"This …" Wu Bingcheng looked at Duan Mu Yan with a troubled expression. She was the Third Princess after all, and he had to look at his master when he beat up a dog.

"Since Crown Princess Qi has spoken, I shall forgive you, Housekeeper Zhou. Step down!" Wu Bingcheng did the same as he raised his hand to signal for the yamen runners to return to their original positions!

"Many thanks, milord …" Under Xiao Yuxuan's support, Duan Mu Yan slowly returned to her seat, but her heart was ice-cold!

"There's no need for thanks. Qi Wangfei, you also heard the evidence of Feng Xue and Cui Xin, as well as Zhao Yuxu and the other two. It's indeed very difficult for me to believe that you didn't kill anyone! "So …" Wu Bingcheng was about to speak again when Duan Mu Yan stood up once again, ignoring the intense pain in her spine!

"Lord, Mu Yan did not kill!" All of this was a framing by Su Jin Xiu! Mu Yan said it very clearly. Not long after I stepped into Su Jin Xiu's room, she woke up from her coma and placed the paper bag and dagger in my hands! " Duan Mu Yan argued!

"Then what about the wounds on Su Jin's wrist?" Wu Bingcheng did not think so.

"She did it herself. It has nothing to do with me!" Duan Mu Yan's gaze was firm as she spoke in anger! Just as Wu Bingcheng wanted to interrogate him again, Zhao Yuzhe, who was kneeling at the side, spoke up timidly.

"Sir, the injury on Lady Jin's wrist was healed by this lowly person. If I was even a moment later, Lady Jin would not have been able to come back to life."

What Zhao Yuzhe said was the truth. If it wasn't for Feng Xue and Cui Xin delaying, her little life would have really been lost in this meticulously planned scheme. Su Jin was still afraid even today! However, it was precisely because of this that she had been able to get rid of her suspicions so easily!

"Qi Wangfei, you better listen up! Could it be that Su Jin Xiu is willing to use the price of death to frame you? I am very puzzled! " Wu Bingcheng's tone was humble, but his attitude was undeniable!

"Milord!" Su Jin Xiu wanted to be the consort because Mu Yan was the one who blocked her path, so her risky military moves were within reason. What is there for Master to not understand?! " Duan Mu Yan gritted her teeth, her every word as cold as ice!

"Wangfei..." "Wuwuwu!" "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu You're still spouting nonsense! Then don't blame the Embroidery Hall for revealing everything! Lord! He was killed by the side concubine! The whole thing was like this! Yesterday morning, this servant wanted to pass the letter left by my young miss, or in other words, by Princess Qi, to the side concubine. But when the side concubine came to retrieve the letter, she coincidentally saw that her maid Qiu Yue was on good terms with this servant. However, the side concubine didn't react at the time. When the servant handed the main concubine's note over, the side concubine cursed Qiu Yue like crazy. She even said that Qiu Yue was trying to take advantage of her and that this servant sent her to harm her! "Then, Qiu Yue and I were a little confused, but before I fainted, I clearly saw the side concubine grabbing Qiu Yue's neck with all her might. I wanted to save Qiu Yue, but I couldn't move. Su Jin Xiu's tears were mottled as she choked with sobs!

"Embroidery!" What about the letter? Tell me where Shi Rou's letter is! " After hearing Chu Shirou's name, Xiao Jingfeng excitedly held the Su Family's Embroidered Embroidery, her dark eyes shining with resplendent splendor!

"In reply to Your Highness, the other consort immediately swallowed this letter! "No matter how much I snatched it away, I couldn't snatch it away from you!" Su Jin's tears flowed even harder!

"Su Jin Xiu!" You're too scary! The terror was unimaginable! All of this is a lie! " Her furious gaze was like burning flames, causing Duan Mu Yan to almost roar out!

"Duan Mu Yan!" Why did you destroy Shi Rou's letter! Tell me! What did she say? "Speak!" Xiao Jin Feng had almost lost control and rushed towards Duan Mu Yan, but he was stopped by Xiao Yu Xuan!

"I don't see any words on it, never!" Duan Mu Yan sat on the chair in despair. Right now, everything was accusing her, but how innocent was she!

"Your Highness …" Miss's letter said... Her death also took away your heart. Miss was full of remorse towards the side concubine, who said that the side concubine would never get your heart. She was the one who let the side concubine down. Miss, she … He didn't forget to apologize to the side concubine before he died! "Sob, sob …" Su Jin Xiu sobbed as she sobbed, each word was like a sharp knife that stabbed into Xiao Jin Feng's chest! In the next second, Xiao Jin Feng punched Xiao Yu Xuan in the chest, forcing Xiao Yu Xuan to take a few steps back before landing on the chair Duan Mu Yan was sitting on!

"Duan Mu Yan!" "Why did you do this?!" Xiao Jin Feng took another step forward and roared at Duan Mu Yan!

At this moment, Duan Moyan's heart was abnormally calm. She slowly raised her teary eyes, looking directly at Xiao Jingfeng's fury.

"Xiao Jingfeng, oh, I've never cared where your heart is, how could I care about a letter …" Yuxuan, I love you! From the time I was ten years old until now, this love has never stopped. I was the one who destroyed our happiness, sorry … " At this moment, she had completely collapsed. What sort of world was this? How much longer was she going to have to endure to be free from this ruthless sky?

At this moment, Xiao Jin Feng was stunned as he helplessly watched Duan Mu Yan throw herself into Xiao Yu Xuan's embrace. His heart was suddenly in pain, so much so that he almost suffocated. So that's how it was! So that's how it was!

"Cough, cough …" That... "Now that the evidence is conclusive, Qi Wangfei indeed killed Qiu Yue and almost caused Su Jin Xiu to die. Right now, I …" Just as Wu Bingcheng was about to adjudicate, Xiao Yuxuan suddenly picked up Duan Mu Yan and walked out!

"Halt!" How could Xiao Jin Feng be willing to let go? He immediately stood in front of Xiao Yu Xuan and blocked his path!

"Get out of the way! Mu Yan was innocent! She didn't kill anyone at all! " Xiao Yuxuan's bright eyes looked at Xiao Jin Feng as if he were a blade!

"Jade Xuan …" I'm so tired... Let's go... "Never come back, never come back …" Leaning into Xiao Yuxuan's embrace, Duan Mu Yan was utterly defeated. Her eyes were blurry and her expression was dispirited. Other than extreme disappointment, she couldn't see any other light!

"You want to leave?!" Impossible! Killing to pay with one's life! You said so yourself? What? [You don't dare to face me when the truth is revealed?] Duan Mu Yan! Is this the style of royalty! Aren't you afraid of losing the face of the Emperor? " Xiao Jingfeng said fiercely! He would not allow Duan Mu Yan to leave just like that! Absolutely not! No reason, no reason!

Suddenly, her heart was gripped tightly by someone as blood dripped down. Duan Mu Yan suddenly thought of her royal brother and hesitated!

At this moment, outside the court, Duan Zitong held an imperial edict in her hand as she strode into the hall! When she saw Xiao Yuxuan hugging Duan Mu Yan, a dark glint flashed across Duan Zitong's eyes!

"Xiao Yu Xuan, receive the decree!" Duan Zitong walked step by step towards Xiao Yuxuan, not caring if he knelt or not as she read the imperial edict.

"With the blessing of the heavens, and with the emperor's decree, Xiao Yuxuan will immediately enter the palace and report this matter to the censor. I am here to inform you!" Duan Zitong kept the imperial edict, her gaze sweeping across Duan Mu Yan as she spoke.

"Yuxuan, Imperial Father believes that this matter has something to do with the First Prince. It would be best for you to immediately enter the palace and explain, or else the consequences …" "Hand over the imperial edict!"

"Yuxuan, put me down and quickly explain this to my royal father. This matter was definitely not done by my royal brother!" "Go quickly!" Duan Zitong's words were effective. When he heard about Duan Jingyang, Duan Mu Yan immediately struggled and retreated from Xiao Yuxuan's embrace, his hands tightly grasping his sleeves!

"But, but you …" How could Xiao Yuxuan leave Duan Mu Yan here alone!

"I'm fine. You can enter the palace now and perhaps even seek justice for me in front of royal father. Go quickly, I'll wait for you here! I'm also a princess, they don't dare to do anything to me! But royal brother can't wait! " Duan Mu Yan endured the pain in her heart and pushed Xiao Yu Xuan away. She knew that his royal father, who was high above her, wouldn't redress her grievances. Perhaps this was what his royal father wanted to see! However, for the sake of her royal brother, Duan Moyan could only say this. She knew how much Xiao Yuxuan felt for her.

"Mu Yan, wait for me. I will definitely seek justice for you in front of the Emperor! "Wait for me!" Xiao Yuxuan didn't even glance at Duan Zitong as she snatched the imperial edict from her hands and dashed towards the imperial palace!

Something called jealousy spread through every cell in Duan Zitong's body. She didn't even spare a glance at Duan Mu Yan as she walked straight up to the court.

"Sir Wu, I am here to ask on behalf of my father if this case has been completed?" Duan Zitong looked at Wu Bingcheng with a sharp gaze, the meaning in her eyes obvious.

"Reporting to Seventh Princess, the case has already been tried. The evidence is conclusive now, but …" "But if Princess Qi doesn't plead guilty, then this official …" Duan Zitong's gaze turned cold, and her eyes darkened even more as she stared at Wu Bingcheng.

Wu Bingcheng naturally understood Duan Zitong's intentions. Since he had already determined that Duan Mu Yan would kill someone, he would completely fall in favor of Duan Zitong and the Second Prince. At this point in time, Wu Bingcheng had no other choice!

"Princess Qi, are you guilty?" Wu Bingcheng's gaze fell upon Duan Mu Yan, who had just returned from outside the hall. His tone was icy as he spoke, his gaze icy cold!

"Mu Yan has never done it before. She won't admit it!" Her cold voice contained absolute rage. Duan Mu Yan coldly looked at the faces of everyone in the court and her heart was as cold as water. At this moment, she suddenly realized how lonely she was!

"You! "The Qi King …" Wu Bingcheng turned to look at Xiao Lingfeng at the side.

"To repay a debt with one's life, I shall remain unchanged throughout the ages. Lord, what do I have to do? Do I still need to teach you how to do it?" His heart, however, felt as though it had been cut by a knife. The moment he saw Duan Ling Tian begging as he looked at Xiao Yuxuan, his rage had already reached its limit. His man's self-esteem had already been trampled to the bottom of his feet by this woman!

"Cough, cough …" "Qi Wangfei, I'll give you one last chance. If you don't plead guilty again, I'll serve you with a heavy punishment!" Wu Bingcheng said boldly.

"Mu Yan is still the same old saying. Mu Yan has not committed a crime, how can she admit her wrongs!" Her gaze swept across Xiao Lingfeng as she fell into complete despair!

"Good!" Someone! Twenty big boards! Beat the prisoner until he confesses! " Wu Bingcheng slapped the wooden table, and the yamen runners on both sides charged up, pressing Duan Mu Yan down onto the ground as they spoke!

"Wait!" Your excellency, Princess Qi is the third princess of the current emperor. In the entire court, only Zhou Jing was left to rush up to stop the bailiffs, protecting Duan Mu Yan with his hoarse voice!

"This …" When Wu Bingcheng saw that Duan Zitong didn't say anything and Xiao Jin Feng remained indifferent, he immediately regained his confidence!

"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the commoners! Now that Qi Wangfei had killed someone, could this official still let him get away with it … Someone came and dragged Zhou Jing to the side! "Execute the punishment!" Wu Bingcheng slapped down on the wooden block once again!

"No!" Princess Wangfei, this old servant will take you with me! Before the old general left, he had instructed me to protect you thoroughly. It is this old servant who is useless, but even if I have to sacrifice my life, this old servant will not let you suffer such injustice! " Zhou Shinro was already in tears, but just as he was about to pull Duan Mu Yan away, he was stopped!
