The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 128

Suddenly, the peaceful dinner came to a standstill. Everyone looked at Qin Mu, including Song Chen, who was kneeling in the center of the hall.

Song Chen was obviously very surprised, and asked, "What does Marquis Anxi mean by that?"

Seeing that he was still not angry, Qin Mu quickly said, "Your Majesty, in the case of the conspiracy of Yue Lan, the righteous brother of the former minister, the Ministry of War used his correspondence with Xiongrong as evidence to convict him of treason, but the minister A few days ago, I was shocked to hear a shocking inside story. It turns out that in those letters, the handwriting of my righteous brother was all forged. There was a country magician who was instructed by someone more than ten years ago to forge the letter written by Yue Lan to the royal family of Xiong Rong. Then, But he was murdered again. Your Majesty, it is clear that someone deliberately framed this incident, and his loyal bones have been wronged for many years. Please Qingtian give him justice!"

"absurd!"

Just as Qin Mu finished speaking, Xu Jilin, who had just refuted Chi Yu, spoke again. With a gloomy face, he questioned: "Marquis Anxi is too confusing. If the handwriting in the letter is really forged, the dignified Ministry of War How can it be impossible to tell? Also, if you say that Yue Lan’s handwriting is fake, is it true that the golden seal of Khan Xiong Rong is also forged? May I ask, in my territory of Daqi, who can forge the golden seal of Xiong Rong? The evidence has been reviewed by the late emperor himself, could it be that the late emperor could not tell the authenticity of the gold seal?"

He really shifted the focus to Xiongrong Jinyin and the first emperor.

And Qin Mu didn't give in, and continued: "Your Majesty, since someone has painstakingly framed him, he must have been fully prepared. I dare not deceive you. Although the sorcerer who forged the handwriting that Caichen mentioned just now was silenced, his other The family members escaped by chance, and there are still copies of those forged letters in their hands. Your Majesty only needs to find out the archive files of the old case and compare them with those letters to know that the minister is not lying."

As soon as these words came out, even Xu Jilin was stunned.He didn't expect that the sorcerer would save the copy without cutting the weeds in the past!You must know that since it is a secret letter, no one else should know about it except the officials handling the case and the correspondents. If the warlock's family really produced the exact copy of the letter, it would be impossible to tell.

However, before he recovered from this incident, he heard Chi Yu'er, who had been intercepted by him earlier, utter a voice, Chi Yu said: "It is your internal affairs, I shouldn't talk too much, but this Marquis When I mentioned the Xiongrong Golden Seal, I remembered something. When I was trapped in the capital of Xiongrong in the past, I heard that more than ten years ago, someone in your country did secretly communicate with Xiongrong, but that person did not seem to be that person. General Yue, known as the 'God of War'!"

Song Chen's attitude was unclear, and Chi Yu didn't dare to tell the whole story, so he could only stop and see what Song Chen meant.

Those who didn't know were naturally surprised. At this time, all the people in the palace who wanted to reverse the case for the Yue family were waiting for the king's reaction. Chu Xue turned to look at Song Chen, only to see Song Chen's face slowly sinking.

That's right, whoever it is would be unhappy if something went wrong when he was the host, what's more, this is a major political event, and it is also related to his father's honor.

But regardless of the king, Xu Jilin was shocked when he saw Chi Yu say this.

When he did these things at the beginning, he didn't know whether Chi Yu would know about it, and he didn't expect that Chi Yu would come to Daqi one day and mention it to the new generation of monarchs.He wasn't sure if Chiyu really knew about it, but from what he said, it seemed that he really knew something...

Moreover, Qin Mu would not bring up past events on such occasions for no reason. Today's change may have been planned by them long ago.

Song Chen didn't say anything, everything is still possible, Xu Jilin hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness is joking, this matter is a big case for me, Daqi, and the personnel who handled the case were serious and meticulous, it is impossible for such a mistake to happen, let alone me Emperor Jianhe was a wise monarch, so how could there be any mistakes in the case he personally reviewed?"

Bringing up the late emperor again, Xu Jilin's meaning is very clear, to question the case is to question the late emperor, who has such courage?

But he has already opened the bow, so he can't turn back, Qin Mu has already started, Chu Lin can't wait any longer, he also got up and came to the hall, knelt down heavily, and said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I dare not question the late emperor. It's just that this case is really suspicious. If Yue Lan really committed the felony of treason in the past, he should have been interrogated by the three divisions first. If the evidence is convincing, he will be convicted and punished. The imperial court went to rectify the law on the spot without any warning, which really violated the legal procedures, and there was no process of interrogation, which is really unconvincing."

"This Marquis has already stated that Yue Lan disrespected the order and disrespected it. He stubbornly resisted and was punished on the spot. Even if it violated the procedure, but the evidence is convincing, why is it hard to believe? The grand master has been the censor of the capital for many years As for being entangled in this issue?" Xu Jilin immediately refuted Chu Lin, his voice paused, his eyes flashed darkly, and he questioned Chu Lin, "Or just because you are Yue Lan's brother-in-law, you have intentions in your heart." Are you so frank that you will deliberately ignore these facts?"

Chu Lin ignored his instigation, and continued to express to Song Chen, "I am Yue Lan's brother-in-law. This is an unchangeable fact. I dare not hide it. When something happened to the Yue family, my sister was still pregnant. My sister-in-law was not questioned, and my sister and the fetus in her womb were also killed by the knife. Not to mention that the Yue family had two underage children. I beg Your Majesty to retry the case."

After Chu Lin finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily to the king again.

He has been an official for decades, and he has always been upright. It is rare to see him in such a sad posture. In addition, the case was so strange that all the officials present couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.But it is not easy to retry such an old case. After all, it was done by the late emperor himself. In fact, no one knows that Yue Lan may have been wronged, but if the king wants him to die, he has to die.

Therefore, everyone just sighed in their hearts, but no one dared to stand up for reconsideration.

Although Yue Lan's former subordinate, the current Minister of the Ministry of War, Chai Jin, wanted to stand up, but due to prior arrangements, he had to hold back first, because once the case was retried, his Ministry of War would definitely participate in it, and his position was extremely important, so He must now maintain a neutral stance externally.

Chu Lin had already said this, Xu Jilin was speechless to refute for a while, the hall was quiet and silent, the two important ministers knelt down in the hall to beg for orders, the queen beside the king couldn't help biting her lips and trembling slightly.

After waiting for so many years, this day has finally come. The relatives are risking their lives to avenge her family. How can she remain indifferent?What's more, how could she bear to mention the old incident at Yingyue Villa just now, mentioning her father, mother, brother, and even the unborn child in her mother's womb?

The curling eyelashes were trembling slightly, and she didn't dare to blink, for fear that if she was not careful, the lake of tears there would burst the embankment, and she would lose her queenly demeanor, which made people see the clue.

However, her abnormality was finally noticed by the man around her. Perhaps because of the changes that happened tonight, Song Chen suppressed the gentleness on his face just now, and became stern again.Having been together for so many years, Chu Xue knew that he was angry. Although she was not sure about the source of the anger, she clearly saw that Song Chen cast his eyes on her, and there was something in his eyes, which was not as usual. There seemed to be doubts about the tenderness, her heart trembled, she was speechless, she could only lower her eyes.

The matter has come to this point, it is impossible for Song Chen not to speak again, all parties have explained the key reasons, no matter what decision he makes, it is something later, he is not unexpectedly angry now, just because there is a guest present, he is facing The old things in the book were actually brought back to the table.

He doesn't like to be forced, but the timing chosen by Qin and Chu tonight is very oppressive.

How is this banquet going on?
Song Chen suppressed his displeasure, and said in a deep voice to Chi Yu, "I'm going to make your envoy laugh, let's stop here for tonight."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the two people kneeling down, neither showing joy nor anger, "No matter what the past is, you shouldn't talk about it tonight. You two have been in the court for many years, so you should know the proper etiquette."

Qin and Chu looked at each other, and said in unison, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Song Chen glanced at Chu Xue next to him again, Xu was still concerned that Chu Lin was her father, so he didn't say anything to atone for the crime, but said coldly: "We'll discuss this matter another day!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored either party, got up and stepped out of the hall.

"Get off!"

After Liangxi sang loudly, Chu Xue looked at her father and Uncle Qin Mu who were still kneeling on the ground, and did not dare to stay any longer. She followed Song Chen and stepped out of Qingde Hall.

On the way back to Yufu Palace, he was silent all the time. Chu Xue had a lot to say to him, and wanted to ask him why he was angry, whether he was angry with his father and Uncle Qin Mu for spoiling the atmosphere tonight, or angry that they raised questions about old things again. The late emperor, even... like the late emperor, he believed that dad really deserved what he deserved...

But reason told her that she can't speak now, this man has his own decision, he doesn't like to be swayed and forced - although father and Uncle Qin Mu's revenge in front of all the officials and guests tonight does mean to force him, but It is really impossible, otherwise, where else can I find such an opportunity for a witness like Chi Yu to testify for my father in public?
She was speechless all the way, she had never been so uneasy about this man as she is now.

After a while, the two had returned to Yufu Palace.

He was still willing to come, which meant that he hadn't vented his anger on herself. Chu Xue comforted herself silently in her heart, thinking of various countermeasures.The matter has already begun, how can we let him make a decision as soon as possible?Because Xu Jilin was present tonight, even though his father and the others were sure to overturn the case, they couldn't stop Xu Jilin from doing anything else.

The night was deep, seeing that the king's face was not right, the palace people didn't dare to say anything, they laid out the mattresses and waited for the masters to bathe and change clothes, so they all withdrew. According to past experience, when the king is furious, only the queen can come close and say something talk.

But they didn't know that their queen was struggling right now.

What on earth is he thinking?Was he willing to believe what his father and the others said?
In the dead of night, the man who had already been better dressed was lying on the couch with his eyes closed. Chu Xue hesitated again and again, and finally spoke before going to bed. She forced her voice to calm down and asked him softly, "Your Majesty, are you angry? What happened tonight, in fact, the concubine's father and Anxihou have nothing to do..."

"Do you also think that they should do this? Should they put pressure on me on an occasion like tonight?" He suddenly opened his eyes, stared at her with a frown and asked.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a while before saying: "The occasion they chose is indeed inappropriate, and it shouldn't be in front of Guyu's envoys..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by him again. Song Chen sat up a little bit, with no expression on his face, and asked her in a deep voice: "Xue'er, tell me, Yue Lan, your uncle, is really Wronged?"

She was taken aback, she really didn't expect him to ask such a question, she wanted to say it was a matter of course, but she also wanted to find a suitable wording so that he could believe it.

This is too tormented, since she has the same heart with him, she never imagined that one day she would be so cautious, and even think twice about what she said to him, for fear that tonight's affairs would fall short and bring disaster to her family.

He stared straight at her, but she wanted to lower her eyes to avoid him. He raised her chin, forced her to look at him, and asked, "Is this question difficult to answer?"

The moment their eyes met, the embankment in her heart finally collapsed, she was silent for a moment, finally made up her mind, and said to him: "Your Majesty, this concubine wants to tell you a story..."
