Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

"I don't want Governor Lu to be framed by treacherous ministers on trumped-up charges. Since the crime of framing Governor Lu is related to me, I must return Governor Lu's innocence no matter what."

Hearing what Chai Hongyu said, although they had guessed in their hearts, everyone couldn't help showing shock on their faces.

Even Yan Song, in those cloudy old eyes, unexpectedly flashed a flash of surprise.

He never expected that the most unlikely thing would actually happen!

You must know that in the laws of Great Xia, no matter what the reason is, no matter what difficulties you have, as long as there is an act of treason, it is a death penalty, and Chai Hongyu, as the number one general of the rebels, has made great military exploits for the growth of Yu Jiuyuan over the years , I don't know how many bloods of court officials have been stained on my hands.

It is definitely a proper super villain who cannot be punished.

As long as such a person is caught by the court, he will definitely die, and his death will be extremely miserable, and eventually he will die.

In order to prove Lu Chen's innocence, Chai Hongyu even gave up her life? !

Although her doing so may not necessarily change Lu Chen's tragic fate of being dismissed from office or even beheaded for public display, but in any case, her determination to return Lu Chen's innocence to death is unimaginable.

Yan Song really couldn't understand, what kind of magical power does Lu Chen have, to let a female traitor who hates the court do this for him?

Is it really because of Lu Chenjun as Chen Cang said before...

The Empress frowned slightly.

"To repay Lu Qing's innocence?"

"Exactly."

Chai Hongyu said lightly:

"Other than that, I have no other intentions. I just ask Your Majesty to give me another chance to prove that Governor Lu is innocent. After this matter is over, Your Majesty will behead my head or execute him late, and I will have no complaints. "

Hearing this and feeling the determination in these words, the Empress couldn't help but her eyes trembled, and then she glanced at Lu Chen inexplicably.

The same thought as Yan Song slowly emerged in his mind.

Then she slowly asked: "Why do you, a traitor, do this for a court official? Lu Qing is a great talent. With him, our national fortune in Daxia will flourish. When the world is peaceful, the common people Live and work in peace, how can you and other rebels still have a place to stand?"

After a pause, she continued: "I don't understand why Lu Qing is such a threat to you and the rebels. You should regard Lu Qing as a thorn in your side and a thorn in your flesh. Why did you make countless contributions to that rebel in Jiuyuan?" Instead, you want to clear up Lu Qing's grievances."

After finishing speaking, she stared straight into Chai Hongyu's eyes, as if she wanted to see something from her eyes.

However, under her gaze, Chai Hongyu's eyes did not shake at all.

calm as water.

"Because there are countless people in the world who have been living in dire straits for thousands of years. They need a person who has a heart for the common people and has the ability to help the world. Governor Lu is the only one who can help the world in my mind."

She spoke calmly, as if she was talking about a matter of course.

"Everything that Governor Lu has done for Yuzhou, all the benevolent policies he has implemented, and the changes he has brought to the people all over Yuzhou have made me see a kind of hope, a hope that has never appeared in all dynasties, so..."

Having said that, she raised her head slightly, and there was some special power in her voice.

"I must not just stand by and watch Governor Lu, a rare and good official in the world, be framed by treacherous officials in the court, and then die in depression. No matter what, I must keep this glimmer of hope for the people of the world, even if I have to sacrifice everything for it."

It was said that whether it was Liu Dongyang, Fang Ping, or Xiao Yun, Gu Simiao and other people who had a close relationship with Lu Chen, when they were shocked, their faces all showed expressions of emotion.

This female devil, who was rumored to be extremely hostile to the imperial court, murdered without blinking an eye, and took pleasure in slaughtering court officials, actually had the common people of the world in her heart...

And Lu Chen, who has always advocated putting the people first, turned out to be a fellow!

In this way, it makes sense that she risked her life to save Lu Chen!

It's not a concubine's love at all, the husband and wife are deeply in love, it's just a simple sympathy for each other.

Chai Hongyu saw Lu Chen doing his best to benefit the people in Yuzhou, and was greatly shocked. The hatred for the court in his heart did not affect Lu Chen at all. Instead, he forgot his position as a traitor. Chen is a huge threat to kill him, but he is at all costs to keep him safe.

This is all because what they pursue is the same way!

Thinking of this, the eyes of several people looking at Chai Hongyu gradually became complicated.

It's a bit of a pity for such a strange woman who has a heart for the common people and does not lose her benevolence...

Alas, the beauty of Qingben, how can I be a thief...

But after Lu Chen himself heard these words, a certain kind of throbbing that had been hidden in his heart began to rise rapidly, pouring into his mind continuously, making him feel inexplicable and inexplicable.

But he knew that he did not reject this feeling.

In the past, he insisted on morality at all costs on the surface, and made all kinds of incomprehensible but inexplicably shocking astonishing acts, but now, someone is desperate for him and sacrifices his life for righteousness...

He hasn't become a fairy yet, and he still can't be hard-hearted.

Chai Hongyu's move deeply touched his heart.

Seeking happiness for the common people...and benefiting the common people...

What I saw and heard in Yuzhou City, those people who were hungry and cold, but were oppressed by the government and the king of Yu, killed wantonly like ants, the dilapidated farmhouses, the expressions of the people crying with joy when they received the relief food he personally delivered... ... Scenes kept hitting his mind.

Although he was silent, with an unresponsive and calm appearance, in fact, his heart was overwhelmed.

Lu Chen was not the only one who was silent. The courtiers who criticized him before and threatened that "If Lu Chen is not punished, the country will be destroyed", also fell silent, without saying a word.

After a while, the voice of the Empress resounded in the Tai Chi Hall again.

"So that's the case, I know."

As she spoke, she turned her head slightly, and looked at Lu Chen who was silent at the bottom of the jade steps, who seemed to be thinking about something important.

"Lu Qing, this is what you said before, the truth is that those who have attained the Dao will be helped more, and those who have lost the Dao will be helped less?"

Hearing the empress asking himself, Lu Chen suddenly came back to his senses, then sighed inexplicably, and said softly:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Lu Qing really has a good idea."

The Empress gave a heartfelt admiration.

"Governing benevolently, doing righteous deeds, even the enemy can be influenced, Lu Qing, you really taught me a good lesson."

Having said that, she looked at Lu Chen with a look of reverence gradually.

"This truth, I will definitely keep it in my heart from now on, and I will spend my whole life implementing it to the end. I... will also embark on the way of helping the world that you are pursuing, Qing Lu!"

Lu Chen: "..."

Just when Lu Chen was constipated, the expressions of the other courtiers suddenly became complicated when they heard what the empress said.

Especially Chen Cang.

Seeing that the Empress recognized Lu Chen so much, Ai Wu Ji Wu Xia had no doubts about the female traitor Chai Hongyu's words that were obviously beneficial to Lu Chen. Seeing that the matter seemed to be settled, his complexion suddenly turned extremely pale, Even breathing became a little rough.

A stern look flashed in his eyes when he thought of what would happen to him after this matter ended in this way.

Then, when the Empress and Lu Chen met each other, he suddenly stood up, fixed his eyes on Chai Hongyu, and asked in a cold voice:

"Chai Hongyu, didn't you say you want to prove your innocence for Lu Shilang? Could it be that these words are your way of proving?"

As soon as the words came out, the empress frowned instantly.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for others to speak, Chen Cang said again: "As the saying goes, there is no proof, evidence is needed to handle the case, and corresponding evidence is also required to reverse the case, otherwise who knows if you said this to keep Lu Chen lie?"

"Of course not."

Chai Hongyu responded to Chen Cang expressionlessly, then suddenly knelt down on one knee, and at the same time cupped her hands towards the empress.

"Your Majesty, I would like to use the technique of soul searching to prove that Governor Lu and I are innocent and have absolutely no connection with each other!"

Chapter 166 Immersive Experience

Soul search technique?

Chai Hongyu's words almost stunned everyone, especially Chen Cang. At this time, his face was like the white snow that has not melted for thousands of years in a barren state, and it turned extremely pale in an instant.

The so-called soul searching technique is a technique that can detect other people's memories.

However, this highly functional technique is actually not advanced. On the contrary, the seals, spells, and spiritual power circuits of the soul search technique are quite simple, and you can basically learn it immediately.

But basically no one will specifically learn this method, and there are very few people who are proficient in this technique.

The reason is simple - the conditions for the activation of this technique are too harsh.

If you want to use the soul search technique to spy on someone else's memory, the other party must not have any thoughts of resistance and be willing to be soul searched, otherwise, even if there is even a trace of resistance, the technique will fail instantly.

Moreover, soul searching is an extremely painful process, and the torment suffered by the soul searcher in this process far exceeds any kind of torture.

Therefore, even if the other party is willing, the soul search technique is extremely difficult to succeed. After all, if there is no strong willpower to resist the pain of the soul search, the soul will definitely resist instinctively, which will lead to the failure of the soul search.

What's more, the soul search technique is accompanied by a great risk of death. If you are not careful, the touched soul will dissipate instantly.

The soul is the root of a person. If the soul is destroyed, it is a question of whether one can enter the six realms of reincarnation after death.

So although the soul search technique is simple and powerful, it is completely useless.

Only those monks who are interested in soul-like spells will delve into this method.

Hearing that Chai Hongyu wanted to use the soul searching technique, she was willing to take the huge risk of losing her soul to reveal her memory, just to prove Lu Chen's innocence, and everyone was shocked to the point of numbness.

Chai Hongyu could do this for Lu Chen...

Not to mention confidantes, no matter how loyal a courtier is, even a Taoist companion, it is impossible to sacrifice oneself to this extent, right?

In her heart, how important is Lu Chen...

As for the person involved, Lu Chen was staring at the flaming red figure not far away who was kneeling on the ground pleading for orders from the empress, his usually calm eyes shrank suddenly.

He naturally knew that it was impossible for Chai Hongyu, who had only met him twice, to have any special feelings for him. The reason why she was so resolute was purely because of what he had done for the people of Yuzhou.

He took a deep breath, and then said softly: "Miss Chai, you and I met by chance, why so..."

However, before he finished speaking, Chai Hongyu swept her beautiful eyes and looked over.

"In this world, I, Chai Hongyu, can be without me, but you, Governor Lu, are indispensable. Your talent for helping the world and your heart of benevolence and righteousness are the greatest hope of the suffering people in Great Xia. As long as you are in a high position, you will surely be able to bless the world , Therefore, if sacrificing your future can save your future, I feel that this must be the most worthwhile transaction in the world."

"Even if the body dies and the dao disappears, I will have no complaints or regrets!"

Hearing these words, Lu Chen's heart felt as if someone had hit him with a hammer, his breathing stopped suddenly, and a clear expression of emotion gradually appeared on his back.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for him to speak again, Chai Hongyu turned her head abruptly, and said to the Empress in a concentrated voice:

"I beg your majesty to do it."

The moment the voice fell, everyone immediately looked at the empress together.

However, Lu Chen suddenly bowed heavily to the empress, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I beg you to borrow the sword of the ultimate way."
