After rebirth, she was forced into marriage by the sickly prince

Another seven days.

The Empress Dowager will go to the White Horse Temple to eat fast and pay homage to the Buddha for three days, hoping that the gods will protect the people.

Everyone in the palace will accompany them to serve, including the emperor and empress, as well as a group of concubines, and also many courtiers, Chinese and military officials...

It's a big event.

Every year on this day, the Empress Dowager will hold such a big event.

Mu Yunjiang also received the imperial decree to enter the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager, so she had to come dressed up.

*
White Horse Temple is a famous temple outside Tiandu City. Mu Yunjiang had been there before, when she and Xiao Qiyu were in love.

Now revisiting the old place, although the spring is strong, she is full of depression.

But she had to come.

This trip to the White Horse Temple may reveal a shocking scandal, thus forcing the mysterious person behind the scenes into the sun.At that time, it will be clear at a glance who that person is...

"Yo, who is this? Princess Jingbei? Oh, no, no, Xiao Qiyu's life is at risk, and the title of King Jingbei has been abolished. You and him have reconciled. Now it can only be called Ningguo County." Lord..."

Concubine Shu came to meet her face, with a wicked smile.Brocade clothes can't hide her ugly face.The domineering appearance is really disgusting.

Before, she was grounded, and accompanied by Bai Hu, was released from the dungeon, and the emperor ordered her to be released.

Even Concubine De was released.

At this moment, Concubine Shu was walking side by side with Concubine De. When she saw Mu Yunjiang, Concubine De also called out: "Master Ningguo County, don't come here without any problems..."

Mu Yunjiang ignored the sarcasm in Concubine Shu's words, and performed a big gift in a proper manner: "Yunjiang pays respects to the three or two ladies..."

Concubine Liang was also there, she walked forward with a smile, and said, "Master Ningguo County, do you know that the emperor called you to accompany him today, why did you come?"

Not seeing her for so many days, Concubine Liang noticed that Mu Yunjiang's complexion was very bad, her eyes were dim, and she looked very mature, not as lively as before.

Mu Yunjiang replied quietly: "I don't know."

Concubine Liang smiled gently: "It is to match you with a good husband. Come, come, come with me to see the emperor. At this moment, the emperor should be playing chess with the empress dowager..."

Concubine Liang held her arm, as if deliberately trying to get close to her.

Concubine Shu and Concubine De curled their lips secretly, without him, the scenery in the palace all came from the emperor's favor - in recent days, Concubine Liang has won the most flops from the emperor.All kinds of rewards have never been cut off.

They don't compete with concubines who are being favored.

Mu Yunjiang frowned secretly, didn't say anything, just followed silently.

Only a few steps away, a monk suddenly rushed out of the spring-filled garden, grabbed a servant and shouted angrily:
"Well, you eunuch, I was finally bumped into by the little monk today. Give my brother's life back..."

The man was holding a short blade in his hand, angrily trying to assassinate the servant.

His move immediately caused a commotion.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Mu Yunjiang rushed to the front, snatched the short blade, and pinned him down to the ground deftly, screaming:
"Monk, monks are compassionate, why do you want people's lives as soon as you come up?"

The monk was about 16 years old, and he was quite upright, but his face was full of resentment, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "[-] years ago, this servant buried my brother alive. Fortunately, I met him and saved my brother." But my brother was fed something by them and has been paralyzed in bed ever since."

Whether this accusation is true or false is difficult for others to judge.

Mu Yunjiang looked at the servant and asked, "Who are you? Have you ever done such a wicked thing?"

The servant said angrily: "Nonsense, I... I don't know him at all..."

"Come on, pull this bloody monk out of the clouds and chop it up..." Concubine Shu lowered her pretty face, and suddenly gave an order: "Anyone who dares to slander my palace. Court death..."

Seeing that a servant came over to arrest someone immediately, Mu Yunjiang stopped him and shouted: "Come on, this matter has not been investigated clearly, Concubine Shu, how can you kill someone just because you say you want to kill someone? Even if you are valuable , and can't be so careless about human life...

"The emperor once established the law. The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. The same is true for the concubine. If you kill without asking, that is to treat the law as nothing. Are you trying to test the law by yourself?"

In front of all the concubines, her refutation silenced everyone: It's about the law, how can people in the harem dare to say more?

Concubine Shu saw that she was extremely displeased, and immediately scolded: "Shut up, Mu Yunjiang, there is no place for you to talk back here... do you want to be punished for the next crime?"

She turned around and wanted to punish Mu Yunjiang.

"I think what Princess Ningguo said is very true. Since someone complained, they should investigate the matter..."

Liang Emperor Xiao Li, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, came up and actually supported Mu Yunjiang.

Everyone immediately knelt down to pay their respects, shouting long live.

Concubine Shu's face showed a look of horror.

The emperor doesn't like anyone to be above the law, she just said something wrong - it's hard to get back on this matter!

"Get up..."

Emperor Liang looked at Mu Yunjiang with a look of trust on his face, and said: "I know you are very good at investigating cases, come on, let's investigate, whether this monk has really been wronged, or is it deliberately framed?" The servants in the palace..."

"Yes."

Mu Yunjiang turned to look at the monk and asked, "Great monk, what's your name? Why do you feel wronged? Now that the emperor is here, you can tell me in detail..."

The monk kowtowed and began to describe himself: "The common name of the young monk is Zhang Wu, and his elder brother is Zhang Wen. There was a famine in his hometown when he was young, and he came to the capital with his mother to seek refuge with his relatives. As a result, my mother died of illness on the way. We brothers don't know the situation of our relatives, so we can only live in Beggars in the city.

"Later, he was accepted as a disciple by the abbot of the temple. Sixteen years ago, my brother was 16 years old. One day, a nobleman came to the mountain to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha. He was ordered to serve him.

"In the middle of the night, I came to look for him, only to see this servant with two guards, dragged my brother to the back mountain, and buried him. A young monk was buried at the same time.

"After they left, I opened the burial site and found that my brother was still alive. The other one was dead. Then, I carried my brother down the mountain. But my brother was poisoned, not only poisoned Dumb and paralyzed...

"That night was a full moon night. I remember it very clearly. He was the one who killed my brother...Now, my brother is dying, and I must ask him to give my brother an explanation..."

The servant was sweating profusely when he heard it: "Nonsense, there is absolutely no... Your Majesty, this is a frame-up, a blatant frame-up..."

The emperor cast a cold sideways glance, looked up and down, and recognized him: "You are Eunuch Yang next to Concubine Shu."

"It's small."

"Don't worry, county magistrate Ningguo, you can judge cases like a god. You will never wrong any good person. Naturally, you will not let any bad person go. Mu Yunjiang, I will leave this case to you."

Emperor Liang raised his hand and gave an order.Xiao Li's temperament has always been jealous, and he likes to get to the bottom of this kind of case.

"Yes, Yun Jiang agreed, Your Majesty, are you wronged? We can go and find out if there are any buried corpses in the back mountain..."

As soon as the words fell, Concubine Shu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly yelled: "Master Ningguo, I think that even if a corpse is found in the back mountain, it may not prove that it was Eunuch Yang who killed it... Maybe it was this person Killed 16 years ago... It's unknown if I deliberately planted it on others..."

This statement seems to be reasonable.

Mu Yunjiang glanced lightly: "Whether it was framed or not, you can prove your integrity by using a pestle, and Li Heng, the magistrate of Tiandu Mansion, has the most authoritative opinion on the case. Your Majesty, in order to show fairness, please call Li Heng over." Join the inspection together..."

"Sure. Gao Huan, find Li Qing..."

"Yes."

Gao Huan immediately sent someone to look for it.

"In order to prevent someone from destroying the burial site, Your Majesty, please send another person to surround the site... No one is allowed to set foot casually, destroying the site and making it more difficult for the investigators to find out the truth..." Mu Yunjiang made another request.

"That's right."

Emperor Liang glanced at Gao Huan again.

Gao Huan sent people to protect the scene again.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Heng came, and after learning what the emperor asked him to do, he bowed to the calm woman in front of him: "To show justice, I and the county magistrate each wrote a volume of investigation papers. Look at the end, what we checked How much of the result is right..."

Mu Yunjiang nodded and agreed, "That's very good."

So the group went to the back mountain first, and then the two checked the landform environment to be excavated, and wrote down the survey results of the environment.

Li Heng wrote: "The vegetation is luxuriant, and there is no trace of renovation soil everywhere. In the past ten years, no one has excavated here."

Mu Yunjiang wrote: "The vegetation has never been moved. The smallest tree is more than ten years old. The soil has never been moved here."

Immediately afterwards, they asked people to dig at the designated location, and when they dug to a depth of four meters, they found the corpse.

The top of the bone was covered by the root system of a tree. It is said that he died before the tree grew, and the tree was more than 10 years old.

After some in-depth and meticulous investigation, the result was finally reached.

Li Heng's summary is similar to Mu Yunjiang's: "The skeleton is a male who was poisoned. It can be seen from the unrotten clothes that he was stabbed before death. He also wore Buddhist beads around his neck and wore a In his monk's robe. In his hand is a small black iron token. It is the token that the servants must hold when entering and leaving the palace."

The name of the master is still on this token: Yang Ye.

When Mu Yunjiang held the token and showed it to Eunuch Yang, his expression changed involuntarily, and he shouted instinctively:

"This is framed. Definitely framed. I have lost this token for many years..."

Li Heng is the most stern and unselfish: "The official's conclusion is absolutely correct. This corpse has never been touched since its death. Therefore, what he has is solid evidence. When he died, you were at the scene ...Your Majesty, this person must be the biggest suspect..."

Mu Yunjiang followed Fu Lifu: "Your Majesty, Yun Jiang also came to the same conclusion. If Eunuch Yang refuses to admit it, we can bring Zhang Wen over and let him have a look. Did this kill him back then?"

Liang Emperor Xiao Qi agreed, and then a guard went down the mountain to invite the seriously ill Zhang Wen up the mountain.

Zhang Wen was so ill that he was about to die. To be precise, he was poisoned, and his life would be lost.For so many years, the residual poison in him has been killing him.

Mu Yunjiang took a medicine for her, and said to Zhang Wen in front of everyone: "I gave you a medicine, and you will be able to detoxify soon. Now, please treat me with so many people." Among them, point out the person who harmed you back then..."

Zhang Wen was pleasantly surprised when he heard that someone could detoxify him, his eyes shone brightly.

After she finished speaking, his eyes flicked over everyone at the scene one by one, and finally caught his eye on Yang Ye among the crowd, and then shouted in horror: "Ah, he... just... Yes...he is...the murderer is him..."

After a few ahs, he excitedly spit out a few monosyllables, and finally bit out a complete sentence. He was suddenly ecstatic: "I... I can speak..."

"Of course, the food I give you will naturally detoxify your body. Now, can you tell us what happened that year? The emperor is right in front of you. You can't have half a word of lies, understand." Yet?"

Zhang Wen's eyes moved secretly, and he saw the emperor nearby, and immediately shouted excitedly: "Return to the emperor's words: the reason why the grassroots... were silenced... was because the grassroots... broke through the adultery... It was she... who was appointed by Concubine Shu...to bury me alive."

Looking around, he saw the little concubine back then, now, dressed in brocade clothes, served by internal servants and maidservants, with an indescribably noble demeanor.But he has already put his heart out, even if he is going all out, he will expose that old incident.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Bengong and you, a little monk, have no grudges or grudges, how could I deal with you..."

Concubine Shu was furious, then knelt down on the ground, and cried out mournfully: "Your Majesty, this concubine was wronged, and this concubine has never done such a wicked thing. I am willing to swear a poisonous oath to the gods in the sky... ...If you do it, there will be five thunders from the sky, and there will be no place to die..."

Mu Yunjiang answered coldly: "If the oath is useful, then the imperial court does not need to set up the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple..."

Hearing this, Concubine Shu couldn't help turning her head and glaring: "Master Ningguo County, what do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. Yun Jiang thought, let's listen to what Zhang Wen has to say later..." She ignored her and only looked at Emperor Liang respectfully.

"Zhang Wen, do you have anything else to add?" Emperor Liang asked majestically.

Zhang Wen thought for a while, and added: "Returning to the emperor, Cao Min remembers that that night, this lady was accompanied by a general, and the lady called him 'uncle'. To be more precise, it should be that general who killed me Junior brother, because my junior brother knows a little bit of kung fu, I wanted to escape, but was pierced through the chest..."

Concubine Shu's uncle is none other than Bai Hu.

Seeing Bai Hu being dragged out, Mu Yunjiang secretly curled the corners of her lips:

Very well, the dog-eat-dog show is about to begin...
