After the first fool

Chapter 188 A Little Experiment

Mo Xiaoran was very close to Zhou Jie, only half a step away. She turned her head and smiled at Bai Zixu: "Your Majesty, you have to watch carefully."

this woman...

Bai Zixu gritted his teeth secretly, but due to the presence of all the officials present, he could only bear it. Don't think he didn't see the playfulness and playfulness in Mo Xiaoran's eyes. Hmph, he doesn't believe that this woman can really reverse the case under the watchful eyes of everyone?
Mo Xiaoran raised her steps slowly, as if she was about to walk down the steps. At this moment, her lips twitched slightly: "Turn towards me."

Zhou Jie always remembered what she said at the beginning, and he didn't dare to be negligent. He fell towards Mo Xiaoran, her body was slightly to the side, and Zhou Jie's figure suddenly rolled down neatly.

"Ah!" Someone exclaimed freely, but Zhou Jie was still a military commander, he only staggered a few steps, and then stood firmly on the stone steps, looking at Mo Xiaoran with a gloomy face and extremely displeasure.

"Everyone, can you see clearly?" Mo Xiaoran turned her head back, narrowed her eyes with a smile, her brows and eyes were bent into two crescent moons, and there was a faint flash of light in her eyes, like a fox.

Bai Zixu said in an extremely dangerous way: "Mo Xiaoran, are you hurting the imperial court official in public?"

If it wasn't for Zhou Jie's sharp eyesight and quick hands, he might have rolled down the stone steps right now.

"What do you mean by the emperor's words?" Mo Xiaoran blinked her eyes in confusion, as if she had been greatly wronged, "Your servant didn't do anything to him."

"Do you really think that the ministers present and I are blind? You pushed him down the stone steps with your own hands, and you dare to argue?" Bai Zixu saw it clearly. From his perspective, he could clearly see that Mo Xiaoran was about to step down the steps. At that time, he pushed Zhou Jie, which caused Zhou Jie to almost fall down the stone steps. How could it be false?But this woman still pretended to be extremely innocent, which really made people angry!
"Eh?" Mo Xiaoran's eyes widened in surprise, "When did I push him?"

"Mo Xiaoran!" Bai Zixu shouted coldly, "I see with both eyes, you push General Zhou down, ministers, what do you think?"

"Yes, the old minister also witnessed this woman attacking General Zhou."

"So does Weichen."

"So does Weichen."

……

When Bai Zixu asked, many courtiers agreed one after another. They really saw it with their own eyes.

Now, not only Mo Xiaoran smiled, but also Zhou Jie and Zheng Shuang looked puzzled. Seeing that the expressions of the three of them were not right, Bai Zixu immediately asked, "Why, isn't it? General Zhou, tell me." He didn't want to Listen to Mo Xiaoran's one-sided words.

Zhou Jie immediately clasped his fists and reported back: "My Majesty, it is true that Mo Xiaoran has never touched a humble minister just now."

"What--" There was an exclamation from the crowd, "but we are all looking at her..."

"It was Mo Xiaoran who gave the orders to the minister, and I followed her instructions." Zhou Jie explained, vaguely, as if he understood what Mo Xiaoran meant by this move.

"Mo Xiaoran, what's going on?" Bai Zixu was at a loss, the smile on his mouth had disappeared, and he asked in a cold voice, obviously they saw with their own eyes that she pushed Zhou Jie down the stone steps, but why, in fact But nothing like what they saw?

Everyone looked at Mo Xiaoran, waiting for her explanation.

"It's actually very simple," Mo Xiaoran raised her lips and smiled. I don't know if it's because the sun above her head is too bright, or the smile on her face is too gorgeous. At this moment, she seems to condense all the beauty in the world, so dazzling that people can't move. Keeping your eyes open, "I just took advantage of your visual difference, that is, the loophole in your vision. There is this minister," she pointed at Zheng Shuang, "blocking behind you. What you see is me and General Zhou. A picture of walking side by side."

All the officials couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with what Mo Xiaoran said.

"I didn't push General Zhou down just now, but he obeyed my order and turned to me. I didn't do anything, but turned sideways to avoid it. But in your eyes, it was I who pushed General Zhou away inadvertently." Make him not stand still, and he will fall when he is caught off guard." She explained slowly, in fact, in the end, all she did was to reproduce the frame-up seven days ago.

"So? What exactly do you want to prove?" Bai Zixu felt uneasy in his heart, always feeling that Mo Xiaoran didn't seem like someone who would do useless work.

There was a bright smile on the corner of her mouth: "I just want to tell the emperor, you see, so many ministers are here, but they still haven't seen every move between me and General Zhou. Walking in the front with Concubine Xue, with their backs to the palace people at that time, how could they see clearly what Concubine Xue and I are doing?"

Everyone at the scene was taken aback, and after thinking about it carefully, they also felt that there was some truth to this statement.

"Are you trying to say that everyone present at that time saw it wrong?" Bai Zixu narrowed his eyes in displeasure, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Mo Xiaoran, these are just your sophistry!"

"When did I ever quibble?" Mo Xiaoran pretended to sigh helplessly, "I was just stating a fact to the emperor."

"What fact?" Bai Zixu was almost taken aback by her, what was the point of what she said? "You can speak up if you have something to say!"

This is what I want!
Mo Xiaoran was overjoyed, and two bright halos shot out from her eyes, "I just want to tell the emperor that the palace attendants who were present that day never saw exactly how Concubine Xue fell, but because of preconceived ideas, I feel that I pushed Concubine Xue, and their testimony is just like every sentence you said just now, which does not match the truth. Since it does not match, there are errors in the so-called evidence, the so-called confession. There is an error," she deliberately paused, and many smart people have understood what she meant, "then, to discuss my crime, I'm afraid I have to produce more ironclad evidence!"

Bai Zixu's body was stiff for a moment. He squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Mo Xiaoran who was lowered. At this moment, she was shining brightly, like the scorching sun above the sky. Every word, every expression, every Every movement seems to have a magical power that makes people unable to look away.

"Then what are your plans?" Unconsciously, he softened his voice, wanting to hear Mo Xiaoran's plan.

She gently tugged at her sleeves, and raised her brows slowly: "Since the evidence is unreliable, then I would like to ask the emperor to issue an order to let Concubine Xue, who is the victim, go to court with the court lady! She is one of the parties involved." One, come to think of it, Concubine Xue Gui should also appear here, right?"

"She had a miscarriage a few days ago, her body is very weak, I don't..."

"Your Majesty," Mo Xiaoran interrupted Bai Zixu directly, "If you are worried about the long distance, you can send someone to carry Concubine Xue in a sedan chair. I don't mind. Now there is no evidence, no physical evidence, even a confession. Doubtful, if the Emperor didn't invite Concubine Xue to the scene, would it be possible that he wants to directly convict me in front of all civil and military officials?"

Bai Zixu was stunned immediately, don't tell me, he really planned that in the first place, after all, there were so many people present that day, and the confessions were all consistent, it can be said to be solid evidence!He never thought that Mo Xiaoran would have the ability to find out doubts, and even force him into this dilemma!
"However," Mo Xiaoran became annoyed when she saw his sluggish appearance, "You are the emperor and the emperor, and now I am just a common man. If the emperor wants to discuss my crimes, all he needs is a word, and I will die. There is no place for burial, the emperor would not invite Concubine Xue to come here, as long as there is a decree, I can be imprisoned or beheaded to vent my anger, and I, Mo Xiaoran, can only be captured without a fight."

But would Bai Zixu dare to do this?

Not only the imperial guards are present, but also the pillars of Dongyao Kingdom, all the civil and military officials are present, if he really made such a will, I'm afraid, he will become a foolish king!
"Your Majesty, my brother thinks what Mo Xiaoran said is reasonable." Seeing this, Bai Mo hurriedly spoke up to help Mo Xiaoran, "Since she has found out the doubts about this case, she should let the imperial concubine come here and confront her." , this is the only way to show the justice of the royal family, and it will never wrong a good person."

Bai Zixu gave Bai Mo a displeased look, don't think he doesn't know what this man is thinking about!It was only because he was interested in Mo Xiaoran that he would help at this moment.

"Your Majesty, the Regent's words are very true." Many military officers headed by Bai Mo also spoke up one after another. After all, Mo Xiaoran's words are so convincing. If she is easily accused of crimes, it may be unreasonable and unacceptable. .

The prime minister was naturally on Mo Xiaoran's side, and a group of civil servants followed suit. Nearly [-]% of the officials suggested to Bai Zixu that they wanted to invite Liao Xue to come here to confront him. Bai Zixu looked at these courtiers coldly and opened their mouths wide , to intercede for Mo Xiaoran, feeling angry and anxious from the bottom of my heart!
He is the Son of Heaven, yet he was forced into such a situation by a woman, by his own courtiers!
How sad?How ridiculous?
"Uncle Emperor, what's your opinion?" Bai Zixu suddenly turned his head and looked towards the end of the crowd. Bai Qingluo, who was standing under the red-painted corridor of the main hall, was wearing a dark purple court dress. He stood quietly on the spot, as if A sculpture that has long been petrified, with cold brows, restrained aura, and dull eyes. Hearing Bai Zixu's words, he looked at Mo Xiaoran, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "This king also thinks that Mo Xiaoran is so beautiful." What Xiao Ran said makes sense."

Now, I'm afraid Zixu lost his wife and lost his army.

Bai Zixu's eyes turned cold. At this point, does he have any other solutions?Seeing many courtiers defecting, Liao Ke didn't open his mouth to refute at all, he could only wipe the cold sweat off his face, praying that the emperor would not listen to Mo Xiaoran's nonsense and really invite Xue'er to the court.

"Li Quan." Bai Zixu called out in a deep voice.

Li Quan stepped forward immediately, "The servant is here."

"Go," he glanced at the courtiers who were present to support Mo Xiaoran one by one, his cheeks twitched slightly, "Go to Chaoyang Palace, invite Concubine Xue, and just say, I have something to see her."

"Cover!" Li Quan didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly ran towards Chaoyang Palace.

Bai Zixu gave Mo Xiaoran a cold look, his eyes were filled with haze, then he swung his sleeves abruptly, turned around and stepped into the hall again, leaving only a neat back.

Mo Xiaoran shrugged her shoulders noncommittally, and cast grateful eyes on Bai Mo and others who spoke up for her.

In fact, she only forced Bai Zixu to order Liao Xue to come here because all the officials were here. She wanted to expose Liao Xue's true colors with her own hands!Seek justice for yourself.
