Abolish the emperor into a concubine

On the same day, Dali Temple Minister found out the "truth":

On the face of it, LV Xiuming, Xiao Guo’s close servant, came to Mu State to take care of Xiao Guo’s food and drink, but in fact, he was ordered by the Empress Xiao to inquire about Mu’s national conditions, and repeatedly framed Xiao Guo’s proton, trying to secretly Get rid of Xiao Guo's proton.

The letter secretly communicated with Empress Xiao accidentally fell into the hands of Proton Yuan, and he wanted to steal it back in the middle of the night, but was caught by Proton Yuan on the spot, so he became vicious and killed Proton Yuan, but also Injured by Yuan Guo's proton, he failed to escape in time and left evidence.

Those letters clearly recorded how Lu Xiu conveyed Mu Guo's information to Empress Xiao and framed Xiao Zhenye, and even planned to attack Mu Zijin and Mu Zizhuo several times, but Xiao Zhenye accidentally destroyed them in the middle.

Those makeups were outrageous, and Lu Xiu was thrown into the Mu Palace Prison on the spot. Various punishments were given in turn, no matter how much Lu Xiu begged for mercy, it was of no avail.

Two days later, Xiao Zhenye went to the prison.

In the cold dungeon, there was only faint light from the skylight, and all kinds of instruments of torture were hung on the walls, which was eerie and strange, and covered with thick blood.

When Xiao Zhenye saw Lu Xiu, he was lying on a pile of messy hay in pain, covered in wounds and blood.

The left hand and right leg that had just been spliced ​​by Luo Zheng last time were completely broken this time, twisted at a weird angle.From time to time, painful moans came out of his mouth, which were obvious in this gloomy and dead cell.

Seeing Xiao Zhenye appearing in the prison cell, Lu Xiu's dusty eyes suddenly lit up. He seemed to have grasped the last straw and hurriedly struggled to crawl over to grab Xiao Zhenye's trouser leg, "Your Highness Fifth Prince, I beg you to save me, the villain was wronged..."

"Oh? Have you been wronged?" Xiao Zhenye sneered, "What did you do wrong? Are you wronged that you belong to Empress Xiao? Or are you wronged to frame me repeatedly?"

Lu Xiu had long thought about how to defend himself if he saw Xiao Zhenye, so he had planned his excuses early in the morning, his eyes moved slightly, and he burst into tears,

"The villain knows that His Royal Highness the fifth prince will never trust the villain...but the villain is forced...The queen threatened the villain with his mother.

People...if the villain doesn't listen to them, the villain's mother will not be able to live...the villain can't do anything..."

Seeing that Xiao Zhenye didn't respond, and still looked indifferent, Lu Xiu cried even more miserably, "But even if the villain was ordered by the queen, he didn't really ruthlessly deal with the fifth prince, instead he always served him with all his heart... ...Otherwise, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince would not be able to live safely until now...

I beg His Highness the fifth prince to save the villain because the villain grew up with His Highness to serve His Highness... Prince Yuan Jiu is really not a villain

Yes, please follow..."

"I know." Xiao Zhenye said suddenly.

"You...know?" Lu Xiu was a little dazed for a moment, but then he reacted with ecstasy. Could it be that the idiot Xiao Zhenye believed his words?

His heart was beating violently, he was about to be saved!

But in the next moment, his hope was dashed.

Xiao Zhenye looked at Lu Xiu's hopeful eyes, and a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth. He slowly approached Lu Xiu's ear, and said word by word, "Because I killed Luo Zheng."

Lu Xiu's pupils narrowed sharply, "What did you say...?"

Xiao Zhenye stood up and patted the non-existent ashes on his body. He looked down at Lu Xiu who was stunned on the ground with a mocking look in his eyes, "That's right, I arranged all of this."

Xiao Zhenye learned about Luo Zheng's plan to kill him and then blame Lu Xiu from the man in black who came to assassinate him, so he planned to kill Luo Zheng and then blame Lu Xiu. Even the letters in Luo Zheng's room were He collected it and put it there.

In this way, not only will Luo Zheng and Lu Xiu be eliminated at the same time, but it can also help Zijin solve the hidden disasters, and even cause conflicts between the Xiao Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom, leaving a place for the downfall of Emperor Xiao and Empress Xiao in the future. backhand.

Lu Xiu looked at Xiao Zhenye and shuddered. He only felt that Xiao Zhenye was strange and scary at this time. It took him a long time to find his voice, "When?"

Xiao Zhenye knew that Lu Xiu was asking him when he knew his identity, but he didn't intend to answer, but took out an exquisite rattle from his arms, and the small drum was engraved with the word "Ji".

Seeing the rattle, Lu Xiu's pupils shrank fiercely, and without knowing where the strength came from, he subconsciously struggled to grab it, but Xiao Zhenye easily avoided it.

Lu Xiu missed the opportunity and fell to the ground in embarrassment. His broken left hand and right leg hit the cold and hard ground, causing Lu Xiu to gasp in pain.

Xiao Zhenye squatted down in front of Lu Xiu, playing with the small rattle in his hand, and said in a casual tone, "It's not a small skill, to be able to marry such a beautiful wife and have such a lovely son without telling everyone. It can even be raised in Mu Country in a delicious and delicious way, even I hide it from the past

It's..."

As if thinking of something, Xiao Zhenye hooked his lips and smiled deeply, "By the way, there is also your mother, I will also have someone pick it up from my vicious 'mother queen'."

coming……"

It was obviously a casual tone, but it sounded like a devil's voice to Lu Xiu's ears, and all the pores of his body were trembling.

He looked at Xiao Zhenye in horror, his pale lips trembling, "What... do you... want to do to them?"

Appreciating the fear on Lu Xiu's face, the corners of Xiao Zhenye's mouth curled up into a graceful arc, but the bottom of his eyes was piercingly cold, "It depends on how you choose."

It's..."

Two days later, news came from the prison that Lu Xiu had pleaded guilty.

Under the cruel punishment, Lu Xiu finally couldn't hold on, and confessed in detail the process of delivering information to Empress Xiao, framing Xiao Zhenye, and killing Luo Zheng after Lu Xiu discovered the secret.

Every point was very detailed, and no doubts could be found. Emperor Mu immediately wanted to divide Lu Xiu into five horses, but in the end, at the suggestion of Mu Zijin and other courtiers, he ordered Lu Xiu to be escorted to the Yuan country, let Emperor Yuan make the final decision.

However, when he was about to arrive at Yuan Palace, the news of Lu Xiu committing suicide in fear of crime came out. Emperor Mu was furious. Fortunately, Emperor Yuan was also shrewd. He did not turn his anger to Mu State to affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, but directly approached him. Emperor Xiao.

Mu Di breathed a sigh of relief.

There are even some joys to hear and see.

After all, in this way, it is impossible for Xiao Yuan and the two countries to secretly form an alliance, and the Mu country will lose a hidden threat.

In the afternoon, Mu Zijin was painting.

Xia Yunyang whispered in Mu Zijin's ear, "Ajin, do you think this is a bit strange?"

Mu Zijin ignored Xia Yunyang, focused on the painting in his hand, and didn't even give him a look.

Xia Yunyang has long been used to Mu Zijin's indifference, and continued on his own, "Although I don't want to admit it, but with Xiao Zhenye's shrewdness, why didn't he notice the boy's abnormality?"

Mu Zijin still ignored Xia Yunyang, Xia Yunyang continued, "What makes me feel even more strange is that, as the prince of a country, the proton of the Yuan Kingdom must have strict guards in the house. He went in? And how did he kill Yuan Guo’s proton, whose martial arts were much higher than his? Why didn’t he escape immediately after killing him, instead leaving behind physical evidence?”

Without raising his head, Mu Zijin replied casually, "Didn't you tell me all the testimony? He sneaked in in disguise and managed to get in by sneak attack, but he was also injured by Luo Zheng and passed out, so he couldn't escape.. ...."

"Ajin, do you believe it?" Xia Yunyang said, "And the boy didn't recruit no matter how much he tortured him. Xiao Zhenye went to prison once, and he recruited..."

Mu Zijin paused for a moment with the pen in his hand. He raised his eyes to look at Xia Yunyang with sharp eyes, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Fearing that Mu Zijin might misunderstand, Xia Yunyang quickly explained, "I don't mean anything else, but I think this matter is still suspicious..."

Mu Zijin's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was cold, "Are you questioning Dali Siqing, the crown prince, and my father's ability?"

Xia Yunyang hurriedly panicked, "I'm not, I don't..."

"I want to rest, Pavilion Master Xia, please go back." Mu Zijin turned around and said coldly.

"Then... I'll go back first, Ah Jin, you have a good rest..." Mu Zijin issued the order to evict guests, Xia Yunyang couldn't stay any longer, so he hesitated for a while to see you

Mu Zijin still turned his back to him coldly and did not speak, so he had to go back first.

After Xia Yunyang left, Mu Zijin turned around. Looking at Xia Yunyang's back, there was a dark wave in his eyes, but he calmed down in a moment.

In fact, he already had doubts.

Xiao Zhenye should have known Lu Xiu's true identity a long time ago, but he kept silent.

He checked Luo Zheng's wound, it was not caused by Lu Xiu. Although it was deliberately hidden, he could still recognize that it was Xiao Zhenye's hand.

law.

And those letters, although it has been confirmed that Lu Xiu and Empress Xiao communicated secretly, but they are so complete, they seem to have been collected deliberately for Luo Zheng.

Moreover, before Xiao Zhenye went to the prison, Lu Xiu had always refused to plead guilty, and he pleaded guilty not long after Xiao Zhenye went, so it was hard not to make people connect with Xiao Zhenye.

In addition, his people found a corpse a few days ago. Although it was deliberately destroyed and its appearance could not be identified, the fatal wound on that corpse was exactly the same as Luo Zheng's.

Connecting all the doubts, he can almost be sure that Xiao Zhenye did it. Although he doesn't want to admit that Xiao Zhenye has such deep scheming in his heart, but as an unfavored prince, Xiao Zhenye can survive under the turbulent tide. For Xiao Guo to survive, he must have had unusual means and thoughts.

Mu Zijin didn't tell anyone, not even Emperor Mu, except that this matter was not harmful to the Mu country but beneficial, and he didn't find any purpose that was not good for the Mu country from Xiao Zhenye. Reasons for unwillingness to admit:

He didn't want anyone to find out that Xiao Zhenye was involved in this matter.
