In the imperial study, Duanmu Youning pretended to be frightened and stood aside, listening to the announcement of the Ouchi guards. Hearing that Tanglin was about to strangle her, Donglin Luoxi suddenly became furious, slammed the table and shouted: "This rebel......! Youning, how are you, do you want to summon the Imperial Doctor......

"Thank you, Your Majesty, there's no need," Duanmu Youning shook his head, "I'm fine, it's just ...... Surprised......"

Tanglin Luoxi nodded, waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat, only then did he frown and asked, "Youning, what did that rebel tell you? Why did you move without saying a word?"

Duanmu Youning pretended to sigh and said, "The eldest prince, he ...... He threatened his courtiers to come to the emperor and told him that he was only willing to marry him so that he could let him go. He also said that if the emperor did not agree, the courtiers would die to show you......"

"Bastard, I am so disappointed that I still don't repent when I die!" Almost instantly, he understood the intention of Tanglin Linfeng, and Tanglin Luo Xi became more and more angry, eager to abolish him immediately, "What about later?"

Duanmu Youning sniffed extremely aggrievedly: "The eldest prince intends to kill the king and usurp the throne, the crime is unforgivable, and the courtiers refuse to agree, so he threatens the courtiers and says that if the courtiers don't agree, he will tell the emperor that the courtiers conspired with him to poison that day, so as to drag the courtiers into the ......water."

Tanglin Luoxi was stunned, and then gritted his teeth: "It's really ...... My good son!"

Duanmu Youning secretly sneered, and then said: "The eldest prince also said that in addition to telling the emperor that the courtiers were his accomplices, he also had to tell the emperor that it was the courtiers who caused him to become neither male nor female...... Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

Tanglin Luoxi's face was gloomy, and he snorted and said, "It's nothing, it's just nonsense from the rebel, you don't have to pay attention to it!"

"Yes," Duanmu Youning nodded obediently, "When the courtiers saw him like this, they naturally refused to agree, and scolded him for being ruthless on the spur of the moment, and the eldest prince saw that the plan was about to fail, so he grabbed the courtiers in a hurry, saying that he would pull a back-to-back ...... when he died."

Without finding any flaws, Tanglin Luo Xi slapped Tanglin Linfeng into the corner more and more, and pretended to be kind and comforted: "If I had known that this rebel had such a mind, I would not let you suffer these grievances if I said anything, and I would not be able to bear these grievances, I would not be able to bear you!"

"The courtiers don't dare!" Duanmu Youning bowed and saluted, "After all, the courtiers were the fiancées of the eldest prince, and the emperor has never punished the courtiers for their crimes, and the courtiers are already very grateful......"

Tanglin Luo Xi waved his hand: "I said that that matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to care, not to mention that you and that rebel son have already broken off their marriage contract, and they have nothing to do with each other." Youning, I summoned you to the palace today, in fact, for another thing: I said that when everything is over, I will choose a new wishful husband for you. I've been thinking about it for a long time these days, and I've decided to marry you to Yang'er, what do you think?"

The rush to marry Duanmu Youning into the royal gate was not for anything else, but because of her special status. First of all, the remnants of the previous dynasty assassinated Min Xinrou, and the Dragon Protector Sect spread rumors, and now there are officials and wealthy businessmen who have been stolen, this series of changes has exhausted Dongling Luoxi's heart, and he instinctively thinks that because she didn't marry Duanmu Youning as soon as possible, she naturally can't protect the Yulin Kingdom for eternity!

As mentioned earlier, his favorite candidate for the crown prince is naturally Tanglin Guyun, but his mother is the widow of the emperor of the previous dynasty after all, which always makes him feel a little embarrassed. (Pingnan Literature Network) was thinking about it, and he finally decided to retreat to the next best.

This decision naturally surprised Duanmu Youning, and she shook her head without hesitation: "The courtiers are ugly, how can they be worthy ......of the second prince?"

"What about being ugly, I value your character," Donglin Luo Xi smiled, "Besides, isn't the scar on your face much lighter? ”

Naturally, he didn't care, and he didn't want to be good at all, because marrying me is equivalent to stepping on the throne with one foot!

Duanmu Youning secretly sneered, still shaking his head and refusing: "The courtier still thinks it's ......"

"Youning, that's what I mean. Donglin Luo Xi was still smiling, but there was already a hint of coldness in his smile, "I mean the holy decree, if you resist the decree, you will not respect ......."

As soon as these four words came out, Duanmu Youning immediately fell silent, speechless for a long time. Although she was satisfied with her obedience, Tanglin Luoxi didn't want to force her too hard, lest she choose to burn the jade in a fit of anger, so she pretended to be tolerant and generous and said, "I know, you will inevitably be a little surprised to tell you this news suddenly. Well, I'll give you a few days to think about it, and then I'll give you an answer when you're done, how about that?"

Duanmu Youning pursed his lips: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" But in the time that the courtiers are considering, can they not let the second prince know about this matter first? Otherwise, the courtiers are afraid that it will be difficult to think about it calmly. ”

Tanglin Luoxi nodded: "Don't worry, so far, only you and I know about this matter." ”

Duanmu Youning nodded and retreated. Dongling Luo Xi couldn't help frowning slightly: How could he refuse so happily? Could it be that Duanmu Youning and Yun'er were really like what Yang'er said......

At this moment, the chamberlain stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Ouyang asks to see you." ”

Ouyang Xiao? What is he doing here? Tanglin Luo Xi came back to his senses: "Biography." ”

After a short time, Ouyang Xiao stepped in and knelt down to salute: "Minister Ouyang Xiao, participate in the emperor!"

"No courtesy. Tanglin Luoxi nodded, "The prime minister is here for the theft of the mansion?" I have handed over this matter to Yang'er and Yun'er to investigate, and there is no ......result at the moment."

"Yes, the minister knows," Ouyang Xiao got up, his eyes flickering slightly, "The minister entered the palace this time, not for this matter. ”

Tanglin Luoxi was a little strange: "Oh? that's ......."

Ouyang Xiao hesitated, obviously the next words were really unspeakable: "Your Majesty, that day...... His Royal Highness King Zhan came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to investigate the theft, and the little girl Yuting happened to be present and met with His Royal Highness, and since then she has been ...... Can't forget ......."

Tanglin Luo Xi was immediately stunned, but he didn't pick up his words: "Oh?"

Ouyang Xiao was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, so he had to continue: "Originally, the little girl knew that her talent was not high, and she was not worthy of His Royal Highness King Zhan, but she was depressed all day long these days, and she looked emaciated. The minister was distressed as a father, so he took the liberty to enter the palace to see if he could get a grace for the little girl, so that the little girl could have the opportunity to serve tea and pour water and make a bed and fold quilts for His Royal Highness King Zhan?

Having said that, how can the daughter of a dignified prime minister be a slave or a servant? Ouyang Xiao's words clearly show that he is just retreating and advancing.

Tanglin Luoxi obviously has his own considerations. Donglin Guyun is the son of the widow of the first emperor, and it is indeed not suitable for inheriting the unification, so naturally it cannot take Duanmu Youning. Ouyang Yuting is the prime minister's daughter, and her appearance is much better than Duanmu Youning, if she is matched to Donglin Guyun, she can also become a pair of talented and beautiful women. What's more, if this marriage is completed, Ouyang Xiao will naturally be even more desperate for the royal family, and from a political point of view, it will also be beneficial and harmless.

However, with the experience of Tanglin Drifting Snow, Tanglin Luoxi knew that what he thought was suitable did not mean that Tanglin Guyun would definitely agree. Although he can use the holy decree to force him to comply, this son has always been willing to bend rather than bend, if he is forced to do so, who knows what kind of moth he will make?

His silence made Ouyang Xiao's eyes deepen, and he deliberately bowed down and said, "The emperor thinks it's inappropriate? Also, the little girl is not worthy of His Royal Highness King Zhan......

"No, the prime minister misunderstood. Tanglin Luo Xi smiled without distinguishing between truth and falsehood, "Ling Qianjin is both talented and beautiful, where is she not worthy of Yun'er?" It's just that the prime minister must also know that Yun'er, this kid has always been very assertive, if he has no heart for Ling Qianjin, I'm afraid that I, the father, will be reluctant to ......."

Ouyang was silent, because he knew that this was the truth. He had also heard about Tanglin Guyun's refusal to marry Tanglin Piaoxue before, and knew that the father and son almost had a stalemate because of this matter. Later, in order to prove that he did not covet the crown princess, Donglin Guyun agreed to go through the motions, and after the prince's wedding, he gave Tanglin Piaoxue a letter of resignation.

It was only later that the drastic change made everything unacceptable, and the marriage was over. In other words, if Tanglin Guyun has no intention of Ouyang Yuting, then everything is in vain.

Seeing that he understood what he meant, Tanglin Luoxi smiled and said: "In this way, I have ordered Yun'er to enter the palace to see him, and when he comes, I will ask him what he means, if he has no opinion, this marriage will be completed, how about it?"

In exchange for Ouyang Xiao's loyalty to the royal family, this transaction Tanglin Luoxi made money. deliberately didn't agree happily to let Ouyang Xiao know that although he had a handle in Ouyang Xiao's hands, it didn't mean that Ouyang Xiao had to agree to anything!

At this point, Ouyang Xiao naturally didn't want to say anything, so he had to nod his head and answer: "Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty! The minister will go back and wait for the news!"

This side is just about to give marriage to Tanglin Chenyang and Duanmu Youning, and Ouyang Xiao over there will come to propose marriage for Ouyang Yuting. After going through so many calamities recently, the Yulin Kingdom really needs some happy events to wash away the bad luck!

It's just that...... How can I get Donglin Guyun to agree? I'm afraid it's not that easy......

While thinking about it, another attendant came to report that His Royal Highness King Zhan had arrived. Hearing the rumor, Tanglin Guyun stepped in, and his every move was indescribably chic and handsome: "The son sees his father!"

"Excuse me," Tanglin Luo Xi nodded, "Yun'er, I summoned you to the palace to ask, how is the investigation of the theft? ”

Tanglin Guyun said unhurriedly: "Father, the son is about to report this matter to you. After the investigation of Erchen and the second emperor brother, it was found that these thieves should be the 'Shadowless Gang' from the great desert at the junction of the Yulin Kingdom and the Tianlong Kingdom. ”

"Shadowless Gang?" Donglin Luo Xi frowned slightly, and then suddenly realized, "Ah! I remembered! There is indeed such a gang! It is said that they have always only sought wealth, not robbing sex or killing people, and they have singled out people in the royal family, civil and military officials, and wealthy businessmen, and never harmed ordinary people! Yun'er, are you talking about them?"
