"Li Ruiyun, you are so vicious, you are using me as bait to trick Ling Yun and my imperial uncle into throwing themselves into the net and coming here to die! …… Li Ruiyun, even if you really kill me this time, I won't agree! Facing Li Ruiyun's threat, Emperor Zhao Yu shook his head resolutely.

"Since the emperor refuses to agree, then don't blame Li for being unkind!" Li Ruiyun glanced at the person opposite, and couldn't find a trace of light in his pupils, not like the eyes that a living person should have......

Zhao Yu shuddered unconsciously.

"Bring it here." Li Ruiyun's gloomy eyes turned slightly, and he froze on Zhou Huaiyi, who was shackled by those murderous and brutal guards.

Zhou Huaiyi was dragged and dragged to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, take a good look at the person in front of you. In order to rescue you, he did not hesitate to risk his own life, rushing here day and night from the border thousands of miles away, delivering Ding Jinzhi's letter, in a vain attempt to confuse the public and paralyze our minds, and then look for an opportunity to help you out of danger - he fell into such a miserable situation, but it was all thanks to the emperor! ”

Now his life and death are only in the emperor's thoughts. If the emperor can agree to Li's request, Li can spare his life; On the contrary, if the emperor doesn't agree, hum-" Li Ruiyun sneered, and the evil aura in his eyes was turbulent.

Coercion, naked coercion. The emperor only felt that the blood all over his body was surging towards the top of his head, and the green tendons in his sideburns were jumping fiercely. He lowered his head with difficulty and glanced at the embarrassed subordinate in front of him.

His hair was disheveled, almost obscuring half of his face; The whole body was covered with mottled whip marks, mixed with sweat and bloodstains, and glued together with the torn clothes, scarred and blurred with flesh and blood, which made people look shocking.

Listening to Li Ruiyun's words, a flame of hope rose in Zhou Huaiyi's originally dark heart; However, when he saw the emperor's hesitation again, his heart of hope sank again.

He desperately writhed his broken body that was held down by his minions, roared hoarsely, and pleaded, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, everything the minions do is for the Emperor!" The minion doesn't want to die, he really doesn't want to die! Slave please, please save the minion......"

"Your Majesty, have you thought about it?" Li Ruiyun took a good time to copy his hand, looking at the difficult confrontation between the monarch and the servant in front of him, as if he was enjoying a wonderful show, and then opened his mouth leisurely:

"Who doesn't know that your dignified monarch of the Song Dynasty, the former emperor Zhao Yu, has always shown the world with generosity and benevolence, sympathy for his subordinates, and love the people like sons - now your subordinates' lives are on the verge of death, waiting for you to decide the words of life and death, Li believes that the emperor will definitely come to the rescue at a critical moment and help him get out of trouble, right?"

The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, revealing a bitter smile, "Li Ruiyun, you are putting me on the stove to roast!" Obviously you are the culprit of all the evils, but you go around and pass on those heinous crimes to me, and you still make a compassionate gesture, is there any more shameless person in this world than you? ”

"Hehe, thanks to the emperor's praise, Li is flattered!" Li Ruiyun laughed wickedly, and his treacherous eyes immediately turned cold, "Don't talk nonsense, let me ask you again, do you agree to the thing I proposed just now?" ”

The emperor's Adam's apple rolled twice, "Since you can't have both fish and bear's paws, I can only endure the pain and make a choice." ”

"Endure the pain and cut love, make a choice-" muttering the last few words, Li Ruiyun's eyes narrowed slightly, "Please make it clear to the emperor." ”

The emperor took a deep breath, "If I promise you, it will be for Lingyun and my imperial uncle to come here to die......"

The corners of Li Ruiyun's mouth twitched, "So, the emperor's choice is to want this dog slave to die?" ”

The emperor lowered his eyes and did not speak.

A faint smile flashed across Li Ruiyun's colorless lips, "Zhou Huaiyi, you heard clearly, it's not that someone Li wants to kill you, but that your emperor has abandoned you, so it's no wonder to me!" ”

"Your Majesty, why? ......" Zhou Huaiyi looked sadly at the monarch in front of him who had made a final decision and sentenced himself to death, and his heart was so uncomfortable that he felt as if he had swallowed a glass shard, and he forcibly endured the blood in his throat and did not spit it out.

"Why, Zhou Huaiyi, when it comes to it, it's useless to blame yourself! When your role surpasses that of Ling Yun or King Guangling, then the person the emperor chooses to keep is you! ”

Li Ruiyun said slowly, and the words behind him suddenly became ruthless, "Come on, take him down, and correct the Fa on the spot!" ”

"Your Majesty, don't, don't! ......" Listening to his death verdict, Zhou Huaiyi couldn't help but cry bitterly, like a wounded old wolf howling in the wilderness, mixed with endless sadness and despair.

The guards on both sides stepped forward as he was told, brutally held him hostage and dragged him out.

Zhou Huaiyi wailed hysterically, struggling desperately, and using all his strength to make the last moment of his life, although such a struggle could only be in vain......

Suddenly, the two execution guards walked up with a tray and replied to Li Ruiyun: "Qi Gongzi Li, Zhou Huaiyi has been sentenced to the canon, please check!" ”

Li Ruiyun responded casually, and asked the guards to bring the tray to the emperor to see.

The emperor glanced at the tray boldly, and the blood on his face disappeared immediately, and his whole body trembled.

Li Ruiyun glanced at the emperor sideways, and snorted disdainfully, "How about the emperor, do you feel uncomfortable in your heart when you personally killed a person who is loyal to you?" ”

Some emotions were churning in the emperor's eyes, and finally he sighed and was speechless.

"Let me ask you again, do you agree to my request?" Li Ruiyun didn't intend to let it go, and continued to press step by step.

"......" The emperor frowned, and he lost his claim for a while.

Staring intently at the change in the expression on the emperor's face, Li Ruiyun hooked the corners of his lips viciously, "It seems that the emperor hasn't made up his mind yet, right?" Since this is the case, Li Mouren will not hesitate to help the emperor make up his mind again. ”

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Bring it here." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Yu to react, several wolf-like guards rushed forward with a "hula", and grabbed Ding Jiying, who was already frightened next to him, and carried it to the emperor like an eagle catching a chicken.

The emperor's heart sank, and the flesh and blood on his body seemed to have been dried by the air, and he might wither and die at any time.

Looking at the posture in front of them, if they don't agree this time, will they not even let Ding Jiying go?

Although Ding Jiying is the younger brother of Ding Mengxuan, the woman whom Li Ruiyun once truly loved, and the son of Ding Jinzhi, the "fox friend and dog friend" whom he once relied on the most, all this is insignificant compared to his wolf ambitions.

"Seeing this person, has the emperor made up his mind?" Li Ruiyun struck while the iron was hot.

The emperor was sweating profusely and bowed his head hesitantly.

What should I do, what should I do, and whether I will say yes or not? On the balance of pros and cons in the depths of his heart, Ding Jiying is different from Zhou Huaiyi.

What is called sending charcoal in the snow, it is about Ding Jiying's spare effort to help him some time ago!

At that time, he was forced by Li Ruiyun to take the "Hundred Turns and Thousand Returns of Concentration Pill", so as to coerce him to write the edict of recalling the prince of Guangling in an attempt to murder.

Just when he was in a dilemma, thanks to Ding Jiying's reckless and unrequited rescue, and his mediation in many ways, this was the matter of Ling Yun secretly entering the palace to face the saint and taking away the secret decree......

In the face of such a loyal courtier, how should he choose? Do you choose to keep Ding Jiying or keep Lingyun? ……

Just now, in front of Li Ruiyun, he said in a vigorous way that "you can't have both fish and bear's paws", but the problem now is that they are all bear's paws!

Alas, I was too hard......

Looking at the emperor's frowning and tormented expression, Ding Jiying felt uncomfortable for a while, like a huge piece of ice, hard and cold, no matter how hard he tried to cover it, it would be useless.

He took a deep breath, as if he didn't feel pain, and opened his mouth in a low tone, "Your Majesty, don't write that secret decree!" Otherwise, Brother Ling and Prince Guangling entered the palace by mistake because of this scheme, and once they were ambushed, the consequences would be really unimaginable! ”……
