Zhao Heng's face was a little gloomy, and he strode forward. When I met the little eunuch and the little palace maid along the way, I was terrified, for fear of angering the emperor.

Chen Ao followed half a step behind him, and he could just see Zhao Heng's side face. Behind are Yun Lu and Duan Gang. Zhao Heng blasted away all the attendants who followed, and walked towards the depths of the palace without saying a word. No one knew where he wanted to go, Duan Gang looked at it for a while, but he understood a little.

This road leads to a cold palace, and there is no other choice but to go there......

Chen Ao carefully observed Zhao Heng's face, trying to figure out Zhao Heng's intentions now. He now felt like a lewd traitor, constantly trying to figure out the intentions of his superiors. But in order to survive, this is also something that cannot be helped.

Chen Ao thought about it, Zhao Heng should not kill them. But capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. No matter what he said, he was guilty of great rebellion, and Yunlu even wanted to assassinate Zhao Heng. No matter how good-tempered he is, I'm afraid he won't stop there.

Chen Ao only hoped that through his good attitude and performance, Zhao Heng's punishment would be slightly lighter. Therefore, when settling Liang Xiaoya and the others just now, he deliberately told them to obey Commander Huo's arrangement and not cause trouble. Chen Ao knew that the reason why Zhao Heng wanted to leave them in the palace was not because he wanted to harm them. Zhao Heng really wants to kill someone, there is no need to be so troublesome. Zhao Heng just wanted to keep an eye on these people, so as not to cause them another incident.

Of course, Chen Ao was also afraid that Feng Hu and others would make things more tricky if they were impulsive. That's why he did it a little more. Sure enough, Zhao Heng saw that he was well-behaved, and his face looked better. But it can't just be so easy. Chen Ao followed Zhao Heng forward with some apprehension, completely unaware of what was waiting for him.

After walking for a long time, the surroundings became more and more deserted. Located in the corner of the imperial city, it was originally a courtyard for elderly palace ladies and concubines who had fallen out of favor. Over the years, no one has lived there, and even if the palace people clean up, they rarely come here.

Zhao Heng walked straight into a courtyard. Chen Ao couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that there was still light in the house in the courtyard, and thought, who is Zhao Heng bringing her to meet?

Just thinking about it, Zhao Heng stood at the door and said lightly: "It's here, let's go in!"

Chen Ao was hesitating whether to push the door in, when he saw the door creak open, and a little palace maid walked out of the house with a basin of water. The palace maid suddenly saw the person at the door, was startled, hurriedly put the basin on the ground, and bowed to Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng waved his hand and asked, "Miss Zhao hasn't slept yet, has she?"

The maid replied, "The girl has just washed and has not rested." ”

Chen Ao's heart jumped wildly, and he suddenly thought of who the person in the room was, but he was a little incredulous.

The movement at the door had already alarmed Zhao Ling. Zhao Ling knew that there would be no one here, but Zhao Heng would come over occasionally. After these days, she was in a much calmer mood, and she was much more polite when she saw Zhao Heng. Although Zhao Ling didn't know what the emperor was doing with her, she knew that if she wanted to have a chance to escape from here, she had to behave better.

Zhao Ling knew that Zhao Heng had arrived, so he hurriedly came out, turned the screen, and saw Chen Ao at first sight, and his face suddenly changed. But she didn't know the situation, so she didn't dare to recognize each other rashly, tried her best to restrain the excitement in her heart, and saluted Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng didn't speak, but walked straight into the house and found a seat to sit down. Zhao Ling hurriedly poured him a cup of tea, but his eyes glanced at Chen Ao from time to time, eager to figure out what was going on.

Chen Ao also had something to say, but he couldn't figure out Zhao Heng's thoughts, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He could only wink at Zhao Ling, Nunu's mouth, and make a secret signal. But Zhao Ling didn't understand what he meant, so the two had to communicate with each other.

Zhao Heng snorted and said, "Zhao Ling, in order to save you today, Chen Ao actually wanted to lead someone to forcibly break into my forbidden palace. This kind of affection is rare. You've finally met, so there's nothing you want to say?"

When Zhao Ling heard this, his face changed, and he couldn't imagine that Chen Ao would do such a thing. In her opinion, forcibly breaking into the palace can be regarded as the stupidest way.

She turned around and bumped into Chen Ao with a smile on his face. Chen Ao listened to Zhao Heng's tone, and it seemed that he was not forbidden to say hello to Zhao Ling. He was thinking about a "surprise" to meet, but Zhao Ling scolded with a face: "Chen Ao, why are you so stupid......!

Chen Ao laughed twice and said, "In front of so many people, you can give me some face." ”

Who knew that Zhao Ling said a word, his eyes were red, and tears flowed involuntarily. How can I say that Chen Ao also made this decision to save her. Zhao Ling was moved and sad again.

Chen Ao saw that she didn't apply powder, his expression was pitiful, and he couldn't help but step forward and hug Zhao Ling's shoulder. I used to have a belly to talk about, but I couldn't say anything at this time.

Zhao Ling sobbed for a while, suddenly pushed Chen Ao away, and said to Zhao Heng: "Everything Chen Ao did was all for me. If Your Majesty wants to deal with him, please punish him with me!"

It turned out that Zhao Ling thought that Chen Ao's behavior had angered Zhao Heng, and Zhao Heng brought him here, perhaps to let him see him for the last time.

Yun Lu, who had been standing by the side and watching coldly, couldn't help but be a little touched at this time. For the sake of Zhao Ling, Chen Ao is willing to risk the world's disapproval. And Zhao Ling is also willing to live and die with Chen Ao. Such feelings made Yunlu both envious and moved.

Zhao Heng snorted. No one knows what he's thinking. Chen Ao had no choice but to guess and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to Zhao Ling's nonsense. I did what I did today, and if you want to punish me, you can punish me. Zhao Ling is your niece after all, how can you say that it is also a family!"

Zhao Heng patted the table and said a little angrily: "Chen Ao, are you really reluctant to kill you?"

Seeing him like this, Chen Ao's heart finally settled down. He was already sure that as long as there were no other changes, Zhao Heng would not want his life. Chen Ao has been in the rivers and lakes for so long, and he has seen a lot of people of all kinds, and he still has the ability to figure out people's hearts. It's just that since you don't want to kill him, what does it mean to bring him to see Zhao Ling?

Chen Ao was puzzled, but he heard Zhao Ling ask strangely: "What kind of niece?" Chen Ao, what did you say?"

Zhao Heng sighed, waved his hand and said, "Chen Ao, if I tell me about this matter, you can tell her the truth!"

Chen Ao hurriedly replied yes, and then carefully told Zhao Ling the big secret he learned from Cao Yi. In the end, he also said today's action by the way, not only to tell Zhao Ling, but also to tell Zhao Heng that he was just to save people, and he had no evil intentions.

These words involve decades of grievances and grievances, and it is quite difficult to explain them clearly. Chen Ao said with a dry mouth, his eyes staring at the cup of herbal tea in Zhao Heng's hand from time to time, but he didn't dare to ask for it.

Chen Ao talked alone for a long time, and the leakage outside the door had already shown that the second watch had passed. After calming down for a long time, Zhao Heng seemed to be in a better mood, pointed to the teacup, and said, "Drink!"
