After the first fool

Chapter 187
Mo Xiaoran stepped steadily into the threshold of the main hall. The civil and military officials stood in two rows, from the first rank to the seventh rank. The civil officials were on her left, and at the front was Mo Qing, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. On the right hand side of the front is Bai Mo, and Bai Qingluo sits under Bai Zixu, with a rosewood chair under him, and a square wooden table next to his elbow, and a cup of white jade tea is placed on the table cup.

This treatment...

The corner of Mo Xiaoran's mouth twitched suddenly. His leisurely demeanor at the moment was simply incompatible with this place, and the atmosphere was a bit dignified. Mo Xiaoran walked straight from the aisle in the center of the Baiguan to the lower end, looking up and sitting on the dragon chair. , dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, wearing a beaded curtain crown, handsome, gentle Bai Zixu, Xiao Zhu followed behind her, with his head down, not daring to look anywhere, only feeling that the sight piercing from all directions It seemed to penetrate her body, making her shudder.

"Your Majesty," the commander in charge of escorting Mo Xiaoran also followed in, clasped his fists, and said respectfully, "Mo Xiaoran has been brought here."

"En," Bai Zixu nodded, and the man retreated knowingly, but he didn't go far. He was just outside the court hall. Today, it was the first time since the founding of Dongyao Kingdom that the harem matter was being tried in the court hall. I have been curious for a long time in my heart, wanting to see if the former empress who murdered the royal family's heir can be cleared of the crime or just die.

Even though the red clothes she was wearing were already in dire straits, Mo Xiaoran could not see the slightest trace of exhaustion or regret on her face. Her eyes were burning and her demeanor was proud. Even if she was wrapped in coarse linen, she still had the ability to dress like Silk and satin, with outstanding temperament, makes people feel intimidated. She looked at Bai Zixu, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth, and then bowed her knees: "My daughter, Mo Xiaoran, sees the emperor."

Not a concubine, not my palace, she calls herself a minister's daughter!
The civil and military officials immediately became agitated. Even though the emperor issued an order to abolish the empress, Mo Xiaoran clearly accepted the decree of abolishing the empress willingly!Judging by her expression, there was no unwillingness at all, it was more like joy and relaxation.

Could it be that this woman was imprisoned for a fool?
Bai Zixu held the armrest of the dragon chair tightly, and looked coldly at Mo Xiaoran, who was bowing her knees. For some reason, this woman was clearly below him, but he was kind of moved. She was standing shoulder-to-shoulder with him. illusion!
"Where are the officials of Dali Temple? Where is the Minister of Criminal Affairs?" Bai Zixu didn't call out, but changed the subject, and instead asked the two ministers who tried the case. It's time to step up. Fortunately, she pays attention to exercise on weekdays. At this time in the court, she can't get up by herself regardless. Bai Zixu deliberately ignores her, but it will only give people the impression that he has a very small mind.

Mo Qing's face changed suddenly, and she looked at Mo Xiaoran worriedly, wanting to intercede for her, but she didn't know how to speak, Bai Mo also lowered her eyes, her arm close to her side tightened slightly, just about to make a sound Unexpectedly, one person spoke first. Bai Qingluo leaned lightly on the back of the chair, holding a cup of warm tea in his hand, and gave Bai Zixu a sideways look, "Your Majesty, Miss Mo is still kneeling."

"hiss--"

Gasping sounded one after another, no one expected that at this time, it would be Qing Wang, Bai Qingluo who spoke out for Mo Xiaoran!Their dim eyes kept wandering between the two of them. This King Qing is not a kind master, and now he would be the first to speak out for a mere Mo Xiaoran?Could it be that the two of them recognize each other?

The servant of the original punishment department already knew about their ambiguous relationship, so he was not surprised. Now he is not qualified to stand in the front of the officials, and his position is towards the entrance of the hall. He can only stand on tiptoe to see clearly what is going on in front of him.

Bai Zixu was obviously taken aback, quite displeased in his heart, and Bai Qingluo suddenly said, isn't it obvious that he wants to let Mo Xiaoran go? "Get up." Bai Zixu held back his breath and called Mo Xiaoran to get up. Afterwards, officials from Dali Temple and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment walked out of the queue one after another, sandwiching Mo Xiaoran from left to right, and saluted Bai Zixu. , "The humble minister sees the emperor."

Mo Xiaoran glanced at the Dali Temple official, who was staring at her dumbfounded. It seemed that she remembered the day when she overturned Zi Yan's case and recognized her identity.

Sitting at the top, Bai Zixu naturally saw every expression of the people below. Seeing that the Dali Temple official looked different, he asked coldly, "Qing family, why are you looking at this woman like this?"

The Dali Temple official was about to tell the truth, but unexpectedly received two extremely cold eyes. He glanced away from the corner of his eye, and saw King Qing and the Regent staring at him. Their bodies trembled. How could they dare to say anything? truth?He could only make up a nonsense excuse: "I just look at the queen... oh, no, it's because Miss Mo is very kind, that's why..."

There was a trace of confusion in Bai Zixu's eyes, but he thought about it carefully, Mo Xiaoran is from the palace, how could he recognize the officials of Dali Temple?So he suppressed this doubt in his heart, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked: "Have you two carefully investigated the murder of Concubine Xue?"

The corner of Mo Xiaoran's mouth twitched, and a cold light flickered in her lowered eyes. She said this as if Liao Xue had already lost her life. Was she killed?She was clearly lying in the Chaoyang Palace in good condition.

Mo Xiaoran is very aware of the impact of abortion on a woman's body, but if she doesn't sympathize with Liao Xue, it's her own fault!A woman who can even use her own child as a bargaining chip, as a bet, does not deserve the slightest bit of sympathy from her!
She just felt regret and pity, after all, it was a life, and that child hadn't opened his eyes yet, and had seen the world once.

A gloomy look flashed across Mo Xiaoran's eyes, and Mo Xiaoran hated Liao Xue's cruelty even more. How could such a woman be worthy of being the mother of a child?

The officials of Dali Temple exchanged glances with the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and then the Ministry of Justice took the lead in saying, "Return to the emperor, I have sent people to investigate this matter carefully, and the imperial guards outside the Palace of Compassionate Ning witnessed it with my own eyes. The former empress Mo Xiaoran Pushing Concubine Xue Gui down the stone steps with her own hands, causing Concubine Xue to have a miscarriage, and the dragon child in her womb passed away."

"Weichen also carefully questioned the maids who were present at the time, and went to Luoyue Hall to ask Concubine Shu. They also saw it with their own eyes. The queen pushed Concubine Xue to the side and let her fall down the stone steps." Dali Temple official tilted his head. With two black beards, he reported in detail, what he said was consistent with what Bai Zixu heard in the Palace of Compassion and Ning that day.

Mo Xiaoran lowered her head, remained silent, and let them send the confessions of the court ladies to Bai Zixu, and then Li Quan handed them over to the civil and military officials for viewing.

There were whispers in their ears, and [-]% of the civil and military officials believed that Liao Xue's miscarriage had something to do with Mo Xiaoran, and that one person could buy it off, but so many people had witnessed it one after another. It's iron proof!

How can Mo Xiaoran escape?How can I clear my accusation?Qingfeng, Zhuyue, and Suilang were standing outside the court hall, and Suilang immediately cast a look of "as expected" at Qingfeng, and he just said, Mo Xiaoran is just a woman, and now she is looking at her. These irrefutable evidences can only be grasped without a fight, and there is no possibility of rebuttal.

Bai Zixu frowned secretly, coughed lightly, and the officials below stopped their discussion and turned to look at him.

"Mo Xiaoran, what else do you have to say?" Bai Zixu looked at Mo Xiaoran with a determined face, as if he wanted to see the scene where she bowed her head and pleaded guilty. As soon as she thought about it, this woman was so cruel and merciless that she dared to murder him. Child, there is a fire in Bai Zixu's heart, which is getting more and more intense.

"Your Majesty, I have nothing to say." Mo Xiaoran's words made many people's expressions suddenly change. Bai Mo and the prime minister raised their hearts in their throats. Could it be that she gave up?Only Bai Qingluo was still sitting calmly on the chair, twirling the teacup in her hand carelessly, she would never give up just because of this, the Mo Xiaoran he knew would rather die standing up, and never live a life of mediocrity !
Sure enough, after a slight pause, Mo Xiaoran continued, "However, my daughter would like to do an experiment and let the ministers and the emperor have a look. After the experiment, everyone should make up their minds."

Her words were spoken calmly, and she smiled with confidence, as if she had a well-thought-out plan, but so many people present at that time had almost the same confessions. Could it be possible to reverse the case by doing an experiment?
A trace of disdain flashed in Bai Zixu's eyes, "Mo Xiaoran, what other tricks do you have?"

"What? Could it be that the emperor is afraid?" Mo Xiaoran smiled proudly, and met Bai Zixu's scrutinizing gaze, her words were sonorous and forceful, and she was not afraid of his emperor's status at all, standing firmly in place like a mountain, her demeanor, That momentum, like a beam of gorgeous sunshine, makes people unable to move their eyes away.

Bai Zixu clenched his five fingers, and suddenly clenched the armrest of the dragon chair. He met Mo Xiaoran's provocative gaze. The fire in his chest was burning brightly. He wanted to see what kind of storm this woman could cause. !
"Quite." The thin lips were slightly parted, and the words were almost spit out from between the teeth. The words were extraordinarily blunt. Even other people could clearly feel the anger in his heart, but the person involved, Mo Xiaoran, didn't seem to notice it. In general, he still smiled brightly, and even slapped a thousand and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En."

This time, it's really pissed off.

The corner of Bai Qingluo's mouth slowly curled up into a smile, and he knew that this woman would never be caught without a fight. Her ability is not limited to this?
Bai Mo breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Mo Xiaoran was extremely confident, he couldn't help but trust her a little more.

"I don't know if there are any ministers present who are willing to cooperate with my daughter to do a small experiment?" Mo Xiaoran looked at the civil and military officials on both sides with a smile, and seeing their hesitation, she continued: "Everyone can rest assured, this experiment, Firstly, it will not cause any damage to everyone, and secondly, it will not let everyone lose their lives, it is really just a small, non-dangerous experiment."

With her hands behind her back and her eyes piercing, she looked around among all the civil and military officials. Bai Mo saw that no one dared to come out, so she immediately cast a wink at her old department. Zhou Jie immediately walked out of the queue, followed by Zheng Shuang, "I The two are willing to cooperate with Miss Mo."

"En," Mo Xiaoran smiled at them gratefully, then looked at Bai Zixu: "Your Majesty, please move out of the hall."

"What on earth are you playing?" Bai Zixu's eyes were cold, but there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth, he stared at Mo Xiaoran and asked softly.

"It's just a small game, doesn't the emperor dare to move?" Mo Xiaoran was sure that in front of so many people, Bai Zixu would never be able to bear his aggressiveness.

Sure enough, he immediately ordered all civil and military officials to move outside the hall, while Mo Xiaoran, Zhou Jie and Zheng Shuang stood on the top of the stone steps. A large group of courtiers stood densely together, standing on tiptoe, I don't know what the hell the former queen is going to do.

"Is it okay now?" Bai Zixu stood at the forefront, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, flashing a golden halo in the sunlight, then he leaned close to Mo Xiaoran's ear and warned in a low voice : "You'd better not play tricks."

Mo Xiaoran's eyes turned cold, and then she smiled and said, "How dare my servant?"

Afterwards, she directed Zhou Jie and Zheng Shuang to stand behind her and beside her, right in the middle of the stone steps, with their backs to the courtiers.

"You follow my instructions later." Mo Xiaoran instructed Zhou Jie.

He nodded heavily, and wanted to see what kind of medicine this queen was selling in the gourd.
