Original Heroine 9

Midnight, Imperial City.

A group of nobles and ministers, including some princes and princesses, shuttled through the palace corridor. For these top figures in the entire country, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. The country could not be without a ruler for a day. As for the new successor, they already had a candidate in mind, but they just needed the right time to promote him. The biggest obstacle now was Xie Ling.

The moon was dim and the stars were sparse. A few vultures occasionally circled over the imperial city, like a death knell.

Xie Ling was imprisoned. After all, he was not a real member of the royal family. In addition, the system of the Great Chu was special, and there was the influence of the theory of regicide. He was temporarily driven off the throne and placed under house arrest in this small palace.

The thin man held a scroll in his hand, his eyes dark. A gust of wind blew in, blowing the candle. He immediately covered his lips and coughed a few times, leaving a bright red mark on his palm. The barrage of comments intensified:

[I originally thought he was a villain, but he turned out to be a beautiful, strong and miserable person with the world in his heart. He was also slandered as a traitor. I'm so sad.]

I can't imagine it. If Huiyin hadn't been reborn and hadn't seen all this from a God's perspective, how many people would have misunderstood Xie Ling for his entire life, and he would have died with the dark label of a traitor and hatred.

[When turbidity becomes the norm, innocence becomes a sin. The heroine must restore Xie Ling's innocence.]

[I laughed. Xie Ling ordered the extermination of the Hui family in his previous life, and the heroine is still fighting for him after his rebirth? Just because he didn't kill the king? What kind of stupid logic is this? Is the heroine his mother?]

[Hehe, the heroine's life was just a tool. Killing her whole family was nothing. Xie Ling was wronged. The heroine's pain was nothing. Xie Ling was bullied.]

"That's it."

On the other side of the palace, Huiyin and Su Yourou sneaked in quietly. They went through a side door and were almost discovered by the guards. Just as they were about to move forward, a faint light appeared in the dark palace corridor, accompanied by bursts of human voices. The two hurriedly pretended to be palace servants and knelt down with their heads bowed.

A thin man was sitting on a sedan chair. The night was too dark to see his true appearance, but Su Yourou knew that this was Prince Ning, the one who arranged him to work in the Regent's Palace. According to their agreement, he would pass on the information about the Regent's Palace. But who knew that Huiyin was such an incompetent woman that she didn't give him any useful information at all, causing him to suffer insults for so long in vain and even giving his first time to a playboy.

For a man, this is a great humiliation!

He gritted his teeth secretly, but it didn't matter anymore. At least he had tricked her into bringing him into the palace. As long as he met His Royal Highness Prince Ning later and captured Huiyin and tortured her severely, she would be able to reveal the information.

Prince Ning promised him that they would meet at the side door tonight. That was why he wanted to bring Huiyin into the palace from here. Everything was under control.

Everyone knows that Prince Ning's methods are much more sinister than Xie Ling's. If Xie Ling is the devil who has killed countless people, then Prince Ning is the evil ghost who makes people suffer. Half of the tortures in the Great Chu are from his hands. Even a delicate woman like Huiyin confessed in a few seconds.

The sound of the sedan chair was getting closer and closer. Su Yourou seized the opportunity and moved her feet. Unexpectedly, Huiyin stood up first, walked to the sedan chair and bowed: "Your Highness, your servant greets you."

"Hmm." The man in the seat responded nonchalantly. The status of a female official in the Great Chu was not too low, and since this was a special period, he asked, "Which palace are you from?"

"Your Highness, I entered the palace with the eldest princess."

Su Yourou looked up suddenly, and for a moment she thought she had followed the wrong person. The man on the seat laughed, sounding very satisfied. Su Yourou's doubts grew even more intense, and then she heard Huiyin say, "The eldest princess is already waiting for you in the palace."

The man paused, then responded, motioning for Huiyin to lead the way. It was true that the Princess was in league with Prince Ning, but when had Huiyin first met him? Su Yourou was perplexed. Could it be that Prince Ning had come up with some last-minute plan and simply hadn't had time to tell him?

[What's going on? How did Huiyin know Prince Ning?]

Is the heroine crazy? I remember that Prince Ning and Xie Ling didn't get along in the plot, so why did she help him kill the emperor? I wonder how much trouble this will bring to Xie Ling?

[I'm speechless. The last life was the last life. In this life, Xie Ling didn't kill your entire family. You've been eating and drinking for free in the Regent's Mansion for so long, and then you didn't help me at the critical moment. This is too much.]

[This is the kind of girl that mothers like/snickering]

Huiyin took the people to the palace gate and left, while Su Yourou took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the end of King Ning's team. No matter what, he had to find out how many people were in the camp to avoid any problems in the future.

"Your Highness." Su Yourou immediately moved closer to Prince Ning. "When was that woman arranged to come in? Where is Prince Yan?"

"Hmm?" The man's voice was very confused.

"You said it yourself that if the Prince of Yan were to kill the emperor, the blame would definitely be placed on Xie Ling. Now that the emperor is gone, what will you do next?..."

Halfway through his speech, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little off, because Prince Ning's faction had never treated him as an outsider, so he spoke at a normal volume. When he looked up, he saw the elegant woman sitting on the seat with bright red nails, staring at him intently. When he turned around again, the blood rushed to his brain and he almost fainted.

"Yan...King Yan?" The man collapsed to the ground, then realized what he had just said. As he ran, he was pushed back. "How...how is this possible?!"

He had been keeping his head down, and he didn't realize that this was Prince Yan and not Prince Ning, and that the woman sitting on the seat was not Princess Pingning from Prince Ning's camp, but Princess Zhaoyang from Prince Yan's camp, who had been thinking about killing the king for a long time.

"What a good dog." Princess Zhaoyang sneered. Looking at the piles of Prince Yan's confidants around her, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and could not move.

"Very good." Prince Yan sneered. The regicide had finally been discovered. Princess Zhaoyang's face was also very unhappy. "Someone come!"

"No...no!" Su Yourou's face turned pale, and she wished she could go back and slap herself just now. How could he not have thought that there was more than one princess in this palace!

Two muscular guards walked in. By now, everyone here is Prince Yan's men. "Drag this man into the Ghost Tiger Division." The types of torture in Prince Yan's private torture room there are no less severe than those used by Prince Ning. Moreover, he knows such a big secret. Just imagine what kind of physical pain is waiting for him.

…………

Every form of torture was used on Su Yourou. With her experience raising horses in the palace, her physical condition was excellent, and she remained remarkably strong despite all the torture. Meanwhile, Xie Ling's internal circulation value continued to rise, and overnight, it was close to the full score given by the mother system.

[Oh my god! The heroine is so amazing!!!]

[Smart girl! Mom loves you]

[Who wants to insult our heroine again? She's obviously super awesome and wants to be close to Yinyin.]

[Girls are the most beautiful creatures. I am going to fall in love with her.]

The comments that were originally disgusting towards Huiyin have improved, and the comments of people claiming to be Huiyin's mother are everywhere. The mother system is also relieved, saying that this script is very friendly to the heroine and her personality charm is fully reflected. How smart is Huiyin!

Yu Wan glanced at the barrage of comments while working and thought to himself that these humans become mothers so quickly.

-

Across the palace, a group of imperial relatives were still engaged in internal strife. Some had rushed back to the capital, not even glancing at the emperor's remains before they began quarreling. Chaos reigned supreme. The palace servants avoided them, fearing they might be implicated and lose their heads.

Xie Ling still had not been released. In front of all the royal relatives, he, the former regent of a foreign surname, seemed less important, almost like an abandoned child. His originally noble appearance became even more decadent, and the mother system and the barrage felt very distressed.

Huiyin was not in a hurry to see him, but asked someone to send a little water and food to Su Yourou every day to keep him alive and bring him back from the gates of hell, so as to increase Xie Ling's internal circulation value; the barrage of comments was hilarious, and the CP fans were very excited and began to look forward to the happy ending.

Yu Wan tilted her head. Happy ending? She was looking forward to it too.

Inside the Ghost Tiger Division, Prince Ning found Su Yourou, who was almost paralyzed on one side of his body. Fortunately, his tongue was not pulled out and he could still speak. When he saw Prince Ning, he burst into tears and his half-dead body regained some strength. He told Prince Ning everything that Hui Yin had done.

In the dark cell, King Ning frowned and ordered his men to release Su Yourou.

Xie Ling was dragged out by a group of royal relatives. The brainless Prince Qing was still standing in the front and was the most angry: "You bastard! You killed my nephew! You are so bold!" He was the uncle of the little emperor, and his words sounded nice, but it was not known how much truth there was in them.

Xie Ling's face was pale, and he still looked arrogant: "I said, your majesty's death has nothing to do with me." He had his own pride and would not bow easily, but how could this group of people who were greedy for fat meat tolerate it? Prince Qing was furious and called the palace servants to hold Xie Ling down and was about to punish him with a stick.

The mother system started writing a classical Chinese article every day again, praising Xie Ling's greatness, and the comments were also heartbreaking:

[People in this world are so despicable and shameless]

[I originally thought Xie Ling was a villain, and I even scolded him for the heroine before. Now I have changed my mind. He really deserves the word "gentleman". He is absolutely beautiful, strong and miserable.]

As the mother system was about to release the task, Huiyin ran in. Everyone was stunned when they saw her. Huiyin felt very embarrassed and unwilling. She kept complaining to Yu Wan, but what she said was: "Everyone! The prince is really innocent!"

Everyone: “…………”

"Have you ever understood him? He's convicted based on hearsay." Hui Yin, suppressing her shame, stood in front of Xie Ling and said, "He's served the emperor for nearly ten years without a single complaint. But have you seen it? How can you conclude that the prince was responsible for the emperor's death based on a single, unfounded rumor?"

"Everyone, please open your eyes and take a look. The man standing before you is clearly a gentleman with bones as strong as a pine mountain!"

The mother system looked at the lines she had prepared and was already in tears. Yu Wan beside her was trembling. Although she couldn't understand the classical Chinese, her toes were really painful.

After she finished speaking, everyone still had a look of astonishment on their faces. Some even looked like they wanted to beat her up. There was a deathly silence. Yu Wan noticed the host's embarrassment and quickly clapped her hands together, "Our host is really amazing!"

Huiyin was almost crying because of her own stupidity. Just when she couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to run away, a strong male voice rang out: "Well said!" Everyone woke up as if from a dream and turned around to see King Ning walking in with the disheveled Su Yourou.
