After the snow, the temperature plummeted, and the emperor stood in front of the window, wrapped in a thick brocade robe, and still felt bitterly cold. I can't help but think back to Song Erniu's eyes when she left, and I don't know how she is now?

This woman, stubborn temper from beginning to end, she knows that as long as she begged him just now, even if it was just a question, he would easily let go and let go of Xiangxi.

But she didn't want to, she would rather go to the torture room to accompany Xiang Xi than beg him. Why? In her heart, he was so unworthy of being believed?

"Your Majesty, it's not early, you didn't have a good rest last night, let's rest early tonight."

The prince wondered, since the emperor was so reluctant, why did he lock people up just now?

In the end, it's not yourself who is distressed?

"Princess, what news is coming from the torture room?" The emperor seems to be casual, but in fact, his whole mind is on this matter.

The prince had already guessed that the emperor would ask such a question, so he inquired early.

"Back to the emperor, everything is fine over there in the torture room. The emperor can rest assured......"

"Your Majesty, something happened over there in the torture room." Before the prince could finish speaking, the commander of the guards hurried in.

"What's going on?" The emperor turned his head to look, and a little worry quickly appeared in his eyes, "But what happened to Song Erniu?" ”

The emperor frowned and stepped forward, "What did I tell you before, be sure to take care of them, if Song Erniu has three long and two short, I want your Xiang Shang head." ”

"Back to the emperor, this matter is indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates." The commander of the guards was guilty, "Just now my subordinates went to patrol around, and when I came back, I found that the torture room was on fire......"

"What?" The emperor finally couldn't help it, pushed the prince away, and walked out quickly.

When the people saw this, they hurried to follow. A quarter of an hour later, the emperor arrived with everyone. The fire in the torture chamber has been extinguished. Song Erniu protected Xiangxi and comforted her in a low voice.

The emperor strode forward, pulled Song Erniu to his body, and after looking at her carefully, he breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that she was okay.

"What the hell is going on, why did the criminal department catch fire?"

The emperor turned his head and asked the commander of the guards. The commander of the guards didn't know the reason, tonight's fire came too suddenly, and the torture chamber was surrounded by stone walls, so it stands to reason that there was no way to start a fire. But on the contrary, the torture room caught fire, who did it?

"I ask you, you even told me that you don't know, how did you become the commander of the guard?"

The emperor reprimanded. The commander of the guard knelt down and confessed. The emperor snorted dissatisfiedly, "Go down and receive the punishment, if there is a next time, the dismissal will be investigated." ”

After the commander of the guards left, the emperor pulled Song Erniu and prepared to leave.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute." Song Erniu let go of the emperor, turned around and pulled Xiangxi, "Can I take her back?" She had just been seriously ill, and today she was frightened again, and she had begun to have a fever, and if she didn't take medicine again, she was afraid that her body would not be able to bear it. ”

The emperor looked at Song Erniu for a long time and was silent.

Song Erniu began to feel weak, "If the emperor thinks it's inappropriate, the people and Xiangxi will wait here for ......."

The torture chamber has burned down, and they can only wait here until there is nowhere to go. The cold wind whistled by, Song Erniu couldn't take care of herself, took off her coat and prepared to help Xiangxi put it on.

Seeing this, the emperor immediately darkened his face, "What are you doing here?" Do you want to find death? ”

She only cares about others, doesn't she remember that she is also a patient and has just had a fever? If you get the wind chill again, it will be fatal.

The emperor took off his cloak angrily and quickly put it on Song Erniu, "Okay, I'll talk about something tomorrow, now go back and rest." ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Xiang Xi looked at the emperor's back and smiled happily, "The emperor still cares about his sister-in-law." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with the emperor." Song Erniu helped Xiangxi back to the courtyard.

After serving him to drink the medicine, it was almost dawn. She still didn't feel sleepy, got up and walked to the window, looking at the pavilions outside, full of complexity.

In fact, she set the fire in the torture room just now, when Xiangxi suddenly had a fever, she was worried that something would happen, but the guards outside didn't pay attention to it, and in desperation, she thought of such a way.

She naturally thought about what to do if there was a fire and the guards still ignored it. If that's the case, she and Xiangxi will both die inside.

But if she doesn't do this, she will only have a dead end, since it is all death, why not fight. Perhaps, there is still a glimmer of life......

"It's so late, why are you standing here in a daze if you don't sleep?"

The emperor didn't know when he walked in, and after glaring at her with disgust, he stepped forward, "What, suddenly feel that the palace is good?" ”

"The palace is naturally good, who doesn't know, the best things in the world are in the palace." Song Erniu nodded along with the emperor's words, "It's just that this kind of glory and wealth is not something that everyone can enjoy." At the very least, it doesn't work for me. ”

The emperor closed the lid of the cup with some loss, "You haven't tried, why do you jump to conclusions." ”

"There are some things that you can know at a glance and don't have to try." Song Erniu looked at the emperor with a smile, "Just like the emperor, the first time I saw you, I knew that you were not an extraordinary person, and you would definitely make achievements in the future." You see, you are now the lord of the world. I have a good eye. ”

If the emperor saw him for the first time, he might believe her nonsense, but they have known each other for so long, and the emperor will not be deceived by his words.

The first time they met was in the Qinglou, and at that time, she jumped in from the window of the next room in embarrassment. He didn't even know her, but she had the cheekiness to ask him to save her.

The second time they met, she pretended to be a beggar and came to him for help, and at that time he felt that there could be such a brazen person in this world.

Thinking about it now, I feel that if it weren't for her stalking, he might never have found her good.

"It's really good. I remember that the first time you saw me, you complimented me on how good I looked. It is also said that it is your ideal type. I don't know what the ideal type is, but I don't understand one thing. You obviously don't remember the past, why do you still not give up on Chu Mufeng's life and death? ”

The emperor didn't even notice himself, and when he said these words, his tone was full of envy and dissatisfaction.

The emperor asked himself, he had grown so big, it was the first time he had been so good to a woman, he had exhausted all his patience, but she didn't seem to see it, no matter what she did, she didn't say anything.

Was he not good enough, or was he going in the wrong direction from the start?

"I can't tell, at first, I just couldn't bear it. to later. Slowly felt that he should live and live well. Otherwise I would be sad and regretful. This time the incident started because of me, and I can't ignore him. ”

"What about me? If it's me who has an accident today. How would you do it? The emperor didn't know what he was expecting, but at this moment, she just wanted to ask. I also want to know how Song Erniu will return.

"Your Majesty, what do you think, you are the lord of the world, who will make it difficult for you. How can you have a difficult time......"

"What would you do if it were if?" The emperor stared at Song Erniu, as if to say that if she didn't give him an answer, she wouldn't give up.

Song Erniu was helpless, and said with a smile, "The emperor is naturally also my friend, if it is the emperor who has an accident today, I will do my best." ”

"Really?" The emperor suppressed the joy in his heart and took two steps forward, "Are you really willing to sacrifice your life for me?" ”

"I said, the emperor is my friend, and for the sake of my friend, I can do nothing."

Song Erniu nodded sincerely, "It's just that the emperor is a little strange today, why did he suddenly ask this?" ”

"It's nothing, I just don't think it's been a long time since I've spoken to you." The emperor changed the topic, "Regarding the matter of Xiangxi, I am reckless today, and I apologize to you......"

"No, today I am reckless, I didn't understand the emperor's situation and stood up against the emperor, it was my fault, and I ask the emperor to forgive me for my recklessness."

Song Erniu can bend and stretch, and if there is a mistake, she must admit it.

"The emperor told me before that in the matter of Chu Mufeng, we must find evidence to prove that Miss Wei is the murderer. I wonder what progress the emperor has made now? ”

The emperor shook his head, "Not yet." ”

"There is only one day left tomorrow, if you can't find evidence, Chu Mufeng's life will be in danger......

Song Erniu said a little anxiously, "Is there no other way?" Your Majesty, I promise you, as long as Chu Mufeng can come out safely this time, I will not interfere in the affairs of the Wei family again, nor will I investigate the affairs of the Ji family casually. Chu Mufeng ...... because of me"

"I said I wanted to help you, and I will help you to the end. Don't worry, just wait. ”

The emperor turned around with a smile, watched the day come little by little, and said softly, "But I also remember what you just said." ”

"The emperor can rest assured, I didn't understand the emperor's situation before, that's why I was so reckless, now I understand, and I will definitely not do such a foolish thing in the future."

Song Erniu is really scared this time, she can not care about her own life, but she can't harm others casually.

Moreover, Miss Wei hurt her again and again, and she didn't want to be a pawn of others anymore.

The emperor is right, kindness is originally a good thing, but if it is taken advantage of, it may become a sin.

She used to often say that she was not a good person, probably because she was deceived by Miss Wei's situation and tears before, and such a thing would not happen again in the future.

"Your Majesty, it's not too early, won't you go and take a rest?"

The emperor shook his head, "It's going to be early, so I won't rest, but you, let's go back and rest quickly." ”

After the emperor left, Song Erniu went back to rest, and at ten o'clock at noon, Xiangxi's fever subsided. When she woke up and found her leaving the torture room, she was surprised, "How did we get out, why didn't I have any impression at all?" ”

"You had a high fever last night, so I begged the emperor to bring you here. How's it going, are you okay? ”

Song Erniu checked Xiangxi's pulse, and after making sure that she was fine, she helped her sit up, "Eat something first, and I'll talk about it later." ”

"Sister-in-law, what about my cousin, how is my cousin now, what does the emperor say?"

Xiang Xi was worried about Chu Mufeng's affairs, and she had no appetite at all, Song Erniu pulled her and signaled her not to worry, "Don't worry, I have already said it to the emperor, as long as you act according to the plan." ”

"Really?" Xiang Xi was a little unconvinced, "However, the emperor didn't seem to help yesterday, why did he suddenly change his mind today." ”

"Mountain people have their own tricks. Don't worry. Okay, hurry up and eat. ”

Xiang Xi was recovering from a serious illness and couldn't eat greasy, so Song Erniu asked the kitchen to prepare some porridge and small green vegetables.

Xiang Xi didn't have much appetite, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks after a few bites, "Sister-in-law, your face doesn't look very good, do you want to go back and take a rest." ”

"No need ......"

"Miss Song, Miss Ji is here."

What is Ji Yanrou doing here at this time? After Song Erniu helped Xiangxi to lie down, she turned around and went outside. Ji Yanrou sat at the table drinking tea, and when she saw him come out, she said with a smile, "Why did Miss Song suddenly enter the palace, but she came to ask the emperor for help?" ”

"Ji Yanrou, why are you doing this? Chu Mufeng has no grievances with you, why did you hurt her? ”

Song Erniu saw Ji Yanrou's attitude, and she had nothing to hide, so she went straight to the point.

"No grievances?" Ji Yanrou sneered, "With her relationship with you, she is not without grievances." If you want to blame it, you will be blamed. Don't you think you're just a broom star? Whoever comes near you will be unlucky."

"Am I unlucky, or are you doing it on purpose? Ji Yanrou, you obviously don't have to do anything, just wait for three years to sit in the position of the queen, why are you doing this? Song Erniu couldn't figure it out.

In her eyes, Ji Yanrou is a smart person, she should know that the more she does, the more unfavorable it will be for him. But why did she do it?

"You don't understand?" Ji Yanrou stepped forward with hatred on her face, "It's obvious that you forced me to this point, but you asked me why with an innocent face?" Song Erniu, you are really hypocritical. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, when did I force you. It's you, who teamed up with your brother to harm me before, and then tried to blame me for your brother's death, whose fault do you think? ”

"If you want to blame, blame you for winning the emperor's favor." A touch of viciousness flashed in Ji Yanrou's beautiful eyes, "Obviously I am her queen, obviously I have a prominent family background and a noble birth, what do you want, but why, he seems to see nothing?" ”

"You are still trying to deal with the Ji family, do you want to replace it? Miss Ben tells you, don't even think about it, the position of the queen is mine, and as long as I am alive, no one will try to snatch it from me. ”

Ji Yanrou looked at Song Erniu with a hideous face, every word was like an arrow, which could kill her at any time.

Selfishness is selfishness, so why do you have to find such a cliché excuse?

"It's yours, no one can take it away, but if it's not yours, no matter how hard you try, you will lose it in the end."
