C71 (1/2)

When the palace was being rebuilt, the stones on the road and the stones on the path were stepping on the stone path.

In the heat of the day, she put on a pair of thin embroidered shoes. Walking on the stone road was no different from walking barefoot on top of it.

You invited him to the front hall. Has he still not eaten? Bring him the noodles. ”

Li Rou was still worried, ”Your Highness, why don't I call Commander Jun over?”

Ru Yi shook her head, ”There's no need. Who is on duty? ”Come out.”

Eleven and twelve guards floated out from a nearby bush.

If it was a normal day, Ru Yi would definitely think that this was a good trick to scare people. Now, she could only laugh twice.

”You will follow me,” he said to Twelfth, and then to Li Rou, ”you will go in person and bring him into the great hall, and do not neglect him.”

Li Rou walked as if she was flying. Only then did Ru Yi change to a stone path and walk forward at a moderate pace.

The front hall was brightly lit with lanterns. Li Rou didn't waste any time on the way. Jiang Mubai and Li were already standing inside the hall. They knelt down once they saw Ru Yi.

Ru Yi hurriedly supported him, ”Brother Qiang Chen, men have gold under their knees. If I can do it, I don't have to kneel down and help out. If I can't do it, it's useless even if you kneel to the heavens and earth. ”But he is only a man, not an immortal.”

Jiang Mubai Li's expression did not seem to be in a sorry state, but his expression was extremely pale. After struggling free of the ruyi scepter, he still kneeled down and said,

”Your Highness, Jiang Muli came here to beg for forgiveness. This lowly body isn't worthy of regret. I only ask that Your Highness spare Miss Xiao so that she can help …”

If he didn't want to hear, he could only wave his hand and send the rest of the people away. Then, using his eyes to signal Twelfth Night to move to the side, he asked, ”Which Miss Xiao? Why did you ask me to spare her? ”Brother Mo Chen, please speak frankly.”

Jiang Mubai knelt on the ground. It was clearly the hottest day of June or July, but he felt waves of cold assaulting his body.

”Your Highness, I was delusional. Miss Xiao only felt that I was deeply in love with Your Highness and wanted to give you a chance to be with me alone. She definitely wouldn't fall into your dangerous heart.”

Miss Xiao is still young, so I deliberately made use of her. If we're going to judge her crimes, then naturally she has to admit that she's the strongest of the bunch. She can do whatever she wants by herself, but even though Miss Xiao was in the wrong, she didn't bring her highness to the place we agreed on.

”Your Highness, please let us have our way. I am willing to shoulder all responsibility to atone for my sins with my death.” With that, he knelt on the ground.

Ru Yi's mouth was wide open as her mind was filled with Jiang Mubai Li's ”love for him”.

As a pure person, she thought that she had done things appropriately. She didn't expect that the person who had treated her with utmost respect would actually plot against her and even use a method to harm her reputation.

This matter was really difficult to deal with because she had not received any actual injuries. She could only define them as attempted plotting against her …

If human rights were greater than the imperial power, they might have been able to escape unscathed, but right now, the imperial power was above everything else, and Prince Jiang was just a proton sent over from a defeated nation. Although he had a reputation as a scholar of Yan Kingdom's culture, everyone knew the truth of the matter.

However, while her beauty was not enough to attract the young masters of aristocratic families, she could also attract the ladies of aristocratic families! Then someone would help him dig a hole for him...

Actually, Jiang Mubai also wanted to turn the situation into rain and spring. It was a pity that his spring breeze could only turn into drizzle, and could not even get the princess' raincoat wet.

After first interacting with him a few times, Ru Yi realized that perhaps he could have some thoughts, but at that time, he had distanced himself even further. She didn't expect Jiang Mai Li to not give up and instead take the risk.

”Brother Kui, please rise. Disregarding anything else, Miss Xiao's words are true. It is indeed not a crime to die.” Ru Yi calmed herself down. She didn't know how the high-certificate trial was going.

Although she did not have a good impression of Jiang Mo Li, she did not have any bad feelings towards him.

Jiang Muli's defeat was not Jiang Muli's fault, but he was allowed to bear the shame. Now, it wasn't impossible for Jiang Muli to kneel down and beg her to let Xiao Mutie go. If Xiao Mutie really died, things would become difficult to talk about.

When she thought of this, she immediately said to Li Rou, ”Pass on my message to keep Xiao Mu's life.”

Of course, Li Rou was unhappy. Everything that harmed His Highness' interests was his enemy, and he wished that he could tear her into ten thousand pieces and never reincarnate. But since the princess was becoming more and more dignified, he absolutely could not do anything that went against his wishes.

Fortunately, High Scholars didn't actually try to kill Xiao Mutie. Li Rou watched as the hundred tassels were completed. The prison doctor at the side confirmed that Xiao Mutie was still alive and applied the medicine.

Ru Yi, who was in the palace, was speechless.
