Chu Xuanchen was a meritorious minister, so Hongyuan Emperor didn't ask people to lock him up. Instead, he gave him a lot of face and let him go to the prison by himself.
Immediately, the imperial guards surrounded Chu Xuanchen. "Prince, please."
Chu Xuanchen took a deep look at Yun Ruoyue, then strode forward.
Looking at his bleak back, Yun Ruoyue's face was filled with anxiety.
Prince Xian saw this and hurried over to comfort her. "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. I also believe that Imperial Brother will never kill Lan Wu. Don't worry, I will investigate this case with you. We must clear Imperial Brother's name! "
Yun Ruoyue nodded gratefully. "Thank you, Prince."
The Empress sneered. "Lan Wu died tragically in the hands of The Emperor of Li. This is an indisputable fact. Yun Ruoyue, don't try to cover up for The Emperor of Li. The Emperor of Li, as a Prince, knowingly broke the law, so he is guilty. I must make him pay for Lan Wu's life! "
Yun Ruoyue raised her eyes and said calmly, "Niangniang, I dare to guarantee with my life that Xuanchen didn't kill Lan Wu. Niangniang, please don't worry. I will find the real murderer and clear Prince's name! "
"Okay, then I will wait for you to investigate! If you can't find the murderer, then wait to collect Chu Xuanchen's corpse! "The Empress flicked her sleeves fiercely.
"Rest assured, Empress. Xuanchen is a noble person. He will never do such a thing! I am only afraid that the loyal minister will be wronged and the good person will be falsely accused. That will be the loss of Chu Country, and it will also make the loyal minister bitterly disappointed! "Yun Ruoyue said neither humbly nor overbearingly.
"Yun Ruoyue, how dare you talk to me like this? Do you mean that I am framing Chu Xuanchen? "The Empress was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
She was about to continue scolding, but Hongyuan Emperor said coldly, "Enough, Empress! Xuanchen hasn't confessed yet, so this case is not over. The case isn't over yet, so there's no need for you to say anything more. Everything can wait until I'm done with the case! "
Seeing that Hongyuan Emperor was angry, the Empress could only say, "Yes, chenqie understands!"
Although she agreed verbally, she was not convinced in her heart.
The evidence was irrefutable, yet the emperor was still shielding Chu Xuanchen. He was clearly afraid of Chu Xuanchen.
The Emperor feared Chu Xuanchen, but she didn't.
In the past, Chu Xuanchen had killed Tian Yu many times. This time, he had killed Lan Wu. She could not take this lying down.
No, she had to hurry back and contact Su Ming and the other courtiers. She had to ask everyone to write a memorial to the emperor to kill Chu Xuanchen!
-
With Lan Wu's death, tonight's New Year's Eve was destined not to continue.
Before the banquet was over, Hongyuan Emperor said that he was tired and asked everyone to return to their residences to rest.
Yun Ruoyue and Chu Xuanchen had originally agreed that the two of them would spend New Year's Eve happily and stay up until the new year together. However, he was sent to prison.
Without Chu Xuanchen, she didn't want to spend New Year's Eve. She must find a way to find the real murderer and save Xuanchen.
On the way out of the palace, Yun Ruoyue and Xiao Die were walking on the palace road. Suddenly, a gentle voice came from behind them, "Xiao Yue."
Yun Ruoyue turned around and saw Prince Xian, who was wearing a white cloak and holding an oil paper umbrella, walking in the wind and snow. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Wangye, what's wrong?"
Prince Xian saw that Yun Ruoyue didn't have an umbrella. He hurriedly moved the umbrella in his hand to her head and said, "Xiao Yue, imperial brother is not here. It's late. I'll send you home!"
Yun Ruoyue hurriedly waved her hand, "No need! There will be someone outside the palace to pick us up! "
Prince Xian's face was a little embarrassed. He hurriedly said, "It's cold and the road is slippery. Then, Wang will send you out of the palace first! Come, this umbrella is for you to use first! "
With that, Prince Xian handed the oil paper umbrella to Yun Ruoyue.
