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

Chapter 254 Jurisprudence and Reason

"You said you didn't participate, you didn't do it, but which one didn't benefit you?"

Shen Lingxi looked at him, and mockingly said: "If I die, your Yunjiang king's seat will be more stable. The holy mountain is destroyed, and in the eyes of the people of Yunjiang, there is nothing that can surpass the imperial power of Dazhou, and your King Quan. You just didn't do it yourself."

Yun Hongshan's face became even more embarrassing, "You are quite different from before. When you were young, you never thought about these things, nor did you think about them..."

"It's just a lesson in exchange for life." Shen Lingxi snorted, "Just like you, you won't know until you die. There are groups of wives and concubines, and a house full of children and grandchildren is all a vain scene."

Yun Hongshan's heart ached from her words.

"Anyway, I've said everything I need to say." He closed his eyes and stretched his neck, "Although I didn't do it, as you said, I am indeed the beneficiary. If you want to vent your anger, you have to kill me. Just come."

Shen Lingxi looked at him coolly, "You should be lucky, you didn't do anything."

She knew that here at Yunhong Mountain, she couldn't ask any more useful questions, so she warned him not to mention her identity to other dead souls, and turned to leave.

"Wait." Yun Hongshan called her: "If you see Yun Wang, can you tell him something for me?"

Shen Lingxi stopped and raised her eyebrows inquiringly.

Yun Hongshan tightened his hands: "Back then I shouldn't have listened to Xiao Yuanfeng's words and done those things to him. Among so many children, I am most ashamed of him. Now that he sits on the seat of King Yunjiang, I hope he can... …forgive me."

"What did you do to him?" Shen Lingxi asked in a deep voice.

She has not forgotten the situation he was in when she first met Yun Huang in this life.

Yun Hongshan said embarrassingly: "Not long after you died, Xiao Yuanfeng found out that Yun Huang's mother had had an affair with someone when she was alive, and said that he was not my own. In a fit of anger, I put him in the dungeon and let him Others tortured him every day."

"If Da Zhou didn't need protons, he might die in the dungeon."

Shen Lingxi's breathing was slightly stagnant, and she clenched her fists silently.

Her gaze was fixed on Yun Hongshan.

Yun Hongshan folded his hands and clenched them tightly in front of his body, his head was lowered, with a look of remorse and annoyance on his face.

He looked very sincerely repentant.

Shen Lingxi suppressed the anger in her heart, remained silent for a while, and then suddenly laughed.

"You asked me to tell the story for you, it's not that you really feel guilty, right?" She said lightly, "You're just thinking that the son Xiao Yuanfeng must kill may be the same as the one in Xie Zhangting's stomach, maybe it's your kind , otherwise, Xiao Yuanfeng wouldn't have spent so much time dealing with him, would he?"

"No..." Yun Hongshan blushed instantly, whether it was from shame or anger, "You know that's not what I meant..."

"What do you mean, I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Shen Lingxi said with a half-smile, "If I don't take these words with me, Yun Wang won't even want to hear them. Regardless of whether you are his biological father or not, what you did to him will never be forgiven by him."

The blood on Yun Hongshan's face faded instantly.

He knew that Shen Lingxi was close to Yun Huang when he urinated, and since she said this, it must be what Yun Huang meant.

Seeing that Shen Lingxi turned around to leave, he moved his lips, and wanted to save a few more words——

"Oh, that's right." Shen Lingxi stopped suddenly, turned his head to him and said, "Don't get me wrong, Yun Huan was able to sit on the seat of King Yunjiang only because he endured humiliation for five years in the Great Zhou Dynasty and won the title of Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty." Your trust has nothing to do with you."

"Also, Meiren Liu is right. You are no different from Xie Wenlang. People like you should enter the realm of animals after death, because you are not worthy of being human at all."

After saying this, Shen Lingxi strode away, leaving only the faint shadow of Yun Hongshan behind, staying where she was with a face full of shame...

Coming down from the rockery, Shen Lingxi saw Chu Yan standing with his hands behind his back, waiting at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing Shen Lingxi approaching, he stretched out his hand towards her very naturally, "What did Yun Hongshan tell you?"

Shen Lingxi's gaze swept over his slender joints, she clenched her sleeves tightly, but did not reach out to him.

"How does Your Highness know that I am talking to Yun Hongshan?" She asked with a faint smile.

It's just that the smile didn't reach his eyes.

She believes that he has a good character and strict laws, and he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

But in the final analysis, Da Zhou and Yun Kingdom were enemies after all.

The sacred mountain and the remnants of the Medicine Palace are the symbols of the theocracy and witchcraft in the Yun Kingdom.

As the supreme commander guarding Yunjiang, Chu Yan ordered the destruction of the holy mountain and the extermination of the remnants of the Medicine Palace in order to consolidate the imperial power of the Great Zhou in Yunjiang, which is understandable.

It's just that it makes sense legally.

But emotionally, she couldn't get over this hurdle.

So at this moment, when she saw Chu Yan, she couldn't help but think of the scene of the tragic death of everyone in Yao Palace.

Chu Yan was keenly aware of the alienation in her eyes, and her phoenix eyes were slightly deep.

He put his hands behind his back again, lightly crushing the joints with his fingertips.

"My aunt's ceremony, Yun Hongshan will definitely choose a place with a good view to see her off." He asked tentatively, "What did he tell you?"

Shen Lingxi nodded.

It was related to the death of the first prince, so she told the truth.

"He said that the idea of ​​bewitching Emperor Li to use the little princess of Yun Kingdom as a human sacrifice to curse the Chu family's extinction was the former emperor's oral order brought by Duke Zhen..."

"This is absolutely impossible." Chu Yan said decisively: "How could the emperor's grandfather let people spread such oral instructions, it is simply absurd."

"What about Duke Zhen?" Shen Lingxi asked.

Chu Yan pondered for a while, "It's not like what the Zhen Guo Guild did..."

"Yun Hongshan's soul will soon be gone." Shen Lingxi reminded: "With his current situation, there is no one he cares about in this world. There is no need to lie about this kind of thing."

"I originally thought that the death of the little princess, as Yun Chong said, was deliberately done by Yun Hongshan in order to secure his position as the king of Yunjiang. Now that it involves the orders of the dignitaries of the Great Zhou, there is another world in it. ..."

What Shen Lingxi can think of, Chu Yan can naturally think of too.

His face turned cold, "I'll send someone to investigate immediately."

"I want to go to Yunjiang." Shen Lingxi looked at him and asked bluntly: "First, I want to see with my own eyes that Yun Wang received the grand ceremony of being the king of Yunjiang. Second, the Duke of Zhen is in Yunjiang Isn’t it better for His Highness to investigate in person than to ask others to investigate?”

She has never been someone who would hesitate in her heart and make wild suspicions.

Since you have doubts in your heart, you should find out the truth yourself.

For the first time since her rebirth, she had a strong thought in her heart, unwilling to believe that the destruction of the holy mountain was really Chu Yan's original intention.

But this kind of thing is not a trivial matter, whether it is his order, Yun Wang is now the king of Yunjiang, one can find out, there is no need for Yun Hongshan to lie.

Well, [-]% of them are true.

As for the hidden secrets, it needs to be verified.

In short, in order to save my little aunt, the death of the crown prince must be investigated.

Only by going to Yunjiang can we find out the truth about the destruction of the holy mountain, and also thoroughly investigate the curse.

Chu Yan did not expect that Shen Lingxi would make such a request.

He still remembered that when she rejected Mu Huai'an, she said, "I don't have any ambitions, and I don't like to go out. I just want to stay in the capital, guard the Fu'an Hall and the coffin shop that Ah Weng left behind, They grow bigger and stronger..."

Unexpectedly, now she would take the initiative to ask to go out of Beijing to Yunjiang.

You know, they have just got married and they will definitely attract a lot of suspicion and opposition when they go out of Beijing.

Chu Yan's gaze focused on Shen Lingxi's eyebrows and eyes.

This was the first time that he saw almost stubborn persistence in Shen Lingxi's eyes.

Chu Yan's eyes drooped slightly, and he was silent for a while, "Okay, wait for my arrangement."

　Awaited.
