Chapter 129 Telling the truth
The voice did not come from someone else, but Ouyang Yi.
When Bai Wei heard the voice, her eyes lit up instantly.
It wasn't because he came to rescue her, but because she dared to take action today, it meant that she had already prepared a response plan.
The reason why she was happy about his arrival was that Ouyang Yi was back, which meant that he had completed everything she asked him to help with.
She turned around and saw Ouyang Yi wearing a moon-white robe.
The moon-white robe was embroidered with crane patterns, and the cranes stood leisurely, elegant and noble, just like him. Perhaps because she had prescribed a medicinal bath and foot bath for him before, he rarely wore a heavy cloak today. His originally cold white skin was brighter today, closer to the color of white jade, and more beautiful.
When he said this, the onlookers were all shocked.
"Who is this? He calls himself the king too!"
"I don't know, but she said that this bastard who betrayed General Bai and supported that little whore should call General Bai the Imperial Aunt. That means General Bai will also marry into the royal family, right? Moreover, her generation is higher than his!"
"That's great! This bastard's uncle is a man with good taste!"
"..."
The refugees did not know Ouyang Yi, but Zhang Youwei knew him. Not only did he know him, he even admired him!
He immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness Prince Yi!"
Once when he was still a poor scholar, he met Ouyang Yi, who was only sixteen years old. At that time, Ouyang Yi had just led troops to fight in the war. He went to Beijing to take the imperial examination and encountered bandits. It was Ouyang Yi and his soldiers who rescued him.
From then on, he regarded him as his life goal and vowed that if he could pass the imperial examination and become an official, he would definitely be like him and help more people in need in his own way.
But later he got into trouble and even lost his military power. He also experienced what it meant to be a downfall in the officialdom and gradually became timid and cowardly. Under the imperial power, he became timid and thought twice before doing anything.
When he heard Bai Wei say that she wanted to protect the people of Dongqin today, he thought of him, but he didn't expect that they were actually a couple!
As soon as these words came out, the Shuntianfu yamen runners he brought with him also bowed and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Yi!"
They knelt down, and the refugees came to their senses.
It turned out that the extremely handsome man in front of him was Prince Yi, General Bai's fiancé, and the emperor's uncle.
General Bai was their savior, so General Bai's future husband was also half their savior, so they naturally had to respect him. What's more, General Bai's future husband was able to support General Bai, and he was obviously a good man, so they had to respect him even more!
They simply knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ouyang Yi.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Yi!"
Ouyang Qi was furious when he saw Ouyang Yi appear.
The emperor fined him two years' salary, beat him with thirty sticks, and confined him to solitary confinement for a month, saying that he pushed Ouyang Yi into the lotus pond, making Ouyang Yi's already poor health even weaker.
But now it seems that Ouyang Yi doesn't look weak at all.
He looks better than any of them!
The dissatisfaction in his heart turned into anger in his eyes, but no matter how angry he was, there were so many eyes staring at him, he could only bow respectfully: "Greetings, Uncle Emperor!"
Ouyang Yi smiled slightly: "No need to be polite."
After these words were spoken, those who were paying their respects stood up.
While he was speaking, he was already standing beside Bai Wei: "When I came here just now, I heard Xiao San say that she would be rude to your imperial aunt. I want to know how to be rude to her?"
He had a gentle smile on his face, and there was clearly no focus in his empty eyes, and he was not looking at anyone, but just because of these few words, people inexplicably felt a chill down their spine.
That kind of momentum has nothing to do with emotions and cannot be expressed in words, but it cannot be ignored.
Ouyang Qi finally reacted: "Uncle, Bai Wei is not married to you yet, so she is not my aunt, but she poisoned Lian'er. I just wanted to get the antidote back, so my words were a bit harsh. Why do you have to keep harping on me, uncle?"
His meaning was very clear. Bai Wei had not yet married Ouyang Yi, so she could not be considered her elder. Ouyang Yi could not use this matter to find fault with him.
Ouyang Yi smiled softly, his smile was more beautiful than the sunshine in June: "Xiao San is right. Wei'er has not married me yet, so I shouldn't ask you to treat her with royal etiquette. But since Wei'er attacked the second lady of the Bai family and taught her a lesson, what qualifications do you have to ask?"
When Bai Wei heard this, she wanted to give Ouyang Qi a thumbs up.
It's a clever way to give someone a taste of their own medicine.
Since Ouyang Qi thought that Bai Lian was not yet married to Ouyang Yi, she was not his elder, so he did not need to respect her or be polite to her. Then Ouyang Yi could say that Bai Lian was not yet married to Ouyang Qi, and was still the second daughter of the Bai family. If the eldest sister thought that the daughter of the Bai family was not morally correct, she would discipline her. That was the family affair of the Bai family, and he had no right to intervene!
When Ouyang Qi heard this, he was so angry that he was fuming, but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
At this moment, Bai Lian, who had long been ignored by everyone, finally couldn't help but said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, save me, save me!"
She really couldn't bear it anymore. The feeling as if ants were running all over her body, biting her skin and blood vessels, almost took her life.
Of course she knew how important her skin was, but at this moment, she just couldn't help it. She pushed and pulled her arms hard with her palms just to relieve the itch. Her movements were a little ridiculous, like a monkey performing in the street.
When Ouyang Qi saw Bai Lian's appearance, he felt as if his face was being pressed to the ground and rubbed: "Bai Wei, hand over the antidote, otherwise I will..."
Having said this, he was obviously stuck. Looking at the sword shadow standing next to Ouyang Yi, he paused for several seconds before saying, "Report this matter to my father!"
The last time he attacked Ouyang Yi out of impulse, he was severely punished by his father.
There are quite a few people here now. If a quarrel breaks out, not only will his reputation be damaged, but he will also most likely be at a disadvantage in terms of combat power because of Jianying's presence.
In the end, all he could muster was words like an elementary school student complaining to his parents.
Bai Wei raised her eyebrows, and the look in her eyes, as if she was looking at a mentally retarded person, became even more obvious.
Bai Lian almost collapsed.
Looking for the emperor? What would she look like by the time she could see the emperor?
She really couldn't bear it any longer, not even for a second. Otherwise, she would definitely reach out and scratch her face!
"Eldest sister, please give me the antidote!"
Bai Wei looked at Bai Lian's condition and raised her eyebrows slightly: "This poison is called Heaven's Punishment, and there is no antidote at all."
When Bai Lian heard this, she almost rolled her eyes and fainted. Unfortunately, the excruciating itch made it difficult for her to faint even if she wanted to.
Ouyang Qi couldn't hold back any longer after hearing this: "Bai Wei, you are so vicious that you actually gave your own sister this kind of poison. Do you want her to be unable to hold her head up for the rest of her life?"
She had married into the Qi Palace with a disfigured face, so now she wanted Bai Lian to marry into the Qi Palace with a disfigured face as well? Sure enough, all this was her revenge!
Bai Lian will never be able to hold her head up high for the rest of her life, and Prince Qi’s mansion will also be disgraced.
"Don't be complacent. When I report this to my father, you will pay the price!"
Dong Qin ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety. Although Bai Wei was Bai Lian's eldest sister, she poisoned him in front of everyone. As long as he refused to give in, his father would definitely punish him.
By then, her engagement with Prince Yi might also be cancelled. Thinking about it this way... it's not a bad thing.
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Bai Lian didn't want to leave at all, because she really couldn't bear it anymore. Her arms were bleeding from scratches. Bai Wei said that the scars would leave scars, and she couldn't imagine that if she continued like this, she would become such a monster.
"Eldest sister, save me, please save me, I know you will have a way, right? Save me, save me!"
Bai Wei looked at the person in front of her with cold eyes.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the truth, she would really be happy to see her like this, to avenge her for assassinating herself, framing Bai Ying to frame herself, and almost killing Nannan just now.
"This poison is called Heaven's Punishment because you just concealed the truth and did something immoral that deserves retribution. That's why the poison took effect. So, as long as you tell the truth, the poison will naturally be cured!"
