"I just asked Zhen Chenggong, and he said that he was imprisoned at that time. After he came out, Cao Da told him not to think too much. He had doubts about this matter, but at that time he was anxious to return to Beijing to have a round with us. He He opened one eye and closed one eye."

Lin Heng folded his hands and stood in front of Cheng Muqing. After speaking, his eyes turned to her face.

"Unexpectedly, he actually..."

Cheng Muqing sighed.

"People are ulterior, he pretends well." Lin Heng sat down beside her, "Qingqing, then he..."

"What do you think?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"I think, since he helped Li Lanyi frame Zhao Duofu in the court, he should also have more or less relationship with Qi Guo. Maybe we can use him to follow the clues?"

"Hmm..." Cheng Muqing nodded.

"What are you thinking?" Lin Hengjian couldn't help but ask because her thoughts were unsteady.

"I don't seem to have told you. Actually... I had a dream a long time ago." Cheng Muqing confessed, "I dreamed that a man in a scarlet robe killed you...every time he stabbed you , Wounds would also appear on my body. In the end, we were tortured to death by him. His mouth... kept talking about Qiguo..."

"It's not just a dream, is it?"

"Yeah." Cheng Muqing nodded, "After waking up, I found out that we really have the same life bond."

The study was silent.

Lin Heng reached out and took her hand, "So, you think the dream is real? That scarlet-robed official will kill you and me?"

"No, he can't kill him. The relationship between you and me in the dream was not close, but now you and I are each other's true love." Cheng Muqing held him instead, with soft eyes, "And now we don't have that bond. In the dream Things have changed. This means that I have changed what may happen in the future, so our ending will definitely be different."

"Yeah." Lin Heng nodded.

"But I think what happened in the dream may have been a warning to me at that time." Cheng Muqing looked away, looking at the blue sky outside the house, "So that official in the scarlet robe has always been in my heart disease. I have always wanted to know who he is, so that I can get rid of him in advance. After you ascended the throne, I investigated all the first-rank officials, but I couldn’t find a suspect. I even suspected Li Lanyi, but he was not official……"

"Now, I finally know who that person is." Cheng Muqing's complex gaze was firm, "It's Cao Da, so everything can make sense. When Liang Shangshu died, only Cao Da was by his side. Later, he was the only one who followed in Bashu disaster relief... His appearance is indeed harmless to humans and animals."

Before Liang Shangshu died, there was only one Cao Da by his side.They were all deceived by the maid at the beginning, and they didn't investigate the root cause.

"Forget it, this matter is over, we are already in the trap." Cheng Muqing stood up, "What we are thinking about now is how to tear up the trap."

"I am fledgling now, but I can assure you." Lin Heng's eyes were firm, "I will find a way to seize the initiative."

"What can you do?" Cheng Muqing smiled.

Just as he was talking, a eunuch came in a hurry. He saluted the two of them and said, "Your Majesty, there is a woman kneeling in front of the imperial city to cry for grievances."

The two looked at each other.

"I think this can be an opportunity." Lin Heng said in a low voice.

"Go." Cheng Muqing raised his chin.

Lin Heng got up, turned around and left with the eunuch.

After leaving the upper study room, Lin Heng got on the chariot and walked through the long road to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Both sides of the Hall of Supreme Harmony were full of courtiers.

Because of the matter of Yuan's family, Lin Heng summoned all the courtiers together.

He walked to the top golden platform and sat down, looking down at the courtiers.

The courtiers first made a pilgrimage, then retreated to the two sides, leaving an empty space in the middle.

Yuan Zhenzhu stood in the middle of the hall, her face was already flushed red.From the moment she stepped into the palace, she became nervous.Now that I have arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, looking at the young man sitting on the stage, I feel less nervous and more excited.

"Your Majesty!" Yuan Zhenzhu opened her mouth.

"Miss Yuan." Li Lanyi, who was standing beside Lin Heng, spoke first, "What is wrong with you, must you avenge it at the gate of the imperial city?"

Meeting Li Lanyi's eyes, Yuan Zhenzhu's mood became calmer.

"My daughter, Yuan Shi, pay my respects to Your Majesty." Yuan Zhenzhu knelt down and kowtowed heavily, "The little girl is Yuan Zhenzhu, the daughter of Lord Yuan Guo. The daughter of the people wants to avenge justice for her father and brother!"

Lin Heng sat up straight and motioned for her to continue talking.

"The Yuan family never had the slightest thought of rebellion. Everything was done by the former crown prince and Liang Shangshu of the Ministry of War, General Zhao Duofu of Huaihua, Minister of Rites... and others. The former prime minister of Dali Temple tricked me, He often gave me valuables, and I placed them at home, and later they were regarded as greedy items by the Yuan family. The father of Minnv was even invited by the former Crown Prince to meet the late emperor, but in the palace, he was arrested by the Golden Eagle Guard Thousands of arrows pierced the heart! That night, we were even charged with treason. And our Yuan family was also ransacked by the former crown prince. No one, men, women or children, could escape."

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, as if yesterday's bloody storm was right in front of her eyes.

She still remembered that her mother told her to take her nephew to leave, but as soon as she walked out of the main courtyard, she saw the guards at home being massacred by the former prince.Seeing her, the first prince just raised his hand, and the guards on both sides swarmed up, almost tearing her apart.

She ran away desperately, but was finally caught by Dali Sicheng.

Over the years, she had been with Dali Sicheng, and her spirit almost collapsed.In the blink of an eye, it has been so many years.

She thought that the truth would never come, but she didn't expect...

"Miss Yuan, what evidence do you have to prove this?" Some courtiers questioned.

Yuan Zhenzhu was not in a hurry to answer his question, but took out a small notebook from her pocket and offered it with both hands.

"Your Majesty, this is all the criminal evidence recorded by the former Chancellor of Dali Temple."

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on the booklet.

"The Prime Minister of Dali Temple used me in order to become a petty official. But he has done too many wrong things, so he was always worried that the official position he had obtained would be dethroned one day... So he took me in I have written down these evidences by my side, so that one day, whoever threatens his life can use this thing to exchange for a chance of survival."

"But he still made a mistake. He shouldn't have bought you, Your Majesty. If he behaved badly to the prince, even if he survived, he would not be able to keep his official position. I guess he must have wanted to find His Royal Highness the former crown prince..." Yuan Zhenzhu's face flashed A trace of sarcasm, "Unfortunately, he died in the end. But fortunately he died, so I can take this booklet and escape the cage he set for me."

A eunuch took the booklet from her hand, walked up the steps and presented it to Lin Heng.
