The sourness in Tuoba Yue's heart seemed to calm down a little, and he personally stepped forward to help He Xi up and said: "If it's really for this matter, why do you go in person, you don't know what he is like, if I hurt you from time to time, the gains outweigh the losses, I can send someone to try it." ”

He Xi quietly withdrew his hand and said lightly: "Tuoba Yue, what are you afraid of?" ”

Tuoba Yue didn't seem to expect He Xi's attitude to reverse so quickly, but there was a faint joy in his heart, as if such He Xi was a real person with flesh and blood.

But more, he was a little overwhelmed in his heart, like a child who had made a mistake, looking to hide his uneasiness, he said: "What can I be afraid of, well, since you want to know, I will let you go, but you have to promise me that you must ensure your own safety-"

He Xi knew that this was already Tuoba Yue's greatest accommodation, so she nodded and said, "Okay, as long as I ask what I want to know, I'll leave." ”

After understanding what was in their hearts, the two sat down, and they really looked like old friends, and the atmosphere was peaceful and a little weird.

In the evening, He Xi put on a dark blue coat, and carefully tied her hat for Ruyi, and then she left Lingxiu Palace, but she didn't want to wait for the person outside the palace to be Fuqing.

Thinking about it now, in this palace, only Fuqing is the most trusted by Tuoba Yue, but He Xi didn't expect that she was a little hesitant for a while, if the person who accompanied her tonight was Fuqing-

She and Ruyi glanced at each other, both of them saw a kind of worry from each other's seriousness, but the matter has come to this, this can be regarded as their last chance, thinking of this, He Xi curled up his fingers and said: "I didn't expect it to be Gonggong Fu, then there is Gonggong Lao——"

Fuqing raised the palace lamp in his hand that was constantly shaking with the cold wind, and said softly: "Niangniang's words are serious, the road is slippery in snow, your feet are slower, and the slave holds the lamp for you." ”

He Xi nodded, followed Ruyi's support and cautiously walked in the direction of the secret prison, no one knows.

Who knew that after only taking two steps, he saw He Xi's face change slightly, holding his abdomen, and he was busy as if he was in the mood: "Niangniang-what's wrong with you?" ”

Naturally, Fuqing is also nervous, he has long known the importance of He Xi, or the status of this woman in front of him in His Majesty's heart, otherwise, he would not use himself as her retreat in this harem.

He Xi said with some difficulty: "There is some abdominal pain in this palace-ah-"

Saying that, she exclaimed, she was already white, but now she was lined with white all over the ground, and she was more and more bloodless, Ruyi felt that her wrist was grabbed by He Xi, tightened, and her heart moved slightly, so she said: "I think it's because I'm tired today, it's better for us to go tomorrow-tomorrow, anyway, Your Majesty has already answered the mother-"

Hearing this, Fuqing hurriedly said: "Miss Ruyi is right, and invite Niangniang to return to the palace, so the slave went to the Tai Hospital and invited Doctor Lu to diagnose Niangniang's pulse——"

He Xi panted slightly, pursed his lips and shook his head, "No, this matter must be asked clearly today, Ruyi, help the palace up-"

Fuqing only felt embarrassed, if He Xi had three long and two short today, His Majesty would inevitably blame himself, and what about today's things to do secretly, not to be quiet, he was just one person, thinking about it, he still whispered to dissuade: "Niangniang, now that the prison is guarded by a special person, are you still worried about something, the most important thing now is your body——"

He Xi stood firm, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said slowly: "Father-in-law Fu doesn't know, there is indeed something important that must be asked, you see that this is feasible, you go to help me ask Imperial Doctor Lu first, wait for me outside the secret prison, just in case, Ruyi you go and call a reliable servant." ”

Fuqing faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out the key to it for a while.

He subconsciously wanted to go back to report to Tuoba Yue first, but he was afraid that he would have to delay a lot of work on the way back and forth, and if there was really an accident, it would be too late to deal with it, but he was only stubborn, and he had to hope that his feet would be faster, so as not to delay his efforts.

As he was talking, Ruyi had already brought out a little eunuch with a beautiful face, Fuqing looked at it, it was the eunuch who often served by He Xi's side, and he was faintly relieved in his heart, and after informing him, he went in the direction of the hospital.

After Fuqing left, He Xi said: "This place is not far from the secret prison, Ruyi, let's hurry up——"

The little eunuch hung his head and said, "Niangniang, the slave has prepared everything, and Mr. Liang is also waiting for you outside the palace." ”

He Xi nodded and led people to the direction of the secret prison, because there was an order before, He Xi easily entered, she had never entered here, she thought that the Shen Punishment Division was the most cruel place in this palace, but she didn't want the situation of this secret prison to be too late, the palace people guarding the door had obviously been instructed, and they didn't say much, but they just invited He Xi in.

He Xi only felt that his mouth and nose were blocked by a strong rancid smell, and he even stagnated his breath.

The eunuch obviously noticed something, but said with a smile: "Don't mind, Niangniang, whoever enters this secret prison will not be able to get out unless he dies, and in order to prevent anyone from escaping, it is naturally sealed, leaving only a small hole for air circulation." ”

He Xi nodded, passing by a few cells along the way, in the dim light, you could vaguely see someone huddled in a damp corner, muttering something, here, there was a deeper despair-

There is no light, no sound, and the darkness of the day after day will wear away their consciousness little by little.

The prison was long and narrow, and when I walked inside, I faintly heard the curse, it was Tuoba Chen.

The chamberlain took two steps, pointed to a cell in the far corner, and said, "He has been making a lot of noise since he came in, and his brothers have been annoying him, so they have locked him up here, and the mother has something to say——"

Ruyi hurriedly bowed down and said: "There is a father-in-law, and he took out a bright gold leaf from his waist, who knows that the waiter didn't move his eyebrows, but said calmly: "This errand was prepared by His Majesty, and the small one is waiting not far away——"

He Xi only realized at this time, why she had to die and couldn't come out, it was just a little eunuch who was not moved by the money, she didn't have to think about it in a hurry.

Tuoba Chen saw her figure, hurriedly approached, and when he saw that it was really He Xi, he said in surprise: "He Xi, it's really you—are you here to take me out?" ”

He Xi looked at him fixedly, his eyes were full of tears, and said, "Your Majesty, the queen committed suicide, and Concubine Hui also had a miscarriage, and went-they-they-"

A trace of impatience flashed in Tuobachen's eyes, but he forcibly suppressed the anger in his eyes, and softened his voice: "It's okay - as long as you and the child are okay - I will be relieved - how did you get in?" ”

He Xi lowered his face, and the disdain in his eyes became more and more intense, this is the man he once would rather give up his life to defend, his widowhood and luck, at this moment, he did not hide it at all.

Seeing that she was silent, Tuoba Chen said, "Tell me quickly, how did you get in?" ”

He Xi took a deep breath and said, "King Xian has not ascended the throne now, but has become the regent, and what he is waiting for is this child in the belly of the concubine——"

"He dares—he rebels—he—" Tuoba Chen shouted as if he had almost lost his mind, and he lost the slightest of his former steadyness.

He Xi burst into tears and said: "The concubine also used the life of the child in her womb as a threat, so he was willing to let the concubine see His Majesty for the last time, Your Majesty, what should we do——"

Her voice trembled a little in the silence of the prison, like a butterfly falling in the drizzle.

Tuoba Chen said: "I still have cronies, as long as I can get out, I will definitely lose everything I have and snatch it back from the hands of this chaotic minister and thief——"

He Xi wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, Your Majesty must have a way, as long as you can get out—but—"

As he was talking, he saw the little eunuch beside him and said, "The slave has a way to help His Majesty and Niangniang—"

He Xi seemed to be a little shocked and looked at his palace man: "What can you do?" ”

The little eunuch pointed to the lock on the prison and said, "The slave is an orphan, and when he didn't enter the palace, he couldn't eat enough, so he often stole - and it was because of this incident that he was arrested by the government and sent to the palace to do hard labor—"

Tuoba Chen's eyes were happy, he didn't care about this flawed lie at all, maybe when a person stayed in the dark for a long time, when a light appeared in front of his eyes, no matter whether there was any danger hidden behind the light, he couldn't care about it.

The little eunuch hurriedly stepped forward, but he didn't see how his hand moved, and the seemingly delicate lock clicked open.

Tuoba Chen was overjoyed, and the little eunuch said again: "The slave was originally served, or the mother was merciful, so that the slave was not beaten and scolded today, and the slave was willing to repay the kindness of the mother——"

Before He Xi could speak, he heard Tuoba Chen say earnestly: "It's difficult for you to have this heart, don't worry, this kindness, even if Concubine Xi doesn't remember it, I will remember it." ”

When he came out of the secret prison, he happened to bump into Fuqing and Lu Chuan waiting outside, and when he saw He Xi's expression as usual, Fuqing's heart was faintly relieved, but Lu Chuan couldn't help but worry: "How does Niangniang feel now?" ”

Tuoba Chen now saw Fuqing and felt that there was a thunder rolling in his heart, and he hated to dismantle him, but he knew that if he acted rashly at this time, he was afraid that he would lose all his efforts, so he hung his head and made a panicked look, the sky was dark, and the few people present did not even notice it.

He Xi looked at Lu Chuan's concerned expression, and said without feeling apologetic and guilty: "There is Lao Lu's Imperial Doctor, Xu is fetal movement, and now there is nothing to do." ”
