Chapter 60: Dead or Alive?

"Bei'er, Ouyang Xiao really deserves this injury, this is what he deserves, I am too light, you sit down first, and see how I seek justice for you. The emperor laughed secretly in his heart, but his face did not change much, his face was gloomy, he pulled Beidou to sit down beside him, feeling Beidou's cold little hand, and felt that Ouyang Xiao was indeed hateful, and he actually snatched her precious pearl, and it was time to teach him a good lesson.

Besides, Ouyang Xiao always does things without leakage, and there is always no way for the emperor to find a way to punish him, this will have this opportunity, of course, it can't be let go.

Seeing Beidou's eager concern, Ouyang Liyuan next to him also secretly pursed his lips, with a smile in his eyes, although he felt sorry for his nephew's injury, but if this injury could be exchanged for his beloved, it would be worth it.

Ouyang Xiao also understood, so he was enduring it, and Beidou's eager voice just now had already made him very happy, and he felt that no matter what, it was worth it.

But they know, Prime Minister Ouyang doesn't know, poor Prime Minister Ouyang has become a chess piece like this, hearing the emperor say this, he suddenly fell to the ground with the knife in his hand, knelt down next to Ouyang Xiao, kowtowed, like that, as if he was more than ten years old in an instant, "Your Majesty, the rebel son has committed such a big crime now, Weichen does not ask His Majesty to bypass the rebel, I only hope that Your Majesty will see that the Ouyang family has done their best to the Xingchen Kingdom, is loyal, and let him live, and the minister is willing to resign and suffer on his behalf." โ€

After all, it is the meat in the heart, and Prime Minister Ouyang is the only son, how can the Ouyang family cut off the incense.

Ouyang Xiao suddenly had a sour nose, turned his head to look at Ouyang Prime Minister, and found that at some point, his once high-spirited father was now old, and he was already gray in his fifties. After all, the deaths of the two older brothers were not all his fault.

Beidou was a little irritable, his eyes kept staring at Ouyang Xiao's blood-red sleeves, and he couldn't help but look at the emperor who still didn't change his face and didn't seem to be going to speak, "Father." โ€

"Bei'er doesn't have to be in a hurry, his father has his own decision. The emperor said, looking at the father and son of the Ouyang family below, "The Ouyang family has done their best for the Xingchen country for generations, and has made countless contributions, Ouyang Heng and Ouyang Yun have fallen for the country, but since ancient times, the merits have not been worthy, and the crime of one person is not the same as that of one person, and the national law of the stars has not been said to be guilty on behalf of him, Ouyang Prime Minister, it is not that I do not allow it, but that the national law is not followed, but I can also be lenient in today's affairs, and Ouyang Xiao's crime is also as I said, he should suffer alone, and it will not harm the Ouyang family, please sit on the side of the old prime minister." The Emperor said in a deep voice.

Prime Minister Ouyang suddenly trembled, and the eldest prince had already stepped forward to support him, "Prime Minister Ouyang, please first." โ€

Prime Minister Ouyang stiffened for a while, and then he could only speak calmly, with a little despair, "Your Majesty." Of course he understands the emperor's words, what he conceals is that as long as he doesn't interfere, he can protect the Ouyang family, and Ouyang Xiao will bear all the blame, if he intervenes, then it will cause trouble to the Ouyang family, whether he wants to protect the family or protect his son, it only depends on his choice.

As the head of the Ouyang family, he can exchange his life for his son's life, but he can't bury hundreds of lives of the Ouyang family for his son, otherwise even if he dies, he will have no shame to see the ancestors of the Ouyang family.

So Prime Minister Ouyang made a choice in an instant, and could only sit down with the help of the eldest prince, looking at Ouyang Xiao on the ground with a slight dementia.

Even the emperor was a little reluctant to go, fooling the old prime minister like this, if he found out, I am afraid that the old prime minister would make trouble.

"Ouyang Xiao, I said when I promised you to stay in the princess's mansion in the early years, once you enter the princess's mansion, you have to take care of the princess's mansion, once the princess moves in, you must protect its safety, now you not only leave your post without permission, causing trouble, but also take the opportunity to ruin the princess's innocence, blaspheme the princess, a love word will think about it, if the princess and you are happy, but now, it is obviously just your wishful thinking, today you are guilty of the crime, my princess Xingchen is what you can bully, come here, put Ouyang Xiao in the prison for the time being, tomorrow summon the marble three divisions to trial, and the case will be decided immediatelyใ€‚ โ€

"Wait. As soon as the emperor's voice fell, Beidou had already spoken, "Father, those who don't know are not guilty, Lord Ouyang was poisoned at the time, and it didn't ruin Bei'er's innocence, at best, it was just an offense, Lord Ouyang has only done nothing to the princess's mansion over the years, if he erases everything just because of this little thing, this makes it better for people who do things for the court in the future to walk on thin ice, and ask his father to take it lightly." โ€

"Bold. The emperor's face darkened, and he let out a loud shout.

Beidou was stunned, gritted his teeth, and hurriedly knelt down.

The emperor supported her in time, sighed, and softened slightly in his words, "Bei'er, my father is all for you, if you don't deal with Ouyang Xiao today, how should you meet the world in the future, you are a princess." โ€

"Father, do you think your daughter's reputation is still unsightly, and now there is more stigma, why not. Beidou couldn't help but smile bitterly, her reputation was already stinking, and now she was afraid of something.

The emperor's expression was also a little unnatural, but he still insisted on not changing and took the case." Hmph, Bei'er doesn't need to say it again, but since it's you who plead, then I can also open the net to give him a chance, Ouyang Xiao dares to do such a thing, he has to pay the price, responsible for this mistake, since Bei'er pleaded, then I also want you to bear the blame, the princess's reputation can't be ruined like this, Ouyang Xiao, as a courtier, knows the law and violates the law, the capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime is inescapable, temporarily cut off the right minister's authority, close the princess's mansion and not go out, serve the princess left and right, choose a day to get engaged, if the three-year period expires and the princess cannot get the consent of the princess to marry, and then make a decision, if there is any dissatisfaction with the princess or betrayal of the princess during the period, the crime is added to the crime, Bei'er, since this is what you want, you must also enforce the lawor else according to the previous conviction. โ€

Beidou's face suddenly turned pale, the emperor was simply forcing her, gritting his teeth, Beidou's heart was very chaotic.

Suddenly, Ouyang Liyuan next to her let out a low shout, and everyone turned their heads to look at her gaze, Ouyang Xiao was finally physically exhausted, and fell on the field, with a pool of blood flowing under him.

The five princes nearby hurriedly went over and wanted to go over to have a look, and the imperial doctor who had been drunk by Beidou before also wanted to step forward in fear, but was stopped by the emperor.

"Don't move. The emperor shouted, didn't look at Ouyang Xiao, and turned his head to look at Beidou, "Since Ouyang Xiao can't speak, then Bei'er will answer on his behalf, whether to choose one or the other."
