Agent Abandoned Concubine: Tyrant, beg for favor

Chapter 223 The Queen's Killing Intent

Although Yun Xi and Su Ruoqi did not leave the mansion, the rumors outside were rampant, and the city was full of wind and rain.A few ministers have failed one after another, and now people in the court are panicked.

There were different opinions, Yunxi and Su Ruoyun didn't dare to delay, and they paid more attention to digging the tunnel.Only by digging through the tunnel can they have a chance of survival.

Yunxi made a soup for Su Ruoqi in the morning, and drank it while drinking it.Yun Xi winked at Su Ruoqi, implying that the spies around were watching them, so they couldn't act rashly during the day today.

Su Ruoqi and Yunxi had no choice but to pretend to be a sweet couple without worries.Su Ruoqi deliberately said loudly to Yunxi: "My lady, how about we go swimming in the lake today!"

"Master, whatever you say is what you say. Since you want to swim in the lake, let's go to the suburbs today." Yun Xi also deliberately said it to the spies outside.

In fact, going out can not only swim in the lake, Su Ruoqi also understands what Yunxi means, but also can look at the situation outside and survey the topography of the city.

The formerly bustling neighborhood outside is now deserted, with only a few stall owners still setting up their stalls.Yunxi asked an old cake seller, "Where have all the stall owners gone, why is the street so deserted?"

"It's a troubled time now, and the policy above has changed again. If it wasn't for the sake of the young and old, who would dare to come out, if they come out now, if they meet an official and say something unpleasant, they will be killed. "The old man pulled Yunxi and whispered, while he was talking, he was closely observing the situation in the neighborhood.

As Yun Xi and Su Ruoqi walked away, there were fewer and fewer people, and now every family has their doors tightly closed, fearing that disaster will come to them.The queen's influence is not limited to the court, but also affects these innocent people.

Because of the increased taxes, those people were far away from their hometowns and displaced.Nowadays, the number of refugees is increasing. Instead of opening warehouses to provide food, the imperial court blindly suppresses and expels the refugees.

When Su Ruoqi saw these refugees, he frowned tightly, and there was a burst of sadness in his eyes.

Yun Xi is also full of thoughts, she knows that Su Ruoqi is still sad for the current queen, but if this trend continues, the queen will definitely feel that keeping Su Ruoqi is always a disaster.

If she regrets keeping Su Ruoqi, Su Ruoqi will definitely be in danger.Looking at Su Ruoqi's frown, Yun Xi didn't say these words.

The queen's palace is rich and majestic. She wore a bright yellow dragon robe and leaned on the carved couch. When the spies came to report, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. She raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems This Yunxi is not easy."

The female officer serving around poured her a cup, and the tea queen picked up the teacup with her onion-like hand, and took a sip. "You put down your words and keep an eye on Su Ruoqi. If he makes any moves, report to me immediately."

In the middle of the night on the soft couch in the main hall of the imperial palace, the empress closed her eyes tightly, a layer of cold sweat oozed from her forehead, and clutched the bright yellow bed sheet tightly in her hands.

"Ahhh" she was suddenly awakened.

The maid next to her heard the sound and hurried over. "Empress." The maid asked cautiously.

Her voice was indifferent, and she said with a bit of killing intent: "Get down for me."

She was the only one left in the huge palace. In the silent room, there was only the sound of the wind blowing from outside. The candlelight shone on her face flickeringly, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.

Her eyes were complicated, and when she thought of the dream she had, the coldness in her body became even worse.

"I actually dreamed of Su Ruoqi, who wanted to kill me. It's really interesting. I'd like to see who wins in the end." She said coldly.

After Su Ruoqi and Yun Xi went back at night, they sat under the window and stopped talking.Yun Xi felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she smiled and told Su Ruoqi about the interesting things in the past.

"Ruo Qi, do you still remember the time when I first met you, when I saw your cold face, I didn't want to talk to you?"

Su Ruoqi knew that Yun Xi was deliberately changing the subject, so he pretended to be interested and said, "Is that so? I think you look like a young lady, so I don't want to talk to you."

"Well, you Su Ruoqi, you actually made fun of me. See how I deal with you." Yun Xi said to Su Ruoqi through his clothes while scratching him.

"Okay, I was wrong, lady. I don't dare again." Su Ruoqi laughed so hard that he had no strength left, so he begged Yunxi for mercy.

Seeing Su Ruoqi's brows stretched, Yun Xi was relieved.

She leaned her head on Su Ruoqi's chest and said, "Everything will be fine."

Su Ruoqi looked out of the window, his eyes became more determined. "Everything will be better."

It started to rain at night, and the rain came very quickly.Yun Xi remembered that the crabapple flowers outside hadn't moved in yet, so she quickly lifted the quilt and got up to move the flowers.

Su Ruoqi felt the movement of the people around him, and immediately woke up. "Ruo Qi, I think of the flowers in the yard. If they are destroyed by the rain, the flowers will not live long. I will move in."

"I'll go with you." Su Ruoqi followed Yun Xi out of bed.

As soon as Su Ruoqi and Yun Xi got out of bed, they felt that something was wrong. There were several black shadows on the windows of the room, and when Su Ruoqi moved, those shadows also moved.

Su Ruoqi and Yun Xi looked at each other, then suddenly got out of bed and ran out the door.After going out, those black shadows disappeared, and Yunxi saw a black flash in the corner of the wall.

Because of this torment, both Su Ruoqi and Yunxi were soaked, they moved the flowers in the yard, and soon returned to the house.

Both Yun Xi and Su Ruoqi were well aware of the black shadow just now, but before the spies only watched them outside the courtyard, but now they narrowed their scope to a room.

This kind of life in which every move is subject to suspicion makes Yunxi feel very uneasy.

Both of them tacitly didn't mention this matter, they just changed their wet clothes, put on the quilt, and got ready to sleep.

But both of them have experienced the scene just now, and they don't feel sleepy at all, especially Yun Xi who has been tossing and turning on the bed, looking very restless.

Su Ruoqi hugged Yunxi in his arms, and Yunxi's head lay on Su Ruoqi's chest. While stroking Yunxi's head gently, Su Ruoqi said softly to her: "Sleep, No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

Maybe it was Su Ruoqi's words, Yunxi slowly fell into a deep sleep state, and seemed to dream of some delicious food while sleeping, and even bit her lips.

Su Ruoqi looked at Yun Xi's innocent sleeping face, and kissed her forehead.
