After Ximen Hao, who was handling affairs in Mingyue Tower, heard the information coming from the palace, he pursed his thin lips slightly and looked out the window with deep eyes. It was late autumn, and the withered yellow leaves were falling to the ground.
"Your Majesty, do you want to enter the palace?" Butler Lin stood aside and asked with lowered hands.
"I just left the palace as soon as my father asked me to leave the palace. Why are we going to fly a kite? I hooked up with Ximen Yi at night, and then got into trouble with Ximen Zhe during the day. It's really a scourge that persists despite repeated admonitions." Ximen Hao crossed his arms across his chest and leaned on him.
He said through the window, with his back to Butler Lin, and the voice that came out was calm and calm.
"But now we have arrived at Ye Tingxuan, I'm afraid it will be serious." Lin Guanjia said, "When the secret news about Concubine Rong's affair was spread, she was tried in Ye Tingxuan according to the royal family's ancestral system, and the result proved that both parties were innocent.
, that man watched helplessly as Concubine Rong died tragically in Yetingxuan, and the Emperor could only regret it."
"If my father truly regrets, he will not enter Yetingxuan again today." Ximen Hao looked into the distance and said coldly, "Ximen Zhe is not the same man back then. He will not turn a blind eye to Su Ran's paintings.
.”
"Your Majesty, you are expecting the King of the West to do something unfavorable to you?" Butler Lin was a little confused.
"Sixteen years old is the age when he starts to rebel. Even though Concubine Yao has been keeping him by her side since he was a child and strictly disciplined him, if his nature is suppressed and hidden, it will begin to show up. Ever since Su Ranhua was locked up in the criminal room
Since he was imprisoned, Ximen Zhe is no longer the little prince who obediently obeyed Concubine Yao." Ximen Hao said, his mind flashed to the appearance of Ximen Zhe he saw when Su Ranhua returned home the day before yesterday. He did not expect it.
, Ximen Zhehui quietly ran out of the palace in order to see Su Ran's painting, and appeared at the door of Beiwang Mansion in disguise. Although his expression was helpless at the time, as long as he could stand in front of Su Ran's painting, it showed that he was still brave.
big.
The cold atmosphere in Yetingxuan gradually condensed.
Su Ranhua obeyed Ximen Xianchu's order, strode to the side of the room, and stood next to the dagger with its blades inserted all over the outside.
Ximen Xianchu waved his hand gently, and the eunuch led the wolf dog in, and tied the dog to a hook on the other wall.
"Three hours," Ximen Xianchu said, looking at the wolf dog that was already eyeing Su Ranhua, "If the King of the West can let Princess Bei stay in for three hours, it will prove that the relationship between you is ruthless and innocent."
Is ruthlessness equal to innocence? This is the first time Su Ranhua has heard that a person's ruthlessness must be used to prove each other's innocence. ruthlessness cannot even have ordinary friends, brothers and sisters. It is indeed pure innocence, just
It's like - training a killer!
Su Ranhua looked directly at Ximen Xianchu calmly, with a domineering and indifferent expression like an iron-faced judge.
Su Ranhua's calmness made Ximen Xianchu's heart sink slightly. He gently raised his hand to indicate that the eunuch received the order and immediately sent a command to the wolf dog.
"Woof woof woof!"
The almost crazy barking of the wolf dog echoed throughout Yetingxuan, making everyone present shudder.
Ximen Zhe was pulled tightly by Concubine Yao, his wide-eyed pupils dilated infinitely, and he was completely focused on Su Ranhua inside the iron bars.
Bai Zhanfeng lowered his head slightly, hiding a sinister smile in the shadow cast by the light.
"Woof woof woof!"
The wolf dog pounced on Su Ranhua, but it was tied with a long chain. When Su Ranhua dodged to the corner of the wall, the wolf dog was just out of reach of Su Ranhua.
Su Ranhua watched the wolf dog baring its teeth and claws in front of him, jumping high with its front hooves, almost scratching his face, and wanted to retreat, but what he faced behind him was a sharp dagger, and he would hurt himself if he was not careful.
I really don’t know who designed this size. It was so perfect that Su Ranhua could only stand upright in the corner without daring to move.
If you accidentally sway, you will either be bitten by the dog in front or stabbed by the dagger behind you.
Because the wolf dog couldn't reach Su Ranhua, the screams became more and more ferocious, and the momentum became more and more fierce. The madness came one after another, making Su Ranhua feel unsteady. If the stalemate continued like this, let alone three hours, it would be
It was difficult to stay peacefully for half an hour.
No, we can't wait until our physical strength is exhausted and face the ignorant situation. Su Ranhua thought, his eyes condensed, paying attention to every attack of the wolf dog, and the golden needle in his sleeve was ready to go.
It was easy to deal with a wolf dog, let alone a chained one. Su Ranhua was confident that he could kill this ferocious dog with one move.
But - Su Ranhua looked outside the room. Everyone held their breath and looked at her, as if they were watching a thrilling and terrifying movie, and there was no sound.
What kind of turmoil would it cause if his murderous intentions were revealed in public? Especially in front of the emperor who couldn't fathom the depth.
After thinking for a while, Su Ranhua put away the golden needle between his fingers and focused his attention on the dagger behind him.
The gleaming dagger is a sharp weapon specially prepared for her.
Su Ranhua raised his hand, touched the hilt of the dagger, and tried it. It was firmly inserted into the wall, as if it was built with the wall mixed with soil.
Concubine Yao held Ximenzhe's hand tightly and could clearly feel the tension all over his body, as if she would explode violently if she was not restrained inadvertently.
"You must wait obediently until the three hours are over." Concubine Yao whispered to Ximenzhe.
"She can't hold on. No one can hold on safely!" Ximenzhe's voice came out from between his teeth.
Since the establishment of the Qingyuan Dynasty, only a handful of people have been imprisoned in Ye Tingxuan. The best result is that there was a general who was rumored to have had an affair with the emperor's woman. Although he walked out of Ye Tingxuan alive, he was imprisoned by the wall.
The dagger pierced his back. Rather than saying that the man escaped the bite of the wolf dog, it is better to say that he used the injury on his back to distance himself from the wolf dog, but the heavy bleeding almost killed him.
No matter how miserable the situation of the person inside the house is, another person standing outside cannot plead for mercy. To plead for mercy is tantamount to acquiescence, and it is tantamount to pushing oneself into another dilemma.
"This is your calamity, you must grit your teeth and get through it." Concubine Yao's voice was unusually low. When things got to this point, the only thing she wanted to protect was his son.
"Mother!" Ximenzhe called out in a deep voice, closing his eyes tightly, trapping all the helplessness, worry, and pain within his eyelids.
"ah!"
A scream suddenly sounded, not from Su Ranhua, but from behind everyone.
Everyone's attention was attracted by new curiosity, and they turned their heads one after another. They saw Ximen Wan holding the door frame with his hands, squatting down slowly with a weak body, his face was pale, and he looked like a ghost in the dark Yetingxuan.
Ximen Wan's body was shaking non-stop, his face looked panicked, as if he had seen something very scary, and his eyes became empty.
