One night passed. There was no day or night in the death row.

When the two princes were confused, the jailer roughly opened the cell door and forcibly dragged them out.

Dongfang Xiao Yun resisted a few times, but Dongfang Chu Ye made no move at all, walking forward numbly as if his soul had been taken away.

In front of the palace gate, civil and military officials were already in place, and many people came to watch.

This is the way to judge traitors.

The emperor stood in the center, and standing next to him was Bei Mingnan, who was dressed in white robes.

The two were escorted to the center of the stage. Dongfang Xiaoyun refused to kneel down, so he was kicked in the knee by the jailer, causing him to kneel heavily on the bluestone with a thud.

Dongfang Chuye's back was straight and he refused to kneel down. The jailer did the same thing, but he was as strong as an iron bone and could not kick him down.

He raised his head and stared at the emperor and Bei Mingnan above.

"Kneel down to heaven and earth, not to a villain."

"presumptuous!"

The emperor shouted angrily, waved his hand, and immediately stepped forward to force him down.

"I value you two so much, but I never thought that it would be you who betrayed me?! It really makes me sad!"

"Pretentious!" Dongfang Xiaoyun sneered.

The jailer pressed him hard, and he tried his best to push himself up and said loudly, "All the people of China, listen! Do you think that the man in front of you can become the emperor because of the legacy of the late emperor? Not at all!

In order to become the crown prince, he arranged to have the mother-in-law of Zhenbei King push my mother-in-law to death in the water, so that both of us would not be welcomed by the emperor, so that he could sit on the throne!

Zhennan and Zhenbei? They were just afraid that the two of us would know the truth, so they sent me far away! But he didn’t expect that even when I arrived in Jiangnan, I would still investigate what happened back then, which made his plan come to nothing! "

When Dongfang Xiao Yun told what happened back then, the emperor's eyes darkened, and his face didn't change much.

"Who will believe what you are talking nonsense about, traitors and traitors?"

He took a step forward, showing his majesty.

"Let me ask you two, can you plead guilty to treason?"

Dongfang Xiao Yun stared at him with cold eyes, "You deserve to be killed!"

The emperor's slightly frowned brows relaxed, "If the thief pleads guilty, he will be executed on the street at noon to make it known to the world!"

"No, don't!"

Dongfang Yunduo rushed out from the crowd of onlookers, threw himself directly into his brother's arms, and opened his arms to protect him behind him.

"My brother is not treason! He is just avenging my mother and redressing her injustice! What is wrong with that?!"

She turned to look at everyone, "Everyone, may I ask how you can stop killing your mother?!"

The people watching looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

"Dongfang Yunduo! Your brother has already pleaded guilty, and you still want to defend him? The crime of treason should implicate the nine clans. I miss you as a female family member and the only flesh and blood of Concubine Rong in this world, so I spare your life. You

Don’t be ignorant!”

In one sentence, the emperor's demeanor was clearly demonstrated, and it also dispelled the doubts that Dongfang Xiao Yun's words just made aroused in the people.

How could such a kind emperor do such a thing?

"Yunduo?! What are you doing out here? Go back! I don't need you to worry about it! Go back quickly!"

"I won't leave!" Dongfang Yunduo burst into tears, hugging Dongfang Xiao Yun and refusing to let go, "My brother is my last relative in this world. If my brother dies, I will never live alone!"

"Shut up!" Dongfang Xiaoyun's eyes were red with tears in his eyes.

"Fellow? I only think of you as a burden! It's extremely difficult over there in the south of the Yangtze River, but you still pretended to be sick and lied to me for many years. I've had enough! Get out! Get as far away as you want!"

While he was tied up, he knocked his sister down with his head to make her leave.

Dongfang Yunduo got up again, hugging his brother tightly with his slender arms, refusing to let go.

"It's useless to drive me away. Drive me away now, and I will commit suicide at the gate of the imperial city tomorrow! People are dying on both sides, wouldn't it be better to die together?!"

"you!"

Dongfang Xiaoyun was furious and wanted to scold her again, but seeing her sister's eyes turning red from crying, her heart softened again.

"Brother is incompetent...I failed to avenge my mother and concubine, and I failed to take good care of you...I can't see you marry and become a woman, and I can't see you and your family being happy..."

Dongfang Yunduo cried so hard that he couldn't speak, he just kept shaking his head in tears.

"It's true that brother and sister have a deep love." The emperor said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Since you insist on seeking death, let's help them."

As he turned around to leave, there was the sound of horse hooves galloping behind him.

He stopped and looked back.

A cavalry team came towards us, all wearing black armor, and all of them had stern expressions, which made them look good at first sight.

"Black armored guard?"

How come the team trained by Dongfang Chuye personally appears here?

Bei Mingnan's expression changed slightly, "Someone is coming to escort you!"

Guards in golden armor immediately stood in front of the emperor.

But the black-armored guard came at a gallop, but had no intention of attacking.

Stop in front of others and dismount them all.

Leading the way day by day, sweeping towards the middle of the field.

"My prince has never rebelled!"

"What?" The emperor frowned, "You are kneeling here and have confessed your crime. What are you talking about?"

Zhuri stepped forward and said, "The person kneeling here is not my prince at all!"

Once the sentence came out, there was a lot of discussion.

"Not the King of Zhenbei?"

"What's going on?"

"What do you mean by this? With so many pairs of eyes looking at you, if this kneeling person is not the King of Zhenbei, who could it be?"

Zhuri stopped talking nonsense, stepped forward directly, took out a bottle of ointment from his arms, and applied it on the face of "Dongfang Chuye" who was kneeling on the ground.

Soon, the face that originally belonged to Dongfang Chu Ye turned into the look of chasing the moon.

The onlookers stared at this scene and their eyes widened.

"What's going on?"

"Not the King of Zhenbei!"

"Then King Zhenbei didn't rebel?"

"Then who is this person?"

The emperor's expression darkened, and he glanced sideways at Bei Mingnan, whose expression also changed.

"What's going on? Dongfang Chuye is no longer Dongfang Chuye. How did you investigate at that time?"

Bei Mingnan didn't know what was going on at the moment.

He did check at the time and there was no trace of the human skin mask disguising himself, so he was still deceived somehow.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and his face instantly turned ugly.

"Nan Qingfeng..."

He remembered that Nan Qingfeng once plotted to disguise Bei Mingjing when she was a child.

However, no trace of the human skin mask was found at that time, so it should be a special ointment.

Damn it!

He was so immersed in the great cause that he was about to succeed that he actually forgot about this...

"What to do now? The people are watching!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I still have a way."

Bei Mingnan said, taking a step forward.

"Zhuri, you are so brave! You actually turned over the traitor and even came out to perform such a show today! What crime should you be punished for!"

Without giving Zhuri a chance to speak, he shouted loudly, "Come here! Take down all these rebellious officials and traitors!"

The palace guards immediately responded "Yes" and gathered around the black-armored guards.

"stop!"

Outside, there was a loud shout.
