangming, and made a decision to imprison him pending trial.
The Prime Minister was very puzzled by the sudden order of the King and Princess. Such a good opportunity can not only warn His Highness, make him lose his supporters, but also make this obtrusive witch disappear, and also hit Yangming at the same time. Jun—what a rare opportunity, but you want to give it up?The great king and concubine are indeed still a woman, indecisive.Thinking of his special "big event" in his heart, the prime minister decided to visit the great king and concubine.
"Why did you tell me to stop judging?"
"According to Zhang, the state shaman of the Xingxiu Hall, that shaman named Yue is powerless to harm people. Since Lord Yangming sacrificed himself, she has been proved innocent. She might as well be spared the crime of witchcraft."
"Even if she is exonerated from the crime of witchcraft, what about the crime of seducing the clan with witchcraft?"
"It's all right to drive her out of the city. In short, it's enough to drive her away from the Lord's side. Through this opportunity, the Lord's arrogance has been suppressed. We have achieved our goal. Not only that, but we have also mastered the future. The trump card that will be used in the future—the love affair between the prince and the witch, have you not thought of the precedent of dealing with Yi Chengjun? With this, the life and death power of Yang Mingjun, who threatens the safety of the lord, is also in our hands."
The Prime Minister smiled and nodded in agreement, but in fact he dismissed it in his heart.Is that all this woman knows?Sure enough, it's still - different ways don't conspire with each other.
