On the second day, Concubine Liu knew that Murong Sheng was about to leave the capital in two days and go to disaster relief, so she couldn't do it anymore.

Su Lan didn't take back what she wanted when she came back, but said that Master Liu was starting to prepare.

Concubine Liu knew that she couldn't miss this opportunity, so she secretly went back to Liufu without telling everyone, and finally got what she wanted before the afternoon.

In addition to going to the early court, Murong Sheng also had to prepare for disaster relief, and he didn't have time to go back to the East Palace during the day.

In the afternoon, Chen Xiaoxiao was suddenly brought into the imperial study by the eunuchs beside the emperor.

She was extremely frightened, facing the emperor, she knelt on the ground with her head bowed, and she didn't dare to come out.

She hadn't seen the emperor a few times, but she was always scared every time, especially when the emperor was expressionless, Chen Xiaoxiao always felt that she could die in the next moment.

The emperor in front of her, like a lurking tiger, was staring at her.

The emperor didn't care how long Chen Xiaoxiao knelt down, he insisted on reading four or five copies of the recital before stopping.

He put down the fold and said to Chen Xiaoxiao: "Calm down." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Emperor." ”

The emperor's face was flat, and he asked, "How long have you been following the fifth child?" ”

Chen Xiaoxiao replied truthfully: "It's been nearly a year since I returned to the emperor. ”

"It wasn't long." The emperor stood up, and the little eunuch next to him helped him.

The emperor shook off the little eunuch's support and said unhappily: "It's not that I can't move anymore. ”

The little eunuch laughed with him, "The slave's fault, don't be angry, Your Majesty." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao straightened her back, but sweat was dripping on her forehead.

After the emperor came to Chen Xiaoxiao's side, he said to the little eunuch, "You go, bring the wine." ”

The little eunuch bowed out, and immediately turned back.

Waiting for the little eunuch to bring the wine glass, the emperor personally took the wine jug and added wine to the wine glass, he stretched out his hand and handed it to Chen Xiaoxiao, who lowered his head, "I know the friendship between you and the fifth child, but as the prince, he should not have weakness, and it only took you a year to fill the heart of the fifth child." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao raised her head, her brain went blank for a moment, "Your Majesty, you ......"

The emperor interrupted Chen Xiaoxiao's words, and he continued: "You can also not drink this glass of wine, but you have to leave the fifth child. ”

As soon as Chen Xiaoxiao thought of leaving Murong Sheng, she felt a pain in her heart, "Your Majesty, the concubine will not threaten His Royal Highness the Prince, if one day, someone uses a concubine to threaten His Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine will not hesitate to end her life." ”

The emperor nodded, his face full of wrinkles was tired, "I don't believe you, you only have two choices, one is to drink the poisoned wine, I will bury you in the imperial mausoleum, and the second is to leave the fifth child and take the 30,000 taels I gave you, which is enough for you to eat and wear for the rest of your life." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao stared at the poisonous wine in the emperor's hand, her heart was shrouded in the fear of death, she thought about it a few times, thinking about pretending to drink it, and secretly spit it into the space in her mouth.

The emperor seemed to see through Chen Xiaoxiao's idea of cheating, and he said disdainfully: "Don't think about it, if you don't react after drinking, I will pour you a second or third cup." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao raised her eyes in despair and asked, "Why is the emperor so cruel to his concubines?" Before doing this, did the emperor ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”

"I said that as a prince, you can't have a weakness, I have been observing for so long, the fifth child is too focused on your feelings, this is not a good sign, he will thank me in the future."

That's not what I know, Chen Xiaoxiao is a little desperate, the prince has been so busy for the past two days, she hasn't seen him, and today he was summoned by the emperor again, the prince is too busy to take a break at this moment, right?

No one can send a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for her, what should she do, is she really only the only two options?

Chen Xiaoxiao's reaction was unexpected by the emperor, he paced back to the dragon chair, and the wine glass was placed in the little eunuch's hand.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has a question, and I hope she can figure it out before she dies." Chen Xiaoxiao has completely given up, she doesn't want to leave Murong Sheng, if she takes the money and leaves, then there will be no more possibilities between her and the prince.

The emperor was surprised that Chen Xiaoxiao would choose the first choice without hesitation, and he said, "You ask." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao smiled, she remembered the scene of the first meeting with His Royal Highness the Prince, and there were tears in her eyes, "The concubine wants to know, why did the emperor push away the people who were good to His Royal Highness the Prince, do you know how much you hurt him?" ”

In the past, when I didn't know what the princess and Concubine Liu were doing in private, Chen Xiaoxiao thought how good they were to His Royal Highness the Prince.

But after being in contact for so long, Chen Xiaoxiao found that there was no one who was really good to His Royal Highness the Prince, what they loved was just the power behind His Royal Highness the Prince.

For this, all kinds of calculations can be made, speaking of which, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also a poor person, and every time the emperor thinks about him, he pushes the people around him away.

Chen Xiaoxiao doesn't know if she is the only person who is sincere to His Royal Highness the Prince, maybe her sincerity is too cheap, otherwise why would God make such a big joke with her.

Maybe this farewell is completely gone, Chen Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly.

The emperor thought that Chen Xiaoxiao was asking something, but it was such a simple question, but he stopped him.

Push away the people who are good to the old five?

Executing a side concubine, even if it is to push away the person who is good to the fifth child?

The person who is good to the fifth child, not only the person in front of him, but also the fifth person in front of him will ascend the throne in the future, and there will be more people who are good to him in the three palaces and six courts.

He didn't feel like he was doing anything wrong before, when had he ever done such a thing.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but if you choose the first one, drink the wine, and I'll bury you."

Chen Xiaoxiao held back her tears and didn't let it fall, she walked in front of the little eunuch, took the wine glass, held the wine glass and said slowly: "Your Majesty, when the concubine drinks this glass of wine, you can tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the concubine took the silver ticket and left, so that your goal has been achieved." ”

The emperor was a little moved, the corners of his mouth moved, and he said, "I ......"

Chen Xiaoxiao said: "Your Majesty! ”

Her voice suddenly grew louder, shaking the Emperor for a moment.

"If you have anything else, I will promise you."

Chen Xiaoxiao laughed out loud, "Haha! The emperor is really a generous and benevolent lord, and the concubines have nothing else to ask for, but wish their parents peace. ”

In this world, the only thing she cares about is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and her parents, if she is destined not to go to the end, it is good to be able to keep her father and mother.

Daddy, mother!

Forgive me for not being able to do my filial piety in front of you!

"I promise you."

Chen Xiaoxiao was waiting for this sentence, she raised her wine glass and drank the wine inside.
