Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 103

He who was originally on leave, today, as a witness, walked into the hall with embarrassment on his face, and knelt down at the corner of the hall.

Most of the rest of the people are nothing more than peddlers and pawns, at most they have been outside the side hall of the palace. Where have they ever experienced the core of the country, the magnificent and majestic political center, facing the supreme and noble emperor, surrounded by far away people? When you meet a noble person who you want to avoid?Not to mention having to face the emperor to inquire about the crimes of the prince in such a place where the eaves are vivid, the golden dragon is flying, and the sight of it will faint He stared at the heels of the kneeling person in front of him, not daring to raise his head.

Qin Changge breathed out silently—he had no guts. Fortunately, before leaving, he asked Qi Fan to give them each a "Zhuangzhi Pill" that she developed before to improve courage. It was made for fun before. I never thought it would come in handy today.

Kneeling three times and knocking nine times, one by one spoke in turn. Although some people stammered, some did not convey their meaning, some made mistakes in punctuating sentences, and some spoke incoherently, but finally, it was over.

"...Caomin's humble day, it should have been March. It was King Zhao who said to Caomin at the beginning of February: "It is planned to be my husband's birthday, but I am afraid that there will be no time in March. Can it be brought forward?"? Yes... the end of the second month of February, it's really not a grassroots day."

"...Huang Mogu was drunk that night, he once stained King Zhao's clothes, King Zhao went to the inner room to tidy up, and it took about two quarters...I saw it with my own eyes."

"...Huang Mogu suffers from alcohol allergies. He drank less on weekdays, but he behaved abnormally that day..."

"...The servant went into the study room to clean up the filth that night. Butler Liu ordered that no one is allowed to enter the inner room, and no one else is allowed to enter. The servant is asked to guard the door connecting the inner and outer rooms."

"...That night Zhao Wang went out in a sedan chair from the back door, and the servants waited at the back door after receiving orders. At about two o'clock, when the prince came out, the servants and other brothers carried them all the way to the duty room in the palace. Commander Dong came out and continued... After the slave came back, he fell asleep very hard, and when he woke up, he found himself in the mass grave... All the brothers died, and only one slave survived, but he has been disabled since then, and has been begging for food day……"

"Criminal woman Yao Qiong, I wish your Majesty ten thousand years, and she will appeal to His Majesty Dan on behalf of her late husband... My late husband was bewitched and instigated to commit a heinous crime first, and then he was killed by someone crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and my late husband left a blood book in it." Therefore, the criminal woman knew that the enemy's family was powerful, and she dared not speak out for several years. She hid and drifted away with her husband's blood certificate. If he hadn't been loyal to this man, how could my late husband have betrayed His Majesty and suffered such a murder... The sinful woman is willing to take the place of her late husband's crimes and be punished by torture, and only asks Your Majesty to uphold the rule of law so that no one who is guilty will be spared!"

"The prisoner...Jiang Hua...is guilty...the king of Zhao and Commander Dong conspired to change the guards in front of the Changle Palace that day. The prisoner saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own eyes...the prisoner was on duty that day, around midnight, the prisoner went out I saw them when I handed over the memorial of the day to the Imperial Study...the Golden Chamber Room has records of prisoners going out..."

Unanimous opinion, the evidence is as solid as a mountain.

Everyone said in their hearts: King Zhao is dead.

His eyes could be pity, intolerance, or gloating towards Xiao Chen, who has never said a word. This person has always been known for his calmness, wisdom, and outstanding intelligence. It's not nonsense, every word has weight—it's the same when I saw it today, but, in the impenetrable net of this powerful woman, what kind of powerful words do you have to use to be able to speak? Break through the net, or even fight back?
In full view, Xiao Chen didn't look at anyone who was whispering, and didn't look at Qin Changge, who was casual but fierce. He just knelt on the ground, looked at Xiao Jue calmly and even slightly sadly, his eyes were cold, like plum blossoms in snow, clouds Zhong Yuanyue, the desolation of this moment is like an unfinished eulogy.

He seemed to have no feelings for such heinous crimes and harsh words, he seemed to be indifferent to proving his innocence, he seemed to just want to dig out from Xiao Jue's eyes what he really thought in his heart, and wanted to know, what was flying deep in the pavilion? Is the boy dancing the sword in the light snow really the majestic and noble man in front of him?

He just stared at Xiao Jue so closely.

Xiao Jue's fingers were only holding the thirteen testimonies.

His eyes slowly moved down to Xiao Jue's clenched fingers, Xiao Chen suddenly smiled extremely sadly.

It's like how much deep hatred I don't understand the melancholy of the past.

The frost on the stone bridge that year, how come today, it is still cold on the brows, so cold...

Even my heart is frozen...

His eyes became colder by the minute.

Like a piece of cold jade, sinking into the ice spring of an eternal abyss that never sees the sun.

The silence of this moment is like ten thousand years.

Thousands of years later, the sea has changed, the clouds have changed, and the distance has become farther.

A low and weak word suddenly sounded like the sound of a giant bell, breaking through layers of shackles and shaking in everyone's heart.

"You have been testifying that I behaved strangely that night and had a secret act in Changle Palace, but you can't prove that I killed the former empress." Xiao Chen said lightly, "And all your evidence is based on the fact that Qin It is based on the premise of the death of the Empress and Prince Mingxuan."

"if--"

He turned his head mockingly, looking at Qin Changge.

At this moment, his gaze was as cold as a sword of ice, piercing into the flesh, bone, hair and skin.

"Empress Ruiyi and Prince Ming Xuan are not dead at all?"

When one word is spoken, wind and thunder rise, and when one word is spoken, thousands of people are startled.

This is no longer "one word is worth ten thousand gold", but "one word is worth ten thousand enemies".

With a sound of "bang", an official who has always been suffering from heart disease couldn't stand the shock wave after wave on the Golden Palace today, and fell straight to the ground, becoming the first victim of this silent attack.

The servant immediately dragged the man out quickly with his hands and feet.

Xiao Jue had no time to pay attention to the fainted people, let alone the expressions of the officials. At this moment, he couldn't control his heart agitation. Gouging out a hole in the sandalwood - is it possible?is it possible?
These days, there are too many overturned things.

Could it be that in the end, everything returns to the original point?
The suspicion in my heart recently, the suspicion that I have been trying to find clues, is just my fantasy?
And the long-standing obsession is the real reality?

This was such a wonderful wish, so beautiful that it was like a mirror in the water, so beautiful that he dared not face it all these years, and he didn't even want to hear her name—he didn't want to give himself a chance to think deeply, he was afraid of those things. In-depth exploration will shatter the dream until the appearance of Mingshuang, which makes him muster up the courage to explore the truth, but he is finally hit hard by the bloody reality.

If it weren't for the seriousness of the injury, how could he try to take revenge?How could he endure the pain of cutting his heart, choose to doubt his weak younger brother, put him above the court, and face the accusations and attacks of others like sharp swords and knives?

However, Ah Chen's words were indifferent, but his expression was so indifferent and contemptuous, he was really not afraid.

A ray of spark, resurgence.

He stared at Xiao Chen closely, and he didn't realize that even his voice had changed, "Master Zhao, why do you say that?"

Xiao Chen's eyes were filled with a faint sense of snow, and his voice was as cool as snowdrops. Against his pale cheeks, it seemed like a bleak moonlight in a winter night. He didn't answer Xiao Jue's question, but tilted his head , looking at Qin Changge with complicated eyes.

"You're so scheming, so meticulous, so thoughtful... But you can't prove my crime of assassination after all. You take every step of the way, thinking that you are a net of heaven and earth? It's a pity that I think you are so ridiculous!"

As soon as he kowtowed, he didn't look at Xiao Jue, and just said in a low voice: "The woman has finished what she should say earlier, and it's time for my younger brother to defend her falsehood—my younger brother also asks your majesty to uphold justice and give this to me." This is a chance for my brother to defend himself."

His eyes narrowed, showing a slight sense of sadness, Xiao Jue said shyly after a long while: "Yes."

His heart sank heavily.

Ah Chen... After this incident, will it be difficult for us brothers to return to the days when we were in harmony and sincerely treated each other?
I... finally became a complete loner...

Xiao Chen got up slowly, stared at Qin Changge, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, not complacency, not joy, but a resolute smile, radiant and chilling.

He looked at Qin Changge, and said word by word: "Today, the king will teach you a truth. Listen carefully. I guess you will never have a chance to use it in this life. You will probably need it after reincarnation——words, you can always read it." It’s weight rather than quantity, it’s not that you present enough evidence, your words are as sharp as a knife’s edge, and you can be proud to the end——I don’t need long testimonies, and I don’t need this group of witnesses like grasshoppers tied on a rope , I don’t even need to say much, I only need two people, it is enough to prove that you, you lowly woman, have lost your mind and eaten the guts of a leopard, and you are actually in the court, before the imperial court, trying to falsely accuse you of treason Prince of a country!"

He sneered, flicked his sleeves, turned his head, and said:
"Please queen, prince!"

Queen!Prince!
Which queen and prince?
The fingers of all the officials pinched into the palms, and the palms were wet, sticky, and full of sweat—in the Xiliang Dynasty, the only queens and princes who could exist at the same time were Empress Ruiyi and Prince Mingxuan!

What kind of drama is this today? Not once in 100 years!
The eyebrows raised, the cold light flickered and faded, Qin Changge's brows that were slightly furrowed because of Xiao Chen's words just now really wrinkled together.

What did Rong Xiaotian do!

Did he really fail to keep an eye on people?
Xiao Chen...is really a formidable person...

How could she care about the reactions of Xiao Jue and the ministers, she just lowered her head nervously and thought about the countermeasures, suddenly she felt a silence around her, a strange silence that held her breath, and then, the commotion broke out again.

The palace gate is wide and deep.

There is a woman, Yiran, who comes on the clouds.

A slant of the rising sun, the light is brilliant, not as radiant as that person, with crescent eyebrows and cloud temples, returning wind and dancing snow, incense and jade carvings, phoenixes and dragons flying.
