That night, after a thorough search of the entire harem, everyone was a little panicked, speculating about what happened in the Yaohua Palace, and they couldn't spend this long night without peace.

On the second day, Xin Shiyu was scolded to death by the rod for failing to honor the emperor and framing Ying Meiren, and Tiancairen was beaten into the cold palace for murdering his concubine, and the two news spread throughout the harem.

The two concubines lost their position overnight, and the palace people were talking about it with a lively attitude, and the concubines were secretly happy, and there were two less competing opponents, and they all appliquéd yellow on the mirror, hoping that the next person to be favored would be themselves.

But to everyone's expectations, Shu Shiyu, who has lived in Yaohua Hall for a long time due to the wind and cold since entering the palace, has become everyone's new favorite, and she is the second concubine to be promoted to three levels at once after Hua Qingrao.

"! Big things are wrong! Fang Ruo hurried in and shouted.

Hua Qingrao fanned the fan leisurely, and said slowly: "Speak slowly, what's wrong?" ”

Fang Ruo touched her chest with her hand, eased her breath, and said urgently: "Niangniang, everyone ordered to give Tiancai a glass of poisonous wine, and it is estimated that the chamberlain is already on the way to the cold palace at this time!" ”

Hua Qingrao got up from her seat with a "rub", and ran briskly in the direction of the cold palace with a step.

When she arrived at the cold palace, she was already dripping with fine sweat. As soon as she pushed open the door of the cold palace, Yuan Lu was holding a glass of poisoned wine and handing it to Tian Cairen.

Hua Qingrao exclaimed: "Wait a minute! ”

Yuan Lu was startled by the sudden voice of a woman behind him, his hand shook, and the poisonous wine in the cup was spilled a little. He turned around and saw that Hua Qingrao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her hair was scattered due to sprinting. He glanced at the chamberlain beside him and ordered, "Go down first." ”

The chamberlain didn't know why, but he retreated anyway.

Yuan Lu saw that there were only three of them left in the hall, so he respectfully said to Hua Qing: "Niangniang, you shouldn't come here." ”

Hua Qingrao's breath also smoothed out, she stared at the talented person behind Yuan Lu, but she lost a lot of weight after not seeing her for a few days, and the days in this cold palace were really not easy. "There's nothing to do, Tian Cai is leaving, I should come and give me a ride."

Yuan Lu put the poisonous wine on the table beside him, turned around and said urgently: "Niangniang, this is the decree that everyone just made, and the rest of the masters in the palace may not believe it!" Niangniang, the people around you asked you to rush here, this intention is quite profound! ”

A wry smile appeared on Hua Qingrao's pale face, as soon as she heard the news, she rushed over, and she didn't have any extra reason to think about it. Now that she's here, and she's broken the rules, why bother about that.

She looked at Tian Cairen distressedly, "It's because I didn't think about it and affected the waiter." ”

"Where is Niangniang, Niangniang is the master's person, and Yuanlu will defend Niangniang." Yuan Lu said respectfully.

Sure enough, Yuan Lu is also Zhao Yu's person! Hua Qingrao's expression returned to calm, and she said calmly: "The chamberlain, don't worry about Qingrao's matter, since I have fallen into that person's trap, my lord should not be involved again, just report it to everyone truthfully." ”

"This..." Yuan Lu's face showed a little embarrassment.

Hua Qingrao said slowly: "If the prince asks, he will say that Qingrao insists on doing so." ”

Yuan Lu sighed, "Niangniang, you have crossed your identity this time, and everyone will definitely feel sorry for Niangniang because of this, and please make careful plans." ”

He glanced at Tiancairen and continued: "That Yuanlu retreated first, you and Tiancairen have something to say, don't worry, there is a small look outside." ”

"There's Lord Law." Hua Qingrao smiled and said.

Seeing Yuan Lu walking out, Tiancai got up and threw himself into Hua Qingrao's arms, and said in an aggrieved voice: "Sister Ying! ”

Hua Qingrao's eyes were full of sadness, she stroked Tian Cairen's head, and said softly: "It's my sister who doesn't have the ability to clear your grievances." ”

Tiancairen shook her head like a rattle, and she said in a choked voice, "No, I don't blame anyone, it's my fate to end up like this." If I could have heard Brother Xuan's words, I wouldn't have come to this deep palace where I cannibalize people and don't spit out bones. ”

She lowered her eyes and showed sadness, "It's just that I can't imagine that everyone doesn't believe me, and Sister Shu doesn't believe me either." ”

Hua Qingrao looked at the tears rolling in her eyes, and her heart tightened, "Since ancient times, they have been the most ruthless emperors, they are high-minded, pretentious, and disdainful of human life. As long as the country is in hand, even if there are souls everywhere, they will not hesitate. ”

She took Tiancairen into her arms in distress, "If you want to cry, cry, it will be better to cry." ”

Tiancairen tilted his head and forced back the tears in his eyes, "I won't cry, I want to be strong." She hugged Hua Qingrao's waist tightly with her hand and said softly, "Sister Ying, I want to ask you for something." ”

"You say."

"At the beginning, I insisted on entering the palace despite the opposition of my parents, and it was no longer filial. Now another cup of poisoned wine has been given to death, and I am afraid that they will not be able to bear it. I know that Sister Ying, your background is by no means as simple as a geisha in Qinglou, and I ask you to help me take care of my parents outside the palace. ”

Tian Cairen smiled sadly, "And Brother Xuan, I grew up with his childhood sweetheart, and I have always understood his intentions." Now that I have suddenly suffered this change, he must be looking for me to help me get rid of my crimes. If I let him know that I was given death, I was afraid that he would do something rebellious in a hurry, and I asked my sister to help me stop him then. ”

Tian Cairen let go of Hua Qingrao's hand, raised his head and showed a big smile, showing a smile while a teardrop fell. "Sister Ying promised me, let me go with peace of mind!"

Hua Qingrao's heart hurt like being pricked by a needle, and she breathed a big sigh of relief before she said the word "good".

When Tiancai heard his satisfactory answer, he smiled brightly and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. She turned around and picked up the wine glass on the table, and said in a trembling voice, "Sister Ying, let's go." ”

Hua Qingrao glanced at her nostalgically, turned around and walked out with the grief in her heart.

Hearing the sound of the door closing behind him, Tian Cairen smiled, raised his head and drank the cup of poisonous wine.

Hua Qingrao's face was full of sorrow, and she stumbled as she walked down the steps and almost fell. Fortunately, Yuan Lu's eyes were quick and he grabbed her body that was about to fall.

"!" He called out with concern.

Hua Qingrao pushed his hand away, stared at the front with her eyes in a daze, and staggered out of the cold palace. As soon as she walked out of the cold palace, she bumped into Pang Xuan, who was running and had an scorched face.

At the moment when the two passed by, Hua Qingrao grabbed him, and she said in a voice as calm as possible: "Don't go, she's already gone." But there was still a subtle trilling in his voice.

Pang Xuan's body trembled, he tilted his head and looked at Hua Qingrao and asked in disbelief, "What are you talking about?" His face suddenly changed, and he roared, "What are you talking about! ”

Hua Qingrao didn't dare to touch his eyes, she was afraid that her tears would fall uncontrollably.

Seeing that she hung her head and didn't speak, Pang Xuan broke free of her holding his hand with a strong backhand, and strode straight towards the cold palace.

Hua Qingrao's strength could not compare to him, and she turned around and stepped forward several times and couldn't pull it. Looking at his angry back, like a Shura crawling out of hell, she had to cry and say loudly: "She wants you to live!" She used her life to save you, how can you be worthy of her now! ”
