Everyone who has been to the Peacock Palace was shocked by Ouyang Shishi's words.
Dawu's new emperor is actually in the Peacock Palace. This news is simply too shocking.
Almost none of them had ever seen the new Emperor Dawu with their own eyes. Being lucky enough to see Princess Xile was enough for them to brag about for a while.
If you meet the emperor, it is simply a matter of ancestral virtue.
It's a pity that they didn't find out where the new emperor was at all?
But Ouyang Shishi would not lie. Admitting this matter would undoubtedly be extremely detrimental to her.
The most important thing is that Ouyang Shishi actually said that the new emperor had already met them.
For a time, everyone who had been to the Maurya Palace was thinking about it. There should be nothing disrespectful about last night, right?
The two heads of the family, Li Dayuan and Zhao De, also looked at their sons in unison, with nervousness in their eyes. It was hard to say whether this kind of thing was a good thing or a bad thing.
If he performs well enough and can be noticed by the new emperor, it will be a good thing.
But if you do something asshole, that would be terrible.
Being stared at by their father like this, both Li Yindi and Zhao Kuan looked a little unnatural and felt guilty.
At the very beginning, Li Yindi went back on his word and seemed a bit petty.
And Zhao Kuan even stabbed his allies in the back during the fight, which is really not what a gentleman would do.
But the two of them did not dare to tell the truth. They both smiled angrily and said that there was nothing excessive.
Li Dayuan and Zhao De also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
Soon, Li Dajuan thought of another thing and said excitedly: "So, the matter between my son and Princess Xile has already been tacitly approved by His Majesty the new emperor?"
It’s no wonder that Li Dazhu was so excited. Others also felt that what Li Dazhu said might make sense.
Even Liu Baichuan's face turned a little ugly unconsciously. If he had known this earlier, he would not have targeted the Li family and his son just now.
The Zhao family's father and son looked at it with some envy, and their moods were a little complicated. It was a pity that they had missed the consort of the Peacock Palace.
Now it seems that it is a certainty that the Li family father and son will become royal relatives.
Compared with the complicated moods of these people, everyone in the Ouyang family looked worried at this moment.
They don't care what happens in the Peacock Palace, they only care about how Ouyang Shishi can escape?
After Ouyang Shishi confessed, Ouyang Shui's heart sank to the bottom.
Yan Miao didn't care how surprised the others were, and just asked Ouyang Shishi: "Are you convinced that I'm arresting you?"
Ouyang Shishi didn't panic much, didn't hesitate much, and still nodded silently.
But suddenly he said with a serious face: "It's true that I am a member of the Guiyuan Sect, but no one in the Ouyang family knows it, so what I do has nothing to do with the Ouyang family. I will go with you, but you are not allowed to do it again.
It embarrasses other people in the Ouyang family."
"No!" Ouyang Shu suddenly became anxious, and other people in the Ouyang family also kept trying to dissuade him.
Wu Yuan saw everyone in the Ouyang family, even the somewhat bastard Ouyang Danli, looked at Ouyang Shishi anxiously and with concern.
I have to say that in this era, Wu Yuan was quite surprised that a family could have such cohesion.
You know, although these aristocratic families cannot be compared with the cruel struggles within the royal family, most of them also have many conflicts within them.
It is indeed rare for a family like the Ouyang family to work together as one.
These people sincerely care about Ouyang Shishi. This can be seen from the fact that Yan Miao arrested everyone in the Ouyang family just now and no one revealed the location of Ouyang Shishi. They really want to
To protect Ouyang Shishi.
When other people saw that Ouyang Shishi was really going to be arrested, they all returned to their roles. They could not let Ouyang Shishi be taken away like this.
On the one hand, I want to make good friends with the Ouyang family, but I also want to take this opportunity to have a real confrontation with the royal family.
In the past, there was a strict investigation into people selling and buying official positions, and in the back, there were officers and soldiers arresting people everywhere. No one was sure whether their own home would be the next target of the attack.
Some smart people have noticed that a series of actions taken by the new emperor after he came to power seemed to be for the purpose of making money.
This is preparing for war, so they frequently operate on families like them.
Therefore, this time, they must unite and never let the court do whatever they want.
The law does not punish the public. The real purpose of these people gathering together is to express their position. They just hope that the new emperor can restrain himself.
So seeing Ouyang Shishi being taken away, these people formed a united front filled with righteous indignation.
Yan Miao's eyes were gloomy, "Do you really want to rebel?"
Liu Baichuan immediately stood up with other veterans and said: "The assassination of the new emperor cannot be concluded like this. I and others also want to hear from Ouyang Shishi. Does she have any thoughts on assassinating the new emperor?"
At this time, Ouyang Shu also seized the opportunity and hurriedly said to Ouyang Shishi: "Daughter, please speak quickly!"
Ouyang Shishi's heart trembled, she bit the corner of her mouth, and finally spoke under the urging of Ouyang Shu and others: "I have never thought about assassinating the new emperor, but if you want to charge me with assassination, Shishi can't.
You can talk."
Although Ouyang Shishi's tone was gentle, there was also a hint of stubbornness and dissatisfaction.
But with Ouyang Shishi's words, Liu Baichuan and others had a reason to use the topic.
Immediately, Yan Miao was verbally criticized again, and Yan Miao also had a headache and irritability.
At this moment, Wu Yuan touched Murong Haitang and signaled that Murong Haitang could get down to business.
Murong Haitang was a little funny. If Wu Yuan didn't remind her, she would have almost forgotten the real thing.
So when everyone was trying to dissuade Yan Miao, Murong Haitang came to Ouyang Shu and said, "Master Ouyang, I'm here today, and I have one more thing I want to talk to you about."
Ouyang Shu was stunned, but his eyes were still full of vigilance, "What's the matter?"
"Miss Ouyang asked for a son-in-law at the Peacock Palace yesterday. I wonder if you, Mr. Ouyang, are clear about it?"
Of course Ouyang Shu also heard about this matter.
But right now, he has no time to care about this matter.
"What do you mean when Lord Shangshu asks about this?"
"Oh, it just so happens that the scholar is familiar with me, so he specially invited me to be a matchmaker. I have brought the betrothal gift, so I would like to hear your opinion on this matter, Mr. Ouyang. If there is no problem, I can bring them together today.
Their marriage is settled."
Murong Haitang said with a smile.
"What did you say?" Ouyang Shu looked at Murong Haitang in shock and anger.
At this time, other people in the yard suddenly became quiet, and they were also looking at Murong Haitang in dumbfounded eyes.
When did it happen that you, Murong Haitang, came here to talk about matchmaking?
