Three days later, news came from the palace that the national teacher was seriously ill and in danger, and there was a sudden turmoil in the court. The old minister who was attached to the national teacher was panicked, for fear that if the master died, he would be unlucky. For a while, a few officials saw that the momentum was not right, and they hurriedly turned the wind and sat down with Jingyu to express their intentions.

The first person to be suppressed was Lord Lin Yanlin, who sat down under the national teacher, who used his power for personal gain and colluded with courtiers, and his heart was not treacherous.

On the second day of Lin Chen's imprisonment, Su Qinghui ushered in an old man who had not been seen for a long time.

Looking at the person who came, Su Qinghui was full of surprise and joy: "Sister, why are you here?" ”

"Su'er, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Yes, since last year's farewell, Su Qinghui hasn't seen her for a long time, she poured tea and said: "Sister is a rare guest, I remember that after that, I missed my sister and went once, but I was trained by my brother." ”

There was a sound beside him, and Su Qinghui opened the pot and said in surprise: "Sister Ling Se, what are you doing, hurry up." ”

"Su'er, sister, please, just help me this time, okay to save Yingmo?"

Su Qinghui suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart: "Yingmo."

Ling Se couldn't stop crying, and his voice trembled: "Yingmo, he has always been in front of you." ”

Su Qinghui spoke out with difficulty: "Lin Chen, Lord Lin"

Ling Se nodded, Su Qinghui clenched his fists, so it made sense, why did he come to the rescue in the Zhao Mansion, and why did he hide the real cause of death of the two corpses by the river. Why did he delay reporting her news even though he found out about her, it turned out that there was a reason for it a long time ago.

But Ling Se is far away from Beijing, and she never leaves that place all year round, Lin Chen and Ah Ting protect her so well, how could they easily let the news reach her.

Thinking of this, Su Qinghui stood up abruptly and took a few steps back: "Sister, how did you know this news?" ”

"It was the little guy in the Yingmo Mansion who said it, I didn't believe it, but I couldn't rest assured, so I hid it from Ah and heard it, just to ask for peace of mind, but I didn't know it was true until I saw the notice on the wall."

Su Qinghui said softly: "But sister, you said that no matter what Ying Mo does, he will not ask a third party to do it, besides, he was only imprisoned yesterday, even if the crime is conclusive, he will be tried, how can he be charged with crimes today?" ”

Ling Se stood up as if he thought of something and said, "No, Su'er, he, they want to connect with the four highnesses." ”

Su Qinghui covered Ling Se's mouth and said, "Sister, the wall has ears, and there are some things that can't be said." ”

"What should I do, I'll leave now, will there be a turning point if I go now?"

Su Qinghui grabbed Ling Se and said in a deep voice: "Sister, the moment you step into the capital, there is no way out." ”

"So, what then?"

Su Qinghui frowned, no matter what, the Huai Wangfu has been involved, and it will suffer somewhat. But now that the national teacher is critically ill, it is no surprise that he is already a turtle in the urn, except that he is just time. But for the sake of national political stability, Jing Yu will not put both the national teacher and Jing Rong to death as soon as he makes a move.

When he did this, he thought about it, either it was a temptation or a suppression, and it didn't hurt the general situation, so things must have taken a turn for the better.

Thinking of this, Su Qinghui said: "At the moment, I can only lose the pawn and protect the car first." ”

"Su'er, what about Yingmo?"

"Sister, I know that you are kind to me, but I can't tell you if I can save him now, but I promise, I will do my best, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not let go, okay?"

Ling Se nodded with teary eyes.

Su Qinghui wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly: "Sister, you hide in my house first, and when I come back, no one can come out, do you know?" ”

The door was pushed open, the wind poured into the house, and Jing Rong saw the person who came to collect the case file and waved his hand: "You go down first, don't interfere in this matter, and discuss it later." ”

The door closed, Jing Rong said, "What are you doing?" ”

"I killed someone" went straight to the point, without hesitation.

Jing Rong's breath stagnated, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Go out, I shouldn't have heard of it." ”

"I've killed more than one."

Jing Rong suppressed his voice as if a storm was coming: "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Su Qinghui said with a bitter smile: "It's still His Royal Highness who wants me to say all their names one by one." ”

"What the hell do you want to do?"

"It's nothing" Su Qinghui said lightly, as if he was talking about just a dinner.

"One knife and two cuts, the two do not owe each other, from now on the mountains and rivers are wide and the green mountains and roads are far away, you are you, I am me."

Jing Rongyuan wanted to ask her words, but he lost his mind when he was provoked by this sentence, he stood up, brought a gust of wind, and said angrily: "In your eyes, this is not indebted. ”

"Yes" is categorical and without hesitation.

Jing Rong looked at Su Qinghui's eyes, and suddenly a thought came to her mind, if only she could kill her, at least then she would stay by his side obediently, but in this way, it was not him, nor her.

Jing Rong lost his strength for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Su Qinghui, you have to carry everything yourself." ”

"This name, the current Fourth Highness should not say and cannot say"

Their eyes met, and each other's eyes were silently churning.

After a long time, Su Qinghui turned around and sighed softly: "Give it up." ”

This road has never been easy to walk, since there is no regret about stepping on it, we have achieved each other, now let each other go.

Su Qinghui's hand on the door was tightly grasped, and her body was rubbed into a cold embrace, she was stunned and almost wanted to cry: "Let go"

The person behind him tightened his hand, as if he wanted to crush her, as stubborn as a child: "Su Qinghui, don't even think about it." ”

Su Qinghui knew that the current Jingrong was only a momentary failure, and he was frightened step by step like walking on thin ice. Lin Chen's matter, if any one of them enters the game, as long as the other person doesn't let go, it is impossible for them to get out of the game. Someone has to be the scapegoat.

It's just that Su Qinghui didn't expect that this scapegoat would have to be done by Chang An.

In King Huai's Mansion, Su Qinghui stopped the guards from taking him away like crazy, and Chang An still looked heartless: "Shu'er, let it go." ”

Su Qinghui couldn't cry, the words she had just said not long ago were now piercing her heart like a needle, at this moment, she suddenly hated herself very much, and she also hated Chang An's appearance of thinking that she was good to everyone.

Su Qinghui roared and said, "Who made you rush out, do you know what you said, do you know it?" ”

"Su'er, there will be a day when things will come to light, but now all this has nothing to do with you, and I have nothing to say about this result."

Su Qinghui couldn't cry: "What do you want me to do, how to explain to Brother Changyuan, what should I do." ”

Hearing that name, Chang An lowered his head and smiled weakly like a child: "It's okay, I'll go and apologize to him in person, brother, he'll forgive me." ”

Even if Su Qinghui was hysterical, Chang An was still thrown into prison by an edict, bearing charges and humiliation that did not belong to him.

The crime of colluding with the courtiers is so deep that it would be nonsense to say that it has nothing to do with his master. Jing Yu set up this bureau, how could he be willing if he didn't achieve what he wanted.

From the first time he saw Jing Rong, Su Qinghui knew that a person like him seemed to be born spotless, high, and contemptuous of all beings.

But today he knelt on the ground, and let the two guards whip him, and let the crowd laugh at him.

Li Zhi stood on the steps and watched, dozens of whips passed, and the people under the steps were still standing straight and did not move at all. I can't find a trace of embarrassment on my face.

Blood stained the ground red along the corners of his clothes, winding forward inch by inch.

Li Zhi waved his hand, and the people on both sides stopped. "Your Highness, Li Zhi has offended today, and the Holy Lord asked me to tell Your Highness that there is no difference in everything, and I hope Your Highness will cherish it."

"Yes, the minister remembers the teachings of the Holy Lord."

Li Zhi walked to the door, looked back, and the man waved away the attendant beside him, got up without saying a word, and walked away step by step with blood. He lowered his head, and remembered Jing Yu's sarcasm: they are really a good pair of shadows.

In the inner courtyard, Yuan Dai gently pushed open the door, and the window was wide open, blowing the bed curtains.

Yuan Dai closed the window, gently called the person on the bed twice, there was silence, she frowned and opened the curtain, the brocade was turned over, and there was no human figure.

Yuan Dai put down the bowl, rushed out of the door and grabbed Sanqi, and said sharply: "What about Su'er, didn't you let you watch, what about people?" ”

Sanqi panicked: "Sister Yuandai, I have been guarding here since I saw the girl drink the medicine, I haven't left half a step, and I haven't seen the girl come out at all." ”

Yuan Dai let go of her hand and frowned: "It's too late to say anything now, Sanqi, you go find a few clever ones to look around." After that you stay in the courtyard, and if she comes back, you must find someone to tell me. ”

"Yes, yes, sister, I'll go right away."

In the corridor, Su Qinghui looked at the undried blood stains in the middle courtyard, and his figure flickered. She approached slowly, every step seemed to exhaust all her strength, and reached out, the wet was like sharp ice, and she was stabbed.

In the past few days, I finally surrendered in the face of reality and whimpered.

The shoulder was pushed hard, and Su Qinghui fell to the ground.

"You still have the face, Your Highness is all your fault today."

Su Qinghui raised his head, Yinghu pointed at her with trembling hands: "You can survive to this day, it's just to kill the little bit of love before, you think you're smart, but no one can save you, and the people around you who are still hurt are injured and leave one by one, you are a disaster." ”

Yinghu glanced at the figure who bowed his head and was silent, and squatted down with a sneer: "Su Qinghui, you have a big life, you can survive again and again, but those people around you are not so lucky." ”

Su Qinghui tightened his hand and said in a trembling voice: "It's you, Chang An took that dirty name for no reason, and you did it." ”

"Yes, I did it" Yinghu said and grabbed Su Qinghui's hand: "I'll tell you, the one who should have died was you." She said and shook Su Qinghui's hand fiercely, and then said indifferently: "But that person doesn't like it, he said, after all, the game has to be slow, if it's all dead, it's not fun." ”

Yinghu said and glanced at the trembling figure on the ground, and chuckled: "That's right, after all, everything started because of you, if you are all dead, then this game will be boring." ”

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

"It's just an answer, if you admit defeat, I'll let you go."

Su Qinghui sat up straight, looked straight at the mask-like face, and forced his voice: "Once a traitor, a slave for life." ”

Yinghu's face changed, he stretched out his hand and slapped Su Qinghui in the face, stood up and said, "What are you, what else can you do except for a few quick words." She slowed down her tone and sneered: "Oh, I forgot, you can do more, Chang An, Yuan Dai, who else is coming, ah, by the way, Nian Rong." ”

Hearing that name, Su Qinghui's eyes reddened: "Shut up, you don't deserve to mention their names." ”

"Ha, it's ironic, are you looking like this now with a weak heart or are you atoning for your sins."

"Bright Moon Girl"

Yinghu looked up, Yuan Dai walked over lightly, helped Su Qinghui and said, "Miss Mingyue should be guarding in the courtyard of His Highness at this time so as not to spend this thought in vain." ”

Yinghu snorted coldly: "It's up to you to do what I do." ”

"As long as Miss Mingyue doesn't enter the door of my Four Kings' Mansion for a day, she will be a guest for a day, and if she is an outsider, she should be disciplined and behaved."

"Don't think that just because you're a little old, you dare to point fingers at me."

Yuan Dai still looked stiff, and said: "I've been fighting for more than this year, it's better for Miss Mingyue to put away her words." ”

Yinghu's steps to step forward were stopped by the little maid behind him: "Girl, Your Highness has just been injured, and now it is the time when there are few people around, so the slave and maid will help you go to see Your Highness." ”

Yinghu swept the pale Su Qinghui with cold eyes, and pulled up a mocking smile: "Yes, Your Highness is the most important thing at the moment, I am not more leisurely than Miss Su'er, I want to go, let's go." ”

Yinghu's figure disappeared into the corner of the corridor, Yuan Dai's shoulders suddenly sank, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab it, and said distressedly: "Let's go, I'll help you go back." ”

"Thank you"

Entering the inner courtyard, Yuan Dai took a hot handkerchief and gently wiped the blood on the corner of her mouth, and the tip of her nose was sour: "I have wronged you." ”

Su Qinghui smiled: "It's okay, I can still block her little effort." ”

"It's hard-mouthed, and I won't stop suffering losses today, and I'm still strong."

After being silent for a few seconds, Su Qinghui lowered his head and said softly: "Sister, Yinghu admitted to me today that Lin Tan was faked by them, and Chang An was also pulled in by them." ”

Yuan Dai stroked Su Qinghui's hand and said with relief: "She only has the ability to pass on a few words, and she can be a little true, Su'er, give His Highness some time, and he will clean it up." ”

"Can I go see him?"

Looking at Su Qinghui's pitiful and tentative appearance, Yuan Dai finally couldn't bear to refuse: "Okay, but you have to promise me, wait patiently, and I can call you." ”

Su Qinghui finally felt a little relieved in his eyes, and nodded obediently: "Okay, I must be obedient, then sister help me, I don't want him to see the marks on his face." ”

Yuan Dai sighed, took the makeup powder and gently pounced it on her face: "Bear with it." ”

"Good"

In the dead of night, Yuan Dai dared to let Su Qinghui go to see Jingrong.

In the courtyard, the sound of the wind is quiet, and the candle flame is as precarious as if it is about to be extinguished. Su Qinghui held back his tears, moistened the towel and wiped away the blood stains on Jing Rong's body, the wound was wrapped in a white cloth, and the blood was still oozing.

Jing Rong stretched out his hand to touch Su Qinghui's arm, and his voice was weak: "Don't cry, it will be fine soon." ”

Su Qinghui couldn't help her emotions suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes, and a drop fell on Jing Rong's hand, she whimpered: "She's right, I think I'm smart, but in fact, no one can save me, the people around me are injured and leave one by one, I'm just a troublemaker, and I'm the damn one." ”

"Su'er, you know, it's never anyone's fault, we all make choices without choice, since we have taken that step, don't regret it, you remember, everything is variable, don't want to be perfect, survival is perfect."

Jing Rong wiped the tears from the corners of Su Qinghui's eyes with all his might, and said softly: "It's not over yet, I will take them back for you, now, I just want you to protect yourself and live well." ”

Su Qinghui stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "I will be obedient and will wait for you obediently." ”

Jing Rong pulled up a smile and smoothed her hair: "Good, don't cry, then you can tell me now what's wrong with your face." ”

Su Qinghui was stunned for a moment, turned his face and said, "No, not much." ”

"The makeup is all spent."

Su Qinghui snorted: "I'm dressed up like this for you, and you still have to demolish me, just say it if it's not good-looking, don't turn around and say it's ugly." ”

Jing Rong couldn't cry or laugh a little, picked up the hot towel on the side and gently wiped the marks on her face: "Take the box." ”

After a few moments, Jing Rong picked out a porcelain bottle and unscrewed it.

Su Qinghui suddenly felt a slight coolness on his face.

Under the dim light color, Jing Rong's lips were pale, her eyes were lowered, and her face was gentle.

Su Qinghui's eyes were hot, and he held back his tears: "Okay, I'll ask Sister Yuandai to help me for the rest, you are also injured, don't be too tired." ”

"Good"

Su Qinghui's eyes were wet, and he smiled lightly and held the medicine to his mouth: "Then you have to get better quickly." ”

"Good"

"Don't hold it hard"

"Good"

"I'll be there for you"

Jing Rong reached out and gently hugged Su Qinghui, touched her hair, and comforted her in a low voice: "I know"

Always known.
