Chapter 20: Ending
Director Lin told them that they had to finish filming the ending today and it might be late.
Fang Xin naturally had no problem with it, and Lu Ziyan also nodded. Everyone was willing to endure the hardship.
In the cold tenth month of winter, the frost was falling outside the window like a knife blade, and the servants in the palace were sweeping the snow around for their masters.
Su Zhongxian had not served Ouyang Ye for many days. Since that day, he claimed to be ill and stayed in his own villa.
However, Ouyang Ye was unable to look for him because of his own big plan, or perhaps he thought he was in a bad mood.
After confessing to Su Zhongxian, Ouyang Ye divorced Li Ruolan on the grounds that she was immoral and sent her back to Prime Minister Li's residence with a letter of divorce.
Li Xiang felt that he had lost all his face, so he no longer belonged to Ouyang Ye's party.
But Ouyang Ye didn't care at all. As soon as he sued the emperor, although the emperor had intentionally humiliated Ouyang Ye when arranging the marriage for him, he was still his own brother after all.
As a tyrant with unpredictable tempers, the emperor sentenced Li Xiang to death on the spot at the next morning court, and exiled the rest of his family separately.
As a result, more court officials were dissatisfied with the emperor and each of them turned to the force they favored.
Su Zhongxian sat by the door of the dormitory. The snow set off his white skin, bright red lips, and a charming look between his melancholy brows.
"How is the prince?"
He opened his lips and asked the disciple beside him. He sent his disciples to serve the prince, while he himself stayed at home and did not go out.
These are troubled times, and it would be a shame if people found out that they were messing around like this.
The prince's plan would surely be ruined, so he would rather not see the prince or have any status.
"Master, the prince has been coming home late recently, and the prince's palace is often visited by court officials. I don't understand why you don't go back to assist the prince?"
Su Zhongxian closed his eyes, and when he opened them again he saw clarity of vision.
"You need to know when to ask what you should and shouldn't ask. Just do whatever you are told to do."
The apprentice bowed and left in a hurry, then left the house and went to the palace.
“Crack!”
Another scene ended. Fang Xin reviewed the plot, briefly reviewed the lines for the next scene with Lu Ziyan, and then prepared for the second scene.
There was blood and gore in the palace, eunuchs and palace maids were fleeing everywhere, and screams were heard one after another.
Su Zhongxian rushed forward as if he couldn't bear to look at the tragic scene ahead. He looked around to find Ouyang Ye.
His hair was in disarray, and flames were scattered everywhere as he stepped on them.
"Nothing can happen...it must be accomplished...it must be accomplished..."
He kept muttering as he ran, fearing that he would see a shocking scene the next moment.
He was suddenly pulled into a corner. He tried not to scream, but the moment he saw Ouyang Ye, tears burst out like a flood that broke through a dam.
"My Lord..."
He held Ouyang Ye tightly with both hands, and was glad that he was not too late.
Ouyang Ye looked painful, his whole body pressed against the wall, his lips pale.
He used up all his strength to catch the little eunuch who was looking for him everywhere, for fear that he would get hurt.
"Why are you here? Why aren't you staying in the house?"
He had just been filled with anger, and seeing him so vicious, his heart ached, so he pushed him to a safe place.
"Go! Go quickly! Otherwise, both you and I will die!" When he was in a hurry, he did not call himself the king in front of Su Zhongxian. He only knew that the person in front of him was the one he cherished.
Ouyang Ye looked at the weak body with a forbearing gaze, "I know you are hiding from me, I am sure I can't do it this time..."
"Once the emperor sees me, this treason will be a serious crime. The farther you run, the better..."
Su Zhongxian wiped his eyes and smiled with ease.
"Your Highness, you were careless this time. If it weren't for me making plans for you, you would definitely not be able to escape this time."
Under the well-behaved appearance, there is an indescribable thought, "I am here to save the prince. If the prince leaves, the servant will be able to escape quickly."
He helped Ouyang Ye up and straightened his armor for him.
"Your Highness, please go to the southern palace gate. Our people are all there. Your Majesty will not see you. I have already found a replacement."
The corners of Su Zhongxian's mouth curled up, as if everything was under control, and Ouyang Ye felt relieved.
He stared at Su Zhongxian and said, "Hurry up, I will wait for you to leave together."
Under the cover of Su Zhongxian, Ouyang Ye ran to a corner where he would not attract the attention of the guards.
Su Zhongxian waved his hand to tell the prince that he would definitely come back.
Ouyang Ye felt relieved and left.
After a long time, he still didn't see Su Zhongxian, and the servants around him hurriedly urged him to leave as soon as they saw him.
But he ordered that they must wait until Su Zhongxian came out, but time passed by minute by minute.
The noise in the palace died down, but the thin figure was nowhere to be seen.
In an instant, Ouyang Ye suddenly realized, and his pupils shook wildly.
He rushed into the palace gate regardless of the injuries on his body.
The people behind him couldn't hold on. Everyone was afraid of death, so some fled and some scattered.
Ouyang Ye ran wildly all the way, the blood on his body kept flowing, as if he would not stop until it was all gone.
There was a person kneeling under the Yangxin Palace, and Ouyang Xiu was looking down at the servant who didn't know whether to live or die.
Su Zhongxian's eyes were dull, his body was covered with scales, and his hair had long been scattered.
"I really have a good brother, but he actually wants to seize power and usurp the throne?"
He laughed and sat on the throne, "As long as I am alive, he will always be a subject under me!"
"How dare you, a little servant, take Ouyang Ye's place and deceive me?"
The emperor drew out his sword and walked down the steps step by step, "Ouyang Ye, my brother, come out and look at your loyal servant!"
"Even if he replaces you, so what? If I want to find you, all the people in the world will help me find you. Where are you going to escape to?"
The sound of the sword slashing across the stairs was harsh. Su Zhongxian lowered his head, feeling a pang of pain in his heart as he watched Dragon Boots approaching step by step.
