Chapter 446: Confrontation
Looking at each other from a distance through the carriage curtain, Xia Zhixue saw Ouyang Huaiyu's side face, she immediately let go, and the curtain was closed again.
"What's wrong?" Luo Licheng sat on the side and asked knowingly, with a smile on his face.
"I saw people who shouldn't be looking." Xia Zhixue lowered his eyes, and there was cunning in his eyes where he couldn't reach.
Den.
The emperor sat on the high seat alone, Ouyang Huaiyu sat on his side, and Luo Licheng sat on his other side.
Xia Zhixue was undecided, so she could only stand behind and listen.
"I'm here today with the three of you on business." The emperor's eyes flickered coldly, "One day I heard that the war on the frontier was deliberately provoked by someone, and the person who provoked the war was among the two of you. ”
A relentless gaze swept downward.
There was a smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, if there was nothing, it was cold.
Ouyang Huaiyu also smiled, he seemed to be used to this kind of scene, and there was no panic on his face.
Luo Licheng was not as indifferent as him, his lips pursed, and his eyes were a little uncertain.
He's weak in heart.
The plan has come to this point, and if it is discovered now, it will be a failure, not to mention that the emperor is not like the kind of person who will be soft-hearted.
His face gradually became gloomy.
The deep black pupils swept over everyone present, and finally stopped at Xia Zhixue.
Those under his command can rest assured, and the only uncertain factor is Xia Zhixue.
Xia Zhixue's arms are very suspicious, although she has witnessed the break between the two before, but seeing is not necessarily believing.
Luo Licheng's eyes were surging, as if a storm was brewing.
Ouyang Huaiyu noticed the change in his expression, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper.
"Brother Huang should already have the answer in his heart, as the nineteenth prince, I am also the brother of Brother Huang. What is there to grab in the world of a family? But General Luo is different, no matter how close he is to us, he is still a foreign surname after all. ”
In a word, he threw the pot directly on Luo Licheng.
With blood ties as a guarantee, the emperor certainly had no reason not to believe his words.
Luo Licheng bit the root of his tongue and was anxious, Ouyang Huaiyu's current directivity was so obvious, he almost didn't confess him directly, he would be too aggrieved if he didn't say something now, but it was easy to show his feet if he said a few words.
It's a dilemma.
Ouyang Huaiyu always had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to notice Luo Licheng's embarrassment.
"General Luo, shouldn't you also take a stand, if you don't talk about the imperial brother again, I'm afraid that you will think that you are a thief. Besides, I've been passing by your General's Mansion these days, and it's really lively with people coming and going. ”
He said another sentence slowly.
It is obvious that he is challenging Luo Licheng's patience.
Luo Licheng sneered in his heart, he has no way back now, the only thing he can do is to be alone and ensure that he can make a comeback after he goes back.
"If the emperor is willing to listen to me, then the minister will not be stingy in justifying." Luo Licheng walked up to the emperor and knelt down directly.
Most of them were arrogant and arrogant, and the emperor was a little surprised, probably the first time he saw a kneeling so neat.
"But it doesn't matter, if he slanders you with all his heart, then I will definitely do justice for you." The emperor is not angry. extraordinary
Luo Licheng pursed his lips: "The minister has been recuperating at home for the past few days, and there are many people coming and going in the house, but those people are all old acquaintances of the minister. Miss Xia can also testify to this for me. ”
Xia Zhixue nodded slightly in the back.
The emperor did not question him more, but gave him a gesture to continue.
"The minister doesn't know who this person who slandered me and the nineteenth prince is, but my loyalty to the emperor can be seen by the sun and the moon, how can I have the intention of rebellion for no reason?"
"The nineteenth prince is the emperor's younger brother, and the minister is also the country's concubine, no matter how we say it, we are all a family. Tigers are poisonous and don't eat children, not to mention that we have feelings? ”
Luo Licheng's reasons are extremely far-fetched, and he is desperately talking nonsense here, hoping that the emperor can let him go.
As long as he is allowed to go back, a comeback is inevitable, and no one can stop him at that time.
His country was already in his pocket.
Before Luo Licheng could continue to speak, Ouyang Huaiyu took the lead and said: "If you don't mention this matter, I almost forgot, you should know best how my niece died, is it really as simple as I said before?" ”
The smile on the corner of his mouth was thinly cool.
Ouyang Huaiyu was shedding his hypocritical cloak little by little.
Since Luo Licheng can pretend, he will accompany him to continue pretending. Isn't it just a few nonsense words, he can do it, he can naturally do it.
Luo Licheng was already a little flustered by these words.
He has always had a good psychological quality, but he loses because he is suspicious by nature.
No matter what Ouyang Huaiyu said this sentence for, Luo Licheng felt a chill behind him, as if all the things he had done were known.
"Nineteenth Prince, why are you targeting me like this? We don't know who the person who came to report it is now, and whether it is true or not. If someone from an enemy country wants to cause us to kill each other, then won't we lose a general here for nothing? ”
Luo Licheng was cornered and could only start to play roundabout tactics, directly counting the initiator of this incident as a person from the enemy country.
The emperor looked at the two of them arguing with a headache, and reached out to pinch his eyebrows.
"That's enough, I know you both have a headache trying to get that guy. But there is nothing wrong with what General Luo said, I also heard this news from others, and it is not clear whether it is true or false, and we should not doubt each other until the matter is confirmed. ”
One sentence made the two who were arguing one after another.
Ouyang Huaiyu took a step back and didn't say anything, and Luo Licheng also followed his example.
"That's it, it's not too early, you two should go back first, and it's not too late to notify you when you have confirmed the news." As soon as the emperor gave an order, he directly began to drive people away.
The corners of Luo Licheng's mouth hooked up a triumphant smile.
But what he never expected was that this expression was already in the eyes of others.
"Xia Zhixue and Nineteen first left me behind, and there are still some things to tell you." Just as they were about to leave, the Emperor stopped the two men in a fit of rage.
Luo Licheng was about to walk out for a moment, turning his head with some suspicion in his eyes.
Xia Zhixue happened to look at him as well, there was no expected relief in her eyes, nor did she have the expected affection, but only infinite coldness.
He understands everything now.
A sneer flashed in Luo Licheng's eyes, but the girl he thought he trusted the most was the first to betray him.
He walked out of the palace step by step, and his heart gradually became cold.
He could feel the aura of a few more people around him, but he couldn't see anyone when he looked around.
