" They didn't go outside the pass." Ouyang Yuan looked at Zhao Luyan and said seriously," They are in the capital."”
"What? In Beijing?" Zhao Luyan was truly shocked this time. She had never expected that Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye would be in the capital. They were so close to each other. How was this possible? "Impossible, absolutely impossible. They had managed to escape with great difficulty, so why would they walk right into the trap? They should know that the capital is not Jiangluo City. It's my father's territory. If they're smart, they definitely won't come and die.”
"But I've already met them." Ouyang Yuan said calmly," Although I haven't had much contact with them, I'm definitely not wrong. You should know Huangfu Ye's personality very well. No matter what, he must avenge his father, so he won't give up easily.”
"Where did you see them?"
"He Manor. However, he only saw Shen Xiyin and did not see Huangfu Ye. As far as I know, Huangfu Ye came to the capital alone to seek revenge on your father. Shen Xiyin was worried, so she followed him. She had been looking for Huangfu Ye but to no avail.”Ouyang Yuan told Zhao Luyan everything he knew. He waited for her reaction and waited for her to say something.
Zhao Luyan didn't say anything immediately. She thought for a moment and then asked,"Do you know where Huangfu Ye is now?”
"I don't know." Ouyang shook her head and said," They have been searching for the past few days, but they have not found her. Otherwise, Shen Xiyin would not have continued to stay here." Actually, I told you about this today because I hope Miss Zhao can help me find Huangfu Ye…"
"You want me to help them find Huangfu Ye? Are you kidding me?”Zhao Luyan stood up angrily and questioned," Back then, you didn't listen to me and let them go. If my subordinates were so disobedient, I would have killed them long ago. But you are a forbidden official guard, I can't afford to offend you, so forget it. Isn't it too ridiculous to make such a request to me now? You clearly know that these two people can't be left alive, but you still want me to help you find them. What are your intentions? Let me tell you clearly, I, Zhao Luyan, am not a good person. I can't help others like this.”Zhao Luyan was furious at the thought of Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye. It was not only because Shen Xiyin and Fu Ruihai had an ambiguous relationship, but also because Huangfu Ye was fickle and forgot about her the moment he saw Shen Xiyin. On the surface, she believed in him, but in her heart, she was more willing to believe in Shen Xiyin. Just based on these two points, wanting Zhao Luyan to help them was simply a fantasy. It was impossible. Zhao Luyan knew about the relationship between Ouyang Yuan and He Yunxiu. It turned out that this was the reason for today. She had found the wrong person. Zhao Luyan was not in the mood to continue talking to him. She turned around and walked towards the door.
"Miss Zhao, please wait." Ouyang Yuan called out lightly, but he did not look at her. He only smiled and said," I know very well about the grudges between Miss Zhao and them. If I really wanted to save them, would I tell you? If I tell you, wouldn't that be equivalent to forcing them to their deaths? Miss Zhao, do you still remember what I said just now? I regret letting them go back then, so this time, I'm here to work with you.”
Zhao Luyan recalled Ouyang Yuan's words and turned around to look at him. He didn't seem to be lying, so she sat down again and asked,"What do you plan to do?"
"I know that Miss Zhao must have wanted to kill them after hearing what I said just now. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said those words just now.”Ouyang Yuan smiled and continued," I know that Miss Zhao is resourceful. It's not difficult to find someone. Moreover, this is the capital. Although it's under the feet of the emperor, according to what I know, Lord Zhao has arranged more people here than the emperor. As long as you tell them, I believe there will be news soon.”
"I can't let my father know about this.”Zhao Luyan suddenly said," You saw it too. When we were in Jiangluo City, my father thought that they were dead. Moreover, it was my senior brother Fu Ruihai who killed them personally. If I tell him now that Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye are not dead, my father will definitely fly into a rage. When that happens, my senior brother's life will be on the line. I don't want to see him like this.”
"I didn't expect Miss Zhao to be such a loyal person. Even if she knew all this, she still wanted to protect Fu Ruihai. I'm afraid Fu Ruihai won't appreciate your kindness and will blame you instead. Is it worth it for you to do this?”
"You don't have to tell me whether it's worth it or not. It has nothing to do with you whether Fu Ruihai accepts my kindness or not. I just like him, so I want to protect him. It has nothing to do with you.”Zhao Luyan warned.
"Could it be that Miss Zhao wants to let Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye off?”Ouyang Yuan asked.
" Hmph!" Zhao Luyan snorted coldly." Of course I won't let them go. They'll be a disaster if I keep them. I'm not at ease." Thank you for telling me this. I'll send someone to deal with them. You don't have to worry about it.”Zhao Luyan decided to leave this matter to Liu Desheng and the others. Although these people were not good at martial arts, they were more than enough to deal with Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye. Moreover, it could make Fu Ruihai unable to detect it. Zhao Luyan was very pleased with herself after thinking of this method.
"If Miss Zhao can settle it herself, that would be great. There's no need for me to trouble you.”Ouyang Yuan smiled and said," But I hope that Miss Zhao can promise me one thing. This matter must be carried out in secret. Neither Zhao Shengming nor He Yunxiu can know about it. It's best if they don't find out that this matter is related to me.”
"What, Lord Ouyang betrayed them, and now you want me to take the blame for you?”Zhao Luyan sneered. It seemed that Ouyang Yuan was even more cunning than her." Is there such a good thing in this world? If Fu Ruihai finds out, he might kill me. I have a hard time defending myself, but you've been a good person. He Yunxiu will never know. Besides, you know very well what kind of relationship my father has with He Zhong. If we tell the Emperor that he hid Shen Xiyin and that he was also involved in the matter of the Night-Luminescent Pearl, then it will be a capital crime. At that time, not only would He Yunxiu not be able to enter the palace, He Zhong would also be finished. My father and I are even more like fish in water. Do you think I'll give up this opportunity?”
"If you dare to tell anyone about this, I'll tell them about what happened in Jiangluo City. Back then, Shen Xiyin, Huangfu Ye, and that Daoist priest were all doomed. It was you who suddenly discovered Fu Ruihai and asked me to show mercy. Furthermore, in order to give you face, even though he knew that Fu Ruihai was talking nonsense, he still nodded in agreement. "In the end, I didn't kill them because of you. If it wasn't Fu Ruihai, but someone else who told me those words, I definitely wouldn't have agreed. If I tell anyone about this or Zhao Shengming, not only will Fu Ruihai die, you will die too. If he told the emperor, Zhao Shengming would also die.”Ouyang Yuan analyzed the pros and cons for Zhao Luyan.
"Are you threatening me?" Zhao Luyan raised her eyebrows and looked at him, unconvinced.
"I don't want to do this, but I have no choice. Do you know why I want to meet you alone? It's because I don't want to expand this matter. You can kill He Zhong and He Yunxiu, but I can also kill you, Fu Ruihai, and Zhao Shengming. The opportunity is the same for all of us. The key lies in how we choose. If we can keep it a secret and resolve this matter quietly, we can pretend that nothing has happened and rest easy in the future."If Miss Zhao does the opposite and goes against me and reports He Zhong and He Yunxiu, then I have no choice but to give them a taste of their own medicine.”Ouyang Yuan said again. Seeing Zhao Luyan frowning and looking very hesitant, he added," Miss Zhao should understand that if this matter gets out, not just a few people will be involved. He Zhong, Zhao Shengming, you, Fu Ruihai, me, Lu Wangyuan, Consort Chen, He Huafeng, everyone will be implicated. Does Miss Zhao really want this? Does she want everyone to die?" Even if you don't care about the others, including your father, Zhao Shengming, you and Fu Ruihai probably don't want to die yet. That's all I have to say. Whether we cooperate or not depends on your words.”After he finished speaking, Ouyang Yuan sat down and quietly waited for Zhao Luyan's answer.
Zhao Luyan hesitated. Ouyang Yuan was right. If this matter was exposed, it would not benefit anyone. It did not matter if others died, but she did not want to die. There was also Fu Ruihai. He did not want him to die either. Moreover, she was about to enter the palace. If something went wrong at this time, all her efforts would be in vain. Zhao Luyan was unwilling. It seemed that he had to cooperate with Ouyang Yuan. However, this was only temporary. When his position was stable, Ouyang Yuan would definitely die. After making up her mind, Zhao Luyan nodded with a bitter smile."Looks like I have no other choice. Working with you is my only choice. Alright, I agree to your request. No one else knows about this except us. Once he found them, he would not show them any mercy.”As she spoke hatefully, she suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked," Does Fu Ruihai know about this?”
Ouyang Yuan didn't know if he should tell her. He was afraid that she wouldn't be able to accept it. After thinking about it, he said it,"I saw him near the He residence. A few nights ago, I went to look for He Yunxiu and happened to see her and Shen Xiyin leaving the house. I wanted to follow them and see where they went, but Fu Ruihai suddenly jumped out and stopped me. I think he should know.”
As expected, when she thought about Fu Ruihai's behavior in the morning, Zhao Luyan finally understood. It turned out that Fu Ruihai had long known that Shen Xiyin had arrived in the capital and was probably under his protection. No wonder he had said so much in the morning. He closed his eyes and calmed himself down before asking,""It seems that Lord Ouyang already knew about this matter. Why did you only tell me now?”
" Because I knew that once I said it, Miss Zhao would be extremely agitated and want to kill them immediately, especially after knowing that Shen Xiyin might be together with Fu Ruihai…" Ouyang Yuan said as he looked at Zhao Luyan with a cold smile." Because of He Yunxiu, I didn't want to kill them at first. I wanted to let them go because of He Yunxiu. With Shen Xiyin gone, they wouldn't be in danger. I tried to persuade He Yunxiu not to get involved in this matter, but it didn't work out. They still want to get involved. I really had no choice but to come to you. I didn't come to you to tell on He Zhong, but I wanted you to kill Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye with me in secret. If you want to tell anyone about this, especially if you drag He Yunxiu into it, I won't agree. You have to understand this.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:052520186:07PM
