Chapter 376 Your Highness, do you have any last words?

"I have nothing to monitor you. I just happened to meet you." Wei Zhongxian said coldly: "I told you earlier, Yang Yanzhang is narrow-minded and will never tolerate you."

"Whatever you say." Han Rui said helplessly, "Anyway, I won't admit anything I haven't done."

"You are still stubborn. When I fall into His Majesty's hands, you will still dare to deny it." Wei Zhongxian sneered and said, "Come and take me away."

Han Rui did not resist and allowed Wei Zhongxian's men to escort him. When he went out, he looked back and saw a big yellow dog parked on a branch in the courtyard. His body was shiny and white, which was very conspicuous.

Dahuang is the best among dogs. He is not only intelligent and fluent in human language, but also has superb riding and shooting skills. He once followed Emperor Taizong to conquer the world and made many great achievements.

It's just that as he got older, he gradually degenerated and became a pet dog for ordinary people to walk and play in villages and towns near the capital.

Wei Zhongxian was worthy of being an official, shrewd and observant. As soon as he discovered something unusual, he immediately asked someone to catch the big yellow dog, and then took Han Rui back to the palace.

Everything was arranged perfectly, and no one would suspect that Wei Zhongxian was connected with Yang Yanzhang. After all, Yang Yanzhang didn't know whether Han Rui was imprisoned in the station or had escaped.

When Han Rui saw Li Shimin again, he felt sad. Although he knew that this matter was indeed related to Yang Yanzhang, he didn't want Li Shimin to help.

"Father." Han Rui sighed, lowered his head and said, "My son and I have failed in our duties and have brought shame on our father."

Han Rui knew in his heart that Yang Yanzhang was definitely not that stupid. During the banquet, he pretended to be ignorant and introduced Wei Zhongxian into the post house. This was just to confuse everyone, making people think that Han Rui was afraid of the imperial power and did not dare to refuse Yang Yanzhang's invitation. Submit yourself and serve under him.

Yang Yanzhang was noncommittal and said calmly: "In that case, how do you plan to make up for my loss?"

"Father, I am willing to die to apologize." Han Rui bowed his hands.

"Okay, I'll help you so that you don't have to continue to harm others in this world." Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Come here and give me poisonous wine."

"Uh!" Han Rui was stunned and couldn't believe that Li Shimin was willing to kill himself regardless of his family ties.

"Brother Emperor." Yang Yanzhang exclaimed and said urgently: "Don't kill him."

"Brother Emperor, you are crazy. You actually allowed the traitor to assassinate the king." Wei Zhongxian shouted, with excitement on his face. He wished he could applaud to celebrate that he could finally get rid of the thorn in his side.

The other officials had different expressions, including gloating, sympathy for the enemy, pity, regret, and contempt. They felt that Yang Yanzhang was so stupid that he was even willing to kill his own father.

But that's fine. Without a competitor, there is no doubt more chances for me to win.

Under the gazes of the ministers who were gloating or jealous and angry, Wei Zhongxian smiled sinisterly and said: "How about it, Han Rui, what else do you have to say now?"

Han Rui took a deep breath, walked slowly to Yang Yanzhang, gently stretched out his hand to hold his cold arm, and comforted him gently.

"Emperor brother, don't worry, the emperor's sister-in-law will protect you." Yang Yanzhang said softly: "She will definitely save you."

Wei Zhongxian snorted and said, "Concubine Li, I don't know where she is now."

Han Rui's expression dimmed, and he turned to say: "Second brother, listen to me, I really did not betray the emperor. There was a misunderstanding. You must not believe his slander."

"Stop talking nonsense." Wei Zhongxian said coldly: "Confess quickly and explain your plan, otherwise you will not blame us for being rude."

"That's right. If you hadn't been greedy for wealth, how could you have secretly communicated with foreign countries?"

"You can't keep people like this."

"Your Majesty is kind-hearted, and out of consideration for your former brother-in-law, I will spare your life and confess quickly."

A group of people talked and criticized Han Rui one after another. Wei Zhongxian stared coldly and shouted: "Shut up, everyone. If you make any more noise, you will be shot without mercy."

It was quiet for a moment, but a group of ministers were still angry and whispering.

"My dear friends, don't forget who is the protagonist tonight." Wei Zhongxian reminded gloomily. Everyone suddenly woke up and immediately fell silent.

"Your Majesty." Yang Yanzhang bowed and said: "This matter is of great importance and we must remain silent. Please forgive me for not obeying the imperial edict."

"You bastard." Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth, wishing he could pounce on him and tear Yang Yanzhang's disguise apart.

Han Rui shook his head gently, signaling Yang Yanzhang to calm down, then raised his head and said, "The Han family and I are innocent. Please tell me, Your Majesty."

"Mingjian?" Li Shimin sneered: "You said I wronged you, so how can the Han family explain it?"

"Queen, how is the queen?" Han Rui asked later.

"She hanged herself." Li Shimin said, his voice calm, as if an unrelated person had died. There was no pain at all, and he didn't show the slightest sadness.

Han Rui was shocked and speechless for a long time. Li Shimin did not disturb him and drank tea slowly. Wei Zhongxian next to him could not help but urge: "How about it, you should be careful now and just let us go."

"I was negligent. I didn't expect Yang Yanzhang to be so cruel and ruthless." Han Rui said bitterly: "The emperor is wise, but I have nothing to say."

Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed and ordered the guards to tie up Han Rui.

"Slow down." Yang Yanzhang shouted, his eyes flickering.

"Huh?" Wei Zhongxian frowned and said, "Your Highness, do you have any last words?"

"Han Rui, are you still hiding any tricks?" Yang Yanzhang asked.

"Do you think I'm someone who is deliberately trying to deceive you?" Han Rui asked.

Yang Yanzhang thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Although you did not participate in the poetry and poetry competition, your attainments in poetry are far superior to some people.

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. I never think of the poems you wrote as plagiarism. I only have a superficial understanding of them. How can I beat you? "

Han Rui smiled and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence. Yang Yanzhang continued: "Then, why do you want to help me?"

"I owe you this." Han Rui said frankly: "Because I owe the Han family."

"What do you owe me?" Yang Yanzhang was surprised that he had never asked Han Rui for anything.

Han Rui smiled, pointed to the pen, ink, paper and inkstones placed on the desk and said, "Do you still remember the two things I promised you in the study?"

Yang Yanzhang carefully searched the memory in his mind and found that there seemed to be such a thing.

At the beginning, Han Rui had just entered the court and became an official. Because of his talent, he was very popular among the princes. Others were naturally jealous and kept looking for trouble. In the end, both sides suffered losses. Yang Yanzhang lost to Li Ye. Unwilling to reconcile, he asked Han Rui Rui borrowed the pen and ink.

"Originally, what I promised you was to write poems and lyrics for you to express my gratitude." Han Rui smiled and said, "However, you have other plans."
