MLIAM Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Fake Love Letter. His clumsy work is not fit to be seen…

After the ceremony, Yu Shuli threw aside the red ribbon and simply took out two red threads.

“What is this?” Wei Yan asked in a low voice.

“A wedding gift,” Yu Shuli said, “It’s a bit hastily prepared, but there’s no helping it. You know what kind of person I am, I can’t do anything else romantic.”

Wei Yan chuckled softly, “Mm, and so?”

Yu Shuli tied one red thread around Wei Yan’s wrist, and had Wei Yan tie the other around his own.

After identical red threads appeared on both their hands, he smiled, “Alright, in this life, you are Yu Shuli’s person.”

Wei Yan’s eyes flickered, and he responded, “Okay.”

Ignoring the strange gazes of the people around them, Yu Shuli continued to ask him, “What about you?”

“What?”

“You should say it too,” Yu Shuli glared at him.

Wei Yan was momentarily stunned, his eyes slightly reddened, and he followed his wishes, “Okay. You, Yu Shuli, in this life, are my, Wei Yan’s, person.”

The two exchanged a smile, then turned together to look at Zhao Yong and Yu Miaomiao.

The expressions on their faces were not pleasant.

Seeing Yu Shuli look over, Yu Miaomiao forced a smile, “Third brother, are you willing to listen to me now?”

Yu Shuli gave a faint “Mm” and pulled Wei Yan to sit down beside him, leaning intimately against his leg, “Speak.”

Yu Miaomiao’s face paled.

Yu Shuli’s attitude towards Wei Yan didn’t seem to regard him as a potential suspect at all…

Perhaps he hadn’t believed a word she said.

In fact, perhaps when he pulled Wei Yan, strongly demanding to get married first, it showed that he already believed in Wei Yan.

Yu Miaomiao sobbed, her eyes misty as if filled with water, “That day, Lord Wei wrote me a love letter, inviting me to meet. I…” Her neck flushed red, “Lord Wei is the dream lover of so many young ladies, at the time I only felt lucky and secretly delighted, as if I was dazed, and actually agreed…”

She covered her face, her voice trembling, making people inexplicably feel sorry for her, “It was I who was shameless, but… who would have thought that the impeccably dressed Lord Wei would actually be such a beast?!”

The crowd hissed, glancing at Wei Yan, who was at the center of the storm.

“Is the love letter still kept?” Zhao Yong raised his eyebrows and asked.

“Of course!” Yu Miaomiao took out the letter paper, which she had probably kept for many years, from her close-fitting clothes.

“I’ve always kept it very carefully.”

Yu Shuli reached out and took it, and under Wei Yan’s watchful gaze, slowly opened it.

He read the love poem on the letter aloud in front of everyone.

The crowd listened, not daring to breathe loudly. Madam Wu furrowed her brows, “How is it? Is it a forgery of Immortal Qing’s handwriting?”

Yu Shuli shook his head, then studied it carefully again and smiled, “It is indeed Wei Yan’s handwriting.”

He reached out and hooked Wei Yan’s finger, smiling, “You had feelings for me back then?”

Wei Yan’s eyelashes trembled, and he gave a low “Mm”.

Yu Miaomiao’s face paled, “No! That was written to me!”

“What are you arguing about?” Yu Shuli threw the letter paper onto the table, “Which word, which sentence on it clearly states that it’s for you?”

He sneered, “I don’t know if my brain was filled with water when I hadn’t lost my memory, that I would believe this kind of thing.”

Yu Miaomiao snatched the letter back, crying, “This is the love letter for me, it’s just that he won’t admit it now! Don’t be deceived by his sweet talk!”

Yu Shuli shook his head, “Now that things have come to this, if you still want to talk nonsense, then don’t blame me for being heartless.” He beckoned to Wei Yan, “Can you bring out your pinnacle artwork?”

Wei Yan’s heart was itching from the hook of his finger, and he gave a muffled “Mm”, somewhat absentmindedly shifting his gaze to his bright lips. “Is there a reward?”

“Yes! I’ll reward you with an hour,” Yu Shuli said, playing a tacit riddle in front of everyone.

Wei Yan then smiled, “You said it yourself.”

“Mm, I keep my word.”

Having obtained permission, Yu Shuli had his servants move Wei Yan’s painting box from their room.

“Ji An, what are you doing bringing this out?” Even Madam Wu couldn’t understand, “In the past, Immortal Qing has treasured this box very much, I don’t even know what’s inside.”

“You’ll know soon,” Yu Shuli glanced at Wei Yan, “His clumsy work, not fit to be seen.”

Wei Yan didn’t have any unhappy expression upon hearing this, only smiled slightly, preoccupied with looking at him.

Yu Shuli deftly opened the painting box with a “click”.

He picked and chose from it, finally finding a painting.

In front of everyone, he generously opened it and held it up for everyone to see.

The crowd’s gazes were shaken, and they all exclaimed in surprise.

“It’s a painting of the Duke of Zhen Guo!”

“This is so childish… it must be a work from many years ago, right?”

“Look at the inscription on the painting! It’s exactly the same as the poem that was just read!”

The crowd gasped, “So this love poem was written by Prime Minister Wei to the Duke of Zhen Guo?!” They shifted their gazes to Yu Miaomiao, their expressions complex, “You stole someone else’s love letter and even framed them like this, it’s really too much!”

Yu Miaomiao had tears streaming down her face, her hand clenched tightly in hatred, crumpling the letter paper that she had originally kept so well, “I didn’t! It was written to me!”

Wei Yan slowly stood up, “Years ago, I asked you to help me deliver a letter to Ji An. But I didn’t expect that you would not only open it yourself, but also fantastically regard it as a love letter written to you, it’s truly absurd. I was considerate of the good relationship between Ji An and you, and thought that it was rejected by him, so I kept silent about it. But I didn’t expect that this letter was actually secretly kept by you, he didn’t see the letter, and didn’t have time to reject me.”

“That’s not it!” Yu Miaomiao anxiously looked at Yu Shuli, “He just wanted to use this method to flirt with both of us at the same time! Later, he even used the love poem to invite me to a secret meeting, I only believed it because I saw this love poem! Ji An! He’s a bad person! Don’t believe him!”

“Since he’s a bad person, you’re still thinking about him after so many years? Are you cheap?!” Yu Shuli grabbed Wei Yan’s hand, his knuckles lightly tapping on the table, and sneered, “Was he familiar with you before?”

Yu Miaomiao was stunned, “What?”

“If you weren’t familiar before, would you be able to directly go if a strange man wrote you a love poem inviting you to meet without any reservations?” Yu Shuli frowned slightly, “It can’t be because he looks good, so you can just meet him casually, right?”

Wei Yan chuckled softly, lowering his eyes without a word, only playing with Yu Shuli’s fingers with great interest, it seemed that he had finally untied the knot in his heart, and began to hand over the matter entirely to Yu Shuli as if it were none of his business.

Yu Miaomiao’s eyes trembled, and she glanced at Zhao Yong, her intertwined fingers tightening, “Lord Wei said I… had a good figure, so he admired me. After all… after all… men are all lustful…”

The quiet sentence exploded, shocking everyone once again.

Wei Yan, who hadn’t reacted for a long time, chuckled softly, finally slowly turning his gaze to Yu Miaomiao’s face, and then laughed again, “You?”

Two short words, without any extra words, were extremely hurtful.

Yu Shuli tugged at Wei Yan’s hand, “Wei Yan, don’t be sarcastic, we’re discussing the matter at hand.”

Wei Yan innocently spread his hands, “Okay, you handle it.” Then he leaned his head against Yu Shuli’s shoulder, collapsing onto his body as if he were boneless.

“Yu Miaomiao…” Yu Shuli sighed helplessly, “Even if you… mm… have a good figure, you can’t just sleep with him because of a good figure, right?”

“Was there any drug that day, or were you fully conscious the whole time, can you say that?”

Yu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had long prepared for this topic. She sniffed, speaking in a muffled voice, “Naturally, Lord Wei forced himself on me…” She glared at Wei Yan resentfully, “That day, after I was tricked to the pavilion in the post station, Lord Wei first coaxed me with gentle words, and when he saw that I was unwilling, he forcibly pulled me…” The words behind her were swallowed back into her stomach, making a wronged appearance.

And the instigator she spoke of, tilted his head and fell asleep on Yu Shuli’s shoulder.

Yu Shuli gritted his teeth and pushed him, “Wei Yan, wake up! It’s a confrontation! You’re a potential ra-, pist!”

“I haven’t done anything, what do I have to confront?” He hooked his lips and winked at Yu Shuli, “Isn’t this relying on my husband to help me clear my name.”

The crowd “hissed” again, seemingly unable to imagine that the usually cold and aloof Lord Wei was so clingy in front of the Duke of Zhen Guo, and couldn’t help but look at Yu Shuli with sympathy.

Some people began to ponder, it seemed that Yu Shuli was more like the one on top in this couple’s relationship…

Although the previous evidence was enough to show that the slander on Wei Yan’s head was all fabricated by Yu Miaomiao herself, but now if Prime Minister Wei was the one on the bottom in bed, then he wouldn’t actively rape Yu Miaomiao, which added another solid piece of evidence.

Yu Shuli pinched Wei Yan’s waist hard, before looking at Yu Miaomiao again, “You said, Wei Yan first coaxed you with gentle words, tell me what he coaxed you with?”

“Isn’t… isn’t this the point? You brat! Do you know how to try a case? If you don’t, I’ll come!” Yu Huaxin couldn’t help but walk out and knock Yu Shuli on the head.

Yu Shuli was inexplicably beaten, and rubbed his head in annoyance, “No, I want to know if Wei Yan has been flirting with others behind my back, what’s wrong with that? Isn’t that how mother investigates you every time? Did you dare to say a fart back then?”

Yu Huaxin was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

With this outburst, the originally Silent atmosphere suddenly became cheerful, and everyone took a breath, realizing that they could breathe.

The general who couldn’t get off the stage was pulled back by the General’s wife, who scolded, “Just watch in peace, what’s it to you? The son is stupid, you are still more stupid, you can rest assured.”

Madam Wu smiled kindly, and also said, “Let the children handle their own affairs. Since Immortal Qing believes in Ji An, let Ji An do it.”

“Hey, don’t I know how much this brat weighs?! Letting him try this kind of case, he’ll have to ruin it!”

“It doesn’t matter,” the old grandmother stood over, smiling confidently, “Anyway, Immortal Qing is there to back him up. That kid, he always pretends. If he didn’t have confidence, he wouldn’t be so nonchalant now.”

After this Oolong, Zhao Yong and Yu Miaomiao’s expressions were very unsightly.

Zhao Yong stood up and said, “Are you still going to try the case? You’re being so slow, are you trying to delay the time? We won’t leave until we get a result today.”

Yu Shuli shook his head, “I wouldn’t let you leave today even if I didn’t get a result.”

Zhao Yong’s face changed, “What do you mean?!”

“That’s what I mean,” Yu Shuli spread his hands.

He looked at Zhao Yong one last time, “Don’t interrupt.” And signaled Yu Miaomiao to answer his previous question, “Tell me, how did he coax you? I’ll listen to see if it’s the same as how he usually coaxes me.”

Yu Miaomiao’s eyes reddened, her expression stiff, “How he coaxed me, I’ve forgotten those humiliating and Dirty things, anyway… it wasn’t anything proper.”

Yu Shuli “ah”ed, and pinched Wei Yan again, “I’ll punish you to repeat it to me when we get back.”

“Say what? Improper things?” Wei Yan smiled, “Didn’t you hear enough of it in bed? Then I’m really going to say it? Can you handle it?”

Yu Shuli “hiss”ed, and hurriedly went to cover his mouth, but where could he cover it.

When everyone’s gazes swept over, Yu Shuli could only cover his face and pretend to be dead.

Seeing him like this, Wei Yan smiled, and having teased enough, he finally raised his eyes, his gaze falling on the opposite side, “You said that I coaxed you, and finally used force, then let me ask you, there were so many people on duty that day, why didn’t you call for help?”

Hearing this, Zhao Yong’s tightly furrowed brows became even tighter, and he looked at Yu Miaomiao.

Yu Miaomiao seemed to have received an imperial decree, and raised her eyes in hatred, “Because the one leading the duty that day was my third brother. And he… was sleeping in the military camp all day, and was absent from his duty.”

Wei Yan shook his head, “That’s not right.”

“Even if he was absent from his duty alone, could it be that the guards on duty that day were all dead? Don’t you know? On the hunting grounds, the Palace Imperial Guards plus the soldiers on duty in the military camp, there would be patrols back and forth in formations,” Wei Yan turned his gaze to Zhao Yong opposite him, “It can’t be that General Yu was sleeping with an entire military camp plus His Majesty’s Imperial Guards for the entire day, right?”

Everyone laughed a few times upon hearing this, thinking of that scene.

Only Zhao Yong, upon hearing the words “His Majesty’s Imperial Guards”, bit his teeth hatefully.

He knew that Wei Yan was deliberately emphasizing these words, and probably had evidence in his hand that he had forged the Emperor’s decree to mobilize the Imperial Guards that day, and there was some unease in his eyes at the moment.

“At that time, if General Yu was missing, it would be fine if you said that General Yu was absent from his duty, anyway, it would just be an account of being absent from his duty. But if you want to say that the guards on duty that day all suddenly disappeared…” Wei Yan glanced at Yu Miaomiao meaningfully, “Making false testimony in this kind of major case is punishable by death.”

“I…” Where had Yu Miaomiao heard of these things, she took a step back, her face greatly disordered.

“What are you panicking about?” Zhao Yong stood up, “Even if there were guards that day, it would take time to hear the call for help and rush over, it would be impossible to defend against Lord Wei wanting to mess around.”

Wei Yan nodded, “You’re right.”

“But you also said that it was me,bring, people, messing around, right?”

Zhao Yong said yes, “Wasn’t that what was tried that day? In the end, many people were involved.”

“Wasn’t His Highness the Crown Prince also present when those people were tried?” Wei Yan smiled, “If my memory is not bad, it seems that the former Crown Prince, you, was the one they for out?”

Zhao Yong’s neck stiffened, “They intentionally wronged me, didn’t Father Emperor investigate it all? Besides, those people at the time were all executed, and there’s no way to prove their deaths, you can say anything now.”

Wei Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, the corners of his lips curving into a mocking arc, “Who told you they were all dead?”

Zhao Yong was stunned, his entire face suddenly becoming Gloomy and unbearable, “Wei Yan, you dare to privately keep criminals, deceiving the Emperor and deceiving those above you?!”

“Yes, what can you do to me?” Wei Yan stood up, “His Highness should have had this awareness when he insulted and harmed me that day. Am I Wei Yan some kind of easy-going person?”

Zhao Yong clenched his fists with both hands, gnashing his teeth, “Wei Yan, you will not die a good death!”

Wei Yan chuckled lowly, “Who knows who will die first.”

He turned his head to look at the crowd, “Alright, have you watched enough of the excitement?”

The crowd Spoken, “Enough, enough… Prime Minister Wei was really wronged… We knew that Prime Minister Wei was such a man of Scenery and clear moon, how could he do such a harmful thing…”

The ministers present couldn’t help but have a few more points of respect and fear for Wei Yan.

This man… was really too terrifying.

To be wronged to this extent, yet he was in control the entire time, he even had the leisure to sell himself short, tricking his own husband into standing up to protect him, and toss some Husband and husband’s interest.

“Disperse, disperse…” Yu Shuli waved his hand impatiently, and looked at Zhao Yong again, “His Highness the Crown Prince, just wait for His Majesty to summon you, today’s matter will be combined with the previous matter, and we will settle the accounts together at that time.”

Zhao Yong took a few steps back sharply, about to escape.

At this moment, a breeze blew past, causing the leaves in the courtyard to rustle.

Yu Shuli’s ears twitched, and he Glancing to look outside.

In just this instant, the sound of two sharp weapons rang out in an instant.

Before the crowd could react, they only heard a “Puff” sound, Yu Shuli turned his head, only to see that a sharp arrow had already pierced into Zhao Yong’s heart.

The guests cried out in alarm, “Murder!”

“There’s an assassin!”

“Help! Help!”

Yu Shuli’s expression changed, and he grabbed Wei Yan in one hand, hiding him behind himself, observing the surroundings vigilantly.

He shouted outwards, “Northwest Army, martial law!”

However, after a long time, the cold arrow never came out again.

It seemed that it was specifically targeted at Zhao Yong, and after succeeding, it left Be cool.

Yu Miaomiao hid to one side Seser shaking, seeing that the crowd was about to leave under the protection of the guards, she also wanted to sneaking take advantage of the chaos to escape, but was directly caught by the Northwest Army.

Zhong Nian came in wearing armor and led the troops, immediately protecting all the guests, he reported to Yu Shuli with a cold and solemn face, “Little General, that person is very skilled, we didn’t even defend against him, he sneaked in using Disguise, now I have already sent people to chase after him, Mu Shaoyang also followed to chase after him, he should be able to catch a live one.”

Yu Shuli nodded, he looked at Zhao Yong, who was lying in a pool of blood, and couldn’t help but feel a little Annoying.

If something happened to Zhao Yong, then the matter of settling accounts would have to be delayed indefinitely.

After all, he was the old emperor’s own son, with human life in front, the other things he would Just in the momentum “not care”.

Yu Huaxin walked out and patted Yu Shuli’s shoulder, “You go to the Palace to report, leave this to Dad.”

Yu Shuli nodded.

In this situation, it was impossible not to enter the Palace.

After a flurry of arrangements, the Prime Minister’s Residence Daxun, administering medicine and Needle, and after more than half a day, they finally saved the Crown Prince’s life.

“Zhao Yong is after all the former Crown Prince, now either let him return to the Palace for treatment, or find the Palace imperial physician to take over, after all, it can’t be concealed from His Majesty,” Yu Shuli looked at Wei Yan, seeking his opinion.

Wei Yan nodded, “He is seriously injured and should not be moved, I will have Physician Yang leave the Palace, and then I will accompany you into the Palace.”

Who knew that just as the two of them reached the door, they were stopped by the Imperial Guards who suddenly arrived.

“You two lords, please come with us.”
