The man in black smiled." Your Majesty, you should understand that there are many things in this world that are not satisfactory.”He bowed, turned around, and disappeared into the darkness.
Ouyang Zui's face tensed up as he looked in the direction where he disappeared.
Since Mu Yunlan had sent people to protect Xu Ling 'er in secret, it must mean that he still liked her. However, Xu Ling 'er's experience was real. There was only one possibility.
Ouyang Zui's heart sank, and a hint of joy flashed across his face.
Something happened in Beijing.
That must be the case. Mu Yunlan had just ascended the throne and her foundation was not stable yet, so there were still many things that could not be settled. The pressure from the various parties in the court must have been considerable.
Superintendent Ouyang felt that her world had suddenly opened up.
Even though he had already understood this, it was obvious that Xu Ling 'er still did not understand.
Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to tell Xu Ling 'er about this. At the same time, he would also send troops to pay close attention to Beichen's situation. If there was any movement, he had to know immediately.
Ouyang Zui's lips curled into a satisfied smile as he turned around and left.
Xu Ling 'er had been in Jiang Country for some time. During this period of time, Superintendent Ouyang would often come to look for her. Because she had been in the army before, he often discussed military matters with her.
Since Xu Ling 'er was staying here, she made a symbolic suggestion.
"How do you think we should deal with this matter?”Ouyang Zui flipped through the memorial with a solemn expression. When he raised his head, Xu Ling 'er was staring out the window in a daze.
She often spaced out like this.
Even if she didn't say it, Ouyang Zui knew who she was thinking about.
Ouyang Zui sighed lightly and slowly closed the memorial in his hand. He followed her gaze and looked out the window.
"You've been here for some time. What do you think of Jiang Country?”
Xu Ling 'er was stunned and turned to look at him. She did not know why he suddenly asked this, but she smiled apologetically." I was lost in thought just now." Why did the king suddenly ask this? Is it because I was lost in thought while looking at the scenery outside the window?”
Mu Yunlan smiled." That's right. The scenery outside the window is exactly the same as Beichen, but you still don't have this place in your heart." Does Beichen's person affect your heart that much?”
Xu Ling 'er's face was filled with sadness as she lowered her head and laughed at herself.
"I was just thinking about the scenery of my hometown. Why was it that person? I grew up in Beichen, and I don't have any relatives?”
Ouyang Zui shook his head and poured a cup of tea. After taking a sip, he said,"If you really don't miss that man, why don't you marry me? You have to know that I'm the most outstanding man in Jiang Country. Even in the entire world, you wouldn't be able to find a second one.”He paused and looked at her seriously." Besides, I really like you. As long as you are with me, I promise that you will be the only one in my heart. You are the only one in this world who can share it with me.”
Xu Ling 'er stared at him in a daze for a long time before a smile appeared on her face.
"The king always likes to joke.”As she spoke, she stood up and walked to the window, looking at Ling Tian and the rest practicing their sword techniques.
Ouyang Zui did not get up. He sat on the chair and quietly watched her leave.
"As long as you're with me, I'll give you whatever you want. Including clearing the Ling family of their grievances."
"No need."
Superintendent Ouyang couldn't see the expression on her face. She lowered her head and looked at the memorial in her hand. She said to herself,"I heard that when you went to look for evidence of the former Crown Prince Mu Yunqi colluding with important officials, you found evidence of him framing the Ling family. I think that as long as I can get my hands on the evidence, then with the power of our Jiang Country, it won't be difficult for us to clear the Ling Family's name.”
Xu Ling 'er's eyes flashed with surprise. She turned around and looked at him.
Ouyang Zui was also looking at her, but he didn't see the expected joy. Instead, he saw vigilance and wariness on her face. He suddenly couldn't understand why Xu Ling 'er was looking at him like that.
"This is a secret. Mu Yunlan won't let anyone know. How did you know?"
Ouyang Zui was speechless and hurriedly looked away.
However, her gaze seemed to have a temperature that burned Ouyang Zui's heart.
Xu Ling 'er stepped forward and asked,""Mu Yunlan will definitely hide this matter very well. No matter how powerful your Jiang Country is, you won't be able to find out such a secret.”As she spoke, an ominous feeling flashed across her heart." Did something happen to Beichen?"”
Ouyang Zui's heart sank. He really wanted to bang his head against the wall.
He was a boorish man, yet he had to pretend to be smart in front of this girl.
Seeing his reaction, Xu Ling 'er was even more certain of what he was thinking. She hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his collar. She said angrily,"Something must have happened to Beichen, right? What happened to Mu Yunlan?"
Ouyang Zui rolled his eyes at her." Why are you still worried about him?”
Xu Ling 'er was stunned by his question. She felt a sharp pain in her heart, making her feel very uncomfortable. She took a deep breath, and an invisible pressure emanated from her body.
"Tell me! What happened to Beichen?"
Ouyang Zui looked at her and let out a long sigh. He pried her hand away and stood up with a solemn expression." Mu Yunlan is poisoned and won't live long."”
"You're lying!" Xu Ling 'er retorted without hesitation. However, her words sounded like a retort, but they were more like words of comfort to herself." He's the emperor of the current dynasty. There are people around him who protect him. How could he be poisoned?!"”
"It's the people around him."
Xu Ling 'er's eyes widened as a petite figure flashed across her mind.
"According to my investigation, that person was sent by Mu Yunqi to Mu Yunlan's side. You should have executed Mu Yunqi back then! He has been scheming for so many years to obtain this world. Not only does he have your help, but he also has other forces.”
Xu Ling 'er shook her head in disbelief." Impossible. He couldn't have been poisoned." How was that possible? You must be lying to me, right?"
Ouyang Zui heaved a long sigh." I'm not lying to you.”
"Then tell me, what kind of poison did he get?”
Ouyang Zui looked at her and hesitated. He indeed knew what poison Mu Yunlan had, but he did not want to tell her. He understood that she still could not let go of him.
If he told her, she would definitely give him the antidote without caring about her own safety.
"Tell me! Tell me!" Xu Ling 'er pounced on him and grabbed his clothes tightly.
Ouyang Zui looked at her helplessly." He was poisoned by Jiang Country. Beichen didn't have the antidote, but Jiang Country did.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:52AM
