"Since the third child intercedes for you, this matter will be put on hold for the time being, and everything will be talked about after tomorrow's spring." The emperor looked at Ouyang Yunsu for a while, then looked at Ouyang Yuyun, and said with a slight glint in his eyes: "But...... Gonggong Liu sent someone to continue to investigate this matter, and all the evidence found was sent to me. ”

"Yes! Emperor! Gonggong Liu hurriedly responded, and then stood aside silently with his head down, as if this person did not exist at all.

"You guys go down first, old five, you should prepare for the spring festival, don't go wrong again!" The emperor gave another word of advice, waving his hand and signaling them to go down.

"Father, the son has something else to tell you." At the same time that Ouyang Yuyun got up, Ouyang Yunsu did not get up immediately, but still knelt in place.

"Huh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, waved his hand at Ouyang Yuyun, and motioned for him to leave first.

Ouyang Yuyun glanced at Ouyang Yunsu and retreated honestly, even if he wanted to ask Ouyang Yunsu something now, he had to wait until he went out of the imperial study.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" The emperor's mood is really not much better, and he hasn't found any progress, which is really infuriating.

"Back to the emperor, last night Erchen suddenly received a secret letter, which said that the old Pingyang Marquis Shen Hou was actually not dead at all." Ouyang Yunsu said as he took out a secret letter from his sleeve that he had forged overnight last night and handed it to Gonggong Liu.

Gonggong Liu walked quickly to Ouyang Yuyun's side, took the letter and turned around and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor opened the secret letter and saw a line of words written on it: "Shen Hou is not dead, return with revenge." ”

"Revenge ......" The emperor frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Wasn't Shen Hou's death an accident?" What revenge does he want? ”

"The son didn't know, so he specially told his father." Ouyang Yunsu raised his eyes slightly, and found that the emperor was not too shocked, and his heart was secretly strange.

Shouldn't a person be a little surprised to know that someone who is already dead has come back to life and is coming back to take revenge?

Why did the emperor's expression not seem to have any sense of surprise in it, except for being a little dignified?

Moreover, Ouyang Yunsu saw clearly that Gonggong Liu naturally showed a surprised expression when he finished saying that Shen Hou was not dead, and then immediately retracted, but this was the ability he had practiced in the palace for many years.

But again, it says one thing.

Even a person like Gonggong Liu, who is never happy and angry, is inevitably a little surprised, why is the emperor not surprised?

Could it be that he already knew that Shen Hou was not dead?

It was obvious from the few words he asked that he was not surprised that Shen Hou had come back, but rather that he was taking revenge......

"I know about this matter, you don't have to take it to heart, I will deal with it." Before Ouyang Yunsu could figure it out, the emperor had already spoken again.

"Yes, father, the son and the emperor are retiring." Ouyang Yunsu retreated with doubts, thinking that he might be able to guess something after going back to discuss with Ouyang Haoxuan, and walked out of the palace in a hurry, but he didn't expect to see Ouyang Yuyun standing on the palace road from a distance, obviously waiting for him.

"Fifth brother, tomorrow is the Spring Festival, why are you still standing here?" Once he ran into the person he was guarding again, Ouyang Yunsu instantly became the gentle and harmless prince of the past.

"Third brother, I have to thank the third brother for today's incident." Ouyang Yuyun said to Ouyang Yunsu very politely: "I don't know if the third brother has time, let's have a drink?" ”

"Fifth brother, you also know that we are not the same, today I am not saving you, I just don't want the students of the world to be affected, after all, there is no difference between the temporary replacement of the examiner and the temporary change of generals, so I drink...... Just be free. Ouyang Yunsu's completely ruthless words made Ouyang Yuyun's face a little embarrassed for a moment, but he quickly returned to his usual look.

"The third brother really likes to laugh." Ouyang Yuyun smiled and said: "It's okay for the third brother to fool the children, but for me, it's too far-fetched, so I want to hear the third brother's true thoughts." ”

"What do you really think?" 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, and the two armies exchanged tactics with each other in advance? ”

"Third brother means to declare war on me?" A hint of murderous aura flashed in Ouyang Yuyun's eyes, but he still asked with a smile on his face.

Ouyang Yunsu sighed slightly in his heart, you see, this is the reason why he is unwilling to be the emperor.

Obviously they should be brothers who are close to each other, but in the end, they don't want to kill each other?

It's just that the family is like this, let alone the royal family?

"I'm just making an analogy." Ouyang Yunsu patted Ouyang Yuyun's shoulder, and said as if he had some feelings: "Between you and my brothers, it is rare to be able to speak so calmly, Old Five, you and I should cherish 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, and turned around and left.

Ouyang Yuyun didn't speak again, because he knew that from today on, they would never be able to go back to that young time.

And the battle for succession has always been a life-and-death war.

If you lose, it's a dead end.

Just when Ouyang Yunsu and Ouyang Yuyun were standing on the palace road and talking, Li Ruoxian returned to the elegant seat where Yun Yuexi and Chu Chu were in a panic, and as soon as she entered the door, she walked quickly to Yun Yuexi and said hurriedly: "Do you have a way?" Help me! ”

"You believe it now?" Yun Yuexi raised her eyes and looked at Li Ruoxian and said, "Do you think that if Ouyang Yuyun takes you to blame, who will protect you between the Li family and the Yun family?" ”

Li Ruoxian's lips twitched a few times, but after all, she still didn't say anything, sat on the chair, and shook her head with a pale face.

Yes, as Yun Yuexi said, no one cares about her life or death.

Even if the Li family knew that she was Li Ruoxian, if Ouyang Yuyun really pushed the blame on herself, the Li family would not save herself.

Because they could take this opportunity to make Ouyang Yuyun feel that he owed the Li family a favor, after all, it was a human life in exchange for his turning point.

As for the Yun family...... No one cares about their own life or death.

Even Yun Yudie's mother, the Wang family, is now only concerned about protecting her only son, where do you remember that she has a daughter in Yunfu?

"You can rest assured, even if Ouyang Yuyun has already told the emperor that the shop is Yun Yudie's, the emperor will not ask for the time being." Yun Yuexi slowly opened her mouth and said in a low voice: "Because tomorrow's spring festival is the main event, so, let me ask you, do you want to live?" ”

"Yes! Absolutely! Li Ruoxian immediately came back to her senses, nodded desperately, and pleaded: "Yun Yuexi, I know that I did a lot of things to deal with you before, but now that I have suffered retribution, you have also turned me into this, so please forgive me, okay?" Have mercy on me......"

"Okay, I can save you, and I can tell you what to do." Yun Yuexi looked at the light of hope that instantly rose in Li Ruoxian's eyes, waved her hand and said, "Don't get excited, I'll tell you what to do, as for whether you are willing to do this, it's up to you." ”

"Good! You said! Li Ruoxian frowned, thought for a while, gritted her teeth and said, "As long as I can save my life, I can do anything." ”

"Disfigured." Yun Yuexi pointed to Li Ruoxian's face and said, "I can ruin your face, and then you go to beat the drum on the right side of Jingzhao Mansion according to the time I said, and sue Ouyang Yuyun for secretly sending someone to hunt you down and kill you in order to force you to confess for him, and even ruin your face." ”

"Right ......" Li Ruoxian blinked, and suddenly exclaimed, "Are you asking me to beat the drum through the sky?" ”

Tongtian Drum, as the name suggests, goes straight to the top.

Since ancient times, there are two drums on the left and right sides of Zhu Qiguo's yamen, the drum on the left is what happened to ordinary people and needs to be solved by the yamen, and the drum on the right is a bloody case or a great grievance.

The reason why Ouyang Yunsu killed the Yue family's gentleman back then was precisely because that master beat the drum of Tongtian.

Once the drum beats, then the people of the whole city will come to testify, and the trial of this case will also require three sessions, and even a prince will need to be in charge.

If the prince can't make up his mind in the end, then the case will be handed over to the emperor and the emperor will decide.

Of course, the drum cannot be beaten casually, and once it is found that it is a false accusation or a very small grudge, then the person who beats the drum will be punished extremely severely.

Of course, Li Ruoxian also knew this, so she was a little hesitant.

Because if she beats the drum of Tongtian, in case she can't bring down Ouyang Yuyun, then what awaits her is probably an unimaginable death.

"Li Ruoxian, in fact, what do you have to worry about?" At this time, God assisted Chu Chu to speak, "You are now Yun Yudie, and it is not that you can't change back if you are disfigured, and when the time comes, after suing Ouyang Yuyun, let Xi'er directly turn you into Li Ruoxian?" ”

"But...... Li Ruoxian was already dead! Li Ruoxian said with some hesitation: "And my aunt and they all know my identity, and they will definitely not spare me when the time comes!" ”

"Then just become something else!" Chu Chu said with an indifferent face: "You have rotten bones and muscles in your body now, as long as Xi'er is willing, she can become whoever she wants to become, what are you still worried about this?" ”

"But......" Li Ruoxian was still a little hesitant, although she knew that Yun Yuexi never did something that she was not sure of, but if she married Ouyang Yuyun, it would be endless glory and wealth, if she became someone else, how would she survive in the future?

"Li Ruoxian, you decide this matter yourself." Yun Yuexi patted Chu Chu, who still wanted to say something, and said with a slight smile: "To be honest, you really don't have a choice but to listen to me now, because Ouyang Yuyun will send someone to kill you tonight, and you will leave a suicide note, bluntly saying that everything is done by you, if you don't believe it, you can go back and give it a try, but ...... Do you know that Yun Manrou is helping the prince deliver medicine? ”
