She stepped into this trap herself and lost her life in vain.
"What did you say?" Zhang Dongyu's face turned slightly pale, and his voice seemed to burst out from between his teeth, which was creepy. "Tell me everything you know! If you dare to tell a lie, I will ask you to taste what life means."
It’s better to die!”
Lian'er's heart trembled, her gentle eyes met him, and she bit her lip and said: "The Emperor knows that the Crown Princess is the murderer of Concubine Rong, but the Emperor cannot punish the Crown Princess for her crime."
"Why not?" She is just a foreign woman. Even if the prince dotes on her, she is just a favorite concubine. Helian Bobo can't offend him because of her! Although he is only the Minister of the Ministry of War, in Tongwan City, who doesn't know about his military power?
maximum?
"Because the Crown Princess is pregnant." How could someone of royal blood be convicted and sentenced to death together with his mother? "In order to give an explanation to General Duanmu, the Emperor had already thought of putting on a play, but he didn't expect that Miss Zhang would hate him.
The princess was so awesome that when she saw her escaping from Tongwan City, she led her people to follow her, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate her. Because of this, Miss Zhang fell into the trap and became a scapegoat."
"So they want to kill Xiaocui and silence her just to put all the blame on her?" Zhang Dongyu closed his eyes to hide the sadness and pain in his eyes. What she said was reasonable, but..."
How do you, a little concubine, know all this?"
"That's because I was designed to act out all this, and the person who was offered up as a scapegoat to General Duanmu was me, slave." She bit her lip, her little body trembling with fear, "Slave
I still have my parents and a young brother in my hometown."
At this point, there is no need to say anything more. The royal family is ruthless, and sacrificing a mere innocent woman in order to protect someone who is valuable to them is nothing. "But now that you tell me all this, you are not afraid of them dealing with you.
With your family?"
"So I asked your lord at the beginning whether I can trust you." Lian'er knelt and moved two steps forward, pleading: "Please save your relatives, they are all innocent. I will run away tonight.
If you come out, your life will be taken away by the emperor and the princess at any time, but the slave's family doesn't know anything, they should not be treated cruelly, please save them, please save them."
After saying that, she knocked her little head heavily, and while banging, she begged: "Sir, please save my relatives, please!"
Zhang Dongyu just looked at her coldly, did not stop her from begging for mercy, and did not agree to any of her requests. Lian'er kowtowed for a long time, but got no response from him. She opened her beautiful eyes in surprise and looked at him with a look of resentment: "Sir
,Are you... not agreeing to be a slave?"
After a long time, she still couldn't wait for his response. Lian'er lowered her eyes, slowly stood up, and then leaned slightly towards him and saluted: "My lord, just pretend that I haven't appeared tonight. I, this slave...resigned."
.”
She is slender, weak, and has a cold back.
Behind him, Zhang Dongyusen's cold voice slowly sounded: "Since the royal family is ruthless, don't blame me for being unrighteous."
Lian'er was startled, still standing there and not daring to turn around to face him, her beautiful thin lips slightly raised into a sweet smile.
### As Yang Xi expected, Zhang Dongyu really launched an attack, and Tongwan City fell into dire straits overnight.
He Lian Ye led the royal army to resist. However, to Yang Xi's expectation but not to her surprise, at least one third of the troops He Lian Xu took away were lurking outside Tongwan City. They
Using the mountain top as a stronghold, they turned into rogue bandits and dispersed to defend themselves. According to Helianye, they stayed to prevent the country from suddenly invading, but they did not expect to use it to suppress their own country's army.
No wonder he said that day that she didn't need to worry about it. It turned out that Xu had already prepared for it.
Zhang Dongyu's imperial army rebelled overnight, but was suppressed within a day. Even those lurking in the dark may not have expected this. Smoke was everywhere outside the palace. In order to suppress the rebels, most of the royal troops inside the palace
They have left the palace in batches to participate in the war. The entire Tongwan City is filled with smoke and war. Although the war has come to an end, the streets are still depressed and chaotic.
It is really unnecessary for one's own people to fight one's own people. Many of the two sides are compatriots and relatives. This battle is so cruel.
Yang Xi unconsciously took two bites of the candied fruit, feeling desolate in her heart.
At nightfall, Helian Ye has not returned to the palace, which means that the war has not really ended yet, or it has ended but has not yet been dealt with. Ye Qing and Helen Nana have just left and went to Longyin Palace to understand the specific situation.
As a descendant of the royal family, she was ordered to stay in her dormitory to rest and not to run around.
But, with the beating outside and the blood flowing like a river, how could she rest?
"Shuang'er, go and guard outside the Longyin Palace. If you see Nana, call her over. I have something to tell her." She dropped the candied fruit and ordered.
Shuang'er took the order and hurried out the door, leaving her alone in the huge bedroom.
The long night passed without any intention of sleeping, I just hoped that Shuang'er could bring Nana over soon so that she could understand the situation outside.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed outside the window. Yang Xi was startled, and cold sweat oozed from his palms for no apparent reason.
The person who was sneaking around in the Prince's Palace might be related to the person who killed Duan Murong. She never believed that Duan Murong was killed by Zhang Xiaocui. However, this matter was originally handed over to He Lianye, and she also promised not to interfere.
And Zhang Dongyu suddenly got angry again, so he was ignored all the time.
Now, could this sneaky person be the ones behind it?
She jumped out from the window sill on the other side and followed the black shadow all the way.
It's not that I haven't thought that this might be a trap, just to lure her out, but since Helian Ye and Nana are not here, she doesn't care and no one can take care of this matter.
The black shadow looked around in the backyard and suddenly headed to the southeast. That was the place where Duan Murong was killed. The dry well lay quietly in the darkness. The black shadow stopped at the edge of the well and stopped moving.
Under the silver moonlight, she was dressed in black gauze, her robes were fluttering in the wind, her figure was light and graceful, and her clothes were swaying in the breeze. She suddenly turned around, and her beautiful face glowed with a strange light under the moonlight, and she looked towards
Looking at where Yang Xi was hiding, she revealed a gentle and sweet smile:
"Your Majesty, since you are here, why don't you show up?"
The smile on her lips was very beautiful, but it could not help but make people's hair stand on end. The black hair was fluttering in the wind, and her face was obviously charming, but at this moment, it suddenly looked cold and terrifying.
Perhaps, what is terrifying is not her as a person, nor her face, nor the confident smile on her face, but the well behind her, the well that swallowed Duan Murong's body.
"It's you!" Yang Xi stepped out of the darkness, with a hint of coldness on her fingertips.
Sure enough, it was her! But, how could she do it when a needle to the neck was fatal?
