Mu Yunyao smiled, her eyes shining brightly. Now, whether it is she or King Yue, there are too many things on their backs, and these things are very likely to have an extremely important impact on the future of the two.
One year is enough to resolve most of these matters. By that time, if their minds have not changed, they can naturally be together in peace and stability.
Seeing her like this, King Yue couldn't help laughing along with her. Her smile carried an indescribable force, and even the surrounding mountains and forests became brighter involuntarily. Even if it is just for this smile, he is willing to wait for this year.
After Mu Yunyao and King Yue returned to the camp, they were immediately surrounded by the Janissaries. The second prince, Prince Yu, looked rather ugly. Seeing that the Janissaries were going to detain the two, they hurriedly stopped them: "Presumptuous. , the father and the emperor have not yet concluded, it is your turn to do it?"
Mu Yunyao's eyes trembled, and she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
King Yu stepped forward and said quickly: "Meng Handong of the Meng family is dead, at this time, Meng Xi has brought the body and sued the emperor, saying that Meng Handong was killed by you, and the feather arrow belt on his body with your mark."
In order to distinguish the prey easily, the feather arrows used on the hunting grounds are marked with each family, so as to avoid disputes when counting the prey.
King Yue nodded, his expression not showing any signs of panic: "Thank you second emperor for reminding me."
King Yu patted him on the shoulder and turned to look at Mu Yunyao on the side: "Be careful, go to the royal father's tent."
Mu Yunyao took a few steps forward, and suddenly turned around again: "His Royal Highness King Yu, I wonder if I can trouble you to do something?"
King Yu was a little surprised, but still nodded, and waved the guards around him to retreat farther: "Tell me."
Mu Yunyao stepped forward, said a word softly, and in the eyes of the other party's joy, she turned around and followed in the footsteps of King Yue.
At this time, the body of Meng Handong was placed in the emperor's tent.
Mu Yunyao walked in with King Yue, and after saluting, his eyes fell. In the mountains and forests, King Yue shot three arrows in total. The first feather arrow broke Meng Handong's hair crown, the second feather arrow pierced his palm, and the third feather arrow pierced his left shoulder. In other words, Meng Handong should have only two scars on his body, and neither of them was fatal. and
Now, a feathered arrow was stuck in his chest, killing him directly.
The emperor did not call the two of them to get up, but the breath around them was particularly oppressive: "Fourth, Meng Xi sued you for murdering people, and I had people inspected, and the arrow that ordered Meng Handong's life had your imprint on it."
King Yue turned to look at Meng Handong: "I shot the arrows on his palm and shoulders. As for the arrows on his chest that killed him, it has nothing to do with me. Please father the emperor to investigate." Meng Xi on the side raised his sleeves. Wiping away his tears, his expression was extremely sad: "His Royal Highness Yue Wang, although Han Dong is impulsive and has a stubborn temper, he is a good boy, even if he has offended you in some way, you should not torture him like this, and even finally killed him, by such means,
Really too cruel. "
King Yue turned his head: "According to Lord Meng, no matter what Meng Handong did, this king should be considerate?"
"Xiaoguan has no intention of..."
"Since there is no such meaning, how do you know that Meng Handong shouldn't die?"
Meng Xi didn't expect King Yue to speak so rudely, his breath choked slightly, and he paused for a moment before speaking: "Handong is definitely measured, he abides by etiquette on weekdays..."
"Then you mean that this king has no sense in his actions? Talking about the royal family is a serious crime of beheading. Master Meng, have you thought about it?"
Meng Xi hurriedly shook his head and kept kowtowing to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has absolutely no intention of this."
King Yue's voice was cold: "Meng Handong shot a secret arrow at this king, intending to assassinate this king, but fortunately Miss Mu helped me to prevent the disaster, so I didn't take this king's life, this king just shot and wounded his palm and shoulder. , a small punishment and a big admonition, does Lord Meng think that this king has done something wrong?"
"His Royal Highness King Yue, the small punishment and the big commandment in your mouth cost Han Dong's life!"
King Yue saluted the emperor: "Imperial Father, someone deliberately killed Meng Handong and framed his son with the intention of killing his son. Please ask the father to help him to do justice."
Looking at Ning Junyue, who was very imposing in his words and deeds, a complicated look flashed in the emperor's eyes: "You said someone was framed?"
"Exactly, please think about it carefully, the identity of the son is the prince of the dynasty, it's easy to embarrass Meng Handong, and even trying to kill him is just an excuse, why take the risk and kill him secretly? Meng Xi was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't expect him to come forward to file a complaint righteously, but in the end he was blocked by King Yue and had nothing to say: "Your Majesty, all this was fabricated out of thin air by King Yue, and the feather arrow on Handong's body is an irrefutable fact. , is it possible to judge a case only by hearing whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, but not seeing if there is any evidence
"
The emperor frowned: "Fourth, what else do you have to say?"
Mu Yunyao suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the girl has something to say."
"You?" The emperor swept his eyes coldly, his eyes filled with inexplicable emotions.
"Reporting to the emperor, Minnu was present at the time, which can be said to be the only witness."
"Oh? Then tell me, what evidence can you do?"
"Your Majesty, the girls can testify that His Royal Highness King Yue is innocent." Feeling the increasing pressure in the tent, Mu Yunyao said clearly without the slightest panic.
"Where's the evidence?" "The evidence is on Meng Handong." Mu Yunyao raised her finger and pointed at Meng Handong's body, "The arrow that killed Meng Handong hit the chest, from the back into the front chest, and killed him with one blow. Ask the imperial doctor to check the other two wounds on his body. The arrows are shot from the front.
It's easy to tell. "
Meng Xi was not convinced: "Handong sensed the killing intent of His Royal Highness King Yue, and he must have wanted to turn around and run away. Can't he just stay where he was and allow King Yue to kill? When an arrow in the chest was shot, it must have been shot while he was escaping. of!"
Mu Yunyao nodded: "Why do you say this as if Lord Meng saw it with his own eyes?"
"I'm just guessing, of course I didn't see it with my own eyes."
"Your Excellency didn't say it just now, the case is all about evidence, not fabricated out of thin air." Mu Yunyao threw Meng Xi's words back intact, "I am witness at the scene, and what I said I saw with my own eyes. "
Meng Xi gritted his teeth in anger: "You... Who knows whether what you said is true or false?" King Yue favored her, and she would naturally help King Yue!
At this moment, the second prince, Prince Yu, walked in quickly: "My son sees the father and the emperor. I have found evidence to prove the innocence of the fourth brother." The emperor raised his head: "Bring it up!"
