Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

Chapter 98: Cross-examination

With a chorus of footsteps, the soldiers rushed up and down.

Yaoying glanced downstairs and saw that all the guards brought by Zhu Luyun were subdued. She let go of Zhu Luyun, took out a few pieces of parchment, and spread them out on the long case.

Zhu Luyun was so frightened that Liushen Wuzhu watched her let go, turned around to flee, and was stopped by the soldiers as soon as she ran a step.

"Since the princess begged to see our princess several times, why did she leave in a hurry?"

The soldiers laughed grinningly, and sat down in front of the open window under Zhu Luyun.

Yaoying sat opposite Zhu Luyun, without raising her eyelids, holding a dagger in her right hand, and a little bit of parchment in her left hand, "Let her draw it."

The soldier agreed, raised Zhu Luyun's hand, and forced her to press the stamp on each piece of parchment.

Zhu Luyun struggled a few times, unable to move, seeing her fingerprints on the parchment.

Lightning and sparking, all in one go.

Yuanjue hadn't been relieved from the consternation, Zhu Luyun also had a panic on her face, Yaoying had already taken away all the parchment, examined it carefully, and handed it to Yuanjue.

"Princess Bei Rong intended to take advantage of the envoy of the royal court to harm me, but was arrested on the spot by my soldiers. The evidence is in black and white, and the evidence is conclusive."

Zhu Luyun could understand some nonsense, and her face turned pale suddenly: "Qiniang, you framed me!"

Yaoying smiled faintly, raised her dagger, and pierced Zhu Luyun's hand against the long case.

The knife is dazzling, as fast as IP.

Zhu Luyun flew away and screamed in shock.

With a hum, the dagger rubbed the back of Zhu Luyun's hand and nailed it to her sleeve.

Yaoying raised her eyes slightly, looking at Zhu Luyun's fearful eyes, and gently drew her dagger. The sharp point of the knife cut through Zhu Luyun's sleeves.

"Yes, I'm just framing you."

In the rustling sound of the sharp blade cutting through the fabric, Yaoying said, "I can still kill you here."

Zhu Luyun was frightened and calmed herself: "Qiniang, I am now Princess Bei Rong. If you kill me, Bei Rong will not give up."

Yaoying’s lips curled up: “You’ve been to the royal court, and you have asked me several times in the name of Princess Fukang. I promised to come and meet Princess Fukang instead of Princess Beirong. Zhu Luyun, I am not from the royal court, and this is not a royal temple. , It’s not a post house, you and I are deceased to meet, I kill you, I can be held accountable by myself."

She changed the subject, "Bei Rong's missions to other countries have always had principals and deputy envoys, mostly officials and noble children. You are going to the royal court this time, but Bei Rong did not send officials of noble origin to accompany you. For Bei Rong, it is just a pawn, and Bei Rong will never go to war with the royal court for you."

Zhu Luyun was silent for a while, and tremblingly said: "Kill me, you have to lose your life, Qiniang, are you crazy?"

Yaoying gently rubbed the dagger with her finger, and said, "If I was moved by what you and your aunt said, thinking that you really came to redeem me and compensate me, that would be crazy."

Zhu Luyun bit her lip, her face pale.

Yaoying raised her head to look at Yuanjue: "I put things away."

Yuanjue was holding Zhu Luyun's "criminal evidence" in his hand, and was in a dilemma.

Wang said that Princess Wen Zhao knows proper measure. Is this proper measure? !

Do you want to stop it? But the princess doesn't seem to hurt people...If the king is here, will the princess constrain a little? The princess doesn't seem to be afraid of the king...

Yuanjue stood dazedly, and his chin couldn't close for a long time because of the fighting between heaven and human in his head.

At this time, there was a shout from downstairs.

The corner of Yaoying's mouth tilted slightly, and she took a dagger and patted Zhu Luyun's hand lightly: "Look downstairs."

Zhu Luyun shuddered, looking downstairs, her eyes widened.

Downstairs, the guard dragged Zhu Luyun's guards into the snow, and knelt down. Among them was the Han guard who had frequent eye contact with Zhu Luyun. Quasi-Guardian.

Zhu Luyun tremblingly asked, "Qiniang, what do you want to do?"

Yaoying took the time to say: "I will ask you a few questions. Your guard needs to answer the same question. As long as you have different answers, it means that some of you must be lying, and I will ask you to cut off your guard. One of their fingers, theirs was chopped off, and the next one is yours."

Zhu Luyun trembled, "Qiniang, I am really sorry for you, but I really didn't mean to harm you! I can swear by the heavens that I am not malicious to you! My aunt told me that Wang Tingren hates Han people and will not treat you sincerely. , Buddha is a monk, and you have nowhere to go after one year... I am a Han, you are also a Han, you and I are in a foreign land, it is better to let go of your previous suspicions... Are you imprisoned by Haidu Aling? Ever? Don’t be afraid, Haidu Aling is afraid of my uncle. As long as my uncle speaks, Haidu Aling will not dare to..."

Before Zhu Luyun could finish speaking, Yaoying stood up, and put the dagger in her face into her face.

The icy tip of the knife approached, and Zhu Luyun backed away in horror.

Yaoying smiled, "You are a Han, so I should believe you? I have left Chang'an for more than two years. There are good people and bad people, whether they are Han people or nonsense people. I have met many good people, and I have also met Many gangsters have made many new friends. People who are good to me, whether they are Han people or nonsense, I repay with sincerity. I remember the gangsters who have harmed me clearly."

She leaned over and patted Zhu Luyun's face with the back of the knife.

"Zhu Luyun, if you really regret it and know what has happened to me in the past few years, you won't be so stupid to think that you can move me with a few simple words."

Yaoying looked straight into Zhu Luyun's eyes.

"You didn't bother to inquire about my situation. In your eyes, I was just a fourteen-year-old who was forced to make a relationship. When I saw a deceased from the Central Plains, I cried and cried. Hearing a few promises, I will settle my suspicion with you. Please be with you. Aunty rescued me from Xiao Qiniang in the sea of ​​suffering, didn't she?"

Zhu Luyun was speechless.

...

Back then, after Li De and Li Xuanzhen rescued Zhu Luyun, they were obedient to her. All her requirements were met. She was the best in terms of food and clothing, and all the girls in the Li family had to stay behind. Li Yaoying is frail and sickly. She lived with Li Zhongqian in Jingnan for many years. She was busy with Li Xuanzhen and didn't know much about Li Yaoying, but she only heard that Qiniang was a beauty.

Later, Li De defeated powerful enemies one by one and became the overlord of the Central Plains. Li Yaoying was getting older, and the name of beauty spread throughout Guanzhong. Zhu Luyun met her several times at the banquet and found that she was indeed as beautiful as the legend has it. At that time, Zhu Luyun was full of hatred towards the Li family and had no friendship with Li Yaoying.

Before and after Li De claimed the emperor, the conflict between Li Xuanzhen and Li Zhongqian became deeper and deeper. The staff led by Wei Ming frequently fought against Li Yaoying. Zhu Luyun ran into Li Xuanzhen and Wei Ming several times because of Li Yaoying.

At that time, she still didn't care about Li's Qiniang.

Later, Zhu Luyun and Li Xuanzhen were angry, and they were bewitched by their aunt's loyal servants. In grief and anger, they agreed to make a relationship. Then they repented. In order to keep her, Li Xuanzhen and his staff let the lecherous Chief Yelu see the beauty of the world at the Buddha's Birthday Ceremony. Li Yaoying...

After several twists and turns, Li Yaoying replaced Zhu Luyun and married, Zhu Luyun breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought it was all over.

Li Xuanzhen hated Concubine Xie deeply, and also hated Li Yaoying. Using his enemy's daughter to marry her, it happened to kill two birds with one stone. She could also watch Li Yaoying marry away with peace of mind.

However, after Li Yaoying got married, Li Xuanzhen kept her face calm all day long, not at all like a show of revenge.

Zhu Luyun knew that she was capricious and vacillated between hatred and rejuvenation, which made Li Xuanzhen very embarrassed. He would rather push his sister into the fire pit by private means and leave her behind. She was deeply moved, and when the crown prince Zheng Biyu forced her When she entered the East Palace, she resisted and struggled for a few days, and began to waver, thinking: Why don't she let it go, Li Xuanzhen saved her, and she didn't expect it to repay him, so she repaid him with her body.

Li Xuanzhen did not touch her.

Zhu Luyun cried all night.

She didn't know what happened. Li Xuanzhen was her enemy. She should be happy if he didn't touch her. Wasn't she just because she hated the Li family that she refused to marry him these years?

Why did Li Xuanzhen burst into tears when she would rather spend the whole night in the next room reading the military books than step into her boudoir?

The next morning, Zhu Luyun pretended to be okay, put on a new dress, and went to salute Zheng Biyu.

When she lifted her face, she saw that there was no jealousy on Zheng Biyu's face, only sarcasm and sympathy.

Zhu Luyun seemed to be hit in the head, all the disguise became a joke instantly, her eyes were red, and she couldn't stand still.

Holding the tea cup, Zheng Biyu glanced at her faintly, without a hint of surprise on his face: "Niang Yun, do you know what you did wrong?"

Zhu Luyun looked at her blankly.

Zheng Biyu sipped his tea, "You did one thing wrong: the person who replaced you and your relatives is not someone else, but the seventh princess."

After coming to Beirong and reuniting with her only family and aunt, Zhu Luyun often remembered the words of the prince.

She didn't understand the extraneous words of the princess.

What is so special about the Seven Princesses?

Hearing that this beautiful princess fell into the hands of Haidu Aling and was imprisoned by him for half a year, Zhu Luyun had mixed feelings in her heart, and she heard her aunt say that Wang Ting Buddha had rescued her, and regardless of rumors and rumors, she would tell all countries for her instead of being criticized. She also wanted to shelter her, Zhu Luyun gradually understood in her heart.

The special thing about the Seventh Princess lies in her beauty. Chief Ye Lu was excited when he saw her. People in Bei Rong knew that Haidu Aling liked to possess beauties, and Wang Ting Fuzi must be deceived by beauty. Break the rules.

So, when her aunt asked Zhu Luyun about Li Yaoying's character, she replied: "Li Qiniang is frail and sick, and she has depended on each other for life with her brother since she was a child, and she has been coquettish."

Zhu Luyun did not mention that Li Yaoying saw through Haidu Aling’s plan and sent troops back to the Central Plains to warn. Everyone in the Central Plains knows Princess Wenzhao’s feat. In Beirong, these things are rarely known. Obviously, Haidu Aling doesn’t want to be killed. Shame, deliberately concealed the matter.

The aunt pondered for a long time, and decided that Zhu Luyun would go to Wang Court to see Li Yaoying to see what secrets there was between her and the Buddha.

"The Wang Ting Buddhism is very strict. He never takes a look at the beauties sent by various countries, but he repeatedly breaks the rules for Li Qiniang. There must be differences in Li Qiniang."

Zhu Luyun refused to agree at first, she finally made up her mind to leave Li Xuanzhen, just reunited with her aunt, and did not want to travel thousands of miles to go to the palace.

The aunt insisted on asking her to come, so she had to come.

...

Yaoying was right. Zhu Luyun did not bother to inquire about Yaoying's experience in the past few years. She only heard about it. She saved others by herself, thinking that Yaoying is now isolated and helpless, and she would definitely agree to the conditions she proposed.

However, she hadn't made any conditions yet, and before she had the chance to utter the words her aunt taught her, Yaoying turned her face when she met and directly detained her.

Although Zhu Luyun was a former princess, she was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. She has not suffered much. After arriving at Li's house, she is even more pampered. She has never been treated so roughly, facing Yaoying, who is younger than herself and firmly suppresses herself. , Shy, angry and angry, unable to speak for a long time.

Yaoying turned and went downstairs.

Yuanjue quickly followed her.

Yaoying motioned to him to show the parchment to Zhu Luyun's guard, and said to the guard: "This is your princess's own admission."

The guards had read the parchment, and they were shocked and angry: Princess Fukang was really confused. With these confessions, Princess Wen Zhao could be snarled! Before leaving, Princess Yiqing gave a thousand warnings, but Princess Fukang didn't hear a word!

Yaoying stood in front of the steps, her eyes beckoning to the soldiers.

The guards pulled down the guards, wrapped them in black cloth hoods, covered their faces, and took them to different rooms. Only the Han guard was left so that Zhu Luyun could see him being tortured, and then began to question at the same time: "Princess Fukang How could you become Princess Bei Rong?"

Several people had their faces covered, and they were in different rooms. They didn't know what other people's answers were. They hesitated for a while, thinking that this question was not classified, and answered in a low voice.

When they finished answering, the guard walked to the room where the answer was the slowest and cut it off with a knife. The guard screamed.

This scream was full of pain, and the blood on the other people's faces faded.

Yuan Jue squeezed the long knife, hesitating to step forward to stop him, Yaoying shook her head at him.

He sighed, and secretly said in his heart: The princess didn't kill...just hurt...Is it reasonable?

Upstairs, Zhu Luyun looked at the Han guards who were kneeling in the courtyard, and heard the tragic howls from different rooms, her face pale.

The guards continued to ask questions, but just as soon as the voice fell this time, several guards answered at the same time.

After a few questions, the soldier's tone changed abruptly, and he began to ask some questions about Princess Yiqing.

The speed of the guard's answer was obviously slowed down.

When they finished answering, a soldier trot upstairs, and after a while, stood in front of the window and shook his head downstairs.

Zhu Luyun's answer is different from that of her guard.

The soldiers immediately raised the knife, and the hand dropped the knife. The Han guards rolled on the floor with pain, a broken finger on the snow, blood all over the place.

Several of the guards in the house trembled with fright.

The soldiers continued to ask questions.

Upstairs, Zhu Luyun looked at the **** fingers on the snowy ground, knowing that Yaoying wasn't scaring her just now, and she almost collapsed.

"I will answer whatever you want to ask! Stop it!"

The soldier grinned.

...

An hour later, Yaoying got a few confessions, looked at them in contrast, and gave them to Yuanjue.

Yuanjue was full of surprise.

The guards are well-trained people. This method of comparing confessions is actually not very useful for them, because they have colluded confessions a long time ago, but Yaoying asked the soldiers to interrogate Zhu Luyun and Zhu Luyun upstairs and downstairs. Among the three groups of guards and generals, the answers given by Zhu Luyun and the guards are always different from those of the guards. The guards watched the people upstairs shaking their heads again and again, knowing that Zhu Luyun’s answers were different from theirs. He must have confessed, his will gradually shaken, and he was quickly broken through the line of defense.

But the price was to chop off the fingers of Bei Rong's guard... If Bei Rong is not forgiving, the royal court will not be good at shielding the princess...

Yuanjue glanced at Yaoying quietly, with a heavy heart.

Yaoying went back upstairs like the okay person, and asked her soldiers to let Zhu Luyun go.

Zhu Luyun was limp on the ground, unable to stand up for a long time.

Yaoying walked up to her and wiped her cheek with a dagger: "Zhu Luyun, I know, you have never regretted, because you think you didn't take the initiative to harm me. You have always been like this, no matter how many people are because of your waywardness and innocence. You don’t care about being implicated. You feel that everyone in the world is sorry for you."

Vermillion Yunbei bit her red lips tightly.

Yaoying exerted a slight force on her hand.

Zhu Luyun's back is cold.

Yaoying patted her face: "Your father is licentious, ruined government, faint and incompetent, and violently conquered. The Zhu Dynasty has exhausted his dynamism. The world is the world of the people, not your father. You are the descendants of the Zhu family. Being favored and making big mistakes time and time again, no one owes you anything."

A touch of grief and anger crossed Zhu Luyun's eyes.

Yaoying was condescending and looked down at her: "The marriage relationship is between me and Li De, Li Xuanzhen and his son. How you and Li Xuanzhen are entangled is your business."

A light stroke of the dagger in her hand.

The cold light flashed, and a bunch of black hair beside Zhu Luyun's temple was cut off by a dagger, and it fell down.

Zhu Luyun shivered.

Yaoying slowly said, "This time it's just a warning. You'd better stay away from me in the future, don't bump into it yourself, let alone use me in vain, otherwise, next time I cut off a strand of hair."

After she finished speaking, the dagger knocked on Zhu Luyun's forehead.

"Send Princess Fukang down."

Zhu Luyun shivered a few times, was picked up by the soldiers, and sent downstairs.

...

Yaoying looked for fate to return to the few parchments just now, threw them into the brazier, and put them to the torch.

Yuanjue was taken aback: "Princess, why did you burn this thing? You... didn't you want to frame Princess Bei Rong?"

Yaoying smiled and said, "Do you really think this fabricated confession is useful? I just scared Zhu Luyun."

Zhu Luyun can be separated from the guards by attacking as soon as they meet, and Zhu Luyun is vulnerable to leaving the guards. When Zhu Luyun collapsed, the flaws of those guards would not be difficult to find.

Yuanjue was dumbfounded, shook his head and laughed, suddenly a glimmer of light flashed across his eyes, turned and ran downstairs, came to the snow, rummaging for a while on the ground, found the **** fingers, picked them up and took a closer look.

After a while, he scratched his head and smiled honestly.

These fingers are fake.

What Wang said was right, and Princess Wen Zhao really knew how to measure.

Yuanjue completely relieved this time, ran back upstairs, and fisted towards Yaoying: "Princess, are you ready for those fingers?"

Yaoying nodded: "After all, they were sent by Bei Rong. The situation in the city is tense now. I hurt the Bei Rong mission at this time. Isn't it difficult for the Buddha to do it? Don't worry, the Bei Rong mission is unscathed. , Only a few stitches, no internal or external injuries."

Yuanjue was dumbfounded: the guards screamed so violently, he thought their fingers were really cut off!

Yaoying said: "With these confessions, you can go back to the Wang Temple."

With a cry, Yuan Jue carefully put away the confession.
