Pick up a princess

Chapter 216 True and False (39)

Xi Yan's footsteps were stagnant, and he turned around slowly, looking at the calm Huo Fei and the calm Shen Qing, his expressions kept changing.After a while, a sneering smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "It seems that Father has a plan in mind!"

Behind the mocking look, there was unwillingness and resentment hidden.

Shen Qing understood that he was not reconciled to his dead mother and concubine.But what's the use of being unwilling in the face of a high-ranking emperor?
"Eighth prince, the emperor has his own reasons for doing this... The so-called small intolerance will lead to great conspiracy!" Huo Fei persuaded in a low voice, Xi Yan smiled coldly, and turned his gaze to Shen Qing.

"Sister-in-law, we are all the sons of my father, and we are also the most ruthless people in the world..."

Those words pierced Shen Qing's heart like an ice pick, she closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, and regained her usual smiling expression.

"Nothing is absolute in the world, why should the eighth prince be too pessimistic!" Yes, she has experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships since she was a child, and she has cried and laughed. Influence her!
"I hope the emperor's sister-in-law has a certain status in the heart of the emperor..." Xi Yan shook his head and smiled lightly. There was no irony in these words, but it sounded a little sad.

Shen Qing involuntarily clenched the red-headed rope in her palm, and calmly said to Huo Fei: "Let's go..."

What she wants to enter is Lanting Pavilion, not the guillotine!

Huo Fei nodded, and sent the guards to take Shen Qing out of the Xuanyang Palace, and walked towards Lantingxuan. Because Shen Qing was a relative of the emperor, the guards were respectful and polite, and they didn't even use the ropes to tie people up. After walking along the winding path for a long time, he finally stopped at a spiraling stone staircase.

"Crown Princess, please—" The guard bowed slightly, leading to the end of the stone staircase was an antique door.The door opened slowly with a "squeak", and a tangy dark damp air followed.

This is the place where the imperial family criminals are imprisoned. There will be no brocades and braziers to keep warm. Everything is dark and gloomy. For the royal family who are used to fine clothes and fine food, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to be locked up here!
But Shen Qing is different, she has stayed in no matter how bad the environment is, she can follow the guards into Lanting Pavilion calmly all the way, and stand in front of the iron gate of a separate prison, so that the leader guarding Lantingxuan can't help being amazed .
