Zhongli Mingye chased all the way here. "Chu Yu, go cut off his retreat!"
"Send people to keep watch on the waterway!"
"Yes!"
Ouyang Jinsè, if you dare to touch my wife, I will surely tear you to pieces! "With such arrangements, he'll surely have no way out..."
Zhong Yuanliu rushed into the military tent in a hurry. "Your Highness, your subordinate earlier tracked down Ouyang Jinsè's whereabouts..." A few days ago, he was sent by Song Jǐnyú to check the Golden Water Palace.
He found that the previously sealed - off Golden Water Palace actually showed signs of activity.
"Does he want to take Jǐnyú back to the Golden Water Palace?" Zhongli Mingye knew that Ouyang Jinsè's obsession with Song Jǐnyú was no less than his own.
He pondered for a moment. "Deploy more people on the waterway!" Floating downstream along the Min River is the nearest and fastest route.
The Golden Water Palace. Who would have thought that this sealed - off place might be the perfect hiding spot.
A sarcastic smile played on his lips. Ouyang Jinsè! If you truly love Jǐnyú, don't hurt a single hair on her head!
At this moment, Ouyang Jinsè was still in the manor. "This one is too tacky!"
"That one isn't elegant enough. How could it be worthy of her?"
"No, no..." At this moment, he himself didn't understand why he was so particular about a hairpin. Song Jǐnyú watched him, feeling both heartache and helplessness.
Ask the world what love is, it makes people willing to live and die for it.
If not for her, perhaps Ouyang Jinsè would still be that promising young master of the Golden Water Palace, able to dominate the martial world and lead a happy life.
It's a pity that there were too many hatreds between them.
Finally, he selected a ruby hairpin. "This hairpin suits you perfectly." Ouyang Jinsè presented it to Song Jǐnyú like a treasure, holding it in both hands.
Looking at the hairpin, which was exactly the same style as the one Zhongli Mingye had given her on the day of her coming - of - age ceremony. Although the quality of the gemstone was not as good as that one,
yet... Song Jǐnyú sighed. Unable to bear the gradual dimming of his eyes, she took it with her slender hand and neatly coiled up her hair.
After putting it on, it immediately shone brightly.
With the hairstyle of her teenage years, Ouyang Jinsè was a bit dazed. It was as if they had returned to the past, happily frolicking in the mountain streams.
He slowly knelt down beside her and gently lifted her charming face. Just as he was about to kiss her, Song Jǐnyú's eyes flickered and she opened the ring in her hand.
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Jinsè stopped. "Yú'er, you're still as smart as before."
"Making me choose a hairpin for you was just to buy time, wasn't it?" He lifted her delicate chin playfully. "I've long experienced the power of this ring!"
"..." Song Jǐnyú sighed and let out a soft laugh. "Jǐnsè, things are really different now... You're so on guard against me now..."
"Is it because you don't trust me?"
"Ha..."
He reached out to tap her nose, but she dodged. "It's not that I don't trust you. I..."
"Once you completely belong to me... the trust will come!"
"We'll set off early tomorrow morning. The scenery on the Min River in autumn is the most beautiful!" After saying that, he reached out his hand to signal Song Jǐnyú.
It seemed that Ouyang Jinsè was really no longer the person he used to be. Song Jǐnyú smiled bitterly and handed over the ring in her hand.
Then she closed her eyes and refused to pay any more attention to him. The ruby hairpin, though still in her hair, seemed to lose some of its luster.
His face darkened. He... Song Jǐnyú had personally felt his pulse. Although his body still had the pure yang energy of a man, his appearance had truly changed into that of a woman.
How much suffering had he endured?
Although Song Jǐnyú hated Ouyang Jinsè for killing Yàn Fēi, seeing a man go through such a strange experience now,
it really seemed like a great retribution.
Concubine Qin sneaked up to the emperor. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The emperor opened his swollen eyes. "Wh... what is it?"
She knelt in front of him. "Please make Wén Yào the crown prince!"
"If Wén Yào becomes the crown prince, your concubine will surely serve you well... Now the Prince of Yù is really hateful!"
"He has sealed off the palace! No one is allowed to enter or leave... Your concubine... thought of getting your imperial edict to escape from the palace."
"Humph..." The emperor looked at her mockingly. This stupid woman! Even he couldn't move freely now. Did she really want to die quickly? He knew Zhongli Mingye very well. At present, Concubine Shū was missing. If anything happened to her,
he was afraid that Zhongli Mingye would really do something inhumane.
He looked at Concubine Qin coldly and motioned for her to come closer. Seeing that she was still holding Wén Yào in her arms. People said that the astrological signs were perfectly in line with this child, but now he looked like a fool!
Concubine Qin thought she had gotten the emperor's approval and quickly stepped forward. Unexpectedly, the emperor used all his strength to grab her neck.
"You really... deserve to die!" With all his might, he strangled Concubine Qin to death. The little prince was so frightened that he just lay on the ground,
not even making a sound!
Lián Luò heard the noise and hurriedly rushed in with the maids. They dragged Concubine Qin out. The emperor coughed for a long time before he recovered.
"Execute... the little prince!" Lián Luò couldn't believe it. The little prince was the emperor's own son, but she just nodded in agreement and decided to wait for the Prince of Yù to come back before making a decision.
But that night, the little prince had a high fever. Due to the chaos in the palace, he didn't receive timely treatment and died of excessive fright that night.
Hearing the news, Zhongli Mingye was completely disappointed in the emperor! He was really a man who didn't care about any feelings. If the emperor hadn't been so suspicious, Concubine Shū and Song Jǐnyú wouldn't have been kidnapped by villains.
He closed his eyes and made up his mind. "Father Emperor is deeply worried. From now on, he will go to the Fuling Palace to recuperate."
With just one sentence, the emperor was sent to the Fuling Palace. On the surface, it was for recuperation. Any discerning person knew that the emperor had lost his power.
None of the court officials dared to object. Now, all the important positions in the court were held by Zhongli Mingye's people. Sòng Qínzhōu was in charge of the overall situation of the court. He was the father - in - law of the Prince of Yù.
Stepping onto the boat, Song Jǐnyú's body swayed slightly. Ouyang Jinsè quickly supported her. Their eyes met, but they didn't say a word.
The fishing boat smelled fishy. Zhongli Chéngzé barely opened his swollen eyes. These days, he didn't dare to be rude to Song Jǐnyú anymore.
Because every time he wanted to insult her, he would get a beating from Ouyang Jinsè. "If you weren't still a bit useful, I would have killed you long ago!"
"Humph... All for a woman... You've made yourself look like a ghost!" Every time he thought about the lewd thoughts he had because of this body, Zhongli Chéngzé couldn't help feeling disgusted!
Ouyang Jinsè said coldly, "I crawled out of that purgatory just for her!" For the obsession of so many years.
Song Jǐnyú sighed. "I've already said... Between us... there's the hatred of my mother's death and Yàn Fēi's death."
Looking at him, she said, "How can we be together?"
Ouyang Jinsè didn't believe it. He grabbed her with both hands. "Sooner or later, you'll forget!"
"In the future, I'll treat you well, so well that you'll forget all these hatreds!" His crazy tone made Song Jǐnyú a bit overwhelmed.
She slapped him across the face. "Calm down!"
Song Jǐnyú's eyes were red. She was really tired. Thinking of Zhongli Mingye's tenderness and now looking at Ouyang Jinsè's paranoia, she knew very well that
she would never be able to love him!
