The culprit who spread the rumors, Zhang Nuo, had already been executed on the spot by Shen You Huang. Who else could speak the truth? Only Flower Rain.

Thousands of soldiers held their breath, waiting for Hua Ruyu's reply.

Hua Ruyu had her own thoughts, and in a moment, she knew what to choose.

She looked at Feng Wei and Feng Ning Yan and felt both regret and regret. Her tears fell like rain as she shook off Shen You Huang's hand and threw herself at them, kneeling down before them.

"Uncle, cousin!" Please forgive Ruyu... "Ruo Yu used to be jealous of her cousin, her father doting on her and her brilliant military achievements. She was even more jealous of her marrying into the royal family, so she was distracted for a while and decided to repay the debt of gratitude and enmity …"

Feng Ningyan was shocked.

Shen Youhuang's threats might have been useful, but Hua Ruyu wasn't a good person. If she admitted her wrongs so straightforwardly, there might be another motive behind her actions.

When the soldiers heard that Hua Ruyu had pleaded guilty, and that the reason for her framing Feng Ningyan was so preposterous, they were all incomparably indignant and there were even people who could not help but curse.

Feng Wei was extremely disappointed with Hua Ruyu and cursed in his heart: "People can't be revived even if they die. Yue Qing's soul is watching from the sky, how do you expect me to forgive you!"

Hua Ruyu beat her chest and stamped her feet. She was filled with regret and cried until she was out of breath.

"Yes …" I secretly arranged to meet Vice General Yue to make up the lie of my cousin killing the crown prince and poisoning me. I thought that Vice General Yue would spread the news of this matter and ruin my cousin's reputation. I can only bribe the Guard Captain Zhang Nuo in front of his account to let her spread the rumor. Then, I can bribe the killers in the martial arts world to silence Vice General Yue … "

She had confessed everything and made a perfect lie.

"Flower Rain!" "Now that things have come to this, you still have to lie and cover up the real culprit!"

Feng Ning Yan furiously took a step forward and grabbed Hua Ruyu's collar.

The deaths of those people from the Green Plum Guild were still deeply engraved in Feng Ningyan's mind.

Those who died were all innocent people who had been schemed against by Shen You. He was the real culprit and must not go unpunished!

When Shen Youhuang saw that Hua Ruyu's words had been interrupted by Feng Ningyan, she hurriedly shouted, "Did Princess Yuhuang want to unjustly accuse your lordship by interfering with Ruyu's words?"

Shen Ling Jue grabbed Feng Ning Yan's hand and asked her to let go of Hua Ruyu.

He knew that if Hua Ruyu would rather die than give away Shen You Huang, then Shen You Huang's power and influence would remain. No one would be able to shake him.

On the other hand, if Feng Ningyan were to be so rude to Hua Ruyu, she would use the excuse of her own words and be at fault instead.

Hua Ruyu caught her breath, and continued to speak, "I only wanted to deal with my cousin, but who would have known that the matter would become more and more outrageous, the situation would go out of control, and the morale of the troops would go into chaos. I knew that I could not escape my responsibility, so I wanted to drag His Highness Prince Cheng into the water, forcing him to protect me. "But now, Ruo Yu finally knows that I have hurt all my beloved relatives, implicated the Feng family, implicated His Highness Duke of Cheng. Ruo Yu deserves to die …"

As she said that, she suddenly stood up. Before anyone could react, she pounced towards the Howling Cloud Sword in Feng Wei's hand!

The blade pierced her left shoulder!

Who would have thought that someone like Hua Ruyu, who was afraid of death, would actually seek her own death? Even Shen Ling Jue was not in time to stop him.

Fresh blood dyed the Howling Cloud Sword red, as did the eyes of Feng Wei.

"Yu'er!" Feng Wei shouted as he collapsed, released his sword and held onto Hua Ruyu, "Quick... Call the military doctor! "

He looked at his niece, who had once viewed him as a treasure, whose front had been dyed red with blood, and whose eyes were tightly shut. He could only vent his anger on her, not her, as he could no longer care about whether she was the murderer or not, his only thought was to save her!

Even Feng Ningyan, who hated Hua Ruyu to the bones, was stunned. She subconsciously took out a brocade handkerchief and pressed it against Hua Ruyu's wound …

Shen Lingjue stood behind Feng Ningyan, looking coldly at Shen Youhuang.

There was a cruel smile on Shen Youhuang's face as she slowly walked in front of Shen Lingjue. With a voice that only the two of them could hear, she said in a sinister voice,

"This king does things rightly deserve to be done in the future, how can I allow others to slander me? But now that the truth has been laid out in front of us, I am disappointed. "

"Those who commit injustice will commit suicide."

When Shen Lingjue heard this, he no longer bothered to look at Shen Youhuang and coldly threw down these words.

Subsequently, Shen Youhuang immediately pretended to be hurt as she squatted down beside Hua Ruyu who had fallen to the ground. She pushed aside Feng Wei and Feng Ning Yan and held her horizontally as she said in sorrow:

"Ruo Yu, Ruo Yu, wake up …" It's because This King is useless and This King cannot protect you... "

After he finished speaking, his eyes began to shine with tears as he said to Feng Wei, "General Feng, you are indeed a disciplined person. For the sake of this false reputation, you even want to kill your little sister's only flesh and blood! This king will definitely praise you in front of the emperor for your righteous deed of extermination! "

When Feng Wei heard this, he looked at his hands that were covered in blood and trembled from head to toe, "I … I killed Yu'er... I killed Yu'er …

Seeing her father continuously suffering damage, Feng Ningyan was truly afraid that he wouldn't be able to take it anymore. She hurriedly ordered Li Yao to help Feng Wei into the Commander's Tent to rest.

Although Hua Ruyu had already admitted her guilt, no one could stop her now that she had committed suicide and pleaded guilty.

At this time, Jing Qi had completed his mission and returned. Seeing that the rumors were finally settled, he ordered the soldiers to return to their respective camps and to not discuss today's matter anymore.

Looking at Shen Youhuang's departing back, the pool of blood on the ground, the messy scene, and Zhang Nuo being carried away, Feng Ning Yan couldn't feel happy at all.

Shen Ling Jue gently held her shoulders, and said: "The rumors have subsided, and the army is reunited, this is a good thing."

Feng Ningyan lowered her head in a daze, feeling extremely unresigned in her heart.

"Hua Ruyu is absolutely not sincerely regretting her decision. She's only doing this to protect Shen You Huang! He was still at large. As his military overseer, all the innocent people who were killed were still unable to rest in peace … The Heavens are unfair! "

Shen Ling Jue felt his heart ache when he saw her anger. "It's not that the heavens are unfair, it's just that Shen You Huang knows how to avoid evil. As a child, he helped the crown prince commit evil, and he always left his responsibilities to the side. Shen Youhuang had been involved in raising the killer, embezzling the crown prince, and harming the loyal, but not a trace of evidence had been left behind. Such people are much more difficult to deal with than Shen Di. "

Feng Ning Yan nodded her head, "No matter how difficult it is to deal with, I'm just flesh and blood. But why can't I be like the martial artists in the martial arts world who are acting on behalf of the heavens?"

Hearing Feng Ning Yan's self-blame, Shen Ling Jue gently held her face and smiled, "Because you are the Young Marshal of the Southern Ning Army, you are the one in charge of law and order, the one who upholds justice."

These words awakened the person in her dreams, causing the evil intent in Feng Ningyan's heart to quietly dissipate.

She looked up at him, feeling all the more responsible.

"I am the descendant of the Feng family, and I am the Young Commander of the Southern Ning Army. Your Highness, you are right. It is not that the heavens are unfair, it is that we are not strong enough! "One day, we will make Shen You Huang's crime known to the world and let him receive his due punishment!"

Seeing that she had regained her composure, Shen Ling Jue heaved a sigh of relief, "Put it in your account, I'll bandage your wound."

As he spoke, he took Feng Ning Yan's hand.

Only now did Feng Ningyan recall the wound on her fingertip, and discovered that it was still bleeding.

Lowering her eyes, she saw He Li Shu being stepped on. He Li Shu had accidentally landed on the ground.
