Chapter 235: Dying
Your life, or your poor old father's, you choose. β
The maid looked at Cui Li's earrings thrown on the ground, glowing with a shiny light, and her heart trembled a little.
Above the lobby, the emperor looked at the earring in his hand, and laughed inexplicably, which made those people a little confused.
"King Jing is really fast, but in a few days, he can find out the real culprit, but I'm curious, your ability to come to the sky."
Xuan Ye knelt on the ground and looked at the person on the dragon chair without fear, as if he had thought that the emperor would say this,
"Brother Huang was surprised, since those people did something wrong, then they will definitely show flaws."
The Emperor frowned, "If you want to prove anything with this one earring, I'm afraid the evidence is insufficient." Well, you better go and see the girl first. β
The emperor put aside the so-called evidence in his hand and allowed Xuanye to go to the prison to see Xu Tiantian.
The environment in the prison was damp and dark, and before Xuan Ye frowned, he had also been trapped in this place.
"Ahem......" When Xuan Ye saw Xu Tiantian, Xu Tiantian's scars were coughing gently, his face seemed to be tightly twisted together because of pain, and his expression looked a little distorted.
Xuan Ye saw Xu Tiantian's body injury, his inky eyes suddenly tightened, these people really didn't know what to do, and they actually dared to touch him.
Looking at the prison, the woman with squinted eyes finally called softly, "Tiantian." β
After hearing the familiar voice, Xu Tiantian opened her eyes with some difficulty, although the prince had sheltered those people in the past few days, and she didn't dare to touch her, but the injuries she had suffered before were too serious.
Sometimes even breathing feels like my chest hurts so much.
Xu Tiantian sat up with some effort, her face was a little pale, probably due to excessive blood loss, which made her look a little weak.
"How did you come to this place?"
Xuan Ye tightly twisted his brows, and there was a trace of distress in his eyes that he didn't even notice.
"Tiantian or lie down in peace, these beasts dare to do this to you. Sweet and patient, when I find the evidence, I will screw the heads of these dogs off. β
Xu Tiantian didn't speak, if Xuan Ye said this before she was imprisoned, she might just listen, but it was the prince himself who told her that the reason why he arrived in time was only because of Xuan Ye's instructions first, Xu Tiantian felt a little relieved inexplicably.
Maybe Xuan Ye is far from being as bad as he imagined, "Thank you for your kindness." β
If she can get out safely this time, then she will not step into the palace gate for half a step in her life.
Xuan Ye looked at Xu Tiantian's expression a little complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he just spit out two words lightly, "It's me." β
Yes, this matter is his reason in the final analysis, if it weren't for her, how could Xu Tiantian be implicated because of it. All this he is doing now is just because he wants to make up for the debts in his heart.
Xu Tiantian didn't understand what he meant, she closed her eyes gently, and now even if she opened her eyes, she felt that she was wasting her strength.
In a courtyard in the palace, a maid of a different race was trapped here.
Xuan Ye looked at the alien woman, his eyes were full of frost, as if he was an iceberg,
"This king naturally knows in his heart who the real culprit behind this matter is, and you know it in your heart, but since you are unwilling to confess your master, then this responsibility has to be borne by you."
"As long as the prince can let go of the slave's father and younger brother, the slave will naturally explain this matter to the emperor."
Xuan Ye nodded, and did not embarrass this woman anymore. He didn't care about how the snow princess died, and the only thing he cared about was whether Xu Tiantian could get out of that prison alive.
Now that I have a scapegoat, I can let Xu Tian Tianjiao sunrise, which is naturally good.
The emperor in the Heart Cultivation Hall looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, and only felt a little headache.
"King Jing said that you killed the Snow Princess, but you should tell me why you did this."
Hearing what the emperor said, the maid was a little excited and wanted to step forward, but was pressed to the ground by the guards.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this matter was done by a slave and maid alone, and was not instructed by anyone. When the slave maid was in the snowy country, she had a lover, but she was discovered by the snow princess, and the snow princess said that the slave and maid were unethical, so she asked the guards to kill my lover, and the slave was heartbroken and resentful, so she would kill the snow princess. "The servant girl was pressed down, and she wanted to struggle, but she couldn't withstand the strength of a few men. I had to shout desperately on this main hall, because it was empty, there was an echo when I spoke, and it sounded like asking for my life. The emperor waved his hand and motioned for those people to stand back, "Then why do you want to blame Miss Xu?" The maid gritted her teeth, as if she had let herself out, "The slave didn't want to frame Miss Xu at first, but the princess offended Miss Xu the day before, so I got up for a moment and forged this illusion." The emperor didn't pay any attention to the others, "Put her in prison first, and wait for the envoy of the Snowy Land Country to come and hand her over to the envoy." β
From beginning to end, Xuan Ye never said a word again, just sighed that this servant girl was good at acting. I don't know who the master behind her is, so that she can spare her life to guard.
After watching the guards press down the maidservant, Xuan Ye knelt on the ground and spoke lightly, as if with a slight request.
"Brother Huang, now that the real murderer has been brought to justice, can Tiantian be released from prison?"
The emperor just sneered about Xu Tiantian's imprisonment, and he naturally heard a little, "I didn't find out that you were so infatuated, that girl deserves to be like this." β
Xuan Ye just knelt on the ground, staring at the ground, not looking up at the emperor, "The younger brother once said that he just let Tian Tian endure it for a few days. As a royal person, the younger brother naturally has to do what he says. β
The emperor waved his dragon robe back, as if he was a little tired, and then turned to leave, leaving behind a sentence: "That's it, that girl has suffered a lot in prison, you can take her back to the mansion to live and raise." β
When Xuan Ye carefully took Xu Tiantian out, Wei Miao and Wei Xiao cried on the side.
Wei Miao watched Xu Tiantian cautiously want to move, but she didn't dare, for fear of touching her wounds.
"How can those people be so ruthless to beat the county lord like this. Do they have no parents and no children? β
Wei Xiao didn't speak, just silently shed tears on the side, and his eyes were like red and swollen peaches.
Xu Tiantian stretched out her hand, and Weimiao hurriedly took it and helped Xu Tiantian, "Okay, now that I came out safely, why are you two still crying so much when you see me." It's all okay already, you two don't have to worry about me. β
The environment in the prison is not with her injuries, and Xu Tiantian's wounds are still infected after returning to the palace.
Wei Xiao looked at Xu Tiantian, who had been groggy, and was a little worried, crying with tears in his eyes.
"Lord Wang, the county lord has had a high fever for three days, how can this be good? If you continue to burn like this, even if you can't burn to death, you should be burned to be a fool. β
She followed Xu Tiantian out of the pile of dead people, and naturally knew how difficult it was for Xu Tiantian to go all the way, and now she finally had a good home, but she was framed and imprisoned, and she ended up with the root of her illness.
Xuan Ye watched Xu Tiantian lying on the bed, sleeping groggily, and even began to talk nonsense, holding his hands tightly together, "Shen Yi, go to the palace and invite the imperial doctor." Be quick. β
Xu Tiantian was a little weak and wanted to open her eyes as hard as she could, but she found that even such a small movement was extremely strenuous for her, and in the end she had to use all her strength and keep shouting Xuanye's name.
"Xuanye, Xuanyeβ"
Xuan Ye subconsciously rushed to the front, and then held Xu Tiantian's hands tightly, "Don't be afraid, Tiantian, I'm here, no one can hurt you now." β
He speaks of "I", not "this king."
"Vivid, only ......" Xu Tiantian's weak mouth intermittently kept shouting the names of the people around her.
Wei Miao and Wei Xiao knelt on the ground, for fear that if they blinked, the person lying on the bed would leave them, "County Lord, we are all here, wake up, open your eyes and look at us." β
It's just that Xuan Ye was thinking in her heart, she wasn't calling the names of the two of them, she was probably explaining herself, so that she must be thoughtful with the two of them.
Xuan Ye frowned, he didn't allow Xu Tiantian to have any accidents,
"Tiantian, you have a good rest, don't think nonsense. Shen Yi has already gone to the palace to ask Imperial Doctor Wang, Imperial Physician Wang has excellent medical skills, he will definitely be able to save you. β
Shen Yi hurried to the palace with a whip, and couldn't help but say anything, and asked the imperial physician to hurry over with the medicine box.
"Lord Wang, the Imperial Physician is here."
Xuan Ye nodded and gave up a place for the Imperial Doctor.
Imperial Physician Wang looked at Xu Tiantian, who was lying on the bed, with a pale face, and opened Xu Tiantian's eyelids, Xu Tiantian's eyeballs obviously rolled up, as if he had no sense of survival.
Imperial Physician Wang's face changed, his expression was a little solemn, and Xuan Ye's heart was tightly pinched together, and then he put his hand on Xu Tiantian's pulse.
Xu Tiantian's pulse was weak, and he seemed to be there, if it weren't for his careful heart, he might be able to directly judge that Xu Tiantian was breathless at the moment.
Imperial Physician Wang was a little embarrassed, and finally let go of Xu Tiantian and knelt on the ground.
