Rain cats and dogs.

The white rain is gradually falling stone steps, and the cold rain is floating with lights and candles.

It rarely rains in autumn, but now it's raining heavily, what does that mean?

This is an inevitable result, no one can stop it, this matter is bloody, Wei Manhui is pregnant and can't go to the execution, but he sent Hu Ling to help, not so much to help, but to supervise.

When Tao Zhiyuan stood in the prison soaking wet, she looked at the small window, the rain seemed to never stop, she still remembered that day, Chu Zixiao came to Ruolan Palace, regardless of her identity, her knees bent, knelt heavily on the ground, and shouted with all her strength, "Please be merciful!" ”

Qian Xue walked out of the main hall with an umbrella, and said in embarrassment, "Imperial Doctor Chu, there is nothing you can do about this." ”

Chu Zixiao ignored it, still kneeling straight, letting the wind and rain invade her body, and the cold was pressing, "The emperor loves Niangniang, there will definitely be a way!" The Queen Mother is still bedridden due to illness, and now the only one who can help Weichen is Niangniang! ”

This heavy rain seemed to express the pain in Chu Zixiao's heart, Tao Zhiyuan couldn't help it, and walked out with an umbrella to block the top of his head, while she herself was exposed and endured the heavy rain.

Tao Zhiyuan said with a crying voice, "Imperial Doctor Chu, I can't help it, this matter is too big, I have to have an explanation, the emperor does this to minimize the casualties." ”

The rain gradually stopped, leaving only droplets of water rolling down his body and forehead. He didn't speak, just stared at the bluestone floor that was washed by water, "Is it okay for Weichen to die instead of her?" That day, Weichen asked her to go first, but she wanted Weichen to leave first, she said that she would have a way to get out, but now ......" Chu Zixiao raised her head violently, her eyes were misty, "Does she have to bear it alone?!" Mother, I beg you! I beg you! I don't want to watch her die like this! ”

"Since she made such a choice, she just wants you to live." Tao Zhiyuan said gloomily, "She was tortured with cruel torture instruments, but she didn't open her mouth, do you still want to live up to her last heart?" ”

Chu Zixiao calmed down, but she also cried bitterly.

Tao Zhiyuan looked at him in a daze, and said in her heart: "Chu Zixiao, Chu Zixiao, she lives only for you in this life." ”

"Mother?" Hu Ling, who was standing behind him, shouted.

At this time, Tao Zhiyuan came back to her senses, how could she remember the events of that day, she didn't look back, she went straight inside, and Zhou Luying was locked in the innermost cell, dim and damp.

The guard took out the key to open the door, Tao Zhiyuan walked in slowly, she almost couldn't recognize that it was Zhou Luying leaning on the corner, her prison clothes were stained with blood, her hair was messy, her pale face was not angry, and there were dried blood stains at the corners of her mouth. Seeing Zhou Luying's appearance, Tao Zhiyuan's heart was sour.

Hearing a sound, Zhou Luying slowly opened her eyes, and saw Tao Zhiyuan at first sight, her hoarse throat couldn't spit out a word, and her moist eyes refracted a fluorescence.

"Mother, the time has come." Hu Ling was not interested in looking at them and looking at each other, Hu Ling took the wine that the palace maid had already prepared, stepped forward, and reminded Tao Zhiyuan.

Tao Zhiyuan turned her head and glanced at the glass full of wine, like clear spring water, but it would take a person's life in an instant.

What does it feel like to drink it? She had already tried it, that kind of fear, which eroded a person's mind, would be afraid of the feeling of death.

Zhou Luying already knew her fate, as long as Chu Zixiao was safe, what else did she have to be afraid of, she stood up slowly and never said a word.

Tao Zhiyuan picked up the glass of wine and slowly walked towards Zhou Luying, Zhou Luying took the wine, her hands trembled uncontrollably, although she already knew in her heart that there would be such a day sooner or later when she entered the palace, but she didn't expect this day to come so quickly, and she couldn't even see his last side.

Seeing that Zhou Luying's eyes were full of tears and never shed, Tao Zhiyuan took a step forward and whispered: "You have to wait for him when you arrive at Huangquan Road, you will be reincarnated together, and you will definitely be able to become husband and wife in the next life." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Luying slowly closed her eyes, tears slipped down, and poured the wine into her mouth.

Yun Qingyuan is the same, isn't it? Why did someone important have to die in front of her?

A glass of wine......

Tao Zhiyuan grinned, only to hear the sound of falling to the ground behind her, she motioned to Qianxue to deal with the aftermath, and then rushed out of the prison quickly, without looking back, she was afraid that as soon as she turned around, she would collapse again.

A flash of cool rain wets Luo's clothes, and the sound of trickling water beads and tiles.

Tao Zhiyuan walked back to Ruolan Palace slowly step by step, letting the wind and rain blow.

It's a pity, does God hear her prayers?

Not once heard, she has no ability to protect anyone, no matter what, she is a failure.

Since returning from the prison that day, Tao Zhiyuan has lingered on the sickbed, sometimes good and sometimes bad, the imperial doctors who came and went from Ruolan Palace dazzled people's eyes, soaked in the sea of medicine every day, and the bitter taste overflowed inside and outside the hall, making people's hearts become bitter.

Chu Zixiao was also in a state of decadence because of Zhou Luying's death, her mood was depressed, and her brows never stretched for a day, Tao Zhiyuan naturally didn't ask him to come for treatment, but he would still go to Rong'er to check her pulse.

Yun Yi will stay in Ruolan Palace every night to take care of her, often undressed, never spoke, his eyes are deep guilt and self-blame, he occasionally comes during the day and just sits silently, Tao Zhiyi is unable to get up, simply twist his face and disappear, he does not force it, often sit still for an hour or two, his breathing is calm, and it also brings her some peace of mind.

It was November, and her illness finally improved in the heavy snow, and Yunyi was overjoyed and rewarded those imperial doctors.

Tao Zhiyuan has been asking about the harem for a long time, but Qianxue has been paying attention to it from time to time, and when Tao Zhiyuan opened her mouth to ask, she said: "The queen mother is ready to give birth, which makes the whole hospital very nervous, and the soup is sent to Zhaoyang Palace every day, but the emperor comes to take care of Niangniang every day, but he has not been to Zhaoyang Palace, but he just asked someone to send some rewards." ”

Tao Zhiyuan looked at the heavy snow outside the window, fluttering and sprinkling, all over the sky, the minions were afraid of the cold and hiding, she muttered, "Does my eldest brother have a message?" ”

"General Yun said that soldiers and horses are already being trained, and the fiefdom of the Marquis of Tao is also purchasing grain and war horses."

"The day Wei Manhui gave birth to the dragon son, it was the beginning of the war." Tao Zhiyuan stared at the falling snowflakes, at that time, the blood stained the snow all over the ground, what was the situation?

The grudge between her and Wei Manhui has been broken, right?

"Niangniang, the queen mother's body is gone day by day, Aunt Xue will not pass on this news, only let the slave tell Niangniang." Qian Xue said cautiously.
