Hanyan was carried back to Chonghua Hall by Xiao Dezi and Xiao Shanzi.

When she returned, she was still conscious. But as soon as she saw Chang'an, her tears kept falling, and her mouth kept muttering, "Master, master, do you believe in slaves and maids......"

Chang'an listened, and tears gently overflowed his eyelashes. She had known Hanyan for so long, and she had never seen her like this, so helpless, so deplorable.

Before Zhu Zheng, the chief physician of the Tai Hospital, arrived, Chang'an ordered someone to put the cold smoke in the bedroom of the side hall, and Wan Xiang leaned over to change her clothes. There were clearly visible scars on Han Yan's body, which were blood marks as deep as flesh and bones, and the blood and flesh were tightly glued together. Evening fragrance carefully untied Hanyan's clothes, and everywhere she went, Hanyan would cry out in pain. Chang'an stood on the side, holding back his tears.

And the moment she saw the ten fingers of cold smoke, she finally collapsed.

Han Yan's ten fingers have dense needle holes, which are pierced under the fingernails with sewing needles, prick one, extract a confession, and repeat the cycle, carrying out this kind of horrific needle punishment over and over again. As the saying goes, "ten fingers are connected to the heart", and the inch-long steel needle pierced the finger, how unbearable the pain should be.

Chang'an couldn't see this kind of scene, so he couldn't help but turn his back and weep sadly.

Wan Xiang had just helped Hanyan change into clean clothes, but the blood stains were coming up again, she dipped it in water, wiped Hanyan's body, and quietly wept while wiping.

In a coma, Han Yan called in a low voice, "Master......"

Her voice was still soft, and even the evening fragrance beside her couldn't be heard clearly, and it took a long time for Chang'an to hear that she was calling herself.

Chang An leaned over the couch, put his ear to her lips, and said softly, "I'm here." ”

"Master......" Han Yan called her in a low voice again, and tears seemed to flash in her eyes, "Slave maid...... Slaves...... It's the ...... who was framed by Lanxiang."

Chang'an's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said, "This palace knows, this palace knows everything." ”

She just wanted to shake Hanyan's hand, but suddenly saw a black purple between her ten fingers, and tears fell suddenly, "It's the fault of this palace, it's all the negligence of this palace, and it fell into Zhong Yuxiu's trap." She lowered her head and gently stroked the pale cheeks of Han Yan, and said in a warm and deep voice, "You can sleep at ease, this palace will definitely help you avenge this ......"

"Master......" Hanyan wanted to say something more, opened his mouth, but he had no strength.

At this moment, Imperial Physician Zhu had already arrived at the Chonghua Palace. He was just about to ask Chang'an for peace, but Chang'an immediately said, "Come and see how Hanyan is doing." ”

Zhu Zheng didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and hurried to the front of the bed to check Hanyan's wound.

Chang An and Wanxiang quietly retreated, and when they walked to the door, Chang An looked back at the cold smoke lying on the couch, she was so weak, she lay there straight, without a trace of blood.

At this moment, Chang'an was extremely afraid. She is afraid that something bad will happen to her in the cold smoke, and she is also afraid that this kind of encounter will come to her one day.

It was also at this moment that she was about to hate Zhong Yuxiu.

Just by virtue of Chu Luo's grace, she had already killed the palace maid beside her.

And she, Shen Chang'an, can't sit still any longer. Someday, that sharp edge will pierce itself.

The only way to do that is to fix your pet.

When this idea first appeared in Chang'an's mind, even she was startled.

She used to think that she and Chu Luo could still live as happily as they did when they were in the palace. But now it is found that she is completely wrong, the palace is a cage, and if she comes in with Chu Luo, she is destined to be firmly locked in it for the rest of her life.

She wants to protect herself, and even more importantly, everyone around her.

Jiang Wanran's words to her were suddenly remembered by Shen Changan.

She finally made up her mind to see Chu Luo again.

In the Mingde Palace, ambergris is curling and silent.

Zhong Yuxiu sat on the top of the main hall, covering half of his swollen cheek with his right hand, and said indignantly, "Lan Xiang, go and see, why hasn't the emperor come yet?" ”

Lan Xiangnuo, hearing this, didn't dare not go, went to the door and looked at it for a while, Fang returned to the hall, shook his head and said to Zhong Yuxiu, "Little master, Gonggong Hai said that the emperor is coming back soon." ”

Zhong Yuxiu suddenly lowered her face, raised her hand and slapped the table, and shouted, "It's almost over, but I haven't seen anyone yet!" As she spoke, she stroked her cheeks and almost burst into tears, "Now that the appearance of this palace is ruined, what can I do......"

Lan Xiang saw that Yuxiu was about to cry, so she hurriedly pulled her sleeve and persuaded, "Don't cry, the little lord is crying, it's your own body that cries, this is all the fault of the virtuous concubine, don't be angry with yourself." ”

Zhong Yuxiu stared at Lan Xiang's fair and flawless face, and became angry in her heart, and said with hatred, "This palace is not for you!" If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Xian slapped you that day, this palace would have framed that palace maid! ”

Lan Xiang knew in her heart that Yuxiu was embarrassed by Hanyan, and she definitely didn't want to avenge herself, but since she said so, Lan Xiang had no reason to refute it, she rolled her eyes and said in a low voice, "But Hanyan's girl is really hateful, she actually wants to put insects in the side hall to scare the tiger master, such a person should also let her be punished!" ”

Yuxiu sneered when she heard this, "She just has the heart and the guts, if she hadn't added such a crime, wouldn't she have let her go in vain......"

Before the words fell, it was as if a bright yellow figure had arrived.

Lan Xiang was startled, and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." ”

The emperor lowered his face and looked at Zhong Yuxiu, "Why are you here?" ”

Yuxiu was slightly stunned, then smiled, and got up and wanted to lean towards the emperor's side, "The concubine came to see the emperor, isn't this okay?" ”

The emperor's gaze turned to the right side of Yuxiu's face, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's wrong with your face?" ”

When Yuxiu heard the emperor's question, she actually cried, it was difficult to control herself, and she was very emotional.

The emperor watched her crying, and couldn't help frowning, as if he was displeased, "If you have anything to say, why are you still crying?" ”

Yu Xiuwei stopped crying, but when she spoke, she couldn't cry, "It's Concubine Xian...... Concubine Niangniang...... She ......"

When the emperor heard the word "virtuous concubine", his heart trembled, and he seemed to ask urgently, "What's wrong with Chang'an?" ”

Yuxiu heard the emperor call Shen Chang'an's maiden name, and immediately felt displeased, but she didn't show it on her face, she still sobbed in a low voice, "It's Concubine Xian Niangniang...... Beat the concubine ......"

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly changed color, "Good and dignified, why did Concubine Xian do this?" ”

"Maybe she is a concubine who has won the emperor's favor...... That's why I ......" As soon as Yuxiu spoke, tears fell straight down, she bowed down beside the emperor, grabbed his sleeve, and said in a lost voice, "Concubine Xian, she doesn't treat the concubine as the master, humiliates the concubine in person, the emperor wants to be the master of the concubine......"

"Concubine Xian, she won't be that kind of person." The emperor was calm and quiet, and his demeanor was gloomy, "You have been favored for many months, if she is dissatisfied with you, how can she go to the Yilan Palace to embarrass you in public?" ”

Yuxiu was so asked that she couldn't answer, she hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yes...... It was the palace maid named Hanyan next to Concubine Xian who was unruly and went to the concubine's palace alone to steal, and was caught by the concubine's palace maid. After that, she glanced at Lan Xiang, and Lan Xiang immediately kowtowed and replied, "Your Majesty, it's true, what the slave and maid saw with their own eyes was that Han Yan went to the little master's house and stole the peach blossom hairpin that the emperor gave to the little master." ”

The emperor's sword frowned, as if he didn't quite believe the words of the two, and sneered lightly, "Hanyan is a palace maid from the palace of Lin'an Wangfu, how could she do such a thing." There must be something strange about this matter, so let's make a decision after we find out. ”

Yuxiu raised her eyes and sneered, "It's true that you came out of the palace, but what kind of master you followed, I don't know what it has become......"

As soon as the words fell, the emperor suddenly slapped the table and stood up, and said angrily, "What do you mean, but you are confronting Concubine Xian!" In the past, when Concubine Xian did not arrive at the palace, Hanyan was waiting for me, according to what you said, this is also mine, isn't it? ”

Yuxiu was so frightened that she was in a cold sweat when she heard this, and she didn't even have time to wipe away her tears, so she hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please forgive the emperor, the concubine never has this meaning......"

The emperor's eyes were cold, he glanced at her lightly, and said, "The matter of Hanyan still needs to be considered in the long run, and you don't have to pursue it any longer until it is investigated." ”

"Your Majesty!" Yuxiu raised her head and said angrily, "The slave who stole something can't just let her go for nothing, no matter what, she should be punished to set an example......"

"I said, don't pursue it any further......" The emperor said, suddenly seeing Zhong Yuxiu's expression dodgy, something was not quite right, and he had already guessed a few points in his heart, and said abruptly, "Are you already ......?"

"The concubine just wanted to give her some color to see, so she sent her to Shang Fangsi......"

"You're just fooling around!" The emperor's face changed suddenly, and he scolded, "Where are the people now?" ”

Yuxiu was frightened, and said, "I have been taken back to the palace by Concubine Xian......"

Chu Luo glanced at her coldly, didn't want to say more, turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Zhong Yuxiu knelt on the ground, stretched out his hand and grabbed the hem of the emperor's dragon robe, and asked with tears, "Is the emperor going to the palace of Concubine Xian......

Chu Luo broke away from her hand, and there was no trace of affection in his eyes, "Where I go, it has nothing to do with you." ”

Zhong Yuxiu fell to the ground and cried even more fiercely, Lan Xiang crawled to her side and wanted to reach out to help her, but she threw her away.

"Your Majesty—" she cried out, desperate for the last of her struggles.

Chu Luo stopped, but he didn't look back, and after a long time, his voice came into Zhong Yuxiu's ears.

"Yuxiu, I thought that you would always be the girl who added to the painting, but in the end, I was wrong."

Zhong Yuxiu listened coldly, and unconsciously felt a little sad that her lips were dead and her teeth were cold, and she was full of tears, but she still crawled to Chu Luo without giving up, wanting to block his way.

And this time, Chu Luo never stopped because of this.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Zhong Yuxiu's body through the window screen, hitting her figure lying on the ground, which looked particularly desolate. She looked up in the direction he was leaving, tears streaming down her injured cheeks.

She smiled coldly and said sadly, "Chu Luo, in fact, in your eyes, I am just a substitute for Shen Changan......"
