Chapter 312 The crime of deceiving the emperor

The day was relatively calm, but Su Ge still couldn't figure out whether this incident was related to Xiqing.

Nothing major happened afterwards, and we arrived in Yongzhou safely.

But the other side was not so peaceful.

"Who asked you to do this?"

He Ru sat in the main seat, surrounded by the aura of a superior that had accumulated over the years. No one in the tent dared to disregard her words, let alone the person kneeling on the ground.

The maid was shaking like a sieve, her eyes searching constantly, but she didn't dare to look at the person above, trying to find the person who could save her from the dire situation.

A person walked out from behind the screen, and she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She rolled and crawled to the person's side, pulling the person's skirt and shaking it hard.

"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"

He Ru looked at him coldly, then stood up and gave up the main seat. She wanted to see how he would handle this matter.

How could Qin Yun receive her dangerous gaze?

He kicked the man away without hesitation, and helped He Ru to sit in the main seat again. He stroked her back with his hand, but He Ru dodged it and looked at him straight, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"A sixth-rank official, the Imperial Observatory's supervisor, failed to properly educate his daughter, defied the emperor's grace, and committed treason. He will be dismissed and sent back to his hometown, and his three generations will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examinations..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, all the mistakes are my fault. The disaster will not affect my family. Please have mercy on me."

Qin Yunqi's words were interrupted, and his brows were furrowed in anger. He didn't care whether she was bleeding or not. These people really thought he was a soft persimmon. Such a thing happened so close to the wedding date. It was disgusting enough.

"Hong, the daughter of the Imperial Observatory's chief judge, will be executed in the afternoon."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The voice gradually faded away. Everyone knew why they had to keep her until the afternoon. They didn't have much time, so there was no time to waste here.

"Pass the order on! All officials must discipline their children. If they continue to do such things that bring disgrace upon their families and undermine the morals of the nation, their consequences will be more than just the lenient sentence handed down by the Imperial Observatory today."

Afterwards, there were always people who were self-righteous, and He Ru's reputation for jealousy spread. Even the ceremony of crowning the queen shortly afterwards was questioned, and many officials were willing to die for her advice.

But Xiqing is now thriving, and how many people are eagerly watching, waiting for these old guys to step down and the country will finally be the era of the young.

Therefore, their stubborn and conservative characteristics do not seem so scary.

There were only a few prisoners in the temporary prison cell at the Ministry of Justice. The woman's body was already covered with whip marks, and the sound of whipping still lingered around her. "Will you tell me? Will you tell me?"

His hands were stained black with blood, and every time he whipped them, it seemed to dig into the skin and pull out pieces of flesh.

As if he'd had enough of the woman's screams, the man standing nearby ripped off her tattered clothes and gagged her. He took the whip from the sweating man and said, "Take a break. I'll do it. I'll get you a glass of water."

After he wiped the sweat off his face and walked out, the man whipped the woman's arm fiercely, seemingly avoiding certain places intentionally or unintentionally.

After making sure he was the only one here, he walked over to her, bent the whip, and lifted the woman's chin: "Will you tell me or not?"

The woman's resentful eyes seemed to want to torture him to death.

The man smiled with satisfaction and approached him: "You are quite sensible."

The woman opened her eyes wide, as if she had guessed something. She was no longer dead silent but was struggling frantically.

But the man completely ignored her movements, pointed his fingers at her lower abdomen, and his sharp nails scratched across, causing a stinging pain.

"You must think carefully. Is it better to commit the crime of insubordination or to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor and attempting to confuse the royal bloodline? As long as this evildoer is with you, you will only end up dead."

The woman gradually calmed down, and the tears that had not shed when she was being tortured now burst out. She was actually looking forward to noon coming soon.

She couldn't bear the risk of being discovered.

He Ruke didn't have time to listen to Qin Yunqi's explanation. If she didn't believe it, she wouldn't give him a chance to explain. She just had to leave him alone. If she really couldn't stand it, it would be better not to start this marriage.

She would not think that such a coincidence would happen at this critical juncture. Whether it was Su Ge's incident or the current incident, it seemed to imply that some people in Xiqing were not so content.

She didn't believe that Huangfu Yang could single-handedly control Xiqing to such an extent. If that were true, Xiqing would be corrupted to an unknown degree.

"An Yun, are you ready?"

An Yun untied the sack in front of him and exposed the unconscious woman in front of her.

"Ready at all the time."

Seeing that he was unreliable, He Ru felt uneasy and hoped that he was not a person who was inconsistent in his appearance and heart.

Soon, a temporary cell.

I don't know which jailer blew a whistle, and soon the situation calmed down.

The head jailer, accompanied by a man, approached the woman and said, "An Ou (xiu), it's OK. So fast."

"Cut the nonsense."

An Ou, one of Qin Yunqi's seven secret guards, was sent to He Ru together with An Yun.

Who would rather see An Yun or An Ying than Qin Yunqi? And An Yun was sent to He Ru openly, which shows Qin Yunqi's attitude.

He Ru was not very confident in them at first, always feeling that it was no different from having two surveillance cameras around him, but at this time the professional ethics of the secret guards were beyond He Ru's imagination.

As a secret guard, their primary duty, and the most fundamental and unbreakable obligation in their lives, is loyalty. They may not have much humanity, but they must be loyal, loyal to their master, their only master.

If one day their master abandons them, they face certain death. Serving a master until death is considered mission accomplished. However, those without a soul might wish for a good rebirth. Of course, they themselves don't know what constitutes a good family, but they hear it so often that they accept it.

This matter seemed to be covered up lightly, but there were always people who felt guilty and checked the body countless times.

Until I see her laid to rest.

The reed flowers fluttered and rolled onto the new soil, as if celebrating the fact that they had a new companion, or a little more nutrients.

Not until the new soil was spread out was the wind swept away all the white reed flowers on the empty ground into a vortex, so white that it glowed.

They gather together and gradually take on a different appearance.

"Why is my pear blossom hairpin with you?"

The pear blossom hairpin was very transparent and flawless in the sunlight. Song Yue thought she had lost it, but she found it here. She couldn't help but tease him, "There's something wrong with you, Thirteen, for hiding my things."
