The second visitor arrived late in the evening.

He didn't come in, but just stood quietly at the door for a while, and said: "That man is furious, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape to death this time."

A result worse than the worst result Chang Le had imagined.

She gave a low wry smile. Confusing the royal lineage should be a capital offense, so what else is she expecting.In exchange for one life for more than ten years of glory and wealth, it is actually worth it to her.

"After all, it is a royal scandal, and various judicial procedures will not go through." He said slowly: "Recently, a group of rogues came out of the capital and rushed into the capital. A subordinate of a general who died unjustly once committed a crime. The people were panicked, His Majesty handed over the matter to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice resolved the case as soon as possible. In fact, everyone knows what is going on, but someone must bear the anger of the emperor."

Chang Le didn't say a word, just listened silently.

Su Yong stood in the dark, the distance between the two was very far, Chang Le couldn't see his expression clearly, but felt his gaze fell on her face from a distance, it was difficult to discern: "When you were still an emperor, for your sake Once seriously injured, His Majesty Longyan was furious, and thousands of soldiers died. Even if your identity is revealed now, countless people will die because of you. Changle, if you have a choice in the next life, you'd better eat fast and chant Buddha to atone for your sins Bar."

"Second brother doesn't believe in Buddhism, so stop joking." Chang Le said wearily.

"It doesn't matter whether I believe in Buddhism or not, the key is whether you believe in it or not." Su Yong said.

Hearing this, even though Chang Le was in a bad mood, she couldn't help but smile: "Buddhas don't cross people, only people cross by themselves." As soon as the words came out, Chang Le was stunned for a moment, secretly thinking that this was given to her by Su Yong hint?

When the voice from outside the door came in, it was a bit strangely gloomy: "If he has already made up his mind, I will try my best to get this job. No matter what, at least I will give you a good time."

Chang Le was silent for a long time, and whispered: "Thank you."

Su Yong nodded slightly, turned and left without saying anything.

Chang Le smiled wryly and shook her head. Before she could turn around and walk into the cell, the sound of iron chains colliding not long ago sounded again.

It's so lively today?She felt dumbfounded, and subconsciously looked up.

The figure came in no hurry, walking calmly.From Changle's point of view, because the man was against the light, at a glance, he could only see the dark purple body opening his teeth and claws, almost wanting to devour everything.The man was dressed in a simple lotus blue gown, with no decorations on his whole body.But in this simplicity, there seems to be an indescribable elegance, which only belongs to the owner of the clothes.

Not everyone can control the color of lotus blue, and if one step is wrong, it will cause a joke of imitation.But no one has ever given Changle the same feeling as that person, as if such an elegant and noble color was born for that person.

That face is very familiar.Familiar with seeing her, Chang Le's silent heart beat twice more involuntarily.When seeing that long-lost face, the palpitations at that moment were so deep and intense.

She can't lie to herself.

But Changle didn't show a look of joy, she didn't even show any expression, she just stood there lightly, tried her best to suppress the trembling in her words, and said in the most casual and indifferent tone: "...what are you doing here? ?”

Such a cold tone did not force the man back.Xishi stared at her intently, and when Chang Le tilted her head to avoid her gaze uncomfortably, she suddenly smiled, walked up to her calmly, and tilted her head to look at her: "Little princess, don't always Is it so duplicity, you obviously want to see me, but why are you unhappy when I come here?"

Obviously it was just such a simple sentence, but Changle felt that the emotions she had been suppressing all this time were showing signs of breaking down. She barely held back the soreness in her eyes, and said stubbornly: "It's none of your business!"

Xishi didn't reply, and in the next second, Chang Le shouted angrily at her: "No matter what you tried to use me for, your plan is doomed to fail now. I am no longer that high and mighty princess, I am not the emperor's favorite princess! I am just a sinner, a prisoner who may die at any time! You still come to see what I do! There is nothing in me that you can use. Seeing me in such a mess, your heart Don't you think it's funny? What do you want to do here? Are you coming to see my joke!"

The smile on Xishi's face gradually faded, and she stared at Changle for a moment.Chang Le's eyes were red, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes, but she stubbornly did not let the tears slip out of control.Her voice was choked with sobs during the accusation, but she held back in the end, and she didn't cry.Yes, just a child.Xishi thought, Chang Le is actually only 16 years old, no matter how strong she appears on the surface, she is just a child after all.

Of course, children have the right to be willful, but this child is burdened with too much weight and pressure. She disguises herself as an adult inside and out. Over time, she has forgotten that she is still a child, and she can squat down and cry when she is helpless.

Goya heard the commotion here, and called Chang Le in panic, but both of them ignored her call.Chang Le covered her mouth and nose hard, of course she didn't cry, it just made her feel better, the illusion of suffocation could bring back her rationality that was almost broken, and the severe pain could temporarily dispel fatigue and grief.

Seeing her like this, Xi Shi couldn't help frowning.Her right hand lightly touched the chain of the prison door, and in an instant, it seemed that an invisible layer of hot flames burned violently.The cold atmosphere in the prison was swept away, and soon, the chains of the prison door and the big lock melted into molten iron and flowed down.Xishi pushed open the door, approached Chang Le easily, and gently hugged her in his arms.

She explained in a low voice: "They said you missed me, and then I came here. Before they came here, they didn't tell me everything that happened here. I didn't know that so many things happened." Xi Shi sighed, Press Chang Le's head on his chest: "What I said will not change, I said I will not leave you. Don't you have any confidence in me?"

"...I don't understand." Chang Le's voice came up from the muffled chest.

She didn't understand what she said, whether she didn't understand the sudden drastic changes these days, or Xishi's attitude that didn't change, Xishi didn't want to understand, she pressed Changle's head that wanted to leave, and her tone softened a little: "A lot It's impossible to understand things. It doesn't feel good when everyone is drunk and I am alone, life is so short, it is better to be presumptuous and indulgent."

Chang Le was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It doesn't seem like it came out of your mouth."

"This is my life creed before." Xi Shi chuckled, she held Chang Le in her arms, and sat down carelessly with her robe lifted, the ground was dirty, but she didn't care, Chang Le was extremely surprised by her free and easy movements.

"Is it because my identity has changed now, so our way of getting along has also changed, and your attitude towards me has also changed?" Chang Le sat on her lap, gently lifting Xi Shi's black hair.

"I haven't changed, what has changed is your attitude." Xi Shi said.

Chang Le thought about it for a while, but he didn't want to understand it, so he didn't continue to think about it.She turned to the other side and briefly explained to Goya what happened here, reassuring her.At this time, she suddenly remembered what Xi Shi said just now, and she couldn't help asking: "You said they said... Who are they? You arranged people around me?"

"Last time when I went back to the business to arrange a time for you to meet with Your Majesty, I thought that you are about to get married, but I have been busy with many things recently, and I don't have enough time to stay with you to protect your safety, so I went from all over the world. A few people have been transferred from the firm." Xi Shi explained softly while sweeping his gaze across the empty cell.Her eyes looked plain, but where the eyes fell, the scorching heat burst out instantly.The flame is colorless, but the naked eye can see that the air is scorched out of a twisted arc.

The hidden people were forced out one by one, and Chang Le didn't even see how they appeared, as if there were a few more figures in the air suddenly, almost making people feel that he was dazzled.

She looked at it carefully, and couldn't help being even more surprised.These five people are not like the dead soldiers raised by the big family, who wrap themselves up tightly all day long and dare not show their faces.It's not like the guards who specialize in guards are fully armed and very vigilant.But even so, they have excellent concealment methods.I saw that these people were surrounded by thick black mist, and they moved their hands and feet, and the lingering mist seemed to change with their movements.Not to mention their faces, Changle couldn't even see what their clothes looked like.

"Although these people are rebellious, they are extremely capable. I originally wanted to help you subdue them slowly and let them be used by you completely, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

Hearing Xi Shi's words, Chang Le was surprised at first, but then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What's the point, I'm not a princess now, those things... have nothing to do with me It matters."

From her tone, Xishi didn't feel relieved, more unwilling and helpless.Of course she can understand Changle's mood, she has experienced the same desperate situation herself.Even if Changle is no longer the eldest princess of the Daqing Dynasty, she does not have the blood of the Su family, but after all, she has been a princess for so many years, and she has been educated to take all people as her own responsibility. How can it be changed so easily.

Xishi waved his hand, and those people disappeared under Changle's eyes without a sound. This coming and going, like a magic trick, Changle couldn't help but widen his eyes, and kept searching the cell .

"Are all the people there as strong as you?" Chang Le asked.Her gaze quietly settled on Xi Shi, both confused and apprehensive.

"No matter how strong we are, we are all human beings, and we can bleed, get hurt, and die." Xi Shi didn't want her to bother, so he deliberately understated her words.

Changle thought for a while, then frowned and said: "Su He is not a good monarch, I am afraid he will not be Su Yong's opponent. I am thinking, should I tell Su Yong about your affairs... Anyway, people He is still innocent, if Su Yong could find out about this matter, he would have made preparations earlier, maybe he could still fight."

"It's better not to tell others for the time being. Once others know about this matter, I'm afraid it will be impossible to hide this news any longer. As long as this news spreads out, both the court and the people will probably cause a lot of shock. Don't let the foreign enemies not yet When you arrive, you will start to cause internal turmoil." Xi Shi paused, and said with self-deprecation: "What's more, people's hearts are complicated, and not everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their homeland. Selling out relatives and friends, and attaching to a more powerful force , This is the best choice for the weak."

Chang Le knew that she was right, but couldn't help asking: "Didn't you say that this place is very good before? Compared with the outside world, at least there is a little more truth. How can you be so sure that they will choose to betray?"

"Human nature cannot stand the test."

For a while, both of them fell into silence.Chang Le unconsciously clenched his fists when he saw Xi, and the chill on his body instantly became intense, and he didn't know what happened in the past.But anyway, it will not be a good memory.

After a long while, she heard Xi Shi let out a heavy breath, and the cold murderous aura slowly dissipated.She smiled apologetically at her, and stretched out her hand to help Changle up: "You have to find a solution to your current situation. I came here in a hurry this time, and I didn't think of a solution. But on the way here I met When it comes to a person, he has a special status, and I believe he will give you a perfect answer."

"Give me a perfect answer?" Chang Le was a little surprised, and then laughed at herself: "Who can be so supernatural?" Clue, who else can figure out the cause and effect?

I didn't see how Xi Shi gave the order, it seemed that it was just a glance of the eyes, and the people in the dark understood the order.Soon, a man walked into the cell.

Chang Le carefully looked at the person who came, it was a very strange and ordinary man's face.From this face, she didn't find anything unusual about him, and she didn't understand how he could be so earnestly recommended.

The visitor seemed to see her doubts, and walked in front of her unhurriedly.When facing Chang Le, his attitude was calm and calm, without fear, let alone ridicule.It seems that no matter what Changle's status is, it has nothing to do with him.

The first thing the man said when he came in was: "The Empress Dowager has passed away."
