"Ahem!" The dim sum was a little dry and choked in his throat, making Su Ranhua cough uncontrollably.

"Slow down." Ximen Zhe patted her on the back for her, and when she said this, she could feel her heart hurt.

The girl in her memory, although her life was not as luxurious as she should be when she was the daughter of the prime minister's family, but she had a peaceful life, and she still had a carefree and sweet smile under unfair treatment. And after many years, the woman who has become her own imperial sister-in-law, although her smile is still so beautiful, but she has a more windy feeling. Especially when we met for the first time after many years, it turned out to be in prison, and it turned out to be such a situation, which made people feel pity and all kinds of feelings.

The news of Su Ranhua's murder and imprisonment spread throughout the palace, and when Ximen Zhe heard the news, he rushed here as soon as possible, and did not forget to bring her favorite lotus seed cake. He knew that starvation was the most basic punishment he had to face when he went to prison in the criminal chamber. He also heard that Su Ranhua was beaten in Jinhuayuan, but he didn't expect to be beaten so badly! Moreover, there are still people who dare to pour filth on her body!

Ximen Zhe looked at Su Ran's painting, and his heart ached. She is not her own imperial sister-in-law, but a woman who needs her own help.

"Dye and paint." Ximenzhe's expression was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with a suppressed fire, "If I knew that you were in such a situation today, I would definitely beg my mother to ask my father and emperor to marry me earlier, and not let you fall into the hands of the second emperor's brother." ”

"Lord Wang!" Su Ranhua raised his eyes to look at Ximen Zhe and stopped Ximen Zhe's words with his eyes. In the deep palace where you are always facing a storm, you can't talk nonsense.

"Don't be afraid, I know how to measure." Ximen Zhe smiled, he didn't want Su Ranhua to be afraid, but his turbulent heart couldn't be calm. He is the son of Concubine Yao, without the status of the queen, and without the favor of the concubine, he is the youngest prince, under the teaching of the concubine, he lives in the palace without a quarrel with the world, and is the king of the west. He didn't have the capital to compete with his brothers, however, he didn't want to give up anything he wanted. However, without power, there is nothing, he does not fight for the country, and at the same time, he can only let a holy decree make Su Ran become the princess of the north.

I thought that the second emperor's brother Ximen Hao had insulted Su Ran's painting first, and he already had his child by mistake, so he had a little affection for Su Ran's painting. But now it seems that the murder case from the Beiwang Mansion must be the reason why the second emperor brother wants to abandon Su Ran's painting, and killing a humble maid is just a gesture for Ximen Hao, who is cold by nature.

At this time, Ximen Zhe was faced with the scarred Su Ran painting, only worrying about her future and resenting that he was helpless.

"Lord Xi, it's not too early, let's go!"

The guard guarding the prison hurried in, urging cautiously.

"Let her eat first." Ximen Zhe glanced at the guard and brought the pastry to Su Ran's mouth again.

"Lord Xi, please think about your humble position. You have taken the key to your humble position, and you have broken into prison, and you are already facing punishment for dereliction of duty. Please leave as soon as possible and leave a way for the lowly to survive. ”

As he spoke, the guard fell to his knees, kowtowing incessantly.

"You can go quickly, I can eat it myself." Su Ranhua glanced at the poor guard, it turned out that Ximen Zhe had broken into the cell, and it was not easy for a prince to come to see her.

"You wait, I'll find a way to save you." Ximen Zhe gently placed the lotus seed cake in front of Su Ran's painting, looked directly at Su Ran's painting, and said with a firm gaze. Then he rolled up the dirty clothes that he had taken off from Su Ranhua, got up, and strode out of the cell.

The key was thrown casually and dropped at the guard's feet, and a crisp and cautious sound sounded in the gloomy cell.

After taking Ximenzhe away, the guard quietly wiped his sweat and stood up, walked out of the cell, and locked the door.

Even if Ximen Zhe is a powerless and powerless prince, he has a noble status, which a little guard like him would not dare to offend, not to mention that when he was prevented from breaking into the prison just now, this little prince was not as weak as people said, with a kind of toughness that had to see people, and he took the key from his waist without saying anything.

It seems that the prince is the prince, after all, people have the emperor Lao Tzu as a backer.

The guard shook his head and sighed as he walked outside the prison, guarding his duty while worrying about the punishment he would face if the news leaked.

Su Ranhua didn't expect that as soon as Ximen Zhe left the cell, he left the palace and went to the North Palace.

"King of the West?" Steward Lin was a little surprised to see Ximen Zhe, this little prince has always lived alone in the palace, and was strictly guarded by his mother, how could he suddenly come to the North Palace?

"Steward Lin, I want to see Xiaorou's corpse." When Ximen Zhe heard that Ximen Hao was not in the house, he directly told Steward Lin the purpose of his visit.

"Let the prince see off a maid, this gift is too heavy. The prince should go back to the palace, with this heart, it is a great blessing for Xiaorou. Steward Lin knew what Ximen Zhe had requested, but he deliberately distorted his original intention.

"I'm not here to see him off, I'm here for an autopsy!" Ximen Zhe said clearly, and with a wave of his palm, he was about to walk towards the mansion.

"Autopsy? There is a murder in the king's mansion, and he has to bother the king of the west to perform an autopsy? Ximen Hao's abrupt voice sounded behind Ximen Zhe.

"Second Emperor Brother," Ximen Zhe turned around, and saw that Ximen Hao had just stood outside the gate of the palace, so he walked towards him quickly, and said hurriedly, "I don't believe that Princess Bei will kill people, please find out the truth as soon as possible, take the princess back to the palace, and don't be wronged in prison again." ”

"You came to the Northern Palace's Mansion to intercede for Su Ranhua?" Ximen Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Ximen Zhe, who was sweating because he was in a hurry.

"Second Emperor Brother, Princess North won't kill anyone!" Ximen Zhe said firmly.

"Killing or not killing is not an empty sentence, not to mention, Su Ranhua is the princess of this king, why is the fourth brother so anxious?" Ximen Hao's eyes were instantly sharp, staring at Ximen Zhe, his always clear and waveless eyes were full of nervousness, and there was a shallow beating thing.

"Because she'...... It's my imperial sister-in-law," Ximen Zhe was stunned, hiding the loss that inadvertently appeared in his eyes, and said.

"It turns out that the fourth brother cares so much about the imperial sister-in-law." The corners of Ximenhao's lips hooked up an unnoticed arc.

"Second Imperial Brother," Ximen Zhe looked at Ximen Hao with a little pleading, "No matter what, you take the imperial sister-in-law out of the palace first, I believe that as long as you make a move, you will definitely be able to take the imperial sister-in-law out of the prison." ”

"She committed a murder and should stay in the criminal room waiting for trial, why should this king break the rules for her?" Ximen Hao was indifferent.
