After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 562: The vest is revealed
Gongsun Yanming did not move.

Lu Yuan said, "Master Gongsun, if you are still worried, there are so many grown men in the room, I can try them one by one! Who should I start with next?"

Duke Jiang rolled up his sleeves and said, "Come on, come on, stab me, stab me!"

Prince Ming pushed Prince Fu and said, "If it's not enough, there's still my fifth brother's."

Prince Fu: ...You are such a fool.

Emperor Liang's eyes were sharp and piercing, like a sword drawn from its sheath, pointing straight at Gongsun Yanming's brows.

Gongsun Yanming asked calmly, "As long as the Heart-Eating Gu has no reaction to my blood, can it prove my innocence?"

Meng Qianqian said: "Yes."

Gongsun Yanming stretched out his hand.

Meng Qianqian took out the silver needle: "I'm sorry, Pavilion Master."

Gongsun Yanming: "I'll do it myself."

"Oh."

Meng Qianqian took back the silver needle.

Gongsun Yanming drew a line with his fingertips, and a string of blood beads flew down and dripped onto the body of the Heart-Eating Gu.

Everyone stared at him, and there was no sign of panic in his eyes.

Prince Ming frowned secretly, pulled Lu Zhaoyan's sleeve, and whispered: "Second brother, something is wrong. He just gave in like that? Without struggling? Or is the evidence conclusive, and he just accepted his fate?"

Lu Zhaoyan said: "If he accepts his fate, he will not be Gongsun Yanming."

"Fifth brother, what do you say?"

King Ming pulled King Fu again.

Fortunately, he is the sixth child, otherwise, with his tendency to talk nonsense, he would have no younger brothers to spoil him.

Prince Fu thought for a moment and said, "I heard there is a medicine that can temporarily suppress the attraction of blood to Gu worms. I wonder if it is true or not."

Ming Wang was confused: "There is such a medicine? Doesn't that mean... that this old thief has escaped again?"

Duke Jiang stared at the Heart-Eating Gu in the brocade box with his eyes wide open: "What's going on... Why is there no reaction... Did I drop too little?"

Gongsun Yanming raised his eyes and met the Emperor Liang's sharp scrutiny with a frank expression: "Your Majesty, is this enough to prove my innocence?"

"Moved!"

Duke Jiang shouted excitedly.

Ming Wang quickly stretched his neck. The heart-eating insect was very weak and only moved slightly, but after smelling the scent of the blood beads, it greedily absorbed it.

There was a slight change in Gongsun Yanming's expression which had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Meng Qianqian wiped the blood off her fingertips without leaving a trace.

It doesn’t matter whether Gongsun Yanming made any moves in advance, her blood is a great tonic for the heart-eating insect anyway.

But it is not easy to hide the truth in front of Emperor Liang.

It was when Lu Yuan took the silver needle from her hand that he attracted Emperor Liang's attention, so she took action secretly.

Duke Jiang was so excited that he jumped up and pointed at Gongsun Yanming's nose and cursed: "Ha! Old thief Gongsun! You can't quibble now! It was your heart-eating poison! You poisoned His Majesty and tried to control His Majesty. This is simply unforgivable!"

Emperor Liang's murderous aura descended: "Gongsun Yanming!"

Gongsun Yanming said sternly: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Emperor Liang said coldly: "I want to see how you can justify yourself."

Gongsun Yanming said calmly, "Your Majesty, I have never been to Miaojiang and do not know how to poison people. However, I suddenly remembered one thing. On the day when the prince and my daughter got married, I encountered a Miaojiang master and was injured by him. I bled a lot. Although my martial arts skills are not comparable to your majesty's, I am afraid that the only Miaojiang person who can hurt me so badly is the Miao king."

Emperor Liang looked at him suspiciously: "Miao King?"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Prince Ming grabbed Prince Fu's sleeve tightly. No way, has the secret been exposed?
No, this old thief knew Mr. Liu's identity long ago, but he didn't say it earlier or later, but just revealed it at this moment -

Ming Wang quickly figured out the key. At this critical moment of life and death, there was no other way but to expose it.

I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well give it a try.

"Second brother! What should I do? Will the emperor believe him?"

Ming Wang asked in a low voice.

Lu Zhaoyan didn't say anything.

His eyes moved back and forth between the faces of Emperor Liang and Gongsun Yanming, not missing a single expression.

Gongsun Yanming continued, "I was not entirely sure at first, but today the poisoning incident occurred. I boldly infer that the Miao King took my blood and raised the Heart-Eating Gu, then poisoned Your Majesty and used the opportunity to frame me."

Emperor Liang stared into Gongsun Yanming's eyes without blinking: "Miao King...how did you put a curse on me?"

Gongsun Yanming looked at the Miao King and the people in the Prince's Mansion, "Your Majesty has long been surrounded by the Miao King's men. Your Majesty's favorite grandson is the Miao King's grandson, and this man who claims to be Master Liu has freely entered and exited the palace and the Prince of Jin's Mansion by relying on his status as the Prince's father-in-law. Your Majesty, forgive me for daring to ask, has Your Majesty ever fought with Master Liu?"

"Or, has Master Liu ever been close to His Majesty?"

The imperial study fell into deathly silence.

Not to mention getting close, the first person Emperor Liang saw when he opened his eyes was Master Liu. He felt weak all over, and it was Master Liu who brought him the dragon robe and put it on him.

Duke Jiang said to Gongsun Yanming, "Don't make up stories! How could Master Liu be the Miao King?"

Gongsun Yanming said solemnly: "I have evidence."

The Miao King stopped shaking his legs.

Duke Jiang is not stupid. Master Liu is his sworn brother, and he sees everything that Master Liu says and does.

He approached the Miao King and whispered, "You, you, you...you are not really the Miao King, are you?"

Gongsun Yan said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, please allow me to present a witness."

Meng Qianqian murmured, "Old fox, it turns out that there is a backup plan waiting here."

The relationship between Miaojiang and the two countries is as hostile as fire and water, and Emperor Liang and King Miao have an unreasonable personal grudge.

I had no choice but to lie about my identity in the first place, and I had planned to confess to Your Majesty after everything was settled. I never thought that Gongsun Yanming would expose it in the end.

Could it be that the witness that General Hu found from the Prime Minister's Mansion was just a decoy, deliberately to let them be caught so that they would think the crisis was over and relax their vigilance from then on?

The real witness had already been secretly brought into the imperial city by Gongsun Yanming.

I'm afraid that's the truth.

Meng Qianqian looked at Gongsun Yanming.

Gongsun Yanming felt her gaze and looked over at her as well.

The moment their eyes met.

Meng Qianqian understood everything.

Without even looking, one could tell that the person he had brought into the imperial city must be someone who could prove his identity as the Miao King, and definitely not just a small steward.

She had come this far with great difficulty.

It seemed that Gongsun Yanming's disguise was about to be torn off and he was about to be pulled down from the altar built on the corpses of all the Shang family members.

Finally... failed?

Gongsun Yanming clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Miao King Baiqi has ulterior motives. He sneaked into the imperial city this time to wait for an opportunity to cause chaos. I hope Your Majesty will be able to see clearly and not fall into the Miaojiang trap."

Emperor Liang said, "Why would I follow the path of Miaojiang?"

Gongsun Yanming was stunned.

Emperor Liang glanced at the Miao King and said to Gongsun Yanming: "The Liang Kingdom will form a Qin-Jin alliance with the Miao Border. He is my relative, so of course he is in the Imperial City."

Amnesiac Emperor Liang: What old grudge? What old grudge?
The double monthly ticket has started, and babies can clear their tickets.

I had a gastroscopy today. I slept all day after the anesthesia. The result was okay. Thank you all for your concern.
