"Ahem!" The snack was a little dry and stuck in his throat, causing Su Ranhua to cough uncontrollably.
"Slow down." Ximenzhe patted her back. He could feel his heart aching when he said these words.
The girl in my memory, although her life is not as luxurious as she should be as the daughter of the prime minister, she still has a peaceful life, and she still has a carefree and sweet smile despite unfair treatment. And many years have passed.
, the woman who has become his royal sister-in-law, although her smile is still as beautiful as ever, she has a more frosty feeling. Especially the first time they met after so many years, they were in prison. Such a situation made her feel sad.
People's hearts are filled with pity and all kinds of feelings.
The news that Su Ranhua was imprisoned for murder spread throughout the palace. When Ximenzhe heard the news, he rushed over as soon as possible, not forgetting to bring her favorite lotus seed cake. He knew that Fanfan would starve after entering the prison cell.
It is the most basic punishment to face. He also heard that Su Ranhua was beaten in Jinhuayuan, but he did not expect that the beating was so severe! Moreover, there were people who dared to throw dirt on her body!
Ximenzhe looked at Su Ranhua and his heart ached. She was not his royal sister-in-law, but a woman who needed his help.
"Ran Hua." Ximen Hao's expression was gloomy, his eyes flashing with suppressed fire, "If I knew that you were in such a situation today, I would definitely plead with my mother and concubine to ask my father for an order earlier to let you marry me instead of
You will fall into the hands of the Second Emperor Brother."
"Your Majesty!" Su Ranhua raised his eyes and looked at Ximenzhe, stopping Ximenzhe's words with his eyes. In the deep palace, which is always facing violent storms, you can't say random words.
"Don't be afraid, I know what's appropriate." Ximenzhe smiled. He didn't want Su Ranhua to be afraid, but his turbulent heart could not be calmed. He is the son of Concubine Yao, and he does not have the status of a queen, nor does he have the status of a concubine.
Favored and even the youngest prince, under the guidance of his mother and concubine, he lived in the palace without fighting against the world and acted as a carefree King of the West. He did not have the capital to compete with his royal brothers, but he did not want to
He gave up everything he wanted. However, without power, there is nothing. He did not fight for the country. At the same time, he could only obey an imperial edict and let Su Ranhua become the North Princess.
I originally thought that the second emperor's brother Ximen Hao had insulted Su Ranhua first, and because of some strange combination of circumstances, he already had his child, so he had some affection for Su Ranhua. But now it seems that the murderer from the Beiwang Mansion
The case was definitely the reason why the second emperor brother wanted to abandon Su Ranhua. Killing a humble maid was just a matter of raising a finger for the cold-blooded Ximen Hao.
At this time, Ximenzhe faced the scarred Su Ranhua, and he was only worried about her future and resentful that he was helpless.
The guard guarding the prison hurried in and urged carefully.
"Let her eat first." Ximenzhe glanced at the guard and brought the cake to Su Ranhua's mouth again.
"Prince Xi, please think of me. You took the key to me and broke into prison. I am already facing the punishment for dereliction of duty. Please leave as soon as possible to leave me a way to survive."
As he spoke, the guard knelt down and kept kowtowing his head.
"You hurry up, I can eat it myself." Su Ranhua glanced at the poor guard. It turned out that Ximenzhe broke into the cell by force. It turned out that it was not easy for a prince to come to see her.
"Just wait, I will find a way to save you." Ximenzhe gently placed the lotus seed cake in front of Su Ranhua, looked directly at Su Ranhua, and said firmly. Then he rolled it up and removed it from Su Ranhua.
He took off his dirty clothes, stood up, and strode out of the cell.
The key was thrown carelessly at the guard's feet, and a clear and discreet clang sounded in the gloomy cell.
After taking Ximenzhe away, the guard quietly wiped his sweat and stood up, walked out of the cell, and locked the door.
Even though Ximenzhe is a powerless prince, he has a noble status that a little guard like him would not dare to offend. What's more, when he stopped him from breaking into the prison just now, this little prince was not what people said he was.
So weak, with a toughness that insisted on meeting people, she snatched the key from his waist without any explanation.
It seems that the prince is the prince, after all, he has the emperor as his backer.
The guard shook his head and sighed as he walked outside the prison. While abiding by his duties, he was worried about the punishment he would face if the news was leaked.
Su Ranhua did not expect that Ximenzhe left the palace and went to the North Palace as soon as he left the cell.
"Prince of the West?" Butler Lin was a little surprised to see Ximen Zhe. This young prince had always lived alone in the palace and was strictly guarded by his mother and concubine. How could he suddenly come to the North Prince's Mansion?
"Steward Lin, I want to see Xiaorou's body." When Ximen Zhe heard that Ximen Hao was not at the house, he directly told Butler Lin the purpose of his visit.
"It is too heavy a gift for the prince to send off a maid. The prince still returns to the palace. It is Xiaorou's great blessing to have such intention." Butler Lin was well aware of Ximenzhe's request, but deliberately
It distorted his original intention.
"I'm not here to see you off, I'm here to do an autopsy!" Ximenzhe said clearly, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to walk into the house.
"Autopsy? There has been a murder in my palace, why should I bother the King of the West to conduct an autopsy?" Ximen Hao's abrupt voice sounded from behind Ximen Zhe.
"Second Emperor Brother," Ximen Zhe turned around and saw Ximen Hao just standing outside the palace gate, so he walked quickly towards him and said urgently, "I don't believe that Princess Bei can kill people. Please ask Second Emperor Brother to find out the truth as soon as possible and pick up the princess."
Go back home and don’t suffer any more injustice in prison.”
"You came to Beiwang Mansion just to plead for Su Ranhua?" Ximen Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ximen Zhe who was sweating because he was in a hurry.
"Second Emperor Brother, Princess Bei will not kill anyone!" Ximenzhe said firmly.
"Whether you kill someone or not, it's not just an empty word. What's more, Su Ranhua is the king's concubine. Why is the fourth brother so anxious?" Ximen Hao's eyes suddenly sharpened, staring at Ximen Zhe, with a clear and unwavering look in his eyes.
Nervous, with a slight beating.
"Because she... is my royal sister-in-law," Ximenzhe said after being startled, hiding the disappointment that inadvertently showed in his eyes.
"It turns out that the fourth brother cares so much about the emperor's wife." Ximen Hao's lips curved into an unnoticed arc.
"Second Emperor Brother," Ximen Zhe looked at Ximen Hao with a bit of pleading, "No matter what, you take the emperor's wife out of the palace first. I believe that as long as you take action, you can definitely take the emperor's wife out of the prison."
"She committed a murder and should stay in the criminal room waiting for trial. Why should I break the rules for her?" Ximen Hao was indifferent.
