The road from the bamboo forest back to the Rui Wangfu is not long, but it is not short, and it is such a distance that is enough for many things to happen.

The long street crisscrossed, and the two roads to the Yamen and the Huirui Wangfu were separated at a fork in the road, Su Ziran walked a few steps quickly in the direction of the Yamen, but the shackles on her heart became heavier and heavier, as if she was going to crush her alive, so she had to put her pace halfway through, until she finally stopped.

Standing in place for a long time, she closed her eyes hard, turned around with difficulty, and returned to the road she had come, and when she came to the fork in the road again, she resolutely walked back in the direction of Rui Wangfu.

She thought that she would definitely choose to go to the yamen without hesitation, only then could she ensure that King Xuan's death was discovered in time, and that the person who died for the sake of the Prime Minister's Mansion would be avenged.

But after hesitating for a long time, she still chose the latter.

If nothing else, she was thinking, what if the man hadn't left when the officers and soldiers passed?

So far, what she is afraid of is that he has not left, and she is afraid that he will be suspected and punished by Emperor Jing because of this, rather than his destruction of the corpse......

It's really crazy.

Walking to the gate of the Rui Wang's Mansion, the crowd arched, the voice was boiling, two rows of officers and soldiers stood neatly, and the one at the front seemed to be talking to the officials of the palace.

Su Ziran froze in place, and a bad premonition arose.

She didn't know why these officers and soldiers came, it shouldn't be for King Xuan's business, the bamboo forest is in a remote area, it shouldn't have been discovered so quickly, but in addition, what else could it be? Could it be that the Prime Minister's Mansion destroyed the door, Emperor Jing already knew that Jun Luohan had been framed by Su Lingchuan before, so he also suspected that he was on the head of King Rui's Mansion?

"Ah......h

The shoulder blade was suddenly buckled, and Su Ziran's instinctive exclamation was also blocked by someone's hand, her eyes opened in amazement, and all kinds of calculations flashed in an instant.

Who is this person?

His cautious movements didn't look like a hijacking, but like an acquaintance joking with her......

The body was pulled aside, and countless faces appeared in Rao is mind, but the moment he turned around and saw that person, he couldn't help but be taken aback: "Xueyan, why are you?" ”

The strength of the man's hand was undiminished, and he didn't seem to realize that he was holding her hand hard at the moment, the expression on his face was panicked, and he said urgently: "Ah Zi, don't go back, just follow me now." ”

Su Ziran frowned, turned his head to look at the scene at the gate of King Rui's Mansion, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, and he said strangely: "What's the matter, what happened?" ”

"These officers and soldiers are here to arrest you, some people say that when they saw that you killed King Xuan, Emperor Jing was furious and sent a large team of people to bring you to justice. I'll ...... you in a moment."

Xue Yan said as he pulled her forward, but she didn't react for a while, she looked back at her suspiciously, and in an instant, all the words were in her throat.

Looking at her pale face in horror, his palms trembled slightly, the bright red on Sakura's lips stung his eyes, and before he realized his movements, his right hand had already picked up her face, carefully wiping away the bright color like a treasure.

"Ah Zi, you ...... What's wrong? Don't scare me......"

The woman in front of her trembled, knowing that she couldn't, but she couldn't help but gently hug her into her arms, why did this person he put on the tip of his heart be hurt again and again?

If he hadn't let go from the beginning, would his current situation be different?

Su Ziran's head was dizzy, and all his thoughts were on his sentence "Some people say that you killed King Xuan".

Some people say, who said?

Who could see her kill King Xuan with her own hands!

The man was already there when she went, and the man hadn't left when she left, so what chance did she have to kill King Xuan? She didn't even get a chance to get closer!

Who was going to kill her, who was going to kill her?

"Xueyan ......" she choked her throat, she was exhausted after only half a day's work, and said in a hoarse voice: "You say, why did he do this to me?" ”

Who this "he" is, although he didn't say it explicitly, Xue Yan still vaguely guessed it in his heart.

Who else could hurt her like this, but that man?

"Ah Zi, don't worry about these for now, go back with me, and leave the rest to me, okay?"

Ban Xiang didn't hear her answer, his heart couldn't help but turn cold inch by inch, only by tightening the person in his arms tighter and tighter could he feel that he was still alive.

Su Ziran didn't push him away, maybe she understood Xue Yan's mood at the moment, just as her own heart was turning to ashes at the moment.

The pain was so extreme that it could not be described in words.

Her body burned suddenly, her breath stagnated, she turned back suddenly, and instantly crashed into a pair of bottomless dark phoenix eyes. The ink pupils flowed, twisting coldly, angry, sullen, and a trace of inexplicable complexity, and the blue tendons were vaguely visible at the corners of his forehead, as if he was trying to restrain a strong emotion.

Wrath?

Su Ziran couldn't help but want to laugh again, what was he angry about, did she come back early enough and asked those officers and soldiers to wait so long in vain?

was about to pick up a step, but suddenly realized that his arm was still grabbed by Xue Yan, so he had to turn around and look at him apologetically: "Xue Yan, although I don't know why you are here, just as I don't know why you can always appear by my side when I am in danger, but I know that you will never harm me, you are like a god specially sent by God to protect me." I don't know what good things I did in my last life, and I can meet a ...... you in this life."

"Ah Zi ......"

"Thank you so much, only this time, I can't go with you."

He didn't nod or shake his head, he just looked at her steadily, but Su Ziran knew that he was silently expressing his refusal - the strength on his arm did not disappear at all, but increased by two points, this was the first time he had treated her with such a resolute attitude, every time in the past, no matter what she wanted to do, he would never stop it.

"Xueyan, if it is really as you said, the emperor ordered me to be taken and killed the prince for such a big crime, how can I escape? If I can't return my innocence, do you want me to hide in the hidden domain of the Mingyou clan for the rest of my life? ”

The hand holding her trembled slightly, but the strength gradually loosened a little, he knew her helplessness, and also knew that another reason why she did this was that she didn't want to implicate Rui Wangfu, this stupid woman, when would she think about herself?

"Ah Zi, no matter what, as long as you don't admit this matter, Emperor Jing can't convict you. You wait for me, and I'll come back to save you. As if he was a little worried about her, at the end, he added viciously, "You must wait for me, you know?" ”

"Okay." She nodded, squeezing out a stiff smile, it was not up to her to wait or not, sometimes the emperor said that if she wanted to live, if she died, she would die.

The strength on her arm suddenly disappeared, and even the warm touch disappeared as she walked in the opposite direction step by step.

Facing the white robe at the gate of the palace, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and the reflection in his eyes was the delicate shadow of her step-by-step lotus, and as she gradually approached, a trace of worry flashed in his angry eyes, which was fleeting.

Everyone seemed to realize his eyes in full swing at this time, and they were all surprised by his gaze, and when they saw that it was her, those officers and soldiers were shocked, and the spears in their hands were brushed to the ground.

Su Ziran raised her eyebrows, thinking self-deprecatingly, she is not a flood beast, even if she really "killed" King Xuan, they don't have to react so much, right?

Slowly hooking her lips, she deliberately pretended not to know anything, and asked with a smile: "Lord Wang, are these people here to wait for the concubine to return home?" ”

The people of Qingfeng Ju also stood there, all looking uneasy, as if they wanted to rush over and ask her what was going on, but they were stopped by the rest of the palace.

The leading officers and soldiers seemed to have reacted at this time, and strode up to her without waiting for the man to speak, although his attitude was not slack, but he was not as respectful as before: "Princess Rui, someone has reported that you killed King Xuan, the emperor has an order, Princess Xuanrui is here, and I also ask Princess Rui to cooperate and go with my subordinates." ”

"Oh, I see." She nodded half-truthfully, as if casually glancing at the man at the gate, and suddenly realized that his eyebrows were twisted deeper, but the bottom of her cold heart had no time to think about why he was like this.

Suddenly, the man's expression was grim, and he walked down the steps in a few steps, crossed the crowd to her side, and stood firmly in front of her.

Su Ziran was stunned, but saw that his eyes were slightly condensed, and his gaze did not fall on her, as if he was looking at someone through her, so he followed his sharp gaze and looked into the distance, slowly passing in the direction where she and Xue Yan were standing, but found that there was no one there.

She didn't pay attention to his strange behavior, and said to the person who was ordered to come to arrest her: "Didn't you say that you were going to see the emperor, why didn't you leave?" ”

The man originally thought that King Rui would come to stop him, or that the two of them had something to say, so he stood aside and waited. Hearing this, she was suddenly shocked, and glanced at the man beside her in confusion, as if she had the intention of inquiring.

In just a moment's effort, Su Ziran had already turned around and walked in the direction of the palace gate, and his voice was deep: "Since the adults don't plan to lead the way, then I'll go by myself." ”

Suddenly, he hurriedly said "The prince forgives the sin" behind him, and surrounded her with neat soldiers, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

The footsteps in her ears swept by, and a gust of wind blocked her in front of her, and the road in front of her was obscured by a long figure, casting a heavy shadow on the ground.

Su Ziran frowned, and finally showed a little impatience: "What does Prince Rui mean by this, didn't you hear that they were ordered by the emperor to take me back to meet me?" ”
