C242 Head Beheading Exile

The Duke of Ling ordered the carriage driver to speed up and block Yu Longyun at the palace gates.

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Yu Longyun sat in the carriage and the curtain was not lifted.

"Longyun, you are married. You should call me father-in-law." The Duke of Ling did not look too good. He got off the carriage and stood outside.

"Uncle, why do you need to call me that?" He could not see Yu Longyun's expression and could only hear her cold voice, "Uncle, if there is nothing else, Longyun will be leaving first."

"Feng'er is your husband, how can you be ruthless?" The Duke of Ling only had tears flowing down his face and his tone was filled with the grief of a request.

"What is the truth? I will only tell Royal Father the truth." Yu Longyun's voice passed through the curtain, "Uncle said that I am ruthless. I am afraid I was wrong. In terms of ruthlessness, who can be compared to my good husband? "

The Duke of Ling had nothing to say. He only had his back slightly hunched and instantly aged a few years. If this matter was not handled properly, even the Duke Ling's Mansion would be implicated.

He could not stop Yu Longyun and could only follow her into the Imperial Palace.

On Lord Mayor's side, after searching for a long time, he finally found Ling Yunfeng in the alley. He sat on the ground in a dispirited manner. When he saw the person who came, he was not afraid but could only cry. A pair of red and swollen eyes looked at Lord Mayor, unable to speak.

Lord Mayor immediately ordered someone to tie him up and hand him over to Mu Po. Then, he would return to the Palace with the Praetorian Guard.

Commander of Praetorian Guard's face was green all the way. He followed behind without making a sound.

Ling Yunfeng was brought to the front of the Emperor with a foolish look on his face. Only when he saw Yu Longyun did he come back to his senses. He did not care about the big shots present and directly rushed towards Yu Longyun, "Longyun! It's not me! How can I bear to treat you like this?"

" Capture him! " The Emperor frowned and glared at the Duke of Ling who was kneeling on the ground.

"Royal Father, since the investigation is done, please punish him." Yu Longyun hated Ling Yunfeng to the core. She ignored the struggling Ling Yunfeng and knelt in front of the Emperor.

There were a few pieces of paper on the table next to the Emperor's hand. They were evidence. It was the evidence that Ling Yunfeng had ordered the assassin to kill Yu Longchen and the others.

There was also a letter from Yun Meng Crown Prince Yun Sheng. The general meaning of the letter was that the two of them were mutually beneficial to each other. Ling Yunfeng helped Yun Sheng get rid of Yun Yu, and Yun Sheng helped Ling Yunfeng get rid of Mu Jun.

However, before Yun Sheng even made a move, Ling Yunfeng's matter was ruined.

The authenticity of the dispute in Ling Country only attracted Yu Longtang's suspicion. "Duke Ling's Mansion is heavily guarded. Who can put in such conspicuous evidence? Furthermore, Longyun is Ling Yunfeng's wife, so why would she frame her husband? Let her marry for less than a month and become a widow? How could Ling Yunfeng's handwriting be so similar to Crown Prince Yun Meng's? "

Yu Longzi's heart was stifled, but he had nowhere to vent his anger. No matter what, Yu Longyun was her biological sister, but now she had ruined his reputation. He originally thought that Yu Longyun would not think about it anymore after marrying out. Who knew that Yu Longchen would still take advantage of her.

On one side was her own daughter, and on the other side was her nephew. The Empress was both in a difficult position. Furthermore, no one wanted to provoke him in this matter. Even Yu Longzi did not defend him.

The Duke of Ling was isolated and helpless. Now, he could only barely protect his own home. Mu Po said another person's confession and pushed Ling Yunfeng into the abyss.

The man also revealed the mastermind. He did not know who the mastermind was, but there was a handwritten letter and two hundred taels of silver.

The man had a death wish to begin with. With that silver, his family would be able to live a good life. It was time for his brother to get married.

A man's job was not bad either. It was enough to feed his family, but he was a gambler, so his family was poor. It made his family angry at him. His wife was working with the manager of the post house, so she wanted to die more and more.

Since someone was willing to give him money and only wanted him to stir up trouble, it wasn't difficult for him to vent his anger, so he agreed.

After Mu Po was interrogated, he sent someone to bring the two hundred taels of silver and the letter. The letter was written by Ling Yunfeng, and the money was also from Duke Ling's Mansion.

Everyone's evidence was present. The Duke of Ling's entire body went limp, and he looked at his beloved son with a pair of tired eyes. His expression was unclear. There was a hint of resentment and heartache.

The Emperor decreed. Kill that man three days later. As for Ling Yunfeng, he would be demoted to a slave and sent to Yingzhou.

Yingzhou was the most impoverished place in the entire Dayong. There were few people there, and only those who had committed serious crimes would be exiled there. The plague was prevalent in Yingzhou, and if they were exiled there, they would be sentenced to death.

Before dying, they would have to endure a life that was filled with pain and agony for a few months. That was the greatest torture.

As for the Duke of Ling, he had the Empress plead for mercy. The Emperor had also considered that he had been loyal to the Dayong all his life and had established his meritorious service. He was also unaware of this matter, so he had only lowered him by three grades and taken his military authority.

When the Duke of Ling was beaten up, he still had to thank the Empress for her kindness with a smile.

As for Yun Sheng, he was the Crown Prince of Yun Meng City after all. He could only draw up the national language and explain this matter clearly to Yun Yu so that he could bring him back. In this way, it was impossible for Yun Meng's emperor to find an excuse.

Yu Longyun was the one who made the most noise in this matter. She was only seventeen years old. She became a living widow just like that. The emperor felt sorry for her and gave her a princess' residence. In the western suburbs of the Imperial Capital, the marriage with the Duke Ling's Mansion was forfeited and she was even allowed to marry someone else. This could be considered as compensation to her.

Yu Longyun did not know if it was relief in her heart or something, but she suddenly cried. She thanked the Empress for her kindness and left with the Empress.

After the matter was settled, everyone dispersed.

On the way back to the palace, Yu Longzi's heart was already filled with depression. Coupled with the fact that the wound had not fully healed, he supported himself on the tree and coughed intensely.

He stretched out his hand and saw a pool of red liquid in his palm.

"Your Highness!" The guard wanted to help him, but Yu Longzi put away his hand and walked straight in front of him with endless hostility. The guard did not dare to speak and only quietly followed behind.

The military power of the Duke of Ling had been stripped, and he had been demoted by three ranks. Yu Longzi's arm had already been destroyed. However, the son of the Duke of Ling, Ling Chuan, was a Great General, and his military power was no less than the Duke of Ling's.

However, in the military camp, he was too far away from the Imperial Capital, so his position was not obvious. To Yu Longzi, it was far less useful than the Duke of Ling.

At the start, Yu Longzi had decided that even if Yu Longchen came back to life, he would not be able to turn the tables. Because he had been staring at Yu Longchen.

Furthermore, Yu Longchen had never agreed to cooperate with Yun Yu. Even if he compromised today, how could he make such a thorough arrangement?

It seemed like there was something hidden in the darkness, spying on everything here.

Yu Longzi looked at the high walls of the palace. He had lost tonight's chess game. It was because he was too conceited, and he had underestimated Yu Longchen.

Back in the palace. A man wearing a bamboo hat stood inside.

Without one hand, the other hand had black skin and protruding veins were exposed in the air.

"Your Highness is well." The man only spoke and did not bow.

Yu Longzi gave the guard a look. The guard understood and left.

Yu Longyun's face was cold as she stood in front of the man. "Did you find out?"

"Yes, I was poisoned."

"Who is it?"

"Why does Your Highness need to ask me? So what if you know about the Gu? Your Highness reports to the Emperor, then may I ask, if Your Highness did not use Gu magic, how would Your Highness know that Ling Yunfeng has been infected by the Gu? If this is the case, the loss outweighs the gain."

" You do not need to teach these. " Yu Longzi clenched his teeth so hard that cracking sounds could be heard. It was because he had forgotten Mu Ruqing's ability.
