King An stretched out his hand to touch her pale face and said distressedly: "Of course not. You know that Princess Huai is crazy and her words cannot be trusted. Stop thinking about it. Go to sleep. I am going to take a bath and will come back later."
Princess An was startled, "Your Majesty, is he here tonight?"
King An kissed her and said softly: "Since we got married, whenever I am in the palace, I will hold you in my arms before I can fall asleep. This has been the case before and will be the same in the future. This will not change in this life."
Princess An's tears rolled down and she sobbed: "I thought...I thought everything would change after the prince married his concubine."
King An reached out to wipe away her tears, held her shoulders, and promised: "No, it will never change."
After Yu Wenhao got on the carriage, he was interrogated by Yuan Qingling.
He refused to plead guilty, "It was Master Leng who mentioned this to me, but I didn't agree, and I didn't want to involve the sixth man. Rong Yue was also present when it was mentioned, and Rong Yue herself didn't agree.
.”
Yuan Qingling knew that he loved King Huai, so he would not do this. She said: "No matter what happens now, Lao Liu and Rong Yue have offended Prince An's Mansion, and if the Fourth Master's Leng Lang Clan is not handled well, they will
If you are exposed, we owe you a huge favor."
Yu Wenhao's face was full of vicissitudes of life and the loneliness of being left behind in the world, "It's okay, I don't have to worry if I have many debts."
Yuan Qingling said angrily: "Why do I think it was all planned by you?"
"I've been busy with cases recently, where can I find the time to take care of these?" Yu Wenhao said in a very anxious tone.
"Speaking of the case, you won't submit it to the Ministry of Justice tomorrow, right?" Yuan Qingling asked.
Yu Wenhao had a serious look on his face, "No, this matter has been delayed for too long. I will be executed tomorrow and will be submitted to the Ministry of Punishment after execution."
Yuan Qing Ling was startled, "After execution, submit it to the Ministry of Punishment? Don't you want the Ministry of Punishment to review the death penalty?"
Yu Wenhao shook his head and said: "It depends on the situation. Jingzhao Mansion is no better than other state government yamen. Some cases can be decided independently. They will be investigated and judged first and then handed over to the Criminal Department."
"But didn't you say last night that you should submit it to the Ministry of Punishment first? Why did you suddenly change your mind and kill the murderer first?"
Yu Wenhao said: "I have angered the fourth child tonight. He is now in Beijing again. I don't know what tricks he will play. If the case is not resolved, he will come back to court and impeach me again. I am really tired of every time
There were a lot of people biting me like flies in the morning, and I am not a piece of cow dung, so I might as well finish it early and concentrate on investigating other cases."
Yuan Qingling wanted to say more, so he hugged her over and pressed her into his arms, "Okay, just don't worry about this. The matter in Leprous Mountain is almost over. Just focus on that side. I'm here."
No problem."
Yuan Qingling had been blowing the cold wind on the mountain for a long time. She was really attached to the friction between her ears and temples on the carriage at this moment, so she stopped talking about it. Lao Wu should know it well.
The next day Yuan Qingling went to Meizhuang, and then went to Leprous Mountain from Meizhuang.
On the same day, Yu Wenhao settled a case and beheaded the prisoner at the execution ground at noon that day. After beheading, he handed over the latest case to the Ministry of Punishment for review.
Little did they know that the very next day, someone came to the Ministry of Punishment and surrendered, saying that he was the murderer of the widower's murder. He committed the murder in a fit of rage and hid in another place afterwards. Later, he heard that someone had died innocently and he felt uneasy, so he came to surrender.
