Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Chapter 462 Surrender

But Leng Ruqing's situation cannot be left alone.

Just as he was hesitating, Qin Chengxuan came out, with a solemn look on his handsome face.

"Queen, I captured a man from outside the East Palace. He said he wanted to see you."

"Who?"

"The former guard beside Prince Rong, He Xiao."

Shen Ruoxi thought for a moment and had a vague impression.

"What does he want from me?"

"I don't know." Qin Chengxuan asked, "Do you want to see me?"

After thinking about it, Shen Ruoxi nodded, then walked out holding up her skirt.

In front of the East Palace, He Xiao was tied and kneeling on the ground.

Shen Ruoxi walked up to him, her voice was calm but dignified.

"You want to see me?"

"See the Crown Prince...the Queen!"

He Xiao hesitated for a moment and then changed his words.

Shen Ruoxi smiled.

"If Prince Rui knew you called me that, he would definitely not spare you."

Calling her queen is equivalent to acknowledging that Murong Heng is an emperor?

He Xiao lowered his head.

"Queen, I heard that there was a fire in the Changqiu Palace, and His Royal Highness Prince Rong also fell into the flames. I want to know how the prince is doing now."

"The main hall of Changqiu Palace is already in ruins. The palace people are searching now, but Prince Rong and Queen Mother..."

Shen Ruoxi didn't say any more, her meaning was clear.

He Xiao's figure stiffened, as if he was holding back some sadness.

Qin Chengxuan put the sword against his neck.

"Your master is dead, what is your choice now?"

He Xiao was silent for a while, and his eyes suddenly fell on the tiger head hat in Shen Ruoxi's hand.

He raised his head slightly.

"Princess Rui...how is she?"

"Ruqing's situation is not very good. She wants to see Prince Rui, but she's afraid she won't be able to do so now."

"I am willing to persuade Prince Rui..."

Shen Ruoxi glanced at him.

"At this moment, do you think Murong Yao will listen to you?"

"I want to try..."

He Xiao thought for a while: "Prince Rui and Princess Rui... are a little more special than others..."

Halfway through the words, he also felt a little ridiculous.

Murong Yao was indeed more interested in Leng Ruqing than others.

But compared to his great cause, it seems insignificant.

His parents and his own flesh and blood can all plot against him.

Can a mere Leng Ruqing really sway him in the slightest?

Shen Ruoxi also saw his hesitation.

She said slowly.

"If you really surrender, show your sincerity. After following Prince Rong for so long, you should know a lot of inside information, right?"

He Xiao nodded slowly.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi ordered: "Take him to see Ah Heng."

Qin Chengxuan signaled to the people around him to take him away.

Shen Ruoxi turned around and entered the palace.

Murong Mingyue was lying in front of the bed, staring at Leng Ruqing on the bed with her eyes wide open.

Shen Ruoxi came closer and saw Leng Ruqing holding Murong Mingyue's little hand.

She didn't know when she had completely woken up, and her expression seemed to be calmer.

Nie Yulan came over and pulled Murong Mingyue away.

"Mingyue, don't disturb the Queen, she has business to attend to."

Murong Mingyue retreated obediently.

Shen Ruoxi stepped forward and sat beside the bed.

Leng Ruqing's face was as white as paper, as if it would break if touched.

I remember back then, she was such a bright red and vibrant woman.

Leng Ruqing looked at Murong Mingyue's leaving figure and took a long time to look away.

"Princess Mingyue is so cute."

"Yes." Shen Ruoxi sat beside her, "Are you feeling better?"

Leng Ruqing didn't seem to hear it.

Just whispered.

"If my child was still alive, it would probably be a daughter."

"how do you know?"

"It's just a gut feeling."

She gave a wry smile: "But secretly, I prefer it to be a boy. Maybe my daughter felt that I didn't want her, so she left me..."

Shen Ruoxi touched her forehead.

"Stop imagining things, it was an accident."

"Is it really an accident?"

There was a dim light in Leng Ruqing's eyes: "Is Murong Yao unwilling to come over?"

"I've sent someone over to convey your message to Prince Rui, but there's no news yet."

"That's all."

Leng Ruqing closed her eyes slightly: "I'm just deceiving myself. He has been coveting the throne for so many years, how could he give up just because of my words..."

"Ruoxi, I actually want to ask him personally...whether the matter of my miscarriage was his handiwork."

"Murong Yao said that Murong Heng instigated Lin Xiuyi. Although I don't know much about Murong Heng, I always feel that he is not the person who would do such a thing... If it wasn't Murong Heng, then it was him..."

Leng Ruqing's face became paler, and she couldn't help but grab Shen Ruoxi's hand, her chest heaving.

Shen Ruoxi held her hand instead.

"Don't think too much. I heard that King Hanyang is coming to the capital soon. Ruqing, your father really loves you. You must hold on. If your father has a white-haired man and a black-haired man, he will be very sad."

Leng Ruqing held back tears and responded softly.

Inside the Qiankun Hall.

He Xiao was brought to Murong Heng.

He knelt on the cold ground and glanced at a bright yellow hem. A strong sense of oppression suddenly hit him, making him afraid to look up.

"emperor……"

"If you have anything to say, just say it. If I think what you say is of some value, I might be able to spare your life."

"Before that... I want to meet Prince Rui."

"When my people execute him, I will let you see his body."

"..."

He Xiao almost thought he was joking.

But thinking about it carefully, what Murong Heng said might be true.

He suddenly didn't dare to say anything.

At this moment, Wei Tingshan came over in a hurry, looking sad.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's body has been found..."

Murong Heng turned his eyes.

"how?"

"This...the fire is too strong. If you want to survive, it is really impossible..."

Murong Heng's pupils flashed slightly.

"I understand. Let's give my mother a rich burial."

Wei Tingshan did not move, he hesitated to speak.

Murong Heng glanced at him.

"Anything else?"

"Your Majesty... When the body of the Queen Mother was found, she was hugging Prince Rong. The two were not separated when they died. If the body is forcibly separated, I am afraid it will further damage the body. You see..."

"Then let's bury them together."

At the end, he added: "Bury in the Su family's mausoleum, and give the queen a cenotaph to bury in the imperial mausoleum. This matter has been taken care of. Don't let the news out."

"The old slave knows."

Wei Tingshan went down to do it.

He Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground, had a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Murong Heng's move was really inappropriate.

If the ministers knew about it, it would probably cause dissatisfaction.

Su Liuer has entered the harem no matter what. Even if she is unfaithful to the late emperor, she should be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

And Prince Rong...

Those traitors and traitors who should not be buried should be thrown into mass graves.

But he let the two of them be buried together.

He Xiao felt a little complicated, along with a hint of unknown relief.

He has followed Su Sheng for many years and naturally knows how much he values ​​Su Liuer in his heart.

Regardless of his ambition and rebellion, he was not pursuing the throne from beginning to end.

This ending may be good for Su Sheng.

Life cannot sleep together, at least death can sleep in the same hole.

"What do you want to say to Prince Rui?"

A cold voice brought him back from his thoughts.

He Xiao raised his head and met a pair of narrow, cold eyes.

"When I return to the emperor, I want to persuade Prince Rui to turn around and be safe."

Murong Heng sneered lightly: "Wasting my time just to talk nonsense?"

"I have something important to inform the emperor. It is about Prince Rong's deployment of troops...and some unknown forces he has cultivated in the palace."

"Oh? Why did you suddenly figure it out?"

He Xiao lowered his head slightly.

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero. The emperor is the lord of the world. King Rui is acting against heaven and will definitely not end well!"

A flash of fire flashed in He Xiao's eyes.

Prince Rong is dead.

Good birds choose trees to roost in.

Compared to Murong Yao who was cold-blooded and ruthless, he was more willing to follow Murong Heng.
