Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 524 Returning Zhou Lihuai's Innocence
Everyone looked at the maidservant and saw her knelt on the ground shrunken, thin and small. It was really unimaginable that she poisoned one person and forced another to hang herself.

He'er lay on the ground for a long time, and everyone in the hall was a little anxious.

"He'er, if it wasn't for you, you should explain clearly that the Princess is here, and they won't let them wrong you!" Murong Lingyi frowned.

He'er let out a long breath, then raised his head, straightened his back, his expression changed from cowardly and panicked to now cold and chilling.

"It was me. I poisoned Mrs. Marquis Wuchang. Just as Your Highness guessed, I poured medicine into the wine of the princess in order to leave enough time for the crime. When I came out of Feifeng Palace, I caught Chen Xuan stealing something, so I followed suit and forced her to help me replace the poison pills in Zhou Tai’s medicine chest. I didn’t want to kill her, so I gave her 100 taels of silver to tell her to shut up. But then His Highness began to investigate the case, denying that Zhou Tai doctor was the murderer, and turned to When I started looking for Chen Xuan, I knew she must die. I advised the princess to kill Aunt Zhou in Ziyun Nunnery in order to get close to Chen Xuan, but instead of meeting her again, she threatened me and asked me for money , I gave her another 100 taels, this time buying her life."

He'er spoke in a calm and calm manner, with a hint of ruthlessness. She was by no means an ordinary little maid.

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, "Why did you poison the Marquis of Wuchang?"

"I am the princess."

"You for me?" Murong Lingyi's eyes widened, "I didn't ask you to kill her!"

"Mrs. Hou makes things difficult for the princess, and she still wants to marry the young master's concubine and take concubines. As the maid of the princess, I really can't stand it. That's why I did this."

"You!" Murong Lingyi gritted his teeth, "You are confused!"

"Yes, this servant is confused, and this servant pleads guilty." He'er prostrated herself on the ground.

Sitting next to him, Marquis Wuchang, who had been silent all this time, let out a long sigh at this moment, "It's unfortunate for our family."

As he spoke, he stood up and saluted Yan Mu, "Your Highness the Seventh Highness, thank you for running around for the case of Jiannei these days."

After saying this, the Marquis of Wuchang stepped out and walked in front of the eldest princess. He stopped, paused, and gave another big gift.

"Master Hou, you..."

"Elder princess, it is the old man who is begging you, please allow Chang Feng and the princess to reconcile, and return our Xue family to a clean one."

The eldest princess frowned, and took a deep breath, "If the two of them agree, I won't stop it."

"Princess, do you want me to beg you too?" Marquis Wuchang looked at Murong Lingyi.

Murong Lingyi blushed, stomped her feet and said, "My princess does not agree to reconciliation!"

"you!"

"The chief of this county is Hugh!"

"Murong Lingyi, don't go too far!" Xue Changfeng yelled, "It's your fault that your maid poisoned my mother for you. I'm giving you the face of the eldest princess's house by not letting you down!"

"I am the princess, if you want to divorce, you can divorce, you have to bear with it!" Murong Lingyi raised his chin and said.

"you……"

"That's good, after all, the big guys can't just laugh at my Houfu." Wuchanghou glanced at the eldest princess, then flicked his sleeves and walked outside.

The eldest princess supported her forehead, seeing that Murong Lingyi was still making trouble, she yelled at her, "It's not too embarrassing, go back home with me!"

The murderer had already pleaded guilty, but Yan Mu did not pronounce the sentence in court, but released Zhou Lihuai.

When Xue Changfeng left, he glared at Yan Mu first, and then thanked him.

Yan Mu looked at his awkward look, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xue, we will definitely not get drunk or return someday."

Xue Changfeng snorted, "I'm afraid you'll sell me out."

"It's not worth a lot of money."

"I'll drink with you again, I'm just a mallet!" After finishing speaking, he also walked away angrily.

At this time, the nun of Ziyun Nunnery took out a bank note from her pocket and handed it to Yan Mu. Yan Mu opened it, and there was a denomination of 100 taels on it.

"Is this Chen Xuan's?"

The nun nodded, "Earlier this morning, an old woman who often begs at the mountain gate gave it to me. She said that it was given to her by the benefactor Chen, but the denomination was too large, and she dared not spend it. She was even more frightened when she heard that the benefactor Chen had hanged herself." It was not easy, so I hesitated for two days and gave me the bank note."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she hurriedly shouted: "Give me the bank note quickly, Chen Xuan is my daughter, and what she has is mine!"

Liu Yunxiang snorted coldly: "Don't you understand? Chen Xuan would rather give this banknote to someone she doesn't know than to you, because she is already disappointed in you."

She asked He'er for 100 taels of money for her life, and she must have wanted to give it to her mother, but maybe she bumped into her gambling brother, or saw her mother's indifference to her, which made her recognize the true colors of the two relatives.

Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know how to reflect, but cursed: "This little hoof, I raised her so big, she became a white-eyed wolf. Didn't she ask her for money a few times, and when she saw me, she met my friend." It seems that she really deserves her short life, and God will accept her. In short, the money must be given to me, otherwise I will make trouble in front of your government!"

Yan Mu scoffed coldly, "You still want to make trouble in front of the government, can you get out of the government?"

"What do you mean? I didn't break the law!"

"Chen Xuan stealing things from the palace to sell is a serious crime of beheading. Although she is dead, but you still force her to take money when you know that she steals things from the palace and sell them to you. You are instigating her to steal money." Things in the palace should be treated as accomplices, although it is not a death penalty, but you will spend the rest of your life in prison!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen fell limp to the ground.

And when the official sent her into the prison, she still shouted unwillingly: "I beg the official to give the 100 taels to my son, and the people from the gambling shop can't cut off his hand!"

Liu Yunxiang frowned, how can there be such a mother in the world, it is really disgusting!

Zhou Lihuai was released in court, and when the officer released his handcuffs, he couldn't hold back and sobbed.

"I thought... I thought I couldn't survive... so many days and nights... I looked at the small window... Desperate... I thought I would never see the blue sky and white clouds..."

Yan Mu walked down the hall, walked up to Zhou Lihuai, and gave him a disgusted look, "It's not embarrassing for a big man to cry like this."

"Old Seven!" Zhou Lihuai hugged Yan Mu's leg.

Yan Mu hurriedly dodged, but didn't dodge, so he kicked him, "How long has it been since you fucking took a shower, it stinks!"

"Lao Qi, you will be my reborn parents from now on. I will remember your great kindness and virtue for the rest of my life!"

"No, no need."

"Lao Qi, with a brother like you, I, Zhou Lihuai, will be blessed by the cultivation of the third life and the third generation!"

"Are you still rubbing your tears on me?"

"From now on, my person is yours, and my heart is also yours. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I will do it for the rest of my life..."

"To shut up!"

Zhou Lihuai's wife, Mrs. Pan, ran in from outside the hall, and she was wiping away tears excitedly, but when she saw this scene, her tears froze instantly.After a while, he covered his face with his hands, probably feeling ashamed, and took two steps back.

Liu Yunxiang said with a dry smile, "The relationship between their brothers is really good."

Pan's also laughed twice, "My husband is not like this usually."

"is it?"

"Uh, I only cry when I'm drunk."

"Oh, I've seen it."

"what?"

Zhou Lihuai was terrified every day in the prison, he couldn't eat well, and he couldn't sleep well. Now he cried a lot, exhausted all his remaining physical strength, and passed out.

Pan's: "..."

After sending Zhou Lihuai to the carriage, Liu Yunxiang and Yan Mu headed home.

"When did you suspect Murong Lingyi's maid?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"Grandma Chen is making trouble outside the eldest princess's mansion, and Murong Lingyi is not guilty, so I was thinking, who else could it be if it wasn't her."

"It is true that we have been ignoring the little maid beside her."

"but……"

"what?"

"This little maid served Murong Lingyi after she followed Xue Changfeng to Weizhou. The time was not long, so that Xue Changfeng didn't remember her. In such a short period of time, how much loyalty can she have to Murong Lingyi? She poisoned Mrs. Marquis of Wuchang for her sake? And if she really did it for Murong Lingyi, didn't she think that once the matter was exposed, it would be the result of Xue Changfeng and Murong Lingyi falling apart? And this He'er, martial arts, courage , scheming, everything is amazing, is she really just a little maid?"
