Tianxiao gang leader Li Ruiyun made a sudden attack without even saying hello in advance, leaving everyone at a loss and had no choice but to step forward to greet them.
"I haven't been here for several days. Is there anything unusual here?" Ding Jinzhiruo glanced at his son casually.
Ding Jiying's eyes were a little wandering, and he lowered his head and said, "No."
"That's good. If you find any accidents, you must report them in time. You must be on high alert in extraordinary times and don't make any mistakes." Ding Jinzhi taught his son seriously.
"Yes, my child understands." Ding Jiying agreed repeatedly; then he frowned slightly, showing his confusion just right, "Dad, didn't you accompany Young Master Li to inspect the military situation outside the city these days? Why did you suddenly come back? What’s up?”…
——The main reason is that they didn’t even say hello, they came in a hurry, and we were not mentally prepared at all.
The corners of Ding Jinzhi's mouth twitched and he said nothing, thinking to himself: "I don't know why. This Mr. Li is acting like a ghost all day long. Who can guess his thoughts?"
Ding Jinzhi was complaining in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. At this time, Li Ruiyun took over the conversation from the side, "The matter is done, and there is nothing to do if I stay outside, so I came back. Mainly because I still miss the emperor in my heart. I haven't had time to come here for several days - how are you, Your Majesty, how have you been these past two days, don't you feel any particular discomfort?"
When he said this, the jest in his eyes was like a sharp knife, cutting into the emperor's heart.
Looking at the other party's teasing eyes, Zhao Yu felt as if his heart had been drained, and he no longer felt pain. After a moment of silence, he reluctantly spoke, with a flat voice without any emotion, "Thank you, Gang Leader Li, for your concern. Li The gang leader has been thinking about me so much all day long, I must live well no matter what!"
"The emperor is the emperor after all, and his psychological strength is indeed much higher than that of ordinary people! However, no matter how resolute the emperor's attitude is, it may not be able to withstand the strength of the calming pill - how about it, so many days have passed, this kind of Have you ever fully experienced the artistic conception of a panacea that can come back a thousand times? How does it feel? Do you want to continue to experience it? Hahaha..."
As he spoke, Li Ruiyun laughed evilly, his voice touching his heart, and a kind of coldness that penetrated the bone marrow seeped out from the inside.
"Li Ruiyun——" The string in the emperor's mind seemed to be broken. Under the raging rage of extreme anger and shame, he could hardly control his emotions and could only let the anger in his heart burn wildly.
Not only the emperor, but also Li Ruiyun's words deeply stimulated the emotions of the man standing behind the emperor.
How can I, a minister, bear it when I see my monarch being humiliated? What's more, the person right next to him is his most hated enemy No. 1! Seeing Li Ruiyun's wanton and flamboyant look, Ling Yun wanted to raise his hand and slap him.
However, although the hatred was raging in his heart, his mind was very calm. He knew that he could not do this.
"Be patient, be patient..." He said to himself over and over again in his mind.
He forced himself to continue standing where he was, just watching expressionlessly, without even blinking.
"Your Majesty, please be patient." Naturally, Li Ruiyun didn't know that someone on the opposite side was staring at him with eager eyes and wanted to skin him to vent his anger, so he still spoke unfinished words in a calm manner.
"As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. If we want to get rid of this deadly poison, there is only one way, and that is to agree to our request. Now that we have reached this point, hasn't the emperor figured it out yet?"
"..." The emperor's face was tense and he said nothing.
Li Ruiyun ignored the other party's obscure expression and continued unhurriedly: "The emperor is a wise and wise monarch, and he naturally knows how to judge the situation; although there are many things in the world that are difficult to let go of, but compared to what is at stake in his own life, which one is more important? , I think the emperor should know the difference clearly! In fact, if you think about it carefully, the most important thing is to protect yourself first - just imagine, if a person loses his own life, what else can he talk about? "
"Li Ruiyun, what do you mean by this? Are you putting yourself in my shoes, or are you trying to threaten me at all costs?" The emperor's eyes were full of scarlet, and he said each word through his teeth.
"The Emperor can understand whatever he wants!" Li Ruiyun said with an indifferent smile, but there was a hint of sharpness in his narrow eyes, "I will ask one last time now whether the Emperor agrees to that matter or not. promise?"
The emperor didn't speak. He slowly raised his eyes and met the other person's eyes. He was horrified to find that the other person's eyes were like knives, revealing an aura of murderous intent that could not be concealed.
His body trembled involuntarily, his whole body tensed up, and his breathing seemed to have stopped at that moment.
The other party has already given an ultimatum, if he continues to grit his teeth and carry on...
He subconsciously avoided the other party's fierce eyes, and his eyes wandered to the faces of Ding Jiying and Zheng Yifei next to him.
The two of them had earth-colored faces at this time, and a layer of dense cold sweat oozed out on their foreheads. Their fearful eyes moved nervously, consciously or unconsciously reminding him of the person standing calmly behind him.
That man is very close to Li Ruiyun - Your Majesty, please don't let Li Ruiyun get any clues, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous, I don't dare to think about it, I really don't dare to think about it!
Thinking about the thing that I just agreed with Ling Yun here, thinking about the suffocating tense situation in front of me, thinking about my current extremely unfavorable situation, thinking about the painful abuse that I have endured these days... …
"Okay, I...promise you..." The emperor bit his lips hard and spoke with difficulty.
"Is this true?..." Li Ruiyun asked, still a little worried.
Zhao Yu's eyes seemed to be shining, and his whole body was trying his best to suppress the shaking, and he finally nodded helplessly.
"Okay! The Emperor is indeed wise and decisive, and finally made a wise decision!..." Li Ruiyun's bright eyes were dancing with ecstatic light, and he turned around and told Ding Jinzhi next to him, "Master Ding, please write and serve immediately!"
Ding Jinzhi responded hurriedly, took out from his sleeve the draft of the brocade book that was almost broken and presented it to Prince Guangling, and ordered the attendants around him to spread the yellow silk brocade on the desk and lay it aside. The pen and ink.
Now the arrow is on the string and must be fired. Looking at the pair of scorching eyes focused on him that could almost emit flames, the emperor frowned slightly, and his entire face showed a complex look that was difficult to identify.
Gradually everything calmed down. He raised his head and let out a breath. He took two steps forward to the desk, picked up his pen and started writing.
The pen moved like a dragon without stopping, and in a moment the imperial edict to recall Prince Guangling was completed in one go.
Ling Yun watched the scenes happening in front of him with cold eyes. The tiger's mouth hanging on his side tightened little by little, and his nails dug deeply into the flesh of his palm, but he felt no pain at all...
Li Ruiyun stared at the entire process of the emperor transcribing the imperial edict from beginning to end, his eyes unblinking, as if he was afraid of missing any important detail. Now that he saw that the emperor's imperial edict was finally finished, his hanging heart finally returned to his stomach.
Ding Jin stepped forward and carefully picked up the imperial edict. He read it carefully from beginning to end and made sure that there was nothing wrong with it. Then he held it with both hands and handed it to Li Ruiyun respectfully.
Li Ruiyun took the imperial edict and browsed it hastily, with a bright smile on his face, "Is this right? If I had known that this would be the result, why would the emperor be so stubborn in the first place? Alas, he has suffered so much in vain, it's really It shouldn’t be!
"But having said that, the Emperor is the Emperor after all, and his mind is clear. He can understand current affairs and make the right choices at critical moments, but he is not like your stubborn and obsessed minister..."
——Are you talking about me? Ling Yun on the side rolled his eyes almost invisible.
"Stop talking nonsense," the emperor said with cold black eyes, the color on his face almost disappeared, "I have finished what I promised you, Li Ruiyun, where is the antidote you promised me?"...
