This voice frightened Yao Qiong all over.

Yao Pei didn't pay attention to her sister's abnormality at all, she was also anxious in her heart, and when she heard that "the emperor is coming", she immediately knelt down reflexively.

Li Sheng strode into the palace, saw Yao Pei kneeling on the ground, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Oh, the second sister is also here?" Stand up and speak. ”

Yao Pei stood up with her sister in her arms, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the courtiers came to the palace to talk to your sister, Your Majesty, don't blame you." ”

Li Sheng had a very good impression of this little sister-in-law, he sat down on the couch, picked up the tea sent by the palace maids, took a sip, and said with a smile, "What is this?" Your sister is bored in the palace every day, and it would be great if you could come and talk to her. Catch up with Ming'er, I will give you a gold medal, when you want to enter the palace, you can come at any time. ”

"Really?" Yao Pei, who had just been stopped at the gate of the palace for a long time, was surprised and delighted, and was busy and bowed down, "Your Majesty's words have to count, my sister and I were inseparable at first, but if I think of my sister today, I dare not enter the palace." ”

Yao Qiong hurriedly pulled Yao Pei's clothes, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, "Pei'er, what are you talking nonsense?" Your Majesty's words are true, how can you speak not count? ”

Li Sheng looked at the two sisters in front of him, and wondered a little in his heart, how can a child of the same mother be lifeless all day long, and the other is always smiling, which makes people happy when they see it? While thinking, he hurriedly instructed the eunuch, "Come on, take a gold medal for entering and leaving the palace gate, and reward it to Miss Yao Er." ”

Immediately someone agreed to go, and soon came with a gold medal.

Yao Pei received the gold medal and was busy thanking.

Li Sheng smiled and said, "The second sister came to the palace today, but what's the matter?" ”

"This ......" Yao Pei, who was still smiling just now, suddenly darkened her face, bit her lip, and was about to speak, Yao Qiong suddenly grabbed it and said, "Your Majesty, Pei'er came today and didn't have anything else to do, it turned out that the concubine was a little bored in the palace, so she sent someone to call her to talk to the concubine." ”

"Really?" Li Sheng frowned, stood up and said, "That is the case, you two sisters are talking, and I still have some twists to read, so I will leave first." ”

"Yes!" Yao Qiong lowered her eyebrows and said pleasing to the eye, "Your Majesty, don't work too hard, it's important to take care of the dragon body." ”

Every time we meet, there are only these two sentences! I don't know why the imperial grandmother and queen mother like her so much!

Li Sheng was a little impatient in his heart, so he didn't say anything, walked to the gate of the palace, stopped, and said coldly, "Your ...... That Du Xin is now locked up in the prison, if you want to go and see, I will arrange it for you, but don't expect too much, he killed Emperor Zhaoliewu, and the death penalty is inevitable! ”

After speaking, without waiting for the sisters to thank them, they dropped their sleeves and strode out of the palace.

The two sisters Yao Qiong and Yao Pei were left, stunned in place, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

Qingyu and Qinglu walked over and reminded softly, "Niangniang, second girl, Your Majesty has already left." ”

Yao Pei woke up first, she pulled Yao Qiong to sit down together, and couldn't help but shed tears, "Sister, that person...... I didn't do anything to us...... Do...... Responsibility, but ultimately our ......"

In front of her eyes, there was already a scene two or three years ago in the Hayin Mansion, the two armies were facing each other, Du Xin secretly waited in the woods to see her, his eyes full of tenderness, trembling hands, excited voice, and the ambush behind him, he tried his best to fight in order to protect himself, roaring to let himself go quickly......

She looked at her sister pleadingly, Yao Qiong was also full of tears, shaking her head helplessly, tears were like pearls with broken threads, she fell down, she said, "Pei'er, you forgot, my mother's hard work in the past few years, if I let my mother know, she will think that we are all white-eyed wolves, and she raised us in vain." ”

Yao Pei was silent, she hesitated for a long time, and said meaningfully, "Sister, it's better for me to go by myself." Your Majesty has a grudge against him for killing his brother, if you go to visit him again, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not feel good in your heart, and it will inevitably affect your husband and wife relationship, Jiu'er is still young, and he has no memory of him, and there is no need to go, I will take a look, and it will be considered our intention to be a daughter. ”

Yao Qiong wiped her tears and sighed softly, "It's okay, it's just like this." It's just that this matter must be hidden from my mother. ”

Inside the gloomy damp dungeon, there was a disgusting smell. A faint pain welled up in Yao Pei's heart, she frowned, clenched the basket in her hand, and followed the jailer without saying a word, through a narrow aisle, to the darkest cell at the end.

Yao Pei's heart "dong dong" beat very hard, is this person old? Hurt? Do you still recognize yourself? What would you say to yourself?

There was a sound of rustling in the cell, and a figure moved from the darkness to the door of the cell.

The air seemed to be condensed, Yao Pei felt a little breathless, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The cell was surrounded by stones, except for the low iron bars, each as thick as a child's arm. So, if you want to talk to the people in the prison, you have to crouch in front of the low fence door.

Yao Pei squatted down slightly, put the basket in her hand on the ground, and raised her eyes to look inside the prison, although she heard someone moving inside, it was pitch black in front of her.

"Pei'er?" A low, hesitant voice came from the darkness: "Is it Pei'er?" ”

Yao Pei wiped the tears from her face, and looked carefully into the dark cell again, her eyes had gradually adapted to the thick darkness, and she vaguely saw a black figure, squatting at the door of the cell, he stretched out two hands and grabbed the iron fence of the cell door. On those two hands, heavy shackles were hanging. Because he couldn't see clearly, he also put his face on the iron fence and stared greedily at Yao Pei.

"Pei'er, is it really you? Daddy knows, you must come back to see Daddy! ”

Yao Pei lowered her head, trying her best to hide the tears on her face, she opened the basket, a strong smell of fragrance, rushed out of the basket, she whispered, "I don't know what you like to eat, just prepare two things, you will eat a little!" ”

In the basket, there is a plate of bad anchovies, a bowl of ham and bamboo shoots stewed chicken soup, four steamed buns, and a pot of sake.

These meals were bought by Yao Pei in the restaurant, and she didn't dare to let the kitchen at home prepare them, in case this matter reached her mother's ears, the old man would definitely be furious again.

"Pei'er, what about your sister and sister?" The tempting smell of rice made Du Xin feel even more hungry, he swallowed his saliva, but he still couldn't help but ask.

Yao Pei gritted her teeth lightly and said quickly, "It's inconvenient for my sister to come, Jiu'er always thought that you would have died a long time ago." Hurry up and eat this meal, and I'll be back soon." ”

"Oh-" Dusin's voice, sounding very lost, "Hehehe, that's what I deserve." I don't blame them. ”

"What right do you have to blame them? What have you done for us? Yao Pei wiped her tears again and couldn't help but be impatient.

Dusin nodded heavily, and even the shackles on his body rattled, and he said, "Pei'er, what you said is true." What about your mother? Does she know you're coming? ”

Yao Pei said irritably, "Do you eat or not?" If you don't eat it, I'll leave! ”

"Don't! Other! Other! Du Xin hurriedly smiled and said, "Pei'er, don't go, I'll eat!" I eat! As he spoke, he reached out from the fence.

A pair of large, scarred, calloused hands, rough and dirty, with shackles on the wrists the width of a palm.

Yao Pei couldn't bear to look at it anymore, put the steamed buns and food at the door of the prison, and turned her back on her face.
