Chapter 477 Convicted
Duanmuyue's forehead was covered with cold sweat, he didn't dare to look up at the emperor, but kept trembling, and kept repeating: "Father, please forgive me, father, please forgive me."

The emperor's eyes were full of haze, and he gritted his teeth and spit out four words: "There is no forgiveness for this crime!"

Duanmuyue let out a cry, and collapsed on the ground, his crotch was so wet that he peed on his pants. He suddenly burst into tears, crawled to Duanmuxu's feet, pulled Duanmuxu's clothes, and said, "Fifth Brother , fifth brother, you save me, save me, I don't want to die."

Duanmuyue's actions immediately attracted everyone's suspicious eyes. Duanmuyue didn't look for anyone but Duanmuxu. If they said that the two had a good relationship, who would believe it? There must be tricks in it.

Duanmu Xu broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't want to be dragged into the water by Duanmuyue, he quickly pulled Duanmuyue's sleeve and said, "Sixteenth brother, I don't want anything to happen to you, but you have to understand that you have violated the law of the country. , fifth brother, I can't save you either."

As he spoke, he held Duanmu Yue's arm, squeezed it lightly, frowned slightly, and cast a look at Duanmu Yue.

Duanmuyue understood, immediately let go of Duanmuxu's clothes, and said to the emperor: "Father, one person does things and one person is in charge. Father and son are confused for a while, so they do such outrageous things. Father , give this son another chance, I dare not, Father, please forgive me."

The emperor looked at Duanmuyue, his eyes were full of disappointment. The most unbearable thing for the incumbent was someone threatening his country, not even his own son. Duanmuyue could do anything wrong, because he was the emperor. His son, but he absolutely shouldn't, he shouldn't make fun of his own country, the emperor will never let him go.

The emperor's eyes darkened, and he said in a cold tone: "The emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. As a prince, you know that you violated the law. If I don't punish you, how can you obey the world and kill without mercy!"

As soon as the words fell, Duanmuyue burst into tears immediately, he shook his head and said: "Father, please forgive me, Father, I don't want to die."

At the time of Duanmuyue, someone coughed, it was Duanmu Ze, he stood up, his face was pale, he looked like a terminally ill and weak prince, he walked out with Wang Chenyang's support, and said to the emperor, "Father Your Majesty, Brother Sixteen has indeed done something treacherous and immoral, but I beg my father to read that Brother Sixteen is still young and did not cause too serious consequences, but I beg Father to save Brother Sixteen's life."

No one expected that at such a time, Duan Muze would stand up and speak for Duan Muyue. Smart people know to avoid the limelight, but Duan Muze is lucky to touch this brow. He and Duan Muyue don't have a good relationship on weekdays. If it is agreed, Duanmuyue and Duanmuxu walk the closest on weekdays. At the critical moment, Duanmuxu did not come out to speak for Duanmuyue.

"What did you say?" The emperor was just getting started. He didn't expect Duanmu Ze to stand up and intercede for Duanmu Yue. If he didn't know how useless his son is, it would be impossible for him to participate in salt smuggling. He would have doubted whether Duanmu Ze was Knowing and breaking the law like Duanmu Yue?

Seeing that the emperor brought his anger to him, Duanmu Ze seemed to be a little scared, but he still pleaded for Duanmu Yue, but his voice was a little weaker, and said: "Father, Brother Sixteen and I are brothers, I really can't bear it." Watching Brother Sixteen die, I beg Father to spare Brother Sixteen's life."

Duanmuyue looked at Duanmuze gratefully. He never thought that when he was isolated and helpless, the only person who stood up to speak for him was Duanmuze. Thinking about the past, he had bullied Duanmuze more than once. He never thought that he would repay kindness with hatred , and even pleaded for himself.

Thinking about Duan Muxu, not only did he not plead for himself, but instead he was thinking about how to get himself out, thinking about it made him feel chilled.

The emperor looked at Duanmu Ze with terrifying eyes, and said, "I said before that the emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, didn't you understand?"

Duan Muze made a sound, nodded and said: "I know, I just don't want to see Brother Sixteen die."

The emperor snorted coldly, and said: "I'll give you another chance to take back what you said, I just don't care about you, get up."

But Duanmuze didn't move, still kneeling.

The emperor was furious, and when he was about to get angry, someone stood up again, went to Duan Muze and knelt down together, and said to the emperor: "Father, think twice, the sixteenth brother is the biological son of the father, please forgive me!" His life."

The person who stood up this time was Duanmu Kai, the tenth prince. He stood in the crowd for a long time and wanted to stand up a long time ago, but was dragged by others, and finally broke free, and accompanied Duanmu Ze to intercede for Duanmu Yue.

Once there was one, there would be a second, a third, and the other princes, whether they were sincere or not, all knelt down and pleaded for Duanmu Yue.

With the prince taking the lead, many ministers also knelt down to plead for mercy. Duanmu Xu stood there, seeing everyone kneeling down, standing there alone was very awkward, so he also knelt down, pleading for Duanmuyue against his will.

The emperor was about to die of anger, and said with a bulging chest, "Okay, okay, you are all going to rebel, right?"

"I dare not wait."

The emperor sneered and said, "You don't dare, why don't you dare?"

"Since you want to intercede for him, I will fulfill you, you all die with Duanmuyue," the emperor said harshly, and when he was about to give an order, a person spoke, and his voice made the emperor angry All of a sudden, he calmed down: "Your Majesty, think twice."

Ling Su stood there, he did not plead for Duanmuyue, so standing there, he did not feel abrupt, but calmly swept around those kneeling people, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Sixteenth Prince is indeed It’s not right, but Nian is young and energetic, and is easily seduced by people around him, so it’s inevitable to make some mistakes.”

The emperor looked at Ling Su and asked, "Ling Qing's family seems to have something to say."

Ling Su still chuckled lightly, and said: "Your Majesty, there is a saying that some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, when you pull a carrot and there is still mud."

The emperor frowned deeply after hearing Ling Su's words. Ling Su was reminding him that there were other people on the same boat as Duanmuyue. He frowned slightly, and then said: "Salt smuggling on the water , involves a lot of things, don't be hasty, you need to think long-term, Duanmuyue has been charged with the crime, and he will be temporarily detained in the prison for retrial."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, all the officials shouted: "The emperor is holy."

Duanmu Xu knelt in it, and there was another burst of cold sweat on his forehead. Duanmuyue is not dead, he is afraid that he will be dragged out, so he must think of a countermeasure.
