Hearing that Xiaodao was going to take her to see Mu Lingzhi, Yu Ruyan was completely stunned. [No pop-ups. 】

On the dark and snowy night, Yu Ruyan finally stepped out of the gate of the East Palace.

All the way out with the knife stepping on the thick snow on the ground, Yu Ruyan's heart was both excited and uneasy, she didn't expect Mu Lingzhi to have returned to the Eastern Capital, and she was very happy in her heart.

But when he thought that he didn't come back to look for him, and there was no movement, he panicked from his heart, and subconsciously felt that something might have happened.

When the knife finally stopped, with the help of the not very bright palace lamp, Yu Ruyan saw the place in front of her vaguely, and her feet were soft, and she stumbled.

The palace lamp shone on the two cold big characters on the grotto in front of him---- Heavenly Prison!

Unexpectedly, the place where Xiaodao brought her was actually a prison for death criminals, and he clearly said that he brought her to see Mu Lingzhi, right

The possibility that she thought of in her heart had scared Yu Ruyan to the point of shattering, she looked at the knife in front of her in disbelief, only to see his expression hidden in the dim light, and only felt a gloomy and downright chill on his face.

Walking in and out with him step by step, Yu Ruyan felt that every step she took was a step towards hell.

The prison was even more eerie and terrifying than Jing Zhaoyin's cell, which was as silent as death, and every cell was closed like an iron bucket, and even a fly could not fly out.

At the end of the road, Xiaodao led her to stop at the door of a closed cell, motioned to the jailer to open a small window on the iron door, glanced in with cold eyes, took two steps back, and said coldly to Yu Ruyan: "Brother Huang is inside, sister take a good look at him!" ”

Although from the moment she stepped into the cell, Yu Ruyan had expected that Mu Lingzhi was locked up in the prison, but when she heard Xiaodao say it herself, she still didn't want to believe that all this was true.

She slowly approached the iron window sluggishly, just a glance, the blood coagulated all over her body, and her eyes suddenly widened. The heart stopped beating in an instant----

In the dark and dim dungeon, a dim corner lamp burned in the corner, and the dim light illuminated everything in the cell.

By the wall inside, there was a layer of straw on the ground, and on the straw pile, there was a man huddled, covered in blood, and his hair was messy and covered half of his face.

But even so, the blood-stained dark cloak on his body still made Yu Ruyan recognize the people inside----

It was Mu Lingzhi who she thought about day and night, always looking forward to him coming back to save her from the palace!

Emotional collapse in an instant!

Yu Ruyan has been waiting hard for Mu Lingzhi to come back and take her away, he is her last hope, but now. He was actually imprisoned in a prison, and he was dying of blood

In the next second, Yu Ruyan had collapsed and slammed her body against the iron prison door, calling Mu Lingzhi's name in pain, but the people inside didn't move, and they didn't reply to her words, and seemed to faint.

Yu Ruyan was about to go crazy, she turned around and threw herself in front of the knife, and couldn't help but slap the knife in the face, her eyes stared at the knife like a wolf, and shouted at him heartbreakingly: "You let His Highness come out, what did he do wrong?" Why do you do this to him"

Heart-rending voices echoed in the depths of the empty dungeon. Smell it, it makes people's hearts tremble!

Seeing Yu Ruyan's slap coming, the knife didn't move, allowing the loud slap to hit his face firmly.

With this palm, he felt a lot more comfortable, so when he saw that the guards around him were going to catch Yu Ruyan who was crazy, he raised his hand to stop them, but took two steps forward and said to Yu Ruyan: "Sister If you want to fight, you can beat it well, so I feel better!" ”

"I hate you! I hate you" Yu Ruyan looked at the motionless person in the cell, her heart hurt so much that she wanted to tear it apart, she couldn't hold back the hatred in her heart anymore, and roared at the knife.

"You let him out, why can you treat him like this, even if you are now in prison, but you can't brutalize him for no reason, you let him out quickly"

"Just because he assassinated me three years ago, I could have ended his life in no time."

Xiao Dao's cold words were extremely mad in the empty and cold prison, he looked at the distressed Yu Ruyan in front of him lightly, and said word by word: "Whether the imperial brother is alive or dead, it is all in my sister's thoughts!" ”

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan suddenly raised her head from the pain, and she looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. The eyes are desperate and gray----

It turned out that this was the ultimate goal of him bringing himself to the prison!

From beginning to end, Xiaodao's expression was unusually determined to look at her, quietly waiting for her final answer

Desperate eyes looked at the blood-stained man in the cell again, his whole body twitched from time to time, and the blood flowing from his body soaked the straw under him, dyeing the withered yellow grass into a dark blood, and in the dim and dim light, half of his face was also covered with blood

Yu Ruyan's heart has been immersed in the ice cave and can no longer float, she choked and called Mu Lingzhi's name in a choked and sad voice, but no matter how she called, he never gave her a response

"Will he die?"

"Don't worry, the royal brother has been fighting for several years and has lived on the knife, this injury is nothing to him!"

"Is it okay for me to let him go if I agree with you?"

There was a cold wind blowing, and under the dim lights on both sides of the Heavenly Prison Road, Yu Ruyan's face had lost a trace of blood, pale as paper, and the streamer's eyes had lost their last light, and there was no longer the slightest of their usual brilliance, as if there were two pools of dry wells, and there was no half of a wave

"When we get married, that's when he gets out of his cage and gets a new lease of life!" Xiao Dao didn't dare to look at Yu Ruyan's desperate and dead eyes, he looked coldly at the nothingness in front of him, and gritted his teeth.

When he walked out of the prison gate, there was a faint glimmer of light outside.

Along the way, her feet seemed to be filled with heavy lead stones and it was difficult to move, and Yu Ruyan felt in a trance that time had returned to not long ago, when she was in Jingzhao Yin Prison, and at that time, Mu Lingzhi tried her best to save herself from prison. And now, she can only watch him imprisoned

The faint light stung her eyes, and she closed them in exhaustion and despair, her feet empty, her body limp, and finally fell down the stone steps of the prison

After being carried back to Changle Palace by the knife, Yu Ruyan only had a shell left, and she didn't feel any pain when her right leg was broken, she lay on the bed blankly, looking at the emptiness above her head with empty eyes, and there was no trace of expression on her face

Falling down the high steps, her right leg twisted and turned, Xiaodao was heartbroken and summoned the entire Tai Hospital to help her with her bones.

The process of bone grafting was unusually painful, and the imperial doctors looked at the prince's roaring and anxious appearance, and they trembled with fright one by one, neither daring to hurt her, nor daring to make a mistake, and they were so frightened that they were at a loss.

The judge of the hospital wiped the sweat from his face. cautiously stepped forward and said to Yu Ruyan: "Niangniang, the process of bone grafting will be a little painful, and I hope that Niangniang will endure for a while, Weichen Weichen will definitely be careful." ”

Yu Ruyan didn't say a word, nor did she cry out for pain, she couldn't see everything in front of her in her mind, only Mu Ling was imprisoned in the heavenly prison with blood stained in front of her

And the knife was so heartbroken that her eyes were red, and he stepped forward to take her into his arms, let her lean on himself, and stretched out his hand to block her eyes, afraid that she would be afraid, and not let her look at the terrible appearance of the bones. The body trembled and said: "Sister, don't be afraid, I am here, I will protect you, it won't hurt, don't be afraid"

In the process of grafting, the sweat of the bean rolled down Yu Ruyan's face, but from beginning to end, she didn't open her mouth to exhale a pain, her teeth clenched, and she was desperate

Instead, he was holding her knife, and his heart was already hurting. He looked at Yu Ruyan's desperate appearance and the scars left by the fall all over his body, and for the first time felt a trace of regret for what he had done

For the sake of jade Ruyan, the knife was in the early dynasty of less than half a month in the Kankan prison country, and the matter was very shaken, and the former dynasty and the harem were all discussed.

And the fact that the entire imperial hospital was called to the East Palace early in the morning frightened the ministers, thinking that the prince was sick and worried.

And Empress Xie, who had been taking care of King Liang in the Imperial Palace, finally found out that something was wrong and immediately set up the East Palace.

When the queen and her entourage arrived at the East Palace, they were stopped at the door.

When Yu Linjun, who was guarding the palace, saw Queen Xie, he was stunned at first, and his heart was timid, but in the next moment, he remembered the prince's instructions and had to stop Queen Xie and his party at the gate of the palace with stiff hair.

Her face was dark, Queen Xie never arrived in the Daliang Palace and the place where she couldn't go, not to mention that the place she came from was still her own East Palace.

Moreover, seeing that the prince was actually transferred to the Yulin Army to guard the gate of the East Palace, he was shocked, and suddenly doubted all beings, and his sharp phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

Seeing her like this, Aunt Qin, who was beside her, knew that she was already angry, and hurriedly stepped forward and said to Yu Linjun who was stopping at the gate of the palace: "Bold, do you even dare to stop the queen's phoenix?" What presumptuous! ”

Aunt Qin's words shocked everyone present. Queen Xie's fierce temper is known to everyone in Daliang, so the Yulin army guarding the door trembled, and there was fear in their hearts!

But even if he was afraid in his heart, when he thought of the strict orders of the prince, the Yulin army guarding the palace did not dare to retreat for half a step, and the leader of the army stepped forward and stiffened his scalp, and stepped forward and said: "Hui Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered his subordinates to guard the palace, and strictly ordered that without his permission, no one is allowed to step into the East Palace for half a step, so please wait for a while." Forgive my subordinates to pass on the word first."

"Does this palace need to be passed on to his son's palace?" Without waiting for Aunt Qin to speak, Empress Xie's voice had come coldly, she slowly took two steps forward and came to the front of Yu Linjun, and said coldly: "The prince actually let Lin Yujun guard the palace, it seems that during the days when this palace was in the Imperial Palace, the prince actually did something great in the East Palace." In this way, today's East Palace, this palace must be entered! ”

After that, Empress Xie walked forward steadily, those Yulin troops could kill those who trespassed on the palace without mercy according to the prince's orders, but in the face of the dignified queen, or the prince's biological mother, where did they dare to really draw their swords!?

Seeing that it couldn't be stopped, the leader of the Yulin Army had already rushed to tell the prince. However, before Xiaodao heard the news and rushed from Changle Palace to stop him, the queen and his party had already arrived at the gate of Changle Palace.

Historically, the Changle Hall of the East Palace is the palace where the prince and concubine live, because the knife has not yet accepted the princess, this place has been empty before, and this time the queen came, but found that people came and went here, and the palace people and doctors were busy.

The queen was puzzled, and she kept walking, but she walked directly into the hall and collided head-on with the knife that came out.

The moment he saw Empress Xie, Xiao Dao's expression flashed with panic, and he hurriedly blocked Empress Xie's sight with his body, and muttered, "Why did the queen mother come without making a sound?" Come, please move to my Guangyang Palace! ”

Anyway, as usual, he affectionately took the queen's hand and wanted to take Queen Xie out to Guangyang Palace, but Queen Xie had doubts in her heart, and she was very curious about why the princess's palace was inhabited? Who are the dwellers?

And the panic in the expression of the knife can escape the queen's eyes, plus as soon as he comes, he is in a hurry to let himself leave here. It seems that there must be something wrong in this Changle Palace!

And Aunt Qin on the side saw a person lying on the bed in the dormitory the moment she entered the hall, although she was a little far away and couldn't see the appearance of the person on the bed, but the two maids guarding the bedside were the spring flowers and autumn moon that she was very familiar with.

Aren't they sent by themselves to serve the third princess, how could they appear in the prince's east palace, could it be that the person on the bed is actually there?

Just in an instant, Aunt Qin had already understood, and her face suddenly changed, and a layer of cold sweat gripped her back, and she finally understood in her heart. Why did the prince make such a big posture, so that the Yulin army guarded the East Palace like an iron bucket, and even the queen was not allowed to enter. It turned out that he hid his sister-in-law in the East Palace, or in the Changle Palace where the crown princess lived, could it be that the person he liked in his heart was the third princess, and the crown princess he was going to marry was also the third princess?

Aunt Qin, who understood everything, was cold, and before she could find a way to persuade Queen Xie to go home, Queen Xie was already coldly said to Xiaodao: "It's only been a long time since I saw the queen mother, but I even forgot the rules, and I didn't know how to salute and say hello when I saw the queen mother?" ”

Empress Xie usually loves knives very much, especially after he became the crown prince, and he was exempted from many of his usual etiquette.

But today I especially mentioned this matter, and it seems that the queen does not plan to leave.

The knife was shocked when he heard this, and he knew that he couldn't hide it after all.

But then he thought that there would be a day when he would let her know about the matter, so he calmly knelt down to ask the emperor for peace, and the palace people of Changle Palace also knelt behind him.

This time, without the deliberate obstruction of the knife, Queen Xie looked at it at a glance, and she could see everything in the palace clearly, and when she saw someone lying on the bed in the palace, she was stunned, and it was too late to let the knife and the palace people in one place equalize. I quickly came to the side of the bed and lifted the smoky blue bed!

Looking at each other, the queen was completely shocked!

In the bed tent, Yu Ruyan dragged up her injured leg and sat up, leaned down to the queen, and said with a bitter smile: "The son knocked on the queen mother, because of the injury on his leg, he couldn't get out of bed to ask the queen mother for peace, please punish the queen mother!" ”

Seeing that the person on the bed was actually Yuruyan, Queen Xie was like being held in front of her, and she was instantly stunned.

Shocked, she took a few steps back to stabilize herself, and Queen Xie couldn't figure it out. Why did Yu Ruyan appear in the prince's East Palace, and also lived in the princess's Changle Palace!?

In the next second, the queen already understood, and also understood the morning boycott, and what was going on with the Yulin Army at the door, it turned out that it was all for the woman in the bed!

The anger in her heart was ignited instantly, Queen Xie gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand to point at Yu Ruyan, and scolded with hatred: "Why are you here?" You slut, slut, Ling Zhicai went to the south a few days ago, and you came to confuse the prince again, this palace wants to kill you! ”

Thinking that Yu Ruyan actually lived in the palace of the crown princess, the meaning of this is self-evident, and the prince who had just been in charge of the country did not even go to the early court for her, Queen Xie, who was angry, lost the last of her senses, stepped forward, raised her hand and slapped Yu Ruyan in the face----

"Slut, this palace shouldn't have kept you a long time ago, and it should have killed you when you seduced Ling, you actually harmed my two sons, why did you ?!!?"

Queen Xie couldn't wait to beat the person on the bed to death with a slap, but seeing that the palm of her hand was about to fall on Yu Ruyan's face, the figure flashed, and the knives all pounced, blocking in front of Yu Ruyan, and took a strong slap from Queen Xie for her.

The long, sharp armor on Empress Xie's hand cut several deep blood marks on the face of the knife. Immediately beads of blood erupted from the wound and slid down the cheeks

The knife didn't feel it at all, and his hands were spread out to protect Yu Ruyan behind him.

Seeing this, Empress Xie's heart was so painful that she was suffocated, but she was extremely angry and disappointed, and she shouted at Xiaodao in disbelief: "Could it be that she is the person you said you liked before?"

"After returning to her mother, she is her!" Xiao Dao's eyes were also full of sadness and despair, he had always firmly believed that he also had the right to like Yu Ruyan, and he was also qualified to marry her.

But today I watched her fall down the high steps, watched her lose all sparkle in her eyes, and watched her lose a trace of emotion like a walking corpse. Suddenly. It was as if an extremely thin needle had pierced his heart, piercing a trace of his hard, iron-like heart

He couldn't help but ask himself first, was it really right for him to do this?

Now seeing the painful and desperate appearance of the queen mother, he can't bear it, and countless guilt and sadness come to his heart

However, now, there is no way back.

After firmly answering Queen Xie's words, Xiaodao knelt down in front of her again, and said in a trembling voice: "Everything is the child's opinion, please don't blame her, please don't blame her, and please let the queen mother fulfill us."

"We?!" Before the knife could finish speaking, a sharp sneer suddenly sounded. Empress Xie couldn't believe what she had heard and seen now.

Her fierce and terrifying gaze crossed the knife on the ground, looked straight at Yu Ruyan, who had not said a word on the bed, and gritted her teeth and said, "Slut, how can you be worthy of Ling Zhi and what he has done for you?" What kind of face do you let him show in the future, and how do you let the two brothers get along in the future? The prince is confused, are you also confused with him? ”

In the face of Empress Xie's questioning, Yu Ruyan's heart was as cold as iron, and now, she was willing to bear any crime, as long as she could save Mu Lingzhi's life. She can do anything, and she is willing to bear all the charges!

Looking at Queen Xie with blank eyes, she suddenly hooked her lips and smiled, and said in a cold voice: "Everything is arranged by the prince, and I ---- have no objection!" ”

Hearing this, Queen Xie's whole body was stunned, and in the next second, she was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she couldn't wait to step forward and kill her immediately. But the knife kept kneeling beside the bed, just protecting her behind her, so that the queen couldn't help her.

I don't know when, Xiaoru also came to Changle Palace, and she stood at the door and heard Yu Ruyan's words. Her eyes darkened, and her heart was extremely sad.

Thinking of what Yu Ruyan said to her before, she felt that she had been deceived, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Sister, do you remember what you said to me in the plum garden?" You kept saying that you would never be the crown princess, and asked me to help you find the queen's mother, but now that the mother is here, why are you backsliding again?! ”

Xiao Mushroom's words made the queen look surprised, but Xiao Dao looked clear.

Facing Xiao Mushroom's questioning, Yu Ruyan said indifferently: "People will change, make different choices at different times, the process is not important, the final outcome is the ultimate goal!"

When she said these words. The tone was as light as smoke, and his expression was also blank, without any guilt.

Seeing her describe it like this, Xiao Mushroom felt even more disappointed and sad----

Because she is also a Daqi person, and because she is the sister who saved Xiaodao, Xiaomushroom also treats Yu Ruyan as a relative in her heart, so she was obviously jealous of Xiaodao's kindness to her before, and she was still willing to take the risk to help her, but she didn't expect that she actually deceived herself

"Liar, you're a liar, I don't believe you anymore!"

The innocent and upright little mushroom was very sad and sad, on the one hand, the knife snubbed her, and on the other hand, Yu Ruyan's deception of herself, the little mushroom realized the terrible and unpredictable human nature for the first time, and cried sadly

The queen's scolding and Xiao Mushroom's accusation made Yu Ruyan have a splitting headache, but it didn't matter what others thought of her, now she had to marry Xiao Dao for Mu Lingzhi in the cell!

She held her head and curled up on the bed in pain. When Xiaodao saw it, he didn't care about the angry queen, and hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor to come in to see Yu Ruyan. And Empress Xie was also so angry that her mind was dizzy, and her body was about to fall, so she was helped to the side hall by Aunt Qin and Xiaoru to rest.

Queen Xie, who was relieved after drinking a cup of tea, could endure the evil breath in her heart, and was about to rush to the main hall again, but was stopped by Yulin Jun again, and the knife was also standing at the door and said solemnly: "Queen Mother." My edict has been issued, and three days later, the Hanrui Festival wedding will marry the crown princess, so, these days, my sister must take care of her foot injury as soon as possible, and ask the queen mother not to disturb her again. ”

After that, he coldly ordered the Yulin army beside him: "Escort the queen mother back to the Imperial Palace!" ”

Empress Xie never expected that he would dare to drive herself away, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Xiaodao said again: "Queen Mother, the time has come for my father to drink medicine, and the queen mother still goes back to serve my father well, I think, my father is also willing to see my wedding earlier." In this way, he can have peace of mind! ”

Empress Xie couldn't believe her ears, she was about to get angry, but her son knew in her heart that it was extremely inappropriate to clash with him head-on at this time, besides, he was now in charge of the country, he was the king, even if she was his mother, she had to respect.

But the more this is the case, the more determined Queen Xie is to get rid of Yu Ruyan, and she will not let her marry into the East Palace.

Three days came in a blink of an eye.

In the past three days, Yu Ruyan has been lying quietly in bed, eating and resting every hour, as if she has let go of all her troubles, not crying or making trouble, but never saying a word again.

And she has never stopped making clothes for Mu Lingzhi

On the contrary, Spring Flower and Autumn Moon secretly wiped their tears, crying sadly and their eyes red.

Because of the prince's wedding, the Hanrui Festival, which was the most lively in the Eastern Capital in previous years, is still lively this year, and the night before the Hanrui Festival, the entire Eastern Capital is already full of lights, making all preparations for the prince's wedding tomorrow.

Xiaodao, who is about to become the groom's official, is both excited in his heart, but also more and more nervous, listening to the news from the south, he sent 50,000 elite soldiers to guard the city wall of the eastern capital, and the Yulin army is to surround the entire East Palace and even the palace.

He was fully prepared, and finally ushered in his imperial brother Mu Lingzhi---- the undefeated god of war the night before the Hanrui Festival!

And the 'Mu Lingzhi' in the dungeon was just a stand-in that he specially found to make Yu Ruyan submit to marry him!

On the cold and awe-inspiring winter night, Mu Lingzhi heard that the Eastern Capital had come to report, and rushed back to Beijing with a fierce murderous aura.

In the jubilant East Palace, Queen Xie took advantage of the knife to leave the palace, but she came to Changle Palace with a bowl of bright crane top red in her hand
