All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

When Yun Hongshan said these words, he was deeply moved.

After he finished speaking, he didn't forget to turn his head to look at Xie Zhangting.

Yun Hongshan originally thought that he could see Xie Zhangting moved to the point of tears.

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhangting just looked at him indifferently, and there was even a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Yun Hongshan was startled.

Liu Meiren at the side saw his appearance and guessed what he was thinking, but said bluntly: "Please accept your 'love saint' appearance, it really makes people feel unlucky."

"Back then you lied to her, disregarded her reputation and got her into a situation where everyone betrayed her. The only difference between you and that Xie Wenlang is that you didn't kill her yourself."

"Do you know what it's called? It's called 'The baby is dead, the milk is coming', see if you can."

"Even if you don't mention it, her nephew and niece-in-law will avenge her. Can you be used?"

Yun Hongshan was so cruelly stalked by Liu Meiren, his face was a little embarrassing.

Shen Lingxi manipulated his body, and after finishing those words, let the body lie down on the stretcher.

She withdrew the whisk, and Su Xian also made a gesture to withdraw the formation.

Wang Zhifu asked Xiao Yuanfeng to mark the confession in court, and after announcing that he would invite the emperor, he would choose a date to pronounce the sentence.

So far, Shen Lingxi and Su Xian, the two well-known Second Daoists of the Great Zhou Dynasty, have completed another "soul-returning technique" under the clear sky and under the watchful eyes of everyone.

It's just that this time is different from the last time. The last time it was famous all over the world, but this time it was discussed a lot.

It's all because of Shen Lingxi's identity as the princess.

Whether it's corpses or Kun Dao, for the nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, these are low-level professions.

It is conceivable that a dignified princess of a country would do such a thing in public, to the extent of shocking the world.

No matter in the court or among the people, the supporters and opponents accounted for half and half, and they quarreled with each other so that their faces were red.

The rumor that Empress You'an was murdered rather than "suicide" spread quickly along with the controversy over Shen Lingxi, the crown princess.

Almost overnight, it became a household name.

Not only that, Wuerda and his miraculous "Zhu Youshu", also under the deliberate arrangement of Chu Yan, were widely publicized by storytellers in the restaurant Wasi in the capital.

So, in the early morning of the second day, when the emperor asked Chu Yan his opinion on the dispute in the court in front of all civil and military officials——

Chu Yan replied lightly: "Now that I know that my concubine was harmed by evil methods, I feel that it is very necessary for the princess to continue to practice Taoism, at least she will not be victimized innocently."

"The emperor's grandmother taught me since I was a child that 'there is nothing important in this world except life and death'. I lost my mother when I was young, and my father when I was young. Now I finally got a wife. The life of my wife is more important than anything else."

"If the emperor and the ministers feel that it is inappropriate for the princess to do such a Taoist ritual...then why don't you just discuss and choose someone to be the prince, and I am willing to hand over the position of the prince. The wife is safe and sound in this life."

As soon as these words came out, the entire court fell silent.

Today, among the great Chu royal family, Chu Yan is the only adult and healthy prince.

Apart from him, only the Tenth Prince from Ningxiang Palace, who is not yet one year old, is left.

As we all know, the position of the crown prince of the East Palace also bears the curse of Emperor Yunguo Li before his death.

Whoever suffers dies.

None of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty had the guts to push out the Tenth Prince and send him to death.

Not to mention that Chu Yan is also in charge of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy and the Black Armored Guard.

Whether it is Wen Tao Wu Lue, or life and death.

As long as this country belongs to the Chu family.

Only Chu Yan can sit in the Eastern Palace.

Seeing that no one dared to speak anymore, the emperor suppressed his laughter and said earnestly, "It's not easy for the crown prince to marry a wife, so don't be too demanding on the crown princess."

After the emperor mentioned this, many people recalled the rumor that Chu Yan "restrained his wife" at the beginning, it was really a person who restrained people to death.

Only Chu Yan can be the crown prince, and only Shen Lingxi is destined to be his crown prince.

Then what else can they say.

As long as these two people... don't be too outrageous, for the successors of this great Chu country, they all have to endure.

A moment ago, the ministers who had quoted scriptures and accused the princess of being "improper" all had pale faces.

However, now that he knew Chu Yan's attitude, no one in the court dared to point fingers at the crown princess since then.

The emperor knew well that the death of Chu Yan's biological mother was a knot and obsession for Chu Yan.

Now that there are new clues, he immediately ordered Dali Temple to assist the Embroiderer to thoroughly investigate the case.

After Chu Yan received the emperor's order, he released the news that Wuerda had been arrested by the Beiya.

In just five days, Chu Yan arrested and interrogated more than a hundred people on the grounds of thoroughly investigating the murder of Empress You'an.

Among them, there are many people who went to Tongwuguan with the princess.

Whether it was intentional or a coincidence, Chu Yan did not send an embroidered envoy to Xie's house for a long time.

Until the fifth day, during the trial, Xie Wenlang, who had been repeatedly mentioned by Yun Hongshan and Xiao Yuanfeng, finally couldn't sit still.

He wrote to the emperor overnight, reporting on the Mu family of Duke Cheng'en's mansion, and participating in the murder of Empress You'an that year.

He also personally presented a letter written in blood by Madam Xie, who confessed her sins before she died.

This move caused a thousand waves of waves, and everyone in the ruling and opposition parties was shocked.

Everyone thought that the death of Empress You'an was related to the affair between King Yunjiang and Xie Zhangting.

Unexpectedly, even the Mu family also participated.

The Mu family is the current empress's mother family. When Empress You'an died ten years ago, Empress Mu had not even married the emperor.

Everyone speculated about the motive of the Mu family's involvement in the killing of Queen You'an.

Although no one dared to discuss it openly, they all questioned Empress Mu and the emperor from the bottom of their hearts.

Empress Mu is guilty of the crime, and on behalf of Duke Cheng'en's government, she admits that she colluded with Uerda and prompted the late emperor to attack Yunguo, but insists that the Mu family did not participate in the murder of Empress You'an.

Emperor Longyan was furious, and ordered the embroidered envoy to stop all cases and try his best to investigate the case.

Not only to return the queen's innocence, but also to return his own innocence.

In just a few days, the reputation of the two great families of Dazhou, the Xie family, was completely ruined, and the Mu family was in jeopardy.

Above the court hall, the wind and cranes became more and more jittery, and the grass and trees were full of soldiers.

Beiya, the commander's study.

Shen Lingxi, disguised as an embroidered envoy, took from Chu Yan the blood letter that Xie Wenlang presented to the emperor, and enshrined the blood letter to Mrs. Xie for careful identification.

"It was indeed the one I wrote before I died."

Mrs. Xie said with a complex expression: "I never thought that Wuerda would hand over this blood book to Xie Wenlang after taking away the blood book that night."

"It's a good way to bring disaster to the east." Shen Lingxi snorted, and returned the blood letter to Chu Yan, "Knowing that the embroiderer wanted to investigate him, I released this letter to divert attention. Now the streets and alleys of the capital are all Talk about the collusion between the Mu family and Uerda, and no one mentions Xie Zhangting's death."

Once involved in court disputes, a woman who had no husband's family and died at the hands of her natal family became insignificant.

The Xie family's crisis will bring out the Mu family to take the blame.

Xie Wenlang is really good at calculating.

She looked at Chu Yan: "These days, Your Highness is at Wuerda, did you find out anything?"

"He has very hard bones, he wants to die, and he refuses to say anything." Chu Yan said in a deep voice.

"Let me come." Shen Lingxi looked at him and said, "I'll meet him..."
