Chapter 93: Don't give up
Limo is Chu Xiuhan's personal guard, and many things about Chu Xiuhan, Limo knows better than them.
But now Limo has suddenly disappeared, if you can find Limo, maybe there is another solution to the matter.
"Okay."
Su Ye answered and left.
Xiao Ruoxi led Lian Xiang and Chunyin into the palace.
She thought that there would be all kinds of obstacles to enter the palace this time, but she never thought that she would easily enter the palace.
"Ruoxi, this is a new tea that has just been paid tribute this year, you can try it."
In Kunning Palace, the palace maid served tea, and Xiao Ruolan greeted Xiao Ruoxi very warmly.
Xiao Ruoxi was a little uneasy, took a sip of tea casually, and hesitated how to tell Xiao Ruolan about it.
"Since leaving Jiangzhou, you and my sister have never been alone like this, and today my sister thinks of me as a sister and is willing to come and see me."
Xiao Ruolan said teasingly, as if she didn't know what had happened during this time.
"Eldest sister, my sister came to the palace today, I really have something to ask for, and I can help the eldest sister."
Xiao Ruoxi suddenly put down the tea cup in his hand, got up and knelt in front of Xiao Ruolan and said.
Her behavior surprised Xiao Ruolan, and Xiao Ruolan hurriedly reached out to help Xiao Ruoxi:
"Ruoxi, what are you doing here? Something to get up and talk about first. ”
Xiao Ruoxi stood up and looked at Xiao Ruolan, a little embarrassed, she didn't dare to guarantee whether Xiao Ruolan would help her, after all, this matter was too risky and should not be dragged in.
"Ruoxi, in front of my sister, if you have anything to say, just say it directly! Don't be too inhibited. ”
As if seeing that Xiao Ruoxi was a little embarrassed, Xiao Ruolan held Xiao Ruoxi's hand and said softly.
Xiao Ruoxi frowned, looked at Xiao Ruolan, and said slightly after a while:
"Eldest sister knows...... What's going on these days? ”
Xiao Ruolan shook her head and said:
"I've been staying in this Kunning Palace these days, and I've just been in charge of this harem, and there are too many things, I don't know what Ruoxi is talking about?"
Looking at Xiao Ruolan's sincere expression, Xiao Ruoxi didn't know if Xiao Ruolan really didn't know or not, now this matter is full of turmoil in the city, plus the incident happened in the harem last night, and now she is the master of this harem, there is no reason not to know.
Xiao Ruoxi looked at Xiao Ruolan with a somewhat complicated expression, and said, "His Royal Highness King Han assassinated the Queen Mother yesterday and was ...... was put on death row by the emperor. ”
Xiao Ruoxi said cautiously, she was really not sure if this sister would help her.
At the beginning, she was imprisoned in a dungeon by Chu Xiuhan, and she rushed to the Han Wangfu to save her without saying a word.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, she also defends her everywhere, and every time they meet, this sister is calm with her.
So she's betting, betting on whether this sister will help her again, even if it's not for her.
Even if it was for the sake of her affection for Chu Xiuhan, she hoped that Xiao Ruolan would come forward.
"Eldest sister, can you ...... Can you help me say a favor in front of the emperor and be lenient with the prince. ”
Xiao Ruoxi saw that Xiao Ruolan didn't speak for a long time, and she couldn't figure out what she was thinking now, so she begged again.
"Assassinating the Queen Mother is a capital offense."
Xiao Ruolan did not promise to help Xiao Ruoxi, nor did she refuse directly, but said this.
"I know it's a capital crime, so I came to beg the eldest sister, hoping that the eldest sister can intercede for the prince in front of the emperor, even if it can save the prince's life, as long as the eldest sister is willing to help with this, the younger sister will be a cow and a horse in the future, and let the eldest sister send it."
Saying that, Xiao Ruoxi knelt down in front of Xiao Ruolan with a "poof" again, only hoping that Xiao Ruolan could be moved and help her with this.
"Ruoxi, if you have something to say, say it well, what are you doing?"
Xiao Ruolan stepped forward again to help Xiao Ruoxi up.
"Eldest sister, I know that I will make you a little embarrassed by this, but you are the queen, what you say, the emperor will definitely listen to it, I just ask the eldest sister to help me with this."
Xiao Ruoxi didn't get up, and continued to kneel on the ground and beg bitterly.
Seeing that Xiao Ruoxi was reluctant to get up, Xiao Ruolan didn't bother to help her again, so she simply straightened up, turned around, and said:
"Ruoxi, it's not that I don't want to help you, you also know that His Royal Highness King Han first had the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and now he has the crime of assassinating the Queen Mother, both of which are capital crimes, I am just the master of this harem, since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics, and I am really powerless."
This remark has been made very clear, but Xiao Ruoxi refuses to give up, and still asks without giving up:
"Eldest sister, I know that the prince's sin is unforgivable, but ...... But I really can't watch the prince die, as long as you are willing to help save the prince's life, in the future, I am willing to serve you as a cow and a horse......"
It was the first time she had been so low-voiced to someone, and in this era of royal supremacy, she had discovered for the first time how small she was.
Seeing something happen to her beloved, she couldn't do anything.
"Ruoxi, my sister advises you, while the emperor has not been held accountable for the entire Han Wangfu, you had better leave the Hanwang Mansion and find a way to make a living for yourself!"
Xiao Ruolan looked at the woman kneeling in front of her, tears falling down, her brows furrowed deeply, and she said with a straight face.
Hearing this, Xiao Ruoxi was stunned, Xiao Ruolan didn't help her, she didn't blame her, because this matter had nothing to do with her, but now in such a situation, she couldn't save Chu Xiuhan, so how could she leave Chu Xiuhan to survive alone.
"Eldest sister, if I can't save the prince, then I'd rather die with him than live alone."
When Xiao Ruolan heard this, a mocking smile flashed at the corner of her mouth, but she quickly hid it, and immediately changed into a bitter look, and persuaded Xiao Ruoxi:
"Ruoxi, why are you suffering? You're still so young, you can let your dad help you clean up, pack your things and go to a place where no one knows you, and start a new life. ”
Xiao Ruoxi shook his head with a wry smile and said:
"Eldest sister, I identified him in this life, so I decided to live and die with him for the rest of my life, and never abandon him......"
When Xiao Ruolan heard this, her hand holding the silk handkerchief tightened, turned her back, and said:
"Ruoxi, if you insist on this, then I can't help you, if there is nothing else, please go back!"
Xiao Ruolan began to issue an eviction order.
"I'm sorry to disturb the eldest sister, retire."
Xiao Ruoxi saluted Xiao Ruolan, then got up and retreated, but when she got up, probably because she knelt for too long, her legs were a little numb, and she almost fell, but fortunately, Lian Xiangyan on the side quickly helped her.
"Miss, be careful."
Lian Xiang helped Xiao Ruoxi, turned around and left Kunning Palace.
