"The emperor is really wise and martial, the minister heard that Xia Ruqian has compromised, congratulations to the emperor!" Ji Hui arched his hand and congratulated.
"I also want to thank Aiqing for her clever calculation, Ji Hui, you are really the lucky star of my dynasty. I'm going to reward you! Say, what do you want? ”
"Sharing worries for the emperor is a matter within the minister's share, and the minister has nothing to ask for."
"Hahahaha, that's a good point, but you are the first merit, I will not forget it, and when the dust settles on this matter, I will have a heavy reward!"
"Thank you, Lord Long." Ji Hui immediately knelt down and bowed to Shane.
"Haha, get up!"
"Emperor Xie," Ji Hui stood up and said, "The minister still has one more matter." ”
"Say it."
"The minister heard that the princess's hand was broken, if the nine princes saw the clues during the confrontation, it would be a great disadvantage, it would be a great disadvantage, it would be better for the emperor to be gracious, and the imperial doctor Xuan would go to see it, and let the princess feel the majesty of the emperor's grace."
"yes, that's right."
Private Prison.
Xia Ruqian sat sluggishly in the dark corner, feeling that she was also dirty.
The faces of the Nine Princes and Liuli turned over and over in their minds, lingering.
What should I do to protect the prince and keep my mother from being harmed?!
I have promised the emperor and stabilized the emperor, so my mother will not have to worry about her life.
If he had told the truth on the day of the confrontation in the court, and the prince had not rebelled, wouldn't he have also saved the prince? !
seemed to have found a ray of light, and Xia Ruqian became excited.
A imperial doctor brought a medical woman in to treat Xia Ruqian's hand injury.
"Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor," Xia Ruqian grabbed the corner of the Imperial Doctor's clothes and knelt down: "My name is Xia Ruqian, I am the princess of the Ninth Prince, can I bother you and help me deliver a letter to the Ninth Prince, don't worry, I didn't ask him to save me, so I will definitely not implicate you, I just need you to tell him a word!" Doctor, I beg you! ”
"Hurry up, the old man is just a doctor, and he can only decoct medicine to see a doctor. Please don't embarrass the old man. The imperial doctor grabbed Xia Ruqian, ignored her pleading, and helped her up.
Xia Ruqian sighed and stood up in frustration, but when she saw the medical woman, she immediately covered her mouth in surprise.
It was, it was Su Yu.
"Su Yu?" Xia Ruqian was so surprised that she almost burst into tears.
"Shh Su Yu looked outside and whispered, "Be quiet, don't let the outside hear it." How about you, bastards, who broke your hands, and I won't spare them. ”
"It doesn't matter if I have my hand, Su Yu, you must help me go to the palace and tell the prince that I will not give false testimony that he is plotting rebellion." Xia Ruqian grabbed Su Yu's hand and held it tightly: "The emperor spread rumors that I denounced the prince, on the one hand, he wanted me to be in a helpless place, and I could only take refuge in him to protect myself, and on the other hand, he wanted to separate us. I didn't obey, but he actually threatened me with my mother's life, Su Yu, I have promised the emperor, but please tell the prince, I just said that to save my mother, but I won't do that. ”
"Xia Ruqian." When Su Yu heard this, he suddenly became angry: "You are already like this, what are you still worried about the prince?" He's in the palace now, but what about you? Hands are broken! Is it worth it? Is it worth it! ”
"Su Yu, don't be angry, I'm fine, don't you see that there is a doctor to treat me?" Xia Ruqian hurriedly comforted: "If the emperor wants me to testify, he won't embarrass me too much, if I am covered in injuries, I will be suspected of being beaten into a trick, so he doesn't dare to do anything to me." ”
"But, have you ever thought that if you don't recruit, what will happen to the emperor?" Su Yu's face turned pale, and he spoke word by word: "When you are alive and not useful when you die, will the emperor spare your life?" ”
Xia Ruqian looked at Su Yu, and tears fell out of her eyes at once: "What do you mean is that if I just don't cooperate, the emperor will kill me, leaving only that confession." Although only the confession is very pale, it is better than not cooperating. Right? Su Yu, am I going to die? Su Yu, I'm going to die, right? ”
"It's all my fault if I don't cry, it's all my fault." Su Yu hugged Xia Ruqian into his arms: "I won't let you die." You wait for me, and I will get you out. Su Yu looked at Xia Ruqian, knowing what she was worried about, and said, "I will also go to the palace for you, don't worry." ”
Since Su Yu came, Xia Ruqian has thought a lot.
If one person must die in order to save everyone, then she is willing to be herself.
is not a person of this world, and he should not covet the warmth of this world.
Maybe you can even travel back in time!
Xia Ruqian thought self-deprecatingly.
However, there are still many reluctances.
Xia Ruqian leaned against the wall, recalling the bits and pieces of coming here, and slowly fell asleep.
When Liuli sneaked in with great difficulty, Xia Ruqian was leaning against the wall, sleeping soundly.
"Wake up, wake up." Liuli lay on Xia Ruqian's side, pushing Xia Ruqian, and sighed in her heart, she was so idle, didn't she really betray the prince.
Xia Ruqian felt that someone was urging him, rubbed his eyes, and woke up.
"Brother Ruri." Xia Ruqian was very surprised: "Su Yu has been to the palace?" So fast. How's the palace going? The prince knows everything, right? ”
"Don't talk about anything else." Liuli obviously didn't hear Xia Ruqian's words, he had a pair of red eyes, and asked, "You only told me one word, did you really betray the prince?" ”
"What?" Xia Ruqian was suddenly stupid, didn't Su Yu go to the palace yet? Otherwise, how could Liuli still ask herself like this. She looked at Liuli, and her heart was turbulent, even if Su Yu didn't go to the palace, Liuli should believe in herself: "Don't you believe me either?" Am I that kind of person? I call you brother, why don't you even believe me? I promised the emperor, but it was to save my mother, so I pretended to promise him, I would never betray the prince, I would rather die myself! ”
"Shallow, don't be angry, don't cry, of course I believe you, I asked you because I believed in you!" Liuli saw that Xia Ru's tears were falling, and hurriedly said: "If I didn't believe you, how could I fall out with them and run out angrily!" However, I still have to ask you in person to rest assured. Ruri said excitedly.
"You fell out with them?" Xia Ruqian heard Liuli's words, a little moved, but also a little worried: "Brother Liuli, you shouldn't be so impulsive." ”
"How can you not be impulsive, as soon as the news reached the palace, the palace suddenly exploded. Xue Chenrui's kid, what kind of wolf cub who can't be raised, what kind of human-faced beast heart, not as good as a beast, how can I bear it?! If it weren't for the prince's presence, I would have fought with him a long time ago, and it would be impossible not to fall out. The prince was the same, he sat there all the time, not saying a word. (To be continued.) )
