Chapter 97 Ask the Emperor to take back the Holy Order
Just after Mao hour, General Xiao Mo and Grand Master Sun came in one after another. Although Bai Chen tried his best to delay the matter, the two high officials from the court came to the hall in person to supervise the interrogation, and he could only delay for a stick of incense at most.
The two ladies in the palace, Xiao Yuanyuan and Sun Mengmeng, were also anxious today. They were eagerly waiting for the results of Su Muer's interrogation.
In fact, this matter was not so serious originally, but Xiao Yuanyuan and Sun Mengmeng figured out that Su Muer wanted to use Doudou to hook up with Ye Shihan, and then poison them all to death, so that she could have Ye Shihan all to herself.
Because of this incident, the two of them rarely stood on the same front.
It's just that Xiao Yuanyuan was a little restless at this time.
She kept pacing back and forth in the room, slapping her hands, looking anxious and flirting.
Sun Mengmeng raised her handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose and glared at her, "Can you calm down for a while? It's really annoying."
"I'm so worried. Do you think that Su Mu'er will really be beheaded?"
She suddenly looked at Sun Mengmeng in panic, "I dreamed last night that she was beheaded, and then she turned into a ghost and came to pay me for her life. Ugh! It scared me to death."
After saying that, she even slapped her chest in fear.
Sun Mengmeng couldn't help but shudder when she heard what she said.
"Don't sound so scary. She did this in the first place, and she should be punished. Besides, didn't we agree to get rid of her together?"
"But..." Xiao Yuanyuan frowned and shook her head on the spot, "But now when I think about her being beheaded and her body separated, that scene... I... am so scared."
She was trembling as if on pins and needles. Thinking of that scene, she couldn't help but close her eyes tightly with a look of fear.
Hearing what she said and her exaggerated movements and expressions, Sun Mengmeng suddenly frowned.
"You...can you please stop scaring me? I begged my father for a long time before he agreed to write to the emperor. When you say this, why do I feel like I have become a sinner?"
"You are a sinner to begin with. If she really dies and turns into a ghost, she will not only come to me, but she will also come to you."
Xiao Yuanyuan thought about her dream last night and could not help but clench her teeth in fear, and unconsciously hugged her body tightly with her arms.
"You... what are you talking about? There is no evil spirit anywhere. You agreed to cure her together at the beginning, but now you are cowardly."
Although Sun Mengmeng said this, she was really a little scared by what she said.
"Who is the coward? I just had a nightmare last night and was a little worried."
"You're not worried, you're just timid. What's so scary? She did this in the first place, and it's true that you almost died of diarrhea. If I hadn't been so angry with her that day, my little body might have died.
Under her control."
Speaking of this, Sun Mengmeng was still a little lucky. If she hadn't escaped because of her quarrel with Su Mu'er that day, she might still be lying on the bed now.
"Why am I so timid? After all, I was harmed by her, so it's normal for me to seek reason with her. So if she turns into a villain, she will definitely come to you first."
Xiao Yuanyuan spoke while showing her teeth and claws.
Sun Mengmeng couldn't help but frown, and her body shivered involuntarily. She shook the silk handkerchief in her hand and glared at her, "Xin'er, help me back to the room."
Xin'er rushed over to help her. Xiao Yuanyuan was still immersed in yesterday's sleep. She was suddenly a little scared. In the first half of her life, she had never done anything harmful to anyone. Is it worth doing this for Ye Shihan this time?
However, what has been done has been done and it is impossible to repent. She couldn't help but silently muttered in her heart: Su Mu'er, don't come to me after you die. I was so harmed by you that I almost went to see the King of Hell. How can you do this?
You deserve it.
Su Muer sneezed while sitting in the cell. She might have caught a cold. She had been sleeping in the same clothes for the past few days. Fortunately, the cell leader gave her a pair of quilts. Otherwise, she would have died here.
At this time, some officials came towards her cell shouting.
The prison boss opened the door and she stood up. It seemed that it was time to go to court.
"Su Mu, let's go, I'm going to interrogate you today."
Su Mu'er twitched the corner of her mouth and smiled helplessly. It seemed that what was supposed to come would come.
She wasn't scared or nervous, she just prayed secretly, hoping that Doudou and her grandmother wouldn't come later, and she didn't want them to see her embarrassed side.
Time passed little by little, and Ye Shihan was waiting anxiously at the gate of Shulan Courtyard. The sun had already risen, and he guessed that it was already midnight.
He couldn't wait any longer, otherwise it would take some time for Bai Chen to complete the verdict and bring him to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation, and then reverse the case.
Thinking of this, he ignored the obstruction of the maid at the door of Shulan Court and insisted on going forward to call the door.
At this moment, the door opened and the emperor stood in front of him with a frown.
"What are you doing in a hurry this morning? Don't you know you won't have morning service today?"
Ye Shihan hurriedly took two steps back, cupped his fists and saluted, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being reckless. I really have something urgent to report to Your Majesty."
The emperor glanced at him and couldn't help but chuckle, "It must be no small matter to make you, Ye Shihan, anxious like this. Let's go and answer the question in the imperial study room."
After saying that, the emperor was surrounded by a group of eunuchs and maids to lead the way, with Ye Shihan hurriedly following behind.
As soon as the emperor stepped through the door of the royal study, and before he could sit down, Ye Shihan bowed hastily and saluted.
"Your Majesty, my brother is guilty and I have come here to apologize today."
"Oh?" The emperor took two steps in, sat down on the soft couch behind Long An, and looked at him puzzled, "What crime have you committed?"
"Your Majesty, that day at the Sanya Malatang shop in Wutong Lane, the person who ate soybean noodles in the food was my younger brother and had nothing to do with Su Mu'er."
As soon as he said these words, the emperor suddenly frowned, "What are you talking about?"
"My brother is not talking nonsense. I have been reflecting on this matter these days. Today is the day when Su Muer will be interrogated. If I don't tell this matter and she is sentenced, then I am afraid that she will be sentenced."
I feel uneasy."
While bowing and saluting, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at the emperor. Seeing that the emperor's face looked a little ugly, he continued:
"Please, Your Majesty, please take back the Holy Order. Ye Shihan is responsible for the work alone and has nothing to do with Su Mu'er."
The emperor pondered for a long time, stood up from the dragon bed, came to him with his hands behind his back, and looked at him with squinted eyes.
"Then tell me, what is the purpose of doing this?"
He had already thought of the reason, so he answered directly:
"Because I don't want to be engaged to the Xiaosun family, and I hate them being noisy in the palace all day long, I was confused for a while. I hope the emperor will understand and clear Su Muer's innocence."
After listening to his words, the emperor couldn't help but snorted coldly,
"Is this something that a prince like you would do? Why don't I believe it? Even if what you said is true, then why did you harm Jiao Yue, Bai Chen and yourself?"
