Xihe clenched his fists tightly enough to hear the squeaking noise. Finally, he released his fist and took the medicine from Zhang Dehai's hand.

"You are right, Manager Zhang, you must think clearly about the stakes."

He slowly approached me with the medicine. I kept backing up until there was nowhere to go. I looked at him in horror and shook my head again and again.

He handed the bowl to my lips, his face full of sadness, I turned away, tears streaming down my eyes.

His hands trembled, and he dumped the bowl numbly, and I pressed my lips tightly to prevent a drop of the unknown concoction from getting into my mouth.

Shen Xiyao suddenly pushed Xihe away and opened my mouth. He didn't know when he had an extra bowl in his hand, and it poured directly into my throat.

I struggled, trying to vomit the medicine out in vain. For a moment, I felt pain coming from the depths of my body, spreading and strengthening. My hand stretched forward weakly, Xihe was pressed to the ground by the three shadow guards, and Shen Xiyao looked at me coldly. I crawled forward, just want to leave this hell, leave this abominable face of my husband, leave this desperate and scary ghost place.

The door was so far away, the warm liquid from my lower body flowed out, and I no longer had the strength. At the moment of darkness, the door was knocked open and the bright light penetrated, and a figure staggered in, her voice sounded as if from another world Came.

"The emperor, the empress is innocent!"

The light disappeared and everything returned to darkness.

When I woke up, I only felt uncomfortable when I was wet, and I was irritated and thirsty in my mouth.

"Anyone?" I opened the tent, and there was no one empty outside, only a candle lit under the window, emitting a faint light.

Looking around, it's not a cold palace or a waste garden, it's actually the bedroom of Kunning Palace.

"Come here!" I tried to support half of my body, trying to make my voice louder, but the hoarse voice couldn't be louder. As soon as he moved, a sharp pain came from his lower body, which made the eyes fascinating.

The burning sensation in my throat made me mad with thirst, and my heart was empty as if there was something missing in my body. I struggled to get out of bed and walk out, like a ghost.

There are only a few lights in the silent palace, and there is no one. I walked along the promenade, with only one word in my mind. It took me out like a thread holding a puppet, walked out the gate, and walked through the palace. Road, walked into the Royal Garden.

water? ?

There was no moon, and even the sparse starlight disappeared. But there was wind, and it was as tight as it blew, making me tremble. At a glance, the slumping dead flowers and leaves were lifted by the wind, and fell like snow, with endless sadness and depression. And not far from the palaces that are darker than the night sky, the sleeping beasts make one's heart lingering.

I walked forward unconsciously, as if as long as I could go on like this, I would be able to escape the deep palace walls and forget all the sorrows.

One drop or two drops gradually turned into a downpour and hit me. When I tripped, I lowered my head, a pair of snow-white bare feet oozing blood, and several thunders above my head accompanied by lightning that illuminated the entire night sky, and also illuminated the calm water in front of me.

When my feet sank, I walked into a soft rippling, but my steps didn't stop, I still walked forward and walked, until the water was above my head, I finally fell into this sparkling.

It was warm, like the warmest sunshine in spring, and soft like a thick brocade couch by the fire in winter, and more like the tall and gentle figure in my heart, staring at me with endless tender eyes.

I opened my eyes slowly, and the place where I entered the eyes was boundless golden. After my eyes got used to it, a dragon on top of my head was riding on the colorful clouds.

The heart sank, and endless hatred and helplessness surged up. Am I still unable to escape from this ubiquitous dragon?

"Are you finally awake?" A hoarse voice was excited: "You have been in a coma for five days."

I turned my head hard, and Shen Xiyao's sad eyes fell into his eyes. When I saw those eyes, I shuddered subconsciously and couldn't help but curl up.

His hand came over, seeing that it was about to cover my forehead, I hid in disgust, and the tears couldn't stop streaming down.

"The emperor," I wailed, "please, let me go."

Shen Xiyao's eye injury could no longer be concealed, his bloodshot eyes were slightly damp, and his hands were weakly hanging down.

"Where is this?" I asked.

"Yushufang." His voice was weak.

"Please send me back, okay?" I said I wanted to stand up, but I didn't have any strength.

"Good." Shen Xiyao lowered his head, without hesitation or rejection.

After that, he wanted to help me up, but as soon as I saw those hands, I couldn't help but flinch, repelling him from the bottom of my heart. Shen Xiyao sighed softly, her eyes were full of sadness and self-blame, her mouth moved, but in the end she didn't say anything.

I was supported by a group of palace ladies on the soft sedan chair. I felt tired and sleepy. I suddenly saw lights and festoons under the shining sun. Turning his mind, he whispered to the person behind him: "The concubine wishes the emperor a longevity."

If today is good, it should be his Longevity Day.

For the next month, I lay on the big bed in Kunning Palace, the doctors were in the backyard every day, and the maids and eunuchs kept walking, all the tools in the hall were put away, and even the food and soup were fed to me by the maids. .

In such a frustrated and desperate day, I learned what happened afterwards from Huiju's mouth.

That day, Li Chang was sending his newly planted Jiangshan Everlasting Bonsai to the Hall of Nourishing Heart. When he met Zhen'er and Su Xin, he was locked into the ear room by several guards. Outside the door, she quietly listened to the conversation between Zhen'er and Su Xin, only then knew that I was in danger, and hurried to find Yi Fei. After all, it was Concubine Yi that contributed to my passing from Fanfan to Huanyi Bureau, and she probably knew my past in Huanyi Bureau, so she found several court ladies of Huanyi Bureau to report to Shen Xiyao.

Those court ladies confirmed that Xiao Rong loved Chinese clothes, and that it was the fact that Li Fei went to the Imperial Garden on her birthday first, and I couldn't help but chase after her. As for Xiao Rong's death, those people also proved that the executioner had said that it was Empress Li. Later, the two people who were executed that day were found. The Meng family had fallen and Li Fei was dead, so naturally they would not conceal anymore, so they said Li Fei had instructed that the two palace ladies who went to the birthday feast must be killed.

Later, when Li Chang saw the embroidered handkerchief in Shen Xiyao’s hand, he exclaimed that the embroidered handkerchief should have been cut from Xiao Rong’s skirt, but that skirt was Xiao Rong’s favorite clothes during her lifetime, so it was when she was buried. Wearing it. Several other maids also confirmed the matter. Especially one said that when Xiao Rong and Zhen'er exchanged clothes, Zhen'er left in a hurry and her piece was not taken away by this person.

As soon as the dress was delivered, the contrast and the fabric were indeed the same. After opening the coffin again, she found that the clothes on Xiao Rong were no longer there, only Xieyi left.

Huiju also rushed to the palace, confessing the fact that she went to the palace more frequently after she returned to the palace, and also admitted the ticket number for going to the third brother every time. But every time she went, she just retrieved the letter from my mother and swore that she did not send any news to the outside world. Then she tried to slam her head against the pillar to protect my innocence and was held by Zhang Dehai. .

Xi He knelt down and asked Shen Xi to pass on the Wanyu Doctor, or secretly find two doctors from the people to prove our innocence. In fact, without any doctor's confirmation, the fetus that shed has already formed, indicating that it is at least four months old. This time coincides with the day when Shen Xiyao personally consigned.

At that time, I was sent to the side hall when Yi Fei broke in, bleeding from my lower body. After Wan Yu doctor arrived, he found an excessive amount of safflower and aconite in the decoction. If I had not struggled to spill a small amount, I would have died of blood loss at this moment.

Shen Xiyao was furious, and arrested the three imperial doctors. He didn't want Yu Yu-Doctor Yan to be gone as soon as he left the Hall of Yangxin. The other two committed suicide by biting his tongue, and the other could not bear torture.

Then tortured the **** who was decocting the medicine, and confessed that Chen Cainu's maid went in during the period, and asked them to help move something, fearing that she had done something at the time.

After that, Shen Xiyao tracked down the person responsible for the "secret report," but unexpectedly, the suspects either died violently or committed suicide, without any clue.

Concubine Hui got off her hairpin outside the Hall of Nourishment, and she kept telling Shen Xiyao that she was blinded by Haoyue and would like to receive any punishment. Shen Xiyao didn't see her until I woke up.

In this way, Chen Cainu was demoted into Fansi by the poisonous mute, and she had a pity for a good voice.

Haoyue was thrown into the sky prison, and Shen Xiyao wanted to understand.

Concubine Hui bans her feet in Pai Xue Palace, and the eldest son sends Zhong Cui Palace to be raised by the mother.

Everything about the harem will be handed over to Yifei temporarily, and will be returned after I recover physically.

I was lying on the bed listening to this, without any ups and downs in my heart. They are alive and dead, what about guilt and innocence? My child was gone after all, and the harmony that I carefully maintained with Shen Xiyao was finally ruthlessly broken. It turned out that he was so black and white, it turned out that he was so arbitrary, it turned out that he never believed me.

"The two peaches kill the three scholars, and the fake swords are like frost. The girls are jealous and moth brows, and the flowers are in competition with Chunfang. Wei Shu believes in Zheng's sleeves, covering their arms to the king. When confused by a clever statement, Zhu Yan is dead and wounded. About to weep with a fan, I will be sad." I muttered silently. With this poem, there was a cool smile on his lips.

Shen Xi came to see me day by day, but when I saw him, I was scared and hid myself in a thick quilt until he left. Later, he just stood under the window and looked at me through the half-open seam, rain or shine.

"Niangniang," Huiju said while feeding the soup medicine into my mouth: "The emperor comes to see Niangniang every day, is she really missing?"

I shook my head and flinched inward, showing a scared expression.

Huiju couldn't bear it, turned her back to wipe her eyes, and sighed long.

When I returned to Kunning Palace, I never said a word. Shen Xiyao once thought that I was aphonia, but the doctor's diagnosis was fruitless. In fact, only I know that I don’t want to speak, because I’m afraid that when I open my mouth, it will be a vicious word. I am afraid that I will eat its flesh and drink its blood when I open it. I am afraid that when I open my mouth, I will cry endlessly. collapse.

So I shrank in Kunning Palace's bedroom all day long, only Xuan'er showed a little smile when he was carried, but didn't speak. The imperial doctor said that my body injury was too serious this time and it took a long time to recuperate, and I did not attend the palace dinner during the New Year.

When winter comes and spring comes, when Yingchun pours out the golden flowers under the corridor, my pale complexion has gradually become ruddy, and my thin body is slightly plump, except for a little brilliance in my eyes and no words in my mouth, but I have recovered from my first time in the palace. The grace of coming.

Because I have been bored in the bedroom, Shen Xiyao ordered people to collect many interesting little things, but I ignored them and piled them aside, Huiju couldn't pass them, so I had to demonstrate them one by one before putting them into the warehouse.

The weather was fine this day. Xuan'er was just taken away by the nurse. I leaned on the pillow and slowly drank a bowl of almond dew. Huiju walked in and reported: "Manny, Wang Yu, please see me."

I was taken aback and almost turned over the chrysanthemum chrysanthemum bowl with colored glaze in my hand. I looked up at Huiju hurriedly, eyes full of disbelief. How can he come, how can he come?

"See you or not?" Huiju seemed to see my hesitation, and asked tentatively: "Why don't you go back to the prince, the maidservant, the lady has fallen asleep?"
