My eyes fell on Chunrui again, who had been pressed to the ground by the guards, and Mrs. Ya looked down at her helplessly, "Give you one last chance, who instructed you to spread rumors?" ”

"Chunrui...... There is not much to say. Her voice was weak, but it was firm.

I subconsciously clenched my fists, her heart for Xiao Jincheng is unwavering, even if the other party treats her as a pawn and abandons her, does she always have no regrets?

Silly Chunrui, you lived for me in the past, and now you want to die for Xiao Jincheng, why don't you live for yourself?

"Hit me, hit me hard!" Mrs. Ya gave an order, and the guards on both sides directly raised the long sticks in their hands and hit Chunrui's buttocks, back, thighs, I subconsciously closed my eyes, I didn't want to see the cruel scene in front of me, cold tears slid down my cheeks, I kept saying in my heart, I can't go, I can't rush out, I will hurt Chunrui when I go out, endure, bear with it!

But trembling all over my mind, I kept flashing and Chunrui's scene after scene.

"Miss, you're scared of me, you can't be like this next time!"

No, I won't, I'll never leave you again! Not again this time.

"I don't want to get married, I'll follow Miss for the rest of my life, okay?"

Okay, you'll stay with me for the rest of your life.

"Miss, why did you wake up, you scared me to death!"

Every time I wake up, I wake up with your crying, and this voice is like a guide to guide me back here.

Now, I can't hear your cry, and I can't hear that soft and coquettish cry!

I slowly opened my eyes, and suddenly waved Xiao Qian's hand, maybe she didn't expect me to suddenly shake her off, and saw me rush directly past her into the main pavilion, flying on Chunrui's body, and firmly protecting the thin and weak figure in her arms.

No one expected a man to burst out, and the guards were unprepared, and the movements of their hands still did not stop, and slapped two sticks directly on my back.

Damn, it hurts, it really hurts, it turns out that the previous board hurt so much! I think I must have a broken back right now! But I didn't move, no matter how much it hurt, I wanted to protect Chunrui in my arms.

The guards slowly stopped and looked at us in astonishment, I looked at Chunrui's dead face, blood slowly spit out from her mouth, and instantly stained the ground red, so big.

I stretched out my hand tremblingly, caressing her as she was dying despite the pain in my body, "Chunrui......" I called softly.

She didn't have a trace of surprise or shock, she just raised the corners of her mouth faintly, wanting to laugh, but she pulled a face that was more ugly than crying, she opened her lips and wanted to speak, "I...... You know, it's been ...... long ago Know. ”

I knew she was exhausted, and she was holding on to her senses with the last of her strength, and although I was a little surprised by her reaction, I understood what she meant.

It turned out that she had known that it was me, that I had returned. I bit my lip and gently attached it to her ear, and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "Chunrui, I'm back, I'm back with peace of mind, I've always been by your side, always there." ”

Her eyes radiated with brilliance, and a smile gradually appeared on her dead face, and she propped herself up and muttered to me over and over again, "I'm sorry...... I'm sorry. ”

I never expected that at this time, she would say three words to me, which I should have said to her, but she actually said them.

Is she afraid that I will blame her for liking Xiao Jincheng? But how could I blame her, how could I ......

"What a master and servant." Mrs. Ya snorted disdainfully, and gracefully picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

Xia Guifei's eyes flashed on the side, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, turning her head to look around.

"Drag this woman away and keep fighting." It was a strange-looking woman on the side who spoke, and after receiving Xia Guifei's instructions, she said loudly,

I think it should be a concubine.

As soon as I heard her words, I quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed violently, hoping that they could let Chunrui go, Chunrui was only fourteen years old, and she was only fourteen years old!

"Please, ladies and gentlemen, I am torturing my master, she is dying, please let her go in peace...... Please. ”

"What are you that dare to intercede for her in front of us?" Another strange lady got up from her chair and scolded me angrily, unmoved by my plea.

"Concubine Lian, why get angry with a minion." Mrs. Ya sat on the side, her voice was neither high nor low, but with schadenfreude, "And you Shen Jieyu, you are the same, you can't be angry because of a 'minion', this person should be beaten and beaten, a 'minion', I can't get used to being punished together." ”

Mrs. Ya is a slave on the left and a slave on the right, and her obvious sarcasm is directed at me, and it seems that she has a grudge against me last time.

Shen Jieyu and Concubine Lian just now looked at me in some surprise because of her words, it seems that Mrs. Ya also has a lot of opinions about this minion, not only wanting to put Concubine Chun to death but also wanting the life of this minion.

Shen Jieyu and Concubine Lian ignored Mrs. Ya's words, they came today to listen to Concubine Xia's words, otherwise they wouldn't want to stick to this troubled water.

But Xia Guifei still looked at it with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, not stopping or blocking.

"How dare a little palace maid talk to us like this! Do you really think you're a character?! Shen Jieyu saw the wind and the rudder, and echoed Mrs. Ya's words.

I watched in amazement at the ruthless words and the ruthless indifferent gaze in their mouths, maybe the current truth really responds to the sentence 'the world is cold'.

Chunrui is already like this, and they still refuse to let her go!

"It is the duty of this palace to control the six palaces, so we cannot allow such people who harbor evil intentions to maliciously spread rumors, slander the emperor, slander the concubines in the palace, and cause trouble in the harem. The palace holds the golden seal of the queen and enjoys the power of life and death of these three thousand beauties, since she has done something wrong, she should be punished. Xia Guifei, who had been silent, finally slowly said a word, saying such a high-sounding and righteous word.

I sneered, she expected today's events yesterday, knowing that Chunrui's physical strength was absolutely weak after being poisoned, she couldn't withstand this blow at all, as long as Chunrui died, the rumors deliberately spread by Xiao Yiran outside would be terminated immediately.

Xiao Jincheng, Xia Yu, you guys are really strategic!

My gaze quietly swept over Xia Yu, Concubine Lian, Shen Jieyu, Mrs. Ya, everything that happened today, I will definitely double the reward.

On that day, the sun was charming, the maple leaves were scattered, the guards dragged me out, and Chunrui swallowed her breath after only two boards.

I stumbled outside the main pavilion, tears always lingering in my eyes, but I still stubbornly refused to shed, looking at the backs of the four ladies who left proudly in a daze, and chattered in my mouth.

"I really didn't resist fighting, so I only played thirty boards."

"I deserve to die, I dare to say that I am not pregnant with a dragon species, this kind of person should have died a long time ago!"

"Yes, this way of dying is cheap for her."

……

I pinched my nails into my palms, my lips and teeth bit my lower lip fiercely, the smell of blood quickly came into my mouth, Xia Yu looked back at me when he left, his eyes were full of triumph and deep sarcasm.

When they all left, my tears finally fell, in the empty and deserted pavilion, Chunrui lay alone on the ground, I knelt beside her, looking at her face with the same sweet smile as before, as if asleep, really peaceful, looking at such a face, I also evoked a faint smile.

"If I say that the anonymous letter was not written by the prince, do you believe it?" Xiao Qian walked up to me, looked at me condescendingly, her tone was lower, there was no previous sarcasm, she was very cold but serious, "The prince will never ......"

"That's enough, people are already dead, you don't mean anything about starving" I replied weakly, and now I don't have the mood to think about these complicated court struggles anymore.

Although I kept persuading myself that this was a plot need, that any ancient article would not be smooth sailing, and that it was normal to die a few characters, but when the plot of the story, the dead people in the book were by my side and in front of me, I still couldn't accept it!

I just want to be quiet with Chunrui for a while.

"You think I'm willing to say? You misunderstood the prince for a slave who concealed you and betrayed you......" Xiao Qian suddenly pulled my shirt and pulled me off the ground with some anger and roared, her eyes full of irrepressible emotion.

It turned out that Xiao Qian targeted me so much because she liked Xiao Yiran.

I chuckled and snorted, "You said I misunderstood him, could it be that in this imperial city, besides him Xiao Yiran knew about this, there were other people who knew such secrets?" Or do you want to say that today's situation is set by the emperor or Xia Guifei herself? ”

Xiao Qian slowly let go of her hand, she also knew that no matter what she said, this matter was indeed a bit funny, and the emperor and the concubine didn't have time to hide it, how could they say it themselves, but ......

Xiao Qian didn't explain anymore and turned to leave.

I was let go by Xiao Qian and fell to the ground in a daze, just by Chunrui's side, looking at her stupidly, I don't know how long it took, a few minions walked in with a burlap bag.

Burlap bags?

"Bold!" I scolded them directly and stopped them from moving, "How dare you do this to Concubine Chun." "No matter what, Concubine Chun has been made a concubine, and her identity is naturally not comparable to that of a little lady, but she has entered the palace, how can she do things so hastily.

"Concubine Chun?!" A father-in-law said with a sharp voice, "The concubine decreed that those who spread rumors and slander the royal family should not be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and while polluting the royal family, the two of us were specially ordered to cremate Concubine Chun." ”

I froze in place, unable to recover for a long time.

Cremation, which in ancient times was to break the bones and scatter ashes, was a punishment for the palace maid who died due to sin or the concubine who committed a serious crime, but I didn't expect Xia Yu to be so ruthless, and he didn't even let go of Chunrui's bones.

I watched as the two fathers-in-law put Chunrui into the burlap bag, and watched her walk out of the main pavilion directly, without hindrance, without chasing, just watching, watching their figures gradually shrink and disappear.
