Noble First Daughter-in-law

In an instant, the entire Dayan Temple fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were focused on that indigo figure. Although everyone's eyes were burning, and when they gathered together, they were almost on fire, but the eyes that greeted them were cold and calm, without even a trace of emotion Undulatingly watching Ji Hong step by step, he walked in front of her heavily.

Shang Ruyi raised her hand, bowed respectfully to the old man in front of her and said, "My lord Ji."

Ji Hong's cloudy eyes stared at her, not only with hatred, but also with a kind of unconcealable pain in his eyes. He sneered and said, "It's good for you, but the old man came today to question you."

"..."

"Your Majesty, how did you die!?"

"..."

"is that you--"

"Ji Gong!"

Before Ji Hong finished speaking, a heavy voice suddenly interrupted him. Ji Hong's eyes turned cold, and he raised his head. Unexpectedly, he saw Sheng Guo Gong Yu Wenyuan walking towards him with a frown. He said: "How can Ruyi afford what Ji Gong said? Today's ceremony is for the late emperor, and Ji Gong should ask the reason after the ceremony is over."

Ji Hong sneered and said: "Sheng Guogong's words made this old man puzzled. The cause of His Majesty's death is unknown, so why did you hold a ceremony to save him? Don't you want the world to know, Your Majesty Bintian, what is the reason?"

"..."

"Is it the end of life, or—"

Having said that, Ji Hong turned his head to look at Shang Ruyi, whose face was already a little pale, and said word by word: "Someone, kill the king!"

A gust of bitter wind blew past, causing the surrounding prayer flags to flutter and fly, and the closed gate of the Daxiong Palace was blown by the wind and hit the threshold, making several muffled bangs, which shook people's minds.

Yu Wenyuan's heart also sank.

Although he loves his family, he is also very sober. Last night, he made his words very clear.

This matter is of great importance, and it cannot be solved by one person speaking, or not speaking, even if it is paired with Yuwen's family, it may not be able to solve it!
Just when he was hesitating, Ji Hong said coldly again: "Duke is coming here now, is he going to answer this question on behalf of your daughter-in-law?"

"..."

"Did she already tell you what happened to His Majesty before he died?"

This time, the eyes of the people around were even more intense, and they all stared at the two people directly in front of the square. Some people in the crowd had already started to echo——

"If the Duke knows, you might as well give us the truth."

"Yes, how did His Majesty die?"

"If someone really kills the king, then we must not forgive him lightly. We must tear this person into pieces and kill her nine clans!"

Yu Wenyuan was suddenly pushed to the forefront.

Even so, he has experienced storms for a long time, even though he was accused by everyone and forced to question him, he still did not change his expression, but the guards around the Daxiong Palace, seeing Sheng Guogong being surrounded, his long follower Xue Daotong immediately winked at everyone, Those people put their hands on the hilts at their waists, ready to rush forward.

At this moment, a white hand raised slightly, stopping everyone from moving.

It also suppressed everyone's questioning, angry voices.

It is business wish.

She was still standing where she was, with a pale but calm expression. She raised her hand at this moment, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. She said slowly, "Everyone, I know that Wang Shaoji and Wang Shaoqiu brothers have sent His Majesty to heaven." You should have heard the news that the news spread all over the world, but you probably don't believe it, so you are asking the Duke at this time."

"..."

"However, the Duke actually doesn't know anything. I haven't told anyone the truth along the way, so the person you want to question is wrong."

"..."

"You should find me!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at her in surprise.

Yu Wenyuan also frowned slightly, and looked down at his daughter-in-law, who looked extremely weak, but provoked everyone's censure by herself at this moment. Although he knew in his heart that he should not say anything, he still couldn't help but take a step forward .

But just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by a hand that came across.

It was Yu Wenye!
I saw that he had walked to his side at some point, his face was stern, and he looked at Shang Ruyi even more sternly, and then said in a low voice: "Father, don't meddle in this matter anymore."

"..."

Yu Wenyuan frowned and looked at him.

Last night, my second son kept saying that I would leave this matter to him, and he would come.but now--

At this time, they were not allowed to do more, or even think too much. Shang Ruyi raised her head and looked around. Gathering up, they surrounded themselves so tight that even the wind couldn't blow in.

Everyone's gazes and breaths gathered together, and the heat was so hot that it was about to ignite her.

But at the very center, she is cold.

YouQi felt that when Yu Wenye walked away, her heart seemed to have fallen into an abyss, but the icy cold feeling made her calm down even more at this moment.

However, she didn't even turn her head to look at him.

She met Ji Hong's eyes full of resentment, and said calmly: "Master Ji came here this time to ask His Majesty how he died?"

Ji Hong sneered, then glanced at Yu Wenyuan and Yu Wenye at the side, and said, "Actually, I still have a lot to ask, but since the Duke is protecting you, you can answer the most important question." That's all. How did His Majesty die!"

Shang Ruyi smiled lightly and said, "Lord Ji, don't hold back."

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback, and even Yu Wenyuan frowned, but Shang Ruyi smiled calmly and said, "Whatever Mr. Ji wants to ask, you can ask it clearly from the beginning to the end, so as not to have doubts again after today. .Besides, if you ask all kinds of questions, you can understand the cause and effect better, and you will understand the whole thing better, won’t you?”

"..."

Ji Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, as if looking at the young lady of the Duke's Mansion in surprise.

Over the years, he has stayed away from the imperial court, and even farther away from imperial court battles. Even if his own son died in Jiangdu, he only thought it was a remonstrance from civil servants, and it was only after death; He wanted to follow the late emperor, but today, he was suddenly told by some people in the court that the rumored regicide Shang Ruyi had returned to Daxing City, so he rushed over immediately under the protection of everyone, and asked for clarification.

Unexpectedly, this king slayer was so upright.

Even upright and a little arrogant.

Is she confident in the end, or—knowing that she has committed a heinous crime and will surely die, so she doesn't care?
But no matter what, to find out the truth is the purpose of his coming here today.

Therefore, Ji Hong sneered and said, "Okay, then I'll ask, and you answer!"

Shang Ruyi said, "Excuse me."

Ji Hongdao: "The first question, I heard that when His Majesty led all the officials south to Jiangdu Palace, the Young Madam was originally on the roster, but why didn't she accompany her?"

Shang Ruyi said: "I believe that going south to Jiangdu Palace at that time was not good for the country and not good for the court, so I didn't go with me."

Some people around have already sneered.

Some people said: "If it is not good for the country and the court, can you resist the order and disrespect?"

"She doesn't see His Majesty at all, so it's no wonder she dares to kill the king!"

"It must be her—"

Just when everyone was accusing, Shang Ruyi suddenly turned his head and gave those people a cold look.

She was just a woman, not enough to suppress the officials around her, but seeing her cold eyes, those people felt a chill rising from their hearts, and subconsciously closed their mouths.

And when those people shut up and left a blank space, Shang Ruyi said: "Then do you think that Mr. Ji will also kill the king?"

Hearing this, everyone turned pale with shock.

Even Ji Hong frowned, showing an angry look: "What did you say?!"

Shang Ruyi turned to face him, and said calmly: "Back then, when the first emperor moved eastward to Luoyang, Mr. Ji once knelt outside the gate of Daxing Palace to prevent His Majesty from moving eastward. Is there such a thing?"

"..."

"At that time, Master Ji seemed to have said in his dissuasion to the late emperor that His Majesty's construction of the Eastern Capital was a waste of money for the people, and it was not good for the country and bad for the court."

"..."

"Ruyi just doesn't want to follow, but Mr. Ji, you personally stopped His Majesty from moving east."

"..."

"If I say that my actions can remind everyone of killing the king, then Lord Ji's actions will not only kill the king, but also fight against the entire court and the world!"

When Ji Hong heard this, his throat stiffened and he was unable to speak.

Even he couldn't speak, and the people around him were even more speechless.

No one expected that they invited Ji Hong, who was so respected that even the powerful Yu Wenyuan could not force him, but Shang Ruyi used what Ji Hong himself had done to explain what she did.

It was like putting a gold medal of immunity on her.

As long as Ji Hong can stand here alive today and question her, then Shang Ruyi is innocent!
Good trick!
At this moment, even Yu Wenyuan's eyes lit up.

Of course he knew that his old friend's daughter was extremely intelligent, and he had seen his own daughter-in-law's intelligence a long time ago, but what he didn't expect was that she could be so calm in the face of questioning by important officials in the court and the siege of so many people. The Jedi strike back.

Now, even the eloquent Ji Hong was rendered speechless by her words.

Yu Wenyuan couldn't help but nodded slightly.

On the other hand, Yu Wenye, who was standing beside him, still had a dignified expression, and was not half happy because Shang Ruyi got this chance to breathe.

At this time, there was a burst of applause in the crowd, and a voice sneered: "Be eloquent, be eloquent."

Everyone hurriedly turned their heads away, Shang Ruyi also frowned slightly, looked up, and saw a middle-aged man walking out from the crowd, it was Zhou Ying, the general counselor who had just stood behind Yu Dingxing, and he walked to the door step by step. In front of Shang Ruyi, she lowered her head and smiled and said, "Mrs. Yuwen's quick thinking is amazing."

Shang Ruyi said, "It's not about quick wit, it's just telling the truth."

Zhou Ying said: "Then, please tell me again, young lady, since you think that going south to Jiangdu is not good for the country and not good for the court, then why did you go to Jiangdu again? It is even rumored from the Jiangdu Palace that you get along with His Majesty day and night, drinking and having fun. What about the rumors?!"
