Don't look at Xia Feiyao's fierce nature, she says the same, but the three brothers above her are full of cowardice, such as Xia Meng, the eldest son of the Xia family, and Xia Rong, the third son, who are kneeling on the ground now.

"Little sister, you can save the eldest brother, I am not the mastermind of those who buy and sell officials, I am not the mastermind, it is the third brother, the third brother instructed me to do it, I just help collect the money, you also know the eldest brother, my luck has been bad recently, I owe a lot of debts to the gambling house, if I don't pay it back, the owner of the gambling house will cut off my fingers! Little sister, they all say that ten fingers are connected to the heart, why can you bear to see me become crippled? ”

"Little sister, don't listen to the eldest brother, those things about usury and blackmailing high-ranking officials to take bribes are obviously thought up by the eldest brother, and they have nothing to do with me, and I didn't instruct him to buy and sell officials, little sister, don't forget, we are three brothers, just count me as the best for you, you said that you caused so much trouble when you were a child, which time I didn't stand up and beat you up, people can't forget their roots, you are developed now, you can't forget the third brother and me."

"Don't talk nonsense, little sister, you save me, I promise that in the future, I will never gamble again!"

"Little sister, save the third brother's life, I really don't want to die!"

Xia Meng and Xia Rong quarreled and quarreled, Xia Feiyao looked at the two of them and couldn't help laughing, one Wei Rui and Nan Xi was enough for her to have a headache, and now she has two more brothers.

Hua Yue's eyes motioned to Zijin and asked her to plug their mouths, it was so noisy that her ears were a little tinnitus.

"General Xia, you have heard it too, I haven't asked anything, they recruited faster than anyone else, fortunately I am not from the government, otherwise you listen to these crimes, is your Xia family going to be connected to the nine clans?"

Xia Feiyao closed her eyes slightly, Xia Chang was already dead, even if her two brothers were bastards, after all, they were also half-brothers and sisters, blood was thicker than water, how could she not save it?

"Xia Lian, bring Su Ruyi over." After a long time, Xia Feiyao had no choice but to order the attendants beside her.

Xia Lian bowed her head in response, glanced at Xia Meng and Xia Rong who were kneeling on the ground and still struggling to speak, and went to the firewood room to escort Ruyi and walked over.

Ruyi was originally afraid that Hua Yue would really use Wei Rui and Nanxi to negotiate a deal with Xia Feiyao, but now at the gate of Xia Mansion, there was no figure of the two of them, and Ruyi's strings that had been tense all night were loosened.

She knew, how could Hua Yue be so ruthless?

"General, the people have been brought."

Xia Feiyao opened her eyes, glanced at Ruyi, grabbed her with one hand, and pinched her throat.

"Xia Feiyao, what are you doing here?!" Hua Yue didn't want to see Ruyi get hurt in any way.

Xia Feiyao sneered: "Hua Yue, although you have held my two elder brothers hostage, do you think that those handles in your hands can make me easily submissive?" ”

"What more do you want?"

Xia Feiyao was really forced into a corner, she grabbed the Ruyi in her arms, glared at Hua Yue and shouted, "What about the person I want?" Where are Wei Rui and Nanxi?! ”

This woman is really crazy, she doesn't want her own brother, and she is still worried about revenge.

"Hua Yue, you don't care about me, you can't hand over Lord Rui and them no matter what!"

"Shut up!" Xia Feiyao increased her strength, and Ruyi only felt that her breath did not come up, but she was choked, and her little face was suffocated.

"Xia Feiyao, is it worth it for you to do this? Bet all you have or don't let go of Rui Wang Ye and Nanxi? You don't care about the Xia family? Don't your two biological brothers care either? ”

Xia Feiyao was completely blinded by anger, she didn't want anything anymore, she just wanted to see Wei Rui.

"I don't care! Hurry up and hand over the two of them, or I'll kill Su Ruyi right now!" ”

A mad woman can't be provoked.

The sword in Zijin's hand was already out of its sheath, but it was stopped by Hua Yue.

"Master, if this continues, Xia Feiyao will really kill Miss Ruyi."

Hua Yue didn't know, just tell her, anyway, this is what Wei Rui and Nan Xi meant.

"Xia Feiyao, you let go of Ruyi, I'll tell you."

Ruyi's eyes widened, she couldn't speak, but she kept shaking her head.

"Where's Wei Rui?" Xia Feiyao frowned, full of anticipation, she was about to go crazy looking for him.

"Uh-huh......"

"He is in the palace now, to meet the emperor, if you want to see him, you can go now."

"The Imperial Palace?" Xia Feiyao didn't believe it, he eloped with Nanxi, it stands to reason that he should go as far as possible, but why did he turn around and throw himself into the net?

"Hua Yue, you're lying to me!"

Hua Yue looked at her coldly: "Believe it or not, I've already said it anyway." ”

Xia Feiyao hesitated, this was her last chance, whether it was true or not, this was the last chance to see Wei Rui.

Xia Feiyao almost left everything, summoned the horses and ran directly to the palace.

Without restraint, Ruyi coughed several times before relieving herself, Hua Yue stepped forward to support her, but she avoided her.

"Ruyi"

Ruyi pondered for a long time before she straightened up and faced Hua Yue, her eyes were full of coldness: "Hua Yue, I have always believed in you so much, but in the end, you still handed them over to the emperor!" ”

Hua Yue knew that Ruyi would misunderstand, so he took two steps forward: "Ruyi, things are not what you think." ”

"Do you mean that they took the initiative to see the emperor themselves?"

She really said it, the truth is as simple as that.

"It was Prince Rui who told me that he wanted to see the emperor and confess everything, he didn't want to be with Nanxi anymore, and he had to live a life of hiding in Tibet."

"No, even if he confesses, Prince Rui is guilty of a big crime of bullying the king, how can the emperor let him go so easily?"

Hua Yue sighed lightly and held Ruyi's shoulder: "Ruyi, Prince Rui has always had a trump card in his hand that has not been used, as long as he takes it out, I believe the emperor will not embarrass him." ”

"Trump? What trump card? ”

"I'll take you into the palace, and you'll understand."

Ruyi was suspicious, but still followed Hua Yue into the carriage and went to the palace.

Above the main hall.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, staring at Wei Rui kneeling below with anger on his face, and suddenly, he slapped the armrest and said sharply: "Wei Rui, you dare to disobey my will and run away from marriage without permission, and it is with a man, this is really damaging the face of the royal family!" ”

Wei Rui buried his head and slowly raised it: "Your Majesty, I only want to be with the person I love, I have been willing to ask the emperor to withdraw this family business, but the emperor insisted on refusing, and Nanxi and I really have no choice, so I made this decision." ”

"Nonsense!" The emperor stood up proudly: "Wei Rui, don't think that you are my own brother, I can really connive at you, you are guilty of bullying the king and the crime of escaping marriage, do you really think that I will not dare to kill you?" ”

"The minister didn't think about it like this, so the minister came today to ask the emperor for one last thing."

Wei Rui leaned down and slammed his forehead to the ground.

"You don't want me to allow you to be with a man." The emperor stood with his hands in his hands and looked away.

"The minister begged the emperor to strip the minister's title and let the minister be an ordinary person."

The emperor looked at him in disbelief, he would rather not have the dignity of the prince than be with a man?!

"Wei Rui, it seems that you are really sick, come on, call Hua Yue over!"

Before the eunuch beside him could move, Wei Rui took out a small tiger talisman from his sleeve and held it with both hands.

When the emperor saw the tiger talisman, his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

"Brother Huang, you have treated me well in the past few years, although I was young at that time, but I also knew that if my father hadn't given me the tiger talisman before his death, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lived to be at this age."

This layer of window paper between the brothers is finally going to be pierced today.

"Wei Rui, what do you want to do? Want to rebel? ”

Wei Rui chuckled, "Imperial brother, you can't help but look up to me Wei Rui too much, my father gave me this tiger talisman, just want me to keep it for the imperial brother for a while, I know that I don't have the ability to command, so today, I want to return things to the original owner, and I also ask the imperial brother to fulfill my wish." ”

The emperor has indeed pitied the tiger talisman in Wei Rui's hand for a long time, and for this reason, he gave Wei Rui all the best, thinking that one day, Wei Rui could return the tiger talisman to him, but now that this day has really come, he hesitated, is Wei Rui sincere? Without the protection of the tiger talisman, Wei Rui is like a fish on the meat of a fish, and he is slaughtered by others.

"Brother Huang, I just want to be a common man and fly away with Nanxi, I don't even think about the rest, and I ask Brother Huang to accept it with confidence."

Wei Rui said sincerely, and the emperor's eyes motioned to the eunuch to accept the tiger talisman in Wei Rui's hand, and then he walked down the steps and helped him get up with one hand.

"Brother Rui, I am now a brother, but you are also leaving me, have you really thought about it?"

"Brother Huang, my heart has been determined, and I hope it will be fulfilled." After that, Wei Rui said goodbye again.

The emperor sighed lightly, and finally relented: "Well, since this is your last request, I will agree to you, but you don't have the status of a prince, I'm afraid you won't be able to step into the capital for half a step in the future." ”

"Brother Huang, don't worry, I have decided to retreat to the mountains and forests with Nanxi, from now on, the mountains are high and the road is far away, there is no longer such a person as Wei Rui, and I hope that Brother Huang can take care of his health."

When the emperor heard Wei Rui's promise, he was a little relieved, watching Wei Rui walk out of the hall, his face gradually became solemn, he called the eunuch, put the tiger talisman in his palm, and now the strength of the last army is finally his own.

"After the order, Prince Rui suddenly fell ill and passed away today, and Wei Rui's name was removed from the royal family tree."

"Yes"

The emperor put away the tiger talisman and walked to the apse with his hands in his hands.

Wei Rui walked out of the main hall and saw Nan Xi standing anxiously outside the hall, he smiled indifferently and walked towards him: "Nan Xi, we can finally be together." ”
