After Luo Lianyi was taken away by the emperor, Xiaozhu walked around the Shicui Palace uneasily. Finally, she ran out of the room and flew to another place.
In the dim candlelight, there was a musty smell. He sat facing the wall, his hair was messy and his shoulders were slumped.
"Your Highness." She called softly in a trembling voice.
He didn't move or answer her.
Xiaozhu bit his lip and looked at his back. His heart ached, but he couldn't say anything to comfort him. Perhaps, more pain was still waiting for him behind him. How should he face it?
Both of them were silent, letting time flow slowly. It was unknown how long it had passed before Liu Fan asked her, "Did something happen?"
"Something big happened!" Xiaozhu said. Liu Fan immediately turned around, stood up and walked to the prison railing, asking urgently: "What happened? How is she?"
"The princess was discovered by the emperor to be a daughter, and Tong Fu'an died." Xiaozhu said.
"Be more specific." Liu Fan said.
Xiaozhu told him everything that happened today in detail. When Liu Fan heard that Luo Lianyi almost died at Tong Fuan's poisonous hand, he nervously grasped the railing with both hands, and blue veins popped out on his forehead.
After listening to Xiaozhu's story, he walked around the cell anxiously like a trapped animal.
"Your Highness, please don't worry about the safety of the princess for the time being. I am living in Shicui Palace with her." Xiaozhu comforted him.
Liu Fan stopped and said, "How can I not miss you? Every step in the palace is dangerous, and her poison is about to take effect soon, but I am imprisoned here by my father, and there is nothing I can do!"
"The Emperor is still angry. He will naturally forgive His Highness after a while. However, Your Highness, if Xiaozhu says something you don't like to hear, you really have no choice but to let go of this relationship." Xiaozhu looked at him with worried eyes.
Liu Fan also raised his eyes and looked at her. After a while, he slowly and firmly shook his head: "No, I will never let go!"
"Your Highness!" Xiaozhu was anxious, but didn't know how to persuade him.
"You go back, you have to protect her." Liu Fan said coldly, then slowly walked back to the corner, sat facing the wall, and stopped talking. Xiaozhu stood for a while and left helplessly.
When she returned to Shicui Palace, Luo Lianyi had also returned. She seemed to be restless and was looking at the teapot on the table in a daze.
"Bing'er." In order not to expose her identity, Xiaozhu also changed his name to Bing'er.
"Xiao Zhu, have you gone to see him?" Luo Lianyi suddenly raised her head and asked. She missed him deeply, but she couldn't go to see him, so she could only find out information about him from Xiao Zhu's mouth.
"I'm gone, alas -" Xiaozhu closed the door, sat across from Luo Lianyi, and sighed softly.
Luo Lianyi knew what Xiaozhu was sighing without asking. She lowered her head and remained silent, like a child who had done something wrong.
After a long time, she raised her head and asked Xiaozhu: "Do you want to see an ending between me and the prince?"
Xiaozhu raised his eyes to look at her. After pondering for a while, he nodded gently: "Of course I hope that the prince will be happy, but can you have an ending?"
Luo Lianyi stood up and stood by the window sadly, looking at the dark sky outside the window. After the rain, no stars or moon could be seen, only boundless darkness shrouded the whole world.
"What should I do?" She seemed to ask Xiaozhu, but also seemed to be talking to herself.
Xiaozhu was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "I'll leave it to fate."
Luo Lianyi turned around and the two looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
"The emperor is going to Sanqing Taoist Temple. Let's try our best to find an opportunity for him to pardon the prince." Xiaozhu said.
Luo Lianyi nodded. The two of them read for a while before taking a rest. In order to protect Lianyi, Xiaozhu slept with her in the Nuang Pavilion. They both had their own concerns and were tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Xiaozhu simply sat up and said:
"Seeing as you are not sleepy, why don't we practice together? You can have some self-protection skills and be able to deal with unexpected changes."
"Okay." Luo Lianyi agreed happily. If she hadn't relied on the inner strength that Taoist Master Mu Shi had passed down to her during the day, she would have become an injustice in the clutches of Eunuch Tong.
The two of them kept tossing for half the night. When Xiaozhu saw Luo Lianyi's face looking tired, he stopped and urged her to rest.
The night was already silent, but in Prince Jing's palace, the prince and the princess were still arguing.
"You incredible woman! How dare you do such a thing behind my back!" Liu Huo strode around the room with anger on his face.
"If you don't treat me sincerely, I won't help you!" Maisha is a princess, and she grew up in a barbarian land in southern Xinjiang. She is not used to too many etiquettes, and Liu Huo has always been a you and me.
Liu Huo stopped and glared at her angrily: "If you don't help me, I will make you deprived of my affection for the rest of your life, and make you miserable and lonely for the rest of your life!"
Mayisha walked up to him and looked at him with hatred: "You married me just to get my father's help so that you could succeed in your rebellion?"
Liu Huo sneered, stretched out his hand to lift her chin, and said, "What else? Do you think I will like you?"
Mayisha's eyes opened wide, and two crystal tears rolled down suddenly.
"I won't let my father help you!" she said stubbornly.
"Try it! If you don't help me, I will make your life worse than death!" Liuhuo suddenly pinched her chin, causing Mayisha's face to bleed immediately.
Maisha bit her lips, her eyes narrowed, and her body trembled slightly. Liu Huo pinched her back step by step, and finally pushed her down on the bed, reached out and pulled off her clothes, and looked at her, which was curvy but dark.
body.
"What do you want?" What Mayisha saw on his face was not passion, let alone love. She saw a hint of a sinister smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
"I want to be you." Liu Huo's voice sounded like it was coming from hell, cold and fierce.
Mayisha was inexplicably afraid. Although he was her husband and the couple's affairs were normal, the look on his face was anything but normal. What did he want to do to her? She couldn't help but shrink to the foot of the bed.
"Are you afraid? Aren't you the arrogant and domineering Princess of Nanxing? I never thought that there would be a day when I would fall into hell, hahaha -" Liuhuo laughed wildly and even pulled out a whip from his waist without blinking.
Once, he whipped Maisha hard.
"Devil!" Maisha rolled to avoid and kicked him in the waist.
"You bitch! How dare you fight back!" Liu Huo reached out and grabbed her feet and pushed her forward hard. Maisha's head hit the head of the bed with a "thud".
"Ah -" She covered her head in pain, and a big lump suddenly formed on her head.
Liu Huo showed no mercy at all. He sneered and swung the whip in his hand again. This time Maisha did not avoid it. A shocking whip mark appeared from her chest to her arm.
"You! You beast! I'm going to fight you to the death!" Maisha suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Liu Huo like crazy.
