Chapter 439: I have a way to absolve you of your sins
"My silly princess, you can't even protect yourself, so just leave me alone."
"Who says I can't protect myself? I'm fine."
She lied, patted her chest to Xiaomi, and said: "Look at me, I don't have any injuries on my body. If the emperor doubts me, I won't be beaten like you."
She kept comforting her and said: "Xiaomi, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you."
Although she said this, she knew very well in her heart that just like Xiaomi said, she couldn't save herself, let alone save Xiaomi's brother and sister.
If the emperor had not doubted her, he would not have ordered her to be imprisoned.
Even if the emperor really had no doubts, how could she stop the mouths of the civil and military officials in the court?
She frowned and was silent for a moment in distress. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, she lowered her eyebrows and looked at Xiaomi in her arms, and said:
"Xiaomi, tell me honestly, what are you and Aying doing in the palace? I know you are not here to assassinate the emperor."
Of this, she was sure.
To assassinate the emperor, they would never choose such a time rashly. The emperor was in the palace and guarded by many guards, so they had no chance to do it.
Not to mention Qianye Yu's martial arts, Ye Ying may not be able to beat him. Even if he can, they will die at the hands of the guards by then.
Furthermore, judging from the fact that Ye Ying was so nervous about Xiaomi, if it was to assassinate the emperor, he would never bring Xiaomi with him.
Xiaomi's expression changed slightly because of Mu Yifei's words. Looking at Mu Yifei's anxious look, she was silent for a long time before speaking in a low voice:
"We are here to find the "Strategic Strategy" left by Rong Heng."
""Army Strategy"??"
Mu Yifei's eyes flashed with some confusion. She had heard Xu'er talk about the "Strategic Strategy", which seemed to be compiled by her father, General Rong Heng, during his lifetime. Anyone who could get this book would be able to conquer all battles.
Nothing is invincible.
Although she doesn't know Xiaomi's true identity, she can still get a rough idea of the purpose of obtaining the "Strategic Strategy"
"Yes. My brother and I just wanted to take advantage of the Queen Mother's birthday tonight and the palace's security to be a little looser, so we sneaked into the royal study to look for it. Unexpectedly, we were discovered by the patrolling guards before we entered."
Speaking of this, Xiaomi couldn't help laughing, although her laughter was so feeble that she couldn't feel the slightest hint of a smile.
"The guards brought out by Qianye Yunxuan are indeed different."
I don't know whether her tone was one of appreciation or resentment.
Mu Yifei has no interest in these political matters, so she naturally doesn't want to ask too many questions. The top priority now is to find a way to avoid their death penalty.
Although it was a serious crime to break into the Forbidden Palace and steal something, it was not punishable by beheading. In addition, the emperor was not injured at all that night.
Doesn't "Donglin Laws and Regulations" say that the benefit of doubt belongs to the defendant?
Since the emperor was not injured and they did not show up to assassinate the emperor that night, what evidence is there to prove that they broke into the palace to assassinate the emperor? "How could I forget this?"
When Mu Yifei thought of this, her eyes immediately glowed with joy. She stood up from the prison and said to Xiaomi:
"Xiaomi, don't worry, I have a way to absolve you."
After saying these words, she walked to the cell door and shouted: "Here comes someone."
