Ruyue's footsteps were fast and urgent, accompanied by the sound of her "knock" footsteps, thinking that the queen mother might be under house arrest by Yu Wenhua's people, she carefully twisted the switch, trying not to make a sound, and walked in on tiptoe to meet Cuizhu's surprised face.

"Gong~" Seeing that Cuizhu was about to cry out, Ruyue quickly covered Cuizhu's mouth and signaled Cuizhu to make her voice quieter.

Cuizhu nodded, and Ruyue cautiously walked towards the outhouse, the shadow of a soldier vaguely outside the door.

"Where's the mother?" Ruyue lowered her voice.

"In the meditation room." Cuizhu replied quickly.

"Don't worry, Ruyue will save you from the city." After speaking, he tiptoed into the meditation room under the cover of Cuizhu.

The meditation room is narrow and dark, a faint lantern, at this moment is already smoky, there is a clear sound of wooden fish remembers, the figure of Xiao Hou looms in the meditation room, and even the incense lit by the three pillars is not real.

"Ahem......" couldn't help coughing a few times, and the beating sound of the wooden fish stopped. Empress Xiao kowtowed a few times to the kind-eyed Bodhisattva.

"Niangniang......" Ruyue ran over, Cuizhu stayed outside the door in case of accidents, "Yuwen Cheng is the opposite, run away with Ruyue!" The saint has already noticed Yu Wenhua's ambitions, and secretly cultivated the secret path, let's go with Ruyue......"

"What about the emperor?" Empress Xiao's tone finally had waves, and her eyes moved to Ruyue.

"The Holy One refuses to go...... Ruyue has also been persuading for a long time......" Ruyue continued to persuade the queen mother bitterly, "Niangniang can't learn from the royal brother...... This moment cannot be delayed......"

"He's not leaving, is he?" Empress Xiao seemed to mumble to herself, clasped her palms at the Bodhisattva, and then kowtowed a few more times, "The Bodhisattva's mercy finally satisfies the villain's most reluctant wish......"

"What nonsense is Niangniang talking about...... Seeing the stubbornness of these two people, he reluctantly wanted to take Empress Xiao away, and stretched out his hands to pull Empress Xiao to get up.

"Smack~" Some cold liquid dripped on his hands, and the smell of blood filled the room.

Ruyue lowered her head, and a sharp knife had been inserted into Empress Xiao's abdomen.

"Queen Mother!" Ruyue screamed out of her voice. Cuizhu also hurriedly walked in when he heard the sound, only to see that Empress Xiao had a weak breath in Ruyue's arms, and blood continued to flow from Empress Xiao's abdomen.

"!" Cuizhu knelt down.

"You ...... Ahem...... Don't panic...... "Empress Xiao weakly stretched out a hand, wanting to touch Ruyue's face, but was held by Ruyue, "This has been the truth of husbands and wives since ancient times...... He...... He died here...... How can this palace have a reason to survive......"

"!" There were already tears left under Ruyue's eyes, as if it was this night, Ruyue experienced thousands of life and death.

"Ahem...... The princess ......" Empress Xiao held Ruyue's hand, "You are really good-looking...... Such a look...... Hongu has been jealous all his life......"

"Mother's ......"

"Princess...... Live well...... Take good care of Xuan'er, she is still so young, and her father doesn't love it...... Now even my mother is gone......" The intermittent sentence floated out of Xiao Hou's mouth, "You have to forgive her for whatever she does...... There are only two of you left in the Yang family's bloodline...... Xuan'er is so stupid again...... Princess, you must live well...... Walk through the mountains and rivers...... Swim all over the river...... What kind of legend does the people of the Yang family have in the future......"

"Niangniang......" Ruyue couldn't cry anymore, and even Cuizhu, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but sob.

"Princess...... cough cough ...... "More and more blood gushed out, and Empress Xiao's face became more and more pale, "Actually, this palace is very happy...... In the secret passage he built...... There's not just one door to your dormitory...... Presumably he hasn't gone far...... Holy ...... Holy ...... Finally there is time...... Let's talk about the old days...... Hongu ...... This palace must be going to apologize...... Back then, even if I saw it...... Seeing things that shouldn't be seen...... Also...... Also...... and pretend to be ...... Pretend you don't see it...... That's it...... It's hypocrisy...... It's better than a lonely life...... Hongu is very ...... I regret it...... Shredded...... You...... Your mother...... Target...... Costume ...... I regret it......

Empress Xiao's breath became weaker and weaker, and her hand holding Ruyue became weaker and weaker, and finally fell weakly...... "Niangniang!" Cuizhu and Ruyue knelt beside Empress Xiao's gradually cold body, crying bitterly......

Ruyue lowered her head, Empress Xiao in her arms did not have any pain of death, but a look of tranquility and satisfaction, Ruyue tightly leaked Empress Xiao in her arms, this woman, for her own royal brother, willing to be imprisoned in the cold palace for the rest of her life, she was young and ignorant, relying on pampering, cut the most beautiful dance clothes of Yang Guang's loved person, since then she has atoned for this move for life, he punished her, snubbed her, resented her, but also knew that for so many years, the warbler Yanyan around him was not the glory and wealth of the picture, only her, is wholeheartedly his wife, not the queen of the Great Sui Dynasty, in the end she still doesn't love her, but she was moved by this woman's infatuation, and at the last moment, she finally wanted to leave a way for her to live......

Cuizhu looked at his master, although he had served the queen for so long, in the end he still regarded Princess Ruyue as his unique master in his heart, Cuizhu had always been timid, but now he also understood that this was an extraordinary time.

"Princess, you come with the slave." Ruyue gently put down Xiao Hou and let her lean against the Bodhisattva's feet.

Cuizhu carefully handled the blood stains on the ground, including Ruyue's body.

Following Cuizhu to the entrance of the secret passage, Ruyue turned around: "In the end, you have also followed Ruxing and the queen successively, they are all people close to Ruyue, follow the palace." ”

"Plop!" Cuizhu knelt on the ground, with tears in the corners of her eyes: "Princess Qiyu, Cuizhu was the most unfavored maid beside Concubine Yin, Concubine Yin has a strange temperament, and she has to punish the slave and maid every once in a while, it is the princess who does not hesitate to offend Concubine Yin and save the slave, I heard Sister Donghua say that the princess was stabbed by Concubine Yin for the sake of the slave, the princess is very kind, and Cuizhu has nothing to reciprocate." ”

"This is not the time for kind words." Ruyue leaned down and helped Cuizhu up, "This palace knows that you are grateful, I'm afraid that Ruyue, the princess, is going to do it, and in the future, we will not distinguish between high and low, like sisters, run away with Ruyue~"

"Slaves and maids are clumsy by nature, even training will not help, and it will be a burden if they follow the princess." Cuizhu refused to get up, "But if the prime minister's people see Niangniang's tragic death and the maid escapes, they must also send someone to search and hunt for them, Cuizhu wants to stay, testify that Niangniang committed suicide, so that the princess can escape smoothly, and Niangniang treats Cuizhu well, and she can't be left alone after death......"

"Cuizhu ......" Ruyue looked at Cuizhu's face was already like white paper, and even her lips had lost their color...... Just to protect yourself, "But this palace can't let you lose your life here alone......"

Cuizhu suddenly changed color and shouted loudly: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

The people outside the door heard the movement, and there was already movement.

"Slaves won't go! If the princess doesn't leave, she will be buried with the slave and maid! Before she died, Niangniang gave Princess Xuan to the princess, does the princess want to ignore Princess Xuan for the sake of the slave?! ”

Someone had already pushed the door in, and Ruyue had to bite her lip: "Presumably, Yu Wenhua must not dare to rebel in a big way, the mother is dead, etiquette is indispensable, and you are willing to go to the tomb to save your life!" ”

After that, he glanced at Cuizhu: "Take care!" ”

I had to go into the secret passage and twist the switch.

Tears flowed out of Cuizhu's eyes: "Princess, take care ......"

The wall returned to its original appearance, but Ruyue looked at the empty wall, tears gushed out, mother, if you didn't enter the palace at the beginning, or if the person you promised was the emperor's brother, would all this be different?

It is said that the emperor is ruthless and the harem is ruthless, but looking at Yang Guang and Empress Xiao, everyone only said that he was arrogant and luxurious, and the harem was three thousand, and everyone only said that she was old and yellow, and she was cold in the back palace, but the affection of these two people was no longer known......

Ruyue thought that she finally understood why Sima Qian ignored the palace punishment and insisted on recording it in the "Historical Records", maybe it was not exactly his father's will, or it was his own dream, maybe in that equally prosperous Han Dynasty, there were such moving stories that no one could understand, and he could only suppress his mood at that time and write it down for future generations to comment......

"Princess!" Ruyue was obviously trapped in his own memories, and Gonggong Yuan twisted his fat body, the journey was not short, but it made him sweaty and out of breath.

Ruyue looked behind her, but there was no shadow of Yang Lin.

"Where's Uncle Huang?" Ruyue opened her mouth to ask, but her heart suddenly pinched, "Didn't you encounter something unexpected?" ”

"The prince refuses to come." Gonggong Yuan wiped his forehead, "The slave spent a long time on his strength, but the prince drank a little wine and refused to go with the slave for anything." ”

"Did you make it clear that it was the will of God?"

"The slave not only said the saint, but also moved out the princess, but the prince's answer was: The saint has just made a decree for the old man to preside over the hero conference, what about the father-in-law's holy decree?" Gonggong Yuan said with an angry face, "The slave is simply looking for excitement!" ”

"I'll go and ask him." After Ruyue finished speaking, she wanted to bypass Yuan Gonggong, but was pulled by Yuan Gonggong.

"Princess, the prince deliberately didn't leave, it's useless for you to go, the prince asked me to bring you a message: This hero conference is a face-showing thing, it's much more interesting than fleeing with the princess, I can't let the first emperor cover the limelight, and lose face with Mrs. Liu Yu! Besides, the prince has been put under house arrest by Yu Wenhua, and this hero post has also been posted, if he leaves for no reason, Prime Minister Yuwen will dig three feet into the ground and find us! The slave can't guess the prince's intentions, but the slave knows that the prince is iron-hearted and doesn't want to affect the princess! ”

Ruyue pondered the words of Yuan Gonggong, and finally made up her mind for a while: "Let's go!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, and Gonggong Yuan hurriedly followed behind her.
