Chapter 463 The coldness of winter snow(1/2)
However, in Li Xiuyuan's opinion, this way of living would be worse than death.
In his opinion, the only condition for Linghu Kuangyu to survive is to become a true mortal like Su Qingyue.
For a monk like Linghu Kuangyu, I'm afraid no one can accept it.
However, if Linghu Kuangyu's cultivation is not abolished, how can Li Xiuyuan rest assured?
Who knows whether this guy will become like the second prince in a few years, colluding with a certain force, or whether the sect will come back to cause trouble for the dynasty?
He did not dare to gamble with the lives of Nalan Yu, the emperor and others.
Linghu Kuangyu smiled sarcastically to himself and murmured: "Have I become like Mr. Su? I will be imprisoned in the house for the next few days. If someone commits a crime that day, will I be implicated again?"
Even Su Qingyue would not want such a life, let alone Linghu Kuangyu, who has not lost his cultivation yet.
Li Xiuyuan was silent and did not reply to him.
"In that case, why should I bother my family anymore?" Linghu Kuangyu shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "What's the point of living like this to me?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said quietly: "At least you are still alive, and I can only let you live like this!"
Even if the emperor opens his mouth, Li Xiuyuan will stick to his decision, no matter who can change it.
This was also the reason why the left and right prime ministers, Nalan Kunxuan and others did not dare to make decisions for him, and also why Nalanyu invited Li Xiuyuan over overnight.
At present, no one in the dynasty dares to make decisions for the Imperial Master.
Across the iron fence, a faint smile appeared on Linghu Kuangyu's face, and no trace of hatred could be seen.
It's like a gambler who loses the last chip in his hand, with the helplessness and relief smile on his face.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan, he said faintly: "Now that I think about it, when the second prince was kicked off the throne by you, the right minister really wanted to protect us."
"It's funny, I'm already sitting in this position, why am I still unwilling to give in, and why am I still unhappy?"
"Is it really that good to be an emperor? I think Concubine Li lives in panic all day long, so she might as well be her dowager."
Linghu Kuangyu sighed: "It's really not worthwhile to think about it. Not to mention Concubine Li, even Mr. Su became a national master and he didn't really live a comfortable life..."
"As for me..."
Linghu Kuangyu laughed bitterly, burst into tears for a while, and murmured to himself: "I haven't had a peaceful night's sleep since the day she took the throne, from the day the dynasty announced the Queen's accession to the throne."
Li Xiuyuan remained silent. Although he knew that this might not be Linghu Kuangyu's original intention, it had already happened after all.
The deceased had passed away. If he hadn't come back just in time, it would have been very soon before the emperor's family of three would have died at the hands of the empress and Su Qingyue.
At that time, is it possible for him to go to Jiuyou to find King Qin Guang again?
Life cannot be resurrected, so even if we find King Qin Guang, we will be like Wu Xin and Jasmine and let him see what he will look like after reincarnation.
This is not the result he wants.
"There is nothing I can do." Linghu Kuangyu shed tears and looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Because she is my sister! What can I do?"
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan wanted to say that the Queen is my brother, can I abandon him?
Xia Yunlan, who was killed by you, is also my brother. How could I not avenge them? If I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place?
However, he didn't say a word because the scene in front of him shocked him.
Across a cold iron fence, Linghu Kuangyu, who was sitting on a chair, coughed up a mouthful of black blood out of passion and anger.
A mouthful of black blood spurted onto the iron fence three feet in front of Linghu Kuangtai.
Amidst the hissing sound, even the fence made of cold iron emitted slight traces of blue smoke.
Dark blood spurted on the iron fence, with green smoke rising from the side.
Drops of water dripped onto the bluestone slab, and after a while, blue smoke also rose from the stone slab on the ground.
Linghu Benyu opened his mouth, spit out another mouthful of black blood with a loud sound, and stretched out his hand to stop Li Xiuyuan from breaking through the fence.
"Just use my blood to exchange for the remaining innocent people in the Linghu family."
Linghu Kuangyu sat on the chair, his head hanging to the side, but he stubbornly refused to lower his head.
Instead, she said quietly: "I know that the Imperial Master's hands and eyes are all powerful, but I took the most poisonous poison in the world and cut off my heart. I am afraid that the Imperial Master will not be able to save myself."
Linghu Kuangyu, who wanted to die, took poison when Li Xiuyuan and Nalanyu entered the prison.
He cut off his heart at the last moment, in order to use his own death to give his family a way to survive.
If a person is determined to die, even gods may not be able to save him.
Even Li Xiuyuan understood this, looking at everything in front of him, his heart was still blank.
Just like what Linghu Kuangyu said, he was willing to wash away his blood with his own death in exchange for a way for those innocent people to live.
He was gambling, gambling with his own life, that the Imperial Master and the Emperor would let the Linghu family survive. Although he also knew that according to the crime of conspiracy, no one in the Linghu family would be able to survive.
Gently, Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "Why bother?"
"I just thought...how the Imperial Master would treat the old woman, orphans and widows in my family... In the next life, I will work as a cow and horse again to repay the Imperial Master for not killing me."
Linghu Kuangyu's body slid down a little, so that his proud head would not fall, and he could still look at the Imperial Master outside the iron fence quietly.
Just like what Linghu Kuangyu said, even if Linghu Kuangyu took the unparalleled poison and cut off his heart...
As long as he still has breath, Li Xiuyuan can save him.
However, Li Xiuyuan couldn't do it.
The lives of Xia Yunlan and nearly a hundred people hung above his head. Although he was not a man who killed indiscriminately, he could not ignore the lives that had already died.
Compared with Linghu Kuangyu in front of them, they are even more innocent!
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan's face was covered with a thick layer of frost.
Looking at Linghu Kuangyu, he said quietly: "Then, let them go to southern Xinjiang..."
Exiled to three towns in southern Xinjiang, this was Li Xiuyuan's compassion for Linghu Kuangyu and his family, although he was risking the trouble of a son of the Linghu family coming to fight the emperor a few years later.
But so what? A gentleman is magnanimous and magnanimous. He is born in heaven and earth. If something happens, he will come to me.
Linghu Kuangyu raised his head vigorously, looked at Li Xiuyuan with a grateful look, and coughed up another mouthful of black blood.
He stretched out his hand to wipe off the blood stains on his body, but put it down feebly.
He sighed, looked at Li Xiuyuan who had been silent, and said quietly: "I'm tired, I'll go back."
There was a violent ups and downs in his chest, Linghu Kuangyu stared at Li Xiuyuan outside the threshold with bright eyes, and stretched out his hands like a pedestrian in the dark night wanting to embrace a ray of light in the distance.
He opened his mouth forcefully, but he vomited out a pool of black blood with a pop, and his proud head finally fell to the side weakly.
A pair of unwilling eyes stared straight at a stone slab on the prison floor, as if to say, how could my dignified uncle from the former dynasty die in the imperial prison.
It was too cold in the late winter night, and Li Xiuyuan obviously didn't like this cold atmosphere.
So, Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting outside the prison, waved his hand, and a phoenix fire flew into the prison and fell on Linghu Kuangyu.
A golden flame burned.
At the moment, he will neither feel sad about the death of his opponent nor feel happy about killing an enemy.
Because this is the Five Realms, and I am just a passerby.
This is the human world. He was born, grew up, practiced, and grew up here. This is his home.
He didn't want his home to turn into a barren wasteland, so he wanted to make some changes while there was still time.
Smiling faintly, Li Xiuyuan only felt that the guy in front of him was a little funny.
A dying man, an sworn enemy, actually abandoned his seemingly innocent family to himself.
Are you sure that they are all innocent? They have not enjoyed the glory and wealth brought by your rebellion?
When Li Fei ascended the throne and became the Queen of the Five Realms, they didn't cheer?
To be honest, in Li Xiuyuan's eyes, there is no innocent person!
Gently, Nalanyu came over carrying a lantern, looking at the flames burning in the prison, his mouth opened wide for a long time and he couldn't close it.
No matter how smart he was, he never expected such a result.
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said quietly: "Since he chose death, I will help him. If his family is gone, what is he doing with a useless body?"
Nalanyu nodded and replied: "That's true!"
"The original plan remains unchanged. Please tell the emperor, brother, that the Linghu family, old and weak, will be sent to three towns in southern Xinjiang. The third generation will not be allowed to enter the officialdom."
Looking at the flames that were gradually extinguishing in front of him, Li Xiuyuan continued: "Half of the property confiscated by the Linghu family will be confiscated, and the rest should be left to them to survive."
After thinking about it, Li Xiuyuan did not end the livelihood of the Linghu family. After all, in his opinion, the child was innocent.
As for the old man, haha.
Nalan Yu nodded, looked at him and asked: "Do you want to go see the emperor? He is still in the study right now, and my old man is also there."
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan flicked the non-existent dust on his body and said softly: "The murderous aura in my body will no longer go away."
After saying this, he stood up and walked out the door.
After thinking for a while, he added: "Then the space ring on his body should be sent back to the Linghu family. It means that he knew that he had sinned deeply and cut off his heart in the sky prison."
To be continued...
