Father-in-law Guo really said a sentence to my heart, in a word, my prejudice against the emperor originally came from this.

"Actually, the emperor is no wonder about this matter. From beginning to end, it was arranged by the Queen Mother and her old man. As the saying goes: The son does not say anything about the mother's fault, and the emperor will bear the fault together, so as not to hate the queen mother. ”

I looked up in amazement, unexpectedly. All this time, did we blame him?

"The emperor did have selfish intentions at that time, but this selfishness was that he didn't want to marry Lan Ying'er to Prince Qi according to the queen mother's wishes. The Queen Mother's original intention was to let Lan Ying'er spy on the Qi Wangye, but this would inevitably make Lan Cheng's power in the court more and more powerful, so she did not stop the Queen Mother's temptation, and was happy to see it happen, let the situation develop, and finally let Lan Ying'er and the Qi Wang Ye have a gap. ”

I remained silent, staring at the bruise on my wrist from the bite of the poisonous insect, and my mind was full of thoughts. It turns out that over the years, the emperor has not given up on marrying Liang Ci and Lan Ying'er, and there is still such a reason.

Liang Ci and Gu Changan are both relatives of the Queen Mother, why is the Queen Mother biased to defend Liang Ci everywhere? Such a heavy suspicion? Liang Ci was thrown by the Queen Mother to the old man Tianyuan since he was a child, although he also had brocade clothes and jade food, and there were groups of guards, but the Queen Mother ignored it, was indifferent, and the relationship was distant and cold. Compared with Gu Chang'an, who enjoys thousands of pampering in the palace, how can there be such a big contrast?

"Miss Eleven, don't be careful, the old slave doesn't mean anything else, I just look at my emperor and feel distressed. There are many people around him, but no one has ever understood him and felt sorry for him. The old slave looked uncomfortable. ”

Guo Gonggong lowered his head, wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and his tone was a little choked.

I looked around for a week, but there was no half of it, so I curled up my legs with great difficulty, untied the footbells on my ankles, held them in my hands, and asked Gonggong Guo in a low voice: "Gonggong Guo, do you have a chance to meet the emperor and the queen mother?" ”

Gonggong Guo raised his head, his eyes were a little red: "If the emperor has something to order, he will send someone to spread the news, and Concubine Jin will let me meet with the emperor, but there will be people from the Bodhi Sect secretly watching on the side." ”

I took the opportunity to hand the medicine bowl back to Gonggong Guo, secretly stuffed the footbell in my hand into his palm, and whispered: "Gonggong Guo, please give him this string of footbells the next time you see the emperor." ”

Guo Gonggong took it suspiciously, a little inexplicable: "This, this ......"

I glanced alertly left and right, and then lowered my voice and said, "Whether the Qi prince can find the location where the emperor and the queen mother are being held depends on it." ”

Gonggong Guo was overjoyed when he heard this, carefully put the footbell into his cuffs, and said excitedly: "Miss Eleven, don't worry, I will definitely hand it over to the emperor myself." ”

I was relieved and relieved, if Guo Gonggong could do it, it would not be in vain for me to suffer.

"Father-in-law Guo, can you please help me get a basin of water in, I want to clean it up simply, so that I can rub the medicine for a while."

Guo Gonggong was overjoyed, and nodded busily: "Yes, yes!" ”

I trotted out, fetched a basin of water and placed it on the chair at my bedside, took the handkerchief from the side, hesitated for a moment, and then put away the tea tray, turned and quietly withdrew.

Tranquility returned to the house.

I mustered up my courage and twisted my body with great difficulty, poked my head out, and looked into the basin.

The water in the basin was as clear as a mirror, reflecting a miserable face.

Perhaps, it can't be called a face, but just a colorful dye palette, and you can't distinguish the facial features at all.

With a scream, I knocked over the basin and spilled water all over the ground.

I sat stupidly for a day and a night, not crying or making a fuss, like a puppet.

Later, I refused to eat, and I wanted to vomit when I remembered how I looked like a ghost, and the tip of my throat was always sour.

The master tried his best, begging, persuading, scolding, and constantly enlightening, but finally he was helpless, looking at me and crying secretly. Seeing the master's anxious appearance, I reluctantly stuffed the food into my mouth, swallowed it hard, turned around and spit it out, and almost vomited bile.

The master looked at me and sighed, crying in distress.

Su Qingqing and the veiled Lan Ying'er came to see me, and I stared straight at the top of the bed, ignoring them. The two of them laughed at me for a long time before they left satisfied.

My half-dead appearance allowed me to escape Su Qingqing's intensified torture, and she seemed to disdain to waste her thoughts on a lifeless person.

In the evening, Gonggong Guo found a person to deliver medicine to see me, and when there was no one around, he whispered to me that he had brought the footbell to the emperor, and asked me if I could inform the prince of Qi to help the emperor heal the love Gu as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Guo Gonggong Xu is the reason why he has been busy helping me boil medicine for the past two days, and his whole body is full of bitter medicinal fragrance.

I was stunned and didn't speak, because I didn't know how to inform Liang Ci, and I was so negligent that I forgot to think about it.

I calculated, it's been three days since I entered the palace, Liang Ci has been paying attention to the movements in the palace, what is happening here must not escape his ears and eyes, will he, desperately, take the risk of coming to the palace to save me in person? I am unrecognizable now, and I don't know each other when I meet each other, how can I have the face to see him?

At night, it's already late. I lay in bed, still not sleepy.

I pricked up my ears and listened to the wind outside, as if it was raining lightly. The continuous autumn rain knocked on the dead leaves outside, one by one, like tears falling into my heart.

I refused the master's offer to close the window for me when he was leaving, and it was a little cold in the room, and the air was quiet as if it had frozen.

I had some ambivalent expectations in my heart, thinking and fearing, what if someone would climb in through the window?

At last, there was movement, although it was very light and thin, inaudible, like the sound of cotton wool falling to the ground, but I heard the moaning of the dead leaves that were overwhelmed and broken. Then there was the muffled sound of the guards suddenly falling to the ground.

I sat up nervously, wrapping my whole face in a tight black cloth, my warm snort blowing back against my face. I panicked and tried to find a place to hide, but there was nowhere to go but to curl up in the shadows of the curtain at the foot of the bed.

Someone crept up to my door, put the tip of his sword in the crack of the door, and flicked the deadbolt with a delicate flick.

It's not him, is it? I thought to myself, he'd always liked to sneak in through the window.

The deadbolt opened, and a black figure crept into the room, nimble as a tanuki, bringing in a damp stream of rain.

It's not a cool speech, he doesn't have a cold speech on him.

"Who?" I asked in a low voice.

The person who came was obviously stunned, and then lowered his voice and said, "Qingwu, it's me!" ”

"Crazy Stone!" I exclaimed, "Why are you here?" ”

The rocks came toward my bed, and they reached out to lift the curtain of my tent.

"Don't!" I whispered in panic and reached out to clutch the bed net to stop him.

Crazy Stone's hand stiffened: "What's wrong?" Young woman? I heard that Su Qingqing, that femme fatale, poisoned you. How are you now? Is it better? ”

I couldn't help but shrink back again: "I'm fine, but a little skin trauma, I'm just disheveled, not very convenient......"

Crazy Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, otherwise Lord Qi will skin me alive." ”

As soon as I heard his name, my eyes were filled with water, and a sense of grievance welled up in my heart: "He, how can he ......?"

"Why didn't he come, did he?" Crazy Stone took my words: "He knew that you had entered the palace, and the whole person was like crazy, and he insisted on coming to the palace to save you, but was stopped by me and Mu Lin." I used all my strength and laid down a dozen traps to barely trap him.

Yesterday we received the news of your accident, and we didn't dare to let him know, and we have been hiding it from him. If you really have three strengths and two shortcomings, Mu Lin and I don't have to go back alive. ”

I held back the tears in my eyes and smiled bitterly: "Tell him on my behalf that a manly man stands up to the sky, how can he make the hard work of tens of thousands of soldiers fall short because of his children's personal feelings?" Bearing the scolding of the world? I can't afford this burden, Su Qingwen. ”

Crazy Stone whispered in annoyance: "Qingwu, I'm sorry, it's our selfishness that caused you to suffer like this, it's good if you don't blame me." ”

I reluctantly pulled the corners of my mouth, pretending to be relaxed: "How could it be, if it were me, I would have made such a decision." I have given my footbell to the Emperor, and you can follow the smell of jade to find the place where the Emperor and the Queen Mother are imprisoned. That's all I can do. ”

Crazy Shi was silent for a long time, and only after a long time did he say astringently: "Since it has been completed, without further ado, Qingwu, Mu Lin is waiting outside the palace to answer, you can go with me quickly." ”

I leaned back tiredly, and the tears on my face couldn't help but fall like rain. I bit my lower lip to keep myself from crying, but my voice trembled unconsciously as I spoke.

"Go back, Madstone. Putting aside whether you can escape safely with me, if I leave with you, I will definitely be startled, and my efforts will be in vain. What's more, the master, and the emperor are still in the hands of Su Qingqing, and it is inevitable that there will be variables. Please tell Liang Ci, I am very good, when he waves his army to recover Chang'an and capture the palace, I will wait for him here, you must be cautious, don't be rash. ”

After that, I choked on the tip of my throat and couldn't cry anymore. I could only cover my mouth tightly to prevent my choking sound from spilling out of my lips, so that the mad stone would not notice the slightest grievance in me.

The wild stone outside the tent was silent for a long time, stretched out his hand, reached out to the tent, and finally paused in front of the tent, and stood stiff for a long time, before he trembled and put down his hand, and a difficult voice squeezed out of his throat.

"Qingwu, promise me, no matter what happens to you or how hard you suffer, you must take care of yourself. Otherwise, Lord Qi and I will not be able to forgive ourselves for the rest of our lives. ”

Crazy Stone is delicate, and he must have vaguely guessed something, so he told him like this. I want to tell him that everything is of my own will, and has nothing to do with him at all. But he was afraid that as soon as he spoke, he couldn't help but collapse, howled, and was heard by the mad stone.

Therefore, I only said "um" very lightly, Rao is so, and there is still a crying tone in my voice.

Mad Stone sighed deeply, then turned, tiptoed, and flew away.

After a while, the guard outside the door glanced inside, closed the door, and cursed in a low voice: "Strange, why did you fall asleep?" ”
