"I……"

Xie Congrong opened her lips slightly, and was about to tell the emperor the lie that she had drafted in her heart, when she saw the emperor's expression suddenly change.

He scolded: "You monster, get out!"

"Wow!"

An invisible force quickly pushed Xie Congrong away.

In the blink of an eye, she returned to her own body, woke up, and panted slightly under the big tree.

came back?

But she hasn't said anything yet!

Unexpectedly, even in a dream, the emperor's majesty was so great.

It's just that the use of the dream powder has a cooling time.

Next time, it will be three days later.

Xie Congrong sighed, this opportunity was wasted.

She closed her eyes to sleep, and soon she heard a slight, suppressed, painful groan.

Xie Congrong frowned, quietly opened his eyes and looked over at the sound.

On the cart not far away, the always strong father was biting his hand, trying to block the painful moan that escaped from his throat.

his legs...

Xie Congrong's eye circles turned red instantly, and his vision was blurred by tears.

In her last life, she was immersed in the panic and fear of being exiled, and she never paid close attention to her father who was still seriously injured.

Every time she asked him if the injury hurt, he would say no with a straight face.

She really thought it didn't hurt anymore.

Later, he even accepted the ointment sent by Xie Lian'er and asked his brother to apply the ointment to his father. As a result, his father's wound could not heal for a long time, and he died of infection in less than three days!

It turned out that my father was suffering from illness alone every night!

Xie Congrong slowly turned away and did not get up.

She knew that her father definitely didn't want her to see such an embarrassing side of herself.

The tears couldn't stop flowing.

The next day, the palace.

After the emperor came down from the morning court, he walked toward Zijin Temple with a heavy heart.

Last night's dream made him very concerned.

Zijin Temple was specially built by him in the palace. The Zijin Taoist inside is a famous Taoist who is now guiding him in his practice in the palace.

"What does my dream mean?"

The emperor's face was serious, and his whole body was filled with a sense of solemnity. "Does it mean that someone in the harem will disturb the imperial court?"

Taoist Zijin closed his eyes and calculated for a moment, then congratulated, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."

"Why are you so happy?" The emperor frowned.

"This girl is His Majesty's destined daughter. If we find her, she may be able to solve His Majesty's urgent needs, or she may be able to help His Majesty."

Taoist Zijin said calmly, but the emperor's face suddenly turned ugly, "Oh, when did Taoist Zijin say such stupid things? Did the Queen Mother ask you to say this?"

Taoist Zijin's expression remained calm, "Your Majesty, I never speak nonsense."

The emperor was silent for a while, "Is this true?"

Taoist Zijin nodded, "Your Majesty, you can give it a try."

The emperor sat in silence for a while, then laughed to himself, "Even if I try, I'm afraid I won't be able to find that woman for a while. I only remember her appearance, but I don't even know her name or where she lives. Don’t know.”

What's more, hasn't he been disappointed a few times in the past few years?

Once upon a time, he also hoped that he would have children to take care of him.

But even if the queen mother personally selected those women who were prone to pregnancy among the people to enter the palace, there was still no movement in their bellies.

After that, the emperor stood up and left the Taoist temple.

Because he was feeling a little depressed, the emperor did not immediately go to the Imperial Study Room to review the memorial. Instead, he took a leisurely walk in the palace.

After walking, we arrived at the East Palace.

On a whim, the emperor planned to go in and see his newly adopted son.

At the grand ceremony a month later, he will proclaim the crown prince in public.

It happened that a palace maid was throwing something out, and a scroll slipped from the palace maid's hand.

"Gululu" rolled to the emperor's feet.

The palace maid hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

"It doesn't matter."

The emperor glanced at the scroll casually and walked forward. After taking two steps, he stopped again and said, "Stop!"

He turned around in a stride, grabbed the scroll that the palace maid had picked up, and hurriedly unfolded it.

The moment he saw the face of the woman in the painting clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly.

is her!

The woman in my dream last night!

The emperor looked at the palace maid with sharp eyes, "Who is she!"

The palace maid glanced at it and replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the woman in the painting is the eldest lady of the former war royal palace. Thank you, thank you calmly..."

……

Xie Congrong didn't know that the emperor already knew his identity.

Three days later, at noon, it was time for a meal break.

Xie Congrong ate the coarse-grain pancakes given out by the official, thinking about what to say to the emperor when he fell asleep tonight.

Now there were only two opportunities left, and she couldn't afford to waste them anymore.

After finishing the pancakes, Xie Congrong had almost thought about it.

But there was a loud noise in my ears. It was the sound of officials being insulted and beaten. Because I was far away, I couldn't hear clearly.

Xie Congrong didn't intend to meddle in other people's business.

She had seen countless things like this in her previous life on the road to exile, and knew that she was powerless to change it.

She stood up and wanted to call her brother to see her father, but she didn't see Xie Yanzhi. Instead, the people around her looked at her with strange eyes and whispered something.

Xie Congrong's face changed slightly and her heart sank.

She quickly pushed through the crowd and walked to the front of the crowd of onlookers.

On the big tree in front of everyone, Xie Yanzhi was tied there, and the clothes on his body were ripped out in strips, stained with blood.

But he gritted his teeth and remained silent, with large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

Xie Congrong did not expect that she had clearly told her brother, and his brother also promised her not to cause trouble, but this scene still happened.

But now is not the time to worry about that.

Xie Congrong rushed forward and stood in front of Xie Yanzhi, "Sir, what mistake did my brother make that you want to do this to him?"

The officer who was wielding the whip was called Wang Ping. When he saw this, he stopped and snorted, "He tried to escape."

"Impossible! It's impossible for my brother to leave me and my father alone!" Xie Congrong denied flatly.

"Yes, my sister and father are still here, how could they run away?" Someone also muttered a few words, not believing it.

Wang Ping's face turned red, "No matter how close we are to each other, they will fly away separately when disaster strikes! Moreover, this is what your Xie family said personally."

He pointed to Madam Xie who was standing on the other side of the crowd, "Say what you just said again."

Lady Xie hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when she met Xie Congrong's eyes.

Those eyes were extremely cold, like the ice and snow in winter, which can freeze people to death.

Madam Xie was startled and swallowed back the words she spoke, "I, I don't know."

Excuse!

Now the crowd of onlookers was talking louder.

Xie Congrong even said loudly, "Is it okay to act like this before the matter has been decided? My brother is suffering today, so will it be me tomorrow, or someone else present tomorrow?"

She quickly unified everyone in the exile team with her.

Let them also feel the crisis, so that the officials will be afraid.

Not far away, a black carriage was parked on the roadside.

The emperor was watching this scene quietly.
