She lowered her eyes and concealed the emotion of the cigarette butt. When she raised her eyes again, her eyes were as clear and transparent as obsidian that had just been soaked in water.
She bowed her knees, her lips moved:
"Thank you... Your Majesty."
Shangguan You looked at the woman standing below, and she suddenly moved in her heart for some reason.
In fact, he had heard her voice before when he was pretending to be unconscious.
At that time, I only felt that she was a smart, quick and decisive woman. Despite her low status, she was still able to use all the conditions to force Shangguan Wan and turn her disadvantage into an advantage.
Now when I saw it, I realized that she was born like this...
Somehow, it seemed like I had seen it somewhere before.
He quickly thought about it in his mind, but after thinking about it, he had indeed never seen her before.
For nearly two years, he was basically sick in bed, staying in Qingfeng Palace, day and night.
He rarely sees other people in the palace, let alone someone from outside the Celestial Realm like Chu Liuyue.
Probably because of the eyebrows, they are too similar to those of Yue'er...
Thinking of this, Shangguanyou felt a pain in his heart, and looked at Chu Liuyue's gaze more kindly.
"You have worked so hard for Yue'er, and I should thank you. If it weren't for you today who offered to re-examine what happened in the past, I am afraid that there are many people, and you may have to live a happy life for a while."
Speaking of the second half of the sentence, Shangguanyou's tone has completely cooled down.
Although he did not sternly scolded, this low and majestic tone was full of imperial coercion, and the pressured people could not breathe!
On the square in front of Langkun Hall, everyone was quiet and quiet.
"Yuwen, show me that letter."
Upon hearing the words, Yuwenwei immediately responded, respectfully stepping forward, and presented the secret letter with both hands.
Shangguan You unfolded it and read it carefully.
Xia Hourong stood with his hands down, cold sweat constantly bursting out of his forehead, a heart beating frantically, blood rushing all over his body, it seemed that he was about to rupture his eardrum!
After a while, his back was completely wet!
However, after a short period of time, he felt that his days were like years and he was suffering!
Finally, in this almost suffocating atmosphere, Shangguan You finally spoke.
"I never wrote this letter."
A word is clear and light, but like a thunder in the hearts of everyone!
He has not written! That proves that this letter was indeed forged by someone else!
No one answered.
The air is frozen inch by inch!
Shangguan You looked at Xia Hourong.
"The date in this letter is the third day of July. On that day, I discussed matters with Master Xiahou in the Imperial Study Room, but for some reason I felt very sleepy, so I asked Master Xiahou to leave and take a nap in the side room. Come... it's today."
There was a sound of air-conditioning from the crowd.
Didn’t you keep saying that your Majesty was seriously ill and bedridden because he heard that Di Ji was dead, and was deeply sorrowful.
How do you hear your Majesty's meaning? He was in a coma since July 3 of that year?
You know, when Di Ji died, it was the tenth day of July!
At this time, who can't hear the problem? !
It was clear that someone had acted on His Majesty, causing him to pass out in a coma without waking up. At the same time, he forged this fake document, deceived Shisan Yue from Xiling, and then took the opportunity to murder Emperor Ji!
Who did this thing is self-evident!
In addition to the most respectable Xia Hourong of the day, who else is there! ?
"Master Xiahou, it seems that that day, you didn't leave the Yushufang immediately, but did a lot of tricks."
Shangguan You looked at Xia Hourong condescendingly, flicking his sleeves, and threw the secret letter in front of Xia Hourong!
"See it for yourself! This—did you write it!"
Xia Hourong finally couldn't bear it, and knelt down with a "puff"!
"Your Majesty Mingjian! The Weichen was wronged! The Weichen really did nothing!"
Xia Hourong regretted secretly in his heart while shouting injustice.
The reason why he kept this letter was actually to use it as evidence to restrain Jiang Yucheng.
Although they did a lot of things together, they didn't trust each other in their hearts.
Therefore, he kept this thing, prepared for it.
Unexpectedly, this letter was turned over by Chu Liuyue, and his Majesty personally identified it!
This time I really jumped into the river and couldn't wash it!
As I knew today, this secret letter should have been destroyed directly!
In the face of such hard evidence, Xia Hourong's defense and crying seemed very pale and weak.
"I was inside just now, and I seemed to hear Lord Xiahou swear by the entire Xiahou Mansion, saying that if he really betrayed me, let the entire Xiahou Mansion go up and down, and all of them would not die..."
Xia Hourong was startled suddenly, and a strong anxiety surged into his heart!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty--"
"Master Xiahou, I never thought that you would be so cruel to your fellow clan..."
Shangguan You spoke lightly and shook his head.
"After all, I saw the wrong person."
"Your Majesty! There is no Weichen! The Weichen really didn't do anything I'm sorry for you! Framed, this must be someone who framed the Weichen! Your majesty is a clear lesson!"
Xia Hourong was shocked and knelt forward in a panic.
But before he reached the nine steps, Shang Guanyou had already spoken.
"Xia Hourong committed uprising and intended to murder me. This is the first crime! Imitating secret decree and deceiving the top and concealing the next, this is the second crime! Both crimes are punished together to cut off the position of Xiahourong Taishi and be demoted to slaves. Beheaded! In addition, the three close relatives of Xiahou are linked together! The three distant relatives, regardless of male and female, will all be sent to the frontier as slaves! Never return for life!"
Word by word, clearly echoed in front of the hall!
Xia Hourong's action suddenly stopped, and he knelt down on the ground, the last trace of blood on his face, and the moment faded!
In an instant, it was as if all the strength in the body had been taken away, and even breathing became difficult.
It's over...
That's it!
After this judgment, the entire Xiahou clan was completely destroyed!
His wife, concubine, young and old, his relatives...
Sending out the frontiers as slaves is more terrifying than direct beheading! It can be said that life is better than death!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty's gratitude! Please read for the sake of the Xiahou clan for a hundred years of loyalty, let go of the wives and children of the Weichen!
If the Xiahou clan were destroyed in his hands, then he would become the sinner of the entire clan!
Shangguan You looked at him with deep eyes.
"Xiahourong, you also know that the Xiahou clan has been loyal for a hundred years, and they are all defeated by your hands!"
In the end, all this is his own fault!
Xia Hourong sat slumped on the ground, his heart completely cold.
"Take it with you!"
Shangguan You waved his hand.
Just as the person next to him was about to step forward, Xia Hourong suddenly turned his head back to Jiang Yucheng, and shouted harshly:
"It's him! He and the third princess forced me to do this!"
