humble minister

"The dust has settled now." Li Qing sighed after watching the guards put down Bogra, who was so painful that he fainted, "Now there are only a few spies who are deeply hidden in the palace, but I believe the shadow My lord will definitely be able to catch them out. I just don't know how His Majesty will deal with that Han Zhirou?"

Although Han Zhirou's belly is not the flesh and blood of the late emperor, outsiders don't know about it, and the scandal of the royal family can't be shaken out, they can only smash their teeth and swallow blood, at least right now, this person can't be hurt , can not kill.

"Wait until that child is born." Shi Yu replied lightly.This kid is a good pawn in controlling Borg.

"However, Your Majesty, I'm still very curious. How did you know that Borg was definitely hiding in this Yushu Palace?" After a pause, Li Qing still asked.In fact, Borg's previous guess was basically correct. The only thing that was wrong was that they did send someone to follow Borg who was released from prison, but they lost them when they followed him to the palace. In the end, His Majesty finalized the place of Yushu Palace.

"The former concubine of my father lived in Yushu Palace." Shi Yu lowered his eyes and said slowly, "This concubine was quite favored by my father when she first entered the palace. , But until the appearance of Queen Zhaomin, all this was broken. Someone slandered and framed this concubine and recruited evil spirits to curse Queen Zhaomin. It happened that Queen Zhaomin was seriously ill at that time, so the father believed the rumors and severely punished the concubine. This Yushu Palace has become a cold palace in another sense."

"The concubine of the foreign race is so stubborn, she can't bear this humiliation, and she can't bear the wronged by her beloved who once loved her so much. After all kinds of explanations to no avail, she hanged herself in Yushu Palace." Shi Yu said here Shi Shi actually sighed softly, not knowing what he was sighing about.

"Isn't this concubine Boge's..." Li Qing opened his mouth slightly, it made sense.

"Yes, this concubine is Borg's aunt, and she has treated him very well since she was a child. Borg must have resentment in his heart if a close relative suffers such misfortune. I am afraid that this part of the reason why he attacked our court is also part of the reason for this. Guess he will choose to hide in this Yushu Palace." After Shi Yu finished speaking, he didn't want to waste any more time here, he still had other things to do.

"Okay, Li Qing, I'll leave the matter here to you and Ying. It's time for me to welcome my left friend back." Speaking of this, the original cold face subconsciously melted down, and the corners of his lips lightened slightly. The slightly swaying arc showed Shi Yu's good mood at the moment, and there was a hint of sweetness in such a sentence.

Ah Ying, whether it's the familiarity and affection I had for you from the very beginning, or the little liking I have accumulated over time, I can no longer let you go, and that jade pendant also proves that we are very destined of it?This is what is meant to be.

"Your Majesty looks so happy, you really are in love." Li Qing joked with a smile, which provoked a rare ridicule from this handsome emperor.

"Aren't you and that kid Jiang Chongzheng the same?"

Li Qing's smile froze at the corners of his lips, and he couldn't smile anymore, but Shi Yu straightened his clothes in a good mood, and stepped forward to the prison - this old fox also has a shy day.

In the dim sky prison, the yellow candles flickered and flickered, as if they foreshadowed the lives of the people in the prison, swaying and struggling fragilely, but only a slight breeze was enough Let it all annihilate.

Cai'er clutched the food box in her arms, and followed the jailer in front of her step by step through the long, damp corridor. At the very end, she saw the young master shivering as if he was dead.

"Master Lian." After the jailer left, she approached the cell and called softly.

Perhaps the person lying in the corner fell asleep, but she didn't respond at all when she yelled at him.Cai'er couldn't help but clenched the thing in her hand, as if she wanted to get a little bit of strength from it.Although she had been in the palace for a long time, she was still a little scared as a little girl in such a place where countless extremely evil people were imprisoned.

"Master Lian." Raising the volume, Cai Er yelled again, this time the person in the corner seemed to hear it, moved, and then looked towards the door with a pair of bright eyes.

"Master Lian, it's me, Cai'er." Seeing the other party's reaction, Cai'er happily said again.But when she saw the emaciated Lian Ying, that joy turned into deep sadness and heartache again.

"Cai'er, why are you here?" Lian Ying moved her chapped lips, and a hoarse voice escaped from her lips.

"Master, come closer, Cai'er has something to tell you." Although her eyes were red with distress, Cai'er still hasn't forgotten why she came this time, and she really can't waste time reminiscing about the past.

Lian Ying was slightly puzzled, but under Cai Er's urging eyes, he still tried his best to move his weak body towards the door.

"Young master, Cai'er came here on the order of the empress. The jailers guarding outside have already eaten the food that Cai'er sent with added ingredients, and they will fall into a coma in a short time. You should take advantage of this time to Use this sharp blade to cut off the chain locks, as long as you escape from this dungeon and walk northward, you will see a carriage. The driver and luggage are all ready, and the young master just needs to get on the carriage. The driver is a martial artist with great martial arts skills. Man, he'll take you to a safe place."

After Cai'er finished speaking, she took out an unattractive dagger from the food box she was carrying, and stuffed it into Lian Ying's hand through the gap: "Don't worry, young master, this dagger is a magic weapon that cuts iron like mud, and it will definitely be able to Cut off this chain in a very short time. But you must hurry up, young master, and remember to go north when you get out of the prison, and don't look back no matter what happens."

"Why did sister do this?" Eyelashes drooped, Lian Ying asked calmly without taking the dagger.

"Because your majesty is not sure whether your majesty will let you go out, and there are still many ministers who don't know what is going on and strongly demand that your majesty put you to death. Under pressure, your majesty has not done anything so far, so neither the majesty nor the master can do anything. There is no way to wait any longer." Cai'er's eyes flashed, and then she said in an orderly manner.

"Cai'er, don't lie to me, tell me the truth." However, Lian Ying broke her words with one word.

"Everything Cai'er said is true." Cai'er subconsciously bit her lip and said calmly.

Lian Ying smiled lightly, took the dagger over and played with it in his hand: "Cai'er, do you know that you like to bite your lips every time you tell a lie? I just want to walk more clearly, don't you want to tell me Me? If I don’t say these words now, I may never know them in my life.”

"Master..." Cai'er hesitated, and finally handed the thing she had been clutching to Lian Ying's hand, "Master, do you still remember that this is the jade pendant that Master gave to Your Majesty when she got married? Your Majesty a few days ago I also saw it, and somehow the empress gave the jade pendant to Caier, asking Caier to bring it to you. Caier really didn't know what the empress meant, but the empress had a saying that made Caier feel helpless. It's time to tell the young master."

Lian Ying clenched the jade pendant in her hand, and listened to Cai Er's words in silence for a long time.

"The empress said, let the young master be more sober. There is a kind of love that cannot be tolerated by the world, let alone the emperor's love, which cannot be touched or trusted."

"The empress also said that in her eyes, Ah Ying should be a person who pursues freedom. She wants to see you happy and happy for a lifetime, instead of being locked in this deep palace, locked in this capital city, and locked in that place who doesn't cherish you at all." around people."

After Cai'er left, Lian Yingyou paid attention to the movement outside, and found that gradually, the outside became quieter.After he tied the jade pendant around his neck, he clenched the dagger in his hand, making the final struggle and decision.

If he escapes, then he can only choose to escape so far in his life. Even if the charge is cleared, the crime of escape from prison is undeniable; What could it be?

He trusted Shi Yu, but this trust was worn away bit by bit when he didn't pay attention to it these few days.Maybe when he said "believe" in front of Jiang Bailang, he was actually laughing hard in his heart.

Lian Ying has never felt so tired and tired like this moment, and it was enough to just stay by that person's side.But gradually, the better Shi Yu treated him, the less he could be satisfied. For a moment, he was even jealous of his sister, the woman who had been loved by Shi Yu from the beginning.

So ugly, really ugly.

Lian Ying covered her eyes, a line of tears slipped from the corner of her eyes, dripped on the ground, splashing clusters of dust.

"Go away, even my lord."

A female voice sounded, Lian Ying was so startled that he put down his hand, and saw Han Zhirou in his tearful eyes.

"Leave, Lian Ying." Han Zhirou walked in front of Lian Ying. Even though her big belly made it difficult for her to get closer and touch this man, she still couldn't help stretching out her hand and tried her best to want him. Wipe the tears off the man's face.

"Why do you..." Lian Ying was stunned and asked in a daze.

"My lord, how about I help you make a choice?" Han Zhirou gave up because she couldn't touch it, and finally just put her hand on her stomach, with a bright smile, and said bitterly in her eyes.

"Why did you come here?" Lian Ying was more surprised by why Han Zhirou appeared here than she said to make a choice.

"Look at you." This time, Han Zhirou did not ignore his question, and replied with a smile.

"My lord, why are you so distressed? Isn't it good to leave?" Without waiting for Lian Ying to ask again, Han Zhirou continued, "Or do you mean that you can't let Your Majesty go?"

"Heh, do you know all of you?" Lian Ying smiled wryly, he was always free and unrestrained, and only with Shi Yu could he be so indecisive.

"This is just my intuition, and my intuition will be very accurate for people I like." Han Zhirou smiled, with a gentle and touching smile, "Let me help you make a choice."

"What?" Lian Ying couldn't ignore this sentence at this time, and there was a bad premonition in his heart.

"Make a choice. Let's see if you should stay or not. Is that emperor worthy of your stay?" Han Zhirou still had that smile, but it was different from the gentleness before. Now it just makes people feel crazy, "What do you think?" Who will he choose? Will he come to your rescue? Do you think he will?"

Lian Ying felt more and more uneasy. When he saw the flames blazing outside, he felt that the woman in front of him was crazy. When he connected with what she said, Lian Ying instantly had a very bad feeling. guess.

"Where did you set the fire? Tell me, where else did you set the fire!" Lian Ying grabbed Han Zhirou's arm, and unconsciously exerted great force, but the woman didn't seem to feel any pain. smiling.

"Of course it's Yiren Palace. Let's see who the emperor will choose, okay?" Han Zhirou smiled and held Lian Ying's hand holding his arm, looking crazy, "Ah Ying, look clearly, Look carefully, that man won't choose you, he doesn't love you, the one who loves you is me, always me!"

"You're crazy..."
