After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan got up and left Chen Long's yard.

Under the moonlight, Chen Long's fingers on the stone table moved slightly.

-

The news that there was a traitor among the Twelve Guards spread like wildfire. In just two days, everyone in the streets and alleys of the capital knew that Shen Hou was a traitor.

Also spreading was the story of Mrs. Chu being wronged.

It turned out that Marshal Chu was not killed by Madam Chu, and the Chu family was not burned down by Madam Chu.

The real murderer is someone else.

As to whether the real murderer is Shen Hou alone or Shen Hou is just one of the murderers, it is unknown.

Zhaoming Palace.

The emperor placed a white piece on the chessboard and sighed, "Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan, you are putting me on the fire."

Lu Yuan gathered his wide sleeves, picked up a black piece from the chess pot with his slender jade-like fingertips, and placed it on the chessboard calmly and gracefully.

"What does the emperor mean by this? I don't understand."

The Emperor sighed and said, "Stop pretending to be stupid in front of me. Do you dare to say that you are not the one behind all the news outside? With your grandfather, the Miao King, backing you up, are you fearless?"

Lu Yuan already knew that his grandfather was the Miao King, but to God’s conscience, he made this decision first and only learned about his own life experience the next day.

But no one would believe him even if he said it.

The Emperor said, "I never thought you had such a good family background. But no matter how good your family background is, you can't drag my son to jail."

He found out clearly that the imprisonment that night was purely caused by the grandfather and grandson. His son was innocently implicated and became the first emperor of this dynasty to go to jail.

Lu Yuan withdrew his hand, knelt down, placed his hands on his thighs, and said respectfully: "I deserve to die."

The emperor glared at him and said, "It's not the first day I've known you. Where's the arrogance you showed when you imprisoned me?"

Lu Yuan sighed, "Didn't I almost die in your hands?"

The emperor shook his head in amusement: "You are so cunning."

Lu Yuan said nothing.

The emperor made another move and got back to the point: "You should have known it long ago. It was the prince who harmed the Chu family. I will not overturn the verdict. In addition to my selfish desire as a father, I also consider the stability of the country."

Lu Yuan also left a son: "Has the Grand Emperor ever thought about how the Crown Prince knew the life story of the King of Chu? And how did he plan so far?"

The Emperor said, "You are the Crown Prince's staff, tell me."

Lu Yuan said: "I don't know."

The emperor looked at Lu Yuan steadily. After a moment, he lowered his eyes and asked, "Do you really have to overturn Madam Chu's case?"

Lu Yuan met the emperor's scrutiny and said solemnly, "I hope there will be no more unjust cases in the world, and I hope there will be no more injustice in the world."

The emperor retracted his gaze: "I thought she was someone to you."

Lu Yuan said solemnly: "I implore the emperor to re-investigate this case."

The retired emperor had known Lu Yuan for many years. He had seen Lu Yuan being servile and fawning, and he had also seen Lu Yuan being smooth and versatile. But at that time, although he seemed to be humble, he was actually unruly in his bones.

No amount of bullying and oppression could break his proud character.

However, at this moment, the emperor felt the young man's plea.

There was no profound truth in the story, no weighing of the pros and cons with him, only his determination to go all out.

He really wants to overturn the verdict.

The emperor closed his eyes and said, "If Chu Nan were still alive, he would be about your age. The emperor and empress will be married in ten days. Your Jinwu Guards will escort the empress to the palace. As long as you can ensure that the wedding goes smoothly, I will allow you to re-investigate this case."
