Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Zhao Hanguang's body slowly slid down from the temple pillar, leaving a trail of blood on it, which was shocking to see.

Everyone was shocked and silent for a long time.

Shen Yanchuan's eyes were dark as he watched the scene quietly.

In fact, before the morning court today, he had already guessed that Zhao Hanguang would take action, but he did not expect that he would choose such a decisive method.

"Send Lord Zhao back."

This cold voice finally brought everyone back to their senses.

Eunuch Li looked at Emperor Mu Wu carefully. Emperor Mu Wu closed his eyes and raised his hand.

"Have a good burial."

Someone immediately came forward and took away Zhao Hanguang's body, leaving only a trace of blood, which was exceptionally bright red.

Emperor Mu Wu opened his eyes again, his eyes were extremely cold, and he just stared at Xu Jie.

"Zhao Hanguang died to prove his loyalty and accused you of murdering Huo Yucheng. Xu Jie! What else do you have to say? "

Xu Jie was shaking like a sieve and felt a chill all over his body.

say what?
Zhao Hanguang has blocked all his paths!
What's more, the things just mentioned about Li Duo and others are not false.

How can we cover up what happened?!
Xiao Chengxuan was also very confused at this time.

Why did Zhao Hanguang suddenly turn against us? Did he know something? But if that was the case, he never gave him up until his death...

How did things turn out like this?
Shen Yanchuan turned his eyes slightly and glanced at him indifferently.

Xiao Chengxuan frowned, seeming shocked by what happened today.

Of course, he still looked like an outsider who had nothing to do with him.

However, the panic in his eyes revealed that he was not as calm as he appeared.

Shen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across his eyes.

Xiao Chengxuan thought everything was perfect, but he didn't know that Zhao Hanguang already knew the truth. From his distress to his rescue by Xiao Chengxuan, and even his subsequent appreciation and promotion, all were designed by Xiao Chengxuan.

Zhao Hanguang was reluctant to accept it, but he had to.

He regarded Xiao Chengxuan as a noble man and had devoted all his efforts to him over the years. But suddenly he realized that he was just his plaything. He felt so humiliated and desperate.

So in the end he chose this path.

Having avenged himself and expressed gratitude, he escaped from this muddy water with a clean slate.

But... it's a pity after all.

Seeing that Xiao Chengxuan was reluctant to speak up for him, Xu Jie felt disappointed.

He no longer cared about anything else and hurriedly defended himself.

"Your Majesty is wise! I am truly innocent! I have a deep friendship with General Huo, how could I do such a cruel thing!"

Shen Yanchuan nodded his chin and said, "Master Xu is right. This is what we are most curious about. No matter what, General Huo and you are from the same hometown, and he has helped you wholeheartedly more than once. If it were someone else, they would definitely be grateful for such a favor and remember it in their hearts for the rest of their lives. But I don't know what Master Xu was thinking, that he could decisively abandon such a friendship?"

Xu Jie was anxious: "Your Highness, please be careful with your words! I have never done those things, so how can I make such absurd remarks!"

Shen Yanchuan smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Whether he did it or not, only Lord Xu knows. After all, I really can't imagine how Lord Xu offended both the Censorate and the Imperial Household Department at the same time, and even caused one of them to die as a denunciation?"

"you!"

Xu Jie was speechless. He felt as if a stone was pressing on his chest and it was difficult for him to breathe.

Only at this moment did he realize that the Prince of Dingbei in front of him seemed different from the one he had seen before!
When he was in Changzhou, he thought he had seen through Shen Yanchuan. The other party wanted to investigate him, but they found nothing, didn't they?
But now, it was also him who pushed him into the land of doubt with just a few words!

It seems elegant and harmless, but... Xu Jie's heart suddenly sank when he met those dark and indifferent eyes.

Only at this moment did he realize one thing: he seemed to have misjudged Shen Yanchuan!
However, in this situation, there was not much time left for him to reflect.

Many excuses flashed through his mind quickly, and he stuttered when he spoke.

"Your humble servant, your humble servant - I don't know why Lord Zhao wants to frame me like this! And that letter, those two letters, after all, are just two letters with the same handwriting. How can you say that I wrote them?"

Xiao Chengxuan paused, and finally spoke: "There is no signature on it, and it is indeed different from Lord Xu's usual handwriting. I'm afraid... I really need to check it carefully."

Xu Jie was delighted.

As long as someone is willing to speak for him, there is hope——

"Master Xu refuses to acknowledge me?"

Shen Yanchuan interrupted him, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Wouldn't that hurt Yunniang's heart?"

Xu Jie's mind buzzed.

Yunniang was his favorite geisha in the past six months. She had a soft voice and was talented. She was very different from other prostitutes, so he liked her very much.

He wrote more than one letter to her!
Xu Jie suddenly realized something and opened his eyes wide - Shen Yanchuan's trip to Changzhou did not mean he found nothing, on the contrary, he found the most deadly thing!
That letter, that letter... I'm afraid it's from Shen Yanchuan to Xu Fengchi!
"As for the other one." Shen Yanchuan paused, looked at Xu Fengchi, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Since Lord Xu can take it out, it must be true."

"What the prince said is absolutely true."

Xu Fengchi sighed inwardly as he recalled the shock he felt when he received the letter.

He lifted his shirt and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I dare not hide anything. This letter was left by Ye Zheng."

As soon as the words fell, there was a brief silence, followed by an uproar!
"Ye Zheng!? Which Ye Zheng?!"

"Who else could it be? Of course it's the one from the former Ministry of Justice! If it wasn't for the accident when he was pleading for Huo Yucheng, he would have already been the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice by now!"

"It's him! But, but how come he has this letter from Huo Yucheng?"

"This... I remember that he was the one who was in charge of trying this case? Could it be that he already knew something at that time?"

There are different opinions.

Xu Jie was already confused.

Why, why is Ye Zheng still involved?!

Emperor Mu Wu's face was tense and his eyes were stern.

"Since Ye Zheng had this thing, why didn't he present it to us at the beginning!?"

Xu Fengchi kowtowed deeply:
"Your Majesty, it's not that Ye Zheng intended to hide it, but... he didn't have time to open the letter at the time, let alone know the contents of the letter."

Emperor Mu Wu frowned: "What did you say?"

……

"Sister, what are you looking at?"

When Ye Yunfeng walked by the corridor, he saw Ye Chutang had propped up the window and was sitting by it, with a small wooden box on the table.

The wooden box looked old, with broken edges and a copper lock hanging on it alone.

She seemed in a trance.

Hearing the voice, Ye Chutang tilted his head slightly.

Ye Yunfeng saw the wooden box and was a little confused: "Isn't this the box that Dad left behind? Sister, didn't you send it back to Qingzhou?" (End of this chapter)
