"There is no compatibility between me and Li Ruiyun, I would rather die ten times than say a word in front of him!"

In order to help his son escape a catastrophe, He Yuting earnestly persuaded him to change his mind and surrender to Tianxiao; Unexpectedly, Ling Yun was resolute and decisive, and would rather die than surrender.

He Yuting was speechless for a long time, and only after a long time did he say: "But Zhichao, why are you doing this?" Seriously, these days, there have been too many killings and bloodshed witnessed for my father, Feng Chaoying, the queen, the prince of Jinling...... Dear relatives and friends, one by one, are fleeting in front of me-

"Zhichao, can you understand my father's painful feelings at that time? I really don't want you to be the next person to suffer! You know, now my He family can't afford to lose anymore: Cheng Qi is dead, Huanyu is gone, if something happens to you again, what will you do if you let me and your mother do? ”

Ling Yun only felt that his throat was as uncomfortable and stinging as if something was blocked, and he paused for a long time before he spoke, his voice filled with endless bitterness, "I'm sorry, Daddy, the child has not been able to fulfill much filial piety as a son of man before; And in the future, I can't do my filial piety in front of you and my mother, and the child is not good. Farewell, my father is above, please accept Lin'er's worship! ”

As he spoke, he leaned down and bowed deeply.

He Yuting's heart ached, he pushed Ling Yun away violently and said, "I don't want you to worship, let alone die!" Zhichao, is it okay to listen to your father? Although Li Ruiyun has done a lot of evil, although you have had many grudges with him before, they are all because of different positions and each is its own master!

"Actually, I also admire Li Ruiyun, at least he can be magnanimous, regardless of previous suspicions, and only act; Li Ruiyun also promised me: As long as you can serve him, you will be able to ensure that you are a high-ranking official, prosperous and wealthy - when the time comes, our father and son will be proud and complement each other in the court; Isn't it a pleasure to be able to live in harmony with the old and the young in the house and share the family? ”

"Say no more! ......" Ling Yun lowered his eyes gloomily, his long eyelashes covered the obscure emotions under his eyes, and said dumbly: "Who doesn't want to live in harmony with the old and the young and share the family; But in this situation, do you think it's possible? The country has been broken, so what can we talk about? ”

He Yuting said: "Zhichao, why are you so stubborn? Could it be that the heartfelt words of the father really can't touch your heart at all? Is your heart really like a stone? Why can't you, child, understand the painstaking heart of your father? ”

Ling Yun said coldly: "Yes, I can't understand my father's hard work; But Daddy, can you understand the hatred between me and Li Ruiyun? ”

"You! ......" He Yuting was angry, speechless for a while, and then said: "Do you really not care about your parents' feelings at all, and really just want to die?" ”

Ling Yun was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Who would be so stupid as to just want to die, who doesn't want to live well!" Ants are still greedy for life, let alone people? But if I am allowed to live in humiliation in front of Li Ruiyun without dignity and groveling, and can only obey his mercy, or even abuse, I would rather die! ”

The saddest thing is not hoarseness, but the breathlessness of deep pain; He Yuting was annoyed, but he felt very desperate.

He trembled and pointed at Ling Yun and said, "The hair and skin of the body are all given by my parents; You are my son, you have the blood of me He Yuting in your body, what qualifications do you have to decide your life and death? Even if you want to die, you have to ask your parents if they agree. ”

Ling Yun's peaceful expression finally cracked, like a flower suddenly withering in the years. He raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "I'm your son?" Ask yourself what you have done these days: colluding with the heavenly tyrants to subvert the imperial court; aiding and abetting abuse, mutilating the loyal and good...... It's just a vain to be a minister, and even more so a son of man! Are you still worthy to be my father? And who are you to decide my fate? ”

"You...... You rebel! ……”

He Yuting tried his best to persuade for a long time, but when he saw that his son was still obsessed and insisted on going his own way, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved and depressed; At this time, when he heard his son say such disobedient words, the suppressed anger churned unscrupulously in his chest like a flame, and suddenly rushed to the Tianling Gai.

His eyes were blood-red, he gritted his teeth, trembled and raised his hand to fall viciously at his son's pale and handsome face.

Ling Yun didn't move or hide, and he withstood his father's slap firmly.

He closed his eyes slightly, only to feel a roar in his ears, and a moment of trance appeared in front of him.

Under the rage of his father's angry slap, his prostrate form staggered forward uncontrollably, and he almost fell.

The sheer force made half of his cheeks almost numb with pain, and a trace of blood slowly oozed from the corners of his pale mouth.

Looking at Ling Yun's miserable and fragile appearance, He Yuting felt as if his heart was tightly grasped by a big hand, and it contracted into a ball in an instant.

He bit his bloodless lip with his teeth tightly, rushed forward and hugged his son's body, whimpering: "I'm sorry Zhichao, I was wrong, I shouldn't have hit you, I was wrong......"

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Ling Yun raised his hand and slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "No, Daddy, it's the child's mistake, the child shouldn't say such disobedient words." ”

He Yuting sighed and said, "Zhichao, why don't you just refuse to listen to your father?" ”

Ling Yun didn't answer directly, but said: "I'm sorry daddy, Lin'er is not good, daddy has the right to treat me as if he has never had a son......

He Yuting was stranded for a while; It turned out that the dazed and the wisps of gray in the air were so similar. He just choked and didn't speak.

Ling Yun said again: "Lin'er also asked Daddy to promise Lin'er one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

Ling Yun's eyes were filled with a layer of sadness, but he only calmed down in an instant, and his voice was cold, lonely, and a little hoarse, "Please don't tell my mother about this matter first, and then find a chance to tell her later, okay?" ”

He Yuting first nodded, then shook his head again; He couldn't cry at this time, and just stood there stunned, like a doll whose heart had been hollowed out.

He didn't say a word, covered his face with his hands, and staggered away......

The gloomy sky is still raining in the autumn rain, neither in a hurry nor slowly, not sparse or dense, dripping and scattered, like a filament, like a sorrow from people, endless.

After Li Ruiyun learned the news that Ling Yunning would not surrender, he couldn't help but sigh lightly and said: "Lord He, Li is really admired, I admire that you can raise such a heroic son who would rather bend than bend!" Alas, such a man of great character and excellent handsomeness cannot be of use to me—a pity! What a pity! ”

He Yuting's face was like ashes, his lips moved, but he finally couldn't say anything. At this time, he had lost all his feelings and moods, and walked out like a walking corpse, and the housekeeper He Luwei hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Ding Jinzhi on the side was sorry when he saw this, and wanted to chase him out to appease his brother-in-law's dazed mood, but when he turned around and cautiously looked at Li Ruiyun's uncertain face, he couldn't help but hesitate again.

Ding Xin and Ding Yi beside him looked at each other and felt terrified.

Li Ruiyun's eyes darkened instantly. He groaned for a while, and ordered Li Zhishan in a cold voice, "Commander Li, you will take someone to the cell early tomorrow morning and send Ling Yun on the road." Master Ding, you are responsible for supervising the follow-up. ”

Li Zhishan and Ding Jinzhi promised in unison.

Li Zhishan hesitated and glanced at Ding Jinzhi, his face seemed to be embarrassed, and he said slowly: "It's just that Lord He is there......"

Li Ruiyun's dark eyes revealed a bone-chilling chill, as if he wanted to freeze everything around him in an instant, "It's Ling Yun who is looking for death himself, and he can't complain about others." On the side of Lord He, we have done our best; In order to take care of Lord He's feelings for the end, let's give Ling Yun a whole corpse. ”

Li Zhishan said: "Li Gongzi is kind-hearted, and his subordinates are broken. After saying that, he bowed to Li Ruiyun and turned away.

When He Yuting returned to the Hou Ye's Mansion, it was already late. He was drowsy and groggy in his steps, and as soon as he slammed himself into the study, he collapsed weakly in his chair.

The cold dew and cold wind howled in the middle of the night, and his hands and feet were cold and numb. He felt unusually tired, and his eyes stared at the roof as if he could see through it.

At this time, he felt how small and helpless he was, letting the crowd push around, but he couldn't do anything.

The dull sound of rain falling outside the window, accompanied by the deep and lonely long night, repeatedly tormented his dazed mind.

He was curled up alone in his chair, unable to sleep; Thinking about all the disturbing things in his head, it felt like an endless net that enveloped him tightly......

The sky gradually brightened, and the window lattices began to glow a faint white. His eyes were numb, as if he had been stuffed with a piece of blazing coal, and gradually the difficulty was approaching, barely for a moment......

I don't know how long it was, I don't know when, but suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then the door of his study clanged like thunder.

Which minion was so unreasonable that he came to disturb him at this time? I don't have any eyesight.

He was about to get angry, but then when he heard the words of the evergreen princess with a little cry, he immediately wilted.

He rubbed his sore eyes, stood up with difficulty, and shook his body to open the door.

I saw Princess Evergreen standing at the door angrily, followed by the maid Yancui and several other maids; Everyone's face was filled with a look of sadness and helplessness.

Biyun, the big girl who has never been far from Princess Evergreen's side, is not there. Because the county lord of Huanyu fled when she heard the news a few days ago, in order to take care of the county lord, she left the Hou Ye Mansion with the county lord.

At this time, looking at Princess Changqing's tense face and resentful eyes, He Yuting barely squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Princess, you ...... You're so angry, what's wrong? ”
