C786 786 Not Innocent Not Innocent

"This …"

Being choked by Liu Ruo Qing's words, Grand Preceptor Pang was at a loss of words. He did not know how to reply.

In the past few days, he had been extremely anxious. Shen Qin had been brought away by Yan Xiao, and although she was currently unconscious, no one could guarantee when she would wake up.

Once she woke up and testified against him, his Pang family would be finished.

Therefore, he had to make that happen as soon as possible. Otherwise, if something were to happen, not only would he lose his position, but the lives of the nine clans of the Pang Family would be lost as well.

When Liu Ruo Qing was protecting Liu Ruo Qing in the King Jing Palace, he got anxious. The King Jing Palace had the halberd that caused the assassination of the previous Emperor, so the army had no way of entering.

However, he knew clearly in his heart that the Kaiser did not want to punish Liu Ruo Qing. Or rather, the Kaiser did not believe that Liu Ruo Qing was related to the Shen Ji Hall at all.

As long as it was for a long time, once the Shen Ji Hall was settled, and the situation stabilized, the Kaiser would think of a way to prevent Liu Ruo Qing from committing any crimes.

As for now, due to the unstable situation of the imperial court, as well as the public grudges, he had no choice but to imprison Liu Ruo Qing.

Just when he was anxious to the point that he didn't know what to do, he didn't think that Liu Ruo Qing would deliver herself up to him and confess her guilt.

Grand Preceptor Pang laughed coldly in his heart. He lowered his eyes, concealing the viciousness and complacency in his eyes. However, he did not notice that a pair of eyes was looking at him silently.

He frowned as he looked at Liu Ruo Qing, and said: "Your master is your master, and you are you. Why are you confessing your crimes blindly when you have nothing to do? Go back quickly, and as for Ol 'Nine, how could he make you mess around!"

Hearing Yan Jue mention Yan Yuan, Liu Ruo Qing's heart tensed up, her lips revealed a bitter smile, she did not look at Yan Jue, but said to Yan Shuo: "Your majesty, this subject's wife has pleaded guilty, I'll let you punish her."

Yan Shuo's gaze darkened, "Do you know what the consequences of admitting defeat are?"

Was she determined to court death? Even if he wanted to protect her now, how could he protect her?

He could have dragged it out if she hadn't pleaded guilty, but now that she had confessed, he was clearly covering for her if he didn't punish her.

Your subject has understood that the Prince Jing has treated your subject as a mountain, your subject cannot bear to deceive him, your subject has a reason for approaching your subject, your subject was bewitched by your subject and thus did some things that made the emperor feel cold. Please be magnanimous, your subject does not blame you.

"You …"

Yan Shuo rubbed his forehead as he felt a headache. Looking at the different eyes that the officials were looking at him with, he summoned the Imperial Guard, "Guards."

"Your servant is here."

"Throw Crown Princess Jing into the Sky Prison."

"Yes."

After Liu Ruo Qing was brought down the stairs, the Grand Preceptor Pang used his eyes to signal the censors to come forward.

A few of the censors accepted the order, and seeing that Censor Meng was the first to walk forward, they bowed in front of Yan Shuo, "I wonder how your majesty will deal with the Crown Princess Jing?"

"We have ordered the Ministry of Justice to handle this matter with the marble temple. We are tired and we will withdraw from the court."

Yan Shuo got up in anger and left.

"The Emperor …"

Yan Jue was so anxious that he wanted to stop Yan Shuo, but he was stopped by a look from Yan Xiao.

Seeing Yan Xiao like that, he seemed to have something to say, so he suppressed the impulse in his heart and followed Yan Xiao out of the Zhaoming Palace.

Sixth Brother, why are you stopping me? Ruo Qing has now recognized her relationship with the Shen Ji Hall, so it should be the same.

The moment he left Shining Light Palace, Yan Jue panicked.

Yan Xiao looked at him and took a deep breath. He glanced at the direction of the prison and said: "She isn't crazy.

"I want to..." You've figured it out? "

Hearing Yan Xiao's words, Yan Jue was stunned for a moment, but when he thought about what Liu Ruo Qing had just said when she tried to take revenge in the Zhaoming Palace, he immediately understood.

"She did it for Ninth?"

Yan Xiao pursed his lips and nodded, "She knows this better than us what Ol 'Nine will do in the end if this case is not resolved. This is not what we want to see, nor is it what she wants to see."

Yan Jue thought about it, and could not help but sigh.

That's right, her relationship with Shen Ji Hall was already set. Even if not for the matter of the Tang and Li Families being exterminated, Ruo Qing's crimes were unavoidable.

At that time, there were only two paths. Either the Emperor would be under the pressure of a group of ministers and commoners to protect Ruo Qing, or Ol 'Nine would be at loggerheads with the Kaiser.

Yan Jue did not dare to think further, if Old Ninth won, and changed hands, he would be able to protect Ruo Qing, but what about the Emperor, and the few other princes and uncles that came along with him?

Could it be that she had also abandoned the Kaiser and joined Ol 'Nine?

Yan Jue did not even dare to think about the consequences.

Yan Xiao looked at Yan Jue and laughed bitterly.

"Do you think that Ruo Qing is even willing to let Ol 'Nine bear the consequences that you and I don't dare think of? So, from her point of view, she's the only one who has pleaded guilty and taken out Ol 'Nine. She died alone, but managed to help everyone else, I don't know much about her, and I know that she would choose to do the same today just for Ol' Nine. "

Yan Jue's heart was heavy, his eyes red, unable to say a word.

Yeah, even sixth brother didn't know what she would choose, not to mention him, eighth brother whom she had called for so many years.

Yan Xiao's feelings were not as passionate as Yan Jue's. Looking at his slightly reddened eyes, he said: "If you were Ruo Qing, how would you choose?"

Yan Jue did not answer. The answer that everyone thought was the right one was in his heart, but …

"But Ruo Qing hasn't done anything, and just shoulder this sin for the sake of all of us, isn't that too innocent?"

Yan Jue's heart was in pain, but he did not know what to do.

Yan Xiao pursed his lips, his expression equally solemn. One of the reasons was because the person they were discussing about now was the person his brother loved the most, and at the same time, was also the good friend that the unconscious girl cared about.

She had followed by his side for so many years and had never taken the initiative to ask for his help. She had only personally asked for his help for Ruo Qing's sake.

He knew that the girl cared a lot about Ruo Qing, but now …

But he couldn't help her protect her good friend.

The light in Yan Xiao's eyes had also unwittingly dimmed.

After a long while, she sighed and said, "There is no innocence, only worth it. Since Ruo Qing thinks it is worth it, then she will do it."

When he heard Yan Xiao's words, Yan Jue's thin lips pressed even tighter. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but was interrupted by Yan Xiao with a raise of his hand.

"Let's go to King Jing Palace first. I'm worried that something might have happened to Ol 'Nine."

Ruo Qing entered the palace, but Ol'nine did not stop her. If he was still in the King Jing Palace, he would definitely have stopped her from going out to do some foolish things.
