I was walking on the road, and it was on the way to the Heart Cultivation Hall that I met Xinghai: "Slave see Qiao Guiren."

"Get up." I didn't continue to talk and walked over.

"Noble Joe." Luo Xinghai walked in front of me, "The slave wants to say a few words to Qiao Guiren." “

I saw that Luo Xinghai did have something to say, so I followed Xinghai to the side: "What do you say?"

"Niangniang, the thirteenth master asked me to tell you, I'm sorry for that letter, and the emperor has been monitoring you, please be careful." Luo Xinghai.

"What about the Thirteenth Master?" I haven't seen him in the past few days, and it stands to reason that the Thirteenth Master will definitely tell me this kind of thing in person.

"The emperor asked the thirteenth master to go to Zhejiang, there is a flood to deal with there, and it is estimated that it will take more than a month to come back." Luo Xinghai.

Fortunately, the emperor did not impose a heavy penalty.

I was still secretly glad in my heart, "Thank you for suing me, what happened to you and Suning?" “

Luo Xinghai didn't seem to want to answer, but said, "The slave still has to leave beforehand."

Seeing Luo Xinghai leave, I naturally didn't ask much, I was not in the mood myself, how could I think about it so much.

When I came to the palace of nourishing the heart, I saluted: "The concubine will see the emperor."

"My arm is uncomfortable, you come and press it." Emperor.

"Yes." I walked over and massaged the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Master asks to see you." Father-in-law Li came in and said.

What the? How did he get here?

The hand I was massaging also stopped, and Yongzheng noticed my hand and just said, "Xuan."

Grandpa Li: "Yes."

After Gonggong Li went out, the ninth master walked in, knelt down and worshipped: "Brother see the emperor."

"Lao Jiu, you are so bold, you dare to go back to Beijing without being called." The emperor said angrily.

I stood aside and didn't dare to move, and I didn't look good at Jiuye.

Ninth Master: "Brother is guilty, brother Chen, just want to come back and take away my people."

"Ridiculous, this is the reason why you came back, there is no king's law, kneel in my temple for three days, and reflect on it." Emperor.

"Brother obeys." I saw that although the ninth master was talking, he kept staring at me, which made me feel a little distressed.

In the evening, I wanted to go out, but I saw that the maid behind me kept following, "You don't have to follow." “

"Noble Qiao, the emperor has ordered, let the slaves and maids follow inch by inch." The slave Meng Ting said.

I didn't speak, I went back to the room, and after closing the door, I changed into civilian clothes and sneaked out of the window.

Before I came to the ancestral hall, I was suddenly caught, and I was so frightened that I suddenly screamed.

"Shu'er, it's me." Ninth Master.

"Ninth Master? How did you sneak out? I grabbed him and said worriedly.

"Come with me." The Ninth Master pulled me aside and hid in a room that seemed to be empty, as if it was a study. "Xiaohai told me about your affairs, it's all my fault, I should take you away, Shu'er, I'll take you away."

"Nope." I wanted to, too, but it would hurt him.

"You don't have to be afraid of the emperor, anyway, he will attack me sooner or later." Ninth Master.

"However, I am a noble man now, and I can't leave." I cried.

"It's okay, no matter what your identity is, I'll take you away." The Ninth Master grabbed my hand.

"What about Hongli, what about your family? We both went away, leaving everything for them to face, and we couldn't be so selfish. "Me.

Jiu Ye also seemed to think that I was right, and did not continue to force me, I could see that he was also very distressed, and the two of us could only hug each other tightly, I said: "Three days later, go back to Xining, we will not meet again, in this life, I will be responsible for you."

"Shu'er......" The ninth master understood my thoughts and kept hugging me tightly. However, the matter has come to this, and I have no choice, "I still remember our life in the town, at that time, I wished I could keep you there, and I didn't want to be this prince, we lived together like this, had children, and grew old together." ”

I slowly moved my gaze, looked at Jiu Ye's face, and smiled, maybe, these are all self-inflicted, if I could have been more rational at the beginning, maybe, I would have found that Jiu Ye was good to me, and I would also find that I actually like people like Jiu Ye, although they always bully me, but they put me in their hearts.

I stood on tiptoe and kissed the ninth master: Actually, I have always been very cowardly, so I didn't dare to take another step towards you.

Jiu Ye also kissed me back, okay, this may be the last time, let's just let the two of us have a good presumptuousness, just don't leave regrets for yourself.

The two of us went back to where we came from. Before the ninth master entered the temple, he saw Luo Xinghai running out: "Ninth master, the emperor invites you over."

The Ninth Master knew that the emperor was definitely going to make a fuss about this matter.

When he came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, he saw that the emperor was still watching the recital, and the ninth master knelt down: "The courtiers see the emperor."

The emperor put down the fold and said, "Didn't I let you kneel in the temple? Where did you run so late? “

Seeing that the ninth master didn't speak, the emperor was even more angry, "You say it or not." “

Seeing that the Ninth Master did not speak, the emperor walked in front of the Ninth Master and looked down at the Ninth Master: "Are you going to look for her?" Seeing that the Ninth Master was still so horizontal, the emperor said, "She is now my woman."

The ninth master glared at the emperor: "Don't stimulate me, I know, Shu'er has never slept at all, if you want to punish me, you can do it."

Although he was furious, what the Ninth Master said was right, and this sentence hurt his heart even more.

"Spread my will, Yun Yu disobeyed the holy will, hit fifty boards, and put him in prison." Emperor.

The ninth master did not resist, he was beaten hard and imprisoned in the dungeon.

I sat alone in the palace, and I started practicing calligraphy alone when I had nothing to do, which was the best way to pass the time.

"Tenth master, let the slave go to report to the mother." Li Yun'er stopped at all, but she couldn't stop it at all.

"Let's go down." I saw that it was the tenth master and walked over.

"Shu Qiao, save Brother Jiu." Ten masters.

Isn't the ninth master still kneeling in the Zongren Temple? What will happen?

"What the hell is going on?" I.

"Brother Jiu suffered fifty dozen boards last night, and he has not been visited until now, and it is estimated that no one has treated his wounds now." The tenth master said anxiously.

I didn't speak, I immediately ran over and ran all the way to the emperor.

When I heard that the emperor was in Jingren Palace, I ran over and knelt there directly.

Gonggong Li stepped forward and said to the emperor who was drinking bird's nest: "Your Majesty, noble Qiao is kneeling outside."

"What's going on?" The emperor asked lightly.

"The minions don't know." Grandpa Li.

The emperor didn't ask much, and walked out of the door, and the queen also followed. Outside, Yongzheng asked Shu Qiao, "What are you doing here?"

"Your Majesty, please let the Ninth Master go." I fell to my knees.

"Why are you interceding for him?" The emperor seemed to be angry.

"Your Majesty, you should understand, you don't need the concubines to explain it." I.

"Hmph, then you can kneel." The emperor returned to Jingren Palace and sat all the time.

Even if the queen doesn't want to intercede, she can only pretend to be a good person in the emperor: "Your Majesty, Qiao Guiren is also a bull's horn, it's better to call her in, and I'll enlighten her well."

"If she loves to kneel, let her kneel." Emperor.

The queen was actually happy in her heart, but it was not too obvious in her expression: "Suning, go outside and watch, and report in real time."

"Yes." Suning.

Suning retreated, came to the door and saw that Shu Qiao had been kneeling, and Luo Xinghai was already standing there outside.

Suning didn't care about Luo Xinghai, just stood aside and looked at me alone.

The sky was really suitable, and suddenly the clouds were thick, and slowly the rain began to fall heavily, but I still didn't leave, and stayed there all the time.

Gonggong Li looked at the rain outside the door and said, "Your Majesty, this rain has a tendency to fall heavily."

The emperor didn't speak, just sat there, and didn't do anything.

Suning knew that I would always kneel, so I secretly left to find someone who could move me.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rain on my eyelashes made my eyes even heavier when they got wet.

"Eniang, what's wrong with you?" Hongli ran over and knelt beside me.

The rain was so heavy that I was afraid that Hongli would get gonorrhea, so I said loudly, "Go back quickly."

"No, Eniang, is it Huang Ama who punished you, I'll go and plead with Huang Amma." Hongli is about to leave after speaking.

"Stop, if you are your mother, go back to me, and you are not allowed to look for your Amma." I scolded with all my heart.

"Eniang, the minister there is kneeling with you." Hongli also knelt in the rain.

I'm afraid that if he hurts his body at a young age, he won't be good in the future, unlike me, who doesn't want to live in this world for a long time.

"If you don't go back, E-Niang won't recognize you as a son." I scolded this filial son without mercy.

But Hongli didn't speak, and kept kneeling there.

"Why is it so noisy outside?" Emperor.

"Minions go and see." Gonggong Li took a look at it and came back and said, "Your Majesty, the fourth elder brother is also kneeling in the rain."

"What? Go and call him in for me. "Your Majesty.

"Yes." Gonggong Li walked out, came to the door, walked to Hongli's side with an umbrella and leaned over and said, "Fourth elder brother, the emperor told you to go in."

The fourth elder brother stood up and rushed in directly, I was a little worried, but Hongli was the emperor's biological son after all, so he wouldn't do anything to him.

Hongli rushed in and knelt down directly: "Huang Ama, please pardon Eniang."

"Who brought you here?" The emperor said angrily.

Suning knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the slave maid wants the fourth elder brother to persuade the noble Qiao."

"Make your own opinion, come here, drag it out and beat the thirty boards, throw it to Qiao Guiren's side and kneel together." Emperor.

"Your Majesty," Xinghai also knelt down: "This matter was asked by the slave to Aunt Su to do it, if you want to punish it, punish the slave."

"Let's drag it down." Emperor.

"Huang Ama, this is none of their business, please don't punish them." Hongli pleaded on the side.

"Fourth elder brother, don't make your Emperor Ama angry again, you go back first." The queen said on the side.

"Huang Ama......" Hongli wanted to continue, but the emperor blocked Hongli's words: "If you make a mistake, you should be punished, if you don't go back, I will punish you together."

Hongli knew that the emperor was really angry, so he didn't continue, kowtowed, and walked out.

Hongli walked out and knelt beside Shu Qiao: "Eniang, what is there to do with you."

I touched Hongli's cheek, feeling very guilty that in order to save the man I liked, I let my son suffer with me.

Suddenly, a person fell, and I saw that it was Suning, and there was blood all under his waist, and he was still a little dying, and Luo Xinghai also knelt on the side

"What's wrong with you?" I touched Suning's waist.

"The emperor blames us for bringing the fourth elder brother over without permission, let us accompany you to kneel until you get up." Luo Xinghai also lay there and said.

"I'm sorry, I'm the one who bothered you." I.

The emperor walked to the door and looked at the scene in front of him, and said, "Ai Shuqiao, when you are willful, remember to think about Hongli."

After the emperor said this, he left, I looked at Hongli's helpless eyes, looked at the two of them in a pool of blood, I knew that I had no reason to be arrogant, what I wanted to do was to strengthen myself, and I had to be strong to protect the people around me.

After the rain ended, I did catch a cold, and I couldn't move much in bed for two days and two nights.

Eagle also came to see me, but all I knew was that tears were flowing from the corners of my eyes. Without disturbing me, he walked to my desk and saw two lines written on it: "The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly." This means that you long for freedom: it is so painful, it is better for me to give you freedom.

Ying Qi came to the prison and saw that the Ninth Master was still lying there, so he casually threw his bottle of medicinal powder into it: "This is what Shilan wants me to give to you."

The ninth master picked up the bottle on the ground, and he didn't thank him at all.

"Ninth Master, if you really want Shu Qiao's good, don't pester her anymore, otherwise, he won't have his life to live every time." Eagle chess?

The meaning of these words immediately understood the meaning of the ninth master: "Did something happen to Shu'er?"

Yingqi told the whole story from beginning to end, and the ninth master blamed himself in his heart after knowing it: "How did she know about me?" ”

"It was the Tenth Master who said it." Ying Qi looked at the Ninth Master and said, "If you love her, inform your people not to harass her again." ”

After saying that, the eagle chess left, and the ninth master knew in his heart that the only thing he could do was to leave her: Since I promised to leave, you have to live well for yourself.

I slowly opened my eyes, and I already thought very clearly in my heart, this time, I want to be my own master.

"Eniang, you're awake." Hongli brought a bowl of medicine.

I smiled and said that I had nothing to do, "Sister, if I had known that something had happened to you, I would have come to plead with the emperor." ”

"What I'm most afraid of is that you will intercede, if it affects you, I will definitely not have a good time." I sat up and took the bowl in Hongli's hand, I suddenly thought of the two of them, and asked Hongli: "Hongli, how are Suning and Xinghai?" ”

"Xinghai only needs to recuperate for a few days, but Aunt Su is injured and cold, so she can't recuperate for a few days." Hongli.

"What about the emperor?" I asked faintly.

"The emperor is now handling political affairs in the Palace of Raising Hearts." Selan.

"You two go back first, I want to freshen up and go to see the emperor." I.

"Sister, are you alright?" Shilan saw that I was a little expressionless, and my voice was a little cold and scared.

"I'm fine." I looked at Shilan and said.

Although Hongli and Shilan were a little worried, they saw that I looked calm, so they didn't ask more, and just left.

After they were gone, I freshened up, asked the maid to put on her makeup, and respectfully walked to the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Gonggong Li walked to the inner room and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, noble Qiao asks to see you." ”

When the emperor saw the ninth master kneeling on the ground, he was actually very happy, if he could let me see the person he liked kneeling at his feet, it would definitely hit us very hard.

"Call him in." Emperor.

I walked to the emperor's palace under the guidance of Gonggong Li, and saw that there were only three people inside, Ying Qi, Jiu Ye and the emperor, and I saluted: "The concubines see the emperor." ”

"Get up." Emperor.

"Your Majesty." I slowly stood up.

"Why are you here?" The emperor said coldly.

"The concubine collided with the emperor yesterday, and today I am here to ask for sin." I.

"Yesterday I knelt and knelt, and the rain was drenched, so it should be a punishment." Emperor.

"Emperor Xie, the concubines have a banquet today, will the emperor come?" I.

"Go down and get ready." The emperor looked at me in disbelief.

"The concubine retired." I walked out lightly, almost without looking at the ninth master.

The ninth master was very sad to see me like this, but he didn't know what to say, because only by letting go can he protect me.

"Since you have admitted your mistake, you will leave for Xining as soon as you recuperate in the mansion." Emperor.

"Brother obeys." Ninth Master.

It's good to go, you don't need to see me, you don't need to see the emperor, you don't have to suffer, I stepped out of the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, although the sunlight was very dazzling, but I didn't feel it at all, but I was already numb. (To be continued.) )
