"How dare you say that I am a mediocre lord? I can behead you immediately. A mere woman is as big as the Dajing Kingdom, so why worry about not having one!"
Rong Changan didn't flinch at all, she wasn't afraid at all, her bravery made Yan Li shy away: "If you are not a mediocre lord, why do you stick to the old rules? Does the emperor always think that the crime of implicating others is justified? Because one person commits a crime, dozens or even dozens of families and hundreds of people are buried together."
"Sometimes, not only the nine clans are implicated, but also the neighbors, and even an alley. Isn't this killing innocent people indiscriminately? If the emperor is a wise lord, he should have abolished this bloodthirsty law long ago, instead of thinking in his heart that it is wrong. , but the surface is still maintained.”
Eunuch Lu arrived just in time and heard Rong Changan's words: "Xue'er, you are crazy, dare to talk to the emperor like this! Offending the king deserves death, do you know that? Hurry up and confess to the emperor!"
Rong Chang'an turned his head and raised his chin. With that posture, the rich cannot be lewd, and the mighty cannot be subdued: "I am not wrong, why should I admit it!"
Eunuch Lu thought to himself: This little girl is really daring. First she angered Zi Yan, and now she angered the emperor. What is she going to do? If it was Li Hai from the previous dynasty, she would have had her head chopped off countless times.
Yan Li shouted: "Bring the knife!"
The inner guard next to him was stunned, wondering if he should pass the knife to Yan Li, after all, "Xue'er" has been very favored recently.
Yan Lilong's eyes were wide open, and his voice was cold: "I said, bring the knife!"
Then a timid inner guard handed over the big knife. A flash passed by, and the tip of the knife was already resting on Rong Changan's neck.
Yan Li's cold eyes were full of murderous intent: "Are you really not afraid of death?"
Anyway, Yan Li has already killed her once, so it doesn't matter if he kills her again.
"Who is not afraid of death? But in the face of death and the truth I insist on, I would rather choose the truth I insist on."
Yan Li: "Is your reasoning stronger than the knife in my hand? This is made of cold iron, even the marble floor in front of the Shangshu's door is vulnerable. Is your neck as hard as a knife?"
Rong Changan glanced coldly at the blade that was glowing with cold light, a strand of black hair fell on the blade and was blown into two pieces.
"Whether my neck is hard or the knife is hard, the emperor can give it a try."
Eunuch Lu: "Your Majesty, Xue'er is ignorant for a while, let's bypass her this time."
Time seemed to have passed for a long time, Yan Li's cold eyes were finally as soft as water.
There was another flash, and the knife sheathed.
"You are the second woman I have ever seen who is not afraid of death!"
The first one naturally refers to Rong Changan.
Rong Changan: "In the eyes of the emperor, it is a great honor for me to be ranked second."
Yan Li scissored his hands behind his back and strode away.
"Tomorrow, you will go to Lenggong to pick up Chuntao. Eunuch Lu, you arrange another group of people to wait on Concubine Zixuan in shifts."
Eunuch Lu was greatly surprised by this decision. Yan Li actually compromised with "Xue'er"!
"Yes, the old slave obeys the order!"
But Rong Changan has a second thing to do!
"Your Majesty, the second person my concubine wants you to let go is Jin Renxin. He has excellent medical skills. If he takes care of Concubine Zixuan, Concubine Zixuan's condition may be under control!"
Eunuch Lu was sweating for Rong Chang'an: Yan Li has already forgiven her offending crime, how could she push forward and ask endlessly
"Tomorrow, you will use my imperial decree to go to the prison and bring Jin Renxin out!"
Eunuch Lu opened his eyes wide, like an old cow: Yan Li actually made such a huge compromise to Xueer, it's really incredible!
"Xue Cairen, you... you have won!"
This is not Rong Changan's victory, it should be like this.
"Thank you, Eunuch Lu, for pleading for me just now."
Yan Li made such a huge concession to "Xue'er", it can be seen that Yan Li loves her very deeply, and his favor in the future is limitless. Such a person who is about to become popular is so close in front of him, how could Eunuch Lu miss the opportunity to curry favor with her!
"Xue'er, you are the first concubine who made the emperor angry but was not punished. It seems that the emperor has a soft spot for you!"
"Xue'er, what method did you use to capture the emperor's heart?"
"Xue'er, if you become rich in the future, don't forget about this old slave!"
On the second day, Rong Chang'an went to the Leng Palace early in the morning. Before Zixuan woke up, Chuntao was burning face water in the courtyard.
"Xue Cairen, you are here!" Chuntao heard the footsteps, and knew it was Xue'er, she lost the firewood, her hands were pitch black, and she came to greet Rong Chang'an.
Rong Changan put the food box in his hand on the stone table in the courtyard: "The steamed buns and steamed buns in the box are a bit cold, put them on the hot water, warm them up before eating."
Chuntao didn't care about the food, she stared at Rong Chang'an expectantly: "Xue'er, what happened to what you told me yesterday?"
Rong Changan sat by the stove and stretched out his hands to keep warm: "What is it?"
Chuntao frowned and pouted: "Xue'er, don't tell me, you forgot to tell the emperor!"
Rong Changan asked inexplicably: "What should I tell the emperor?"
Chuntao's eyes widened: "Didn't you say you wanted to take me out?"
Rong Changan covered his mouth: "Oh my god, I... I forgot! Chuntao, I'm sorry!"
The corners of Chuntao's mouth were hooked just now, but now they drooped down, pulling her face so long that it was almost dragged to the ground: "You don't mean anything! Xue'er, I will ignore you from now on!" As she watched, tears fell like raindrops from the corners of her eyes.
puff!
Rong Changan raised his neck and laughed like a willow tree whirling in the wind.
Chuntao knew that she had been duped, she was angry and happy: "Xue'er, you... you are making fun of me!" She turned her face away, not wanting to pay attention to Rong Changan, but the corners of her drooping mouth curled up again, like a crescent moon.
Rong Changan walked up to her, held her hand, and stopped laughing: "Okay, don't cry! My sister was joking with you, can I not do what I promised you!"
Chuntao snorted: "Do you think it's fun?"
Rong Changan: "Sister, please apologize to you, for the sake of you can leave the cold palace now."
Instead, Chuntao tightly grasped Rong Changan's hand: "You didn't lie to me, the emperor allowed me to leave here?"
Rong Changan brushed a strand of hair from Chuntao's blackened face, thinned it behind her ears, and said sincerely and emotionally, "You don't have to live such a monotonous, lonely and desolate life anymore."
Chuntao couldn't express her gratitude to Rong Changan in words, and hugged her tightly excitedly: "Thank you, I don't know what else to say except thank you!"
It is Rong Changan who should say thank you, thank Chuntao for being locked up in the cold palace, and still firmly believe that Rong Changan is innocent.
"This is what I should do, because I owe you a lot."
Rong Changan's words were very soft and soft, Chuntao didn't hear her, her face was flooded by her own tears.
It wasn't until Zixuan coughed in the room that Chuntao stopped crying.
"If I leave the cold palace, who will take care of Concubine Zixuan in the future?"
Just as he was talking, Xiaoxiao walked in with two court ladies and heard Chuntao's words. Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "Chuntao, we will take turns to take care of the imperial concubine in the future, so you don't have to worry."
To leave Zixuan, Chuntao was really reluctant: "The noble concubine Zixuan is a very good person, but she is sick and can't tell the good from the bad. You should be more careful. If she gets sick, you should speak more kind words to her, you know. ?"
Xiao Xiao: "Understood! If you are worried, write a note and write down the things you want to explain on the paper."
Xiao Xiaoben was joking, but Chuntao took it seriously and thought about it: "You are right, I will ask someone to write a note for you tomorrow."
Chuntao's words made Xiao Xiao and the maids cover their mouths and secretly laugh.
Chuntao was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"
Rong Chang'an took Chuntao's hand: "They're not laughing at anything! Let's go, I'll go see someone with you."
Chuntao couldn't help being taken away by Rong Changan: "Who are you going to see?"
"You will know when you go!"
Xiao Xiao suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
Both Rong Changan and Chuntao stood still, looking back at Xiaoxiao. Xiao Xiao and the maids looked at the two of them, and burst out laughing again.
