After that, Zhao Duo was handed over to a noble concubine in the palace to raise, because there is an unwritten rule in the palace, if any concubine unfortunately dies, her children will be raised by a concubine who has no heirs in the palace and has a more noble position. The concubine had no heirs all the year round, so she treated Zhao Duo as if she were her own, and instructed the maidservants in the palace to treat her as if she were her own.

Zhao Duo's treatment was more than a little better, and that was the first time he experienced the benefits of power and status. In the first month of being raised by the concubine, the eunuchs who had humiliated Zhao Duo and Jia Concubine before all died inexplicably in the palace, some fell into the water, some threw themselves into wells, but more of them hanged themselves.

For a while, the people in the palace were panicked, which attracted the attention of the emperor, and he wanted to punish Zhao Duo, but because of the concubine's intercession, he was exempted from punishment, but he preached a few words. Since then, Zhao Duo has become more and more lawless.

Zhao regained his senses, he looked at Jing Ning mockingly, and said softly, "I will drag you to hell together." His tone was very soft, but the coldness in it made Jing Ning tremble, she glared at Zhao Duo coldly, if it wasn't for the dagger being too far away from her, she would definitely make up for his heart.

Zhao Duo looked at Jing Ning with murderous intent on his face, and he sneered and said, "The young lady should care about herself first now." ”

He glanced at Song Yuan, at this time Song Yuan's underwear was already soaked with sweat, he felt as if his body was on fire, the kind of hot flowing in his limbs, but he couldn't find an outlet for catharsis, he clenched his fists tightly, his fingertips even pinched into his palms, and wisps of blood slowly seeped out.

"Brother Huang's endurance today really impresses me, tsk, it's not easy, but I want to remind you, if you don't understand, I can't guarantee that Brother Huang's life can stay."

With a gloating smile on his face, Zhao Duo picked up the cedar and draped it on his body, looking at Jing Ning and Song Yuan condescendingly.

"I'm done with that, I won't disturb the good things of the two, ha, I'm really curious what Xiao Rin's expression would be if he knew about this." Zhao Duo chuckled, his eyes full of evil.

"He'll kill you." Jing Ning looked at Zhao Duo coldly, his eyes full of coldness.

Zhao Duo's body stiffened slightly, and then he hooked up a cold smile and said, "Then let's try it." ”

Then he walked out, and at the same time there was a sound of footsteps, and Jing Ning probably sent someone to surround the place.

Jing Ning gently put down Qing Ting's corpse and looked at Song Yuan who was curled up on the side, if the person in front of him was really Zhao Yu at this time, Jing Ning would definitely run out without hesitation, because Zhao Yu would never be so wronged by himself, but the person in front of him was Song Yuan, although she was not familiar with him, but for some reason, Jing Ning firmly believed that Song Yuan would never do such a thing.

"Are you alright?" Jing Ning asked worriedly. Just now she listened to Zhao Duo's meaning, if this poison is not solved, Song Yuan's life may not be saved, at this time Song Yuan's body is still trembling, thinking that it is very hard to endure.

"Don't worry about me, you go quickly!" Song Yuan almost squeezed the words out between his teeth, and he caught a glimpse of the dagger that was still stained with blood on the side, and tried to move it over there.

Jing Ning frowned, although she wanted to leave, but not now, if she left, Song Yuan's fate would definitely not be saved, Zhao Duo didn't know what kind of tricks she would come up with to deal with Song Yuan, but at the moment she didn't know what she could do.

"You're going to let me figure it out." A thin layer of sweat oozed from Jing Ning's forehead, she was obviously very anxious, she was anxious to find a way, and she didn't notice Song Yuan's movements.

At this moment, the sound of a weapon entering his body sounded, Jing Ning hurriedly looked at Song Yuan in a panic, only to see that he had the dagger in his chest, and the placket of his clothes was instantly stained red with blood, as if a delicate red flower had bloomed on his chest.

Jing Ning panicked in her heart and hurriedly got up and ran to Song Yuan's side to kneel and sit down, she tore the hem of Song Yuan's clothes and wanted to bandage his wounds, but she had little strength, and she didn't dare to rashly pull out the dagger on Song Yuan's chest, and she couldn't do anything for a while.

"Don't save me, let me go find her." Song Yuan's voice was very weak, and he laboriously turned his head to look at Jing Ning, whose eyes were red, his eyes were very warm, and his eyes were full of relief.

Jing Ning looked at Song Yuan with complicated eyes, tears couldn't help but fall, she reached out and reached into Song Yuan's clothes, and gently removed the mask that trapped him for him, revealing a plain face.

"Thanks, ahem." Song Yuan's eyes flashed with gratitude, at the end of his life, Jing Ning let him be able to say his final goodbye to the world with his own face,

"Do you know, your temperament is very similar to Sisi, you are both kind women, cough, in fact, I am very happy to meet you and Xiao Rin, which makes me feel that the deep palace is a little more human." Song Yuan coughed up blood from time to time as he spoke, and Jing Ning couldn't cry anymore when he heard his words.

"Why do you have to be like this, maybe you still have a chance to live, why do you give up on yourself so easily." Jing Ning's voice was a little hoarse, with a thick nasal voice, and her watery eyes were full of incomprehension and sadness.

Song Yuan bent the corners of his mouth, his smile was clean and pure, and his eyes were also very clear, and he couldn't see the slightest impurity. Jing Ning couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"I don't want to hurt you, cough, don't be sad, it's a relief for me, it's just a little guilty, I didn't pretend to be him in the end." Song Yuan's eyes flashed with a little regret, but more of a relief.

Jing Ning understood what he meant in an instant, the * medicine was very strong, although Song Yuan was determined, but if he couldn't relieve the pain, maybe he would do something, and he was afraid of that result, so he would choose to end his life.

Jing Ning sobbed silently, she kept regretting in her heart that she hadn't beware of Zhao Duo earlier, otherwise what happened today would not have happened.

"Don't cry, I'm fine, cough, thank you and Xiao Rin for these days, as well as the Queen Mother." Song Yuan had a little smile on his face, and he tried to raise his hand, as if he wanted to wipe the tears from his face for Jing Ning, but he finally hung down weakly.

"Song Yuan? Song Yuan? Jing Ning softly called Song Yuan's name, she sighed softly, and put the mask on for him.

Jing Ning looked at the lifeless corpses of Song Yuan and Qing Ting, her eyes were cold, she repeated Zhao Duo's name in her heart, and every time she read it, her hatred for Zhao Duo increased by one point.

She hated Zhao Duo's indifference and ruthlessness, hated his unscrupulous means, and hated him even more for letting him lose two friends overnight, why did he have to exchange other people's lives for something as cold as power?

Jing Ning clenched his fists tightly, his fingertips were slightly blue because of the force, and his face was cold, as if frozen for thousands of miles.
