dumb queen

Bai Xuanyan was still worried, "Your Majesty, where did the wild cat come from? If you are so unruly, you should kill the master together. How dare you hurt the Emperor, my concubine is so distressed~"

Xiao Jin wrapped his arms around him, "I'm fine."

Bai Xuanyan said a few more coquettish words, as if she didn't care at all that a young eunuch in her palace had just been brutally executed.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has planted some new flowers recently. Would you like to come with my concubine to take a look?"

Saying that, Bai Xuanyan hooked Xiao Jin to another place to enjoy the flowers.

After everyone had left, Xie Chaoge leaned over again and picked up all the other bags of fish food on the ground.

He glanced at the leaving figure from a distance, and then continued to feed the fish honestly.

It's a pity that after finally being quiet for a while, Bai Xuanyan turned back and Xiao Jin didn't know where he went.

Xie Chaoge turned his back slightly to avoid direct contact with Bai Xuanyan, but Bai Xuanyan refused to let him go so easily.

"Xie Chaoge, what do you mean? You don't even want to look at me?" Bai Xuanyan raised her voice, "Turn around!"

Xie Chaoge had no choice but to turn around, bowed his head slightly, and saluted Bai Xuanyan respectfully. After all, his current identity is a servant of Xuanyan Palace.

"Let me ask you, did you tell the emperor something? That's why the emperor killed Xiaoyingzi?"

Xiaoyingzi was the little eunuch who was beaten to death just now.

Xie Chaoge looked at Bai Xuanyan and shook his head innocently.

Bai Xuanyan sneered, "I forgot, you are a dumb person who can't speak at all! But Xiaoyingzi's death must have something to do with you, right? Otherwise, how could it be possible last night..."

Bai Xuanyan didn't continue talking, but just repeated, "You definitely did it!"

Xie Chaoge asked in sign language: What happened last night?

Bai Xuanyan glared at him angrily, "What are you gesturing to me! I don't understand, talk if you have the ability!"

Xie Chaoge continued to sign language: You can understand, I know.

Bai Xuanyan stretched out her hand and pushed him hard, a little annoyed, "I said I don't understand, but I just don't understand, don't put on an air here, tell me, did you do something last night?"

After that little Yingzi came back from the backyard where Xie Chaoge lived last night, he was taken away and had his tongue pulled out, and today he was dragged to this place to be executed with a stick, so Bai Xuanyan hadn't even had time to interrogate him, what happened, Did you see something.

But Bai Xuanyan didn't dare to ask Xiao Jin directly, so he could only make things difficult for Xie Chaoge.

Seeing that Xie Chaoge just stood like that, already a natural pitiful look, Bai Xuanyan was even more jealous.

"If you don't answer, I have plenty of ways to force you to tell the truth."

The two court ladies around stepped forward, snatched the two packs of fish food from Xie Chao singer, and threw them directly into the lotus pond.

Bai Xuanyan exclaimed, "Oh, why are you so careless? It's the best fish food, and besides, the fish in the lotus pond are rewarded by the emperor. If they eat something unclean and something happens... ..."

Bai Xuanyan stretched out her finger, and pointed at the two paper bags floating in the lotus pond.

"Go and pick up the things."

Xie Chaoge turned his head to look at the lotus pond. It was a cold winter day, and it just snowed yesterday. The water in the lotus pond was originally frozen, but was knocked open again later, to facilitate fish feeding.

However, in this weather, it is absolutely forbidden to go into the water. If you don't catch something, you will freeze to death first.

Seeing Xie Chaoge not moving, Bai Xuanyan raised her voice again, "I'll let you pick it up!"

Xie Chaoge shook his head slowly: I didn't throw the things in.

"Did I say you threw it?" Bai Xuanyan stared, "I just want you to go in and fish it out, don't forget your current identity, I am your master, and you will do what I say! You If it still doesn’t move, then I have to ask someone to help you!”

After saying that, several servants around gathered around and pushed Xie Chaoge to the edge of the lotus pond. He had already pushed him to the edge of the lotus pond. As long as he exerted more strength, Xie Chaoge would be pushed into the water.

At this moment, footsteps came from behind, followed by Su Jing's voice.

"Baifei, the emperor is back."

Xie Chaoge also looked over, Xiao Jin was indeed walking towards the lotus pond, but the person he had been watching was Bai Xuanyan.

"What's wrong with my concubine? I just left for a while, why am I being wronged again?"

Bai Xuanyan took the opportunity to lean into Xiao Jin's arms, "Your Majesty, the concubines are really incompetent, even the servants in the palace can't teach them well, and they all dare not take the concubines seriously~"

"Who dares not to take concubine Ai seriously?" Xiao Jin smiled and glanced at the people by the lotus pond.

Bai Xuanyan pointed to the two paper bags in the lotus pond and said, "Your Majesty, thank you...he deliberately threw this into the lotus pond, and the concubine asked him to pick it up. Said that the concubine should go into the water to pick it up~"

Xiao Jin's eyes flicked across Xie Chaoge's face, as if he didn't see the sadness in his eyes, he ordered lightly, "Since Aifei said it, then go down and pick it up."

Xie Chaoge's body froze. He had lost blood and fainted before. In fact, his body hadn't recovered. If he really fell into this icy water...

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Xiao Jin's voice was stern, and he looked at Xie Chaoge extremely coldly.

Xie Chaoge suddenly felt that last night was as unreal as a dream. Was Xiao Jin, who was so hot and intense at that time, the same person as the one in front of him?Or, he hides it so well that people can't tell which one is the real him.

In front of everyone present, Xie Chaoge walked slowly to the edge of the lotus pond by himself.

The fish inside thought that someone was coming to feed them again, so they all gathered around the edge, scrambling to come out of the water.

Xie Chaoge raised his foot and stepped in, the cold pond water instantly soaked his half of the calf, scratching his delicate skin like a cold knife scraping the bone.

The people standing behind were all looking at him intently. Xie Chaoge walked deeper with the other leg. There was no blood on his face, and he began to tremble uncontrollably, but he could only grit his teeth and use all his strength. He squeezed his fingers tightly and continued to walk inside.

The icy water flooded Xie Chaoge's chest, and the chill penetrated his limbs and invaded his bones. The tingling feeling gradually became stronger. Xie Chaoge felt as if two big stones had fallen on his chest. The fishy and sweet smell kept coming up, he swallowed it with all his strength, relying on the remaining consciousness, he kept approaching the two paper bags.

Soon, soon, right in front of...
