The emperor's decree shocked the entire harem, the place in the north was originally the birthplace of the royal ancestors of the Jingtang Dynasty, but the climate was very bitter and cold, and the people of that place also came here after the Jingtang River and Mountain were defeated, and the north became a place for exile of the most heinous people.

None of those who were exiled to the north came back alive, either from work or by officers and soldiers or other prisoners, and many of them froze to death in the winter, and were eaten by wild beasts without even bones.

For the people of Jingtang, who have been away from the source of development for hundreds of years, it is a barren place, which is a hellish existence.

It is still difficult for the man to survive after being exiled, not to mention the seriously injured Zhirong, with her physical condition, she may die before she reaches the northern border.

Li You rushed out of the palace and knelt for a day and a night without eating or drinking in front of Li Ji's Qinzheng Palace, letting the rain hit his body, and he just begged from time to time.

"Father, please let Bai Zhirong go, don't exile her to the north, father, son, please!"

Li Ji listened to his son's pleading in the hall unaware, and continued to review the recital. In fact, he didn't want to treat Zhirong at first; Exiled to the north, but the Murong family insisted on Zhirong's death.

As the emperor, he naturally wants to appease the Murong family, which has a lot of military power, and it is cost-effective to sacrifice a Bai Zhirong in exchange for the stability of the Murong family.

However, he was also holding his breath in his heart, the Murong family was indeed becoming more and more arrogant. As an emperor, sometimes he can't even make decisions about the affairs of a harem, and his relatives have to intervene. This is absolutely against his bottom line.

Xia Yunsheng was already speechless, all because the Murong family frequently put pressure on the royal family. Li Ji's eyes were cold. It seems that the Jin family's lesson was not remembered by the Murong family at all.

Li You was still pleading outside, his voice was hoarse. Li Ji stood up impatiently, but inadvertently saw a peach blossom picture on the wall, which was painted by Emperor Wenrui before her death.

Looking at this picture, he remembered the first time Emperor Wen Rui met him and died in his arms. Then I thought of Li You's son. After all, he is still his favorite child.

Li Ji came out of the Qinzheng Palace. Looking at his son's haggard face, he was slightly distressed. "Get up!"

"Father, if you don't agree to your sons, your sons won't get up! Father Bai Zhirong went to the north, and he would have to die! Ask for the mercy of my father! Li You finally rekindled the flame of hope.

Time is pressing, Zhirong will be exiled tomorrow, and he can only plead here. I thought that if my father didn't come out, then tomorrow no matter what, I would take someone to rob Zhirong and send him to a safe place.

Even if my father is angry, it's fine. Even if he abolishes the position of prince, he will have his life, as long as Zhirong can be safe, then it will be worth it.

This is Li You's love: as long as it is for you, I can give everything.

Yet the flame of hope was extinguished. Li Ji said lightly: "I have already given her a way to live." If you plead again, I'll strain her to death right now! ”

"Father!" Li You looked at Li Ji in disbelief. "Bai Zhirong's case is full of suspicions, so the sons and daughters think that the father is too hasty!"

"Presumptuous!" Li Ji was furious, this was a blatant rebellion against him, as an emperor, he would never allow his son to be so disrespectful.

"You intercede for her one more time. I will immediately strain her to death! Tomorrow you get married. You are not allowed to step out of the palace today, otherwise all the people in your palace will die! Someone tied up King Ming and sent him back to the palace to guard him strictly! ”

Li You was tied up by Yu Linwei and walked out of the Qinzheng Palace, and he felt that a certain part of his heart collapsed in an instant. How ridiculous, tomorrow is the day when Zhirong was Liu Fang, but it is also the day of his wedding.

He didn't even see the last side, he raised his head and howled: "Why does God treat us like this!" ”

After Li Ji left, Yubi brought Wen Xin and Wei Ting over, Li Ji thought that they were also here to intercede, and they didn't see them at all.

The three of them knelt down and kowtowed in unison. Yubi said loudly: "Your Majesty." Yubi, the general commander of the embroidery department, asked to see him, but the ministers did not dare to ask the emperor for forgiveness of Bai Zhirong. But after all, there is a master and apprentice, I just ask the emperor to allow us to visit Bai Zhirong today, so that we can say goodbye to her! ”

Li Ji had heard of the relationship between Zhirong and these three people, and after thinking about it, he had already lost his words and Xia Yunsheng, if he was not even allowed to accept Yubi's request, Xia Yunshang would hate him even more after knowing the truth in the future.

"Go and sue Sù Yubi, I granted their request." Li Ji confessed to Zhou's father-in-law.

Yubi and the others finally got permission to go to the dungeon. When I went in to see it, I was terrified. Is the person with blood stains and scars on his face still Zhirong?

The hot body indicates that Zhirong has begun to have a fever, and if it is not treated in time, it will definitely die. The bloodstains on her body showed that her whip marks had not healed.

Wei Ting hurriedly took out the medicine to stop bleeding and medicated Zhirong, and carefully bandaged it.

"How so? Shouldn't this whip mark be healed? Yubi took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe the dirty blood for Zhirong, and Wen Xin called clear handkerchief with water over and over again.

"The pill I fed to Zhirong had the effect of stopping bleeding and healing her flesh and skin, but she seemed to have been poisoned, and this poison did not require human life, but it made the wound not easy to heal and her whole body was painful, and life was worse than death."

Wei Ting took out a few more bottles of medicine, this is her latest antidote, although it can't eradicate Zhirong's poison, but at least it can suppress it.

Wen Xin looked at the whip marks, her disfigured face and Zhirong's bandaged hands, and she couldn't help but shudder even if she was well-informed, a generation of embroidery talents was ruined like this.

Originally, she was disgusted with Zhirong, then jealous, but later she also admired it a little, and during the days when Zhirong was sentenced, she heard that Zhirong was strong and unyielding, but that spirit really convinced her.

"The people of the Murong family are really vicious!" Wen Xin took out a new Jinpa and handed it to Yubi.

Yubi shook her head: "No matter how ruthless the people of the Murong family are, if someone didn't deliberately design and frame them, how could there be so many inexplicable things and evidence?" Now that there is no proof of death, this child can only become a victim! ”

She has been in the palace for many years, and she also understands the affairs of imperial power and military power. So she knew best that Zhirong was just a scapegoat for Li Ji to explain to the Murong family.

The emperor doesn't care who the real culprit is, what he cares about is the power of the major families, balancing the harem, and appeasing the family of the heroes.

Wei Ting was also deeply touched. But now it's too late, she always feels guilty, and there will be no peace in this life. Even if he is exiled, Zhirong must be allowed to survive.

So she has rummaged through all her treasures in the past few days, and finally prepared several medicines that can suppress Zhirong's poison, and allow her to quickly recover her body and heal her wounds.

"Hmm." Zhirong frowned, she thought she had a dream. Meng Yubi and others came to see her. When I opened my eyes, it was pitch black, but it was a warm palm. The anxious voice was so real.

"Zhirong, you're awake, I'm my sister." When Wei Ting hugged her, tears gushed out like a flood that burst the embankment. "Lord Yubi and Wenxin are also here."

No wonder it was so warm that someone really came, and Zhirong's swollen face showed a difficult smile: "I'm so happy." I'll see you before I die! It's a pity that I can't see Master or Yanhua. ”

"No, it won't. There must be a chance, as long as you live, every qiē has a chance, all of them are waiting for you. ”

Wen Xin tried to shake her hands, but found that the hands that were bandaged like two white balls could not be held at all.

Zhirong's eyes were empty, and he was stunned for a long time and smiled sadly: "Isn't Yan Hua married, he won't wait for me." ”

A few people were stunned, but they didn't expect Zhirong to know the news in the dungeon, needless to say, it must have been done by someone from the Yan family.

However. At this time, the hope and meaning of Zhirong's survival are all pinned on Yan Hua, if Yan Hua really becomes a parent. Then she will have no hope, and her will to survive will be greatly weakened, not to mention going to the north, I am afraid that she will not be able to reach the northern region.

"That's all rumors from the outside world, Zhirong, don't you believe Yanhua? You've been through so much with him, don't you even have that kind of trust? He didn't get to save you in time, but he said he was going to the north to kidnap you. With his strength, he will definitely be able to do it! ”

couldn't let Zhirong lose her will, Wei Ting had to make up lies to deceive her.

Wen Xin also understood her intentions and continued: "Yes, this is what Yan Hua said personally, and you don't believe what my brother said?" They're good brothers! Zhirong, you must live, only if you live can you see him! ”

Zhirong wanted to cry, but there were no tears in her eyes. Do you want to believe in Yanhua again? Can it be believed? She was really confused.

"Sister, I'm afraid it's hard for me to live, but I can't rest assured that those girls are gone, please ask my sister to help me take care of them. I have a few shops that I can use to redeem myself at the Bai family after they are sold, and the rest of the money is collected by Sister Yin for me as a few girls' meals. ”

Now Zhirong has seen through life and death, she is not afraid of death, but after she dies, what can Chunhua and the others do, without her protection, they will definitely not end well when they return to the Bai family.

Wei Ting slammed the ground to hide her face and cried, "What are you talking about?" Your sister is mine too! I will keep them safe!" ”

Yubi also said: "Don't worry, I'll come forward from the Bai family, Zhirong has to live, otherwise how sad your master will be!" ”

"It's best for me to come forward from the Bai family, it's inconvenient for Lord Yubi to go out." Wen Xin took over. "Bai Zhirong, you have always regarded yourself as strong, why do you have to give up your life now? How can you be worthy of your own talents and your mother and your ancestors! ”

Wen Xin also heard about Zhirong's mother, and told her that Zhirong was likely to be Shen Zhihua's descendant.

The word mother still touched Zhirong, she only felt sorry for her mother and sorry for herself. In the previous life, it was quite pleasant to pierce the heart with an arrow, but in this life it is such a wolf. Even if you die, it's still a joke.

Zhirong's wounds were all taken care of, and Wei Ting handed her a small bottle of pills: "This can suppress your poison, and when I find the antidote, I will go to the north to find you." You're going to wait for me! ”

Zhirong nodded, how could she not understand the kindness of these people, and deliberately said good things to comfort her. But who can really understand her feelings. Yanhua's betrayal is the most vicious poison in the world, and she is already disheartened

It is said that it has snowed in the north, but her heart is colder than ice.

The three of them couldn't stay too long, so in the end they had to leave their clothes, fox cloaks, and cotton clothes to keep out the cold. Although exiled, you can still take your clothes with you.

Early the next morning, Zhirong was thrown into a dilapidated carriage and left the capital. There were 20 prisoners in exile, and the rest were chained hand and foot, and were driven forward by the officers and soldiers. Some of the prisoners didn't even have shoes.

And Zhirong's ability to take the carriage was a condition for Li You to exchange with Li Ji for a big wedding, and at the same time explained that the officers and soldiers were not allowed to move a finger of Zhirong, otherwise he would never get married.

Although this approach angered Li Ji, it gave Zhirong a chance to live. Li You was not at ease, and at the same time sent a secret guard.

As soon as Zhirong left the palace in the capital, a salute sounded, and under the noise of gongs and drums, Li You numbly married Qiu Manhua.

Wei Ting and Wen Xin stood at the gate of the city with a heavy heart and looked at the team in the distance, this farewell, I don't know when it will be goodbye.

The two were blowing in the dry autumn wind, and this year's autumn style was cold outside.

Suddenly hearing the sound of horses' hooves, they looked back and saw that it was Wen Yu.

"Brother, where are you going?" Wen Xin was surprised to see that Wen Yu was dressed as a long trip and followed by two teams of iron horsemen, the family didn't seem to have a task to send his brother recently.

Wen Yu looked into the distance and changed his previous smiling appearance and said sternly: "King Ming's wedding has been completed, and there is news from the north that the state capital officials over there have been assassinated, and the emperor has agreed with me to investigate the matter and temporarily serve as the executive officer of the state government in the north." ”

"What? You're going north? What should you do if you leave the Wen family? Wen Xin was anxious, Wen Yu was the young master of the Wen family.

"Don't worry, I'll hand over the Wen family to Li You." Wen Yu looked at Wei Ting: "I will take care of Zhirong, don't worry." ”

Wen Xin looked at his brother's departing back in a daze, and took a deep breath: "The ghost believes his words!" There are things like that in the north every year, so why is he going this year. It's not that I can't let go of Zhirong. ”

Wei Ting blinked and asked in surprise, "You mean, Wen Yu is to Zhirong?" ”

"Who knows, but it's always more concerned." Wen Xin looked at the disappearing team helplessly: "Forget it, let him be." Since he can go, it means that everything in Beijing has been arranged. He went to Zhirong to survive. ”

Although Zhirong was in the carriage, her injuries were too severe, and the bumps along the way caused several of her wounds to bloom and bleed.

In the evening, the ranks stopped, and the officers and soldiers set up bonfires and began to cook.

The prisoners, on the other hand, could only drink rice cereal. When a prisoner saw an officer and soldier eating chicken legs, he couldn't help but drool and went to ask for it, and the officer and soldier glared fiercely, and without saying a word, he drew his knife, and the man immediately fell.

Zhirong, who was lying in the carriage, could not see but could smell the smell of blood, and heard the screams of a woman, and vaguely understood.

"Master Jun, I'm tired, have fun, the escort officer of this team has caught a woman and doesn't care if it's in the wild, let alone so many eyes, and commits a horrific atrocity against the woman on the spot, while the other officers and soldiers are laughing and eager to try.

"Hey, I almost forgot there's another one! What a taste! Zhirong's body stiffened, and the man's wicked laughter and disgusting smell drew closer and closer to her. (To be continued......)
