Chapter 337
"Since the third child is pleading for you, this matter will be put on hold for now, and we will discuss everything after tomorrow's spring." The emperor looked at Ouyang Yunsu for a while, then at Ouyang Yuyun, and said with dark eyes: "But... ...Eunuch Liu, send someone to continue investigating this matter, and send all the evidence found here to me."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Eunuch Liu responded quickly, and then stood with his head down in silence, as if this person did not exist at all.
"You guys go down first, fifth brother, prepare well for Chun Wei's affairs, and don't make any troubles!" The emperor urged them again, waving his hand to signal them to go down.
"Father, I have something important to tell you." When Ouyang Yuyun got up, Ouyang Yunsu didn't get up immediately, but still knelt at the same place.
"Huh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and waved at Ouyang Yuyun, signaling him to leave first.
Ouyang Yuyun glanced at Ouyang Yunsu, and retreated obediently. Even if he wanted to ask Ouyang Yunsu anything now, he had to wait until he left the imperial study.
"Tell me, what's the matter." The emperor's mood was really not much better, and he didn't find any progress, which was really annoying.
"Returning to the emperor, my son suddenly received a secret letter last night, which said that the old Pingyang Hou Shenhou was not dead at all." Ouyang Yunsu took out a secret letter that was forged overnight from his sleeve as he spoke. Handed over to Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu walked quickly to Ouyang Yuyun, took the letter, turned around and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor opened the secret letter and saw a line written on it: "Shen Hou is not dead, he returned with revenge."
"Revenge..." The emperor frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Isn't Shen Hou's death an accident? What kind of revenge does he want?"
"I don't know, so I told my father." Ouyang Yunsu raised his eyes slightly, and found that the emperor was not too shocked, and was secretly surprised.
Shouldn't a person be a little surprised to know that a dead person has come back to life and is coming back for revenge?
Why does the emperor's expression not seem to show any surprise other than a little dignified?
And just now Ouyang Yunsu could see clearly that Eunuch Liu naturally showed a surprised expression when he said that Shen Hou was not dead, and then immediately restrained himself, but this was a skill he had practiced in the palace for many years.
But again, this also shows one thing.
Even a man like Eunuch Liu, who never showed his emotions or anger, was a little surprised. Why wasn't the emperor surprised?
Did he already know that Shen Hou was not dead?
From the few words he asked, it can be clearly seen that he was not surprised that Shen Hou came back, but wondered what kind of revenge he was taking...
"I know about this matter, you don't have to worry about it, I will deal with it." Before Ouyang Yunsu could figure it out, the emperor had already spoken again.
"Yes, father, my son will leave." Ouyang Yunsu retreated full of doubts, thinking that he might be able to deduce something after going back to discuss with Ouyang Haoxuan, and hurriedly walked outside the palace, but unexpectedly From a distance, he saw Ouyang Yuyun standing on the palace road, obviously waiting for him.
"Fifth brother, tomorrow will be Chunwei, why are you still standing here?" Once Ouyang Yunsu meets the person he was guarding against, he instantly becomes the gentle and harmless prince in the past.
"Third brother, I would like to thank third brother for helping me out today." Ouyang Yuyun said to Ouyang Yunsu very politely: "I don't know if third brother has time, let's have a drink?"
"Fifth brother, you also know that we have different ways and do not conspire with each other. I am not saving you today, but I just don't want to affect the students all over the world. After all, there is no difference between temporarily replacing the examiner and changing generals, so drinking... just avoid it " Ouyang Yunsu's completely merciless words made Ouyang Yuyun's face a little embarrassed for a moment, but he quickly returned to his usual expression.
"Third brother really likes to joke." Ouyang Yuyun said with a smile: "Third brother's words are okay to fool children, but for me, it's too far-fetched, so I want to hear what third brother really thinks."
"Real thoughts?" Ouyang Yunsu touched his chin, and suddenly said with a smile: "Why should I tell you? Fifth brother, have you ever seen the two sides fighting each other, and the two armies exchanged tactics in advance?"
"Third brother, do you mean to declare war with me?" Ouyang Yuyun asked with a murderous look in his eyes, but still with a smile on his face.
Ouyang Yunsu sighed slightly in his heart, you see, this is why he didn't want to be emperor.
Obviously they should be brothers who are close to each other like a family, but don't they want to kill each other in the end?
However, this is true for aristocratic families, let alone the royal family?
"I'm just making an analogy." Ouyang Yunsu patted Ouyang Yuyun's shoulder, and said with a feeling: "It's rare for you and my brothers to be able to talk so calmly, fifth brother, you and I should take care of each other !"
For a moment, Ouyang Yuyun always felt that Ouyang Yunsu wanted to say something, but Ouyang Yunsu didn't say anything after all, turned around and left.
Ouyang Yuyun didn't speak again, because he knew that from today onwards, they would never go back to their childhood.
And the battle for the heir apparent has been a life-and-death battle from beginning to end.
If you lose, you will die.
Just as Ouyang Yunsu and Ouyang Yuyun were standing on the palace road talking, Li Ruoxian panicked and returned to the private seat where Yun Yuexi and Chu Chu were, walked quickly to Yun Yuexi as soon as she entered the door, and said hastily : "Do you have a way? Help me!"
"You believe it now?" Yun Yuexi looked up at Li Ruoxian and said, "Do you think that if Ouyang Yuyun took you to blame, who would protect you from the Li family or the Yun family?"
Li Ruoxian smacked his lips a few times, but in the end he didn't say anything. He sat down on the chair and shook his head palely.
Yes, as Yun Yuexi said, no one would care about her life or death.
Even if the Li family knew that she was Li Ruoxian, if Ouyang Yuyun really blamed herself, the Li family would not save her.
Because they could just take this opportunity to make Ouyang Yuyun feel that he owed the Li family a favor. After all, it was a life in exchange for his turning point.
As for the Yun family... No one would care about their own life or death.
Even Yun Yudie's mother-in-law, Wang Shi, now only cares about protecting her only son. How can she remember that she has a daughter in Yunfu?
"You can rest assured that even if Ouyang Yuyun has already told the emperor that the shop is owned by Yun Yudie, the emperor will not accuse him for the time being." Yun Yuexi spoke slowly, and said in a low voice: "Because tomorrow's spring will be the highlight, so , I ask you, do you want to live?"
"I want to! Of course I want to!" Li Ruoxian immediately recovered, nodded desperately, and begged: "Yun Yuexi, I know that I have done many things to deal with you before, but now I have suffered retribution, and you have also punished me. It has become like this, so I beg you to forgive me, please? Please show mercy and save me..."
"Okay, I can save you, and I can also tell you what to do." Yun Yuexi saw the light of hope rising in Li Ruoxian's eyes, waved her hand and said, "Don't get excited, I will tell you what to do." , As for whether you want to do it or not, it’s up to you.”
"Okay! Tell me!" Li Ruoxian frowned, thought for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "As long as I can save my life, I can do anything."
"Disfigurement." Yun Yuexi pointed to Li Ruoxian's face and said: "I can destroy your face, and then you can beat the drum on the right side of Jingzhao Mansion according to the time I said, and sue Ouyang Yuyun for forcing you Pleading guilty for him, even secretly sent someone to hunt you down, and even ruined your face."
"On the right..." Li Ruoxian blinked, and suddenly exclaimed, "Are you asking me to beat the Tongtian Drum?"
Tongtiangu, as the name suggests, goes directly to Shangting.
Since ancient times, there have been two drums on the left and right sides of Zhu Qiguo's yamen. The drum on the left is played when ordinary people have to deal with something that needs to be solved by the yamen.
The reason why Ouyang Yunsu beheaded that dude of the Yue family back then was because that lawyer beat the drum to the sky.
Once the Tongtian Drum is sounded, all the people in the city will come to testify, and the trial of the case requires three joint trials, and even a prince is required to sit in charge.
If the prince can't make up his mind in the end, then he will bring the case to the emperor, and the emperor will decide.
Of course, the Tongtian Drum cannot be played casually. Once it is found out that it is a false accusation or a small grievance, the person who beat the drum will be severely punished.
Of course Li Ruoxian knew this too, so she hesitated.
Because if she beats the Tongtian Drum, if she can't sue Ouyang Yuyun, then what awaits her is an unimaginable death.
"Li Ruoxian, actually, what do you have to worry about?" At this time, God Assist Chuchu said, "You are Yun Yudie now, and it's not like you can't change your face after you've been disfigured. When the time comes to sue Ouyang Yuyun, let Xi I'll just turn you into Li Ruoxian directly?"
"But... Li Ruoxian was already dead at the beginning!" Li Ruoxian said hesitantly: "And my aunt and the others know my identity, and they will definitely not spare me then!"
"Then just turn into any other person!" Chu Chu said indifferently: "You have carrion bones and muscles in your body now, as long as Xi'er is willing, she can turn you into whoever she wants, and you don't care. What are you worried about?"
"But..." Li Ruoxian still hesitated. Although she knew that Yun Yuexi would never do anything uncertain, if she married Ouyang Yuyun, she would enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth. If she became someone else , how to survive in the future?
"Li Ruoxian, you decide this matter yourself." Yun Yuexi patted Chu Chu, who was still about to say something, and said with a slight smile, "To be honest, you really have no choice but to listen to me now, because Ouyang Yuyun Someone will be sent to kill you tonight, and you will leave a suicide note, bluntly saying that you did everything, if you don't believe it, you can go back and try, but...you know Yun Manrou Are you helping the prince deliver medicine?"
