Chapter 164 The identity of the real murderer
Chapter 164 The identity of the real murderer
"You mother and daughter have always been in the princess's mansion and have never left the mansion, so the rumors are not spread by you."
"That means your master has other means, but in this case, what's the point of your mother and daughter entering the princess's mansion? This is simply unnecessary, and may even be the failure of the entire plan. It seems to be deliberately letting me find flaws."
Every time Shen Yan said something, Hongzhu's face became even more ugly.
She kept staring at Hongzhu's eyes. Gradually, Hongzhu's eyes became a little blank.
"I asked Ye Chi to investigate the source of the rumors. The matter went smoothly, beyond my imagination. It was as if someone had put the clues there. We followed the clues and quickly found Zhang Dazhang Er."
"Zhang Dali and Zhang Er did not deny it. They directly admitted that the rumors were spread by them, and then confessed to you. You then fabricated lies, cooperated with Zhang Dali, and insisted that you overheard the secret of my life experience."
"Actually, Zhang Da didn't enter the princess's mansion at all. The reason why you said the same thing is because you discussed it in advance."
"As for the fact that everyone in the kitchen unanimously said that they didn't see Zhang Da, it doesn't matter anymore, because this is a plan that looks sophisticated but is actually full of loopholes."
"The purpose of this plan is not to really clarify my identity, but to make the emperor doubt me, abandon me, and finally kill me."
Speaking of this, Shen Yan's voice was like falling into an ice cave, "Your master is good at attacking people's hearts. He knows that the emperor is a wise king. He can't kill me as soon as he hears the rumors. As long as the emperor doubts me, your master's The purpose was achieved.”
"Confront me before the emperor. If I don't die, the three of you will die. Your master knows that I won't die, so when he assigned you the task, he already knew your outcome."
"Hongzhu, I'm sorry that you are so infatuated that you risk everything to get close to me, just to make your sweetheart's wish come true. Little do you know that you love him deeply, but he treats your sincerity like dirt and personally pushes you into the abyss! "
When Shen Yan's voice fell, Hongzhu collapsed instantly and shouted, "No! He is not such a person! He will not lie to me! He said he would marry me as his wife when things are done! He always keeps his word!"
"The facts are before our eyes. In order to protect me, the emperor simply stopped pursuing the case and executed the three of you on the spot. Your master is safe, but you are dead."
Shen Yan asked coldly, "Is it useful to deceive yourself and others?"
Hongzhu cried loudly. She had given her true feelings and felt that she had been deceived and used. She was extremely heartbroken.
Zhang Da and Zhang Er are just doing it for money. They have no heartache, only endless anger.
"Whoever among the three of you is the first to reveal the real culprit who framed me, I can ask the emperor to spare your life." Shen Yan said.
Emperor Xuande immediately said, "That's right!"
Those who love the deepest sometimes hate the deepest.
As Shen Yan expected, Hongzhu was the first to speak, "It's Lin Shaoyuan!"
"Who?" Emperor Xuande thought he heard wrongly and asked again.
"It's the commander of the imperial guards, Lin Shaoyuan!" Hongzhu's eyes were still full of tears, but his tone was full of hatred.
"Huaijing, take Lin Shaoyuan with you!" Emperor Xuande said angrily.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xie Huaijing turned around and walked out.
When Shen Yan heard Lin Shaoyuan's name, she was not too surprised.
She had read the letter sent by Hongzhu that day, and from her heart, she had already guessed that it was Lin Shaoyuan.
However, Lin Shaoyuan had a special status. He was a close confidant of Emperor Xuande.
This name must come from the mouth of any one of Hongzhu and the other three, and it must not come from Shen Yan's mouth.
During the break with Lin Shaoyuan, there was a dead silence in the royal study room, so quiet that it was suffocating.
After a while, Xie Huaijing escorted Lin Shaoyuan into the palace.
Lin Shaoyuan happened to be on duty today. He was wearing the unique costume of the commander of the Imperial Guard, with a sword hanging from his waist, and his brows were still filled with confidence and majesty.
"I have met the emperor." Lin Shaoyuan knelt on the ground and saluted. By chance, he knelt beside Hongzhu.
From the moment he entered the royal study until he was kneeling side by side with Hongzhu, he didn't even look at Hongzhu.
On the contrary, Hongzhu looked at him dreamily, her eyes full of thousands of emotions, love, hatred, confusion, unwillingness...
Emperor Xuande looked at Lin Shaoyuan, a person he trusted extremely.
If Lin Shaoyuan leads the imperial guards and cooperates with the external enemies, the entire palace will fall in a very short period of time.
"Lin Shaoyuan, why did you frame Princess Anping?" Emperor Xuande was furious. Although it was Shen Yan who was framed, he also felt betrayed.
Shen Yan was someone he trusted, and to touch Shen Yan would be to stand on his opposite side.
"Your Majesty, I have not framed Princess Anping. I have always respected Princess Anping..."
"Hongzhu has already done it! Do you still want to quibble?" Emperor Xuande interrupted Lin Shaoyuan sharply.
At this time, Lin Shaoyuan looked at Hongzhu. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he couldn't believe it.
Maybe everyone would betray him, but he believed Hongzhu would not.
After all, Hongzhu is an orphan he picked up since he was a child. He has always kept him by his side and loves him deeply.
Moreover, Hongzhu also said that if one day, her life needs to be used to protect him, she will give her life without hesitation.
How could she forget what she said herself?
Lin Shaoyuan just looked at Hongzhu coldly without saying a word.
However, even if he didn't speak, Hongzhu knew what he was thinking.
"Yes, I confessed to you." Hongzhu's tone was very calm, and there was even a smile on his lips.
"Sir, Princess Anping said that you set up this situation because you regarded me as an abandoned son who must die, right?"
She knew the answer, but she was unwilling to do so. She wanted to hear the answer from Lin Shaoyuan.
"You have betrayed me, what's the point of asking now?" Lin Shaoyuan's tone was also calm.
Hongzhu became anxious and raised his voice, "Of course it makes sense!"
She wished that Lin Shaoyuan would get angry with her, blame her, scold her, and hit her.
However, Lin Shaoyuan's indifference proved that he never cared about her, and even if she betrayed him, he wouldn't care.
"Sir, please, for the sake of me following you for so many years, tell me, did you already know that I would die when you set up the trap?"
Hongzhu burst into tears. She begged, angry and unwilling. She looked so pitiful.
Lin Shaoyuan did not answer her. He looked away from her and looked at Emperor Xuande, "Your Majesty, I framed Princess Anping and am willing to accept the punishment. Please punish me."
Before Emperor Xuande could speak, Hongzhu went completely crazy, "Lin Shaoyuan, are you doing all this for her? Yes..."
hiss!
Before Hongzhu finished speaking, Lin Shaoyuan had already pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed Hongzhu in the chest, giving her no chance of survival.
Hongzhu looked shocked, then immediately relieved. In the adult world, sometimes not answering is the answer.
Finally, as she was dying, a smile appeared on her lips.
She died in the hands of Lin Shaoyuan.
From now on, if Lin Shaoyuan is still alive, he will kill her with his own hands and remember her forever.
If Lin Shaoyuan died, as it happened, she would go to the underworld to renew their relationship with Lin Shaoyuan. That man would still be alive, so he couldn't compete with her, right?
The sword in Lin Shaoyuan's hand turned in a circle inside Hongzhu's body. This was the punishment for Hongzhu's last words.
He was worried that Shen Yan would save Hongzhu, so he asked who the "she" Hongzhu mentioned in the end was?
After he was sure that Hongzhu was completely dead, he pulled out the sword.
Looking at Hongzhu lying in a pool of blood, his eyes were cold and he said in an extremely small voice, "No one can hurt her! No one can!"
The moment Lin Shaoyuan drew his sword, all the guards surrounded him and trapped him in the middle, fearing that he would harm Emperor Xuande.
Emperor Xuande was furious when he saw Lin Shaoyuan murder and silence him, "Lin Shaoyuan! Put down the sword!"
Lin Shaoyuan knelt on the ground with a thud, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my loyalty to you. What happened today was all my fault and has nothing to do with anyone else."
After he finished speaking, he raised his sword and cut it directly on his neck.
In an instant, blood spurted out, and he fell backwards to the ground with a smile on his lips.
Shen Yan immediately came to rescue, but Lin Shaoyuan only wanted to die and had no desire to live.
