"Shut up, Murong's house has been confiscated now. The Queen must be in hot water too. If you still want her to save us, wouldn't you push her into the fire pit?" The person who spoke was none other than Murong Qianqian's mother.

"How can the eldest lady be so selfish? For the sake of the glory of the Queen, we will sacrifice the entire Murong Mansion. If the Queen is willing to intercede, maybe everyone can survive."

A concubine retorted, and someone immediately responded, "That's right, sir, let's beg the Queen~"

Murong Lan never spoke. His eyes were slightly closed. In the dim light, it was unclear what his emotions were at the moment. Only a heavy aura was exuding from his body.

"Stop arguing." After a while, he opened his eyes. "Look at what it's like. It's just a death. If I lose, I have to accept the consequences."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and when they came to their senses, they cried even more noisily, and the atmosphere in the prison became even more disgusting.

"Father, mother~" Murong Qianqian stepped forward and called softly twice.

Madam Murong thought she was hallucinating, but when she turned around, she really saw Murong Qianqian standing in front of her. She rushed to the fence excitedly, "Qian... Queen, why are you here?"

Holding Mrs. Murong's cold hand, Murong Qianqian said in a choked voice: "I came to see you and dad. How can I bear it when you are in this prison?"

At this moment, when the concubine saw Murong Qianqian coming, she immediately knelt on the ground, crying and clamoring for her to come to Xuanyuan Yao to plead for mercy in order to save their lives.

"Empress, please go back. I and I will remember the kindness of the Empress today." Murong Lan bowed slightly, although his tone was cold, but his eyes had the kindness of a father.

Murong Qianqian understood Murong Lan's attitude at the moment because she didn't want to implicate her because of this matter. In ancient times, married daughters threw water, so even if everyone in Murong's mansion was beheaded, she could live in peace.

However, how can Murong Qianqian be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Her eyes were red and she said: "Mom and dad, I will beg the emperor, you should take good care of yourself."

After saying that, she shook Madam Murong's hand hard and said, "Mom, please wait for me to save you~"

"Okay, mother, I believe you~" Mrs. Murong's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at the figure who turned and walked away. She turned around and said to Murong Lan: "Master, our daughter really did not disappoint."

Murong Lan took a deep breath and nodded: "Well, I have no regrets in this life. The only blame is that I lost to Xia Houfu. Madam... you won't blame me, right?"

Madam Murong shook her head, "Life or death is up to fate. I will go wherever I go, but... the Queen, I really can't worry about you."

"It's okay. I won't harm the empress or the entire Murong family just because of my failure this time. Murong Lan will never be finished."

This time, it seemed that Xia Houfu was causing trouble behind his back, but now he finally realized that the real person behind it was Xuanyuan Yao, who was consolidating his imperial power.

However, since the Xuanying dynasties, the Murong Mansion has had special privileges, that is, unless they are guilty of conspiracy to usurp the throne, they do not have to be executed.

Now that he is in jail for enriching himself, as long as he obeys the law, the entire Murong Mansion, including the Empress, will be in peace.

Therefore, he tightened his fingers and looked at each other with Madam Murong and smiled, expressing their mutual determination.

…

Murong Qianqian walked out of the prison in a hurry. Ye Chen followed behind him and called her name, but she seemed not to hear him.

Ye Chen stepped forward, grabbed her shoulders from behind, and said distressedly: "Qianqian, calm down~"

"Calm down?" Murong Qianqian turned around, bit her lip and said, "I'm very calm. You see, I'm neither in a state of despair nor crying."

She forced herself to be strong, which made Ye Chen's heart hurt like a knife. He wanted to just pull her into his arms and tell her to speak out if she's afraid and shed tears if she wanted to.

However, Ye Chen just sighed helplessly and said in a low voice: "You are going to ask the emperor, but have you ever thought that this time maybe..."

"There's no chance, Yaoyao dotes on me and loves me, so he will definitely love Wujiwu and punish his parents lightly." Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, Murong Qianqian had already cut off without hesitation.

No, it must not be like that. She knew what Ye Chen's unfinished words meant. Without Yao Yao's order this time when her parents were imprisoned, who would have dared to be so bold as to imprison the powerful prime minister in the sky prison?

But knowing this, she couldn't help but tell herself that although he was a king and although he wanted to maintain his political power, he would definitely feel sorry for her.

With such hope, Murong Qianqian shook off Ye Chen's hand and quickly turned around without looking at him.

When I arrived at Haoxuan Hall, I saw Li Caihou waiting under the dripping eaves with a very ugly face, pacing back and forth anxiously.

As soon as he saw her coming, his face suddenly turned pale as if he had seen a ghost, he turned around and walked quickly in another direction.

Just as he took a step forward, Murong Qianqian stopped him, "Li Cai, am I scary? Why are you running away~"

"I'm here to see you," Li Cai said with a smile, "Your Majesty is really joking. Your Majesty is so charming that you can't be frightened.

The slave just suddenly remembered something important and didn't notice the Queen coming over for a moment, so he turned around and prepared to leave, hoping that the Queen would forgive me."

Murong Qianqian didn't have time to listen to his long speech. She just looked at the middle of the palace and said, "Has the emperor come back? I want to see him." After saying that, he prepared to open the door and enter.

"Your Majesty~" Li Cai stopped her, "My Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty said you won't see anyone today."

"Including me?" Murong Qianqian asked with a frown.

Li Cai nodded, "Including the empress."

Stunned, Murong Qianqian looked at Li Cai in disbelief, as if he had just told a huge lie, "Li Cai, are you joking with me? How could Yaoyao not see me."

Although this sentence was asked to Li Cai, it was so slight that it seemed like he was mumbling to himself, and there was an unspeakable pain spreading unbridled in his heart.

"Empress, you should go back. If the emperor wants to see you, he will naturally come to see you. There is no point in staying here now." Li Cai advised kindly.
