Seeing that I should respond, Father-in-law Quan didn't say anything more, but nodded and began to lead the way in front. Although the two guards at the door did not stop me from going out again, they followed us after Rong Yan and I went out. After all, their duty is to "guard" me.

Walking on the way to the Qianqing Palace, my heart was actually unstoppable sadness. Yes, since the beginning of my fight, I shouldn't have had hope for the emperor. He is the emperor above ten thousand people under one person, even if he says that he is sincere to me, but the emperor's mind who knows the way of the emperor, how can I be able to fathom it?

Suddenly, I felt a little dizzy, my steps were not so strong, and the arm holding Rong Yan was also a little cold and shivering. Rong Yan seemed to sense something, and called softly: "Niangniang......" I shook my head gently at her, signaling that I was fine.

There was no word all the way, Quan Gonggong led the way in front, and glanced back from time to time, and the two guards behind me did not urge me to walk slowly, but also followed behind me wordlessly. Rong Yan bit her lower lip gently, and I, supported by her, walked step by step towards that unknown ending.

This very familiar road, this time it is very slow, but even if you go slowly, the end is there, and if you go slower, you will eventually reach it.

Father-in-law Quan walked two steps quickly, whispered a few words to the little eunuch in front of the palace gate, and then saw the little eunuch enter the palace gate quickly and silently. I walked up the steps in front of the hall with one foot and one foot heavy, standing in front of the Qianqing Palace and standing slightly, suddenly feeling that the laughter was yesterday, and now, it is just a matter of things and people.

The two guards did not continue to follow, but waited under the porch, and when they arrived, there were already imperial guards stationed here on a daily basis, and there was no need for the two of them to continue to follow.

With the little eunuch going in to pass the message, Father-in-law Quan did not go in, but waited outside with me, and when I raised my eyes to look at Father-in-law, it happened that he was also looking at me. I looked at the eyes, there seemed to be countless sorrows, and I couldn't help but feel a chill rise in my heart.

As soon as he was about to speak, the little eunuch who had gone in to pass the word came out, and when he came out to stand still, he dragged a long male duck and shouted: "Xuan-pure concubine to meet -"

The palace maid at the gate of the palace had already opened the curtain, I took a deep breath, adjusted my appearance, glanced at Rong Yan, and walked inside.

When I arrived in the main hall, because I came to ask for sin, unlike usual, I had to bow my head and follow my ears, and walked slowly, as if I had just returned to the time when I had just entered the palace and was taught to learn the rules by my grandmothers, I was careful not to make a sound.

It's just that the further I go, the more confused I feel. Although he couldn't bow his head, he could see the ground next to him with the rest of his eyes, and when he came in, he didn't see a palace maid beside him.

I put aside the doubts in my heart, and when I reached a few meters in front of the imperial case, I stopped. Rong Yan helped me kneel on the ground, and I said aloud: "Sinner Wenhua, see the emperor." Long live the emperor, long live, long live. ”

The emperor did not say anything, did not say anything to get me up, nor did he say some words of reprimand, I continued to straighten up and kneel, not daring to raise my head, just looked down at the tiles on the ground, and traced the pattern over and over again with my eyes.

After a while, I heard the sound of tables and chairs when the emperor got up and stood up, and heard the emperor's powerful footsteps, and then I saw the emperor's bright yellow dragon pattern shoes, standing on the pattern I had been staring at before. For a moment, my heart felt like it was about to jump out - he was right in front of me.

I heard the emperor cough lightly, and then the familiar voice said: "Quanfu, you should retreat first." Rong Yan also go down. I will not let you in, and no one will come in and disturb me. I-Listen well, pure concubine...... How to plead guilty. ”

When the word "pure concubine" was spoken, the emperor seemed to be gritting his teeth, and I was terrified when I heard it. I guess I messed with him, I thought to myself. It's just that at this time, he is still calling me a pure concubine, which he has given, which means that he is one of the women in his three palaces and six courts, I don't know if he is still thinking about the old love, or ...... It's cold enough to call me this name, not mine......

As soon as the holy words came out, Quan Gonggong and Rong Yan categorically could not disobey the will. Rong Yan, who was kneeling beside me with me, kowtowed, saluted, and withdrew with his father-in-law. Then he heard that the doors of the temple were shut. Now, in the entire hall, there are only me and the emperor, two people.

The pair of bright yellow dragon shoes in front of him soon disappeared—the emperor seemed to be pacing in the main hall, and then he heard the emperor's gentle, somewhat stern voice that was different from the past: "I heard that you are coming to ask for sin, but I didn't want to see you." ”

My heart instantly lifted a little, and I thought of the little father-in-law who came to pass the word for the first time before, saying that the emperor didn't see me. It seems that at that time, the emperor did make a decree first and said that he would not see me. I don't know why I changed my mind later?

"But...... I thought that after serving me for so long, I should really give you a chance. So...... Tell me, how are you going to plead guilty? ”

When I heard this, I still lowered my eyebrows and said, "Back to the emperor, the slave and maid are going to ask for guilt." A few days ago, Si Yuan and Nian Yang, two big palace maids beside me, came to me to say goodbye, saying that they wanted to go out of the palace - Your Majesty, you know that the slave is a soft-hearted person, and Si Yuan and Nian Yang have grown up with me since childhood, so they allowed them to ......"

"Oh?"

I didn't care what the emperor was puzzled or sarcastic about, and continued: "The slaves and maids were a little tired in those two days, so I didn't ask them in detail why they left the palace, I thought that after so many years, I also trusted them more. But who knows, not long after the two of them left the palace, the emperor sent someone to interrogate them, and the slave and maid panicked. ”

"When the two girls said to me that they would come back in three or four days, the slave maid was grounded by the emperor, and I thought that when these two girls came back, they might be able to settle their grievances, but who would think...... The day has come, but these two girls haven't come back......"

"The slave and maid are relaxed, and they don't take care of their own slaves, and because the emperor has been grounding the slaves and maids, he is afraid, so he wants to come to the emperor today to ask for guilt-"

Speaking of this, I bowed my head, and then continued: "Please read the emperor's love for these days...... Forgive the slave and the maid...... Forgive the slave's family......"
