humble minister

"What's going on inside now?" In the outer hall, Shi Yu paced back and forth, and when he saw a person coming out of the room, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the midwife said that the empress was frightened and her fetus was gassy. The child is about to come out now, but I'm afraid it will not be easy." He took things leisurely and answered the emperor's question.

"Let them do their best to keep the adults and children no matter what, understand?" Shi Yu frowned, and the man shivered with a commanding command, and hurriedly responded.

At this time, he really didn't want to leave, and he didn't want to leave. Both sides were very worried, so Shi Yu could only keep asking people around him about the situation in the sky prison.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the fire over the prison has finally gone out." After a while, a person who reported rushed over, but his expression was a little uncertain. Even the lord is gone, but at the door of the lord's cell, he saw the miscarried Concubine Rou..."

The person who reported said that his voice was getting weaker and weaker, seeing the emperor's ugly face, he couldn't help shivering, and then said: "But don't worry, Your Majesty, the subordinates have already sent someone to look for Sir Lian, as for Concubine Rou. An imperial physician has already seen her."

"Take me to take a look." Shi Yu with a gloomy face didn't say anything, and asked the man to take him there.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you to stay with her..." The servant girl who didn't dare to move couldn't help but said at this time, but she stopped in the cold gaze of the emperor, and didn't walk into the inner room in a panic until she left. Duanmu Xi, who was struggling to give birth on the bed, said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty still went to the prison!"

Outside the prison is a temporary ward that has been simply arranged. There are burnt guards and burnt prisoners. The most special one is a miscarriage and a woman who has smoked a lot.But Shi Yu is neither interested nor has time to see these people, all he wants to do now is to enter Ah Ying's cell to see why people disappeared out of thin air.

"Your Majesty, the fire in here has not been completely extinguished. It would be bad if a small flame sprang up and hurt His Majesty. Your Majesty is still waiting here. Whatever the servants find, they will report to His Majesty." Seeing that Tianzi had the intention of going in, he hurriedly dissuaded him.Just kidding, if something happens to His Majesty with him, his head can't bear it.

It’s just that the emperor ignored him, and was about to go in as soon as he raised his footsteps. When the prison guard was in a panic, a little medical boy ran out of the simple ward, and seeing Shi Yu, he said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou It's about to die, she said she wanted to see His Majesty one more time before she died, and she also said that she had something to say to His Majesty, which was related to Lord Lian who disappeared."

Shi Yu paused, with a flash of impatience in his eyes, and finally walked towards the ward—I hope that woman will not play any tricks, otherwise...

In the ward, the woman on the soft couch had her black hair spread out, her pale face looked extremely weak, but her lips were bright red, stained with blood from being bitten by herself.

Shi Yu just stood still by the couch, took a look at Han Zhirou's miserable state at this moment, said without saying anything, "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly, I don't have the time to delay it for you."

"You really don't wonder why I'm here." Han Zhirou didn't bother to use honorific or modest titles when a person was about to die, but this man really saw through everything.

"I didn't come to listen to your nonsense. Didn't you say that you have something to tell me about Ah Ying? Tell me quickly." Shi Yu was impatient, the Han family really wanted to toss it to death.

"Yes, yes." Han Zhirou smiled, looking very normal, only the pair of jet-black eyes hidden under the broken hair on her forehead were full of frightening madness, "Your Majesty, come closer , I'll tell you when I get closer."

"Are you going to tell me or not?" Shi Yu stood still, but his face became colder, so cold that other people present shivered subconsciously.

"At least get rid of the people in this room. I don't think His Majesty doesn't want others to hear even your lord's thoughtful words about you." Han Zhirou's words actually brought out a bit of ambiguity. The expressions of the imperial physician and the idlers all changed slightly.

After the dismissal, Shi Yu frowned and said again: "Now you can talk."

In fact, he didn't really believe Han Zhirou's words. He didn't think that Lian Ying would ask this woman to bring him a message. Can't do anything else.

"Yes." Han Zhirou smiled in satisfaction, but coughed violently in the next second. She knew that she would die soon, and she would not be able to tease this man she hated anymore. Not coming back."

"You're talking nonsense." Shi Yu said coldly, as expected, he shouldn't believe this woman's words, let alone waste his time listening to them.The words were not speculative, and Shi Yu turned and left before she could speak again.

"You're deceiving yourself, Emperor!" Han Zhirou shouted loudly behind him, but her lungs became more coughing, "cough cough...cough, why do you think Lian Ying should forgive you for what you did? ?He has figured it all out. You have been just using him all this time. Even the one who chooses life and death is not him, but the woman you love. Who do you think would be so stupid, after all this happened Will I still be desperate for you?"

"Emperor Xuanwu, I think you know better than anyone else what kind of person Tingyun is. What he wants is not the power of the sky, the wealth of the enemy's country, or the status of being under one person or above ten thousand people. He has always wanted It’s just the word ‘freedom’! He’s helped you enough, you can’t trap him, and you shouldn’t trap him either, and being free and unrestrained is his lifelong wish.”

"If I were you, I would choose to let him go. Why make everyone so ugly, ahem..." Han Zhirou paused, looking directly at the man who turned around and looked at him coldly, the corners of her lips twitched A smile spread across her face, "Let me tell you, Ah Ying asked me to bring you a message before he left. He said that he would never come back in his life, and he would never be used by you again. He would rather live a poor life outside, And I will never step into this palace of intrigue."

"Oh, and he said he didn't hate you, but he would never see you again."

Han Zhirou's light words instantly angered Shi Yu. He took a step forward and said coldly, "Do you think I will believe what you said? It's just nonsense."

His sister, the entire Duanmu family is still in the capital, and everyone he cares about is here. He doesn't believe, doesn't believe that Lian Ying can really abandon everything so ruthlessly and gracefully.

"Then this jade pendant can't be fake, right?" Han Zhirou lifted the jade pendant in her hand with great difficulty, and proudly waved it in front of Shi Yu. Seeing his ugly and astonished expression, she was very satisfied, "Emperor Xuanwu , you are just deceiving yourself and others, why am I lying to you as a dying person?"

"Your Majesty, drink a bowl of brown sugar water slowly." Cai'er took the porcelain bowl brought by the palace maid, blew it lightly, and brought it to Duanmu Xiwei who was leaning on the bed, softly persuading her.

"Cai'er, are you hiding something from me?" The woman who had just given birth was very weak, but she knew that she couldn't sleep at this time, and she couldn't rest without knowing anything, especially when the emperor was still in bed. She rushed to the prison, no matter how she sent someone to stop her, it was useless.

"It's nothing, why would Cai'er lie to your mother?" Cai'er smiled, bit her lips and brought the bowl closer, "Your Majesty, please don't bother, drink this bowl of brown sugar water first."

"Cai'er, it seems that you still can't change your habit of biting your lips when you lie." Duan Muxi's faint words made Cai'er's expression change instantly.

"Your Majesty, it's really fine." Cai'er was dying.

"Are you going to say it or not?" Duanmuxi pressed him step by step.

"Cai'er, how can I feel at ease if you don't say it? Ah Ying is my only younger brother. If I don't know if he is safe, I can't rest well." After a while, Duanmu Xiwei could only pat him lightly. Pat Caier's hand to adopt a soft policy.

"Your Majesty, Cai'er says yes, but you must be mentally prepared." After a pause for a while, Cai'er finally made up her mind. Seeing Duanmu Xi's slightly promising expression, she said in a tearful tone, "My Lady, the Heavenly Prison is also It's on fire, and even the young master's life or death is still uncertain."

After saying a word, Duanmu Xiwei's already pale face became even more pale, and Cai'er was so anxious that tears fell, and she couldn't help comforting: "Mother, don't worry, don't worry too much, they just haven't found it yet. Even the young master, maybe the young master is still alive, no, the young master is so good, he must be alive! Madam, the most important thing now is to take care of your body. Empress, take care of you!"

"I know, I know..." Duanmu Xiwei forced himself to calm down, but drops of sweat kept slipping from his temples, he grabbed Cai'er's arm suddenly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Cai'er, hurry up and send the palace Don’t tell anyone about this matter, don’t even tell your father. In addition, let people pay attention to the movement of the carriage arranged over there. I have a hunch that Ah should be fine!”

Yes, nothing will happen, nothing will happen, her brother is so good, God will not treat him so cruelly.Besides, if you can't find it, isn't it the best news, it means there is still hope...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Just as Cai'er was about to leave, a court maid who looked very clever ran in, with uncontrollable joy on her face, "My Lady, it's done, it's done!"

When Duanmu Xiwei saw Yin'er's expression when he came in, he knew that the big thing had come to an end, and the heart that was hanging in the air finally fell back.After experiencing great sorrow and great joy in an instant, even though she was determined, she felt a little weak, and her heart was still "pounding" when she fell back.

"Really?" Cai'er was also very happy, she even pulled Yin'er and asked non-stop.

"Then it can be fake? The young master escaped from nowhere, but he finally found the carriage we arranged, and before he left, he asked the person guarding there to bring it back." Yin'er lowered her voice and felt a little disappointed. Said, "The young master said that he didn't know when he would come back after he left. It's a pity that he couldn't congratulate the empress for giving birth to Lin'er, but he will always remember the kindness that the empress treated him. If one day the limelight doesn't matter so much Yes, maybe it will come back.”

Duanmuxi heaved a sigh of relief, the situation she arranged was finally not in vain, at least it saved Ah Ying's life, at least it also broke this evil relationship, "It's fine, it's fine, if you can't come back... then don't come back." Come back, it would be nice if Ying'er can live a happy life again."

"I think so too." Yin'er responded, and then said, "Madam, the young master said that he knew that you did this to forgive him, and he also said that you can relax in the future. The deceased is gone, and the most important thing is Live well now, take good care of the little prince, this is not a disappointment to the late emperor..."

After Duanmu Xiwei finished listening, he looked at the sleeping baby lying next to him with a complicated expression.

Yinger, in the end, you are the one who understands me best...
