Mei Yao quickly came to her senses. When she saw Chen Feng coming with a green face, he was so frightened. She never expected that he would suddenly come to her at this time.
Just the night before, Chenfeng had accidentally asked about Long Ling'er's whereabouts. Her answer at that time was that she started to arrange things for her in the servants' room outside Yongchen Palace. Later, she couldn't bear the hard life and escaped from the palace.
"Meiyao, be brave, what are you doing? You guys,"
Chen Feng originally came to see her just because he was going to court. Suddenly he thought that something was left behind her. He hurriedly came over. The girl at the palace gate said, "She is here." I was wondering how she, who was usually very strict with her servants, could do this.
to the servants' courtyard. But he said to himself that maybe she just suddenly discovered that she was considerate of the servants.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived here, she found that the chaimen was tightly closed. There was a faint sound of whipping inside. There was even a sound of her drinking coldly and coquettishly, which was completely different from her usual well-behaved and soft nature.
At that time, she sternly signaled to those people not to announce anything, and she immediately opened the door and walked in. What she saw was that she was interrogating a person in the execution hall.
He looked at the frail figure of a woman with her hands and feet tied on the pillar, her hair disheveled, wearing single clothes, and covered in blood. There was also Mei Yao's obviously ferocious and terrifying expression.
Without thinking, Chen Feng rushed over and snatched the dagger from her hand. Then he looked at the people around him who seemed to be amused and didn't do anything, and turned around angrily to scold them.
"This slave deserves to die, please spare my life, my king."
"I deserve to die, it was all cousin Mei Yao's idea. In order to get the snake-shaped hairpin, she deliberately found an excuse to arrest Miss Long and interrogate her. She has nothing to do with me, Wang."
When the servants saw Chen Feng coming in, they were dumbfounded. They immediately knelt on the ground in fear and respect, kowtowing to Chen Feng and pleading.
Seeing the servants like this, Mei Yao was petrified. Even Xianzi standing behind her was petrified. Without thinking, Mei Yao knelt down with a plop, looking like she lowered her head and confessed.
Xianzi was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said to Chen Feng in horror.
Before she could finish her words, she was stopped on the spot by Mei Yao who was beside her. Mei Yao angrily reached out and pinched her hard, which hurt her and she quickly stopped talking. She just lowered her head and said nothing.
"Chen Feng, you are finally here. Chen Feng, I thought Ling'er would never see you again in this life,"
Ling'er, who was already beaten and dying, heard the news of Chen Feng's arrival. A bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. This smile made her face twitch in pain. She struggled slowly and shook her body. Of course, this simple movement hurt.
She could not help but grit her teeth, and her whole body was trembling slightly. It was obvious that she was holding back the pain all over her body and suppressing her urge to scream out in pain.
She murmured weakly and feebly. After saying that, her head hung down feebly again and she passed out again.
In fact, her head was lowered, and Chen Feng didn't see her face clearly at all. When she shouted like this, he realized it was her. In the whole snake world, she was the only one who dared to call his name. When he saw her like this, Chen Feng's face lit up.
There was a chill.
This cold air made the servants, including Xianzi, tremble slightly all over.
"Ling'er, you, Mei Yao, you deserve to die. You did this to her, you, get out of here. Come on, save her quickly. Come on, come on, the imperial doctor, Xiao Qinzi."
As soon as he saw clearly that it was Ling'er, he saw her unconscious like this. Chenfeng felt that the blood in his whole body had condensed instantly, and his heartache made it difficult for him to breathe.
In just a moment, he stepped forward and hurriedly untied the rope that tied Ling'er. He shouted nervously and panicked until he was sure that she was still breathing. Then he stretched his arms across his arms, hugged her, and stood there.
Mei Yao came forward and talked angrily.
After saying that, he kicked Mei Yao. The figure of Mei Yao staggered to the side. Regardless of her struggle and begging for mercy, Chen Feng went out at that time and shouted nervously to the eunuchs and maids outside.
"King, please spare my life, King. I was just confused for a moment, King."
Seeing Chen Feng leave like this, Mei Yao struggled and ignored the pain in her body, got up and rushed towards Chen Feng. At that time, she knelt down at his feet and hugged his feet, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Confused? Confused for a moment? I'm afraid you had a premeditated plan. You said you would pick her up and come to help. You also said that she had left on her own. This is your loyalty to me, and it is the lie you kept saying that you did not lie to me.
Now you even set up a private torture hall for me in the inner palace to deceive me. You deserve to die for this crime. Come, take her away from me and lock her in her palace. No one can visit her without my order. Also
A little bit. In the end, you make sure she is fine. Otherwise, I will use your head to worship her and take her away."
Hearing what she said, Chen Feng even smiled coldly. He remembered clearly what she said to him at that time. Although he didn't know why she beat Ling'er so cruelly, he had completely lost sight of Mei Yao on this matter.
Lookout.
This vicious-hearted woman, what qualifications does she have to be his queen? He asked her coldly at that time, and saw that she was just begging for her life. He said angrily, and kicked her open again. He couldn't see her staggering and falling.
Without looking, he hugged Ling'er and hurried forward while shouting orders to the guards.
"Yes, Wang, please please."
When the guard saw that he had ordered to leave, he said respectfully. He stepped forward and grabbed Mei Yao, who was still struggling to get up and beg Chen Feng. He took her away despite her continuous cries and pleas.
Seeing such a sudden change, Xianzi didn't dare to say anything. She quickly stood up and sent Chen Feng away respectfully from a distance. She also hid in her own palace and didn't dare to come out again.
"Xianzi, save me, save me, the king will definitely kill me, Xianzi." As soon as Xianzi came out, she was caught in time by Mei Yao, who was obviously frightened and timid and was pulling away.
Mei Yao grabbed her hand and shouted repeatedly regardless of her identity.
"Cousin, calm down, calm down, I will try my best to find a way, cousin,"
Poor two cousins, they are like this now. Xianzi herself is too scared to speak out. But seeing her crying and begging so sadly, she still had no choice but to hold her hand and keep talking.
"Let's go, let's go," the guard dragged Mei Yao away, ignoring their sisters' previous pull.
"Cousin, cousin,"
Xianzi could only watch her being pulled away, turning back repeatedly to beg for mercy, and said in a panic. She wanted to step forward but did not dare to stop her.
"Empress, you can't save her at all. She has caused you and the king to be prejudiced against you. Let's discuss it carefully when we go back, Master."
Seeing Xianzi panicking and trying to catch up, her servants caught her in time and spoke with concern. They also led her towards her room.
"Master, do you really want to save Master Mei?"
Looking at the master who looked flustered, nervous and anxious, the nanny couldn't help but ask Xianzi, who was walking back and forth with a worried look on her face.
"Well, no matter what? My cousin's crime is not worthy of death. She was just confused for a moment. I must find a way to save her. But I, yes, I will leave the palace to find Daddy and Uncle Mei, otherwise the woman will really
If she dies, the king will definitely kill my cousin."
Xianzi definitely nodded.
"Oh, Master." Seeing her running away, Mammy was obviously a little helpless. Why is the Master so stupid? That Mistress Mei and the others saw it in their eyes. Since when did they treat the Master as a sister? Now that she is in trouble, come on.
Asking for help.
Of course, there is another point. If Mei Yao's crime is not worthy of death, then should any human woman who is highly valued by the king should die?
When Xianzi was about to leave Yongchen Palace, a figure blocked her way.
"Why are you so panicked? What happened?"
It turned out to be Zoya who happened to be passing by. Seeing Xianzi running with messy hair and a panic look on her face, she couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.
"Sonya, I don't have time to tell you this now. I have to leave the palace quickly and let dad and uncle Mei come to save my cousin. Otherwise she will definitely be beheaded by the king," Xianzi said in response to Suo Ya's low question.
He didn't hide anything at all. He told her in a panic and ran out at that time.
"Wait, why are you so anxious? Xianzi, let me ask you. Do you like the king and want to be the queen?"
Seeing that she was about to leave, Zoya grabbed her again, stood in front of her and asked.
"I, I really like the king and want to be the queen, but..."
Not understanding the reason for Zoya's question, Xianzi was confused but timidly said that she was low-spirited at the time.
"That's good. Since you like it, why don't you fight for it? You have to be someone else's shadow. Besides, Mei Yao usually yells at you coldly. Does she regard you as a sister? Is it worth it for you to offend the king for her?
"
Seeing her like this, Suo Ya persuaded her again. As for Mei Yao's arrogance, she didn't think that she was a role that she could take advantage of. Maybe the little girl in front of her was really her scapegoat.
"I, can't I just ignore her danger? I,"
Suo Ya's words obviously moved Xianzi, and he looked awkwardly at her expressing the hesitation in her heart again.
"Oh, you are serious too. You just went out to find your father and Mr. Mei, Wang's decision, and the crime Mei Yao committed. Do you think they can persuade Wang to let her go? Impossible, this is a serious crime of beheading.
.When you go out to look for someone, you might as well beg Long Ling'er. When she wakes up, she might let her go for the sake of your deep love for sister Mei Yao. As long as she opens her mouth, the king will definitely agree to her."
Seeing that she was still thinking blankly, Zoya chuckled and gave her some advice.
"I, okay. Please let me think about it. Thank you Zoya. Otherwise, I would be impulsive and get into trouble again."
After lowering her head and thinking for a moment, Xianzi could only say this. Looking at Zoya's chuckle, she said gratefully. She smiled at her and turned around and walked inward. But she forgot one thing. Although Zoya's method
It's feasible, but the premise is to make sure that Ling'er is fine.
Ling'er finally woke up slowly.
"I, this is,"
Slowly opening her eyes, Ling'er was still confused when she saw that she was in a familiar room.
"Ling'er, you finally woke up. You woke up. Do you know how much it hurts to see you dying? I really can't imagine what would happen to you if I were a little late."
Chen Feng, who was sitting next to her, heard her weak voice. His eyes, which were originally filled with worry and anxiety, quickly changed to a look of joy.
He came forward and sat on the edge of the bed. He held her hand pitifully and murmured fearfully. The serious worry and distress were so obvious.
"This, Chenfeng, is it really you? Is it you? Have I returned to Lingyuan again?"
Looking at the familiar face in front of him and thinking about the grievances and torture he had suffered before, Ling'er murmured clearly not believing his eyes. Chen Feng seemed to have known her shock for a long time, grabbing her hand and stroking it.
After making sure that what he touched on his face was so real, Ling'er looked at the familiar environment in disbelief and asked in a low voice.
"Well, it's me, it's me, Ling'er."
Seeing the beauty's reaction finally come to her senses. The shock in her eyes and the injuries on her body. Thinking of these, Chen Feng felt even more distressed and couldn't help himself. These were all things he had inflicted on her. It turned out that he had hurt her so much.
deep.
"I, Chenfeng, but I, don't you care about what happened to me in the bathhouse last time?"
Although his expression was so serious, thinking about the reason for the conflict between the two this time, Ling'er still decisively took out the hand held by him and asked tentatively. Although she wanted to throw herself into his arms and cry.
But thinking about what happened last time, it was really hard for even her to believe in herself.
"Fool, don't say it again. Don't mention it. It's over. I care about it, really. But I blame myself for not being able to protect the woman I love in time and letting you be framed by the bad guys. Until I saw you injured and unconscious.
Only when I was dying in the past did I understand. No matter what happened to you, in my heart, you still hold my heart tightly. Because I love you, I really love you, so I don’t care anymore. Really, I only care about you.
, as long as you are by my side in good health, that is enough."
Looking at the beauty whose eyes were filled with tears after asking this question, Chen Feng felt powerless for the first time. He quickly raised his hand and hugged her into his arms, wiping her tears while he kept talking.
He expressed his true thoughts and feelings during the separation between the two. After saying this, he hugged her tightly and lovingly.
"I, Chenfeng, you are so kind to Ling'er."
Seeing him saying such words, feeling the steady heartbeat of the man holding her in his arms, breathing his breath through her nostrils, and the familiar environment in front of her, Ling'er was sure that she was not dreaming. She said with a grateful smile.
, threw herself into his arms, tears of joy flowing from her eyes.
The figure of the two people making peace and embracing each other happened to catch one person's eye. Seeing their dazzling scene, she was about to come in, but she turned around and left angrily.
"Miss Zoya, when you are looking for the lady, are you also looking for the king?"
Lamei, who was standing at the door, saw her figure who had already arrived and suddenly turned away. He couldn't help but ask her strangely.
"Oh, it's nothing. I forgot that I have something else to do. I'll come visit Ling'er that day." Regarding Lamei's kindness, Suoya said coldly. She turned around and left without looking back.
She had never seen her behave in such a weird way, but when the girls saw her like this, they just sent her away full of doubts.
"Long Ling'er, I didn't expect that you really survived the catastrophe, but you turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Why, why, why can't I, a female from the snake kingdom, deal with her, a little human being? Why is she the only one in the king's eyes?
You can’t see my existence, why, why? Ah.”
In a vast flat land, a figure shouted loudly to the sky and vented his anger. Then he slapped the ground beside him. The wind of the palm fell, and dust flew around. Whose eyes were covered?
