A kind of coldness emanates from the internal organs, it is a kind of boundless loneliness, even in the previous life, he has never experienced it in the countless sleepless nights after Ren Ren's death.Xiao Tianhong knew that this was a kind of despair that was close at hand but out of reach.Obviously he got another chance, obviously Ren Ren is right in front of him, obviously he has treated him as well as possible, obviously he has fallen in love with Ren Ren...

Even if he, as an emperor, can win the world and control a country, but facing such Ren Ren who dismisses everything about him, he can only do nothing.

Slow breathing, but only bone-piercing cold.

Xiao Tianhong heard that his voice was still so stable and majestic, as if separated from his complicated mood, it was an instinctive illusion: "Then, let's find someone to test the medicine immediately."

Such an order did not arouse any objection from anyone present.

Now that the problem has been identified, it is natural to find someone to test the medicine.In the palace, the most indispensable thing is a life that can be thrown away at any time.For the servants who have committed crimes and the death row in prison, for these people, giving them a chance to test the drug may be another way of life.

"It's too late." The old doctor suddenly thought of the problem, and immediately retorted: "I remember that when the preventive medicine was brewed, it took a full six hours. After six hours, even if you find someone to inhale the dragon sandalwood first, then It’s too late to take it down.”

The few people who stretched their brows just now felt heavy again.Six hours... After six hours, the poison had already penetrated into the internal organs, and it was too late to induce the poison.Seeing the speed at which the poison on Ren Ren's body spread, they had to induce the poison immediately, and there was no delay.

The air in the room froze again.

After a while, a pleasant female voice rang out: "Your Majesty, could you please invite some imperial physicians out, my concubine has something to say to Your Majesty." Seeing that Pingting was not as clouded as the others, she smiled and said crisply.

Xiao Tianhong was startled, he hesitated for a moment, then waved out the several imperial physicians, waiting for her words for some unknown reason.

Unexpectedly, Pingting suddenly suppressed her smile, and knelt down straight.

His forehead hit the ground heavily, and there was a bang, as if it had hit someone's heart.Putting her hands on the ground, the young woman raised her head and looked up at her husband, with a smile on her face and a sincere expression: "Your Majesty, let this concubine test the medicine on her own body."

This time, not only Xiao Tianhong, but also Ren Ren, who had been keeping his head down all the time, raised his head, looking at her with trembling eyes through the messy hair.

silence.

Endless silence.

Pingting didn't seem to notice the emperor's unpredictable expression, nor did she notice Ren Rentou's gaze, she just smiled happily, as if what she made was just a petty, insignificant little request from a daughter's family.It's just that unchanging smile and the corners of her eyes that firmly revealed her persistence and pleading.

Opening his mouth, the voice that came out of his thin lips seemed to be a little lower than usual: "Pingting," the young emperor called out the name that he would only say when he was alone, paused, and continued: "You know, this Maybe die."

"The concubine knows. But the concubine is the best candidate, isn't she?" The corners of Pingting's eyes were sly and cute, as if she was proud of her intelligence and proud of her worth.It seemed that the so-called life and death were not worth mentioning at all, all she cared about was detoxification.

Xiao Tianhong stared at her blankly, without speaking.But he knew it in his heart: indeed, she was the best candidate.Only he, Pingting, Shunfu, and the two servants of the Hall of Mental Cultivation were the only ones who took the real preventive medicine.It is impossible for him to personally take risks, and Shunfu and the others are his confidantes cultivated over the years, so naturally they are unwilling to give up.And on the other hand, it was this ordinary woman with no family background.

However, she is his concubine.

Suddenly feel a little bit sad.Xiao Tianhong knew clearly that if she hadn't brought it up, it was really hard to say what decision he would make after careful consideration.A concubine, a confidant, which one will he abandon?Xiao Tianhong himself didn't know, and he didn't want to choose.

But she was one step ahead of him and took the initiative to bring it up...

"You shouldn't guess what I'm thinking." He said flatly, as if reprimanding and condemning.

It is not a small crime to speculate on the holy will without authorization.But Pingting just leaned down again, pressing her forehead to the cold ground, and said in an extremely low voice from her slightly parted red lips: "I just can't bear to see something happen to the second young master. When I was in Zezhou, The second young master is also a teacher and friend, and now that the second young master is in trouble, there is absolutely no reason for the young concubine to stand on the sidelines."

On the cheek almost touching the ground, there was a coldness and sarcasm that no one could see clearly.Speculate on the holy will?In fact, there is no need to speculate, she already knew, and he also knew that she knew.Knowing that His Majesty, her husband, actually loves a man, and that man treats him with contempt, but she can only pretend to be ignorant, let alone do anything because of it.

But when faced with this man's doubts, she could only say that she didn't deliberately flatter him because she knew his thoughts, but wanted to save a friend and a benefactor.

Pingting thought, regardless of other things, maybe she would save him too.

She will never forget who helped her family in Zezhou, who taught her medical skills, and who helped her run smoothly in the palace.Maybe Ren Ren would feel sorry for her and hurt her, but she couldn't do the same thing.Because what she wants to save is the person she once loved, because she remembers what he said, the kind and simple Pingting is the cutest.

Now she is not innocent anymore, so let her keep the little bit of kindness left.

At this moment, the emperor's voice came to mind again, unable to tell the difference between joy and anger: "As my concubine, she is willing to die for another man."

If she hadn't lowered her head, Pingting could hardly control the sarcastic smile on her face.

Concubine?When did he remember that she was his concubine?In order to please Ren Ren, when he sent her to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to be alone with him, did he consider her reputation after the incident was exposed?Today, in order to save Ren Ren, when he called her to know what Ren Ren eats every day, did he think about what kind of rumors would there be after the imperial physician knew that a concubine knew exactly what a foreign minister's diet was?Now when he sacrificed her life for Ren Ren, did he remember that she was his concubine who had been married to him before?

She is obviously just a woman who can be discarded, why should she make such an accusation at this time?Obviously she did what he wanted, and she was willing to sacrifice his love to fulfill his love, why is he still not satisfied?

In fact, she is a person who knows how to repay her kindness.She can die to save Ren Ren, but she doesn't want to be forced to die.

It's just that now she is really chilling: such a person is her husband.

How could she love, how dare she love...

Pingting's silence was exchanged for Xiao Tianhong's same silence.

"Pingting, don't do anything stupid." It was Ren Ren's weak voice that broke the silence.

Huo Ran raised his head, raised his eyebrows in the direction of Ren Ren, the woman blinked playfully, with a look of cheating: "Now you are the least qualified to resist, and His Majesty agrees to everything." Saying that, she secretly asked Xiao Tianhong They winked, as if the two of them had some little secret they wanted to keep from Ren Ren.At this time, Pingting didn't have the dignified appearance she usually maintains, but her tone was brisk but not out of proportion, and she looked playful and cute.

Seeing Pingting like this, Xiao Tianhong's heart suddenly softened, and he couldn't say any more to question and explore.He said slowly, "What wish do you have?" The tone was filled with inexplicable regret, because this trip would be a narrow escape.

Pingting was taken aback, as if she didn't expect him to say such a thing. After thinking about it for a while, she pouted her lips unhappily, and said angrily, "It's not auspicious for your Majesty to ask such a question, and my concubine might not be well. Wait until The concubine helped the imperial physician find a way, and after he cured the second young master and saved himself, His Majesty will reward you for your merits."

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked to the door, saluted himself, with a mischievous smile on his brows: "Time waits for no one, my concubine will go to discuss the solution with the imperial physicians first." After finishing speaking, he pushed The door went out, and then a crisp sound rang out in the outer room.

Looking at the doorway where the girl disappeared, Ren Ren suddenly looked at Xiao Tianhong who was also in a daze, and chuckled softly: "Maybe, you will regret it." In the air, no one heard but himself: "I will too."

On the soft bed, Pingting, who was wearing only her bellyband, clasped the edge of the bed tightly. Her hands, which were bound separately at the head of the bed, firmly grasped the crossbar at the head of the bed. Her neatly trimmed nails had already turned white from the force, almost To dig into the fine sandalwood.There were bursts of uncontrollable hums from the trembling lips, but the body did not dare to twist the slightest bit.

A pure white handkerchief was gently pressed against the forehead, her apricot red eyes were red, and her voice was a little choked up: "Mother, why are you so stupid..." She couldn't believe what was happening now.She was summoned to this side hall, and she was only told to serve the empress.When she received the order, she was still puzzled: Your Majesty called the empress away, so how could there be no one to wait on your Majesty?But when she saw the empress with red rashes on her body, she felt her mind went blank and she was stunned on the spot.

Almost lost her soul, she obeyed the imperial doctor's order, saying that she would tie up the hands and feet of the empress, and call them into the room when the rash on her body began to turn bright red.

After that, she was the one who accompanied the empress, watching her go from calm to pain, from indifference to forbearance.In this room where there were only two of them, the empress did not elaborate, she only told her that it was for testing medicine.But she couldn't understand, why did she have to ask a lady to test the medicine?I heard from the empress that there are servants around His Majesty who meet the conditions for testing the medicine. Is the life of a concubine not as precious as a servant?

Pingting gasped and said, "I'm not stupid, this is the smartest way."

She has to come forward.Because she had no choice, let's not talk about it. If she didn't speak, His Majesty's final decision to sacrifice her was still his confidant. Just because she knew too much about this, His Majesty would never let her go.If Ren Ren still stays in the palace, she still has the value of making him happy, but what if Ren Ren leaves?How would she deal with a concubine who knew too much, had no prominent family background, and became a thorn in the eyes of a woman in the harem long ago?

In this harem, the only thing she can rely on is the emperor's favor.

However, that love is only arbitrary.

Then, she will make full use of this favor.

——In order to fulfill your love, I can die.

Such a move, such a sacrifice, she doesn't believe that the emperor can't be moved, she doesn't believe that the emperor is so hard-hearted that he doesn't feel a little guilty towards her.Maybe, he will think that she loves him deeply, so much that he can die; maybe he will think that she just really wants to save Ren Ren; maybe he will guess her true thoughts... But no matter how you think about it Well, as long as she gets through this time, she will no longer be a woman he can abandon at will.

——No matter what her starting point is, her credit for saving Ren Ren's life is absolutely indelible.

At the same time, there is Ren Ren who owes her a favor, and behind Ren Ren are the Ren family and the Sacred Valley of Medicine.Even because of these two forces, His Majesty will not do anything to her easily.

She clearly knew that the weight in the emperor's heart was to be fought with her life.

Turning her head, looking coldly at the red spots on her arms, Pingting chuckled: She has really become, so smart.
