Ruyi and Xia He simply cleaned up a corner of the cold palace, piled up the dry straw on the couch, and the two curled up in it to barely resist the cold of the night.

Only some leftovers were delivered for dinner, and neither of them used much. Even more hungry in this cold wind.

"Miss, do you think the king will believe us?" Xia He asked cautiously.

If Ruyi had answered Xia He without hesitation, he would have believed us. But now she is really a little unsure, people's hearts will change, Wei Pop is no longer the amiable cousin who took her to watch the stars and the moon and watch the sunrise in the past. He is now a king, a king of life and death.

"Let's watch tonight." Ruyi looked out the window and said.

If Wei Poppy comes to save himself tonight, then it means that he still believes in himself, and if he doesn't come, then it means that he already has doubts in his heart. I can only save myself on my own.

The stars and moon are still bright outside the window, but the person who watched the stars and admired the moon together is gone.

Ruyi stayed awake all night, and as time passed, Ruyi's heart also cooled down a little bit.

Now she has to find a way to get out, and only when she gets out can there be hope.

It wasn't until it was dark that Ruyi barely fell asleep, but he didn't sleep well. Some of the fragments in the dream turned out to be the days when my mother fled with my brother and herself before the fire. It seems that the memory is returning little by little.

When Ruyi woke up, it was already dark, and Xia He had already brought the food from the door, and it was still leftovers, but fortunately, the weather was cold and there was no rancid taste.

Ruyi thought that she had to eat and live before she could think about anything else, so she picked up the dishes and chopsticks and prepared to eat. But he heard the sound of the door opening at the door, and Xia He stood up happily all of a sudden. Ruyi sat still and didn't move.

Coming in was a graceful and luxurious queen, followed by the chief envoy. Xia He's joy was extinguished in an instant.

"Yo, why does Sister Ruyi eat my leftovers?" Ying Man looked at Ruyi, who was sitting there with a rice bowl, and said with a wicked smile.

"Don't deceive people too much, I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be a femme fatale." Xia He suddenly exploded like a lit cannonball.

"Before the master could speak, the dog barked first, and it was really a good dog." Ying Man looked at Xia He contemptuously and said.

If Xia He couldn't stand the excitement, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up, pulled Xia He's sleeve, and then pulled Xia He to walk past Ying Man in disregard, and then turned his head to Xia He and said, "You let the dog bite it, do you want to bite it back." Isn't it self-defeating to see things like animals? ”

Xia He sneered when he heard it, his own young lady usually seems to be gentle and polite, but the number of scolding paragraphs is high enough.

Seeing that his demonstration did not have the desired effect, Ying Man blushed angrily, stretched out a finger, pointed to Ruyi's back and said, "Don't expect the king to come up and save you, he won't believe you for a long time." ”

Ruyi didn't look back or pause, just said lightly, "I never counted on others." ”

Ying Man is angry, Ruyi can still look noble and calm in such a situation, she must let Ruyi go down to the dust. During the whole process, Ying Yun didn't say a word.

Ying Man flicked his sleeves and left angrily, but he didn't see Ying Yun fall a note out of his cuff when he turned around.

When Ruyi came back, he happened to see the note on the ground, picked it up and looked at it, only to see that it was written: "The dish is poisonous, see you at the door in the back corner of the house." ”

Xia He also leaned over to see, "Who will write this?" ”

"There were only two people who came in just now, one wished I was dead, and the other didn't speak. Who else do you say? ”

"That's right, I just wondered why the person who is so talkative in his usual days didn't say a word today." Xia He said quickly.

"Miss, do you think she really wants to help us?"

"More than half of it should be true, at least she doesn't want me to die." Ruyi said thoughtfully.

"Then we'll meet her in the evening and hear what she has to say."

In the middle of the night, Ruyi and Xia He were waiting at the back corner door. It was very cold at night, and the two of them stomped their feet and rubbed their hands from time to time.

Xia He also complained in a low voice, "It won't be a lie to us, deliberately manipulating us, right?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a soft cat meow from outside the corner door, followed by three slams on the door.

Ruyi looked out through the crack between the two doors, and sure enough, he saw Ying Yun standing outside the door, not even a maid.

Ruyi also tapped the door three times and learned a cat meow.

Then I saw four steamed buns stuffed in along the crack in the door, and Xia He hurriedly took the steamed buns. I heard a whisper outside, "Don't eat the food that was delivered in the future, there is * in it." I have already bought the guards on this shift, and I will bring you food every day. I'll find a way to get you out. ”

"Why are you helping us?" Ruyi asked.

I only heard the silence for a while before he said, "I don't want you to die, because if you die, you will occupy the king's heart forever, and no one else will have a chance to walk in." Unlike the Queen, I only ask for a relationship. After that, there was no more sound over there.

Ruyi saw through the crack in the door, and only had time to see a figure that turned away.

"Miss, do you believe her?" Xia He asked hesitantly.

"She's a person who understands. I believe in her. Ruyi said yes.

On the morning of the third day, Wei Poppy still didn't come, and Ruyi knew that this time it might not be so easy to break the game.

At this time, Wei Poppy was actually very anxious, and he personally reported the case and the interrogation in front of the civil and military officials. There are new circumstances in the case, and Sun Bin's newlywed wife, Su Ruiqing, the county lord of Zhao State, is involved.

According to the confession of the old housekeeper of the Sun Mansion, Su Ruiqing found a correspondence between Su Ruiqing and Wu Ming, and one of the letters was to ask her to assassinate Wei Poppy. And because Su Ruiqing was friendly with Ruyi, the two colluded to do the assassination game, and the three of them left together to go to Qi State. Although Su Ruiqing said that she had not seen the letter asking her to assassinate Wei Poppy, it was difficult for the witnesses to prove their innocence.

According to the housekeeper, Sun Bin had already had the heart to join the Qi country, and received a letter from the Qi country, and made an appointment with Ruyi to return to the Qi country.

And the purpose of Ruyi's assassination was naturally to leave Wei and defect to Qi.

Originally, Wei Poppy thought that he would release Ruyi no matter what he wanted today, but after such a trouble, all the civil and military officials knew about it, and there was the constant persuasion of the old ministers, and even Wei Poppy couldn't control the development of things.

Now Su Ruiqing is also detained, and Sun Bin is also suspected and temporarily detained in the mansion.

The scope of the matter is getting wider and wider, and although Wei Poppy is anxious, there is no better way. Wei Poppy wanted to go and see Ruyi, but he was afraid that he didn't know what to say when facing Ruyi, and he was afraid of facing Ruyi's disappointed gaze. Thinking of this, Wei Poppy had to sit down dejectedly.

That night, because of his suspicions, he missed the best opportunity to rescue Ruyi, and now that things have developed out of control, even if he believes Ruyi now, he can't break this seamless interlocking net now, before confiscating the net, he didn't make a move, and after closing the net, it was too late for him to make a move.

Wei Poppy was immersed in his thoughts, but there was a voice from outside the hall asking for a meeting. Wei Poppy almost forgot that he still had such a long envoy. Since Ruyi rejected Ying Yun, Wei Poppy has never summoned Ying Yun again, and she can't find out Ruyi's news, so it's useless.

But at this time, Ying Yun came to see again. Wei Poppy was a little upset and didn't want to see him, so he waved his hand to let the attendant send him away.

Ying Yun seemed to know that Wei Poppy didn't want to see her, so she shouted outside the palace gate: "Your Majesty, I have news of Miss Ruyi." ”
