The snow in the sky is getting heavier and heavier, and more and more people are falling in front of the palace gate.

Chen persevered for a long time, and finally when the sky was getting dark, his body was crooked, and he fell to the ground with his eyes closed.

There were more than a hundred people behind her, only a few of them were still gritting their teeth and kneeling, and Su Ruan's face was already bloodless, and the cold wind was like a knife, which made her face hurt, and her eyes began to become blurry and shaky.

Su Ruan's head was covered with a layer of snow, and the snow below him was a little scarlet.

When she held the tablet tightly in her hand, she pinched the soft flesh of her palm, and the tablet was also stained with a little blood.

The onlookers around from the initial noisy pointers and discussions, then gradually quieted down and remained silent, and now their faces showed unbearable expressions.

"Let's go back."

"Yes, go back, if you kneel like this, you will freeze to death."

"Look at that kid, his lips are blue, go back......"

At first, some people whispered persuasion, but later, more people persuaded them.

When Xie Qingheng brought Xie Huan and them over, what they saw was Su Ruan, who was kneeling in front of the palace gate and seemed to be stiff.

Xie Huan burst into tears, and strode forward to pull Su Ruan.

"Ruan Ruan, come back with me!"

It's been almost four hours, and the emperor has no intention of summoning her at all, if she kneels like this again, she will really die!

Su Ruan's reaction was a little sluggish, her mind was buzzing, and she was stunned for a while before she could see Xie Huan's face clearly and see the tears in her eyes.

Su Ruan's lips trembled and said, "Second sister...... Don't cry... I'm fine..."

"Why are you okay? Do you think you're cast in copper and iron?! ”

"Look at you, look at yourself, do you want to kneel and die in front of this palace?!"

Xie Huan squatted on the ground and cried and tried to pull Su Ruan up, but Su Ruan, who had been frozen unconscious, was like growing on the ground, and no matter how hard she tried, she refused to get up half a step.

Su Ruan staggered, seeing that she would fall down at the slightest touch, but she knelt on the ground and said in a low voice:

"I can't go."

If she's gone.

What about Qiwen Mansion?

What about the Xie family?

What about these people behind her?

Xie Jinyun's eyes were swollen from crying, and he wanted to go with Xie Huan to pull Su Ruan, but was stopped by a big hand, and Su Ruan saw Old Madam Xie standing beside them through them.

Su Ruan's face was a little frozen, and he wanted to smile, but his smile was stiff, and his voice trembled a little: "Grandmother, are you ......here?"

"Is it worth it?"

Old Madam Xie said in a low voice.

Su Ruan thought for a while: "It's worth it. ”

She glanced at the Chen family who fell to the ground beside her, as well as the people behind her who only felt that they were gone, and said in a low voice: "Please grandmother help me take them back, don't let them have an accident." ”

"What about you?" Old Madam Xie lowered her eyes and looked at her.

Su Ruan bent his eyes: "I'll wait for the emperor." ”

Qi Wenfu said, sincerity, gold and stone are open.

Old Madam Xie looked at the smile on her face, her eyes were instantly sour, she suppressed the tears that were almost overflowing, and turned her head violently and said, "Qingheng, bring your mother back, and a few of you will also help to send these people to the restaurant over there for settlement." ”

"Grandmother!"

Xie Huan wanted to speak with tears in her eyes, but Mrs. Xie said directly: "Go, be obedient!" ”

Xie Qingheng pursed his lips tightly, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end, and after a long time, he squatted down to brush the snow from Su Ruan's hair, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry......"

I'm sorry, I'm not strong enough.

I'm sorry, I'm too incompetent.

I'm sorry, I can't help you, I can't even kneel here with you, facing the wind and snow with you.

Although Xie Qingheng didn't say the rest of the words, Su Ruan saw clearly what was contained in his eyes.

That kind of guilt, forbearance, unwillingness and pain are intertwined, Su Ruan couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.

She glanced at Xie Huan and the others who were crying and red-eyed, looked at Mrs. Xie who pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, looked at Xie Qingheng who was full of guilt in front of her, and Xie Chengan and Xie Qingyang who were red-eyed not far away.

In fact, she also has someone who hurts, in fact, she is not unloved.

Su Ruan suddenly stepped forward, touched his forehead in front of Xie Qingheng's forehead, and said hoarsely, "Big brother, thank you." ”

Xie Qingheng felt the coldness on his forehead, and his eyes turned red when he listened to her coquettish words as before.

Xie Qingheng directly stretched out his hand to help Chen stand up, and said to Xie Cheng'an who was not far away, "Cheng'an, come and help." ”

Xie Cheng'an and Xie Qingyang walked over quickly with people, they didn't say anything, just according to Mrs. Xie's instructions, they lifted up those who had fainted on the snow, and even had been frozen to the point of losing consciousness, and quickly sent them into the carriage parked next to them, and sent them towards the hotel closest to the palace gate.

And Xie Huan and the others were forcibly pulled away by Mrs. Xie.

They didn't go far, but stood under a grass hut a few feet away.

"Grandmother, why didn't you persuade Ruan Ruan?" Xie Jinyun cried so much that his voice was hoarse.

Old Madam Xie's voice was a little muffled: "I can't persuade you." ”

If she can persuade her, how can she not circle it.

She looked back at the crowd, and easily saw Xie Yuan and Xie Qin, as well as Xie Yong, who was the most rare appearance on weekdays, the three of them stood side by side, all looking at the direction of the palace gate with a stoic face.

No one was uncomfortable, but no one stepped forward.

……

The front of the palace gate was quiet again, and this time there were less than twenty people left behind Su Ruan.

The old man is gone, the child is gone.

The rest were almost all women in their twenties and thirties, and a few young men.

There were rows of black wood and gold characters around Su Ruan, and she was obviously the thinnest, but she knelt straight and straight in the front, kneeling and kneeling, the sky was dark, and the people in front of the palace gate gathered and dispersed, and there were newcomers again.

Only the people of the Xie family never left.

A person fell behind Su Ruan, and they stepped forward to take the person away.

If you pour one more, you will take another ......

In the end, there were only Su Ruan and another half-grown teenager kneeling there, and the two of them were surrounded by one hundred and eighty-two tablets, representing the one hundred and eighty-two people who had fallen.

The two equally thin bodies were crumbling, the young man fell down twice, and got up again, the people around him gradually became red-eyed, blurring their vision, and even the guards standing in front of the palace gate couldn't bear to look at the tablets neatly placed on the snow in the dark night.

Su Ruan's mind was already confused at this time, and he couldn't even see things clearly in front of him.

She shook.

Thinking.

She may not be able to hold on.

Seeing that the thin body was crooked, everyone was heartbroken, and Old Madam Xie clenched her fists tightly, and at this moment, the closed palace door slowly opened.

"It's out!"

"It's out!!"
