After Nangong Lizhu said that, the entire Rong Jingzhai fell silent, and even the sound of the wind blowing off the leaves outside could be heard, and everyone looked at Pei Yuanhao with bated breath, as if waiting for him to make a final ruling.

And I'm really waiting for the verdict.

He sat there, holding the name tag in one hand, slamming slowly on the table, making a monotonous sound of snatching, which made the room even more silent, and even the sound of a person's heartbeat could be heard, and he lowered his eyelids, and could not see what kind of expression was in those dark eyes.

I don't know how long it took, he finally raised his head slowly, looked at Nangong Lizhu, and smiled slightly: "Zhu'er's words are reasonable." ”

When Nangong Lizhu heard this, she immediately seemed to be relieved, and Shen Rou, who was standing aside, had a sinking face.

Pei Yuanhao said again: "However, the words of the noble concubine are not unreasonable. ”

“……”

As soon as everyone heard this, the nerves that had been relaxed tightened again, although my heart was also beating hard, there was still no unnecessary change on my face, I just stood there quietly, Chang Qing stepped forward: "Then the emperor, how are you going to decide?" ”

Pei Yuanhao glanced down at the name card again, the corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly hooked, and then said: "This case is a matter of human life, and I can't just forget it, naturally I want to let the Detailed Punishment Temple investigate it thoroughly, Yuquan, you pass the order, within three days, I want to know the truth!" ”

When the father-in-law Yu on the side heard this, he immediately leaned over and said, "Obey!" After speaking, he hurriedly went down to pass the edict to the Detailed Punishment Temple.

"As for Yue-Qing-Baby."

When he said this name, his voice dragged on a little, as if a blade was cut on the sand, which made my heart tremble a little, and he slowly raised his eyes to look at me: "Although there is suspicion, but since the queen and Concubine Li jointly played, I will not embarrass you, but in the past three days, you can't go anywhere!" ”

This is the most compromise method, it didn't refute the face of the queen and Concubine Li, and it didn't embarrass Shen Rou, it's just-

Three days.

A headless public case more than ten years ago, so that the detailed punishment temple will find out the results in three days?

In three days, what can be found out is this case or something else?

I stood there, my heart was clear, and I bowed down gently: "Yes, thank the emperor for his grace." ”

When he raised his head, he was facing Pei Yuanhao's almost bottomless eyes, and Shen Rou on the side, almost cold.

When I left Rong Jingzhai, my back was still a little numb, maybe it was seen by so many strange, vigilant eyes, when I walked into the yard, a gust of wind blew, only to feel a chill to the bone, the clothes on my back were soaked in cold sweat, I couldn't help but shiver.

Chang Qing glanced back at me: "Are you okay?" ”

I hurriedly shook my head, and she smiled faintly and continued walking.

The people around me seemed to have a tacit understanding, retreating a few steps away from us, even Nian Shen was carried by them, Chang Qing and I walked under the red wall like this, the two of them were silent, only the echo of footsteps could be heard, but the sound set off the unbearable silence around, I was about to say something, but I heard her say without looking back: "Just now, why did Concubine Li suddenly speak for you?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Weichen went to look for her once a few days ago. ”

"Oh?" Chang Qing glanced back at me, nodded and smiled appreciatively, and sighed lightly as she walked forward: "She is also a poor person." ”

“……”

Chang Qing may not know what Nangong Lizhu has done to her behind her back, but when she said this, she didn't have any sarcasm, nor did she have the indifference of the past, and even, she really had some regret.

Counting up, she and Nangong Lizhu, as well as Shen Rou, are both daughters of famous families, I think they should have known each other since childhood, Pei Yuanhao and the first beauty in the world, what kind of time did they have, maybe Chang Qing will know, so that after being so dangerous by her calculations, she still said the word "poor man".

But, so what? A poor man is a poor man......

Thinking of the way she looked at Shen Rou just now, I only felt a sour feeling in my heart.

I thought about it for a while, and finally spoke: "Queen Mother......"

"Huh?"

"You, don't ask me?"

"Ask you?"

Chang Qing stopped, looked back at me, her eyes seemed a little erratic, but not confused, after looking me up and down, she smiled slightly: "Nothing to ask?" ”

“……”

She said slowly: "This palace believes in you. ”

My heart skipped a beat.

At the beginning, she gave food to me who was locked up in the cold palace, and later strongly recommended me to protect Nianshen, and vouched for me in front of Pei Yuanhao, I once asked her, what she said at the time was that she did not believe me, and later I also knew that it was because of Huang Tianba's relationship, so she has been helping and protecting me.

And now, what she's saying is -- she believes me!

Hearing these words, I suddenly felt a warm current gushing out of my heart, and in an instant, all the limbs and objects were flowing through this warm current, even the fingertips were warm, I stood in place and looked at her, my eyes were slightly red, and it took a long time to speak, and I choked up: "Thank you......"

She smiled again, and was about to walk forward, when she saw Father-in-law Yu standing at the fork in the road, and came forward to salute respectfully: "Queen Mother." ”

As soon as Chang Qing saw him, he immediately frowned: "Is there anything else going on with Grandpa Yu?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the emperor's will, in these three days, Lord Yue will not be able to return to Jingren Palace."

“……”

When I heard this, my face immediately froze.

However, I quickly understood that although Pei Yuanhao gave enough face to the queen and Concubine Li, in the end, the case on my body was a murder case, and no matter how generous he was, it was impossible for me to return to Jingren Palace and get close to the eldest prince again.

Chang Qing looked back at me, frowned, and said, "Where are you going to take her?" ”

"This ...... The emperor instructed that the mother should not ask. ”

“……”

Chang Qing also understood, she looked at me, and I had already lowered my head.

She was silent for a while, and then said: "Father-in-law Yu, what Concubine Li said just now is also what this palace wants to say, Lord Yue has taken care of the eldest prince these days, but he has done his best, although he is suspicious now, but this palace still believes in her innocence, don't wronged her, hurt people's hearts, and cool the heart of this palace." ”

When Father-in-law Yu heard this, he hurriedly leaned over and said, "The slave knows." ”

After speaking, Chang Qing glanced at me again, and finally sighed softly and turned to leave.

I stood at that fork in the road, only to feel that the wind through the hall was blowing the blood all over my body, and Gonggong Yu had already waved his hand to the other end: "Lord Yue, please." ”

“……”

I wanted to ask them where they were taking me, but it was too much to ask anything at this point, so I had to follow them to the other end.

The more you walk, the more familiar the road becomes.

When they came to a stop at a gate, I looked up at the plaque on the door, and my heart sank.

Yerba Cao Tang.

Once, Xu Youling's residence was also my former residence.

Unexpectedly, this place was used to put me under house arrest.

I was silent for a while, watching them push open the door, or obediently walked in, the place was clean, and the Duke Yu led me all the way to the door of the house where I was at the beginning, and then said: "Lord Yue, in the past three days, I have wronged you first." ”

I smiled faintly: "Yugong's words are serious." ”

He looked at me, and I knew that he must have a lot of questions to ask, about that famous brand, that human life, in many people's hearts is like a bolt from the blue, everyone wants to know the truth, but an old man like him naturally knows what to ask and what not to ask.

After all, he didn't ask, just waved his hand, and a little palace maid and a little eunuch walked behind him.

I was a little surprised, and he said, "For the past three days, they will serve Lord Yue." After speaking, he turned back to the two of them and said: "You have to be careful, Lord Yue has a little grievance, don't say that the queen mother and Concubine Li, even our family, can't spare you!" ”

"Yes, Grandpa Yu."

"The slave knows."

I stood there and didn't speak, and Gonggong Yu had already waved at me: "Lord Yue, if there is anything, just pass it on, and the slave and maid have retired." ”

"I'm tired."

I bowed my head slightly, and he stepped back.

The little palace maid and the little eunuch, the two of them were a little overwhelmed, but they were twelve points polite to me, and I couldn't help but feel a little funny in my heart - it is really rare for someone like me to have a case on his body, and he was targeted by a concubine and under house arrest, and there is such treatment.

However, - Yan is light, Yan is light......

Recalling his deep eyes when he saw the name tag and pronounced the name word by word, I seemed to be able to understand something, thinking about it like this, people seemed to be relieved, but they felt more tired, even the little palace maid saw it, and came forward to help me carefully: "Lord Yue, are you uncomfortable?" ”

I glanced down at her, but she was a young and clean child, maybe she had just entered the palace, and she didn't know anything.

I forced a smile: "It's nothing, I want to rest." ”

"Oh? The slave and maid helped the lady to rest. ”

"Hmm."

I nodded, and she helped me to the edge of the bed and sat down, she had to help me make the bed, I only waved softly: "You all go down, I want to be alone for a while." ”

The two of them looked at each other, and then obediently withdrew, and the door was closed.

I'm the only one left in the room.

I lay at the head of my bed, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment in this room, and the cold smell in the air, which reminded me of the time I spent here. I don't know why, I went around and around for half my life, thinking that I could avoid it, but I couldn't avoid it; I thought it could be avoided, but I couldn't avoid it, and now my hands are covered with blood and my shoulders are full of sins, but it turns out that I just make my life more difficult......

With a smile on the corner of my mouth, I slowly closed my eyes, and let the tiredness hit me like a tide, and a wave swept me in.

It's like being caught in a net, no matter how hard I struggle, I can't escape, I can't even call for help, I just feel that every breath is stifled, my body is the same as my heart, I am so tired that I can't move anymore, I can only whimper when I breathe the hardest, and that whimpering is also powerless.

However, darkness still hung around me, and no matter how much I struggled, I couldn't escape.

Like, as if back then......

"Hmm...... No...... Let go of ......"

I frowned, subconsciously struggling, but I felt that my limbs could not move, and there was an inexplicable pressure that imprisoned me, and I became more and more uncomfortable, and it became more and more difficult to breathe.

In the midst of such a suffocating feeling, my eyes widened all at once.

At a glance, I saw the familiar man, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at me, and one of his hands was holding my neck.

At this moment, it was as if my heart was about to stop.

God, it's already dark.

The room was also pitch black, only the moonlight outside the window shone in through the window paper, outlining his tall figure in front of my eyes, and the hand was on my neck, although I didn't use force, but I could feel the hot temperature of my palm with every breath, making my skin tremble slightly.

Be...... Pei Yuanhao.

I wasn't too surprised when he came, but it was a bit surprising that he appeared, and I gasped and subconsciously shrank back, trying to get rid of his palm.

But the next moment, as soon as his fingertips were forced, I immediately felt a suffocation, and I didn't even dare to move.

The two of them, in the silent night, he sat on the edge of the bed and choked my neck, and I just lay on the bed and looked at him, like a silent confrontation, and my breathing finally calmed down.

Then I heard his hoarse voice sound in the night.

"Yan - Light ......"
