Li Ruiyun, the leader of the Tianxiao Gang, coerced He Yuting that he must hand over Lingyun, otherwise he would kill his grandson He Tianci, Lord Huanyu and others.

"You ......" He Yuting's eyes turned scarlet because of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Li Ruiyun, I warn you, if you dare to touch a single hair of them, I will ...... I'll fight with you! ……”

"Lord He is so fierce and vicious, how dare Li?" Li Ruiyun exclaimed exaggeratedly, with a smile in his eyes and a hint of mockery.

He raised his eyebrows at He Yuting, and said slowly: "Lord He, just rest assured, Li has always had clear grievances, and he doesn't want to harm the innocent!" But the premise is that Lord He must show some sincerity. ”

"Hmph, show sincerity? …… Is sincerity the right to hand over your own son to you? He Yuting smiled bitterly.

Li Ruiyun's eyes were full of anger, revealing piercing dangerous information, "However, if Lord He really can't let go of his son, then I won't be too reluctant." After all, tiger poison does not eat children, and it is indeed too much to let a father betray his son. Alas, it seems that we have to make another plan! ”

"Something else? ......" He Yuting's heart trembled.

Li Ruiyun said: "Yes, since Lord He is unwilling to cooperate with us, we can't hang ourselves from a tree!" But don't worry, you know, we have the means.

"No matter how powerful Ling Yun is, he is alone after all, and he is alone; And the tiger has a nap, not to mention a Lingyun! Sooner or later, it will fall into our hands—and then I will put him through a hundred times more painful torment, and then kill him......"

Listening to Li Ruiyun's shuddering words, He Yuting felt as if he had fallen into the boundless cold sea, and the blood on his body was about to freeze.

Li Ruiyun continued to say unhurriedly: "Of course, your grandson and the county lord of Huanyu, we can't return them to Lord He intact!" However, it is useless for these people to stay in our hands, but it is still a drag, and it is better to be a hundred......"

"Li Ruiyun, you dare to hurt them, I ...... I'll ......" He Yuting had blue tendons on his forehead, and stepped forward and grabbed his wrist.

"Why, Lord He also has times when he is annoyed and angry? ......" Li Ruiyun laughed, the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, "Go on, what about you?" ……”

He Yuting's face was gloomy, his throat was dry, as if he had been drained of his muscles and bones, and he hung his head.

"Originally, we wanted to cooperate with Lord He, but Lord He was obsessed and had to do something with us, and we were really forced to be helpless!"

Li Ruiyun continued: "But then again, can you have both fish and bear's paws? There are trade-offs in everything, and there are always some trade-offs when necessary.

"It's like the current thing: it is to sacrifice Ling Yun alone, so as to protect Lord He's family; Or is the jade burned, so that the whole family is only buried for Ling Yun alone? Where to go, Lord He will decide for himself! ”

When he said this, Li Ruiyun's expression still did not change, and it seemed that there were no waves.

On the contrary, He Yuting's heart was turbulent, surging with emotions that could not be calm, "If I hand him over to you, will you ...... Kill him? ”

He Yuting looked at Li Ruiyun with obscure eyes.

Li Ruiyun said: "It's still the same sentence, it depends on his performance." If he can change his mind, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I am a good man, but he can be a right-hand man by Li's side.

"On the contrary, if he is obsessed, stubborn, and insists on fighting against my heavenly owl, then it is no wonder that Li is not emotional!"

"I see...... Let me think about it again. He Yuting said indifferently.

The winter wind blew on his face with a bitter chill, like a sharp knife cutting through his skin inch by inch, and it hurt.

He Yuting turned around with difficulty, and his two trembling legs were almost a little unsteady. If it weren't for the housekeeper He Luwei hurriedly stepped forward to support his crumbling body, he would almost have collapsed on the ground......

He Yuting returned to the Hou Ye Mansion in a dazed state.

The sky outside the window was gray, and the clouds were pulled low by the moisture that was carrying it, pressing down on the top of the head as if it were about to collapse.

For a whole afternoon, He Yuting locked himself in his study and saw no one. Who can understand his pain and hesitation at this moment? After a fierce ideological struggle, he finally made up his mind.

At dinner time, He Yuting came to Princess Evergreen's Pavilion and had dinner with Princess Evergreen in a soft and warm atmosphere.

He seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, diligently carrying dishes for Princess Evergreen, and apologizing to her for his bad attitude yesterday morning.

And explained that recently, I encountered some trivial and annoying things in the court, which caused me to be in a bad mood, and asked the princess not to take it to heart if I offended, Yunyun......

Princess Evergreen gave him a blank look, "You don't need to be with me for a while, I don't believe your rhetoric!" ”

He Yuting's expression stretched inadvertently, and said with a smile on his eyebrows: "How can husband and wife have an overnight feud, just for such a trivial matter, is it possible that you really want to hate me for the rest of your life?" ”

The evergreen princess laughed with a "flutter".

He Yuting said again: "By the way, Huanyu came back from the sacrifice yesterday and happened to meet the prince of Jinling. Huanyu was quite depressed during this time; The prince hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, so she took Tianci to the Jinling Palace. She asked the housekeeper to bring back a letter, saying, "Let's not worry, she will be back in a few days." ”

Princess Evergreen sighed: "This girl has been willful since she was a child, and now she still does her own thing, she doesn't talk about the rules at all, and she doesn't take you and me as elders in her eyes." ”

He Yuting's eyes were soft, and he looked at her with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, she's not someone else; Besides, this child's life is bitter enough...... Alas, at the mention of her, I think of my poor Qi'er, and my Lin'er—

"Zhichao, now you are the only bloodline in my Hou Ye's Mansion, and I don't know what happened to you now? You're in a difficult situation right now, and my father really wants to help you! But the Father doesn't even know where you are, so how can he help you! ……”

He muttered to himself, sighing and sighing, with a stunned expression.

Princess Evergreen's heart trembled, "Donkey, you really ...... It's true...... Want to help Zhichao get out of the current predicament? ”

He Yuting said: "Princess, what do you call this?" You can suspect that everything in the world is fake; But you should believe that all parents in the world have the most genuine ...... for their children."

This sentence resonated strongly with Princess Evergreen, she nodded with a blank look, and said softly: "Actually, Zhichao came back the night before yesterday to ......."

He Yuting's heart twitched unconsciously, "Really? ……”

Princess Evergreen said, "Don't you think you're surprised, horse? ”

He Yuting came back to his senses and muttered, "No, I knew he would definitely come back!" Because this is his home after all, haha......" He smiled wryly, tears falling unconsciously.

Princess Changqing's heart was also sour, she got up and walked behind He Yuting, and gently rested her beautiful face on her husband's shoulder.

He Yuting turned around and hugged her, and the husband and wife hugged each other and cried.

After a long time, He Yuting recovered from the atmosphere of joy and sorrow. The melancholy on his face gradually faded, replaced by the longing that had just emerged, and there seemed to be more urgent anxiety between his eyebrows, "By the way, what did Zhichao say when he came back that night?" ”

Princess Evergreen said: "What else can he say, of course, it is the things that have happened in the past few days." ”

Then she told her what Ling Yun told her that day about how Lu Wenzheng was framed and imprisoned and what happened to Ling Yun in the past few days, and roughly explained it to He Yuting.

The focus is naturally on finding out the cause of the prince's death and revealing the grievances of Lu Wenzheng.

In order to highlight the main point, she recounted the relevant plots, especially Ling Yun's murder by traitors in the prison, and later thanks to the rescue of friends in the rivers and lakes, she exaggerated it in a strong and colorful way.

He Yuting nodded silently and said meaningfully: "So that's the case!" …… I knew that Zhichao was not the kind of person who acted recklessly, and if it wasn't for his helplessness, he wouldn't have escaped from the prison......"

Princess Changqing said: "You only know now, then who gritted his teeth and said that he was self-inflicted, lawless, and wanted to beat him to death at once?" ”

"At that time, I was also angry and didn't choose to speak, and the princess didn't need to keep holding on to my unintentional mistake!" He Yuting said with a smile.

Princess Evergreen raised her eyes and glanced at him coldly, but didn't say anything.

He Yuting saw the opportunity and hurriedly focused on the topic, "Okay princess, let's not go to these details now, let's talk about what to do now, right?" ”

Princess Evergreen was also in a mess at this time, and of course she didn't have the heart to worry about him or be wordy.

She frowned lightly and said, "Don Ma, tell me the truth: you have been investigating the case for so long, how did the prince die, and was Lu Wenzheng really wronged?" If he is indeed wronged, then what are the chances of winning for his grievances? ”

He Yuting's eyes flickered slightly, and there seemed to be a different world in his deep eyes, which was difficult to understand.

"The cause of the prince's death is still under investigation and evidence collection. As for whether Lu Wenzheng is the real culprit who killed the crown prince, there is still no conclusion, but in my judgment, Lu Wenzheng is wronged nine times out of ten. ”

His voice was calm, unhurried and unhurried.

"Really? ......" Princess Evergreen's eyes flickered, and she was surprised and delighted: "If Lu Wen is wronged, then our Lin'er is even more innocent!" - Donkey, quickly think of a way to solve this case, only in this way can we give back the prince who died in vain, and we can also show Lu Wenzheng's grievances and help our Lin'er get out of trouble! ”……
