Chapter 41: The Truth
According to Lu Lingxi's will, in order not to alarm others, Ah Yao left the palace overnight and took Lu Chen back to Fengzao Palace.
In the gloomy hall, as the palace door was pushed open, the dazzling sunlight seeped in, bringing a glimmer of light to this endless darkness.
Lu Lingxi turned her back to the visitor, leaning on the beauty couch and flipping through the book.
"Lu Chen said hello to the eldest lady!"
Hear the words. The hand holding the scroll trembled, and she turned away silently. I saw a familiar face.
"You suffered......" she couldn't say more, but her tears fell like broken threads.
"Lu Chen is not bitter. It's Lu Chen who is useless, he can't save the master, he lives alone in the world, and he really has no face to see Miss again......"
Lu Lingxi motioned to Ah Yao to help Lu Chen up. "I don't blame you, Gu Linyuan has made up his mind to kill my Lu family, how can we escape." Her eyes drifted into the distance, and a pair of water-filled eyes flashed with resentment.
Hearing this, Lu Chen knelt down in front of Lu Lingxi again, and she looked at the man kneeling on the ground in shock. "Miss, you have always misunderstood the emperor!"
He knelt on the ground, but his eyes looked directly at the person on the couch, "Back then, it was the emperor who ordered Lord Yang Yi to escort us out of the city, and a group of death row prisoners had already been arranged outside the noon gate to accept it for us, so that the Lu family could fly away and stay away from the place of right and wrong in the court, and the emperor was the benefactor who saved our Lu family back then!" ”
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue. It fell on her heart, splitting it in half.
"How come, it's not Gu Linyuan, it turns out it's not him, who is it!" Lu Lingxi was not indifferent, her voice suddenly became excited.
The person who had hated her for three years now suddenly told her that all this was actually just a misunderstanding, and Gu Linyuan was not the one who killed the Lu family. On the contrary, he is a person who is kind to the Lu family.
She looked at her trembling hands, but what she had done. She actually wanted to poison him, in a vain attempt to pay for the Lu family's life......
In my mind, I remembered Chenghuan and him that night. The phrase "I don't blame you. ”
It turned out that he knew everything. But they pretend they don't know anything!
"It was Lu Chen who faked his death, and the killer gave up. In a haze, I heard him say that he was going to restore the life of the queen's mother. The person who killed the Lu family was Su Ruolian, it was Su Ruolian! ”
She sneered. In her heart, she hated herself incomparably, what she should have thought of. She should have thought of it! Whether it was the assassination of Heqin or the Su Hexiang incident just past, Gu Linyuan was for his own safety. Again and again, she sheltered herself, and Su Ruolian should be the culprit of everything!
……
In the gloomy prison, the sound of rats and cockroaches filled my ears. Su Ruolian huddled on top of a roll of straw mats with her knees huddled.
The warm spring and April weather were of no use in this place where there was no sunlight at all, and she was wearing only a single coat all over her body. The straw sandals on his feet were also rotten with several holes.
She shouted for too long, and at first the jailers would warn her not to shout. But over time, even the jailers ignored it. Scream, scream, she couldn't shout herself when she was tired.
She lowered her head like this, looking at the rats and cockroaches crawling on the ground, she had been locked up for so many days, she had long been accustomed to these inmates, and she was not as scared as she was at the beginning. I can even deal with it calmly.
Until I saw a pair of delicate embroidered shoes in front of me, the gorgeous corners of the robe. hints at the extraordinary status of the person who came.
