What was the most dazzling thing in the world? Was it the sun? No, it was tens of thousands of direct, doubtful, and resentful gazes! Those gazes were sharper than the sharpest sword, and more terrifying than the most powerful Sky Shaking Thunder.
Exposed to that kind of gaze, Xiao Yun Yan's entire body trembled. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead like a broken string, causing him to fiercely take three steps back and hit the wall behind him.
It was over! It was over!
His lifetime of glory and splendor, as well as his bright future, were all going to be ruined today!
Someone come, someone come quickly, immediately kill this slut Ning Shu!
On the high platform, His Majesty was livid.
The chief eunuch beside His Majesty immediately trotted to Ning Shu and warned her in a low voice, "Ning Shu, do you know what you are talking about? This was in front of three hundred thousand people! Do you want His Majesty to lose face? Ning Shu, let me give you a piece of advice: If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful of your head! "
Ning Shu turned around and showed him a fearless smile. Of course, she knew!
Not only did she know, but she also knew everything.
What did the royal family value the most? Reason? Justice? What a joke!
Only His Majesty, the most supreme face of the royal family!
As for the lives of hundreds of girls, it was nothing compared to that! In order to protect the royal family's dignity, His Majesty would definitely turn the matter into a small one and cover it up. Xiao Yunyan might not even be punished.
Therefore, she had chosen this moment to spread the news in front of 300,000 people. She wanted to spread the news by word of mouth in the shortest amount of time. Then, she wanted to spread the news throughout the entire capital and the entire Great Yue! So that there was no possibility of covering it up!
Xiao Yunyan immediately knelt on the ground and crawled to His Majesty. He swore and begged, "Father, this was not done by Erchen. It was Ning Shu. She couldn't solve the case in the stipulated time, so she framed me! Father, please believe Erchen! Your son has always been loyal to you and the imperial court. I have never been disloyal! "
The Emperor lowered his head to look at his eldest son who was kneeling at his feet and crying bitterly. He could not help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.
Out of all his sons, this was the only one who respected him the most and was almost obedient to him. He still remembered that when this child was seven years old, he had waited in the snow outside Taiji Palace for six whole hours, almost freezing himself into a little snowman, just to wait for him to leave court.
At that time, the child was so cold that he was shivering, but he still happily handed over the things in his arms to his father. "Father Emperor, this is your son's favorite, Phoenix Tail Bamboo Fungus Soup. Your son thought that you must be tired from going to court and must be hungry and cold, so I specially filled a cup for you. Father, don't worry. Erchen has been carefully protecting it in his arms. It's still warm now. Father, please taste it quickly. "
Seeing the reluctance in the Emperor's eyes, Xiao Yunyan's heart immediately exploded with unbridled joy.
So what if Imperial Father suspects him? He was the eldest son of the Emperor! He was the eldest son of the Imperial Family! If he was convicted in front of the people today, the prestige of the Imperial Family would be greatly reduced. Imperial Father would never allow this to happen!
What was more, the farm had been completely burned by him. Except for Jin Er, the so-called witness, Ning Shu had no other evidence. She wanted to trip him up? In her dreams!
Xiao Yunyan had worked hard for 20 years and only climbed half of the Stairway to Heaven. He would never allow a woman to easily destroy his efforts! Since the fire that night did not burn her to death, he would watch with his own eyes how her whole family would be executed and die miserably!
He hid the twisted sneer in his eyes, raised his head and said with righteous indignation, "Father, there's one thing that Erchen did not dare to report to you before. But today, I have to tell you. Not long ago, I was ordered by you to patrol the border. There, I caught a spy and found a letter from the spy. In the letter, there was a detailed map of the border of Great Yue. Erchen was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. But the more terrible thing happened later. Erchen found that the spy was from Duke Ning, and the handwriting on the letter was exactly the same as Duke Ning's! These days, Erchen has been working hard to investigate this thoroughly. I didn't expect that before I finished the investigation, I would encounter such a thing today … "
Xiao Yunyan's face showed a very bitter expression. He kowtowed hard, "It doesn't matter that Erchen was wronged to death. But today, they dared to frame me in front of 300,000 people. Tomorrow, they will definitely collude with the enemy to harm our country! Erchen begs Imperial Father to behead Duke Ning and Ning Shu in public. Otherwise, the hundred years of Great Yue's foundation will be destroyed! "
