Who will suffer next... Princess Huanyu, or her son Ling Yun? …
He Yuting thought over and over again about the bloody and tragic things that had happened around him in recent days, and he felt pain piercing his heart; his heart was extremely horrified.
You know, Ling Yun is Li Ruiyun's biggest enemy.
Li Ruiyun once pretended to be Ling Yun's identity as the eldest son of Lord Hou, and even pretended to be his engaged wife Ding Mengxuan; he hated Ling Yun himself deeply and was bound to kill him as soon as possible.
And Ling Yun was not the one who suffered the loss. At the end of the day, he rose up and joined forces with others to assassinate Li Ruiyun on his wedding night. He split mountains and rivers with a "white rainbow piercing the sun" and almost killed Li Ruiyun... …
Especially what happened a few months ago: Ling Yun was implicated in the Prince's case and was thrown into the Tianlao... He was falsely accused of arson in the Tianlao, and he escaped from prison... He was plotted by Li Ruiyun, and he was trapped in the Tianxiao... He was forced to go to the Criminal Department. The Shangshu Mansion is looking for the dragon and phoenix jade talisman... in a desperate move, he detonates a gunpowder trap in Mr. Lu's study... and wants to die with Tian Xiao's people...
Now that I think about it, which one is closely related to and tit for tat with Li Ruiyun? It can be said that there is him without me, there is me without him; they are irreconcilable, water and fire are incompatible, and there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation!
And now that Ling Yun is being held in the sky prison, he is like fish on a knife, ready to be slaughtered - it would be easy for Li Ruiyun to kill him!
Thinking of this, He Yuting felt a bone-chilling chill welling up from the depths of his heart, instantly attacking his limbs and bones, penetrating into every pore and every cell in his body, making his whole body tremble with cold. He slumped down in the chair, his face ashen.
what to do? what to do?
Although he and Ling Yun had a heated argument a few days ago because Tian Xiao's people were interfering with it, Ling Yun even openly proposed to completely sever the father-son relationship with him - but even if the bones are broken and the tendons are broken, the blood relationship between them is no matter what. Nothing can be changed; even if ten thousand years pass, they are still biological father and son!
Seeing Ling Yun in danger at this time, as a father, He Yuting wanted to help his son get out of the immediate crisis! But……
But in the current extremely unfavorable situation, Li Ruiyun is cold-blooded and murderous, the Sky Owls are eyeing him, Li Zhishan is ferocious and violent, and his enemy Ding Jinzhi is even more duplicitous and cheating on himself - who can he turn to for help? What can he do?
He Yuting was in pain and wandering; all the emotions were surging in his heart but he suppressed them because he couldn't find anyone to talk to, including his wife Princess Changqing.
——Since he was threatened by Li Ruiyun to betray his son a few months ago, Princess Chang Qing has ignored him until now. So he was the only one to taste the bitter and unbearable taste.
He put his hands into his hair in confusion, thinking about it over and over again. His mind was still in a mess, and he simply couldn't think about anything else...
After an unknown amount of time, he raised his empty eyes again and bit his right knuckles hard, as if only severe pain could calm him down.
At this time, he thought of Princess Huanyu again.
Princess Huanyu is the daughter of Prince Jinling. Now that Prince Jinling is dead, he knows that Li Ruiyun will not let her go.
And after all, Huanyu is also his daughter-in-law and the niece of Princess Changqing. Since he can't save his son, if he can help Huanyu avoid this disaster, it can be considered as some comfort to his guilt-ridden heart. Already...
The sky outside the window is gray, and the clouds are pulled low by the trapped moisture. They are heavy and oppressive above the head, like a ceiling that is about to collapse.
Princess Huanyu's mood at this time was several times worse than that of He Yuting.
She first learned the bad news from the detective guards that her father, Prince Jinling, was forced to death by Li Ruiyun in the Jinluan Palace and hit a pillar; she also heard the news from the secret guards beside her that Li Ruiyun sent people to search the palace of Prince Jinling. , couldn’t help but be shocked.
At that moment, she seemed to be dumbfounded and could not speak for a long time; then she screamed loudly, her face full of crazy grief, anger and despair, and then she threw herself into the arms of Princess Changqing and burst into tears. Cross current, almost collapsed.
The late autumn sunlight reflected on the two of them through the sparse flowers and trees, with mottled light and shadow, as pale as frost.
At this time, He Yuting walked in from outside. The grief-stricken cries of the two people in front of him were like sharp knives, gouging out his heart.
Huge waves crashed in his chest, his eyes were blood red, but he remained silent.
The young master He Tianci on the side was also frightened and overwhelmed, and burst into tears.
He Yuting had no choice but to let his family take the young master down first, and then retreated. There were only three of them left in the hall.
At this time, Huanyu and Chang Qing were crying hoarsely, just sobbing and choking.
He Yuting was stunned for a long time, and then said softly: "You probably all know what happened in recent days. Although Prince Jinling is dead, they will not let it go."
Princess Chang Qing was startled for a moment, then raised her tearful eyes and said, "He Yuting, you... what do you mean by this?"
He Yuting said: "They are cruel and will never let Huan Yu go."
"Why?..." Princess Chang Qing's eyes were as cold as ice and she said angrily: "Yes, Huanyu is the daughter of my imperial brother, but she is now the young lady of my Lord Marquis's residence - with me, Chang Qing, Let’s see who dares to lay a finger on my niece!”
He Yuting's eyes widened, and there were shallow lines on his forehead. He said with a grimace: "My princess, could you please lower your voice? Do you think your Zhao family still rules the world now? Li Ruiyun has captured the jade seal and is under house arrest. The emperor has taken over the power in the court and controlled the capital inside and outside. He even dares to kill the queen and the prince. Now let alone Huanyu, our lives are in their hands!"
"He Yuting, you coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Princess Chang Qing's eyes were as bright as washed jade, and she said angrily: "Li Ruiyun and Ding Jinzhi are rebellious officials and traitors. They seek power and usurp the throne, and are the target of thousands of people. Are you going to join them now?"
He Yuting's whole heart felt sour; he folded his fingers together, his joints turned pale, and said dumbly: "Princess, I know that since Zhichao's incident, you have always hated me, ignored me, and even looked down on me, but Do you know that there are some things that I can’t help myself with! Now that things have happened, it is no longer the time to vent my anger. For the sake of Huanyu’s safety, she must leave here immediately, otherwise she will die! "
Huanyu clenched her teeth tightly, barely able to bear the choking tremors in her throat, and cried: "No, since I have married into the He family, I will be born as a member of the He family, and die as a ghost of the He family, not to mention that I still have my God-given, how can I bear to abandon him? Moreover, my father is dead and my family has been destroyed. What’s the point of leaving me alone in the world? Just let them come. I want to die with them. See you!"
He Yuting sneered and said: "Yes, when they come, it is true that you will meet each other through death, but dying together is probably wishful thinking."
Huan Yu's eyes were condensed and he was stunned for a moment, "What?..."
He Yuting sighed: "These days, I have witnessed too many killings. To be honest, I really don't want anyone else to die innocently, just like you now. Huanyu, as a father, I admire your courage. With magnanimity, you just need to know that steel must be used on the blade, and even if you die, you must die well.
"If you don't leave now, are you going to sit back and wait for death? Even if you die, it has no value at all, and it just fulfills the enemy's wish. Does it make sense? On the contrary, if you leave here, you still have the opportunity to do what you want to do. . Remember this sentence: If you keep the green hills, you won’t be afraid of running out of firewood; but if you die, you will have nothing..."
He paused for a moment and then said: "After saying this as a father, you can make up your own mind as to where to go."
After saying that, he cupped his hands towards the two of them, then with a slight sigh, he turned around and walked out with difficulty. He staggered, stumbling a little.
At this moment, Huan Yu and Chang Qing felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling. They were panicked and completely lost their opinions. The two stared at each other for a long time, then hugged each other and started crying.
The rain is everywhere and the wind is blowing; the grass is barren and the yellow leaves are withering. There are ghost-like shadows everywhere, and the once prosperous capital now presents a doomsday-like scene, making people feel desolate and desperate.
Ding Jinzhi, on Li Ruiyun's order, led his guards to search the Jinling Palace. The more than 200 men, women, old and children in the poor house were all taken into prison and awaited punishment.
After completing the task, he hurried back to the palace with Ding Yi, Ding Xin and other close confidants to report the results to Li Ruiyun.
Li Ruiyun nodded with satisfaction and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, is there anyone else in the Jinling Palace who has been imprisoned?"
"Master Li is referring to..."
"Princess Huanyu." Li Ruiyun's eyes flashed with a flash of awe-inspiring murderous intent.
Ding Jinzhi was stunned for a moment and murmured: "Princess Huanyu? She is the young lady of the Marquis's residence. She..."
"She is also the daughter of King Jinling, and she was also Lingyun's former wife."
Ding Jinzhi hesitated, looking a little embarrassed, "This-"
Li Ruiyun said impatiently: "Does Master Ding feel embarrassed about this, this, and that?"
Ding Jinzhi smiled apologetically and said, "Actually, it's not difficult at all. As long as Mr. Li's handwriting is there, everything can go smoothly."
Li Ruiyun smiled and said: "Master Ding is still thoughtful."
So he wrote a handwritten edict, stamped it with a jade seal, and gave it to Ding Jinzhi.
Ding Jinzhi took it with both hands and turned around.
Ding Jinzhi was indeed very resolute in his work, and he came back as quickly as he left. As soon as he came back, he reported to Li Ruiyun: Princess Huanyu had fled in fear of crime!
"What? Who leaked the news?" Li Ruiyun raised his eyebrows and said angrily.
Ding Jin was speechless.
Taoist priest Bai Yu's strange eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Do you even need to ask? It's most likely He Yuting."
"He-Yu-Ting-" Li Ruiyun murmured and repeated these words, a blood-colored cold light flashed sharply in his eyes, and said faintly: "The father of Mr. Li, now he still has elbows. Turning out is really not a worry!"
"Here comes -" His face suddenly became gloomy, and he told the guards sullenly, "Go and invite Mr. He here."...
