"Ah?" He Sheng thought there was something wrong with his ears or that he had hallucinated. He didn't seem to understand what the emperor meant, so he asked, "Your Majesty...what did you say?"

Qi Bingyu looked at him coldly, and then said: "Is He Sheng old? I said that I would go to Tianlao."

He Sheng heard clearly now. He suddenly panicked and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, how could you go to a place like that? You are not in good health. That place is damp and dirty. How could you let him go?" What do you want to do if you go in person? Just let the old slave do it for you. Why go in person?" 0

The movement at the door made Xia Rongxin, who was looking at the heavy snow in the distance with her back to the Qinzheng Palace, slowly turned her head. She looked at Qi Bingyu on the steps. Now it seems that his condition is not as good as she imagined, and his face is a little pale. .

He Sheng knelt at Qi Bingyu's feet and begged, but Qi Bingyu remained indifferent.

Xia Rongxin turned back and caught Qi Bingyu's attention. They looked at each other in silence and Xia Rongxin even forgot to salute Qi Bingyu. 0

He Sheng kept saying: "Your Majesty, you can't go to the prison! Your Majesty!"

Xia Rongxin heard that the emperor was going to Tianlao. Thinking about it, Xia Rongxin soon knew that Qi Bingyu went to Tianlao for no other reason than to call Lu Huiling. She knew that Qi Bingyu couldn't let Lu Huiling go, so she didn't kill him. She, too, Qi Bingyu couldn't let go of Lu Fushuang, so he wanted to see her before Lu Huiling left.

After Xia Rongxin heard this, she understood in her heart, and then she slowly withdrew her eyes and lowered her head. Her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and the light in her eyes dimmed - he always put Lu Fushuang first. A person has always been like this and will definitely be like this in the future.

Qi Bingyu's behavior made Xia Rongxin completely understand that she could not win against Lu Fushuang. She would never win over Lu Fushuang in this life, so... after a brief thought, Xia Rongxin gave up. She didn't want to struggle like this anymore.

Now that I think about it, I have two sons and a daughter, and my position is the highest in the palace. The emperor relies on me and needs me to be in charge of the harem and take care of the harem affairs. This means that I seem to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, so Xia Rongxin is relieved. , the emperor’s favor doesn’t seem to be that important anymore.

After all, it has always been like this from before to now.

After thinking this, Xia Rongxin slowly knelt down in the heavy snow, just like she had kneeled for a long time outside the Qinzheng Hall yesterday.

"I have seen the emperor..." Xia Rongxin slowly opened her mouth and saluted the emperor, but she maintained the same posture from beginning to end and never moved.

Qi Bingyu watched Xia Rongxin slowly kneel down to him, and for a moment his heart seemed to be blocked by something. Facing Xia Rongxin, he wanted to escape for the first time.

He Sheng stopped persuading him. He originally thought that Concubine Mei had seen it and would persuade the emperor to give up the idea of ​​going to the prison out of consideration for the emperor's health.

But when He Sheng watched Concubine Mei slowly kneel down and salute the emperor, he knew in his heart that Concubine Mei was desperate for the emperor.

"Prepare the sedan." Qi Bingyu looked at Xia Rongxin's kneeling figure, but was speechless. He only knew that he had to go to Tianlao to see Lu Huiling now. If he didn't, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

After saying that, Qi Bingyu walked down the steps and left without even looking at Xia Rongxin. He didn't want to get entangled with Xia Rongxin anymore. Right now, he had more important things to do...

He Sheng watched the emperor leaving without even looking at Concubine Mei. He could only feel sorry for the empress in his heart. Then with the help of He Yu, he slowly stood up and headed in the direction where the emperor left. Go.

When passing by Concubine Mei, He Sheng knelt down and said to Concubine Mei: "Concubine Mei... you are up, the emperor is gone."

He Sheng looked at Concubine Mei's still motionless figure and thought that she didn't know that the emperor was gone, so he reminded her.i

But how could Xia Rongxin not know that Qi Bingyu had left? She knelt on the ground and leaned down. She could feel the crunching sound of Qi Bingyu walking in front of her, stepping on the thick snow, but Xia Rongxin could also hear it. Qi Bingyu didn't hesitate in his steps. He was anxious to see Lu Huiling.

Xia Rongxin's tears fell on the snow drop by drop, making potholes one after another in the white and soft snow. Xia Rongxin heard the sound of her heart breaking, and from then on she also lost hope in Qi Bingyu.

He Sheng saw that Concubine Mei was still motionless, but the emperor had already gone far away. He Sheng had no choice but to weigh it, and he sighed and said to Concubine Mei: "Concubine Mei, you should cherish yourself! Old slave. Having said that, the emperor is still waiting for the old slave, and the old slave... then left. Aunt Yunxi, take good care of the empress."

Yun Xi nodded and said, "Grandpa, don't worry."

He Sheng nodded and hurriedly followed the emperor.

Aunt Yun Xi looked at the figure of Concubine Mei kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but feel distressed. She lowered her body and said softly: "My concubine, please get up, or your knees will hurt again."

With that said, Yun Xi was about to help Concubine Mei stand up.

Xia Rongxin lost all her strength, so she slowly stood up with Yun Xi. She had red cheeks and sat on the snow with tears on her face. She looked at Qi Bingyu's retreating back and shed two more lines of tears.

Qi Bingyu hurried to Tianlao. When the officers and soldiers guarding Tianlao saw the emperor's arrival, they felt panicked and quickly knelt down to greet him: "Your Majesty is here. I am sorry to hear you come from afar, but... I hope you will forgive me." !”

Qi Bingyu walked at the front, followed by He Sheng, He Yu and a large group of imperial guards. Dozens of people almost occupied the entire prison.

Qi Bingyu looked around. He had never been to Tianlao before. Only when he came to Tianlao for the first time did he know what darkness was.

He didn't care about this and quickly asked: "Where is Lu Huiling?"

The warden was obviously nervous and couldn't hear what the emperor was saying, so he raised his head and asked: "Ah? Your Majesty... Your Majesty... You..."

He Sheng was worried that the warden would make the emperor angry again, so he hurriedly said: "The emperor asked you where the former concubine Ming, Lu Huiling, is now being held. The emperor wants to see her. Find a clean place and bring her here." !”

He Sheng was always worried that the emperor's condition would get worse again because of the damp and dirty environment here, so he mentioned it one more time.

Only then did the warden realize that the emperor was here to see Lu Huiling.

Then he said quickly: "Please enter the main hall and wait for a moment. Concubine Ming is here..."

"I won't wait, just take me there!" Qi Bingyu's tone had an unquestionable feeling that could not be ignored.

"Your Majesty!" He Sheng was a little anxious, "This..."
