Just as the relationship between women changed, so did the court.
The general who fought with foreigners on the border suffered a defeat and suffered a lot of casualties. He belonged to the prince's camp, and there was an immediate quarrel in the court. The second prince and his party took the opportunity to add insult to injury, and they enjoyed a good time. During this period, Mu Xiaoxi only met the prince once. It happened that Concubine Li was ill and asked someone to come to the palace to serve her. She entered the palace with Su Anran and bumped into the prince while walking in the imperial garden.
The smile on his lips was still there, seemingly unaffected by the court, and he only had a few brief conversations with Su Anran. From the beginning to the end, he never had eye contact with her.
The format quickly changed.
Seeing that the prince was weak, someone actually accused the second prince of collaborating with the enemy and treason. In order to attack the prince, the information was revealed to people of a foreign race. The nature of this matter was just rumors. Unexpectedly, the concubine in the second prince's house actually presented a wooden hairpin with a mechanism inside. It could be opened by twisting and the letters hidden in it could be taken out. The paper is light and thin, and the handwriting on it is undoubtedly written by the second prince.
The Holy One was furious.
In the Second Prince's Mansion, the tea cup was suddenly smashed to the ground and shattered into pieces. Zhao Yuanya's eyes were red with a different kind of evil look. Such eyes fell on Mu Xiaoxi, "Are you from the prince?"
Mu Xiaoxi put the fragments on the tray and whispered like the most ordinary concubine: "Why is Your Highness so angry? Didn't you already know that I had ulterior motives?"
Zhao Yuanya couldn't help but sneered, "Do you think you can escape the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason, or can Zhao Yuanlang save you? You are just a pawn used by him, and you cannot escape death."
"It is a great honor to be buried with His Highness."
"What about An Ran?" Zhao Yuanya asked coldly, "Is it because of the prince's order that you protect her like this?"
Mu Xiaoxi couldn't answer for a moment, he said: "If she knew that you were the one who sent her to die, I don't know how she would feel."
When Zhao Yuanya was talking, Mu Xiaoxi noticed the extra breath behind him, but he didn't look back. After he finished speaking, she turned around and saw Su Anran standing outside the door, having heard the conversation between the two.
After all, the second prince is the bloodline of the Holy Emperor. Just one letter cannot be used as absolute evidence and must go through multiple investigations. Therefore, everyone in the second prince's residence was temporarily imprisoned, pending further interrogation. Zhao Yuanya was right. Although Mu Xiaoxi provided evidence, her identity was just an insignificant concubine. The second prince was imprisoned. She had no one to support her. There was no amnesty or extrajudicial mercy. She also needed to face scrutiny. .
The female family members were all thrown into prison and were in a state of panic all day long, either crying or complaining about injustice. Only Mu Xiaoxi and Su Anran remained calm. As a time-travel heroine, Su Anran has excellent psychological quality, which makes her special in such a predicament. The two happened to be locked together, but compared to the previous intimacy, Su Anran's attitude became much colder.
Su Anran never thought that Mu Xiaoxi would have an ulterior motive for approaching her. To her, Mu Xiaoxi is different from Princess Yongkang. Although Princess Yongkang is a playmate, due to her high status, no matter how friendly she is, the other party will still show a look of disdain when they get along with her, and she cannot fully talk to her. . But it was different with Mu Xiaoxi. She saved her life and established a trustworthy relationship invisibly.
The two get along very well with each other. Mu Xiaoxi cooperates with her and claims that he never uses the word "slave". She often forgets the identity of the other person. He is the person she feels most comfortable with since she came here.
Now that I think about it, who would save a stranger for no reason? This is ancient times with distinct classes, not modern times.
There was a gap in the two people's hearts. Even though it was a time of shared adversity, Su Anran could not force herself to show favor to the other person. Mu Xiaoxi, however, was as usual, always asking for her opinion when making bed and serving meals, as if they were not living in prison, but still living in the second prince's house.
Also, she was the prince's spy, so she naturally knew what would happen and was mentally prepared.
In just one month, she suffered successive "betrayals" from Princess Yongkang and Mu Xiaoxi, and she felt at a loss. She hugged her knees and leaned against the prison wall, wanting to go home more than ever.
Suddenly, there was the smell of others approaching, but perhaps considering her repulsive attitude, she did not break the safe distance like before, and only stopped at a relatively distant position.
"Don't worry, sister, His Highness will keep you safe," she said.
Su Anran raised his head to look at her. There was concern in the other person's eyes. When he saw her looking at each other, he lowered his eyes slightly. She was angry and stabbed her bluntly: "Your Highness, which Highness are you talking about?"
Mu Xiaoxi's voice was as soft as ever, "Sister, you should know that no matter who your highness is, I hope you are safe."
"... What about you?" Su Anran couldn't help but ask, "Why did you do this?"
"Sister An Ran wants a reason, and of course she has a reason. It's just that her family is poor, and her life in the palace is like walking on thin ice. There are so many people available in the palace, and most of them are people the master despises. We can be selected, that is With one more life, everything can be more tolerant and there is room for mercy.”
"Then it's worth risking your life—"
"It's not worth it." She smiled, "Don't you understand, sister? People only consider whether it's worth it when they have a choice."
These words were like a hammer hitting Su Anran's heart. She thought about her own time travel, which was for no reason and no choice. When she came, she was calm and reassured herself that it was just a journey through time. She could see the face of the Holy God and fall in love with the prince. It sounded like this trip was very worthwhile.
But if she had the chance to choose, would she choose to travel through time
She was lost in thought when another voice came to her ear: "... But these reasons have nothing to do with my sister. In any case, I was the one who implicated my sister."
Su Anran shook her head and unknowingly figured out that this matter had nothing to do with her, but did it have something to do with Mu Xiaoxi
There were countless victims in the struggle for imperial power. She and Mu Xiaoxi were just the stars between the crown prince and the second prince, not worth mentioning.
She was silent for a long time, and then said: "As of now, I don't know which of your words is trustworthy and which is not trustworthy. Let me ask you frankly, are you dating me only because of the prince's order?"
Mu Xiaoxi looked into Su Anran's eyes and said, "He didn't ask me to protect you."
Su Anran was slightly startled.
"He has never given such an order. Before I entered the government, he didn't even know that I existed."
"and you… "
There was a "clang" sound from the railing, and the jailer outside the railing brought the food. The second prince was not convicted for a day, and the people in the prison did not dare to neglect their family members. In addition, the room they lived in was taken care of, and the food was pretty good. Even the bowls were new, not as greasy as in movies and TV shows. The cracked bowl has been used by thousands of people.
She brought it to Su Anran and said, "Sister, don't think too bad of me, and don't think too good of me. He did not give the order, but if I protect you, it will be more conducive to getting closer to the second prince."
This is natural. Su Anran wouldn't even think of this, but she still risked half her life to save her. Would anyone do this for such a roundabout plan
If not for her, then for—
"You... like Zhao Yuanlang very much?"
Mu Xiaoxi shook his head and gave her a pair of chopsticks. However, when she picked up the meat in the bowl, she suddenly realized something was wrong and immediately pressed down Su Anran's chopsticks with her chopsticks.
She looked serious, and Su Anran also became nervous: "Is there a problem?" She thought of Mu Xiaoxi's identity as an eyeliner, and he might have been trained in this aspect, "Could it be poisonous..."
"Yeah. I don't know what kind of poison it is, but there's something wrong with the food."
Su Anran took a breath, not daring to imagine what would happen to her after eating these meals if she was not here. Just thinking about it made her feel sick in her stomach. She murmured: "But who would want to kill us?"
She immediately ruled out the prince. Put aside the emotional factors and think rationally, it is impossible for Zhao Yuanlang to kill the female family members. Not to mention whether he has compassion for others, it is at the cusp of the crisis. The second prince has not yet been convicted. If they are killed and silenced, then the Holy Emperor will probably doubt this. Is there a mastermind behind a series of events? For him, it was better not to move quietly now. He took ten thousand steps back and said that even if he wanted to kill, he would still kill the second prince. That was the key figure.
But other than that, would anyone have murderous intentions towards them? When it comes to human life, apart from the impact of political struggles in court, what other conflicts can go as deep as this
Maybe it's not the prince himself, but maybe one of the prince's subordinates acting privately? This is how it is played on TV, for example, knowing that the prince likes her, he is worried that she will cause trouble, and takes this opportunity to kill her to silence her...
Su Anran shook his head. This idea was too pretentious.
"What are you laughing at, sister?"
Su Anran touched the corner of her mouth and coughed lightly: "I remembered something funny." After some mental activities, she had adjusted and was no longer shrouded in the shadow of death.
Immediately, she heard the girl next to her say: "Maybe it's my enemy, or my sister's enemy? If my sister doesn't have a deadly grudge, she's coming for me. I guess I stood out this time and attracted others' attention. ,"
Thinking about it from another angle, since they are not implicated, it is aimed at them themselves.
What she said made sense, but Su Anran suddenly thought of Princess Yongkang. In terms of status, the other party can definitely do such a thing, but the other party should have no motive. Even if the person who comes is not good, they will not go to the point of life and death, right
But once this idea was implanted in my mind, I couldn't get it out of my mind.
As night approached, the sun gradually turned a little red in the sky, and Mu Xiaoxi reminded her: "Sister, you'd better be more alert."
Isn't just poisoning enough
Su Anran was dubious, and her nerves were on high alert, but since she came from ancient times, she had been well-dressed and well-fed, and her body had not been trained. Now she couldn't eat, she was tired and hungry, and she slowly relaxed. Until I heard "clang" again.
"who?!"
"Collect the bowl." The visitor said impatiently.
It's the jailer.
What caught the eye was his official robe. Looking up, only half of his face was exposed, and the rest was hidden in the shadows.
Su Anran exhaled. Mu Xiaoxi just happened to pack up the rice bowls and put them aside. The food inside had been poured into the bucket, leaving only the empty bowls. She handed the tableware out through the gap.
At this moment, she was suddenly thrown away by a force coming from the back side!
The tableware fell to the ground with a loud shattering sound, and almost the next moment, she vaguely heard a "bang"!
This voice…
Across the railing, it was difficult to kill anyone with swords, guns, and halberds. She was just about to tell Xiaoxi to move away from the railing when her eyes suddenly fell on the "jailer"'s hand. In his hand was a dark hole that was difficult to see under the dim light. .
It was pointed right at her.
"how come-"
Her voice stopped abruptly.
Yongkang, Yongkang sent people to kill her!
Her mind was blank and her body was stiff. There was no way to hide in such a confined space, and she could only watch helplessly as the "jailer"'s finger made a slight hooking motion.
At this moment, a figure stood in front of her, and the next second gunfire rang out again, and the figure fell down.
"Creek!"
At this time, the commotion caused by this prison room attracted the real jailer. Seeing that the situation was bad, the fake jailer immediately retreated without having time to fire another shot. Several drunk jailers now sobered up and chased him out.
Mu Xiaoxi fell to the wet and cold ground. He was shot in the waist and abdomen, and his clothes were soaked in red.
"Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, how are you..." Big tears fell from Su Anran's eyes. She banged on the iron door, but no one responded, so she could only go back to see Mu Xiaoxi. She didn't know how to deal with the gunshot wound. The bullet penetrated deeply into Mu Xiaoxi's abdomen. All she could do was tear off her own clothes to stop the bleeding.
But the bandaging technique was wrong and the bleeding couldn't be stopped.
Mu Xiaoxi held down her shaking hand, "Sister, there are some things I haven't said to my sister yet..."
"you say."
"That letter was... submitted by me myself..."
Su Anran looked at her blankly, "What?"
"Prince, you didn't tell me that there was a letter inside... I discovered the trap myself..." The massive blood loss made her feel cold all over, and she said in a weak voice, "He said it was a... gift... for me..."
Su Anran's pupils shrank suddenly. In other words, Zhao Yuanlang not only failed to tell her what was hidden here, but also lied to her. Why
She recalled that night, she was leaning on Mu Xiaoxi's shoulder, and suddenly she heard her confess to her, "I like the prince," with the shyness and shyness of confessing her feelings for the first time.
Zhao Yuanlang took advantage of her feelings.
Because it was given by him, Mu Xiaoxi, who likes him, will definitely wear this hairpin at all times until one day, she steps into the trap he has set for her and will
She only felt that her throat was blocked by a ball of cotton wool, "You found out, why didn't you throw away the hairpin?!" Is their relationship so humble just because they like him
The girl was incredibly beautiful, her pale face was as fragile as a flower on the roadside, and she said, "Sister, I didn't... didn't choose..."
The words Su Anran was about to say were blocked, and she choked out.
The emotions she had suppressed deep in her heart since time travel burst out, and she suddenly felt her hatred for this world. She adjusted her heart time and time again and looked at everything around her optimistically, just to make herself live a better life.
She can't change the environment, she can only change herself.
"I have no choice, but sister does..." Mu Xiaoxi gently grabbed the corner of her clothes, "Sister, do you want to... leave this place..."
"I..." When Su Anran spoke, she suddenly noticed that her pupils were gradually dilating, and immediately grabbed her hand and shouted: "No matter what, I will not leave by death, Xiaoxi! You wait a little longer, it will be very soon." Someone will be here soon..."
Mu Xiaoxi's voice had completely dropped to the point of being inaudible, "The day my sister wants to leave... I'll come... pick you up..."
"Creek!"
In the prison, the woman's loud cries resounded, causing Zhao Yuanlang to pause slightly as he entered the prison. He was dressed in rich clothes and robes, which was incompatible with this dirty place. The long black official boots fell into the prison room where Su Anran was located. He saw Mu Xiaoxi's body and Su Anran holding her and crying loudly.
"I'm late."
he whispered.
Mu Xiaoxi is just an insignificant role in his plan. Without her, there will be someone else who can take her place. Although her initiative to hand over the hairpin exceeded his expectations, it did not break his plan, nor was it enough to move him.
But looking at her dead appearance, for some reason, he vaguely remembered her determination and cruelty when she bit off the eldest maid's finger when they first met, and the bloody smile on her lips.
"It's Princess Yongkang."
Su Anran stood up, almost threw herself into his arms, and tightened her grip on his clothes. She said angrily: "If you still have any conscience, go kill her and avenge Xiaoxi!"
In the palace, Princess Yongkang was drinking water absentmindedly. When someone from the palace walked in quickly, she pushed away the maid serving beside her.
"How about it?"
The palace man shook his head and said: "It didn't work. But the Mu family next to Concubine Su is dead."
Princess Yongkang frowned, "How could..." She frowned not because Su Anran was not dead, but because of Mu Xiaoxi.
The death of the female anchor is not real death, but the character in the virtual world cannot be resurrected after death, which has different meanings for the audience in the live broadcast room. And ordering someone to kill the female anchor was just a means for her to compete, but actually killing a non-contestant, even a character in the virtual world, made her feel very uncomfortable.
"I said it was to protect Concubine Su, so I blocked it for Concubine Su."
"I see..." Princess Yongkang admired Su Anran's methods, she said, "She is loyal."
She originally had doubts about which of the two the female anchor was, but her doubts were not completely eliminated and she wanted to make further confirmation. But now that Mu Xiaoxi is dead, there is no doubt that Su Anran is the female anchor. Mu Xiaoxi took a bullet and died for Su Anran. If the time is coming to an end, then she may have deliberately created a tragic ending. However, now that the schedule is just over halfway, which player will be satisfied with the status quo and withdraw from the competition
The female anchor's data had a sharp increase in the past two days. It may be because she won a stage victory, and everyone in the live broadcast room thought she had been deceived. The female anchor's current statistics are indeed higher than hers, but the gap has not opened up too much. If she were the opponent, she would never commit suicide in order to make her opponent believe that Su Anran was her.
This time at least she knew who her opponent was, so her efforts were not in vain.
The palace man asked: "Will His Royal Highness find out..."
"It's okay." She put the teacup back on the table, "The prince himself can't protect himself and can't control me."
The palace people were surprised.
Now that the second prince has been imprisoned in a cell, and it is time to sing, why would the princess say that the prince himself cannot be protected
Princess Yongkang said no more, only waved her hand to signal him to retreat.
In the original work, the prince is the supporting actor and the second prince is the real protagonist. The second prince's frustration is only temporary, so she feels that this is the best time. If it was a normal banquet, Su Anran would definitely be on guard against her, but in prison, there was no chance even if she wanted to be on guard.
At this time, barrage flashed rapidly in her live broadcast room.
[Holy shit, oh shit, is Xihu really going to kill that anchor? I originally thought the ancient game was quite boring, but suddenly it became a bit powerful. ]
[Ah, this is the meaning of ancient background! The anchor can be killed! ]
[This idea is great. If you kill the opponent, you can eliminate the opponent in advance. The anchor's methods are ruthless! ]
It’s not that no one is humanitarian and feels uncomfortable because of Mu Xiaoxi’s death, but most people are happy to hear about this trend. I am used to seeing female anchors who are compassionate and emotionally entangled, but suddenly there is an anchor who comes straight to the point, which is particularly touching.
Of course, the main reason is that they know that these are all fake and the death of the anchor is not a real death, so they can watch it so happily.
The audience's response far exceeded Yao Xihu's expectations, and it also made her determined to formulate a new plan beyond the emotional line.
At the same time, in another live broadcast room, Abe's audience was in a completely different scene.
[ died? ]
[ died? ! ]
[Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... ]
[This barrage looks very familiar to me. I remember during the rematch, Beibei killed himself as soon as he came up, and then pulled back the timeline. ]
[Please read the rules clearly! ! The promotion competition is for three people to compete together. It is absolutely impossible to call back the timeline. If you die, you are really dead. ]
[The plot is particularly touching, but I can’t help but wonder, does Beibei want to quit the competition by doing this? ! ! ]
[Which of you still remembers? Beibei said that day that she wanted to go somewhere else to play...]
[Remember, didn’t we say prison? ]
At this time, they discovered that their lovely anchor Abe had spent most of the bounty money to buy an item from the mall, and had no intention of stopping. While shopping, she explained to everyone to avoid difficulties: "There is a rule in the live broadcast room. If a character dies, the character will be invalidated."
[ Eh? ]
"The character is invalidated, not the game is over."
That’s what it says, but without characters, how can we compete? And this may just be unclear in the text. What if the character is invalidated and the game is over
The audience was nervous for her, fearing that it was not what she said.
The anchors in the other two live broadcast rooms found that Aibe's live broadcast data suddenly cleared when they were conducting daily live broadcasts.
The author has something to say: The two updates will be published together.
I have kept everyone waiting for a long time. The latest update is not stable. In order to thank the little angels who are still willing to follow the article, within 24 hours, all the little angels who leave a message for this chapter will be given a small red envelope.
