Chapter 158 Trial
Mr. Meng was the late emperor's imperial tutor, so he had naturally seen Li Rongzhen. He knew how outstanding Li Rongzhen was back then.
Mr. Meng had seen that Sang Nian liked Su Yi, but if Su Yi and Li Rong were truly in love with each other, how could he possibly break up a pair of lovers for Sang Nian?
He didn't think he was as crazy as Sangnian. In order to get Su Yi, he could do such a thing as drugging and even wanted to kill Baili Yuan afterwards.
He was cruel and severed his relationship with Sang Nian. But deep down in his heart, he had a real grudge against Li Rong that he didn't even realize. If she wasn't there, would Sang Nian be able to be with Su Yi? Would things not have gone that far?
Many years later, seeing Li Rong's new daughter, Mr. Meng let go of his grudges.
Whether it is Li Rongzhen or Su Chenyu, their open-mindedness and sincerity are something that Sang Nian cannot compare to.
Mr. Meng asked the boy to prepare a room for Su Chenyu and his party. After they had a night's rest, they set off for the capital at dawn.
Su Chenyu lay on the hard wooden bed, but couldn't fall asleep.
She opened her eyes and looked towards the window, and found that the window was slightly open. From her angle, she could see the full moon hanging in the sky.
Suddenly, a feeling of loneliness surged in Su Chenyu's heart.
Since she came here from the capital, she had been anxious every moment. Now that Mr. Meng had decided to go to the capital with her, she suddenly felt relieved, but a greater sense of loneliness surrounded her.
At this moment, Su Chenyu suddenly came to her senses. From the moment she opened her eyes and woke up, there was only a desert in her heart. It was Baili Yanqing's company that made her forget about the desert, but when he was not around, the desert reappeared.
Su Chenyu clenched the safety belt in her hand. She believed that she and Baili Yanqing would be safe!
Su Chenyu fell asleep in a daze, and her sleep was extremely restless.
Early in the morning, as soon as there was a little movement outside, Su Chenyu suddenly opened her eyes. Since she had been with Baili Yanqing, she had never woken up so early.
Now, she was no longer sleepy, so she got up and washed up.
Mr. Meng had already prepared everything. After breakfast, they went down the mountain and headed all the way to the capital, hoping to arrive there before the trial.
The case of Baili Yanqing had attracted the attention of the entire capital city for a long time, and soon the trial came to an end. On the day of the trial, Baili Yanqing was taken out of the cell and went to court to await trial.
In the hall, Emperor Jing of Wei sat on the throne, next to him were the Minister of Dali Temple Xiang Ru, and the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture Tan Qinghui.
In the hall, Sang Nian was kneeling there with his back straight.
Baili Yanqing was brought over. He walked forward and did not kneel, but simply saluted: "Your humble servant greets the emperor."
Seeing that Baili Yanqing did not have the attitude of a prisoner at all, Emperor Jing of Wei frowned and said, "Baili Yanqing, do you plead guilty?"
Unlike the prefect of Jingzhao, the Dali Temple usually does not allow the people to watch outside the hall when handling cases. But on this day, he deliberately let the people watch this case. Wei Jingdi's intentions were too obvious.
It was nothing more than a previous bet. Emperor Jing of Wei had determined that Baili Yanqing was guilty and had specially asked so many common people to be witnesses.
Baili Yan looked at Emperor Jing of Wei anxiously: "Your Majesty, I don't know what crime I have committed. How can I confess it?"
Xiang Ru said, "Bai Li Yanqing, don't play dumb here. The person kneeling in the hall is your mother, Sang."
