The Fengtu Tassel Palace lamp has been lit up, because someone is walking around in the hall, and the wind brought by the hem of the clothes makes the light jump a little, like an uncertain heart.

Wei Lanqi knelt on the ground, and through a layer of fabric, her knees could still feel the cold and hardness of the ground.

Guan Zuo knelt beside her, neither of them spoke, and Wei Lanqi had stopped crying.

The queen was having dinner, and the emperor did not come to Fengyi Palace tonight, but stayed with Concubine Zeng Li.

Whenever the emperor and Concubine Zeng Li dine together, the queen does not have to manage Concubine Zeng Li's diet, after all, there are those who serve the emperor in front of him, and everything can be done for him.

What's more, the queen was like a mirror in her heart, saying that she was asking her to take care of it, but she was just buttoning a hat on her head.

Bai Lu walked over, sighed and said, "Miss Lanqi, you are so ignorant, you really let down the queen's heart!" ”

Wei Lanqi bowed her head and said nothing, not making any arguments.

Seeing that there was no shame on her face, Bai Lu couldn't help but shake his head again and again, as if Wei Lanqi made him feel embarrassed like this.

Bai Lu looked at Guan Zuo coldly for a moment, and was about to say something, when a palace maid came out of it and beckoned to him: "Manager Bai come in, Niangniang has already finished eating." ”

"Hurry up and think about how you can make the mother angry!" Bai Lu threw down this sentence and hurried inside.

The queen sat at the table, looking at the gold-painted flowers on the teacup with some distraction.

Bai Lu walked in small steps and asked in a low voice: "Niangniang, what should I do with those two people outside?" ”

"Did you really see the two of them hugging each other?" The queen came back to her senses, with a hint of exhaustion in her tone.

"The slave would never dare to lie, and the people who went with me at that time saw it." Bai Lu swore: "These two people are really bold! Thanks to the minions who found out early. ”

He originally wanted to find Wei Lanqi and persuade her again, but he didn't expect to run into that scene.

"When did this happen?" The queen muttered: "I am really old, and I can't figure out the minds of the people around me, alas! ”

"Niangniang, you listen to the minion," Bai Lu said: "There is still room for reversal in this matter, and it is not yet irreparable." ”

"How do you turn around?" The queen looked at him coldly and asked, "Can a woman who has a heart belong act in front of another man without revealing her stuffing?" ”

"Not necessarily, Miss Lanqi is smart." Bai Lu said with confidence: "Today's minion is very confidential, except for our people who have seen it, outsiders don't know about it, this can rest assured."

In this case, as long as Miss Lan Qi is willing, she can still go to the emperor's side. As for that Guan Zuo, Niangniang just found any excuse to send him out of the palace. What else can happen if you don't see each other? Do you say? ”

"That being said, what if Lan Qi is unwilling to serve the emperor?" The queen frowned and said, "After all, she already has someone else in her heart." ”

If she said yes before, she could still consider it. But now does she still have the right to refuse? Bai Lu analyzed carefully: "As a companion but fornicating with the guard, this is a crime to be beaten to death with a stick." Niangniang did not cure her crimes, and continued to let her serve by the emperor's side. This not only preserved her reputation, but also made her dare not have two hearts. ”

"You mean for me to threaten her with this?" The queen asked, "In this case, won't she hate this palace in her heart?" ”

"The slave forgives her for not daring, after all, her life was given by the queen's mother, what else does she dare to say?" Bai Lu was very determined: "If you don't believe it, Niangniang will ask her face to face in a while." ”

"Alright, bring them in." The queen pinched her eyebrows tiredly, she was no longer young, and she often felt tired.

Wei Lanqi and Guan Zuo were brought in, and to the queen's surprise, the two of them were actually very calm, and that calm implied a determination to die.

"What were you two doing in the Imperial Garden?" The queen asked.

"Queen Mother, it's none of his business," Wei Lanqi said first: "I took the initiative to throw myself into my arms, and if I want to punish the crime, it is enough to punish me alone." ”

"Punishment? Do you know what sin you have committed? Bai Lu asked: "Niangniang is still quiet to you, who are you worthy of doing this?" ”

"I know I'm a sinner, guilty of a capital offense." Wei Lanqi did not shy away from it: "I also feel deeply guilty for failing to repay the queen's grace, so I just want to die quickly." ”

"Queen Mother, it's not what she said," Guan Zuo hurriedly grabbed the words: "It's me who thinks about her, and I took the initiative to approach her today." Ask the queen to see clearly! ”

"Okay, Guan Zuo, since that's the case, you can cut yourself off." With a sneering smile on her lips, the queen said to Guan Zuo: "As long as you are willing to die, I will not blame her." ”

When Guan Zuo was brought, the saber he was carrying had already been surrendered, and he didn't have a sharp weapon at hand at the moment, so he said: "The villain is willing to cut himself, and Niangniang only needs to tell me where to die." ”

"Don't," Wei Lanqi shook her head vigorously and said, "Niangniang, please spare him." If I want to die, I deserve to die, I have failed your cultivation trust, and I really don't deserve to live in this world. ”

"Niangniang, look at the two of them, they have repeatedly played tricks in front of you." Bai Lu said indignantly: "It's obvious that it's to deceive you for mercy." ”

"Take Guan Zuo out first, I want to ask Lan Qi a few words." The queen spoke.

"Niangniang, please forgive Lan Qi, I am willing to die, and there is no injustice." Guan Zuo pleaded.

"You're infatuated," Bai Lu said as he escorted him out, "Don't you want to think that you will affect your family like this!" ”

"Lan Qi, did you and Guan Zuo really have a relationship for a long time?" The queen asked Wei Lanqi.

Wei Lanqi nodded.

"Well, I don't want to kill him, as long as you promise that." The queen said, "Are you willing?" ”

Wei Lanqi was silent for a moment, raised her head and said firmly: "I'm sorry, Queen Mother, I can die but I can't agree." ”

The queen only felt extremely tight in her chest, and after a few quiet breaths, she felt slightly better, and asked her, "Why are you so ignorant?" Didn't you think that I could let you live or let you die, and let you two fall from now on? ”

"Niangniang can do it," Wei Lanqi's tone was neither sad nor joyful: "However, the three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman cannot win the ambition." I obey that you are a sinner, and that I transgress you as a sinner. In that case, it is better to follow your heart. ”

"Would you rather die?" The queen looked directly at Wei Lanqi and asked.

"I'd rather die." Wei Lanqi looked back at the Queen.

The room was as quiet as if it had been frozen in ice, and a moment was longer than a year.

Finally, the queen relented: "Okay, I will fulfill you." Tomorrow you will go out of the palace, and only tell the public that you will go home to recuperate. I won't let people talk about you and Guan Zuo, and I won't ask if you two can become dependents in the future. ”

"Thank you, mother." Veranki choked up with thanksgiving.

The queen didn't give up her heart after all, and this may be her last mercy.
