"It has nothing to do with Shen Xiyin and the others.”He Yunxiu interrupted him." It's me. Actually, both of us know that it's impossible for us. Since that's the case, why should we delay each other?”
" Who said it's impossible? As long as you're willing to come with me…"
"I don't want to." He Yunxiu said against her will," I can't leave my father, and I can't harm my father because of my selfish desires. Especially now, her brother was a coward and was threatened by Zhao Luyan. He couldn't do anything. If I don't make a move, who else can work for father?”
"Do you still want to interfere in this matter?”Ouyang Yuan looked at He Yunxiu helplessly, waiting for her answer. He Yunxiu just didn't say anything. Ouyang Yuan could only continue," You can't do anything about this. The Emperor and Zhao Shengming are determined to win. If they find out that you're involved, you'll definitely die. Do you know that?" Since you've seen the luminous pearl, you must know the secret of the luminous pearl. It's about the sixth prince. No matter whether you can find him or not, you can't protect him. He will definitely die because he is a threat to the throne.”
He Yunxiu frowned in confusion.""It has been so many years. The sixth prince has done nothing among the people. If he wanted to rebel, he wouldn't have waited until now. It's been twenty years. Perhaps he has long lost interest in this. Why are you still holding on to him?”
"It's not that I can't get along with him, it's the current emperor.”Ouyang Yuan explained," I can believe that the Sixth Prince no longer has that heart. If the Emperor doesn't believe me, what can I do?"”
"Then what do you want? Do you want me to hand Shen Xiyin over to you so that you can kill her?”
"I don't want to kill Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye. I don't have any grudges against them, so killing them won't do me any good. " And they have an unusual relationship with you." As she spoke, she looked at He Yunxiu, but she ignored her. She sighed and continued," Just based on this point, I won't make a move on them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have listened to Fu Ruihai." However, if they stay here, they will always be a scourge. If they are not careful, not only will they harm themselves, but they will also harm you and Grand Preceptor He. You have to think for yourselves. Don't throw your lives away for two strangers. It's not worth it. If you really want to save them, let them leave quickly. Doing so is beneficial to them, to you, and to Grand Preceptor He.”
"What about after they leave?" He Yunxiu finally turned her head to look at him and said with a sneer," Do you want us to tell you the secret of the Night-Luminescent Pearl so that you can claim credit for it?”
"Am I that kind of person? Grand Preceptor He is my savior, and you are also mine…How could I harm you?”Ouyang Yuan tried his best to explain," I've never thought of getting anything from you. Although it's beneficial to me, it'll only harm you. I won't do that. You're in a bad mood today and don't want to talk about this. I don't have to say it. I don't want to argue with you. Anyway, we have plenty of opportunities. We'll talk about it later.”
"It's better to make things clear now. There's probably no future. I'll be entering the palace in two days, and we won't have the chance to meet again.”He Yunxiu said bitterly and calmly.
" You really want to…" Ouyang Yuan was unwilling to accept this fact. He frowned and looked at her in disbelief.
He Yunxiu took a deep breath and nodded.""This is fate. It can't be changed. You and I are not fated to be together. I hope you can accept this fact and don't disturb me again. After I came back, I planned to look for you tomorrow. Other than telling you these things, I have another thing to ask you. I hope you can answer truthfully. Perhaps you don't want me to know, but this is the last thing I'll do for my father. I hope you can fulfill my wish.”
"Alright, go ahead. I can tell you everything I know.”In front of He Yunxiu, Ouyang Yuan could not refuse.
"Who was the person you killed in Linzhou?”He Yunxiu asked directly.
"How did you know?" Ouyang Yuan was shocked. This matter was very secretive and no one knew. Could it be…He suddenly thought of Fu Ruihai. It could be him. "Did Fu Ruihai tell you?”
"It doesn't matter who told me. What matters is who that person is and why did you kill him?”He Yunxiu asked with a frown. She was afraid that Ouyang Yuan would not tell her, so she deliberately asked," Is it related to that luminous pearl?"”
"Of course it has something to do with him. That person is the Sixth Prince's personal bodyguard, Zhang Jian. He is very skilled in martial arts. The late Emperor asked him and the other five people to escort the Sixth Prince away. Because they were in a hurry, they didn't bring their families along and returned later. The current Emperor, who was also the Crown Prince and Zhao Shengming, had locked up their relatives and forced them to reveal the whereabouts of the Sixth Prince. Only their families were not controlled because they could not be found. Zhang Jian was one of them. After the six of them were captured, none of them revealed the whereabouts of the sixth prince. They were all fearless in the face of danger. The current emperor flew into a rage out of humiliation and killed them all. Zhang Jian was caught by Zhao Shengming, but he had escaped accidentally. The current emperor was very angry and sent people to search everywhere, but there was no news. Later, someone who knew him told him about it in order to claim credit and reward. The emperor felt that he might know the whereabouts of the sixth prince, so he didn't let us do anything. He asked me to look for him several times, using both carrot and stick, but he refused to say anything. After obtaining the luminous pearl, the emperor felt that he had no value and asked me to kill him. In order to prevent the news from leaking, including his children, they were all killed.”Ouyang Yuan said calmly without any expression on his face.
He Yunxiu, who knew the truth, found it unacceptable. She closed her eyes silently and said after a long silence,"You're really ruthless. In order to keep the secret, you actually killed their entire family.”
"I have no choice. I have to do whatever the emperor wants me to do. Otherwise, I won't be able to live.”Ouyang Yuan argued," Actually, there were a few times when they wanted to leave, but I threatened them that if they left, I would kill everyone here. That's why they didn't leave. Perhaps they had already known this outcome, so they did not resist in the end.”
"If they leave, will you really kill everyone there?”
"This is the emperor's secret order, I dare not disobey.”
He Yunxiu didn't know what to say when Ouyang Yuan was like this. He was also forced to do so. She had no right to criticize him. He looked at the sky and said," It's getting late. I should go back. Thank you for telling me this. If I had found you earlier, it might not have been so troublesome." Last time, I promised father that I would never see you again. Today, I had no choice. In the future, let's really not meet again.”
"You still don't want to come with me." Ouyang Yuan was a little disappointed, but he didn't want to give up just like that. He looked at her longingly again and asked," If you're willing to come with me, I can take you away from this place and not care about anything. I don't want fame and fortune, and you don't want to be a princess." I remember you once told me that you were willing to be with me, to wander around the world. Have you forgotten? I didn't agree to it because I didn't know that this day would come. Now I understand that if you're willing to give me a chance, I…"
"It's too late, it's all too late. When I told you this, everything was still possible, but you rejected me. But I can't wait for you. My father needs me. He needs me to sacrifice and contribute to this family. He's my father. I can't refuse. If it were you, it might be the same. Alright, I'll take my leave now. See you again.”He Yunxiu finished her last sentence and left without looking back. She didn't turn back, not because she didn't want to leave, but because she was crying. She didn't want Ouyang Yuan to see her tears.
"Xiu-Er." Ouyang Yuan wanted to call out to her and pull her, but his hand stopped in mid-air. However, he did not have the courage to chase after her. He could only watch helplessly as she disappeared from his sight. Ouyang Yuan believed that He Yunxiu's insistence on entering the palace was not only for He Zhong, but also for Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye. He regretted it once again. If he had killed them in Jiangluo City, would this have never happened? Now that Shen Xiyin was being protected by them, he couldn't do it. Huangfu Ye was nowhere to be found. It would not be easy to get rid of them. Oh right, Zhao Luyan. He suddenly thought of this person. If she knew that Huangfu Ye and Shen Xiyin were still alive, she would definitely do everything she could to kill them. Ouyang Yuan decided to find Zhao Luyan and join forces with her to deal with Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye. Perhaps doing this would be unfair to He Zhong and He Yunxiu, but only in this way could they be safe. Thinking of this, Ouyang Yuan did not delay any longer and hurriedly turned back. As he walked, he suddenly thought that it was very difficult to see Zhao Luyan in the residence. Fu Ruihai would not let him see Zhao Luyan, and he could not let Fu Ruihai know about this. It seemed that this matter was not easy. He needed to consider it carefully. Ouyang Yuan was prepared to go to the vicinity of the Zhao Residence to observe and see if Zhao Luyan would come out alone.
Fu Ruihai once again came to the thatched cottage where Taoist Zhonghui lived. It had been three days, but he still hadn't returned. He was anxious to death. Tomorrow, he would enter the palace to serve as the imperial guard. Once he entered the palace, it would be inconvenient to come out. This was probably the last time. He didn't know what Regret Daoist would say if he found out about this matter. Would he support or oppose it? It seemed that it was useless. He had to go this time. Fu Ruihai hoped that he could see Shen Xiyin this time, but after thinking about it, it was unlikely. She was in the He residence, and Daoist Priest Regret would not let her out. After thinking about it, he gave up. Looking ahead, it was dead silent. It seemed that he had not returned yet. However, he did not leave. On the last day, he decided to wait a little longer.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was actually Daoist Priest Regret and Shen Xiyin. He felt a burst of joy in his heart. It seemed that the heavens had treated him well. He hurriedly went over and called out,"Godfather." As he did not know how to address Shen Xiyin, he did not speak and only looked at her silently.
"Why is it you?" Regret was a little surprised to see Fu Ruihai. He didn't expect him to be waiting for him here. Could something have happened? Actually, he had wanted to look for Fu Ruihai just now, but Shen Xiyin was by his side and it was inconvenient. If Zhao Shengming found out, it would not be a good thing. After thinking about it, he did not go. Unexpectedly, Fu Ruihai was waiting for them here. He waved his hand to stop Fu Ruihai from speaking and only said," We're on the road. It's not convenient to talk. Let's go back."”Fu Ruihai nodded and left with him. Shen Xiyin followed behind.
"You look very anxious. Did something happen?”As soon as he entered the room, Regretful Daoist went straight to the point and asked," Did Zhao Shengming discover something?”
"No, Zhao Shengming doesn't know that you're here. He just suddenly asked me to enter the palace to be some imperial guard. I've been wanting to discuss this with my godfather, but you didn't come back.”Fu Ruihai looked at him and said. Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:052520186:07PM
