Your majesty, Empress Xianyu doesn't want to leave the cold palace

Eunuch Li returned to the palace and informed the emperor of his encounter with Su Yingxiu.

The emperor means that since he is here to find the Queen, the decision must be made by the Queen.

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of implicating Su Yingxiu because of King Cheng, Eunuch Li left the palace again and prepared to take Su Yingxiu to the palace.

Seeing the embarrassed Su Yingxiu waiting at the palace gate, Eunuch Li handed over a handkerchief.

"Wipe your face, so that you won't have to worry about the queen having to see her later."

Su Yingxiu took it carefully and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Li."

Eunuch Li agreed and went to the palace to pass on the news that Su Yingxiu had asked for an audience.

When Qi Ranran learned that Su Yingxiu asked for a meeting, he asked the general to be brought in without thinking.

Caiyue reminded hesitantly at the side,

"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to see her? I'm afraid that she came here mostly to become a king. If she intercedes for becoming a king, I'm afraid that my Majesty will be in trouble."

Qi Ranran lowered his eyes slightly and sighed softly,

"How could I not know what you're talking about? But she has nothing to do with Yu Wenjing's rebellion. Since she has made up her mind to see me, I naturally want to see her."

Eunuch Li led people into the palace. Qi Ranran knew that Su Yingxiu had something to say in private, so he asked people to leave first.

Seeing the injury on Su Yingxiu's forehead, Qi Ranran's eyes were full of heartache.

"Yingxiu, why did you hurt yourself like this?"

Su Yingxiu's eyes were filled with tears, and she held Qi Ranran's hands tightly, as if grasping the only life-saving straw.

"I know you are in trouble, but all I can ask for is you. Ranran, I want to see him. Can you let me see him again?" Su Yingxiu assured her eagerly, "Ranran, I only saw him once. I won’t cause trouble and won’t cause trouble to you.”

Qi Ranran pursed her lips lightly, raised her hand to apply some medicine on the wound on Su Yingxiu's forehead, and comforted it.

"Don't worry, you want to see him, I'll find a way."

She could understand Su Yingxiu's mood.

Once something like sincerity is given out, it can never be easily taken back.

However, Yu Wenjing has always been arrogant and arrogant. Now that he is a prisoner, he may not be willing to see Yingxiu again.

Qi Ranran called Eunuch Li and asked, "Where is Yu Wenjing being held?"

When asked this question, Eunuch Li subconsciously glared at Su Yingxiu, knowing that this person must have instigated him, but he had to answer the Queen's words.

"The emperor has decreed that King Cheng be imprisoned in the prison."

"That's just right. You can accompany me to the prison."

As soon as he heard that he was going to Tianlao, Eunuch Li's little eyes stood up and he was the first to disagree.

"Your Majesty, you are so rich and precious, how can you go to the Tianlao! It's really inconvenient for you to go to such a dirty place. If the emperor knew that he let you go to the Tianlao, he would blame him.

My dear, why do you have to work so hard for a sinner? "

Qi Ranran: "I have made up my mind, so you don't need to persuade me anymore. If the emperor is to blame, I will naturally bear the responsibility."

Eunuch Li sighed deeply and made a long face.

Well, the Queen has already spoken, what else can he say.

He glanced at Su Yingxiu depressedly.

He regretted it. If he had known it would be such a trouble, he should not have brought the person to the Queen.

Even so, Eunuch Li still sent a message to the emperor.

The Queen insists on going to Tianlao. It is related to becoming the king, so she has to let the emperor know that she is wrong.

After everything was taken care of, we got on the carriage and arrived at the Tianlao in about an hour.

The guard knew Eunuch Li and even more about Qi Ranran's identity, so he didn't dare to stop him when someone came.

Stepping into the Heavenly Prison, one is greeted by a sense of gloom.

This place seems to be a forgotten corner of the world, damp and dark, with no sunlight coming in at all, and only endless darkness.

It's obviously just a wall. Outside the wall, the sun is shining brightly and the scenery is beautiful, but inside the wall, the wind is chilling.

Yu Wenjing leaned against the cold wall, surrounded by gloomy surroundings, and he seemed not to feel any chill.

Now he is just a dying man, waiting for the final decree.

He heard footsteps, but he didn't raise his eyes or look back.

It doesn't matter to him who comes, his end is just death, it's just a matter of time.

At this point, he no longer cares about life or death. He just wants Yuwen Chen to stop involving others after killing him.

Through the small window on the wall, you can see that it is a sunny day today.

He counted the days and thought that she and Jiarou should have arrived at Yunshui Village.

That's fine. As long as everything is fine with her and Jia Rou, he can leave without worries.

Yu Wenjing was immersed in his own thoughts until he heard a familiar call.

The moment Yu Wenjing raised his eyes and saw Su Yingxiu, he stood up suddenly, with a look of disbelief on his dull face.

"Why are you here? Didn't you leave? Who asked you to come back?"

Su Yingxiu couldn't help but shed tears the moment she saw Yu Wenjing.

But seeing the anxiety in his eyes, she couldn't help but smile. She sighed softly, just like before, and said,

"Yes, you sent someone to send me away, but I still came back."

He pushed her away blindly, and even said harsh words to her again and again.

But after learning his true intentions, how could she leave with peace of mind.

Yu Wenjing's gaze stopped for a long time, and his slender eyes narrowed. The shock in his eyes was covered up, replaced by strong vigilance. His eyes were fixed on Qi Ranran, resentful to the end.

"What else do you want to do! If you come at me, it doesn't matter!"

When Eunuch Li saw Yu Wenjing shouting at the top of his lungs, he stood in front of him vigilantly.

"You have to recognize your identity now. You really think that our queen is willing to come to this prison. Someone is begging the queen to come!"

Yu Wenjing's eyes were full of resentment, and he obviously didn't believe Eunuch Li's words.

Su Yingxiu suppressed her emotions, turned her head, looked at Qi Ranran, and prayed,

"Can I have a moment alone with him?"

Before Qi Ranran could say anything, Eunuch Li was already thinking that he was taking advantage of the Queen's good nature to push her further.

Su Yingxiu prayed humbly and sincerely, but Qi Ranran couldn't bear to refute.

The prison was heavily guarded, and Yu Wenjing was a heavy prisoner. Unless ordered by hand, not even a fly could enter.

Qi Ranran asked someone to open the cell door and leave to wait outside, giving them space to get along.

Eunuch Li was afraid that the Queen would make a mistake, so he stared at her with his little eyes and did not dare to look away. Before leaving, he gave Xiao Shunzi a look.

Xiao Shunzi came with him. He was trained by Eunuch Li. He knew what Eunuch Li meant with just one look.

Xiao Shunzi stayed and stared at the situation in Tianlao.

After everyone left, Su Yingxiu returned to the prison again. Her eyes were filled with tears, but her eyes were extremely bright.

She smiled softly, stretched out her hand to caress his face,

"Since you are willing to give up everything, why are you afraid of my coming back?"

Yu Wenjing laughed, and tears flashed in his eyes for a moment as he lowered his eyes.

He could risk everything.

But this does not include her life.

He had no way to retreat, he had no way to go, there would be no tomorrow for him, how could he let her stay with him.

He once thought that if he could succeed, he would definitely take her back.

Otherwise, he would rather she go far away and never look back.

In the past, he had no idea that a person with worries could become so fragile.

Once there is concern, there will inevitably be more hope and reluctance.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Yu Wenjing closed his eyes to push back the emotion in his eyes, stood up and pushed her,

"Go away, this is not the place you should stay. Go away quickly, don't stay here."

Su Yingxiu held his hand tightly and refused to leave.

She had made up her mind that she would be with him no matter what time, and she would never leave him alone.

At this moment, a staggering figure suddenly rushed out.

Originally it was heading straight for Yu Wenjing, but Su Yingxiu first caught the cold light of the blade from the corner of her eye, and subconsciously blocked it with her body.

So, the dagger that was supposed to pierce Yu Wenjing's heart was inserted into Su Yingxiu's chest.

Blood rushed out quickly, and his eyes turned red instantly.

Everything happened too fast. When Su Yingxiu reacted, blood spurted out and fell to the ground in drops.

Yu Wenjing was confused. He used his greatest strength to kick Xiao Shunzi away. He hugged Su Yingxiu tightly with both hands to support her fragile fallen body. He looked panicked, but was afraid of causing her more pain. He could only Whispering Su Yingxiu's name,

"Yingxiu, Yingxiu, how are you? Don't scare me..."

Seeing Su Yingxiu's breathing weakening, Yu Wenjing raised his voice and shouted outside,

"Someone is coming, someone is coming quickly!"

Yu Wenjing covered her wound. He tried to stop the bleeding, but more and more blood came out.

All the strength fell apart at this moment. Yu Wenjing choked up, "Yingxiu... Yingxiu... why are you so stupid? Why did you come back? Who asked you to come back! I didn't ask you to go far away, why did you come back! Didn't you say that the two were unrelated? Why come back again!"

At the end of the sentence, he completely lost his confidence and said, "Yingxiu, nothing will happen to you, nothing will happen to you."

Xiao Shunzi was kicked hard in the heart and fell to the ground, vomiting blood.

During the year in the palace, he was beaten down to a handful of bones, and he blocked the Queen Mother's sword. New and old wounds were piled on top of each other, and he was left with only one breath left.

Xiao Shunzi's whole body was numb with pain. When he heard Yu Wenjing's hysterics, he opened the corners of his lips in Yu Wenjing's direction, still thinking,

"It's... useless..."

The dagger was poisoned and he would die.

He had rehearsed it in his mind countless times for this moment today.

Day and night, over and over again.

The meaning of his life is just for this moment.

Afraid of missing a hit, he made double preparations.

He wanted to avenge his brother, and he vowed to make King Cheng pay the price.

For this reason, he could endure doing the dirtiest and most tiring work in the palace, he could endure the beatings from his slaves, and even if he was barely alive, he would hold on until he could avenge his brother.

Finally, he had waited for this day, the opportunity to kill his enemy with his own hands.

It's a pity that Su Yingxiu blocked the knife for Yu Wenjing.

However, it would not be bad to let Yu Wenjing experience the pain of having the most important person in his life die in front of him.

Only when one feels pain can one feel the pain of others' loss.

Why did Yu Wenjing regard their lives as nothing because he was born in a superior family?

He just wanted to let Yu Wenjing know that no matter how weak and insignificant a person is, there will be a moment when he rises up to fight.

Su Yingxiu looked at the person nearby and smiled at him.

She only looked at him. Although her body was in pain, she did not want to show her pain. She smiled at him and answered his questions in a thin voice.

She said, "I regret it. I, I don't want to leave. I want... to be with you. You will never be alone at any time..."

Once, she could not sleep at night and struggled for a long time.

She knew he had something he decided to do.

She had already asked him to give up for her once, and there was no way she could make him give up again.

She couldn't say it, and she didn't dare to bet on how much weight she held in his heart.

But she knew she cared about him.

Care wholeheartedly.

Even though she knew the future was uncertain and bleak, she was willing to endure it.

However, she didn't know what she could do for him?

Her strength is weak, and thinking about it, this... should be the only thing she can do for him.

Yu Wenjing shook his head desperately, "No, no disgust, Yingxiu, it's my fault, it's all my fault. Don't let anything happen to you. Don't punish me in this way."

Yu Wenjing saw a large amount of blood pouring out of the wound and shouted,

"The Royal Physician! Where is the Royal Physician! Call the Royal Physician quickly!"

Yu Wenjing's eyes were empty and he was mumbling something.

"Yuwenchen, I won't argue with you anymore! Did you hear that? I won't argue with you anymore! From now on, whether you are imprisoned or executed, it's all up to you! Find the imperial doctor quickly, the imperial doctor is coming soon, quickly Save her."

"what happened again?"

Eunuch Li was the first to come when he heard the shouting, with an impatient look on his face, but fell silent when he saw the blood.

Seeing Su Yingxiu lying in a pool of blood, and then looking at Xiao Shunzi lying on the ground with his face covered in blood, he didn't know why he had become like this all of a sudden.

Qi Ranran was helped over by Caiyue, and she saw Su Yingxiu lying in a pool of blood. Her emotions were surging, her vision went dark, and she almost fell down. She held Caiyue's hand tightly,

"Quickly call the imperial doctor, hurry up and save Yingxiu, hurry up..."

After receiving the order, the guards stepped forward and took Su Yingxiu out.

Yu Wenjing originally wanted to take Su Yingxiu to find the imperial doctor, but was forced to stop him and could only watch as Su Yingxiu was taken away.

Qi Ranran held Su Yingxiu's hand, which was getting colder, and talked as much as possible, hoping to restore the other person's strength.

"Yingxiu, if you just hold on a little longer, there will be an imperial doctor soon. You will be fine. You will be fine."

Su Yingxiu felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, the wound seemed to be getting less painful, but her body was getting colder and colder.

After Jiang Yuanzheng got the news, he rushed over as quickly as possible to check his pulse.

After diagnosing the pulse, he expressed regret,

"Queen Qi, the poison has penetrated into her heart and she is really helpless. I can only give her acupuncture to give her a break."

Qi Ranran refused to believe it, "How could this happen! She is still so young and she has children to take care of. How can you say that something is wrong with her!"

Su Yingxiu tried her best to hold her hand back, but she had no strength in her hand and could only hold it. Her voice was weak, she had tried her best, and the broken light in her eyes gradually faded.

"Ranran, can you help me? Ranran, I...I beg you to help me."

"What do you want to do?"

The corners of her lips were bleeding. Su Yingxiu gently held her hand and said,

"I know that he did something wrong and did a lot of things that hurt you. I also know that I shouldn't beg, but... I don't want to see him die. Really, I can't see him die... Just because we come from In the same place, please help me, please...help him, please..."

She knew his arrogance, she could understand his reluctance, and she was even willing to stay with him as a prisoner for the rest of his life.

But she didn't want him to die like this.

As fate would have it, everything about Yu Wenjing was wrong as early as when the person chosen by the late emperor positioned himself as Yu Wenchen.

Any further arguments in the future will just lead to more and more mistakes on a deviated path.

"Yingxiu."

Just in the blink of an eye, big tears fell down, and more blood poured out of Su Yingxiu's mouth, but she still struggled to hold on to a smile.

"Ranran, I'm not as lucky as you. In our world, no one treats me well. When I came to Beiyu, I thought it would be better. However, the late emperor confiscated me and I became the daughter of a guilty minister again. If I hadn't met him, I don’t know what my life will be like.”

In the past, her father hated her and her mother despised her.

She is nothing but a burden that causes trouble.

No relatives, no friends.

She thought that her situation would be better if she came to a new world and started over, but in fact it was not.

All good things always pass her by.

She had longed for it, but the facts made her understand that everything was just an extravagant wish.

The strength gradually disappeared. Thinking of the past, there was a faint light in Su Yingxiu's eyes, like a layer of ripples on the lake with a boat, hazy and gentle,

"Many people have said that it would be better to die happily while living like me, but I... don't want to..."

It's too contradictory.

She lived a hard life, but she didn't want to die. She always wanted to live.

Humble and insignificant.

Her heart was filled with disappointment, but there was always some hope left.

She always thought, thinking in her heart, maybe tomorrow would be better.

She didn't know why she was always given up.

When she couldn't sleep for a long night, she asked more than once whether it was because she had done something wrong that made her lonely, helpless, with no one to accompany her, and nowhere to go.

She thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of a reason, so she thought that since she couldn't be liked by others, she would do the next best and try not to be disliked by others.

She could speak less and be less present.

She convinced herself to slowly let go of the family ties she once envied but never had.

She endured it day by day, thinking that her life would just be spent in silence and darkness, until she met Yu Wenjing.

In the eyes of others, he is cold-blooded and does bad things.

He is paranoid, vicious, aloof, unruly, and arrogant.

But to her, he is the only light in her life.

In the dark and lonely night, the existence of a beam of light is so rare, but her life was lit up by this beam of light.

Once you see the light and feel the warmth of the light, you can't let it go.

Because of him, she had a home, children, relatives, and support. She understood what it meant to be cherished and what it meant to be loved. For the first time, she felt that she was no longer dispensable. Because of him, she had so many emotions that she had longed for but couldn't get.

Despite the suffering, she was grateful to have lived a truly happy life.

As the blood gradually clots, the pain is almost gone.

Su Yingxiu's eyes were weak, her fingers were so cold that she no longer had any strength.

"No...don't tell him about me...don't...tell him..."

She couldn't do anything for him, she just hoped that he would worry less.

The next words could no longer be said. The strength in Su Yingxiu's hand disappeared, and she slowly fell down. Her neck tilted, and she withered like a flower, broke quietly, and closed her eyes forever.

Qi Ranran held her hand tightly and refused to let go, "Yengxiu, Yingxiu!"

However, the cold body temperature can no longer keep warm, and no amount of calling can wake up the person sleeping forever in the bed. (End of chapter)
