Mrs. Shangguan said, suddenly breathing rapidly, looking very uncomfortable.
"Madam..." Shangguan Yue hurriedly picked up his wife and put it on Shangguan Wanning's bed, holding her hand tightly. "Madam, don't worry, let's think of another way."
Mrs. Shangguan struggled to get up, and suddenly vomited a big mouthful of blood.
"Mom!" Shangguan Wanning hugged her mother crying.
She was in a mess. She didn't want to see her mother hurt her body for this matter, but...
"Ning'er, you have to promise me..." Mrs. Shangguan's face turned pale, and even her voice became weaker and weaker. "Don't hurt your grandfather... and third uncle, you promise me..."
Shangguan Wanning couldn't help crying. "Okay, mom, I promise, I promise... Stop talking, have a good rest..."
Shangguan Yue immediately called the housekeeper and went to the backyard room overnight to invite Lu Xiangzi.
"Master, how about my mother?" Shangguan Wanning asked carefully.
Lu Xiangzi's face was full of solemnity. "Her body had recovered a lot, but her foundation was too bad. She should have been stimulated just now. She needed to rest and her emotions could not fluctuate any more. Otherwise... she couldn't handle it in one breath
When you come up, it will be hard for the gods to save them."
Shangguan Wanning closed her eyes in pain, her heart as calm as water.
"Girl, take good care of your mother. I'll go to the kitchen to decoct medicine now." Lu Xiangzi didn't know what happened, but he felt very distressed when he saw Shangguan Wanningsheng's indulgent appearance.
He patted Shangguan Wanning's head gently, turned around and walked out.
After taking the medicine, Mrs. Shangguan fell asleep deeply. Shangguan Wanning's mind went blank and she sat blankly beside the bed.
She kept holding her mother's hand, her eyes were confused and empty.
"It's almost dawn." Shangguan Yue walked over and said to his dazed daughter.
Shangguan Wanning knew that her father was reminding her that if she wanted to go to the Ministry of Justice, she would start preparing now.
"Dad, I..."
"Ning'er, you have taught you to distinguish right from wrong since you were a child, but this time..." Shangguan Yue had no choice.
As the prime minister, he should stand up and uphold justice for the 100,000 soldiers. He was originally on Shangguan Wanning's side.
However, when he looked at his wife who was dying on the hospital bed, the heavy feeling in his heart could not help but lean to the side of favoritism.
"If you insist on proving your grandfather and third uncle, your father will not stop you, and your mother... I will try my best to comfort you; but if you don't want to..."
Shangguan Yue was silent for a long time and said, "I will arrange everything, rescue Mu Jingrui, and let you two fly away."
Shangguan Wanning was stunned and looked up at her father.
"father……"
"I know, you will definitely not want to watch Mu Jingrui die. At the moment, this is the only way to achieve the best of both worlds. As for the justice of those 100,000 soldiers..."
Shangguan Yue's sigh sounded even more helpless. "I will find a way to make them feel wronged."
Shangguan Wanning looked at her sleeping mother.
She found tears slowly falling from the corners of her mother's eyes, and she suddenly realized that her mother might not have fallen asleep at all.
"Okay, everything will be arranged by my father. I..." Shangguan Wanning held her mother's hand and whispered, "I won't go."
Shangguan Wanning saw the corners of her mother's lips moving, as if she was trying her best to suppress her sadness.
At this moment, she became calm.
A dawn flashed in the sky, and the morning breeze blew across the cheeks, clear and cool.
Mu Jingrui sat on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. He heard the sound of someone pushing the door in and opened his eyes.
Mu Jingyan brought two maids, food and water.
She signaled the maid to put down the things, then wrung the towel and handed it to her brother, and then arranged the food one by one.
"Brother, I made the flower rolls you like. You can go to the Ministry of Justice after you finish eating."
"good."
After washing up, Mu Jingrui sat down at the table, tasted it and said with a smile: "I am used to being pampered and have a better life, but my skills seem to have declined."
Mu Jingyan ignored his jokes and just watched him eat silently.
"Brother..." Mu Jingyan couldn't help it and whispered, "Can you... not go to the Ministry of Justice?"
"No." Mu Jingrui did not stop the action, but refused to do so quickly.
"Why?" Mu Jingyan was a little excited and said the words hidden in his heart, "Brother, it is already the blessing of your ancestors when you can escape from death. Let's not worry about anything that will shine the clan and make achievements, okay?
What is more important than living?”
"Follower, I went to the Ministry of Justice just to seek justice for myself and for the 100,000 soldiers, and I won't die." Mu Jingrui gently patted his sister's head, with a little more comfort and pampering in her eyes.
But Mu Jingyan disagreed.
"Isn't you really going to die? Brother, the Yiyong Marquis' Mansion is now extremely powerful, and the only person who can prove the Zheng family's father and son is Shangguan Wanning. Have you ever thought that if... she is in the same group with them, she
If it doesn't appear...what do you...?"
Mu Jingrui put down his chopsticks and said softly: "Don't think about it all, Ning'er won't lie to me."
"Brother!" Mu Jingyan couldn't help it, "Can you stop thinking of her so simple and perfect? She... is not worthy of your love at all. Before you came back, I saw her and the King of Qin with my own eyes
A tryst at White Horse Temple…”
Mu Jingrui's eyes sank, and a sharp light flashed through his eyes.
But Mu Jingyan is not afraid.
"Brother, all 100,000 soldiers were wiped out. People in the world think that you have died in the battlefield and sacrificed your life for the country. Then let this secret be kept forever. Otherwise, the Ministry of Justice will see you go back and this lost battle, you
It’s hard to blame. Even if Shangguan Wanning is willing to testify for you, who can guarantee that the emperor will let you go?"
"I'm stuffed."
Mu Jingrui's expression was calm and his eyes turned to his sister.
"Xiaoyan, do you know what responsibility is?"
Mu Jingyan shook his head blankly.
"Responsibility is something you don't want to do but have to do. You are right. As the head coach, I can't stand the blame for my failure in the war. I must take responsibility for my fault. Even if the emperor sentences me to behead me, the emperor sentences me to behead me.
I accept the punishment calmly."
"but……"
"Okay, stop talking."
Mu Jingrui stood up and sighed silently.
"If I can't come back, you can take good care of yourself in the future."
After saying that, he walked out without looking back.
Mu Jingyan couldn't help but burst into tears.
Mu Jingrui beat the drum at the entrance of the Ministry of Justice’s Court’s court, and his return of peace shocked everyone.
The Minister of Justice Long Jiu immediately went to the court for trial. After listening to Mu Jingrui's explanation, he was shocked and sweated in his back.
It is of great importance and he can no longer be able to hear the trial alone, so he had to immediately understand the emperor.
