Ouyang Fu pondered whether he should say that he didn't know how he got there and woke up there? He and Xi Wu were not close, and he was just pretending to be nice to him in order to return to China?
That's a good reason; it'll definitely appease the Emperor.
Xi Wujue was frozen again. He was in excruciating pain all over his body, but unfortunately, these superficial injuries were not fatal.
"Xu Liang, have you really rebelled? Don't you care whether your crown prince lives or dies?"
Xi Wujue still couldn't believe it. Had the old emperor really given up on Ouyang Zhen? His father had said before that Ouyang Fu was utterly useless, and that if Ouyang Zhen had been there, the other side could have remained powerful for decades longer.
What do you think?
Xu Liang used his whip to lift Xi Wujue's chin, his eyes icy cold: "I think you're just so-so in your emperor's eyes. We've already arrested you, and he still dares to use a letter to scheme against the crown prince?"
Xi Wujue smiled sarcastically. His father's actions were indeed a bit domineering and unreasonable, but there was no need for reason between two countries. As long as the goal could be achieved, any method was the best.
"His Highness said that the poisons of your Western Kingdom are quite good; he has tasted them and is quite satisfied. But have you tasted our poisons?"
Xi Wujue's pupils contracted, and he suddenly sensed something was wrong: "You! Xu Liang, what do you want to do?"
Xu Liang smiled slightly, a particularly bright smile: "It's nothing, I just wanted you to taste our poison too."
After saying that, he threw down the whip, took out a small bottle from somewhere, grabbed Xi Wujue's chin with one hand, pried open his mouth, and poured the medicine from the bottle into his mouth.
Xi Wujue didn't want to swallow it, but at this point, who would indulge him?
Xu Liang lifted Xi Wujue's chin with one hand and forcefully pulled it upwards, forcing Xi Wujue to swallow the liquid in his mouth.
"Cough cough cough, what did you give me to drink!"
Xi Wujue's expression changed. Even a fool would know at this moment that what he had just been given was definitely not something simple.
Xu Liang simply smiled and did not answer his question: "Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough."
The person behind Xu Liang picked up the whip for him and handed it back to him.
This time, Xu Liang didn't take care of Xi Wujue. She turned around and took a few steps to Ouyang Fu's side.
"Former Crown Prince, what do you have to say?"
Ouyang Fu and Xi Wujue were imprisoned here. Although there was no one in the room, someone was listening to their conversations from outside. Xu Liang had known this for a long time.
Xu Liang actually admired Ouyang Fu quite a bit. Whether Ouyang Fu was smart or not is another matter, and we won't discuss whether he was competent when he was the crown prince, but his ideas were still good.
How could he possibly think that the Emperor still wanted him as the Crown Prince?
Xu Liang suddenly wanted to laugh, and raised the whip in his hand: "Do you think the Emperor would use you again if something happened to the Crown Prince?"
Ouyang Fu dared not nod at this moment, but he understood that his father had no other choice.
As the legitimate son of the Empress and the Empress's own son, he received the education of a crown prince from a young age.
After so many years of upbringing, how could the Emperor possibly give up on him so easily?
"The idea is good, but it's already dawn!"
With a snap, the familiar sound of a whip cracked, this time in a different place.
Ouyang Fu cried out in pain, "Xu Liang, are you crazy? How dare you hit me!"
When Xi Wujue was attacked, he tried his best to minimize his presence, but who would have thought he still couldn't escape?
"You're a deposed crown prince, who else should I hit if not you?"
"As the crown prince, you've committed treason. Who do you think you are?"
"Damn it, I hate traitors the most!"
If Xu Liang only used seven-tenths of his strength when fighting Xi Wujue, then he certainly used ten-tenths of his strength against the one in front of him now.
I'm furious! This guy is a traitor.
The sound of whips cracking and snapping was incessant. At first, Ouyang Fu could still argue, but later he didn't even groan anymore.
Until his head lolled to the side and he passed out. Xu Liangcai stopped and shouted angrily, "Water!"
A bowl of ice water was poured over his head, and Ouyang Fu shivered from the cold, which woke him up.
Remembering Ouyang Zhen's words, Xu Liang walked up to Ouyang Fu again and said with a smile, "By the way, former Crown Prince, you've been gone for so long, have you contacted anyone in the capital?"
Ouyang Fu raised his head and looked at Xu Liang listlessly.
He had better pray that he would never regain power, otherwise he would make Xu Liang wish he were dead.
"Your Crown Princess truly has deep feelings for you!"
Xu Liang scoffed.
Ouyang Fu's heart skipped a beat. Even before he got into trouble, he already knew what Mengyao had done.
That woman deserves to die.
She had always harbored lustful thoughts towards Ouyang Zhen. Could it be that after she disappeared, this woman threw herself into Ouyang Zhen's arms and became his woman?
"You said you were just missing, not dead, but your Crown Princess, instead of staying at home to take care of the family, actually had some kind of twin with the Meng family."
Ouyang Fu's pupils contracted sharply. He wasn't stupid. Mengyao didn't have any twins. He knew without a doubt that this was a scheme she devised to make her relationship with Ouyang Zhen legitimate.
"It was at someone else's banquet that the twins tried to get involved with Prince Zhen, but unfortunately, they failed. Guess what happened to those twins in the end?"
Ouyang Fu kept his eyes closed and his lips clenched. If she were in the capital now, he would definitely kill Meng Yao, that bitch, with his own hands.
"Actually, she's lived a pretty fulfilling life. It's quite remarkable that she was caught red-handed with two men!"
"He's a servant in someone else's household, the former crown prince. Tell me, why is Mengyao's twin sister so thirsty?"
Ouyang Fu didn't want to listen anymore.
"However, you are also quite lucky. Mengyao has a half-sister who is pregnant with your child and has now been taken to the palace by the Empress."
The crown prince was not surprised, and Xu Liang was also used to it.
That's how people in the palace are; they're all incredibly cunning. Even when they're not in the palace, they have everything under control.
It's likely that the Crown Prince only learned of the news from the capital by the time they reached the Western Kingdom.
He dared not contact the capital.
"Alright, that's all for our chat! Let's have some more food!"
Another rhythmic crack of whips followed until Ouyang Fu was knocked unconscious again. Only then did Xu Liang stop and lead the group out.
"General, why doesn't His Highness come in person?"
Hearing his confidant's words, Xu Liang turned to look at him: "This game is more fun when Your Highness doesn't show up."
At this point, the two people inside were probably still suspicious of each other. They weren't sure if Ouyang Zhen had been cured, so they held onto hope.
It's good to have hope; they'll be even more disappointed if they wait.
Xu Liang returned to report, and Ouyang Zhen smiled upon hearing this: "Just make sure they don't die!"
