Rong Qiaoxin had forgotten her current situation and did not dare to ask the emperor to rescue her. She only said in a trembling voice: "Maybe, maybe my grandfather is ill. No, it is not convenient to go to Beijing now!"
Zhu Sheng looked sideways, stared into Rong Qiaoxin's eyes, and said word by word: "Really? Do you really think so?"
Rong Qiaoxin thought of his grandfather's strong body and the concubine he had just married. . . She nodded lightly: "Grandpa is getting old and will fall ill from time to time. I think this must be the case."
Zhu Sheng sneered: "Don't lie to yourself. I guess you already know what's going on now. It doesn't matter. I know you were not involved in this matter. You are just a poor victim in this conspiracy."
"Sacrifice, sacrifice? No, no, my grandfather and father would not do this to me, no, absolutely not!" Rong Qiaoxin almost collapsed. She couldn't believe what she just heard. She kept thinking Her grandfather and father, who were holding her in the palm of their hands, actually regarded her as a victim and ignored her life. Why? Why does this happen
Xia Yuanqiu flicked his fingers, and Rong Qiaoxin's arms that were bound in the air were finally freed. However, her body collapsed on the ground and she no longer had the strength to get up. Tears rolled down her face. She was no longer pretending to cry to win sympathy. But heartbreaking crying.
At this moment, she knew that she was finished, completely finished. If her grandfather rebelled with his troops, her grandfather and her father would be sinners, and she was also the daughter of a sinner. Not only would she lose the qualification to be a queen, she would even lose the qualification to live. All will be lost.
Zhu Sheng glared at her in disgust, turned around and said to the guards who were following him: "Look at Luanfeng Palace, the queen is not allowed to leave the palace without my permission!" After Zhu Sheng finished speaking, he threw up his sleeves and left, no longer looking at the exhausted girl. Rong Qiao took a new look.
Life is really wonderful, as Han Jiao said right, everything is unpredictable, and the leader of today may not be the leader of tomorrow.
Xia Yuanqiu slowly stood up from his chair, looked at Rong Qiaoxin who was in constant pain, and said word by word: "Crying won't solve any problems. You should think about what you would do if your grandfather rebelled with his troops. To save your life, crying is just the reaction of a weak and incompetent person."
Xia Yuanqiu followed Zhu Yan, and just as he was about to leave the hall, Rong Qiaoxin, who was lying on the ground, suddenly raised his head and shouted towards Xia Yuanqiu's back: "What should I do?"
Xia Yuanqiu stopped and turned to look at her. The face that was originally painted with exquisite makeup had turned into a clown, looking very funny.
The arrogance on Rong Qiaoxin's face disappeared at this moment, and what was left was just helplessness and pity. She was only eighteen years old. She didn't want to die, nor did she want to live in the cold palace all her life.
"Please tell me, what should I do?" Rong Qiao begged Xia Yuanqiu.
Xia Yuanqiu walked towards her step by step, walked to her side, squatted down slowly, looked into her eyes at close range, and said word by word: "If you want to survive, you must give something of equal value in exchange. You must pay attention." Think about it, what do you have in exchange?”
Rong Qiaoxin said hurriedly: "When I got married, I was willing to put all the dowry I brought into the national treasury. Is this enough?"
Xia Yuanqiu laughed: "Do you think that the Xiliang royal family would send you something like this?"
Rong Qiaoxin couldn't turn his head around, stared at Xia Yuanqiu and said, "What on earth do you mean? Please explain clearly!"
Zhu Yan sighed: "If a person like her is so thoughtful, would she be so foolish as to marry and become the queen of this country?"
