With that said, Baili Wuchen motioned to Ling Ye to step forward for execution.
Although Murong Yan looked calm, he knew that Ling Ye was a selfless person.
If this girl falls into his hands, she will probably suffer a lot.
After all, he felt a little compassion for the girl who shared his sorrow.
Ling Ye didn't hesitate, he raised his long whip and was about to hit him.
But he was grabbed by Murong Yan.
"Wait a minute, let me ask her again!"
Then he looked at the girl anxiously and said, "Why are you so stubborn? If the group of people behind you still care about your life and death, then they will not let you rush up the mountain alone today!"
When they learned the news, they also sent people down the mountain to inquire about the whereabouts of these people.
As for the people who reported back, it turned out that these wine merchants had a small group.
But this morning, all those people left the holy city.
Now even if they send people to chase them, they may have lost their whereabouts long ago.
This girl is just a smoke bomb they left behind to divert their attention and delay so that those people can escape.
To put it bluntly, she is just an abandoned child.
The woman bit her lips tightly, her eyes filled with water.
Lin Mengya saw that the preparation was almost complete, so she became even more angry.
"Girl, I don't know what the grudges are between you and me. But everything can be discussed. Why don't we talk about it calmly? Maybe there is some misunderstanding."
Although she is beautiful, her gentleness makes it easy for people to let down their guard.
The woman's eyes looked at her with a bit of bitterness for some reason.
"You won't understand..."
The woman collapsed and closed her eyes, as if accepting her fate but also struggling.
Lin Mengya quickly exchanged a look with her man.
Judging from the girl's words, it is obvious that she has her own reasons.
If that's the case, it's easy to handle.
Lin Mengya's tone became gentler, "I really don't understand, but I also know that you haven't lost your humanity yet."
Then she boldly guessed.
"You didn't kill that man, right?"
The woman suddenly shook her whole body, and then shook her head desperately.
"No! I killed him, I took advantage of him! Later, I was afraid that he would reveal my whereabouts, so I killed him to silence him!"
But Lin Mengya stepped forward and took the woman's right hand.
Everyone saw that the woman's palms were stained with coagulated blood.
Lin Mengya slowed down and then said softly: "Your dominant hand is your right hand. If it was really you who killed the person at that time, then your right hand should be holding the weapon tightly, so there shouldn't be so much in your palm." Blood."
The woman waved her hand, trying to wipe away the blood on her hand.
While wiping, he yelled: "I'm the one who killed him, it's me!"
These words were understood by several people in the execution room.
She was protecting someone.
Murong Yan looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't bear it after all.
Turning back, he said to Lin Mengya and his wife, "I think let's forget about this matter. After all, she may not know much."
This is Murong Yan's pioneering words.
But Lin Mengya couldn't let her go.
After all, she promised the little girl to find her father's killer.
Lowering her eyes, she said after a long while: "I'm sorry. If she doesn't tell the truth, I can only regard her as a murderer. It is only natural to kill people to pay off debts and money."
Murong Yan knew that there was no room for change, so he could only take a deep look at the woman and sighed.
The woman kept her head lowered and did not dare to look at Murong Yan.
The ambiguous friendship between the two completely dissipated at any time.
"That's all. You can do whatever you want, but please don't embarrass her too much."
Murong Yan's plea seemed a little feeble.
He knew that if he begged the couple, he might not be able to find a way out for the girl.
But if you do this, you will trap your brother in injustice.
Before leaving, Murong Yan turned his back to the girl and said sincerely: "No matter who the person you want to protect is, as long as he still has any conscience, he should come to save you."
The girl who had been lowering her head just showed a wry smile when she heard this.
After a long time, she said softly to the empty torture room.
"sorry."
Interrogating the girl yielded no results, which was nothing to Lin Mengya.
Murong Yan, on the other hand, said he was fine, but in fact he was depressed for a few days.
It's a pity that the things before him were too much, which washed away his sadness.
The death of the empress is still a big knife hanging over their heads.
Even if Murong Yan believed in them, others might not.
Murong Yan personally confirmed that the person who met Hou Zun before was not him.
Indeed, if the emperor already knew that he was here, he would at least find a way to get him out.
She loved Murong Yan so much, how could she be willing to watch her child suffer
Unexpectedly, things reached a deadlock again.
In fact, they all suspected that the other party drew their attention to the fifth floor just to find out Murong Yan and put the blame on him.
At Murong Yan's insistence, they took him to the coffin of the empress.
Murong Yan, who was disguised as an attendant, had red eyes when he saw his mother's body.
He clenched his fists tightly, his emotions collapsed and he couldn't control himself.
"Mother, all children are unfilial!"
He knelt in front of his mother's coffin, trying hard to control his voice.
Since he was a child, his mother has always taken him as her top priority.
But in the end, he never even saw the last side of his mother.
He claimed that he ran away for the sake of the peace of the world.
But they ignored that in fact, all the mother's starting points were because of her love for herself.
Everyone in the world can say something bad about his mother, but he alone should not feel the slightest bit of resentment.
However, the past cannot be recalled. All he can do now is to find out the real culprit behind the murder of his mother!
He wiped away a few tears fiercely. The pain of losing his mother made Murong Yan a little more tenacious and resolute.
He looked at Long Tianyu again and told him his request.
"I hope you can promise me to let me follow you to investigate this matter."
Long Tianyu had no reason to refuse this request.
But now all the clues point to Murong Yan, and he must change his identity.
"It's okay to agree to it, but you also have to agree to one condition."
Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu had a clear understanding of each other and whispered: "In addition to not revealing your identity yourself, you must listen to his words and not act impulsively."
Can
It is said that the ups and downs of the past six months have polished the last innocence in Murong Yan's character into sharp edges.
Although this is not a bad thing for Murong Yan, it may make him too impulsive.
When the time comes, it is only a small thing to alert the snake, but it will disrupt the overall arrangement of the big guy, so it is better to let him wait for the final result.
Murong Yan nodded deeply without thinking.
Long Tianyu's eyes at him also softened a lot, and the two brothers finally cleared up their past grievances.
"Have you finished paying your respects? When the queen is in front of her, you are not kind-hearted. After her death, you will be disturbed by you. Do you people still have any respect for her?"
Outside the cave, the old woman's insults came again.
Every time they come, the other party does the same thing.
Murong Yan lowered his head and hid it behind the two of them.
After that, the old nanny rushed in furiously.
"Hurry up and leave! Don't think that this is your place and you can do whatever you want! I tell you, old lady, even if I risk my own life, I will never let you hurt the empress again!"
The other party's obvious hostility did not bring any substantial harm.
And in order to protect Murong Yan, they ignored the old nanny and left the cave.
Once outside, Lin Mengya rubbed her arms to drive away the coolness in the cave.
At the same time, Long Tianyu immediately untied his coat and hugged her into his arms.
Lin Mengya gently pushed the other person, indicating that he still had outsiders after all.
Unexpectedly, Long Tianyu hugged her even tighter.
"Ahem, don't be angry with the nanny you met inside just now. She is the old nanny next to my mother, and my mother usually trusts her the most. That's why she is so excited."
Of course Lin Mengya would not argue with an old lady.
But when she heard this sentence, she subconsciously asked.
"Then since the empress trusts her so much, could it be that she poisoned her food?"
That drug was indeed suspicious.
If it is ruled out that the empress took it voluntarily, then there is another possibility.
The queen was deceived!
She had no idea that this was poison that could kill her.
But Murong Yan shook his head and said resolutely: "Impossible! This nanny has a deep relationship with my mother, and her family was arranged by my mother. Regardless of their master-servant relationship, she I don’t dare to joke with my family’s lives.”
I see.
The thought that just arose was dismissed again, and Lin Mengya sighed quietly.
Now, there is only one last clue left that can be traced.
That is, who was the young man who met the Queen Mother that day
After returning from the cave, Murong Yan was not in a hurry to do anything.
Instead, he followed the couple and listened to their various speculations about the murderer.
I have to say that Murong Yan's participation is still very effective.
At least he has an irreplaceable role in understanding Hou Zun.
After eliminating many distractions, they initially came up with some new ideas.
According to Murong Yan, although the queen was ambitious, she was a very traditional woman.
In other words, this person absolutely cannot be her lover or anything like that.
And in recent years, all her energy has been focused on fighting for power.
The person who allows her to risk meeting must be someone who can help her!
