Evening.

It was still cloudy, and in an instant there were thunderstorms, lightning and thunder, and the trees were blown away by the strong wind, crumbling, and the deafening thunder sounded like in the ears.

The rainstorm is coming.

As the wind blew, the rain curtain came from behind the mountain, and in an instant the heavens and the earth turned white, as if sobbing in the night.

"Your Majesty, Song Xiaoqiao's demonic words confuse the public, a little palace maid, trying to subvert the dynasty, and I hope that the emperor will execute this demon girl for the sake of the people of the world."

The ministers knelt at the gate of the Chengqian Palace, the heavy rain washed each of their bodies, and the soaked robes clung to them in a very uncomfortable posture, but they didn't care at all, and still knelt there motionless.

"You say, what should I do?"

He frowned, pacing back and forth urgently, he had long thought of such a moment, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Now they have no countermeasures, and the attitude of those ministers is endless, so that he cannot find a solution at all.

"Your Majesty, this is what they want, why can't the emperor fulfill them."

The corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she smiled bitterly in her heart.

In order to let her die, they really dare to say anything, and subvert the court, if she really has that ability, how can she be forced to such a point by them.

But then again, instead of fighting with them here, it is better to let the emperor press her into a prison, which can also allow her to settle down and free up more time.

"You've got it."

He also thought of this method, but he felt that it was a bit unkind to do so, although Song Xiaoqiao stayed not only to help him, but part of it was because of this reason, he really didn't want to cool Song Xiaoqiao's heart.

It's just that now that the matter is imminent, and this is what she brought up herself, he can feel better in his heart.

"Well, but please ask the emperor to find me a stand-in."

If you want to make time, the stand-in must be indispensable, and the emperor has to help in this matter.

"Don't worry, I won't let you stay in there for too long." In order not to arouse suspicion, the emperor deliberately escorted her to the minister: "Someone is coming, this person is an important criminal of the imperial court, and I will be escorted to the water prison of Dali Temple, and no one will be allowed to visit me during the period." ”

He sent Song Xiaoqiao there for two reasons, first, Dali Temple is a fair and strict place in their eyes, and they believe that if Song Xiaoqiao is pressed into Dali Temple, they will not come out to say irresponsible things. Secondly, Shaoqing is his person, which can also ensure Song Xiaoqiao's safety.

Sure enough, hearing what the emperor said, the ministers all looked at each other: "The emperor is wise." ”

Although the emperor did not come as they wanted, everyone knew what kind of place the water prison was, purgatory on earth, and few people who entered that place came out alive.

"Now that the matter is over, then the Aiqing will disperse."

Don't look at him as the emperor, but he can't help himself in many things, just like today, he is actually very reluctant to let Song Xiaoqiao enter Dali Temple, but these old guys are kneeling at the door of the hall endlessly, which is also a way out of the way.

"The ministers are leaving."

After kneeling for half an hour, coupled with the heavy rain, they have long lost their arrogance just now, and they are all like stepping on a sponge, and their steps are very heavy.

In the water prison of Dali Temple, Song Xiaoqiao looked at the behemoth in front of him, and had to sigh in his heart: The royal is really the royal family, and even a cell is so magnificent.

"Miss Song, I'm offended, please."

The emperor had already sent someone to greet him and asked him to protect Song Xiaoqiao well, for fear that someone would stretch out his hand to Dali Temple, so he would deliberately arrange Song Xiaoqiao in the special place of the water prison.

There are few people here, and there are basically heinous death row prisoners locked up here, so few people want to do anything here.

"Shaoqing, you're welcome."

The corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she walked into the cell without thinking about it, thinking that this cell would be the same as other cells, but when she walked in, she realized the true meaning of the water prison.

A water cell is a cell made of water, and the whole room is like a huge pool in which the prisoners are soaked, and only a small area can be used for people to stand.

"Shaoqing, this place is not for me?"

Damn, what does this little emperor mean, can't he really do it if he wants to fake it, if she wants to be more than just a person now, if she is really put into this water prison, she will definitely die with one corpse and two lives.

"Miss Song, don't worry, take a look inside."

This cell is very special, it looks like it has nothing to do with other water prisons, but as long as you walk along the steps next to it, it has a different scenery.

"I didn't expect you to be very careful, thank you."

It was pitch black inside, and she didn't pay attention to it at all, until she heard Shaoqing say this, and then she noticed that there seemed to be a room inside.

"Miss Song is polite, today is just a formality, there is a door at the back of the room, and when Miss Song's stand-in comes over tomorrow, Miss Song will not have to enter and exit from here, she can enter and exit directly from the back door of the room, and someone will answer Miss Song there."

Song Xiaoqiao was not the first person to come to this cell, there were two others in front of her, but these two were no longer in the capital now.

"Okay."

She raised the corners of her mouth again, strode her steps, and walked down the stone steps next to the pool to the room in the back.

The room is not big, but it is very clean and tidy inside, with everything you need, plus the door, which completely separates the water prison from the room.

"Here we are."

She had just entered the house, and before she had time to think about it, a voice suddenly sounded over there, which made her tremble in fright.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Didn't they just separate, and he came to her so soon, wasn't he afraid of arousing the suspicion of others?

And this guy is a ghost, he doesn't make a sound when he walks.

"I'll see if you need anything else."

He hadn't been here in this room for a long time, but he just ordered Shaoqing to have time to clean it, and today the incident happened suddenly, and he was a little worried, but fortunately, Shaoqing didn't disappoint him, the same as before.

"The slave and maid thanked the emperor."

When did the emperor care about her so much, so she was still a little unaccustomed to it.

"By the way, I've already made your matter clear to the envoy leaving the country, and I want you to meet you at Kabe."

Worry is one thing, but he came here with another purpose, that is, to leave the country.

Now that the internal contradictions have not been resolved, it is really not appropriate to start a war with the departure of the country, he wants Song Xiaoqiao to go to meet the departure envoy again, maybe things will take a turn for the better.

"When you go out at this time, the emperor is not afraid that others will see it?"

These are extraordinary times, and if it is known that she has left the water prison, those old urchins will not stop.

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements, but just in case, I hope you'll be able to wear this."

He had already ordered Gonggong Hai to change the palace maid eunuch near the Principality Pavilion, and Song Xiaoqiao changed into the clothes of a eunuch, presumably no one would have thought that Song Xiaoqiao, who should have been in the water prison, would go to secretly meet the departing envoy.

If this matter is settled, then Song Xiaoqiao's charges will not be established.

"Okay, the slaves and maids are all arranged by the emperor."

The little emperor arranged it very thoughtfully, and it was time for her to meet the departing envoy.
