"With all the witnesses and evidence, it's useless no matter how much you deny it." Nian said coldly, with endless pleasure in his eyes, "Those who murder the emperor's heir should be deprived of his position and banned from the clan for the rest of his life! Someone, give it to me.
Peel off her breasts
Take him to the clan's mansion!" She is in charge of all matters in the Yong County Prince's Palace and has this right. Nala hesitated for a moment but didn't say anything. Although she couldn't bear it, this was Ling Ruo's fault and she could not blame others.
As soon as Nian finished speaking, two fierce guards rushed in, one on the left and one on the right, trying to catch Ling Ruo. At this moment, Yinzhen, who had been pursed and silent, suddenly said to her: "Do you regret it?"
, he always couldn't bear it. Being imprisoned in the sect's mansion for the whole life was a punishment more painful than death. Even if he was alive, he would not be like a human or a ghost.
Ling Ruo stared at him blankly, her stopped tears falling again, like continuous raindrops. She knew that Yinzhen could not bear to feel pity for her, but he did not trust her. She suddenly smiled and waved away the guard's hand step by step.
Walking up to Yinzhen, he said softly with an extremely sad smile: "Fourth Master, you keep saying that I have failed you.
Trust, but what about you? Ask yourself, do you really trust me?" Before Yinzhen could answer, she shook her head and said, "No, not at all. From the beginning to the end, you have never truly trusted me. Dare I ask Fourth Master,
If the person standing here today was Nalan Meier, would you still question and doubt her like this?"
"Shut up!" Yinzhen suddenly raised his head, with unconcealed shock and anger, "You are not allowed to mention Mei'er's name! Besides, Mei'er will not do such a crazy thing as you."
"Why not mention it!" she shouted, the grievances and sadness she had suppressed for a long time finally burst out at this moment, "You have guarded her for more than ten years and loved her for more than ten years, but what about her? What did she give you?
?!Tell me, what did she give you?" The tears kept falling, and there was endless sadness spreading, not only sad for myself, but also sad for Yinzhen.
"You don't have to worry about my affairs!" The veins on Yinzhen's forehead popped out and jumped, obviously his patience was almost reaching the limit. Nalan Meier was his inverse scale and was never allowed to be touched, but now Lingruo
I touched this inverse scale again and again, and tried to raise my hand several times, but I endured it all.
"Yin Zhen!" She called his name for the first time in a blur of tears. There was no fear or terror, only deep sorrow. "Do you know what she said about you during those days when you were working in the Ministry of Finance and forgetting to eat and sleep to recover the money you owed?
?Say you are mean and heartless! Yinzhen
, the woman you have been waiting for for more than ten years with everything you have has only four words for you: mean and ruthless. She has never really understood you at all, but you would rather believe her than believe that I am innocent. This is what you call trust.
?Yin Zhen!"
"Bold!" Mr. Nala's brows twitched with a rare stern expression, "Ms. Niu Hulu, how dare you call the prince by his first name? Are you trying to add insult to injury?"
"Stubborn!" Yinzhen's eyebrows pounded, and he spat out these four words from between his teeth. The last trace of unbearability disappeared. This woman had done something wrong and still refused to repent. She was not worthy of his pity at all.
.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you take her away quickly?" Nian was afraid that Yinzhen would change his mind, so she quickly urged the guards to take her out.
"Wait a minute!" Someone hurried in, it was Wen Ruyan. Her face was flushed and she was panting, and her hairpin was a little messy. It must have been caused by running all the way. She was seen kneeling in front of Yinzhen and said sadly: "
Your Majesty, can you listen to me?"
Before Yinzhen could say anything, Nian sneered and said, "Wenger, I know that you have a very good personal relationship with Niu Hulu, but now she has committed a serious crime of murdering the emperor's heir, and there are all the witnesses and material evidence. Do you still want to replace her?"
Can she plead for mercy?"
"I don't dare." Wen Ruyan lowered her head and said, "I just want to say that there are still some doubts about this matter. I also ask the prince and the two Fujins to consider it carefully to avoid unjustly accusing innocent people."
Nian raised his eyebrows and was about to say more, but Yinzhen raised his hand to stop her and said, "Let her continue."
Seeing that Yinzhen was willing to listen to Wen Ruyan, she felt happy and quickly clarified her thoughts: "I think that if Niu Hulu really wanted to do harm to Li Fujin, why would she wait until Li Fujin was seven months pregnant before taking action? At this time, the child has already matured.
If you are familiar with it, even if you are drugged to cause miscarriage, there is a great chance that the child will
Being able to survive safely is one of the reasons; secondly, murdering the emperor's heir is an unforgivable crime and must be concealed with extreme care. How could anyone be stupid enough to put medicine in his own tea in his own place? Isn't this too obvious?
Anyone with any sense would not do such a stupid thing."
"Perhaps Niu Hulu made this move in a hurry because he couldn't find a chance to take action for a long time?!" Nian retorted coldly, glancing at the thoughtful Yinzhen.
Wen Ruyan ignored her and only looked at Yinzhen. She knew clearly that Ling Ruo's life and death depended on the man in front of her. "Besides, the prince really thinks that Niu Hulu, whom you favor,
Is he a person who would fight for favors, poison and murder the emperor’s heirs?”
This sentence made Yinzhen shaken. Yes, in those days when she was with Ling Ruo, she always made him feel very comfortable and indifferent. She never fought for anything. Even if she was wronged, she could take care of the overall situation.
, can such a person really be so vicious as to be a slave?
At this moment, Yinzhen was also asking himself in his mind. He couldn't find the answer, so the conflict on his face became more and more intense.
"You know people, they know faces, but you don't know people's hearts. Not to mention just getting along with each other for a few days, even if you get along with them for more than ten years, you may not really understand someone."
Hearing what Nian said, Wen Ruyan raised her head, but her quiet smile contained infinite agility, "Nian Fujin means that the prince doesn't know much about you and your direct descendant Fujin, right?"
Nian didn't expect that Wen Ruyan, who had always been quiet, could speak so smartly. She was speechless for a moment, and then she sneered after a while and said, "Don't use your clever words here." She turned to Yinzhen and said, "Your Majesty, Niu
The evidence of the Hulu family's poisoning to kill the emperor's heir is conclusive, so you must not listen to Wen Ruyan's one-sided words."
Yinzhen hesitated. Although Nian kept saying that the evidence of his crime was conclusive, what Wen Ruyan said was not completely unreasonable. Based on common sense, he should not have administered medicine in this situation. Wouldn't this tell the whole world that she was Niu Hulu Ling?
Do you want to harm Li's unborn child?
Thinking of this, he looked at Nala and said, "Fu Jin, what do you think?"
Yinzhen is a very decisive person. He has always been uncompromising and rarely asks for other people's opinions. Now when he asks this question, he is obviously very shaken in his heart and doesn't know how to make a decision, so he wants to hear Nala's opinion.
There was a flash of light in Nala's quiet eyes. The next moment she had gathered her clothes and knelt in front of Yinzhen. Her gorgeous skirt was spread out on the ground like quiet butterfly wings. She said softly in the silence of the room,
"What Wenger said is not unreasonable. There are indeed many doubtful points in this matter that are not clear. If we rashly convict him at this time,
If it is found out that there is another inside story about this matter in the future, the Niu Hulu family will suffer in vain, and the prince will feel regretful and sad. Furthermore, the Niu Hulu family has been serving the prince with all their heart, even if it is in vain.
Lao, so in accordance with my humble opinion, I would like to ask the prince to treat the Niu Hulu family lightly."
Nian was reluctant in every way, but Yinzhen didn't let her speak. Even though her heart was scratching like a cat's claws, she had to endure it.
From the beginning to the end, Ling Ruo didn't say another word. She stood there dumbly, waiting for Yinzhen to respond to her. Whether it was life or death, she seemed not to care at all.
After a long time, Yinzhen finally said: "Forget it, until the matter is thoroughly investigated, I will confine the Niu Hulu family to live in peace and quiet. They are not allowed to take a single step without my order, and no one is allowed to visit. Anyone who violates this will be considered as accomplices."
You..." He glanced at her lifeless face in the dim candlelight, and said with endless complexity: "You can just reflect on your mistakes in there."
