The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

Ouyang Yi's eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a hint of disdain and sarcasm.

His voice was cold and firm: “Humph, people like you only pursue power and do whatever it takes for your own benefit.

Last night you actually used such a despicable method to try to kill this prince. Do you think you can wash away the crime you committed with just a few sweet words?" His words were full of hatred and contempt for Fan Yao.

Then, Ouyang Yi took out a stack of official documents from his arms without hesitation and handed it to the emperor respectfully.

The emperor took the documents and glanced through them quickly. His face suddenly turned gloomy and his anger erupted like a volcano. He threw the stack of documents at Fan Yao fiercely and shouted angrily: "Fan Yao, do you admit your guilt?"

Fan Yao panicked and picked up the documents scattered on the ground, trembling as he opened them to read. When he saw the contents clearly, his face turned pale in an instant, as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt.

He didn't know how these confidential documents ended up in Ouyang Yi's hands, but when he saw the hard evidence, he had no chance to argue.

Because these were all evidence of his corruption and bribery over the years, as well as his collusion with foreign enemies, he had no way to defend himself.

He looked at Ouyang Yi with contempt and said, "If you and your son had not controlled the government for many years, I would not have resorted to such a desperate measure and put myself on a path of no return."

"I have no regrets for taking the path of no return today... Ouyang Yi, Nangong Mingxuan, you two are a pair of traitors with evil intentions. God will punish you sooner or later..."

He totally disregarded other matters and only wanted to vent the resentment that had been accumulating in his heart for so long. He wanted to plant the seeds of doubt in the emperor's heart before his death, so that the emperor would get rid of the person he hated the most.

Unexpectedly, the emperor not only had no doubts, but also trusted Ouyang Yi very much. He spoke up to defend Ouyang and his son and said, "Fan Yao, you are such a treacherous villain, don't try to destroy the relationship between me and the Regent Palace."

"I ascended the throne at the age of twelve. If it weren't for the strong support of my uncle, I would have lost my throne long ago. My uncle handed over the power to me when I was in power, and he has been assisting me diligently over the years. I have never doubted his loyalty."

"As for the Crown Prince, he has fought in many battles for Northern Qi and has never had a moment's rest. In order to avoid suspicion, he has never participated in important court affairs. His loyalty to me is obvious to all. Only petty people like you would be jealous of my trust in the Regent Palace and want to sow discord."

"I am not stupid, I will not do as you wish. Not to mention the evidence on the ground, just based on the fact that you wanted to set fire to Yi'er last night, I will cut you into pieces and draw your body into five pieces."

After hearing the emperor's words, Fan Yao was completely desperate, with anger burning in his heart.

He couldn't help but think of his planning over the years. He had put in countless efforts to protect the family's honor and to give his daughter and grandson a better future. However, today everything came to nothing, and he felt extremely angry and unwilling.

Fan Yao's eyes were filled with resentment. He stared at the emperor and Ouyang Yi viciously, thinking that they were the ones who were hindering his future.

At this moment, he felt that he had lost all hope and his life became meaningless. So, driven by despair, he decided to make a last-ditch effort - to burn his boats!

At this moment, Fan Yao took advantage of the emperor and Ouyang Yi's unpreparedness, flashed, and quickly picked up the sword beside the emperor.

His movements were so fast that before the two could react, he had already put the sword on the emperor's neck. At this moment, Ouyang Yi was stunned. He did not expect Fan Yao to suddenly attack.

Ouyang Yi and the emperor were startled by the sudden change, but they quickly regained their composure.

Faced with this situation, they must remain calm and find a way to solve the problem. Fan Yao, on the other hand, gripped the hilt tightly, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes.

He knew that this might be his last chance in life and his only chance to help his daughter.

There was a gleam of ruthlessness in his eyes, full of determination and coldness.

He stared at the emperor closely, and threatened in a low and cold voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my offense. You'd better write the edict of succession and pass the throne to the queen's son. If you don't do as I say, don't blame me for killing you with my own hands. At that time, I will announce to the public that it was Ouyang Yi who killed you. After all, he is a fugitive who escaped from prison, so he can be charged with the crime of regicide..."

After hearing this, the emperor was so angry that his face turned red. He glared at Fan Yao angrily and said with gritted teeth: "How dare you!"

Fan Yao met the emperor's gaze without fear and sneered, "I am doomed to die anyway. Do you think I dare?" His words made Ouyang Yi on the side feel a little stunned and at a loss.

Indeed, a person who is on the verge of despair and has no way out can often do anything crazy.

Ouyang Yi knew very well that he had to remain calm at this moment and not be swayed by his emotions.

He tried hard to think of a countermeasure. The first thing he had to do was to stabilize Fan Yao's emotions to prevent him from taking further extreme actions to hurt the emperor. At the same time, he also needed to find an opportunity to cleverly rescue the emperor and resolve the crisis.

However, faced with such a difficult situation, Ouyang Yi couldn't help but feel doubts and worries.

He didn't know whether he had the ability to successfully save the emperor and resolve the current dilemma.

But no matter what, he was determined to do his best to protect the emperor's safety and maintain the dignity and ruling status of the royal family.

He tried to negotiate with Fan Yao, asking Fan Yao to release the emperor first and then consider the rest of the matters later.

But Fan Yao is no ordinary person. He has already made the decision to fight to the death. How could he easily let go of this great opportunity to turn the situation around?

He rejected all the conditions proposed by Ouyang Yi, and his only request was that the emperor write an abdication edict.

Both the emperor and Ouyang Yi knew clearly that once the abdication edict was written, it would most likely be the emperor's death, so they both tried their best to delay time.

"Fan Yao, I will never compromise under your threats. Just go ahead and kill me! But you have to think carefully. After you kill me, will your uncle let you go easily? Besides, your uncle will never support the queen's son to ascend the throne. If you act like this, it will only be a futile effort, and you will end up with nothing." The emperor was not afraid of his threats at all. Instead, he calmly analyzed the pros and cons of the matter with him.

However, Fan Yao remained unmoved. He firmly believed that as long as he forced the emperor to write an edict of succession and then killed him, his grandson would become the legitimate heir. Even if Nangong Mingxuan strongly opposed it, he could not stop the torrent of public opinion.

As a result, the whole situation seemed to have come to a stalemate, with both sides unable to break the impasse.

Fan Yao sat on the ground in despair, knowing that he had nowhere to go. Facing Ouyang Yi's questioning and condemnation, he could only endure it all silently and wait for the judgment of fate.
