All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Everyone turned their heads when they heard the sound, and they saw Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Cheng'en, standing at the gate of the palace with her face pale and precariously supported by someone.

Cheng Engong Mu Tiangang's face darkened, standing beside Zhou, and Mu Huai'an followed behind them.

Apparently, the three of them came to Yuxiu Palace after seeing the commotion in the abandoned palace.

Behind them, several Habayashi guards followed, looking at a loss, wanting to stop but not daring to stop.

Dong Lixin's face darkened, and he stood up.

The outside of Yuxiu Palace was still guarded by Habayashi Guards, so letting people in like this was obviously negligent of duty by him, the Deputy Commander of Habayashi Guards.

But this person has already stood at the gate of the palace, he can't... just drive him back.

The other party is Cheng Engong's family.

"Daddy, Mommy!"

Seeing Cheng Engong and his wife, Mu Xue'e's soul cried out with a "wow" and floated towards them.

"Aniang, my daughter is dead, and I will no longer be able to perform my filial piety in front of you...Daughter is so regretful, so regretful!"

Her air-like soul body hugged Mrs. Zhou, crying loudly.

But Mrs. Zhou knew nothing about it.

Just as Dong Lixin was hesitating whether to stop him, Mrs. Zhou staggered to Danzhu.

"You said just now that Xue'e was killed by this vixen, but is it true?"

Danzhu fell on the ground, "Everything said by the maidservant is true, that is, Li Yuejiao stabbed the county lord to death with a hairpin. If the madam doesn't believe it, you can ask Wu Zuo to do an autopsy on the county lord..."

When Mu Xue'e heard this, she choked with tears and looked up from Mrs. Zhou's arms.

She looked at Danzhu with a hint of sadness.

"You bitch, dare to harm my daughter."

Mrs. Zhou couldn't care less about the autopsy, she let out a wail, and rushed towards Li Yuejiao!
"I will kill you today, to avenge my daughter!" With scarlet eyes, she pinched Li Yuejiao's neck fiercely, "You damned fox, pay for my daughter's life! Pay for my life! Pay for my life!"

None of the people present expected that Mrs. Zhou, a lady of the first rank, would suddenly explode and hurt others.

Shen Lingxi was the closest to them, and when she saw this, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to stop——
But Danzhu next to her was one step ahead of her and rushed forward.

"Madam...Madam...Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive..." She cried and reached out to cover Madam Zhou's hand, "Madam, even if she killed the county lord, she will be punished by the king's law. Madam, think about the county lord, the county lord has died so badly, you must not be impulsive, the county lord will feel sorry for Madam..."

At the same time, the embroidered clothes envoy still didn't make any movement, but the guards of the guards behind Cheng Engong and his wife swarmed up in a panic.

She actually pushed Shen Lingxi away from Mrs. Zhou and Li Yuejiao.

Shen Lingxi narrowed her almond eyes slightly.

Danzhu is wrong, and these Habayashi guards are also wrong.

From the gap in the crowd, she saw Li Yuejiao's face flushed because she couldn't breathe——
"Quick! Stop Danzhu quickly! She's going to kill Li Yuejiao and blame my aunt!" Mu Xue'e shouted anxiously at Shen Lingxi.

Shen Lingxi ordered directly in a deep voice: "Embroiderer, pull Habayashi Wei away!"

As soon as the words fell, the embroidered envoys, including Chun Jun, who had been watching coldly, moved out instantly, and within a few breaths, several Habayashi guards were kicked away by the embroidered envoys.

Shen Lingxi took the opportunity to take two steps forward, reached out to grab Danzhu's arm, only heard two crisp joints of "click, click", and took off Danzhu's arm.

"Ah..." Danzhu let out a scream unexpectedly.

At the moment when she lost the strength in her hands, the strength in Mrs. Zhou's hands was obviously much weaker.

With all her strength, Li Yuejiao pushed Mrs. Zhou away fiercely, broke free from her hand, and fell on the back of the chair, coughing deeply.

"Cough...cough...cough..." On the slender and fair neck, there were already red fingerprints.

The whole incident happened quickly and quickly, except for Chu Yan who had a cold face, Mu Huai'an who was watching indifferently, and Shen Lingxi, everyone on the scene was shocked by this incident.

"Habayashi guard behaves so well, it's no wonder that people die so easily in the palace." Chu Yan said in a cold tone.

Dong Lixin's scalp tightened, and he quickly knelt down to plead guilty: "It's my subordinate who has no way to control me, please punish me, Your Highness."

Cheng Engong Mu Tiangang's complexion was also very ugly, he clasped his fists and saluted and said: "My wife is disrespectful, please punish me, Your Highness."

Mrs. Zhou was pushed hard by Li Yuejiao, she fell to the ground, and saw Danzhu being beaten by Shen Lingxi, she was so painful that she broke out in a cold sweat on the ground.

She was so angry and hated that she cried bitterly.

"My poor daughter...you are the one who provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked. This Daoist Master Miaoling is on the same side as Li Yuejiao, that foxy son...she has noble people behind her, so you gave your life in vain ah……"

"Xue'e... Auntie, I'm sorry... If I knew this, I shouldn't have sent you into the palace. Your heart is for Mingyue, but Mingyue shines in the ditch... Letting you be bullied by those foxes for nothing, you now If you are dead, they will not spare even the loyal servants around you..."

"Xue'e, it's Aniang, Mrs. Cheng'en, who has no ability to avenge you. Aniang is wrong, wrong..."

Although she didn't name her name, anyone with a discerning eye would know who the "noble man and Mingyue" and "ditch and Humeizi" she was talking about were.

Cheng Engong looked at her in disbelief, and realized for the first time that his wife, who had always been considered reasonable, would be so foolish and rush to die before the truth became known.

Eunuch Zhu and Aunt Liu on the side, because of Madam Zhou's words, also secretly sweated for her.

Does she know who the emperor's grandson sitting at the top is?
If I think about it, even if I know it, I'm afraid it's because I'm a foreign relative, so I understand it too superficially, and feel that everyone has to look at the Queen's face and tolerate her.

Dong Lixin hurriedly fell on the ground, this one was let in by his people, and he could not absolve himself of the responsibility for angering the emperor's grandson.

Listening to Mrs. Zhou's cry, Shen Lingxi frowned.

After the trouble just now, she already had a clue about this case.

She was all focused on this case, and she didn't pay attention to Mrs. Zhou's insinuating slander.

After all, the truth of the case came to light, and the clown would only be Mrs. Zhou herself, and this was the biggest slap in the face.

Although Shen Lingxi thought so, Chu Yan didn't think so.

Chu Yan stood up from the top, and the fierce evil spirit permeated the whole body wantonly.

Mrs. Zhou only felt that she was surrounded by a terrible coldness, which made her cry.

She raised her eyes, and saw Chu Yan walking towards her step by step, with deep and fierce eyes, carrying a biting power.

Mrs. Zhou shuddered, only then did she realize that the person in front of her was by no means someone she could slander and offend at will.

But her awakening was already too late.

Chu Yan stood beside Shen Lingxi, protecting her petite figure behind him.

His cold phoenix eyes drooped slightly, looking at Madam Zhou.

"Earlier, in front of Gu, you repeatedly uttered shameless words. Gu thought that your beloved daughter's new funeral didn't bother you. I never thought that even though you were lawless, you dared to intentionally hurt others and yell at the court in front of Gu."

Mrs. Zhou was so frightened that she hurriedly fell to the ground, "Your Highness, it was my concubine who was disrespectful, please, please look at it, for the empress's sake..."

"It is for the empress's sake that I want to teach you a lesson, so that you will not be arrogant and domineering in the future and bring down the entire Mu clan."

Chu Yan even mentioned "Mu's family", obviously he has extremely disgusted with Zhou's.

Mu Tiangang and Mu Huai'an knelt on the ground together.

Mrs. Zhou was trembling all over, shaking like a sieve.

Chu Yan said in a deep voice: "Cheng'en Gong's wife, Mrs. Zhou, intends to hurt others. According to the "Great Zhou Law", she should be punished with forty floggings."

He looked up at Aunt Liu, "Since Aunt Liu is in charge of the empress, she is naturally responsible for punishing the queen's wife, so Aunt Liu will carry out the execution."

Aunt Liu didn't dare to disobey her orders, so she asked for instructions: "I don't know where Your Highness will order the servants to be executed..."

Chu Yan reached out and grabbed Shen Lingxi's sleeve, turned around and led her back to the top.

He ordered in a cold voice: "Right here, fight first, and then interrogate after the fight."

"Bring Mu Xue'e's body to Yuxiu Palace."

The criminal laws all refer to the laws of the Tang Dynasty. In a fight, whoever beats someone with hands and feet shall be punished with forty canes;For those who injure more than one inch of hair, the cane is eighty.Seeing blood causes injury.In fact, Mu Xue'e was lynched with utensils, which can be punished with sixty rods.
