Chapter 150 Throwing Dirty Water on Two People
Inside the palace, outside the imperial study.
Eunuch Gui said to Bai Wei and Ouyang Yi, "Your Highness Prince Yi and General Bai, please wait here."
After saying that, he turned and walked into the imperial study.
Soon, the door of the imperial study opened. Ouyang Ming was standing in the middle with a gentle and casual smile on his face. He waved at the two of them and said, "Ayi, Wei'er, come on in!"
Ouyang Qi and Bai Lian were standing beside him.
The moment Bai Lian saw Bai Wei come in, a hint of pride and mockery flashed in her eyes.
Bai Wei ruined her plan, poisoned her, and forced her to say those words in front of others. Today, she must seek justice for herself.
The moment Ouyang Qi saw Bai Wei, he never took his eyes off her.
Because he saw that Bai Wei was holding Ouyang Yi's hand.
Although the two of them had held hands in front of him last time at the restaurant, and Ouyang Yi had also admitted that he had to be responsible for Bai Wei, he still felt very annoyed when he saw how close they were.
The hand hidden under the sleeve exerted a little force.
Bai Wei led Ouyang Yi to look in the direction of Ouyang Ming before she let go of his hand.
"Your Highness Bai Wei."
"Your brother Ouyang Yi."
They said together: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
After saying this, the two of them bowed together.
Ouyang Ming smiled and walked forward, supporting Ouyang Yi: "Alright, alright, we are all family here, there are no outsiders, Ayi, Wei'er, you don't have to be so polite."
Ouyang Yi followed Ouyang Ming's body, stood up straight, and said with a smile: "Thank you, my royal brother."
Bai Wei also stood up straight, but didn't say anything.
After some friendly greetings, Ouyang Ming finally turned the topic to the disaster: "Wei'er, this disaster is all thanks to you. If you hadn't stabilized the refugees in the first place, there would have been chaos in the capital. Not only did you immediately arrange for the refugees in front of the capital, you even set up a... what was that..."
He deliberately left his words halfway and then looked at Eunuch Gui.
Eunuch Gui replied: "Resettlement site!"
Ouyang Ming said: "Yes, the resettlement site! You have already prepared for the refugees when they arrived at the city gate. You don't know that the displaced villagers at the gate of the capital are praising you, saying that even if you can't fight, you are like Guanyin Bodhisattva who cares about the people and saves them from suffering. I am really proud that Dong Qin has a general like you."
Bai Wei was not stupid and could understand the hidden meaning behind Ouyang Ming's words.
He seemed to be praising him, but in fact he was asking him a question.
Ask her why she reacted immediately, and also indirectly tell her about her current fame to test her reaction.
What's more... He didn't seem to care about the refugees, as if he was relieved to leave the refugees' affairs to them. That's why he deliberately didn't reveal the name of the resettlement site, in order to make people think that he didn't investigate the matter too much, but out of trust, didn't do anything suspicious.
But the fact was, in order for him to get the news as soon as possible, she arranged for him to be a spy who infiltrated the general's mansion to take charge of the resettlement.
There's no way he doesn't know.
His deliberate ignorance proved that his suspicion had reached its peak.
"Your Majesty, I already knew about the disaster near the capital when the refugees arrived there."
As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Qi snorted coldly: "Bai Wei, although you still hold the position of general, you no longer have any soldiers. How did you know about the natural disaster around the capital? Could it be that you secretly trained private soldiers and hid around the capital?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire imperial study instantly became tense.
Training soldiers privately is a capital crime. If the soldiers are trained around the imperial city, it is not something that can be solved with just death. If things go wrong, the entire family may be executed and nine generations of the clan may be implicated.
"It can be seen that His Royal Highness Prince Qi is still very upset about being divorced by this general, which is why he is so anxious to put the blame on me. If this blame can be settled with just two beatings, then I don't mind giving the emperor some face and admitting it, giving His Royal Highness Prince Qi a reason to calm down. However, this blame is too heavy, and I can't bear it!"
Will she admit it if I give her two beatings?
How can it be?
She was just talking.
The purpose was to tell Ouyang Ming in front of him that Ouyang Qi was an absolute idiot, that he had lost the bet, could not accept the reality, and wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge.
As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Qi's face suddenly turned bad: "Bai Wei, I am not seeking revenge for personal gain. This is just a reasonable guess!"
Bai Wei raised her eyebrows: "Oh? A reasonable guess? Then can I also make a reasonable guess that His Royal Highness Prince Qi would rather not have the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion and get involved with a concubine's daughter, and even have an affair without a matchmaker, and do those dirty and despicable things. It's basically that you two are the same kind of people, both of low character."
As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Qi was immediately furious: "Bai Wei, you are so brave!"
Bai Wei just watched quietly, without any sign of cowardice.
Seeing the two men getting on edge, Ouyang Ming immediately said, "That's enough!"
He had called Bai Wei and Ouyang Yi here today for a serious matter, not because of the canceled engagement.
He is an experienced person. He knows that when men and women have unpleasantness or even speak ill of each other over love, these are all manifestations of youthful vigor and should not be made public, nor will they cause any big waves.
Ouyang Qi was so angry: "Father, Bai Wei is just the daughter of a minister..."
Before he finished speaking, Ouyang Yi reached out and protected Bai Wei behind him: "Aqi, the king said that Wei'er will become your imperial aunt. If you have real evidence, bring it out. If you don't, don't frame me."
Ouyang Qi was just angry at first, but when he saw Ouyang Yi protecting Bai Wei, his anger turned into resentment: "Uncle, if General Bai trains troops privately, you will definitely be implicated. Even if she trains troops privately, it will be difficult for her to succeed. But with you, it will be different... The two of you are so eager to get married, is there some huge conspiracy behind this?"
As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Ming narrowed his eyes.
Because this is the issue he cares about most, and it is also the fundamental reason why he didn't want Bai Wei and Ouyang Yi to be together.
Ouyang Yi stood in front of Bai Wei without saying a word, his expression as calm as ever, as if Ouyang Qi's accusation just now was not directed at him, but at someone else.
Seeing this, Ouyang Qi felt even more proud: "Why, the emperor's uncle doesn't dare to speak, but I guessed it right?"
In fact, he knew that there was no sign of private soldier training near the capital, because his secret guards were also secretly raised near the capital. If someone trained soldiers privately, it would be impossible for him not to discover it.
But this did not stop him from throwing dirty water on the two of them. His father was suspicious by nature, and as long as they could not prove their innocence, they would not be able to wait for the imperial decree granting their marriage.
Moreover, my father will restrict Ouyang Yi's personal freedom to a greater extent.
He would never acknowledge the Emperor's uncle or aunt. Bai Wei was simply trying to piss him off by saying they were in love and had a close relationship. He wanted to see who would dare to marry her, a slut that Ouyang Qi no longer wanted, after he had broken them up!
