Qingqing also came to Qingxuan Hall after hearing the news in Changle Palace, and when she saw me, she hurriedly asked, "Sister, is your knee healed?"

Liuli followed behind Qingqing, and after saluting me, she stood aside with Qiu'an.

"You know everything?"

Qingqing nodded, "Forget about Emperor Pingyu, after all, she is the younger sister of Uncle Emperor Ren, I didn't expect that Su Hanyan to come here, sister, you should let someone pass on the word to me, I will definitely repair that Su Hanyan, even if Emperor Pingyu is on the side, I am not afraid, anyway, Uncle Emperor Ren loves me so much." ”

I slapped her on the forehead, and she ducked back, shaking her head and clinking, "It's a good thing I didn't look for you, otherwise you would have been punished with me." ”

As he spoke, Helan Mingshan led Zhiman inside, and as soon as Zhiman saw me, she ran over and looked at me as uneasy as Qingqing.

Helan Mingshan saluted and retreated after bringing Zhiman, and secretly glanced at Qingqing a few times.

Qingqing didn't notice it at all, and after seeing me ignoring it, she and Zhiman began to fight.

I mentioned it to Zhiman and asked her to bring the spirit mouse into the palace again.

"What's the use of my sister?" Zhiman still grimaced at Qingqing, and asked casually.

"It's nothing at the moment, but it will be useful in a few days. ”

"Good. Zhiman happily agreed.

"If there is any inconvenience, I will go and personally deal with your master. ”

"No," Zhiman moved her eyes from Qingqing's face to me, and said to me, "Last time my master left a message, if my sister uses the spirit mouse, it would be good to bring it to you, and you don't need to tell him." ”

"Thank you, Master, for me. ”

At this time, the green phoenix flew out of it and landed on my shoulder, flapping its wings at Zhiman with great unpleasure, and let out a sharp cry.

Its action made the people present laugh.

There was no movement for two days, Bai Rong was still locked in the Tianhe Palace, not released, I had asked people to go to Princess Sanssouci to visit, Princess Sanssouci said that everything was fine with Bai Rong, and sent me a sentence from Bai Rong: "Everything is fine with me, you take care of yourself." ”

It seems that the cold wind in this palace is pervasive, and even if Bai Rong is grounded, he still knows everything that is happening outside.

Zhuang Shao once came to Fengyi Palace, I asked him about Liu Mingzhi, he shook his head, saying that he didn't know anything, "His Majesty the Emperor didn't mention this matter in front of the people, and I don't know." ”

Zhuang Shao told us what he had investigated before, and the cause of Pinghui's death was indeed committed by Liu Mingzhi and Su Cailian, which was no different from what Liu Mingzhi admitted in front of me at the beginning.

By the time the news about Liu Mingzhi came out, I thought it was too late to rescue.

Liu Mingzhi was convicted of a capital crime, and three days later he was executed, and he wanted to see me in the secret cell, but the jailer who guarded him couldn't bear it, and he showed Panshan, and Panshan sent the news to me.

I went to the Secret Prison, and the prisoners here were far worse than the ones in the Locked Soul Dungeon.

"I'm sorry. "The first thing I said when I met him was to apologize.

I originally wanted to save him, but before I came, I asked to see His Majesty the Human Emperor, but the Human Emperor refused to summon me, and asked Wu Beihan to send me a message, asking me not to meddle in this matter again, only saying that he would explain to Yege after he solved everything.

"The princess has no need to blame herself. "Liu Mingzhi

But he didn't blame me in the slightest, and there was still some hope in my eyes: "I don't blame the princess, I deserve to die, although I hid in the room that day, I heard it clearly, princess, you don't hesitate to blame Emperor Pingyu for a bad person who has harmed you, the villain is grateful for the princess's kindness, this life can survive the best, and the villain will not blame anyone if he can't survive." ”

To be honest, because of Pinghui's death, I also have a deep hatred for Liu Mingzhi and Su Cailian, but now that we are honest and the enemy is the same, I will inevitably blame myself a little, and I have promised him.

Liu Mingzhi begged me: "If you can, I hope the princess will help me save Cailian." ”

I nodded, but this time it wasn't as simple as saving Condensation before, I only said to Liu Mingzhi: "I'll try my best." ”

Liu Mingzhi bowed to me, but after getting up, he stopped mentioning the matter of saving people, and suddenly asked me: "Does the princess know, why is her name Cailian?"

"I know, her name is also a little helpless," I looked at him, I didn't know why I asked more, and only told what I knew: "Su Hanyan's mother, the eldest lady of Yudao Mountain, that is, Cailian's mother-in-law, because she doesn't like Cailian's biological mother-in-law, and she is a woman who picks lotuses on the boating lake, so she gave such a name, in order to remind Cailian's mother-in-law not to forget her origin." ”

A coldness flashed in Liu Mingzhi's eyes, but it was fleeting, and he fell into his own memory: " When I was a child, everyone didn't like to pick lotus, only I loved to play with her, Cai Lian was not sensible at that time, I liked this name very much, I knew the origin when I grew up, but I was afraid that my aunt would be sad, and I didn't care at all, the head of the family was in a good mood once, and wanted to change her name to a little more atmospheric, but Cai Lian refused, she and I said in private, if she didn't want to pick the name lotus, it was disgusting to her mother, and she didn't want to make her mother sad. ”

This is the life of a woman, and I suddenly remembered the deceased Jiang Qianchen.

"What happened in the past, a thousand mistakes, after all, we did something wrong, but I still ask the princess to save Cailian for me, she is also a miserable person. ”

I looked at him with a sincere face, and I couldn't help but be a little moved, "I'll find a way to save both of you." ”

Liu Mingzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Our Liu family has been a retainer of Yudao Mountain for generations, and we have seen a lot of collusion between the gate valve families, once involved in the battle, no one can retreat from the whole body, and now the power of Yudao Mountain cannot be underestimated, and His Majesty the Emperor of the People cannot get rid of his henchmen because of my words and the princess's intercession, so the villain is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of dying unjustly. ”

I was so sad that I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Liu Mingzhi thanked me and told me: "I have some evidence of the crimes of the Yudao Mountain clan and Su Hanyan Lingnu, after I die, it will be regarded as a reward for the princess, right?"

I looked up and looked at Liu Mingzhi in disbelief.

"The princess doesn't need to be surprised, what kind of person is the master she loyally follows, the villain knows it, and she has long expected that there will be such a day, if the princess is really forced to a desperate place by the people of Yudao Mountain in the future, she can take out the object, and she should be able to save the day. ”

"Thank you. ”

"That evidence is hidden in the Yong'an Palace, and there is a storehouse in the west courtyard where the princess lived, and the princess can see it as long as she looks for it there. ”

Before leaving the dark prison, Liu Mingzhi said to me: "Don't take it until the last resort, the princess." ”

He said it so vaguely that I didn't understand it, but he would only say one more thing: "Princess, you must not save me." ”

Then he refused to speak, and moved back to the shadows where the candlelight could not shine.
