Chapter 322
After the prince's words, some people in the court immediately echoed, accusing Huo Xun of disregarding the lives of the people for the sake of military merits, he is really selfish and indifferent, which is outrageous.

People from both sides argued endlessly, but there were still many people who did not believe that Huo Xun would do such a thing. Seeing this, Duke Huai's eyes flashed a light.Suddenly talking about Huo Xun's great military exploits, trying to get the emperor to give Huo Xun a light sentence.

"If there is one, there must be two, and if there is two, there must be three. General Huo is so familiar with colluding with the Xiluo people this time, it is impossible to say that his military achievements in the past also relied on such means. Otherwise, there are so many soldiers in the court, why is it only Huo Xun who wins every battle? There must be something here." Tricky!"

As soon as Lord Wang of the crown prince's family heard what Duke Huai said, he immediately stood up.

After his voice fell, the hall suddenly fell into silence, and after a while, the discussion became louder and louder, and no one believed that Huo Xun still had any innocence.

"The two cities of Shaoguang and Anding have tens of thousands of people, and you, Huo Xun, ignore these tens of thousands of lives because of your military exploits. It is really a waste of my trust in you! I am an official of the Great Jin Dynasty. There can never be such a cold-blooded person in here!"

There seemed to be a picture of Xiluo people encroaching on the people of Jin Dynasty. The emperor was ashamed. He took a deep breath, suddenly raised his head and shot a pair of sharp eyes at Huo Xun.

"Come here! Immediately put Huo Xun into the prison, and ask to be executed after the autumn!"

Above the main hall, the sonorous and powerful voice of the emperor echoed.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but they also had various opinions in their hearts.

"Qiuhou asks to be cut?"

Hearing Li Yun's reply, Xiao Ruan suddenly stood up from the seat with disbelief on his face.

"This is absolutely impossible! The general was murdered by others, how could the emperor come to a conclusion so easily?"

Muttering to himself, Xiao Ruan anxiously walked around the room, her heart pounding even more.

The testimony of those people seemed indisputable, but if someone wanted to deliberately frame Huo Xun, all the handwriting and seals on the physical evidence could be forged.

But if the emperor believes these evidences, Huo Xun will naturally have no way out, the current plan...

"Where is Li Yan now? Have you got in touch with him?"

Xiao Ruan walked back and forth in the room many times, then suddenly stopped and looked directly at Li Yun.

However, Li Yun shook his head at her: "Brother is also locked up in the big prison now. The sky prison is heavily guarded, and there is really no way for slaves to sneak in."

"What about the general's other subordinates?"

Without waiting for Xiao Ruan to explain, Li Yun had already guessed what she meant, lowered his head and said softly: "All the general's cronies and subordinates are all imprisoned, and none of the slaves have any news about them."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruan's footsteps stopped, and her two beautiful eyebrows immediately twisted together.

She can understand that Huo Xun colluded with foreign enemies and was imprisoned in the sky prison, but all his subordinates were also imprisoned in the sky prison, which has to be doubted.

Could it be that the emperor wanted to implement the punishment of sitting in the army without success?

Xiao Ruan faintly felt that something was wrong, but couldn't tell why.She sat back in her chair and thought for a long time, then suddenly raised her head: "You prepare the carriage immediately, we will go to the Prince's Mansion!"

The person who investigated Huo Xun's case this time was the prince, Xiao Ruan felt that it was very necessary for him to meet the prince, maybe he would find out something from him...

On the other side, in Duke Huai's mansion.

After Zhao Yan told Huo Yuan about the matter in the hall in detail, he held his chin and laughed.

"I really didn't expect that Gomuda would be so cooperative. The moment the emperor saw him, he believed that Huo Xun was really connected with the Xiluo people. You tell me where you got this Gomuda. people?"

Gemuda was indeed a confidant in front of the leader of Xiluo, but he kept resisting after being caught by Huo Xun, and was brought back as a prisoner by Huo Xun.

Zhao Yan really couldn't figure out how Gemuda would be willing to give false testimony.

Huo Yuan's eyes flickered with pride, he picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip before saying: "Everyone has weaknesses, and Gemuda is going to die anyway, and the minister is just fulfilling a wish for him. Of course he Just obey me."

After finishing speaking, he talked about the process of persuading Gemuda in detail.

It turns out that Gemuda has always been Xi Luo's most famous warrior. After Huo Xun captured him, he has always held a grudge.Knowing that Huo Yuan was able to kill Huo Xun for him, he was naturally willing to do things for Huo Yuan.

When Zhao Yan heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

At the beginning when he handed over this matter to Huo Yuan, he still had doubts about his ability, but now it seems that this person is not only gloomy, but also has some real skills.

But his face has already been imprinted by himself, and this shame will always follow him throughout his life...

"This king really didn't misunderstand the person. Don't worry, after this king succeeds, he will never treat you badly."

Staring at Huo Yuan's mask for a moment, Zhao Yan suddenly burst into a smile, and filled the wine glass for Huo Yuan himself.

"Your Highness is very polite. It is Huo Yuan's honor to be able to serve His Highness."

Huo Yuan didn't seem to notice Huo Yuan's abnormality, so he drank it all at once, and finally frowned and continued: "Now that the emperor has convicted Huo Xun, his cronies will probably leave soon. Released from the prison, the prince should still plan as soon as possible."

When you mentioned this, the smile on Zhao Yan's face grew stronger: "You don't have to worry about this matter, this king has already made arrangements, and in less than half a month, the main positions in the army will be filled with this king's people."

"Then Huo Yuan will congratulate the prince in advance today!"

Huo Yuan raised his wine glass, the two looked at each other, and immediately let out a series of smug laughter...

"Where is the prince? I want to see the prince."

In the prince's mansion, as soon as Xiao Ruan saw Lu Heng, she asked her to find the prince.

"Ruan Ruan, it's not because I don't let you see the prince, but because he is so busy that he doesn't even see me. It's the same if you have something to say to me."

Lu Heng invited Xiao Ruan to sit down on the chair, seeing that she still insisted on seeing the prince, he had a look of helplessness on his face, and could only say: "I know you came to the prince to ask about Huo Xun, but you and him You have already reconciled, why bother with this matter? He is thrown into the sky prison now, he deserves what he deserves, you should be happy!"

Being guessed by Lu Heng, Xiao Ruan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, "Does my cousin also believe that Huo Xun really did collaborating with the enemy?"

"I...even if I don't believe it, so what? The prince personally investigated this matter, so could he still be wronged?"

Facing Xiao Ruan's dark eyes, Lu Heng couldn't help sighing again: "I really didn't expect Brother Huo to become like this now. He just bullied you, but he dared to collude with foreign enemies? Grandpa wants to Got mad at him."

Lu Heng and Huo Xun have known each other since they were young, and because of Mrs. Lu, even though he was worried about his reconciliation with Xiao Ruan, he never thought that Huo Xun would be such an unscrupulous person.

Xiao Ruan listened to Lu Heng's words, especially when Lu Heng mentioned Mrs. Lu, she felt very uncomfortable.

Originally, Huo Xun and Xiao Ruan reconciled and left to join Prince Huai, and had no contact with the Lu family.

But after Huo Xun's accident, the Dingguohou's Mansion was confiscated by the emperor, and the excited people had no place to vent their anger. I don't know who started it, but all the spearheads were aimed at Mr. Lu.

Huo Xun reconciled with Xiao Ruan at the beginning, and had no contact with the Lu family, but now because he is a student of Taifu Lu, Taifu Lu was pointed at his spine and scolded at his age, which is really a disaster for no reason.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ruan suppressed the guilt in her heart, and looked at Lu Heng again: "Cousin, since you didn't expect Huo Xun to do such a thing, don't you think it's suspicious? Maybe he really It's about being wronged..."

"Ruan Ruan, why are you still speaking for that Huo Xun? Do you insist on meeting the prince because you suspect that the prince has framed him?"

Lu Heng seemed to understand something, and suddenly interrupted Xiao Ruan's words, with disappointment in his eyes: "Ruan Ruan, Huo Xun is sorry for you, you don't have to worry about it. But now he is doing it for the sake of military exploits, ignoring tens of thousands of people. His life! Have you ever thought about whether those who lost their loved ones who were killed by him will forgive him?"

"I……"

After being robbed by Lu Heng, Xiao Ruan couldn't say what she said next, she was silent to Lu Heng for a long time, and finally chose to leave.

"Ma'am, the prince doesn't want to see us, he must have already guessed your intention to come here, but what should we do now, can we just watch the general be executed after autumn?"

After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Li Yun immediately showed a worried expression.

The streets are still bustling with people, with all kinds of cries and voices coming and going.

Xiao Ruan raised her head and looked at the dazzling sun in the sky, but her heart felt cold.

Huo Xun's behavior was abnormal before, and the crown prince deliberately asked Lu Heng to pretend to be sick to be released from house arrest by the emperor before they got married. Something big was going to happen to her, but she never thought that the last person who had the accident was Huo Xun.

According to Li Yun, Huo Xun and his cronies and subordinates were all imprisoned in the sky prison. In this way, even if he is cleared of collaborating with the enemy, his reputation and prestige in the army will definitely not be as good as before.

Perhaps this is what the person who framed Huo Xun behind the scenes wanted, but who is this person?
Xiao Ruan stood on the street with a pensive expression on her face, when she suddenly saw a seven or eight year old boy rushing towards her, and forgot to dodge for a moment, and it was too late when Li Yun found out.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! My child accidentally bumped into Madam, please forgive me!"

Li Yun was worried that the little boy would bump into Xiao Ruan's stomach, and was about to step forward to grab the boy, but the little boy's mother hurried over, protected him behind her, and apologized repeatedly to Xiao Ruan.

The little boy hid behind the woman, watching Xiao Ruan timidly with two eyes, not daring to show his head.

Xiao Ruan shook a note that suddenly appeared in his hand, and shook his head at Chong Liyun: "I'm fine, let them go."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Yun to respond, Xiao Ruan took a step and walked directly towards the carriage.

"lady!"

Li Yun followed closely, and when he got into the carriage, he found that Xiao Ruan was holding a note and was silent.
