I couldn't believe what I was hearing, and I didn't know where I got the strength, so I slammed the door of the locked room and shouted, "Someone! Open the door! Open the door! ”

When I struck the third time, the door opened, and the guard guarding the door stopped me in fear: "Your Highness, stop your anger! The rebel party was in turmoil, everyone in the palace was in danger, and his subordinates were ordered to protect him, and he asked His Royal Highness to stay in the house. ”

"You say you are rebelling against the party? What the hell is going on? In desperation, I grabbed her arm, unaware that my nails had left red marks on her hands.

――I just told Oloku to move the rescue troops, how did it become a rebellion?

"Hey--Your Highness forgives me, and my subordinates and subordinates don't know very well, but I just heard the news from the person in front of me......" She begged for mercy painfully, but she couldn't reveal half of the useful news.

"It's the king who is in a hurry, are you okay?" Seeing that although she was in pain, she didn't dare to break away from me, I couldn't help but think of Jiang Zhuo, who relaxed her muscles and let me bite her that night, and my heart ached, but I calmed down, let go of my hand in a dejected manner, and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay with my subordinates." She immediately took a step back, as if inexplicably frightened at my concern.

I had no intention of trying to figure out what she was thinking, but I only wanted to get the exact news as soon as possible: "You or your men, whoever you want, send someone to find out what is going on, and go back and forth as soon as possible - this king will not leave here." ”

“…… Be. She looked at me in embarrassment, and glared back at me stubbornly, so I had to wave a guard and whisper a few words.

The young janissary quickly went to the front, and my heart drifted into the distance with her figure - Jiang Zhuo, you must not be fine.

The anxiety and fear in my heart had almost accumulated to a peak, but the janissaries sent to inquire about the news had not returned, and there was not even a single news from the front.

I walked up and down the room, thinking about whether the guards had joined forces to deceive me, and whether I had been detained as a suspect—and in the midst of my confusion, I heard a knock at the door.

"Your Highness, the servants have come to report the news by His Majesty's command, the rebellion has been quelled, please eat with peace of mind." He was followed by several palace attendants holding trays, and different dishes were served to the table in turn, which looked very sumptuous and tempting, but I didn't have half of my appetite.

――Since this palace attendant was sent by the emperor, he should know some ins and outs.

I turned back to the room and sat down, and motioned for the palace attendant to sit down: "You come from the front, you may as well talk to this king...... Who is the traitor? Where did it come from, and where is it now? ”

"The slave doesn't dare," he resigned from his seat, but respectfully answered the questions I wanted to know one by one, "Returning to Your Highness, the head of the traitors is Jiang Zhuo, the former deputy commander of the forbidden army, who gathered a group of dead soldiers and infiltrated the palace through the south gate in an attempt to misbehave...... Now he is being crushed in a prison, waiting for His Majesty's verdict. ”

After listening to him, I almost knocked over the nearest teacup.

――Didn't you send someone to rescue Jiang Zhuo? How did she turn her into the head of some traitors?

The south gate is the closest palace gate to King Ling's Mansion.

In this way, the dead soldiers brought by Jiang Zhuo are probably the rescuers brought by Yiliu to find Yan Ke, and they will be arrested as rebels, also because they want to save me out.

Left and right, it's all my fault.

"Jiang Zhuo is the king's personal guard, how can he rebel for no reason? There must be some misunderstanding in this, this king is going to see her and ask for clarification. "For now, we must first wash off Jiang Zhuo's hat of being a traitor, save her life, and then find a way to save us all.

"Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Majesty has decreed, you are not allowed to leave this room." I didn't know that the palace attendant bowed and said without changing his face.

"You mean, the king is grounded?" I was so angry that I slapped my palm on the table, shaking the wine and food, and forcibly endured the sharp pain in my palm, trying to intimidate him with this posture and teach him to let me out.

But I still underestimated the other party - how easy is it to be sent by Kuang Xiqing?

I saw him quietly lifting the hem of his clothes, kneeling in front of me upright, looking directly into my eyes, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Highness has any anger, just vent it at the minion, the servant will never dare to complain, just ask Your Highness not to be angry with his own body." ”

After speaking, he leaned over and kowtowed to the ground, and blocked my full stomach with words.

This palace attendant, isn't it sure that I won't do anything to him?

Oh, if it were Kuang Xihan's violent temper, he would have dragged people out to enjoy the board a long time ago.

But can you teach me to get out by beating him? Even if you kill him, I'm afraid it won't help.

However, his last words reminded me that there was still a plan to try—vile, but my only hope.

Pretending to be angry, I picked up the teapot on the table, avoided the place where he was kneeling, and smashed it hard, and I heard a crisp sound of "clang", the teapot was torn apart, and the broken porcelain slag was scattered and splashed in all directions, and the palace attendant still knelt motionlessly in place, without the slightest intention of evading, but gave me another big salute, and said unhurriedly: "Your Highness is angry." ”

"You, you......" I clutched the placket of my chest, pretending to be unable to breathe, and slowly slid to the ground with one hand on the table.

Although it is pretending, half of it is acting in its true colors - this body is jealous and angry, and I suddenly heard the news that Jiang Zhuo was sent to the prison, and I was indeed a little irritable, even if it was a play, my heart was really stuffy and unbearable.

The palace attendant, who was still kneeling calmly and calmly, panicked all of a sudden, and couldn't care about the broken porcelain slag around him, moved to my side on his knees, helped me and asked repeatedly: "Your Highness, Your Highness?" ”

Seeing that he was so nervous, I knew that I had made the right bet, so I endured the discomfort and did not avoid his touch, but just whispered: "You go to report to the emperor quickly, just say, just say that this king is ......"

didn't finish speaking, then closed his eyes and "fainted" in time.

"Your Highness! Come! Come on! He was so anxious that he immediately put me down, rushed over and pushed the door open, and shouted outside, "You, go find the imperial doctor!" If you go to report to Your Majesty, you will say that Your Highness has fainted, go quickly! ”

I didn't dare to peek at it, for fear that he would find out the clue, so I could only lower my breath and lie on my side on the cold ground, waiting quietly.

In the midst of the chaos, I felt that I was being carried to the couch, took off my shoes and socks, and covered the quilt - and in a short time, the door was pushed open, and the anxious voice of the palace attendant sounded: "Imperial doctor, you should show Your Highness, why did she faint all of a sudden?" If something goes wrong with His Highness, the life of a slave will be ......."

It turned out to be the imperial doctor, not Kuang Xiqing.

I sighed silently, controlled the rate of my breathing, and continued to disguise, but I was not sure if I would teach the imperial doctor to debunk it.

Fortunately, she just muttered a few words to herself strangely, and then said to the palace attendant: "Don't panic, Your Highness is fine, it's just a moment of anger, stuffed in her chest, and she is unconscious. ”

The waiting process is always long and boring, and at the same time, I feel that every minute is a torment.

I finally endured the grinding imperial doctor's needle and retreated, and I waited for a long time, and finally my bitter plan was not in vain, and she still cared about me in her heart-this recognition taught me a little more sour, and the guilt of taking advantage of her thoughts.

But when I thought of Jiang Zhuo, these feelings were all left behind.

"See Majesty." The attendant's voice came from outside the door, with an imperceptible trill, which made me involuntarily tense my nerves - Kwong Xiqing is here, but how do I wake up at the best time, and what kind of attitude should I take?

The most important thing is, how did you ask her to let Jiang Zhuo go?

I do not know.

My mind was confused, and my breathing was also chaotic, so I quickly discarded my mixed thoughts, adjusted my breathing, and waited patiently for her to approach.

As if she knew what was on my mind, she deliberately opposed me, and after she had dismissed the palace attendants and the imperial doctor, she stood quietly by the door, without the slightest intention of approaching.

I could feel the dim light in the room as the door closed, and I could feel her staring at me without blinking...... But why didn't she come?

What is she worried about? What are you waiting for?

After thinking about it, I made a risky decision - frowning in pain, curling up sideways in a ball, and snorting lowly.

Unexpectedly, she just paused and walked over immediately, but she still maintained a distance of one foot, standing silently on the side of the bed, as if suppressing her breath and storage.

- Well, the purpose of attracting her has been achieved anyway, and I don't have to pretend anymore.

Thinking of this, I slowly opened my eyes, and looked at the vague figure beside the bed through the layers of veils: "Sister Huang." ”

Because I woke up suddenly, she seemed to take half a step back unexpectedly, turned sideways, and faintly moved.

Of course, I couldn't let her go, so I sat up without hesitation, lifted the veil as fast as I could in my life, and grabbed her sleeve: "Don't go!" ”

She didn't pull back her sleeves, nor did she turn her head, her back was like a lonely peak, inexplicably revealing a bit of sadness, without saying a word, the meaning of refusal was self-evident.

After calming down a bit, I pondered and spoke: "I heard that the guards mistook my personal guards for traitors and arrested them......"

She was silent, and suddenly withdrew her sleeves, and walked out without looking back, not wanting to listen to my defense.

"Wait!" Seeing that she was about to touch the door, I hurriedly got up to chase after her, and planted directly from the couch without paying attention, and knocked my elbow alive, and tears suddenly oozed out of pain, "Ahhh

However, this little episode also succeeded in stopping her steps, teaching her to turn around and step next to me without thinking, take me in her arms, and ask urgently, "What's wrong?" Where's the injury? ”

The familiar voice and warm embrace taught me to hold back my tears and freeze on the spot.

Climbing her arm and looking up, she was dressed in a brocade robe embroidered with phoenix nine heavenly patterns on the bottom of the golden silk, her eyebrows were picturesque, her temperament was like orchid, and her eyes were as deep as the night sky.

I have traced my face a thousand times with my fingertips, and my voice has echoed a thousand times in my ears...... How can someone I love confess my mistakes?

That's not my imperial sister Kwong Xiqing.

That's -- Jiang Zhuo.
