Hearing this, everyone took a breath.
No one would have thought that it was originally a trial to torture Princess Han Ji Wanrong, but now it was Lin Wenrui who was going to be executed!
Ji Yunyao took advantage of Lin Wenrui's reaction and knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, spare your life! Mother, she didn't mean it! Although she hurt people, she has already repented."
Before even finding out the truth, Ji Yunyao admitted all this on behalf of Lin Wenrui, fearing that the emperor would blame her.
Lin Wenrui also realized the meaning of Ji Yunyao's words at this moment, glared at Ji Yunyao with hatred, and knelt down in the center of the hall in panic.
"Your Majesty! I don't know anything! I don't know anything! It was Yunyao who asked me to come here, so I'm here to testify. Ji Wanrong, this bitch, is different from before! I didn't say anything wrong. ah!"
Lin Wenrui spoke in a panic, trying to put all the blame on Ji Yunyao.
Ji Yunyao is dead, but she still has Ji Liangxing, who can become the Marquis in the future!
And if she dies, then the future Lord Marquis will have no mother. How can this be done?
Let Ji Yunyao die.
Ji Yunyao's face darkened for a moment: "I came here today after hearing the instructions from my father-in-law in the palace. My father-in-law asked me to speak truthfully, so I told the truth. Yunyao is not very clear about what happened today. Let alone more than ten years ago!"
Ji Yunyao used her age as an excuse to completely forget what happened more than ten years ago. What happened more than ten years ago was not her fault, so she has no way to meet the third Taoist priest today.
Lin Wenrui almost bit her lip after hearing this.
She rushed up from the ground with a single step, pulled Ji Yunyao's scalp, and gave Ji Yunyao a hard slap in the face.
There was a crisp sound in the hall, and Ji Yunyao was caught off guard and fell to the ground, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth in an instant.
The well-informed Eunuch Gao was also shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. He ordered two imperial guards to force Lin Wenrui to the ground.
The emperor frowned and his face became impatient.
The eldest princess smiled faintly: "I didn't expect that the Nanyang Marquis Mansion had so much money that it could twice invite the third Taoist priest to give perjury. There is no need for the two of them to argue, as long as the third Taoist priest can tell clearly who it is. Just give me the money and it will be fine.”
The third Taoist priest closed his eyes, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and pointed to Lin Wenrui's position: "It's her..."
At least it used to be.
But now, with the person behind Ji Yunyao sitting in charge, he didn't dare to blame Ji Yunyao.
Ji Wanrong looked at the flashing eyes of the third Taoist priest and knew that there was something hidden behind it.
So she added slowly: "Master Jiuyun said that the human bone curse and the Purple Thorn Mihua both come from Wudong. Wudong is far away from Beili. Lin Wenrui must not be able to do it alone." Lin Wenrui must not be the only one behind the murder of the Queen Mother!"
After Ji Wanrong said this, he looked in the direction of Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan.
Concubine Hua's eyes flickered, she took a deep breath, and pretended to calm down.
"There are rats in this palace." The emperor said, lowered his eyes, and tightened his grip on the armrest beside him, "But I am in a bad mood today. I want the culprit to die now, and I will slowly investigate the rest. .”
The emperor's words were profound. He knew that someone in the palace was restless and in harmony with the people outside. But what he said now was to scare the monkeys and reshape the harem.
In a rare moment, Concubine Hua's face turned pale.
Ji Wanrong put his hands into his sleeves and only watched the show without speaking.
She sang the first half of the play, but now that she has watched Lin Wenrui and Ji Yunyao's dog-eat-dog play, it's time to sing a play about "you reap the consequences".
When Lin Wenrui heard this, she raised her head and looked at the emperor in horror, feeling that she had heard wrongly.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I am unjustly accused! Even in the past, when Xing Su tried to murder the Queen Mother, he was first imprisoned in the sky prison and then interrogated and executed. Please give me some time before you can investigate the matter clearly!"
The emperor smiled: "Do you think I am not aware of everything now?"
Lin Wenrui choked and cried. She felt that her vision was blurry and the whole world had become dark. She wanted to step forward and grab the emperor's robe to beg for mercy.
Is this a dream? Isn't the person who died today not Ji Wanrong?
How could she have changed?
The soldiers who were waiting for orders came up to the front of the palace with serious faces after listening to the emperor's instructions, wanting to take Lin Wenrui down.
"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!"
Ji Chengde, who rushed in from outside the door, saw this scene, and ignored Mrs. Ji who was supporting Mrs. Ji beside him, and quickly knelt down in front of the emperor.
"Although it is the fault of a son not to teach his father, Wen Rui is the head mistress of the Hou Mansion, but Ji Wanrong's mistakes are her own business. I beg your Majesty not to implicate other people in the Hou Mansion!"
Ji Chengde felt a little strange at first. He obviously wanted to deal with Ji Wanrong after hearing the news, but how could the person who was crying so much now become Lin Wenrui?
But he quickly figured it out. His Majesty must have thought that it was the son's fault for not being a godfather, so he wanted to punish Lin Wenrui in front of everyone.
Although Lin Wenrui looks old and yellow now, he still has a trace of emotion after serving him for so long.
The emperor listened to Ji Chengde's words and looked at Ji Chengde's face with a rare trace of doubt.
"If Your Majesty wants to deal with Wen Rui, it would be an injustice!"
"Ji Wanrong, a little bitch who has a mother but not a mother, made a mistake. It is her own fault. Now I will say here that from now on, her life and death will have nothing to do with the Hou Mansion!"
"It's because of my incompetent discipline that I taught such a rebellious girl! I came here today to tell His Majesty in person that Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about the feelings of my ancestors and can deal with this rebellious girl directly!"
Mrs. Ji, leaning on crutches, heard these words from Ji Chengde when she hurriedly crossed the threshold of the palace.
She staggered, and the iron book of alchemy she held tightly in her hand almost fell to the ground.
The emperor finally came back to his senses. The corner of his mouth twitched. Looking at Ji Chengde, he felt a little speechless.
It's been a long time... I haven't met such a stupid person.
"I admire your love for your selflessness."
Ji Chengde was complacent after hearing this.
"In this case, let's kill Lin with a stick in front of Ji Aiqing, so that everyone in the world will know the consequences of deceiving the emperor."
Ji Chengde's eyes widened, and a question mark slowly grew on his stupid head. He was so stunned.
"Go on, my dear, you will have to open your eyes and take a good look at your request later." The emperor slowly leaned his back on the back of the chair.
Ji Chengde rolled his eyes, his whole body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
