The crowd was in an uproar. Shun Zhaoyi breathed a sigh of relief: for several days, she has been worried about Xu Cairen's affairs, and now the truth is finally revealed, and one of her thoughts has been settled.

"Since it's all your idea, why did you frame your master?"

The queen said angrily.

"Chanjuan, why are you doing this?"

Concubine Zhi only felt a burst of heartache and asked weakly.

Chanjuan sighed lightly, looked at Concubine Zhi and said lightly: "Originally, I didn't want to do this." However, when I decided to seek revenge on Xu Huaiying, I thought of today. If God has no eyes and the matter is revealed one day, then I have no choice but to push you out to take the blame for me. For the sake of our Hong family, for my father's deep hatred, I can only make some sacrifices ruthlessly. ”

"You ......"

Concubine Zhi suddenly became angry, and pointed at her trembling all over, "You are so ruthless!" ”

Chanjuan smiled faintly: "Niangniang, since ancient times, those who have become big things are not informal, and I have no choice, I'm sorry." ”

"Chanjuan, why are you doing this?"

Xu Cairen lamented.

"Shut up!"

Chanjuan screamed, and everyone was shocked.

She said sharply: "Xu Huaiying, your father harmed my whole family, and my father and daughter paid their debts, did I do anything wrong?" ”

Xu Cairen was stunned for a moment, then looked directly at Chanjuan, and explained in a deep voice: "Chanjuan, you are also from an official family, you should be knowledgeable." Your father's crime of corruption and bribery is obvious, and my father is just impartially handling the people's request for their lives, how can you say that my father harmed your whole family? ”

Chanjuan was stunned: "You, you ......"

Xu Cairen continued: "You still say that God has no eyes? If God has no eyes, your father will not bow to the law; If God has no eyes, there will be one more corrupt official in the court; If God has no eyes, Concubine Zhi will become your scapegoat today. Although you say you don't care, is your conscience really okay? It is God's eyes that will stop you from adding more sins in time. As a royal historian, my father is responsible for exposing illegal officials, and my father is just doing his duty. Chanjuan, ask yourself, don't you know anything about your father's crimes? ”

When Chanjuan heard this, her body shook and she looked away.

Xu Cairen knew that Chanjuan actually knew how to distinguish between right and wrong, but it was only because of family feuds, so she said softly: "Chanjuan, I know that you are not an arrogant and unreasonable person, but because you are vengeful, you will be deceived for a while." Now that things are clear, it's still too late for you to turn back, so stop being obsessed. How about I ask the queen for you to intercede and forgive you of your sins? ”

"Huaiying, how can she be exonerated if she caused you to be like this?"

Shun Zhaoyi was shocked and anxious, and hurriedly shouted.

","

Xu Cairen shook his head slightly, "The reason why she did this is just to hope that my body will be weak from now on, and life is better than death, but she never thought of taking my life after all!" ”

Chanjuan couldn't help but glance at her, and her eyes were covered with a layer of fog, and she sighed with emotion.

"But,"

Shun Zhaoyi frowned, "Isn't life worse than death?" Her trick is clearly more vicious than taking your life! ”

The queen and the concubine glanced at each other, and couldn't help but secretly agree, and everyone felt that Shun Zhaoyi had pointed to the most important place.

Xu Cairen's body stiffened, and Chanjuan was silent.

The queen sighed lightly: "Okay, since everything is clear, no matter what, I must give an explanation to His Majesty." ”

She thought about it slightly, and finally made up her mind, "Chanjuan is already guilty, not thinking about living in peace, but digging out her mind to take revenge, causing Xu Cairen to suffer for more than a year, and now that the matter is exposed, she even wants to frame others in order to get out, and after being exposed, she has no guilt, and her treacherous heart can be seen, even if Xu Cairen intercedes, the palace cannot sentence Chanjuan lightly." ”

"Mother's ......"

Xu Cairen was anxious, but was intercepted by the queen and said, "There is no need to say more. However, this palace can promise you to spare her life. Capital sins can be avoided, but living sins cannot be escaped. ”

Xu Cairen suddenly exhaled heavily, feeling very pleased: "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

Then he looked at Chanjuan: "It's better to die than to live, why don't you hurry up and thank the queen?" ”

Chanjuan said lightly: "Dare to ask the queen mother, what are you going to do with me?" ”

The queen didn't care about the etiquette with her, and Zhengse replied: "Such a big crime is indispensable for a hundred rods." You can't stay in this palace, I'm afraid you'll have to be exiled to the north of the country. ”

After all, she couldn't bear it, and sighed, "Chanjuan, you must know that this kind of punishment is already the lightest." But no matter what, it's important to survive. At this point, this palace assures Xu Cairen and you that even if His Majesty is angry, this palace will try its best to protect your life. ”

Everyone sighed: At this point, Chanjuan was able to avoid the death penalty, and she should thank God for the gods and Buddhas.

Shun Zhaoyi looked at Chanjuan and then at Xu Cairen, and secretly helpless: she has always treated Xu Cairen as her own sister, and she originally planned to strongly advocate that Chanjuan be punished for her grievances, but she never thought that Xu Cairen was so generous that she was willing to let her go.

Even the parties concerned have relented, what can she do?

Chanjuan laughed loudly, and there was indescribable grief and pain in her laughter.

Xu Cairen was so shocked that he hurriedly asked, "Chanjuan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Chanjuan finally put away her smile, let out a long sigh, wiped away the tears on her face, looked at Xu Cairen deeply, and said slowly: "Xu Cairen, you are right, I was blinded by hatred, and I will be wrong again and again." No matter what the grievances between my Hong family and your Xu family are, you are innocent after all, and I am sorry for you. ”

After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed to her respectfully.

"What are you doing here? Hurry up! Even if I blamed you at first, I didn't hold a grudge against you in my heart! ”

Xu Cairen hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

Chanjuan got up slowly, and when she looked at her again, there was no longer the previous fierce resentment in her eyes, but instead there was warmth and softness: "I knew this was the case, why did I bother to harm you?" If I can do it all over again, I will definitely live here with peace of mind. ”

After that, she kowtowed to Concubine Zhi again: "Niangniang, I'm sorry, I hate it too much, but I forgot that I have a conscience in the end, I don't dare to ask for your forgiveness." ”

Concubine Zhi was originally angry, but at this moment, after listening to Chanjuan's conversation, and seeing her sincerely admit her mistakes, her heart ached suddenly, her eyes turned red, and she rushed forward to help her: "You and I are such a bad master and servant, you have been in my Zhihua Palace for a few years, how can I not know what kind of person you are?" Stop beating yourself up. ”

Chanjuan nodded seriously: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

She looked at the queen again: "Dare to ask the queen, is my fate really exiled after being tortured?" ”

Everyone also looked at the queen.

I saw that the queen was full of emotion, and said slowly: "If it is according to the palace rules, it is okay to sentence you to death." Chanjuan, in fact, how can this palace be willing to punish you like this? ”

Chanjuan sighed and nodded seriously: "I know, I know." I have made such a big mistake, and I don't want to judge myself lightly. What's more, my so-called enemies would intercede for me. Alas, I really don't know, what have I been living for the past three years? ”

She took two steps back, looked around, and finally stopped at Xu Cairen, revealing a wry smile: "Back then, my father committed a big crime, and my Hong family was ruined, and I had no love for a long time, but I survived with revenge." Now that I don't even have hatred, what can I live on? ”

"Chanjuan, you ......"

Xu Cai's heart sank, and he had an ominous premonition.

However, before she could finish speaking, she suddenly saw Chanjuan pull out a short dagger out of nowhere and rest it on her heart!

Everyone was shocked and screamed in unison.

The queen gasped, "Poof"

The ground jumped up and said in a panic: "Chanjuan, don't do anything stupid!" ”

Shun Zhaoyi and Concubine Shu couldn't help but stand up and carefully persuade.

Xu Cairen's eyes darkened, and he was so anxious that he cried: "Chanjuan, what are you doing here?" Will you put the knife down? It's better to die than to live, have you forgotten? ”

Chanjuan smiled sadly, tears streaming down her face: "Xu Cairen, Sister Xu, you and I were both born in official families, and you are a few years older than me, I dare to call you sister, don't mind." ”

"How could it be? Good sister, you put down the knife first, put it down and let's talk slowly. ”

Xu Cairen nodded again and again and said in a trembling voice.

Chanjuan shook her head while crying: "Are you still willing to call me a sister at this time?" Okay, okay, Sister Xu, thank you for ignoring your past suspicions. I have had no brothers and sisters since I was a child, and if there is an afterlife, I would like to be a real sister with you. ”

"Good, good,"

Xu Cairen was about to faint, "Chanjuan, I'm willing, I'm willing!" Don't talk about the next life, just this life! ”

"Thank you."

A gentle smile bloomed on Chanjuan's face, "It turns out that I have been to this world once, but it is still not in vain." ”

"No, no, of course not, you still have to live well, don't you?"

Xu Cairen said urgently.

Chanjuan shook her head: "No, I have already sinned, can I still live in peace?" What's more, even if you can really distribute side plugs, what is the difference between it and death? It's better to live than to die, right? When I get down there, I can still be reunited with my family, right? It's better than being alone in this world. ”

"Chanjuan!"

Xu Cairen shouted, "How can you say that? Didn't you say I was your sister? Will we sisters take care of each other in the future? ”

Chanjuan burst into tears and looked at her with a smile: "Sister, let's come to life!" ”

As soon as the words fell, she heard a muffled snort, and the snowy dagger had already sunk into her heart in the blink of an eye, and only the hilt of the knife remained.

Xu Cairen screamed and fainted.
