The fallen demon

Lian Jue's teacher, Master Gao of the Hanlin Academy silently moved from one side to the middle, and boldly asked: "Your Majesty, no matter how you decide on this matter, it will be biased. I have a suggestion. I wonder if it is feasible?"

"Let's hear it." Lian Jue didn't feel excited, but waved his hand irritably and perfunctorily.

"I think that...although the world is big, twins are the only ones who have the same face. As long as someone can prove that Jing He's face is not easy to look, and prove that he is a man, the answer is ready to come."

Concubine Mu pushed back bluntly: "Master Gao is really ridiculous, the world is so big, is it strange that someone looks the same?"

Mr. Gao calmly said: "It's not strange to look the same, but it was very strange when Concubine Mu asked Jing and Princess to go to Qiongzhou to confine their feet and think about their mistakes. At that time, someone asked why they should go to Qiongzhou, but you rejected it with a single word Answer. Could it be that the concubine wants the princess to do something for you? And it has something to do with the corruption case four years ago?"

It seems that Mr. Gao has a long-standing prejudice against Concubine Mu. Some people remember what happened four years ago.Luo Yin saw the opportunity and interjected a few words: "Master Gao, don't wrong the empress dowager without real evidence."

Mr. Gao smiled, and bowed his hands in a friendly way, seeming to have heard the irony in his words.

Concubine Mu said coldly: "It is said in the world that a human heart is like a sword, which can slay demons and do all kinds of evil; words are like medicine, which can bring the dead back to life and never recover. It can be seen that Mr. Gao has already made up his mind about what to say and what to do. Whether there is evidence or not is not important to irrelevant people."

"Your Majesty, don't be so conceited! Over the years, Concubine Yin's wronged soul should accompany you in your dreams every day!"

"Nonsense! Mr. Gao, are you crazy!"

"The old minister is getting old! You can still tell right from wrong! Today is the day when God will open his eyes and make sure to reveal the truth of what happened back then!" Mr. Gao was so excited that he pointed his fingers to the sky and his lips trembled slightly.

Lian Jue was furious: "Shut up!!" He overturned several cases in a bang, and was extremely irritable and annoyed by the two people's quarrel.

Master Gao knelt down knowingly and stopped talking to Concubine Mu, but his goal had already been achieved.Concubine Mu trembled with hatred, but she had nothing to do with him.

After a while, faster than expected, Qiongqi's huge wings drew a circle over the Star Pavilion as if covering the sky and fell to the open space, with the disheveled and unkempt clothes on his paws.

Du Jue was terrified, as soon as Qiongqi let go of his claws, he scrambled towards the direction of Mo Xian, just passed Luo Yin, and suddenly his limbs fell on the ground.

Luo Yin warned him: "The emperor must not be presumptuous here!"

He nodded tremblingly, and said again and again: "Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"

"Okay, stop pretending." Luo Yin kicked him secretly again, and he really stopped pretending to be crazy.

Lian Jue coughed lightly, and asked, "Du Jue, I summoned you to inquire about something."

"Caomin must know everything!" Put an end to the loud promise, he thought he had won Long En again?Luo Yin secretly sneered.

"If you can say it, you have to do it." It can be seen that Lian Jue is very satisfied to put an end to the state of being kept in the dark.

Concubine Mu raised her neck, inadvertently met Luo Yin's cautious gaze, glanced quickly and then looked at Jing An, then silently lowered her head.

"Stop it," Lian Jue asked, "I ask you, is the prophecy you left on Mu Taifei before you left the palace true? Or was it intentional?"

"Of course it's true!" Du Jue bowed extremely sincerely, falling into Lian Jue's first trap.Not only Luo Yin smiled faintly, almost everyone in the audience did not show meaningful smiles.

"Okay! I believe what you said is true! Then tell me in detail, what happened to the prince back then?" Lian Jue narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Du Jue frowned, suddenly feeling bad, but he was so ambitious that he didn't think deeply, but directly denied: "This, how could this grassroots know?!" He continued to step into Lian Jue's prophecy trap.

"Just now you said you knew everything, but now you don't know? Do you think I'm a one-year-old baby who can't remember?" Lian Jue asked forcefully, "The prince dies at birth, but you lose the ability after a month. Could it be that the late emperor never asked you for divination? As the late emperor's confidant minister, would he not let you find the murderer who killed Jing An? Or...you were the one who killed Jing An!"

"No, no..." Du Jue hurriedly shook his head, dripping with cold sweat, lying on the ground, "Your Majesty, that's really not the case. The grassroots owe the late emperor's love and grace to the late emperor. The grasslanders know this but they can't say it! Before leaving the palace with grace, the former emperor repeatedly told the grass people not to speak out until death! The grass people also swore a poisonous oath in the name of the witch sacrifice, so you can't say it, you can't say it!"

The trap is deep and unattainable.

Luo Yin cupped his fists to the emperor and saluted: "Your Majesty, if you can't say it, can you write it? Since the former emperor left this loophole, he must have wanted to reveal the truth to the public."

Lian Jue smiled and nodded in agreement, but Du Jue was in a trance, looking at the pens, inks, papers and inkstones put up one by one, at a loss what to do.

"Okay, put an end to it, and write it quickly. Today, I want to clarify what happened back then. I don't know how many years it has been going around. It's still a knot in the palace. If it wasn't for this time, I might not be me..."

Lian Jue felt emotional from the bottom of her heart, and several ministers were frightened to say that the emperor was destined by heaven and no one could replace him.Several other ministers began to urge Eli to write it down quickly.

Putting aside his extreme nervousness, he gave Luo Yin an inexplicable look.The two were very close, and Luo Yin half-kneeled and half-sat beside him, smiling frankly: "Say what you want."

"Will I... die?" He held his chest in pain.

Luo Yin looked at Yuan Fengtian, and said what the elder Ge said before: "Today, there is no bloody disaster here, but there are stars that are about to fall, and there is no danger to life."

Du Jue breathed a sigh of relief, began to pick up the writing brushes on the table, lightly tapped the inkstone that had been ground with ink, slowly raised his arms, and lowered them heavily.

Everyone in the observatory holds their breath and concentrates, and they can't touch half a cup of tea. They don't finish writing, so they roll up the rice paper and hand it to the attendant on the side.The attendant handed it over to the emperor, and the emperor spread out the paper in satisfaction. Suddenly, the smile froze on his face, and he glanced at Jing An and then at Tie Zhengrong with an extremely strange expression.

In the end, Lian Jue held the rice paper back and threw it on Tie Zhengrong: "Tell me, put an end to whether what is written is true or not. If there is even half a lie, the Tie family will punish the nine clans!"

Tie Zhengrong hurriedly knelt down, put down the heavy and hot saber, rolled up the paper, and his face changed drastically, but he still tried to explain it by chance: "This matter was done by the minister alone, and it has absolutely nothing to do with Concubine Mu. Relationship. Put an end to the ability to lose the witch sacrifice at that time, and everything he perceives may not be accurate."

Someone sneered unexpectedly, and it turned out to be Yuan Fengtian who had been silent for a long time. He said: "According to General Tie's remarks, the old minister also read it wrong today? Why don't you let Mr. Luo verify it again? The black-eyed strange beast is better than the black-eyed beast no matter how you look at it." I have a lot of ability. And according to my guess, Mr. Luo didn't use [-]% of his strength, he was completely letting the old minister!"

The ridicule, sarcasm, and ridicule were all thrown at Tie Zhengrong, which made him dumbfounded, and any sophistry would be pale and ridiculous.

So far, it has come very close to the truth.Lian Jue said the last words: "Aunt Huang, it's your turn." He vaguely noticed that some old officials were very taboo about discussing the secret history of the royal family and had the intention of leaving. Lian Jue said again: "Although... this is my family matter, but According to Mr. Gao just now, it seems to be involved in the Qiongzhou corruption case four years ago. This case was the last one decided by the late emperor. It is said that there are many doubts, but it was forced by the Criminal Ministry not to continue to investigate. I really want to see What's the truth about this. Mr. Qin from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I allow you to sort out the files first, if you dare to resist the order... let's see you after resigning from the official position!"

Mr. Qin, a veteran of the two dynasties, didn't protest at all, and just knelt and retreated. This man is the best of men, he knows who does what, and he knows how to protect himself wisely.

Concubine Mu's half-smile was not a smile, her blood-sufficient face turned paler, her fate today must have exceeded all her expectations.Although the emperor will never let her die, from now on, life will be worse than death.

She let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly: "Yes, when the prophecy came out and I found out that I had really given birth to a baby boy, I was afraid that the late emperor would kill Jing An, so I asked General Tie to buy a baby boy from the people that night. Instead of Jing An, it turned out as expected... The emperor ordered someone to take the baby boy away, and I never saw him again. And... And that night, another person helped me take Jing An out of the palace and hide him in Qiongzhou... "

"Prince Qi..." Luo Yin interrupted.

She stared over suddenly: "How do you know?!"

He said: "Prince Qi was bestowed by the emperor in his early years, and he gave him a palace in Qiongzhi Mountain in Qiongzhou. He has a younger sister named Lian Jun. When Prince Qi was exterminated for corruption four years ago, she escaped from the palace of Qi Palace and died again. Going back and hiding in Qiongzhou, I opened a silk show shop and a horse farm, using this as a cover to collect intelligence and train killers, so that one day I can avenge my brother..."

"she……"

"However," he interrupted her, chuckling, "These are just my guesses, but there are two people who can confirm it."

Lian Jue and Concubine Mu said in unison: "Who?" The former was curious, while the latter was nervous.

Luo Yin thought that it was inappropriate for him to say the next sentence, it would be better to let someone say it, then their purpose of coming to Jincheng after so much hard work would have a real opportunity.He was about to secretly signal Mo Xian to speak, but Mo Xian knew how to seize the opportunity, and under the eyes of everyone, he pushed aside Jing An who was blocking the way, walked out of the table and knelt down.

Jing An wryly smiled helplessly, but there was an unknowing pampering in his smile.If this was his acting, it would be too real.

Mo Xian was still arrogant and self-reliant, and said: "Go back to the emperor, the minister and the minister's younger brother can testify."

"Your brother..." Before Lian Jue could finish asking, Tie Zhengrong hurriedly told him: "I report to the emperor! The fugitives that I have recently ordered to go to Qiongzhou to arrest are their brothers and sisters from the Mo family! They should be beheaded and not face saints!"

"What a coincidence? Then bring them here for questioning." Lian Jue turned a deaf ear to the second part of Tie Zhengrong's words.

"Your Majesty, they are capital crimes! If they see this, it will damage the Emperor's fate!"

Ah……

Yuan Fengtian sneered again just right, and Lian Jue also caught this point just right, and asked Tie Zhengrong: "Would it hurt my fate if I let Mr. Yuange talk about it?"

Tie Zhengrong's face was livid and he didn't speak.Yuan Fengtian obeyed and replied: "It's all long-standing lies."

"Where is Mr. Luo?"

Luo Yin didn't expect that Lian Jue would ask him, so she straightened her body unexpectedly, and answered from a different angle: "Your majesty, the ninety-five-year-old emperor, if you can't even restrain a dying person, how can we talk about great harmony in the world?"

Tie Zhengrong was extremely angry, but Concubine Mu was not showing her anger or anger, but she was still clutching the hem of her skirt.With a big wave of his hand, Lian Jue ordered people to bring the two of the Mo family.Tie Zhengrong took the initiative to invite Ying, but was rejected, which made him feel even more embarrassing.
