Chapter four hundred and eighty fourth another secret
Die alone?
No, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible.
He didn't want to stay in this hellish place for a moment, let alone die alone here.
Not only are there a lot of mosquitoes in summer, but this ghost place is actually airtight. At night, let’s not talk about whether to sleep or not, but whether to sleep at all.
Just like he has two hands, one hand is used to swat mosquitoes, and the other hand is used to fan the wind. Even if he uses both hands and feet, he is too busy to fall asleep.
When Emperor Qianxi came, Ling Yun was the happiest in the Heavenly Prison. This was because of the stuffy heat. As soon as Emperor Qianxi stepped in, he would bring in the fan.
He was in front of Emperor Qianxi, and a little cool breeze blew gently, refreshing him and making him feel comfortable. But if he waited for Emperor Qianxi to leave, no matter whether it was day or night, Ling Yun would be in agony.
After thinking about it again and again, if he hesitated on this matter and continued to disobey orders and be disrespectful, he would definitely arouse the wrath of Emperor Qianxi, so Ling Yun suddenly had a whim and said with hope, "Your Majesty, I wonder if I can have a third choice?"
Emperor Qianxi was stunned, looked at him in astonishment, and muttered involuntarily, "The third option?"
Ling Yun's words shocked Emperor Qianxi so much that he thought that for this bastard boy, he would betroth his most beloved daughter, Princess Yucheng, to him.
Although there were selfish motives that bound him, in the final analysis, this marriage was a high-profile matter, but Emperor Qianxi never expected that this bastard would reject his good intentions.
Before Emperor Qianxi had time to digest the sudden rejection, he actually heard his exaggerated remarks and tried to ask for a third option from him.
Could it be that his daughter, the princess of the Daqian Dynasty, is no better than the fiancée he calls?
Not to mention, in order for Ling Yun to accept it, he had already made concessions, allowing him to take his fiancée as his concubine.
Just think, who can do this?
But this bastard boy didn't know the bounds of heaven and earth, and challenged his limits one after another. Emperor Qianxi, who was already furious, became even more angry, and finally reached the critical point of a volcanic eruption.
So much so that he suppressed his voice and yelled loudly, "You bastard, is my daughter, the princess of the Daqian Dynasty not as good as the fiancée you call me?"
Ling Yun pursed his lips and wanted to explain that this was not his original intention, but Emperor Qianxi did not give him a chance and directly warned, "I hope you remember what your situation is at this time, and I also hope you can know, How on earth did the ministers outside the palace impeach you?"
After scolding, Emperor Qianxi began to play the emotional card, with a heartbroken expression on his face, and said in grief, "Do you know that I have been thinking hard before I came up with such a way to save you? Not only do you not appreciate it, You actually rejected me outright, you said you... are simply unreasonable!"
Emperor Qianxi's words made Ling Yun speechless. His eyes kept wandering, wondering how true or false these words were.
But Emperor Qianxi was such a fine person, and his city was so deep that it was bottomless. With his simple cultivation, he could not even detect the slightest bit of fraud.
Taking advantage of the victory, Emperor Qianxi continued to speak earnestly, "Do you know what the hundreds of memorials on my imperial desk in recent times are about? I tell you, they are all about memorials to accuse you of your crimes. I accept it. It took a lot of pressure to suppress it, and then I thought hard before I came up with a way to save your life. Who knew you...you were so ignorant that you refused my proposal without even thinking about it. It was a waste of my time. Well intentioned.”
At the end of the sentence, Emperor Qianxi looked moved and pretended to ask, "What do you think the crime should be?"
After listening to Emperor Qianxi's words, Ling Yun had mixed feelings.
It is said that although Emperor Qianxi was aggressive, in the final analysis, he was still thinking about him. Even if he was determined and hard-hearted, facing someone who treated him sincerely, he felt unspeakable guilt in his heart.
But being grateful is one thing, and sending himself out is another. Let's not say that he has no emotional foundation with Princess Yucheng. Even if he does, he doesn't want to be titled Prince Consort for the rest of his life. What's even more terrifying is that he has no relationship with Princess Yucheng. Yes, if he marries the princess, he is afraid that he will live in the capital for the rest of his life, and he will be hampered in everything he does when he moves or wants to do other things.
After thinking about it for a while, he realized that Emperor Qianxi was willing to accept the soft and not the hard, and all he had to do was to play the emotional card, to be enlightened by emotion, and to act rationally, in the hope that Emperor Qianxi would be successful in this way.
Thinking of this, Ling Yun began to brew emotions in his heart. Suddenly, a look of grievance and pitifulness appeared on his face, until he choked up and said, "I know your Majesty's great love for me. This love will never be forgotten in my life. I will never forget it." It’s not that I don’t want to marry Princess Yucheng, but I do have a reason for it.”
Ling Yun spoke sincerely and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, please allow me to express my worries. One of them is that my ancestors were born in peasant families and have a humble status. However, I am fortunate enough to be valued by your majesty and selected as the number one scholar, so that I can honor my ancestors."
Lingyundian said this out of his personal identity, and at the same time, he was grateful to Emperor Qianxi. Without him, he would not have been able to become the number one scholar, nor would he have been able to honor his ancestors.
"Second: Both the parents, elders and sisters in the family are ordinary people. Everything they say and do is too casual. There is still a shortage of rules and etiquette. If the minister marries Princess Yucheng, I am afraid that he will inadvertently conflict with each other. Princess, this is really disrespectful. Even if Your Majesty and the Princess don't care, as their relatives, they will definitely be resentful or have trouble sleeping and eating..."
These words reveal the way the Ling family lives, which is leisurely and casual. If they marry a princess, they may not dare to interact with each other...
"Four years ago, when I was just a civil servant, I made a lifelong love with my fiancée. Seeing that the day of marriage is approaching, if...if one day, news suddenly comes out that I want to marry a princess, I am afraid of my miserable life. My fiancée cannot accept the news and will do something unimaginable..."
Speaking of excitement, Ling Yun rubbed his eyes vigorously until they turned red. Coupled with the fact that he couldn't sleep well in this damn place, his eyes were red and bloodshot. At the same time, he did not forget to squeeze his eyes hard to make them red. Squeezing out tears, he wanted to win the sympathy of Emperor Qianxi.
Finally, Ling Yun's eyes were firm and he said sincerely, "The above are all my concerns. Therefore, I sincerely beg your Majesty to show mercy."
Emperor Qianxi stared at him for a long time with bright eyes. Then he suddenly turned around, picked up the tea cup on the coffee table, and slowly scratched the tea lid. Gradually, his expression began to become serious, and the expression on his face began to solidify.
She took a sip of tea, turned around and glared at him, and said solemnly, "Okay... In that case, you have your reasons, and I am not the kind of arbitrary and unreasonable person, but..."
Emperor Qianxi stared at Ling Yun and said meaningfully, "But until this matter is resolved, even if I intend to protect you, I can only protect you from death. If you want to get out of here, it depends on your own ability."
Ling Yun did not believe that Emperor Qianxi could not protect him, but the implication of Emperor Qianxi's words was that he gave him the choice to go out, but he did not cherish it. Since he did not cherish it, there was nothing he could do.
Therefore, Emperor Qianxi's intention was to let him continue to live here.
As for the date of departure, he did not say clearly, which means it is far away.
Ling Yun naturally didn't want to stay here, even for just a minute.
Of course, it doesn't mean that he can't bear the hardship. After all, no matter in this life or in the previous life, he was born in hardship. No matter what kind of environment, he can grit his teeth and persevere.
But after so many years of pampering, he really didn't want to stay in a place like this.
There is a saying that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Ling Yun was in this situation, so even if he could grit his teeth and persist, he was resisting in his heart.
Therefore, Ling Yun cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, don't you really have a third option?"
Perhaps because of his refusal, Emperor Qianxi looked at him with a somewhat cold gaze, and said expressionlessly, "If you want to bargain with me, show some real skills, otherwise I will fulfill the wishes of the ministers and send you Ask Zhan, what do you think?"
If he disagreed with me, he would use the knife. Ling Yun couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and said quickly, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please calm down. I... I know your guilt."
Emperor Qianxi snorted coldly and said angrily, "Humph~ Since you have the guts to refute my good intentions, then you can reap the consequences! I don't care about this matter."
Facing the angry Emperor Qianxi, Ling Yun swallowed coldly, feeling a little inexplicably nervous. However, no matter how nervous he was, he would take advantage of Emperor Qianxi's presence to fight for the opportunity for himself to get out.
Otherwise, no one can be sure whether he will be here after he refutes Emperor Qianxi's good intentions and waits for him to leave.
Whether Master Li Chengyou can work and rescue him is also an unsolved mystery.
So, after thinking about it, I still have to rely on myself to save everything.
So, with an uneasy heart, Ling Yun secretly glanced at Emperor Qianxi and found that he was quite calm. Then he said cautiously, "This... Your Majesty, if... If Your Majesty asks me to investigate this matter, I have enough evidence to prove it." My innocence..."
"What did you say?"
In an instant, Emperor Qianxi's eyes were sharp, a cold light suddenly appeared, anger was spraying from both sides of his nose, and his eyes were like torches, staring at him.
Faced with Emperor Qianxi's sudden anger, Ling Yun was instantly shocked and confused. He didn't know what he said wrongly.
He clearly remembered that he just said that there was a way to prove his innocence. Why did Emperor Qianxi become so angry?
Is there any hidden secret in this?
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I mean, I have a way to prove it..."
Ling Yun had a solemn look on his face and wanted to repeat what he just said. Unexpectedly, before Emperor Qianxi finished speaking, Emperor Qianxi suddenly shouted, "Shut up~"
Ling Yun, Xiao Lizi, and all the eunuchs all knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
At this time, Ling Yun felt extremely puzzled. Thinking that he just said that he could prove his innocence, why was Emperor Qianxi so angry for no reason?
Confirming the reason for Emperor Qianxi's anger again, at this moment, Ling Yun was extremely sure that there was indeed a hidden reason why he was imprisoned.
