Ruyi returned to the palace and explained to Wei Pop about Nie Zheng, but Wei Pop was noncommittal.

In fact, Ruyi likes Nie Zheng's child a little, except for his hard mouth, his nature is not bad, and he may have been misled by his father-in-law, so he went astray. Ruyi had the intention to educate him.

Ruyi slept late that day, and woke up late the next morning. As soon as I finished washing, I saw Xia He hurriedly running in, "Miss, it's not good, the king has been assassinated." ”

"What's going on?" Ruyi grabbed Xia He's arm, "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”

"The king has suffered some minor injuries and is in a coma, it's not a big deal, the assassin has also been caught, but this assassin turned out to be Nie Zheng." Xia He looked at Ruyi with some indescribability.

Ruyi slowly let go of Xia He, "This is impossible, Nie Zheng's goal has always been me, there must be a misunderstanding in this." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise outside the courtyard, "Quick, fence this courtyard, and no one can be released." ”

Ruyi and Xia He glanced at each other, and walked out of the Shaohua Hall one after the other. The person who surrounded the courtyard was the chief manager Jiang beside the queen.

"Mr. Jiang, what does this mean?" Ruyi asked coldly.

"Girl, don't make noise with the old slave, if you dare to do it, you have to dare to do it." Manager Jiang said mockingly.

"What do I dare to do?" Ruyi asked with a frown.

"You slave, you dare to deceive the master." Xia He shouted.

"You know what you've done. Haha, the owner of the old slave is only the queen, what kind of master are you, I'm afraid you will be a prisoner in a while. Manager Jiang said arrogantly, "Don't look at the king's usual protection of you, but this time the ironclad evidence is like a mountain, and I am afraid that I am powerless." Come on, take it. ”

A few guards came up and were about to cut Ruyi's arm and drag it away, Ruyi struggled twice, and said threateningly, "Let go of me, I'll go by myself." ”

Several guards were so frightened that they immediately let go of their hands, and even Manager Jiang, who had seen the world, was startled, so he had to mumble in a low voice: "Let her go by herself." ”

Ruyi originally thought that she and Xia He would be escorted to the heavenly prison or dungeon, but what she didn't expect was to escort her to a cold palace.

The guards pushed them in and locked the courtyard door. The whole courtyard is dilapidated and depressed, with an eerie and terrifying atmosphere everywhere, pushing open the mottled and broken main hall gate, the dust that blows on the face chokes people can't stand upright, and there are cobwebs everywhere, which can't be blocked.

There was a bed with no legs in the corner of the room, and only three legs were left on the desk. There was nothing left in the house, except for piles of straw and a few broken strips of cloth. Some dark brown marks on the ground, I don't know if they were residual blood stains or some traces of secretions.

In short, the people who watched were disgusted.

"How can there be people living here? I'll go find them. Xia He was aggrieved and was going to run to call the door.

"Don't go, it's useless, she didn't lock me up in the dungeon, but chose such a place, just to disgust me." Ruyi said coldly.

"Miss, are you talking about the queen?" Xia He still couldn't believe that this was Yingman's doing, "Although the queen doesn't like us very much, it's still an old acquaintance, so it's not like it." ”

Ruyi just sneered, "I'm afraid it's not that I don't like it very much, but I hate it to the core." After saying that, Ruyi looked around, then relaxed again, and said with a chuckle, "Okay, let's find out if there is anything that can be used, and clean it up." ”

"Miss......" Ruyi looked at Ruyi pitifully.

Ruyi walked over and patted her on the back, and soothed, "I'm scared." It's okay, we're not still together, it'll pass. ”

Xia He smiled embarrassedly, "Miss said that I am like a child." ”

"Okay, hurry up and get busy, it should be dark in a while, the weather is as cold as a day, and it will be even colder at night, you have to quickly clean up a shelter from the wind and cold." Ruyi said as she ripped off the spider web.

Xia He was not afraid when she saw the young lady, what else was she afraid of. I also hurried out to find a water source, ready to wipe the only remaining bed and desk.

There was a big locust tree in the yard, the leaves were almost falling, the ground was full of dead leaves, and the wind rustled.

When Xia He came out, a gust of wind blew, Xia He shrunk his neck, just in time to see a corner of the well buried under the fallen leaves that were blown away by the wind.

"Miss, there's a well here." Xia He happily ran over and pulled away the fallen leaves piled on top to reveal the edge of the well, which had fallen into disrepair and was nowhere to be found, but it was always good to have a well anyway.

Xia He searched for a long time but didn't find a bucket, and finally found an iron rod with a rope at the edge of the well, and a rope hung down to the well, and it was estimated that there should be a bucket under the rope.

Xia He used all his strength to pull the bucket up, and there was still half a bucket of water in it, Xia He was happy and just wanted to greet Ruyi, but threw the bucket on the ground with an "ah". Then he shuddered and moved backwards.

Ruyi heard the shout and hurriedly ran over, "What's Xia He?" ”

"Dead ...... Dead person. Xia He's trembling speech was not neat.

Ruyi fixed his eyes on a skull floating in the bucket, and the white bones made the blisters even whiter, constantly floating in the shaking water.

Ruyi was also really startled, but quickly settled down. If there really are ghosts in the world, there should be nothing to be afraid of, and what is more terrible than people's hearts doing strange things.

When Wei Poppy woke up, he saw Ying Man sitting on the edge of the couch, with tears in his eyes, muttering something in his mouth, and gently stirring the medicine bowl in his hand.

Wei Poppy opened his mouth and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Ying Man said in surprise, "Your Majesty, you have finally woken up, not hard. Then he turned and shouted to the outer room, "Doctor, come and see, the king is awake." ”

The doctor came in and rechecked the pulse, and then said, "The king is fine, the sword only scratched the skin on the heart vein, although it seems to be dangerous, but it is only a skin wound. Wang Shang's fainting was mainly due to the recent physical malconditioning and lack of qi and blood caused by overwork. Stick to your medication and you'll be fine. ”

After saying this, Wei Poppy slowly remembered that he had passed through the back garden this morning and suddenly ran into the little assassin who followed Ruyi. Without saying a word, he came up and stabbed himself with a sword.

He thought that the young man's expression was strange, but he didn't expect that raising his hand was a sword, and he was stabbed without any defense, and then he fainted inexplicably.

Wei Poppy waved the doctor away and asked Ying Mandao, "Where is that little assassin?" ”

"I'm in prison and I'm pressing. A confession has already been made. Ying Man replied.

"Ruyi doesn't know yet, right? She would be sad to know that the child she trusted so much was not worth trusting. Wei Poppy said regretfully.

"I'm afraid that the Ruyi girl must not be sad, but will only hate him for not completing the task." Ying Man said word by word.

Wei Poppy frowned, his face instantly cold, "What do you mean?" ”

Ying Man got up and took a step back and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I don't know, the Great Sikou has already interrogated clearly, Nie Zheng has confessed, he was instructed by Miss Ruyi to assassinate the king." ”

"Impossible." Wei Poppy sat up suddenly, a heart-piercing pain in his chest, and quickly covered his chest with one hand.

Seeing this, Ying Man knelt down and took two steps forward, and said worriedly, "Don't move, the king, the wound should be oozing blood again." ”

Wei Poppy was willing to listen, slowed down, and was about to go to the ground, muttering in his mouth, "I don't believe it, I'm going to ask in person." "I just had a dizziness and had to sit on the couch.

Ying Man looked at Wei Poppy sadly, and said with some sadness, "Does the king have confidence in Miss Ruyi like this?" After many days, did the king not beat a drum in his heart at all? ”

When Wei Poppy heard this, it was as if he had been immobilized and maintained his posture just now, unable to move.

Does Ruyi really hate me? Would you like me to die? Wei Poppy's face was sad, and his heart hurt even more.

"If the king doesn't believe it, he will call the chief priest tomorrow and ask him, so it's better to recuperate from his injuries tonight."
