The maid poured hot water into the bucket and sprinkled the flower petals. When everything was ready, they bowed and left.
Su Rui took off her blood-stained dress and stepped into the barrel. She scooped out the water with her jade hands, only to find that her body was as smooth as gelatin with no scars.
There is no wound in the heart from the arrow, and there are no scars large or small left over the past three years.
All traces of sin have disappeared completely.
God finally took pity on her, and the suffering ended, bringing new hope. Su Rui covered her face with her hands and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Great, great...
Instantly calming down, she slowly put down her hands and raised her eyes, her eyes firm. She must seize this opportunity...
Su Rui put on a blue dress and dressed up.
She returned to the royal study, knelt down and saluted: "Thank you for your help."
Zhu Qinghong's lips curled up slightly. Smart people are indeed lovable. She raised her hand slightly: "Get up. Although your injury has healed, the poison has not been cured yet."
Su Rui stood up and stood aside with lowered eyebrows.
When Zhu Qinghong was about to speak, the soldiers sent word from outside: "The officials are here."
"Let them come in." Zhu Qinghong knew very well that people never shed tears before seeing the coffin, and officials are not so easy to give in.
She is not worried. If she refuses to accept it now, she will kneel down and beg in the future. The protection is broken, and the demons will attack the city sooner or later. Will they be proud then?
Four elderly officials walked into the room and saw Zhu Qinghong sitting behind the case, frowning.
One of them said: "Who are you? How can you sit in the seat of the emperor of our country. I advise you to come down quickly, or I will ask the soldiers to drag you out. Someone, someone."
Several soldiers came in and saw Zhu Qinghong looking embarrassed. The official pointed at her and yelled: "Drag her down!"
The soldiers lowered their heads and did not dare to move, freezing in place.
Zhu Qinghong smiled and waved his hand gently: "Step back."
If they were granted amnesty, they would leave immediately.
The official's frown deepened, and the man who called the soldiers looked particularly unhappy.
"I don't like nonsense." Zhu Qinghong's attitude was gentle, "The emperor is dead and the prince is dying. If you surrender..."
"Delusion!" The official who called the soldiers was filled with indignation, "A woman of unknown origin intends to usurp the throne. Daydreaming! Even if you can control the palace, the people in the world will not recognize it. Stop doing useless work and go home to embroider.
."
Seeing that the other officials did not refute, Zhu Qinghong understood their attitude. In this way, it would be useless to talk more.
"I know what you are thinking. Go down." She was too lazy to pay attention to stubborn people.
What else does the official want to say?
"I said, get down!" Zhu Qinghong's eyes were fierce and murderous.
The officials were frightened and did not dare to speak anymore.
The four officials left angrily.
Seeing the opportunity, Su Rui quickly expressed her loyalty: "If you want to sit on the throne, girl, I am willing to help you."
Zhu Qinghong stood up and walked to Su Rui: "What do I want from the throne? You are the one who should sit on the throne."
Su Rui looked up, in disbelief.
Zhu Qinghong patted her shoulder: "Don't worry. There will always be a time when they come to beg me."
At this time, a servant hurried in.
Su Rui hurriedly went up to him and asked, "Attendant Gao, what's the emergency?"
Attendant Gao was the steward in charge of all the maids and servants in the palace, and he was also the person who had spoken out to help Su Rui outside the palace.
He frowned and saluted: "Princess, there is news from the Crown Prince's Mansion. The Crown Princess is not well. Please go and have a look."
"Sister Ling?" Su Rui was anxious and started to go out. Zhu Qinghong held her and raised his hand to summon a space passage.
"Let's go." Zhu Qinghong advanced.
Su Rui bit her lip and followed immediately. Attendant Gao looked curiously and was startled when the passage disappeared.
Prince's Mansion.
A space passage appeared and the two people walked out.
Su Rui hurriedly went to the princess's residence. Along the way, the maids and servants knelt down to salute.
The grandmother and maid who usually served were weeping silently outside the house. Su Rui's heart tightened when she saw it, and she immediately entered the house.
On the bed lay the sickly Crown Princess.
Her lifeless eyes lit up the moment she saw Su Rui.
The princess struggled to get up.
Su Rui hurriedly stepped forward to support her with one hand and held her hand with the other: "Sister Ling, why are you so sick?"
With wet eyes, the Crown Princess leaned against Su Rui and stretched out her hand to touch her face: "Rui'er, it's great that you're okay."
"I'll call the doctor. Sister Ling, you will be fine." Su Rui wanted to leave, but was caught by the Crown Princess.
She shook her head sadly: "Rui'er, no one can save a person who is about to die. Seeing that you are safe, I can die with peace of mind."
Su Rui doesn't want to believe it.
She turned to look at Zhu Qinghong, her eyes pleading.
Zhu Qinghong lowered his eyes, sighed and shook his head.
The Crown Princess's oil was exhausted, and now she could only hang with one breath. Tears fell from Su Rui's eyes, and she held the Crown Princess's hand tightly.
Coughing in pain, the princess coughed up blood.
Su Rui hurriedly took out the handkerchief and wiped it.
The princess looked at her with gentle eyes.
The children who were once small have grown up.
The Crown Princess shed tears. Her eyes were dark, as if she were looking far away: "After I die, I don't want to be buried with him. He is not my Crown Prince brother. My Crown Prince brother has died long ago..." p>
When I was young, I fell in love at first sight.
The prince is like orchid and jade tree, and the princess is gentle and graceful.
They get married and envy others.
But people's hearts can change.
That night when the prince returned home, he was in a very bad state. The princess comforted him gently, and after some guidance, she finally found out the truth.
Their imperial uncle gained the power to protect the country. His desire continued to grow, and he eventually reached out his disgusting hand to the queen.
For the sake of the country and the people, they could not refuse. The queen understood the righteousness and voluntarily sacrificed herself to feed the tiger.
That night the prince was in grief, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain until dawn. The prince was also in pain, thinking of the queen and the future of the country.
The prince became more and more silent day by day, and he didn't know when he stopped talking to her.
Until the emperor's uncle came to the house.
The prince turned away without any explanation.
Compared with the physical pain, the princess was more saddened by the prince's betrayal.
It was obvious that he had been in pain, but he was slowly sinking.
Falling into a quagmire and unable to climb out.
Since then, my appearance and heart have changed.
My former relatives have become three evil spirits.
She dragged her broken body with a fake smile and flattered her, and together with the queen, she supported Su Rui's peace for several years.
Until the queen died, until the children they cared for were also brutally attacked. The princess beat and kicked the prince, crying.

The prince had long lost his gentleness and was extremely rough with her. She braced herself, wanting to share some of the burden for Su Rui, just a little...
But now she can't hold on any longer...
The princess burst into tears. Who will protect her little princess?
"Sister Ling, it's okay." Su Rui held her in her arms and comforted her, "I'll be fine. It'll be fine..."
The Crown Princess raised her face and looked deeply at Su Rui. The child she watched grow up had suffered too much.
Suddenly, the princess coughed violently and spit out a large mouthful of blood. The blood spattered on the bed, like embroidered camellias.
"Rui'er," the Crown Princess held Su Rui's hand tightly, "live... well. You must... be happy..."
"Sister Ling, I am very happy." Su Rui hugged her, "I will be even happier in the future. You don't have to worry about me."
"That's it...okay..." The Crown Princess leaned on Su Rui's shoulder, with a smile on her lips and her eyes slowly closed.
Su Rui suppressed her crying, and the hands holding her trembled slightly. Queen Mother, Sister Ling, she will not suffer anymore, she will live well.
From then on, she not only lived for herself, but also for the people who died to protect her. Losing it hurts, more painful than any other pain...
After Su Rui's tears dried up, Zhu Qinghong suggested: "The current situation is special and it is not suitable for a grand burial. If you have no objection, I can cremate her. You can keep her ashes or bury her in the soil. You don't want her to die.
Was the body still bitten?"
Wiping away the tears on her face, Su Rui gently put the princess down: "Thank you, dear girl, cremate her for me."
Zhu Qinghong pulled Su Rui away and fired a ball of fire. The fire burned the princess's body but did not burn the surrounding objects.
In the fierce flames, the princess disappeared little by little.
Su Rui's hands clenched her heart, and her last trace of kindness to this country disappeared.
The flames burned quickly, and soon there was only a handful of ashes left on the bed. Zhu Qinghong took out an urn and handed it over.
Su Rui took the urn and carefully collected the ashes. After collecting the ashes, they returned to the palace through the space passage.
After bowing and retreating, Su Rui hugged the urn and left the imperial study.
Attendant Gao was waiting outside and bowed his head: "The prince's condition is very bad."
"Take me to see him." Su Rui's eyes were terrifyingly calm, "Kill my brothers and sisters quickly. No one will be spared."
The high attendant took the order and summoned a servant.
The servant led Su Rui to see the prince. Attendant Gao killed the princes non-stop.
The servant salutes and stands guard outside the door.
Su Rui walked into the palace and saw the dying prince on the bed. The prince was covered in blood and moaning in pain.
The incident happened suddenly and the situation changed.
The servants carried him but did not serve him. The prince was like a discarded rag, no one cared about him.
Su Rui stood beside the bed, looking down at the prince: "Sister Ling has gone. She left a message before she died that she didn't want to be buried with you."
His body stiffened, and the prince tremblingly stretched out his hand.
He tried his best but was speechless.
Ling'er, his Ling'er...
Every frown and smile seemed to be in front of him, the woman he loved. At first, she was arrogant to the emperor's uncle, wanting to protect his beloved wife and sister.
No matter what the emperor's uncle wants, he and his father must agree. Who asked God to give the emperor's uncle strength? The power they don't have.
Day after day, they mixed with the emperor's uncle and gradually became a gang.
They hurt their mother, the crown princess, and their beloved sister.
At first, some people said that what they did was wrong, and one after another their heads fell to the ground without anyone stopping them.
They have become absolute and can do anything.
They can do anything... the common people will stand by them no matter what they do...
There was a line of tears in the corners of the prince's eyes.
Who will tell them, tell them what to do? If you don’t compromise, you will face the demons attacking the city. If you compromise, you will lose everything.
Did they protect the country? Did they protect their families? Do they still have families...
"Why are you and your father so cowardly?" Su Rui clutched the urn tightly, "Satisfying his demands again and again will only make the desire stronger. Even if the demon attacks the city, we will fight side by side and die without regrets. But you chose to protect the
In the name of hurting the people around you."
A country cannot be a country, a family cannot be a family, and everything is in chaos.
The prince was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood.
They were wrong...
"You just wait here to die." Su Rui turned around and left without looking back.
Slowly endure it and feel the pain of dying...
Don't go...
The prince turned over hard and fell off the bed.
He stretched out his hand forward, as if seeing the woman with a beautiful smile...
