Qi Changrong nodded gently, his eyebrows clear: "I'm tired of my father-in-law." ”

"Your Highness is serious."

“……”

Yuan Yi walked in, and after a while, another attendant in the imperial study trotted out and respectfully invited Qi Changrong in.

"You're waiting outside."

Hearing this, Ji Fang paused, retracted his feet with a bitter face and stood in place.

It seems that he is going to be a stake outside the imperial study again.

Qi Changrong couldn't be familiar with the imperial study that she had been to countless times, but when she went in today, she saw the emerald green figure kneeling in the center of the hall, and she was still distracted for a while.

Although it was only a short moment and disappeared in the blink of an eye, it could not be clearer for Emperor Jin An, who had been staring at her since she entered the palace.

The atmosphere in the imperial study room is very condensed, quite tense in ancient times.

Sensing Emperor Jin'an's rising anger, Yuan Yi quietly presented a pot of soothing tea, and poured warm tea into the cup, and a thick white mist rose into the air.

A faint fragrance spread in the imperial study.

Recently, His Majesty has always been awakened in a dream, and this is a soothing tea specially prepared by the medical saint for His Majesty, which can play a soothing role to a certain extent.

It is the fragrance of tea that can also make people calm down.

"Your Majesty, please use it."

After putting the tea in the hand of Emperor Jin An, Yuan Yi stepped aside with interest, looked down at his toes, did not listen or look, and tried to reduce his sense of existence.

There was a long silence in the imperial study.

After a long time, the Anshen tea lost its temperature, and Emperor Jin An opened his mouth.

But the first words he said made Shi Xia, who was kneeling in the center of the imperial study, fall into hell, and his face was as white as paper in an instant.

Emperor Jin An said in a deep voice: "Since that one has made a mistake, then this one can't be kept, prince, throw her into the lion forest together." ”

This is not a notice, nor a discussion, but an order, he is clearly telling Qi Changrong that Shi Xia should die.

Looking at the prince of the East Palace who seemed to have no emotion in front of him, a wave of anger suddenly rose in Emperor Jin'an's heart.

The heirs he cultivated should be ruthless and not soft-hearted in the face of crises.

He didn't ask why Shi Chun was thrown into the Lion Forest, but there were only a few reasons, the most likely of which was that Shi Chun intended to reveal the true identity of the prince.

Otherwise, with the gentle character of the prince, how could it be possible for people to suffer and die in the Lion Forest?

But, if it really involves royal secrecy.

In order to seal his mouth, how can Deadpool Chun be enough alone?

At the very least, everyone who has been in contact with Shi Chun should be on the death list.

Knowing that she was in danger, Shi Xia's strength was drained in an instant, and she knelt on the ground in a dejected manner, not daring to look up at the two people who were in charge of her life.

She understood what Emperor Jin An meant, and wanted to strangle all unstable factors in the cradle.

Standing in the position of His Highness, she agreed.

can stand in his own position, in the face of impending death, even if grief, anger, fear, helplessness, fear and all kinds of emotions are mixed...... But she didn't want to die either.

If they can live well, who wants to face an unknown death?

Qi Changrong looked directly into the unpredictable eyes of Emperor Jin An, and said lightly: "Father, she is innocent, the sinner has already been dealt with, why bother to entangle innocent people anymore?" ”

"Innocent?" Emperor Jin An's anger gradually rose: "Prince, you must know that no snowflake is innocent at the time of the avalanche!" If you let her go today, who will let you go in the future? ”

"Listen to me, kill her."

A cold voice full of murderous intent sounded from above, exploding in Shi Xia's ears like a thunderbolt, making her dizzy and tinnitus, and her soul seemed to be pulled away in an instant, unable to see the people around her, nor to hear the surrounding sounds.

"Erchen doesn't want to kill." Qi Changrong became more and more calm, and his eyes were indifferent to see through everything: "Kill her, who can still regulate the body of her son in the future?" ”

Emperor Jin'an's eyes were indifferent to everything, mighty

Yan's voice sounded again: "Kill her, I will give you a better one." ”

"Looking for another one?" Qi Changrong's delicate brows furrowed slightly: "Then in this world, isn't there another person who knows the secret of Erchen?" People's hearts are unpredictable, how can the father guarantee that that person will be loyal to the Qi royal family? ”

Hearing this, Emperor Jin Anhuang pursed the corners of his lips, and his eyes sank slightly.

"The prince insists on refusing to kill her?"

"Don't kill." Qi Changrong did not hesitate, and said after he was finished: "But, if my father can find a better choice at this time, it doesn't hurt to kill him." ”

Seeing that the two faced each other, Qi Changrong showed no sign of backing down, and Yuan Yi, who had been trying to minimize his sense of existence, couldn't help but cry out in his heart, very distressed.

As the emperor, His Majesty has been sitting firmly on the dragon chair for many years, and has supreme prestige in the court.

Now His Highness is actually working against him wholeheartedly, and he has contradicted His Majesty several times for the sake of a minion, for fear that he will anger His Majesty and make the situation worse.

Sure enough, Emperor Jin An's attitude became tougher, indifferent without a trace of emotion: "Kill her, the prince is reluctant?" ”

"It's just a minion, how can you talk about reluctance? Erchen just wants to make the most of it. ”

"That's it?"

"That's it."

One question and one answer, without the slightest smoke of gunpowder.

No one opened his mouth to disturb him, and if anyone suddenly opened his mouth now, he would inevitably become a target to bear the wrath of Emperor Jin An.

This anger was enough to burn everything in the Imperial Study to ashes.

On the other side, when he heard that Qi Changrong was fighting against His Majesty for himself, Shi Xia, who had lost his soul, reluctantly returned to his soul.

She looked up and looked ahead in a daze, only to see Qi Changrong standing in front of her like a relaxed heart, isolating Emperor Jin An's gaze at her.

Shi Xia had never felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so tall as at this moment, and that person stood in front of him, as if he could shield himself from all the wind and rain.

His Royal Highness saved Shi Chun and wanted to save her.

"If I have to kill her, what will happen to the prince?"

Hearing this, Qi Changrong's tense heartstrings loosened slightly, and he was no longer as tight as before.

She knew that this meant that her father had quietly changed his mind, at least not as murderous as before.

Thinking so, Qi Changrong's complexion did not change in the slightest, and he was still so indifferent.

She knew very well that she must not let her father find that he had too many emotional changes towards a minion, otherwise he would completely push Shi Xia to death.

"A minion is just a minion, how can he be compared to his father? If this is the case, the father will kill if he wants to, and the son just feels a pity. ”

Emperor Jin An stared at Qi Changrong tightly.

This is his most familiar and unfamiliar 'son'.

Qi Changrong looked back fearlessly, completely letting go of himself and letting Emperor Jin An take a look.

She didn't know if this answer would satisfy Emperor Jin An, so she could only try her best to show that she didn't care about Shi Xia.

Only if she doesn't care, her father won't care.

Fortunately, I don't know if her acting skills are too superb, or if Emperor Jin Anhuang doesn't want to delve into this matter at all.

A moment later, Emperor Jin An suddenly cast his gaze on Shi Xia, who was blocked by Qi Changrong.

"From now on, your life is the prince's."

"But if there is a betrayal, all nine clans will be destroyed."

……

Until she finally walked out of the imperial study, fresh air poured into her chest, and Shi Xia, who had escaped death, only felt that her legs were weak, if it weren't for the fear of losing her honor in front of the emperor, I am afraid that she would have collapsed on the ground without a fight.

She had never been so scared as she was today.

If His Highness hadn't had to protect her, she would have been a corpse now.

From morning to now, in just a few hours, she seems to have walked around on the edge of life and death, and lived again.

Ji Fang, who had been guarding outside the imperial study, saw that Xia Zhaoxun seemed to be unstable, and his heart suddenly trembled, and he was a little glad that he didn't go in.

Even if he didn't actually see the scene in the imperial study, he knew it must be dangerous.

Qi Changrong glanced at Ji Fang and briefly ordered: "Help Zhao Xun and go back to the East Palace." ”

As a eunuch, although he is a eunuch, he is still a man in the end.

Ji Fang has always avoided touching the prince's woman, but now that there is no palace maid beside him, and he can't let His Royal Highness the prince condescend to support the servants, he can only bite the bullet.

A few people returned to the East Palace, and the cleaned palace road gradually had the footprints of the palace people.

Under the eyes of those people, who were either curious or puzzled, Qi Changrong quickened his pace, and Shi Xia, who had already recovered some strength, also hurriedly followed, not stopping on the road for long.

After returning to the East Palace, Qi Changrong immediately ordered: "Prepare a tranquilizer for Zhao Xun." ”

Hearing this, Ji Fangru, who had never felt that her voice was so amiable, was pardoned, and immediately shook off the hand holding Shi Xia in response, and then left in a hurry.

After everyone left, Qi Changrong poured himself a cup of hot tea, and his expression was a little lazy.

It seems that he doesn't want to talk anymore.

Shi Xia dragged his weak legs and feet, slowly knelt down in front of Qi Changrong, kowtowed reverently, and said with palpitations: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, for saving your life." ”

"This is what you deserve, now your life is lonely, and you don't have to tell your father everything about lonely."

There is no such thing as inexplicable kindness in this world.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't betray himself when Shi Xia returned to Emperor Jin when he reported the news, how could Qi Changrong spend so much effort to pull people out of the swamp?

In the final analysis, it was Shi Xia who was loyal to her first, and it was she who saved the loyal slaves.

"It's okay to be alone, you go back to the small courtyard to rest first."

An indifferent and ruthless voice came from above, almost the same as Emperor Jin An.

Shi Xia, who had a shadow in her heart, only felt a chill in her heart, and the whole person walked outside uncontrollably, and by the time she reacted, she had already stepped on the threshold.

The workers who were sweeping in the courtyard looked at it curiously.

Almost instantly, Shi Xia's stiff body softened, and the corners of his mouth actually pulled a little smile, and he walked past everyone in the East Palace as if nothing happened.

No one was alerted to the anomaly.

……

The end of autumn is cold, and the yellow leaves are all over the streets, and the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning is to clean the front of your door.

After a short while, the fallen leaves were swept into a pile and piled up in the corner, and I don't know who lit the fire and threw it into the pile of fallen leaves, and in the blink of an eye, the fire burned, making a 'crackling' sound, and a puff of smoke wafted out.
