This is probably the longest sentence the emperor has ever said to me, but I was trembling with fright, I was just afraid of his innate imperial majesty, but now I am afraid of his imperial power from the bottom of my heart. The king wants his ministers to die, and it is not a lie. I can't afford this unclear compliment.

I didn't know how to fight back, so I could only kneel in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Thin sweat gradually oozed from his palms, and he was uncomfortable, but the emperor obviously didn't want to let me go like this, and my appearance of sitting on pins and needles fell in his eyes, which was an excellent way for him to take revenge on Li Xuan. The more this happens, the less cowardly I can show it.

He took a sip of the already cold tea in his hand, and said to me again, "I thought you would at least intercede for Li Xuan. “

When he talked about Li Xuan, there was a calm cruelty. ascended the throne at a young age, but was constrained by a powerful minister like Li Xuan, almost everything had to be condescended to the nobles and first ask Li Xuan for his nod before he could display the ambition of the emperor, how could he not hate Li Xuan?

He sat on the dragon chair and watched the two sides argue endlessly, until Shangguan Ao stood up and asked him to decide, he looked at Li Xuan, who was standing at the head of the hundred officials, and only asked: "I heard that the fox fur that Princess Xuan gave to Concubine Li as a congratulatory gift was produced in Qinzhou, and King Xuan and Qinzhou City Lord Qi Ao are old acquaintances?" “

Qi Ao, the city lord of Qinzhou, is the abolished prince of the southern kingdom, and everyone knows that if Li Xuan knows him, he advocates going to the southern kingdom at this time, for the territory of Great Qi or the abolition of the prince's throne? If he sent out an expedition for a mere waste prince and sacrificed the lives of the Great Qi soldiers, how many people would support him?

Once the seeds of doubt take root, they will sprout and grow, and sure enough, the courtiers are hesitant and hesitant. Only Li Xuan was still standing, and his posture was unparalleled. But what he wanted was not just to shake Li Xuan's prestige. Concubine Li had a miscarriage, and found musk on the white fox fur sent by Princess Xuan, although he explicitly ordered to block the news, but there has never been an impermeable wall in the world, and the next thing to fuel the fire is rumors. The crime of killing the emperor's heir, even Li Xuan, can't afford it.

He sent Li Xuan to the prison like this, and he was not in a hurry to uproot Li Xuan's henchmen, but held back and put a brake on his quiet. Asking Chen Fumi to invite me into the palace is just the beginning.

The emperor's words were like a cold wind, and I softened: "The courtiers are stupid, I don't know what to ask the emperor for?" “

He thought it was funny, and tapped the table with his fingers, and was very patient, and the voice was like a snake spitting red letters: "Naturally, I begged him not to die." He has no imperial power, and he still expects me to keep his official position for him? “

He seemed to be angry and asked me.

Cutting off the title and sparing him from dying, it would be a great fortune if he could leave his life, but the emperor hated Li Xuan to the core, how could he let Li Xuan go so easily, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured. I didn't think about it, I bowed my head to the ground and pleaded: "King Xuan's loyalty can be seen in heaven and earth, he has no intention of committing crimes, and I beg the emperor to be gracious." “

"Oh?" The emperor pondered my words carefully, and his expression seemed to be very hesitant, and he said coldly: "It is better for the princess to go to the palace and kneel outside the palace for a few hours, and let me think about it." “

My heart was cold, and I knew that he was making things difficult for me, but I still had to get up and walk out of the hall.

The moon that had hung in the night sky had long been obscured by dark clouds, and there was no bright color at all, and a few muffled thunders sounded in the distance, and it seemed that it was going to rain heavily. Chen Fu is still standing outside the temple gate, like a stone statue, waiting for the people in the hall to send him at any time.

The emperor did not say that I should kneel on the corridor or in the open air, I think he hated Li Xuan so much, he must have seen that the more embarrassed I was, the more he relieved his hatred, so he simply found a flat place to kneel down under the stone steps, which was not warmer than in the hall, and I shivered a few times before I felt better.

The hall was still brightly lit, and outside the hall, Chen Fu and I were standing and kneeling, silent.

Sure enough, within a moment, a thunderstorm raged, and the raindrops the size of beans poured down, mercilessly hitting me, seeping into my dress, cold and cold. A huge curtain of rain formed between heaven and earth, and soon I couldn't even see the way out of the Dragon Teng Palace clearly, and my ears were full of dense rain sounds, and there was a blur everywhere.

I was cold, my teeth chattered, and the hem of my scarlet dress was soaked by the rain, and it was ugly and ugly on the ground, like a blood-stained flower, gorgeous and enchanting. Chen Fu didn't even look at me, and his expression remained unchanged.

Kneeling and kneeling, my head was dizzy, buzzing, and my consciousness began to be chaotic, I shook my head vigorously, trying to stay awake, Li Xuan was still suffering in prison, I just knelt for a few hours, and I could hold on. As soon as the day dawns, it passes.

Through the rain curtain, I seemed to see Chen Fu enter the hall, and after a while, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and it seemed that the emperor had finally finished approving the recital and rested.

I felt the strength in my body draining, little by little from my body, I fell to my knees stiffly, and then my knees were numb and completely unconscious, and the sky finally had a glimmer of light.

But I obviously thought too much of the emperor for it, and when I saw that in the early morning, the rain had stopped, and there was still no one to send a decree to me to get up. I could only keep kneeling in this position. By this point, I didn't even have the strength to cry. The dress that hasn't dried is sticking to my body, wet and sticky, and I don't care about it, I just think that the emperor can let Li Xuan go, and it's worth it for me to suffer.

When I was most embarrassed and helpless, the queen came dressed up, she will always be a noble and graceful peony that is always undefeated, when she saw me, she was shocked, and quickly waved her sleeves to let Yujin and Jiang Gonggong work together to help me, I shook my head weakly, signaling that I would not get up.

The queen's face was not very good-looking, and I knew that she was worried about me, and tried to pull a smile at her. I looked like a lost dog, wet all over, and I was embarrassed from head to toe, but fortunately, no one saw me except them.

She had to tell Yujin to guard me well, and she went into the palace to meet the emperor, as long as the emperor stayed in Longteng Palace, she would come to call him up early in the morning, her virtue was not in vain, and it was not easy for her to do so well for the queen.

Father-in-law Jiang took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to me, and said softly: "If the princess doesn't dislike it, please wipe it with the slave's handkerchief first." “

I thanked him, raised his heavy hand and took the handkerchief, this square handkerchief was as white as new, it was clearly he followed the queen to the Longteng Palace before he took it, he is really a careful person. I wiped my face, and the light makeup had been drenched by the rain, and there was not even a trace of fat powder left.

Finally waited for the queen to come out, I breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that the emperor would keep his promise to me, the queen came and persuaded me: "Qin Xi, the emperor has ordered you to leave the palace last night, why are you suffering?" This palace has begged the emperor's subordinates to be merciful, and will not implicate you because of the affairs of the court. “

My whole person collapsed because of the queen's words, the emperor not only did not keep his word, but implied that the queen insisted on entering the palace to plead for Li Xuan, and even knelt outside the Longteng Palace to "persecute" the emperor, I was full of grievances but had nowhere to say, it was really wronged.

The queen said: "Go back, what the emperor is determined to do, who can change the holy will?" “

I knew that I was powerless to argue, and I no longer struggled with it, I just begged the queen like grasping a life-saving straw, and my voice was hoarse: "Queen Mother, Qin Xi beg—please ask the emperor for permission—let me see Li Xuan—just one side—just one side." “

As long as I see him well.

The queen sighed, but she couldn't resist me: "You are really-that's it, this palace will ask the emperor for you." “

"Queen Xi, Qin Xi will never forget her kindness until she dies." At the moment, no one is willing to help me except the queen mother.

The emperor couldn't bear to brush the queen's face, and agreed that I would go to the prison to see Li Xuan. I hate the emperor, but I still worship the main hall sincerely.

My legs were numb and unconscious, and when I stood up, the pain was unbearable, and I almost didn't fall, thanks to Jiang Gonggong and Yujin supporting me left and right, I got up and thanked the queen repeatedly, she frowned slightly, and ordered Yujin to take me to Fengyi Palace to change into a set of refreshing clothes, and then carefully freshen up: "I will go to see King Xuan later, it's not good for him to worry about your situation again." ”

One sentence made my heart sour, I just wanted Li Xuan to never know about my embarrassment and humiliation last night.
