Cheng Jieyu looked at her stupidly, and said with a smile: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, why should Niangniang be stubborn?" This Tian clan is already in the waning days, and they are approaching death, according to the concubines, the good concubine's heart should be more flustered than anyone else. I just don't know, whether Niangniang wants to fall into the well and draw a clear line with the Tian family, or whether she is not ungrateful and repays the old master, and the concubines will wait and see. ”

She said that, turned around and walked out of the Lantai Palace.

Liu Februaryi spat at her back, and then leaned down to Shen Yunzhen and said: "Cheng Jieyu has always been bitter and mean, her words don't have to be taken to heart. ”

Shen Yunzhen glanced at her and didn't speak.

How could she not take this matter to heart? At the beginning, Tian could have beaten the child out and covered it up by calling it sick, and this matter would not be noticed by anyone at all. It's all because of her, if she hadn't used Tian Zhaorong at the beginning, things wouldn't have developed to this point at all. She is sorry for Tian Zhaorong, sorry for that child, and even more sorry for Nan Jingpei.

The pain in her heart, the dull pain seemed to be peeling off the cocoon, revealing layer by layer.

Liu Eryue saw that there was cold sweat on her forehead, and hurriedly asked, "Is the master okay?" Do you want the slave to call the doctor? ”

She pressed Liu February's hand and waved weakly: "Godmother, I did something wrong." ”

Liu Eryue was stunned for a moment, and slowly squatted in front of her: "Could it be that what Cheng Jieyu said is true?" ”

She nodded weakly: "I was confused for a while and made a big mistake." ”

Liu February's hand was tightly clasped and reassured: "Master, don't think too much, Cheng Jieyu said this today just to stimulate the master." She is a red-eyed master who is pregnant with a little prince in her belly, but she is not favored, so she came to sow discord. If the master thinks too much, it will not be good for the fetus in the womb. ”

Having said that, the truth is not like this, how Cheng Jieyu calculates is Cheng Jieyu's business, but Shen Yunzhen's harm to Tian Zhaorong and Nan Jingpei is genuine.

"Godmother, you help me inquire, see where Tian Zhaorong and the child are locked up now, and then ask the emperor how he plans to deal with the Tian family." She was a little dizzy, and weakly pushed Liu February: "Go quickly." ”

Liu February's answer, and then felt that something was wrong.

"Could it be that the master really wants to save the Tian family?" Liu Februaryyi grabbed Shen Yunzhen's hand: "This can't be done, the master must not contaminate the Tian family's case now." ”

She also knew in her heart that the Tian family was guilty of bullying the monarch, and if she was also involved in the case, even if Nan Jingpei wanted to protect her, I am afraid that it would be difficult for the law to tolerate it. Nan Jingpei has been blocking the news, and she is not allowed to ask more, doesn't she just want to involve her closely.

He knows her character too well, she has always dared to act, if she knew about the incident of Tian's East Window, she would definitely not sit idly by, she was loyal, and she would only drive herself to a dead end. She was not afraid of death, but he was afraid, she was the love of his life, and he couldn't watch her fall into a desperate situation step by step.

"What the master should do now is to quickly confess to the emperor and plead for the sake of the emperor's heir in the womb and his past love, maybe he can save the master. This is not the time to act rashly, and we would rather be called ungrateful than be accused of bullying and rebellion. ”

She stared at Liu February, convicted? It was as if she was innocent.

"It was I who harmed Tian Zhaorong, she could have spent her life in the palace peacefully, it was me, it was I who forced her to compete for favor, and it was I who persuaded Tian Zhaorong to give birth to the child in order to take revenge on the emperor." With red eyes, she grabbed Liu February's shirt: "Godmother, I hurt her, it's all my fault." I'm sorry for Tian Zhaorong, and I'm even more sorry for the emperor. I'm dizzy, I'm ......"

She struggled to stand up and walked out the door, but Liu Eryue hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to see the emperor, I'll bear all the blame alone, I can't hide here and let others suffer for me."

"Don't go, I won't let you go!" Liu Eryue hugged her: "You go, but you want to stab the sky, you can die, but what about the child in the womb, what should the emperor do?" He went to great lengths to protect you, was it to see you like this today, and resolutely die? ”

Child...... She stopped and looked at Liu Eryue in surprise.

There was a surge of qi around his body, ready to break through the top of his head. The dull pain in her heart, like thorns growing in the flat ground, spread all over her body, tightly wound her, and the breath tried her best to climb up, as if it stirred her throat.

She covered her mouth and coughed softly, but felt a fishy sweetness in her mouth. Spread out the palm of his hand, and there were a few drops of bright red blood in the palm of his hand. Liu February's time to scream, she coughed violently again, hot blood rushed out from between her fingers, she shook twice, and fell to the ground lightly......

When I woke up again, it was already late at night. Nan Jingpei had been guarding her all the time, Xu was too tired, he gently leaned on her side and closed his eyes to recuperate. She reached out and checked her pulse, and although she was a little weak, the child in her womb was still there.

This slight movement startled him, and he sat up straight and asked softly, "Are you awake?" ”

His eyes were full of pity, and those eyes were like a puddle of clear water, as if he wanted to melt her into them.

She tugged at his sleeve, and he leaned over and hugged her: "Are you still uncomfortable?" ”

Her hand gradually drew into his back, and he took her around her, gently stroking her hair.

"I can't help you." She said.

A little wetness ran down his cheek, and it was her tears. Nan Jingpei smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "I know you didn't mean it, it's also strange to me, if I had told you the truth earlier, you wouldn't have done it." ”

He was always in the habit of taking her fault on himself, and she felt more and more remorseful in her heart. Even if he could scold her with righteous indignation, she would feel better, but he was always so tolerant of her. She felt more and more heartwarming, hugged him tightly, but the tears could not be stopped.

When I was a child, I often heard people say that if you take a wrong step, you will never recover. Now I know that regret is so unforgettable.

He coaxed her, just as he did when he was a child.

She was brought to the palace to play when she was a child, and every time she played hide and seek, she lost. Shin Oh is a master of hide and seek, and her hiding place is always unexpected, so she can't find it every time. Sometimes, she was led into the rockery of the Imperial Garden, and she cried a handful of snot and tears. At that time, he wiped her tears and coaxed her so gently. It's a pity that at that time, he and she were not good friends, and they would not rely on his gentleness so much.

She trembled from crying, and he could clearly feel the arms she was holding him fluttering more and more. He stroked her cheek, wiped away a handful of tears, and said softly, "Don't cry, I know you didn't mean to." ”

There are still many military affairs that he needs to make decisions, and he can't stay in Lantai Palace for too long. accompanied her for a while, and seeing that she was not crying, he hurried back to the imperial study to deal with government affairs.

Liu Eryue wet a handkerchief, sent it to her hand and said, "Master wipe your face." ”

She stroked Liu February's wrist and said softly: "Godmother, you help me freshen up, let's go to the prison." ”

"Master......" Liu Eryue looked at her distractedly.

She only smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I've figured it out, and it'll be fine." ”

People always describe the prison as a purgatory on earth, but that is just imagination, and only those who have been there know that hell on earth is not enough to describe the horror of this prison in 1/10,000.

The prisoners were described as withered and ghostly, as if their souls had been stripped away, and the corpses were lying in the weeds. Yellow hay lay on the ground, some of which had been blackened with blood and stenched. The faint yellow lights trembled, like ghosts and fires in the cemetery. The voice of resentment* is like a song of lamentation, which hits people's hearts.

The Shen family was all imprisoned here before they were beheaded, and she couldn't imagine how tortured they were before they died, and how life was worse than death.

Liu Eryue shuddered, leaned beside Shen Yunzhen, and said in a low voice: "Master, let's go back, right?" ”

She slapped the back of Liu February's hand twice: "Don't be afraid. ”

The prison master carried a bunch of copper keys, and with each step, there was a sound like the collision of silver bells. The prison was empty and silent, and the crisp sound rang out in all directions, like light refracting on a bronze mirror, striking the walls and bouncing back.

The warden led them to a cell at the very end: "Master, this is it. ”

Liu February's hand stuffed a piece of silver into the prison director's hand and said, "You step back first and let the master have a few words with her." ”

Shen Yunzhen stroked the thick wooden fence and looked inside. In this cramped cell, an unkempt woman huddled in the corner, dressed in the red of a death row inmate, hummed a children's song faintly. The baby in her arms slept quietly, without crying or making a fuss.

Liu February's softly called her, and she was as alert as a hare hiding in the grass, and when she saw that the person outside the wooden fence was Shen Yunzhen, she rolled and climbed on the fence.

"The sinner woman knocks on the good concubine."

When Shen Yunzhen heard her say this, she didn't feel her heart tremble, and slowly squatted down: "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

Tian Zhaorong hid his face and whimpered, and the past came to his heart, like a dream, just brilliant to the extreme, and then fell into the dust in an instant.

Her cry alarmed the baby in her arms, and the baby grinned and howled. Shen Yunzhen reached out and probed, and the baby's forehead was actually hot. Tian was busy with his sorrows, bowing his head and coaxing the baby in his arms.

"When you wanted to kill him, I persuaded you to give birth. If it weren't for that, you wouldn't be where you are today. Shen Yunzhen sighed: "After all, I can't stand you." ”

"It's all my own doing, and it has nothing to do with my mother." Tian smiled bitterly for a while, this was because she couldn't bear the loneliness of the deep palace and made a big mistake. Falling to this point today, it is also considered that he deserves it, and he can't complain about others. It's a pity that she is going to die now, and she can no longer protect the child she desperately gave birth to, and she can't protect the family she loves so hard.

Tian slowly raised his head and said, "Concubine Liang, can I ask you one last thing?" ”
