The emperor suspected Feng Lengran, so he caught Forsythia to test.

Everything was as Feng Lengran had guessed.

Feng Lenran escaped the emperor's temptation, but Lu Xun was not so easy.

When Xue Qingcheng came crying and begging Feng Lengran to save Lu Xun, Feng Lengran just frowned and waved her hand to tell her that there was nothing she could do.

She had told Xue Qingcheng back then that there would be one death and one injury between Lu Xun and the emperor.

In fact, Xue Qingcheng's choice was very clear. She loved the emperor and was never willing to hurt him. The price she paid was that the remaining people of Luo Ziguo who wanted to support her fell into the hands of the emperor.

Xue Qingcheng knelt at the entrance of Fengyi Palace for two hours. Seeing that Feng Lengran could not come out to help her, she turned around and went to Yangxin Palace to see the emperor.

Xue Qingcheng received the same treatment as in Fengyi Palace. The eunuchs closed the palace door tightly and the emperor refused to come out to see her.

But Lu Xun couldn't wait any longer.

The emperor ordered that the beheading would be carried out at three quarters noon tomorrow. Seeing the sky gradually darkening, Xue Qingcheng became more and more anxious.

In desperation, Xue Qingcheng bit her lower lip and shouted towards the palace door: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you, for the sake of our past friendship, please let Lu Xun go!"

The emperor finally came out to see her.

The emperor was wearing a dragon robe, standing on the high steps, looking down at her. At this moment, he was just a king.

The emperor said coldly: "You are my concubine, how dare you plead for another man? Is it because I indulge you too much?"

Xue Qingcheng looked at the indifferent man in front of her, and suddenly remembered that when they first met, she mistakenly thought that the emperor was a little eunuch. At that time, the emperor would coax her to be happy in a low voice, but now the emperor was no longer the little eunuch.

Sometimes, the emperor would look at her in a daze affectionately, and would call her Ranran affectionately. She felt that the affection in the emperor's eyes did not belong to her, as if he was looking at another woman through her.

She wasn't stupid, it wasn't that she didn't know anything, she just didn't want to believe that the emperor was just using her. She was just unwilling to accept that they were so good in the past, but now he treated her so coldly.

Xue Qingcheng smiled bitterly, "The emperor did indulge me in the past, making me mistakenly think that I can really do whatever I want in front of the emperor. Until now, the emperor cruelly tore away this veil, making me have to face Faced with the cruel truth, Emperor, why are you so cruel? Don't you even have a heart?"

Or does his heart only belong to the Queen?

The emperor roared: "How presumptuous! I have stopped pursuing the assassination of me by the untouchables of Luo Zi for your sake, but Lu Xun is the mastermind. No matter what, I will not let him go!"

"If Lu Xun dies, I will never live alone. Will the emperor still insist on ordering his execution?" Xue Qingcheng gritted her teeth and looked at the emperor, expecting to hear a different answer.

Even if the emperor showed even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction with her, she still felt that her life was worth it.

But Xue Qingcheng had forgotten his identity as emperor, and her words had shaken the majesty of an emperor.

The emperor narrowed his eyes coldly, as if he wanted to see through Xue Qingcheng, "Do you even want to betray me?"

When there was a cheating Concubine Chen Guifei in the palace, it was a great shame and humiliation for the royal family. Even Queen Feng Lengran was not clear with Fu Chengjun.

He is the king!

How can such betrayal be allowed to exist?

The emperor's determination to kill Lu Xun was extremely firm, and Xue Qingcheng's heart was broken at this moment. The emperor would rather she die than agree to let Lu Xun go.

But she loves him so much!

The next day is dawn.

Feng Lengran sat awake all night in Fengyi Palace. She didn't know whether she should save Lu Xun. After all, her relationship with Xue Qingcheng had not reached the point of starting a war with the emperor over her.

But Xue Qingcheng's appearance made her couldn't help but worry. They were all poor people in the harem. Just as Xue Qingcheng sympathized with Jiang Zhaoyi, Feng Lengran had the same pity for Xue Qingcheng.

"Queen, Concubine Xue is here." Feng Lengran was in a daze when Forsythia came over to remind her.

Feng Lengran looked up and saw Xue Qingcheng walking in from outside the palace. The corners of her eyes were a little haggard. She had not slept all night. She probably went to beg the emperor, but Xue Qingcheng's desperate look also showed that the emperor still refused to help her.

"I, my concubine, meet the Queen!" Xue Qingcheng knelt down to her.

Feng Lengran went over to help her up and said, "I already know about your request to the emperor, but he is the emperor and it is impossible for him to let Lu Xun go over and over again. Now you are the emperor's concubine. Praying for a man will only anger the emperor, so I will help you think of other ways to deal with Lu Xun."

"Thank you, Queen, but that's no need." Xue Qingcheng's voice was weak and her eyes were dull.

Feng Lengran didn't think much and just said: "You can think about it."

Not everything in this world goes as she wants, and there are always things that don't go her way. If she can't figure it out, others can't help her.

Feng Lengran persuaded Xue Qingcheng for a while, but Xue Qingcheng no longer asked for love for Lu. Instead, she embroidered some purses for her, which she spent several nights doing.

Feng Lengran liked it very much. Xue Qingcheng only said that she had nothing to do in her spare time. In this lonely harem, the emperor did not come to see her, and she had no friends with whom she could talk. Only Feng Lengran could do it here. Let her stay for a while, so that she can say something personal for a while.

"Empress, thank you for taking care of me since I entered the palace." When Xue Qingcheng was about to leave, she thanked Feng Lengran again and again.

Feng Lengran looked at Xue Qingcheng's leaving back, and vaguely remembered that when he first saw her, she was still the innocent little princess with a sweet smile, but now she was so tortured that she was so haggard, her eyes were dull, her face was There is no longer the smile of the past.

Feng Lengran only felt distressed, half for Xue Qingcheng and half for herself.

It was almost three quarters of noon, and Feng Lengran was restless, always worried that something would happen.

Forsythia went to inquire about the news, but did not come back for a long time.

However, a little palace maid hurriedly ran over. She was from Xue Qingcheng Palace. Feng Lengran stood up from the chair suddenly.

After the palace maid ran over crying, she said: "The Queen, my mother-in-law... she... she can't think about it for a moment. Now she is on the city wall. She wants to jump to the city to commit suicide!"

Sure enough, something went wrong!

Feng Lengran sighed and hated herself for being careless. She didn't even notice Xue Qingcheng's unusual reaction.

When Feng Lengran rushed over, the emperor had already arrived first.

There was a group of palace people surrounding the city, but they didn't dare to go up to pull Xue Qingcheng for fear that they would anger Xue Qingcheng and do something stupid.

The emperor showed a worried look and shouted to Xue Qingcheng from below the city: "Xue Fei! How dare you jump down! I will let you be buried with the people of Luo Zi Kingdom!"

Feng Lengran glared at the emperor fiercely, "Emperor, it's already this time, and you still say such words to irritate her!"

The emperor was also impatient and did not bother to argue with Feng Lengran. He only stared at Xue Qingcheng.

Xue Qingcheng stood on the tower, the wind blowing her skirt, making her look like a butterfly about to spread its wings and fly.

Xue Qingcheng looked back at the city and smiled lightly, just like her name, she smiled all over the city.

Her eyes seemed to be looking at the emperor, but also like looking at Feng Lengran, saying goodbye to her.

Without any unnecessary words, Xue Qingcheng just smiled and jumped off the city wall.

Feng Lengran was so frightened by this scene that she stared blankly at Xue Qingcheng, who was covered in blood after falling.

She thought that Xue Qingcheng must be very painful.

"Allure!"
