After I traveled through the book, I made the plot of the vicious female supporting role overturn

Chapter 157

Sikong Lie's heart trembled when Baili Shun called him "Master". The corners of his lips trembled slightly, showing both joy and disappointment.

The old man and the young man stared at each other, as if they both wanted to find the shadow of their past in the other.

however……

In any case, they are no longer the good masters who taught their children everything they knew, and the sensible and obedient disciples they once were.

"Baili Shun, the third prince is different!" Sikong Lie looked at him and continued, "The hexagram says that the third prince is a true dragon born into the world, and is the future emperor destined by heaven! We have sent people to examine the body. There is a dark purple palm print two inches to the right of the heart, and the surrounding blood is like mist spreading around the body."

"From the marks and the witness testimony, you, Baili Shun, are undoubtedly the murderer of the Third Prince!"

"His Majesty dotes on the Third Prince the most, and he couldn't swallow his food when he heard about this. Not long ago in the Imperial Study, His Majesty has issued an order that once it is confirmed, you will be torn into pieces by five horses at Caishikou! And all the properties under the name of Tianshui Tower will be turned over to the national treasury!"

Hearing this, Baili Shun struggled to prop up his weak body and replied respectfully: "First, although I fought with the Third Prince, I was in front of everyone and I still kept my sense of propriety. I would never endanger his life."

"Second, the Third Prince and the princess behaved improperly, robbing women, and were extremely vicious. The Third Prince was even worse! He held a flower-viewing banquet, and toyed with and raped women to death. Are those bodies still buried under the Third Prince's residence? How can we trust the testimony of a neighboring foreigner who is so righteous?"

Sikong Lie's eyes narrowed, he was obviously shocked by the second item listed by Baili Shun.

The third prince Ji Yuheng usually lives a secluded life, behaves in a low-key and humble manner. How could he do such a thing?

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are slandering the royal family!"

Sikong Lie was angry at Baili Shun's frivolity, but Baili Shun looked cold and tore open his clothes, revealing his chest wrapped in gauze and covered in blood.

"This is my third point. I have evidence that there is no way he could have been killed."

The smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger. Sikong Lie stepped forward quickly and checked carefully.

Although the wound had shown signs of healing, the extent of the bleeding still indicated that the injury was not light, and could even be said to be severe.

In this way, as Princess Tiliana said, the possibility of severely injuring or killing the Third Prince, whom he had personally taught, with a single blow was greatly reduced.

"If Lord Sikong does not care about our old friendship, then please enforce the law impartially and keep my name clear."

"You..." Sikong Lie hesitated to speak, the pain and confusion in his eyes becoming more and more obvious.

Suddenly, the guard of the death row came back and reported at the door.

"Sir, there is a man outside the death row who wants to see you. He wants to present a key piece of evidence to testify for Baili Shun."

Baili Shun suddenly raised his eyes and looked outside in surprise.

Who will testify for me? Who? Who else?

Sikong Lie casually straightened Baili Shun's collar and walked out of the prison.

Outside the prison, Ji Yun saw the jailer leading an old man in black out. He sensed the man's gradually approaching, unfathomable state of mind and solemn and heavy pressure, and immediately confirmed the man's identity.

Without waiting for the other party to come closer, he hurriedly went up to him and knelt down to Sikong Lie.

"Your subordinate Ji Yun is here to deliver a piece of evidence to the owner of Tianshui Tower."

After saying that, he held up the envelope and handed it to Sikong Lie.

Sikong Lie did not move. The prison guard took the letter and was about to open it to read it, but just as he unfolded the letter, Ji Yun stopped him.

"Lord Sikong, the contents of this letter can only be read by you in person. This concerns the reputation of the royal family and cannot be entrusted to anyone else."

Sikong Lie frowned slightly and raised his hand to take the envelope from the prison guard.

"I remember that you are Baili Shun's subordinate. The things you sent cannot be used as evidence."

Ji Yun bowed his head and said, "Lord Sikong loves the people like his own children, and everyone knows that he is upright and incorruptible."

Sikong Lie paused as he held the letter in his hand.

He raised his eyes slightly and looked at Ji Yun. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and fell on Ji Yun as if to burn a hole in his head.

In the silence, the only sound was the sound of the letter being unfolded.

However, in just a moment, the letter hit Ji Yun in the face.

A deep voice suddenly rang in his ears, making Ji Yun dizzy.

Sikong Lie's eyebrows were stern and he was filled with anger. His sleeves were flying and his spiritual energy was surging, forcing Ji Yun to kneel on the ground unexpectedly.

He stared at Ji Yun with a sneer and said, "Who are you in league with to be so presumptuous?"

Ji Yun shuddered and broke out in a cold sweat.

He remembered Lin Ruojin's repeated warnings before he set out. No matter what, he had to stick to the truth, even if he was attacked by swords.

Otherwise, not only would he be unable to help Baili Shun, he would also be killed on the spot.

Remembering Lin Ruojin's instructions, Ji Yun bowed his head again and said, "I dare not! The words in the letter were written by Master Di Ling, the head of Qingyun Sect. I sent this letter just to prove the innocence of the host. Only the head of Qingyun Sect knows whether the words in it are true or false!"

"What can this treasonous letter of yours prove for Baili Shun?" Sikong Lie asked.

"The host did not fight with the Third Prince for a woman, nor did he intend to meet the Third Prince. Instead, he was invited by the head of Qingyun to perform a righteous act on his way back!"

Ji Yun was extremely nervous, his tongue was a little tied, but when he noticed that the spiritual energy around Sikong Lie was gradually gathering, he continued boldly: "The head of Qingyun is still in Qingyun. If you have any questions, you can send someone to inquire. The corpse of the third prince can also testify!"

Under Sikong Lie's long sleeves, his five fingers suddenly clenched.

On the other side, at the Third Prince’s residence, servants were hanging white lanterns at the door.

The atmosphere in the once magnificent mansion was now extremely depressing. As Luo Yingtian was still there, the servants did not dare to say much.

To show their loyalty, they all wiped away their non-existent tears with sad faces, and expressed their regret and gratitude for the non-existent "favors" that the Third Prince had shown them.

And those beautiful maids and concubines hid in their own rooms, and through the window screens, they looked timidly at the main house where the evil man was.

The entire mansion was filled with the smell of fireworks. In the ice coffin in the master bedroom lay the man who was loved by the whole world - the third prince Ji Yuheng.

The second guardian mage, Luo Yingtian, was dressed in mourning clothes. He took the shroud handed to him by the servant and prepared to change it for Ji Yuheng.

Ji Yuheng had been dead for a long time, but because of the ice coffin, his appearance did not look gray or pale. In fact, it could even be said that his complexion was normal, as if he were still alive.

Luo Yingtian had just taken off the man's outer robe when he heard Sikong Lie's voice coming from the jade pendant hanging on his waist.

“Yingtian, are you still in the Third Prince’s residence?”

Luo Yingtian turned around and waved away the servants behind him. After they dispersed, he held the jade tablet and replied, "It's still there. His Majesty has ordered the immediate burial of the third prince during the morning court today. What about you? Are you in the death row again?"

Sikong Lie rubbed his brows. He heard the movement of setting up camp on the opposite side.

I was confused in my heart.

"Ah Lie, your Majesty's meaning is very clear. In fact, it doesn't matter even if Baili Shun doesn't recognize it."

"I know, but..."

"I know that you taught Baili to grow up, but you also watched the Third Prince grow up. Moreover, he has a special status, as you know. No matter what, Baili Shun will have to pay the price."

Sikong Lie closed his eyes helplessly.

Now, with His Majesty secretly exerting pressure, the princess who was to be married off to another country was also furious and demanding an explanation, and coupled with the people's gossip, Baili Shun's fate seemed doomed.

But he didn't want Baili Shun to die miserably, even though his family had some deep hatred for him...

As he held his forehead in deep thought, the letter in the death row suddenly flashed through his mind, and he felt vaguely that there was still hope for a turnaround.

As long as he checked Ji Yuheng's body again, everything would be possible.

Although he laughed at his own stubbornness, he did not slow down at all and hurried to the Third Prince's Palace.

At this moment, Sikong Lie didn't know that there was another group of people secretly watching his every move.

Zhe Ye, who had not left his room for a long time, stood on the roof of Mirror Flower Water Moon Pavilion wearing a fox fur cloak.

She has a graceful figure and long flowing hair.

Zhe Ye placed his slender knuckles on the amulet on his chest and stroked it very gently and slowly over and over again. As he looked in the direction of the Third Prince's mansion, he smiled sinisterly and fiercely.

Looking back, Zhe Ye said to Yun, who was dressed in black, "Grab him before Sikong Lie gets here. I want to handle it myself!"

"Also, notify Qian'er to evacuate. She is no longer needed."

"Yes."

Yun jumped off the roof and quickly disappeared in front of Zhe Ye.

The young man slowly withdrew his gaze, exerted a little force with his fingers, and pulled off the amulet on his chest. It had a simple shape and poor stitching.

He held it in his palm and looked at it again and again, with a hint of smile in his eyes.

"It's so ugly..."

The air was a little cold, and his throat felt dry from the cold.

"Don't be mad at me, I have to..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Zhe Ye frowned suddenly as if he was suddenly awakened, "Ridiculous, what nonsense am I talking about..."

How could he become so annoying and guilty? How could a man like him feel guilty?

As I was stunned, the sky, which had been cold for a long time, suddenly began to float down in sheets of white.

The amulet floated down into the young man's palm and landed on his gradually tightening fingertips.

"Snowing……"
