Chapter 505
"We don't know what the emperor wants to find, but the corpses of these people don't seem to have any painful expressions, and they obviously died voluntarily." Ouyang Haoxuan turned his head to look at Ouyang Qing, and asked in a deep voice: "What kind of person do you think can make people believe so much, and even say that they can die?"
"The predecessor of the Qing Pavilion was actually not what it is now." Ouyang Qing seemed to have known that Ouyang Haoxuan would ask himself, and explained seriously: "The predecessor of the Qing Pavilion was actually formed by a group of warlocks who pursued immortality, and these People believe in returning to the way of heaven."
"What is returning to the way of heaven?" Ouyang Yunhua asked in surprise.
"Follow the laws of nature, the strong will survive, and the weak will be enslaved." Ouyang Qing shrugged, as if remembering something, and said: "And they will use human blood to refine elixir, which is said to nourish the beauty of the sky, but they must use boys Blood."
"The children left in the village..." Ouyang Yunhua looked at Lin Xi, as if he wanted to ask him for something.
"Basically there are not many children, most of them are old people." Lin Xi explained: "When we went, they looked at us very strangely, as if..."
Lin Xi pondered for a while, and seemed to think of some suitable words to describe it after thinking for a while.
"Wolf."
"Qing Pavilion used to believe in wolves as totems, and they believed that a pack of wolves would be invincible when gathered together." Ouyang Qing nodded, agreeing with Lin Xi's description, "And they believed that wolves must absolutely believe in their masters and not betray their masters, otherwise they would be invincible." to be slaughtered."
"Then did these people die for their so-called masters?" Ouyang Yunhua yawned and said lazily, "Why do you know so clearly what I don't even know?"
"Because I'm Ouyang Qing." Ouyang Qing glanced at Ouyang Yunhua, and said lightly: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Lin Xi and the others went to various villages to inquire about the news. I'm afraid they have already startled the snake. We have to leave here first."
"Lin Xi, burn it." Ouyang Haoxuan nodded, he knew that Ouyang Qing would not say such words so easily, unless their situation was really dangerous.
"We didn't find anything out of our investigation, and in the end we have to save them." Ouyang Yunhua said helplessly, "It's really helpless."
"It's not that nothing has been found out, at least now we can be sure that Yao Fengchun is not the emperor's man." Ouyang Haoxuan left here, watched Lin Xi lead the people to burn all the corpses in the corpse pit from a distance, and said calmly: " Unfortunately, the emperor thought everything was under his control."
"How do you say that?" Ouyang Yunhua thought carefully about Yao Fengchun's appearance, and couldn't help saying with some disdain: "What can a person like Yao Fengchun do?"
"Looking at it now, we not only underestimated Yao Fengchun, but also didn't notice this person at all." A strange smile appeared on the corner of Ouyang Qing's mouth, and he and Ouyang Haoxuan looked at each other, as if they understood each other's thoughts .
In these years, the emperor is afraid that he has made wedding dresses for others with money, right?
In fact, they really don't know what the emperor wants to do, but Yao Fengchun's request is definitely not to obey the emperor's arrangement, but to follow something else.
And to make Yao Fengchun and even so many people in the Yao family obedient, I am afraid that there is only one person in this world who can do it.
The old man in black!
Ouyang Haoxuan, Ouyang Qing and Ouyang Yunhua saw that the corpses were almost burned, so they left here without further delay.
It's just that they didn't see it. After they left, a hunchbacked old woman appeared out of nowhere. Looking at their leaving figure, she smiled strangely, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.
……
And at this time, Yun Yuexi stopped Li Xiao on the main hall and was escorted away. Although the emperor didn't show any obvious anger, no one in the main hall dared to speak.
"The girl didn't mean to contradict the emperor, but just wanted to ask Li Xiao a few questions." Yun Yuexi explained to the emperor respectfully, and without waiting for the emperor's consent, she looked at Li Xiao and said, "Why to kill me."
"There are many reasons, it depends on which one you want to hear." Li Xiao seemed to have expected that Yun Yuexi would stop him, and said with a half-smile: "Or, you don't want to hear any of them."
"Then say it all, let's see which one I want to hear." Yun Yuexi didn't care about Li Xiao's attitude. It was so sharp that Li Ruoxian felt guilty for a while.
However, thinking that she didn't seem to have anything to feel sorry for Yun Yuexi, Li Ruoxian couldn't help straightening her back again, but she didn't look at Yun Yuexi either. Speaking of which, she still felt a little trembling in her heart.
"Because the emperor asked me to kill you." Sure enough, Li Xiao really wanted to die.
Yun Yuexi withdrew her gaze, looked at Li Xiao, and quickly asked before the emperor got angry: "What is the reason that makes you have to die?"
When a word comes out, the room is silent.
In fact, even Li Feng didn't see that Li Xiao wanted to die.
Ever since Li Xiao was brought in, Li Feng had always hoped that he would be exonerated, because no matter what, Li Feng couldn't get rid of the fact that he was from the Li family.
Li Xiao's silence made everyone feel a little strange, so after a while, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Let him go, you go down first."
When the imperial guards heard what the emperor said, they quickly let go of Li Xiao, and quietly retreated.
"There are so many people here, I won't tell." Li Xiao seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and then said in a cold voice: "And what I want to say is definitely what you want to know."
"You go out first." The emperor glanced at the Red Mansion and the others, signaling for them all to go out.
"Yun Yuexi, don't leave, this matter has something to do with you." Li Xiao raised his head and stared at Yun Yuexi, as if if Yun Yuexi left, he would not speak again.
"Okay, Yun Yuexi, stay." I don't know if I want to know why Li Xiao wants to die, and I don't know what the emperor wants to know from Li Xiao. In short, at this time, the emperor does not object to Li Xiao. proposal.
Hong Lou and Wen Guanyu looked at Yun Yuexi with some concern, and Yun Yuexi gave them a comforting look.
"Since Chen Li's matter has nothing to do with your wife, let's let it go." At this moment, the emperor seemed to think of Wu Xue's case, and turned to Eunuch Liu and said, "You go there yourself, and take him with you." Come out."
"Observe the order." Hearing what the emperor said, Eunuch Liu hurriedly withdrew respectfully.
Of course, Wen Guanyu was more worried about Wu Xue, so he followed Eunuch Liu and left quickly, leaving Honglou standing bored in front of the imperial study. The emperor asked him to come out, but he didn't say not to let him stand at the door and listen, did he?
"You can speak now." Yun Yuexi looked at Li Xiao, a gleam flashed in her eyes.
"Aren't you going to ask the emperor some questions?" Li Xiao asked without answering, "Didn't you always wonder why I had to kill you? I didn't lie to you, but the emperor asked me to kill you."
"Why did the emperor want to kill me?"
"I said, I didn't intend to kill you." The emperor raised his eyebrows, smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, and said casually while sipping the tea: "It depends on who you have to trust."
"Li Xiao is going to die. People who are about to die speak well. He doesn't seem to need to lie to me. Your majesty...why did you kill me?" There is no way to recover, so this is also where she is confused.
The time when Li Xiao was poisoned was by no means a recent incident, that is to say, Li Xiao had already been poisoned when he was sent away by Li Feng.
So who would be the person who could poison Li Xiao, or even say that he would not be noticed or make him die willingly?
Li Xiao didn't want to talk about it, but he chose to stay behind on purpose. What was the reason?
If you want to know the reason, you have to follow Li Xiao, step by step, and you will always know what he wants to do.
"Yun Yuexi, are you overestimating yourself?" The continuous questioning finally made the emperor's face sink, he put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Yun Yuexi's unusually serious expression, coughed slightly and said: " In the whole world, could it be that Wang Tu, if I want to die alone, do I still need to go through all kinds of troubles?"
"So?" A puzzled look appeared on Yun Yuexi's face, as if she really didn't understand what the emperor meant.
"Because you are very powerful. Speaking of which, if a boudoir girl like you can easily accomplish many things by relying on your father's power and connections, but you dare to break with your father." The emperor's eyes flickered a few times , the voice became a little gentle, "Leaving your father, leaving the Yun family, you will have nothing to rely on, but you still have no hesitation. Although I appreciate you, it is impossible for you to set a bad example. "
The righteous words spoken by the emperor, for a while even Li Xiao seemed to be overwhelmed by the emperor's words.
Indeed, all the people in the world set an example by the royal family or the aristocratic family. If Yun Yuexi turned her back on the family and lived a successful life, then if the women of the aristocratic family followed suit in the future, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules?
"But, your majesty...why do you appreciate my behavior of abandoning the Yun family?" Yun Yuexi looked at the emperor and said coldly, "Is it because the majesty wanted to kill me because he saw in me that year? of myself?"
"Yun Yuexi, what exactly do you want to say?" The emperor frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied with Yun Yuexi's attitude.
"Your Majesty, is it because you once abandoned your family like me that you admire me so much?" Yun Yuexi opened her crystal-like eyes, stared at the Emperor, and suddenly laughed again, "But When the emperor sees me, he will think of my useless self back then, so the emperor wants to kill me, but he just wants to cut off all ties with the past... Your majesty, ah... No, Wen Xiaohe, you say... I Is that right?"
