Ah Feng and Jiang Ming were very sad in their hearts, but seeing Li Long'er leave, none of them knew what to say: Leaving Li Long'er behind, what should they do next?

Li Long'er's loneliness and loneliness are something that the two of them can't solve, except for watching her walk away, the two of them are only silent.

Ah Feng and Jiang Ming sighed at the same time, looking at the shadows of the two people under the palace lamp, they couldn't help but reach out and hold each other; They really hope that Li Long'er can be happy and happy, but now Li Long'er wants happiness is not something they can give.

only listened to Li Long'er's words, and knew that she still hadn't given up, and the matter between her and them, whether it was today or another day, there must be a solution after all.

But how do you solve it? Those quietly burning palace lamps were speechless, but they only stretched the shadows of Ah Feng and Jiang Ming longer.

The lonely shadow also reflected in the lamp candle, and Xia'er.

She used to say that one is not two in the palace, but now she has become the most pitiful prisoner, tied up and thrown to the ground: the light and darkness of the candle flame cannot give her the slightest warmth.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xia'er raised her head with difficulty, wanting to see who would come to see her at such a late hour? You know, she has also helped many, many people in the palace, and many people have said things to her.

It was only now that she heard someone coming: whoever it was, it would be very nice to be able to look at her at this time. Xia'er's heart gave birth to a little hope: at least, someone can help her get some bedding, the ground is too cold.

After confirming that there was only one person's footsteps, Xia'er's hope became a little greater, maybe someone could ask the queen for her, and send a few words to the house for her.

Of course, Xia'er knew that she had committed a big crime, but she didn't think that she would really be sent down, because she was the queen's niece, and their family was the queen's maiden family.

She struggled to sit up. At this moment she didn't want people to see her so pitiful, so wolfy: at least a little bit of dignity.

You know, she used to be the high-ranking lord of Xia, and in the eyes of many people, she was more noble than the princess.

There was the sound of the door opening, and the footsteps became clearer and clearer, making Xia'er's eyes shine - she didn't regret it before she was brought, thinking that it was just a little flesh and skin pain that she could certainly stand through.

Now she still doesn't regret what she did, but she doesn't want to stay for a moment, it's too bitter, it's not something that people can bear at all.

The man finally came down the steps and stood by the light of the cell.

The prison cells in the palace were only temporary places for the detainees, and the whole room was made of stone and deep in the ground, and there were no lights all year round: the lights in the house were not bright, because the prisons were too big.

Xia'er had already sat up, and she heard that the person had arrived not far behind her, but she still paused before speaking: "There are still people coming to see me at this time......"

She turned her head slowly as she spoke—she didn't want to be looked down upon, so she behaved like this.

Unexpectedly, a face that caught her eye made her almost bite her tongue off, and she couldn't say the rest of the words anymore.

At this time, it was really too late, too late, and Xia Er didn't expect to see this person anyway: when she heard a person's footsteps, she guessed that it must be a person with a face in the palace, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to enter the door at this time.

Xia'er's guess was right, but she herself didn't expect the person to be so powerful - the person standing in front of her was the queen mother.

The queen mother was dressed in plain clothes, and she had obviously been washed, but she didn't go to sleep but came to see her, which made Xia'er's heart infinitely grateful.

"Mother, why are you here? It's so late, you should be asleep. She choked up and said the words, and she didn't know if the queen could hear clearly, but she really couldn't control her feelings.

The queen looked at Xia'er, and looked at her quietly, and stood there motionless: there was not a trace of wind in the prison, and the lights were not moving, so that even the shadows on the ground could not stand still.

She stared at Xia'er for a long time before exhaling softly: "You, you actually drugged the prince." A gentle word, although it didn't sound harsh, but Xia'er didn't dare to ignore it.

Xia'er knew very well that her life and death were all in the hands of the queen: "Niangniang, I definitely have no intention of harming the prince." "It's important, she has to make it clear.

The queen shook her head, then again, very slowly, her half-wet hair did not even float a single strand of hair: "Is it still useful to talk about this now?" You, really disappointed Hongu. ”

When Xia'er heard this, a cold sweat almost immediately appeared on her forehead: "Niangniang, I listened to your last teaching, but the time is too urgent, and I really can't think of a way otherwise." ”

"I didn't say that the method you used was not good, and this palace also knew that you didn't have the courage to harm the prince." The queen looked left and right coldly: "Your mistake is a failure-you and the crown prince will not succeed or not, put it aside, what about the princess of Ningguo?" ”

"You didn't hold her handle and let her stay out of the way; And the prince and you have become the things that people are most concerned about, well, this palace thinks that you have taken you and the prince's affairs too seriously. ”

"So you're just going to have to deal with the rest." She stroked her long hair as she spoke, and it felt like it was really drying - to keep track of how long she was in the dungeon.

The queen sighed long: "This palace has always thought that you are a shrewd person, so I will take you with me and cultivate you for many years, and I also expect you to take care of the crown prince for this palace in the future." ”

"It's a pity that you have failed this palace. For so many years, it was already wrong that you didn't let the prince fall in love, and now you are stupid enough to make this palace unbearable. ”

"Such a good way, but also to take your chastity, in the end you actually achieved nothing. You say, "What use does this palace want from you?" ”

The queen's eyes looked at Xia'er calmly, but because she was too calm, that gaze seemed cruel.

Xia'er looked at the queen, her face full of shock: how could the queen be like this? Her aunt couldn't be like this!

The queen has loved her for many years, and loves her more than her parents, how could she say such cold words to her—what use does this palace want from you?!

"Queen Mother, aunt, you, you ......" she opened her mouth but couldn't express what she felt in her heart at all: "Save me, save me, I will definitely let Princess Ningguo get away, so that she can no longer contact the prince." ”

She is still a smart person after all, and she knows that what can impress the queen at this time is definitely not family affection, but interests.
