Not worse than expected.

Song Yi entered the palace.

Outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, Li Quan, the head of the inner room, bowed and said, "General Song, the emperor confessed, no one is seen." ”

Song Yi said lightly, "Then trouble Gonggong Li, tell the emperor that I will wait for him outside." ”

"Don't embarrass me, he won't see you even if you stand here all day." Li Quan sighed lightly, and walked into the Heart Cultivation Hall again.

In the hall, the man in the bright yellow robe was playing chess, and the delicate woman sitting opposite him pursed her red lips, "Your Majesty, I lost again." ”

Li Quan lowered his eyes and whispered, "Your Majesty, General Song said that if you don't see him, then he will wait for you outside until you are willing to see him." ”

The fingertips of the black chess pieces on the chessboard froze slightly, and the man replied in a non-undulating voice, "If he likes it, then let him continue to stand." ”

Li Quan walked out silently again.

Xu Lian'er secretly glanced at Mu Xiuhan's face that couldn't distinguish emotions, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "General Song must have come here this time for Song Xiao." I have always heard that the relationship between the two brothers is not compatible, and now it seems that the rumors are only rumors, Your Majesty, do you really plan to ignore it? ”

Mu Xiuhan's eyes moved slightly, and he asked unintentionally, "What is the idea of the concubine?" ”

Xu Lian'er's eyes rippled, and she smiled, "Your Majesty, I'm just a woman, how can I understand the affairs of the court?" Song Xiao teased the future Princess Jing, if you help General Song, it will be difficult for the Queen Mother to explain. Now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, if you let Song Xiao go like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. If you don't help General Song, I'm afraid it will chill General Song's heart again, and you will be in a dilemma. ”

"Yes! Dilemma?! Mu Xiuhan muttered softly, he put a black chess piece into the chessboard, "He Song Yi wants to occupy all loyalty, righteousness and filial piety at one time!" But in this world, how can there be such a cheap thing? ”

As his voice landed, there was a boom, and there was a thunderclap in the sky.

The rain was pouring down.

Xu Lian'er looked at the man who was fiddling with the chessboard, her eyes fell on the window, and murmured, "It's raining!" ”

—

Outside the hall, in the corridor, Li Quan looked at the thin and emaciated figure standing in the rain, even if the whole person was embarrassed by water, her back was neither humble nor arrogant.

He sighed lightly, and finally couldn't help but walk up to her, "General Song, you know, once the emperor makes a decision, he can't change it, so why are you bothering?" ”

Song Yi didn't say anything.

Li Quan shook his head and walked away again.

Time passed bit by bit, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the wound on the buttocks showed symptoms of inflammation and infection.

Song Yi pursed her lips tightly, her body fell a little far away, suddenly, the sound of gentle footsteps in front of her, her body shook slightly, Huo Ran raised her eyes, and when she saw the figure that was not familiar, she lowered her eyes in disappointment.

Xu Lian'er walked up to her with an oil-paper umbrella and said softly, "General Song, this time Song Xiao let go of the unforgivable mistake, you should know that if the emperor helps you protect him, not only will he completely tear his face with the queen mother, but also cause dissatisfaction in the court." Killing people to pay for their lives is a matter of course, so why are you so persistent? ”

Song Yi spoke in a hoarse voice, "Song Xiao molested a woman from a good family and forced people to die, naturally it is unforgivable. I have severed one of his arms and shown punishment, and I only ask the emperor to forgive him his capital crime, give him a chance to make amends, and let him make up for the sins he has put down. ”
