Chapter 838 Decline [Five Thousand +](1/3)
Eunuch Li returned to the palace and informed the emperor of his encounter with Su Yingxiu.
What the Emperor means is that since he is here to find the Queen, the decision must be made by the Queen.
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of implicating Su Yingxiu because of King Cheng, Eunuch Li left the palace again and prepared to take Su Yingxiu to the palace.
Seeing the embarrassed Su Yingxiu waiting at the gate of the palace, Eunuch Li handed over a handkerchief.
"Wipe your face, so that you won't have to worry about the Queen having to see her later."
Su Yingxiu took it carefully and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Li."
Eunuch Li agreed and went to the palace to pass on the news that Su Yingxiu had asked for an audience.
When Qi Ranran learned that Su Yingxiu asked for a meeting, he asked the general to be brought in without thinking.
Caiyue reminded hesitantly at the side,
"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to see her? I'm afraid that she came here mostly to become a king. If she pleads for becoming a king, I'm afraid that your Majesty will be in trouble."
Qi Ranran lowered his eyes slightly and sighed softly,
"How could I not know what you are talking about? But her rebellion with Yu Wenjing has nothing to do with it. Since she has made up her mind to see me, I naturally want to see her."
Eunuch Li led people into the palace. Qi Ranran knew that Su Yingxiu had something to say in private, so he asked people to leave first.
Seeing the injury on Su Yingxiu's forehead, Qi Ranran's eyes were full of heartache.
"Yingxiu, why did you hurt yourself like this?"
Su Yingxiu's eyes were filled with tears, and she held Qi Ranran's hands tightly, as if grasping the only life-saving straw.
"I know you are in trouble, but all I can ask for is you. Ranran, I want to see him, can you let me see him again?" Su Yingxiu assured her eagerly, "Ranran, I only saw him once.
I won’t cause trouble and won’t cause trouble to you.”
Qi Ranran pursed her lips lightly, raised her hand to apply some medicine on the wound on Su Yingxiu's forehead, and comforted it.
"Don't worry, if you want to see him, I'll find a way."
She could understand Su Yingxiu's mood.
Once something like sincerity is given, it can never be easily taken back.
However, Yu Wenjing has always been arrogant and arrogant. Now that he is a prisoner, he may not be willing to see Yingxiu again.
Qi Ranran called Eunuch Li and asked, "Where is Yu Wenjing being imprisoned?"
When asked this question, Eunuch Li subconsciously glared at Su Yingxiu, knowing that this person must have incited him, but he could not but answer the Queen's words.
"The emperor has decreed that King Cheng should be imprisoned in the prison."
"That's just right. You can accompany me to the prison."
As soon as he heard that he was going to Tianlao, Eunuch Li's little eyes stood up and he was the first to disagree.
"Your Majesty, you are so rich and precious, how can you go to the Heavenly Prison? It's really inconvenient for you to go to such a dirty place. If the Emperor knew that I allowed you to go to the Heavenly Prison, he would blame me.
My dear, why do you have to work so hard for a sinner?"
Qi Ranran: "I have made up my mind, so you don't need to persuade me anymore. If the emperor blames you, I will naturally bear the responsibility."
Eunuch Li sighed and made a long face.
Well, the Queen has already spoken, what else can he say.
He glanced at Su Yingxiu dejectedly.
He regretted it. If he had known it was so troublesome, he should not have brought the person to the Queen.
Even so, Eunuch Li still sent a message to the emperor.
The Queen insists on going to Tianlao. It is a matter of becoming the king, so she has to let the Emperor know that she is wrong.
After everything was taken care of, we got on the carriage and arrived at the Tianlao in about an hour.
The guard knew Eunuch Li and even more about Qi Ranran's identity, so he didn't dare to stop him when he saw someone coming.
When you step into the Heavenly Prison, you will be greeted by a sense of gloom.
This place seems to be a forgotten corner of the world, damp and dark, with no sunlight coming in at all and only endless darkness.
It's obviously just a wall. Outside the wall, the sun is shining brightly and the scenery is beautiful, but inside the wall, the wind is chilling.
Yu Wenjing leaned against the cold wall, surrounded by darkness, and he seemed not to feel any chill.
Now he is just a dying man, waiting for the final decree.
He heard footsteps, but he didn't raise his eyes or look back.
It doesn't matter to him who comes, his end is just death, it's just a matter of time.
At this point, he no longer cares about life or death. He just wants Yuwen Chen to kill him and stop involving others.
Through the small window on the wall, you can see that it is a sunny day today.
He counted the days and thought that she and Jiarou should have arrived at Yunshui Village.
That's fine. As long as everything is fine with her and Jia Rou, he can leave without worries.
Yu Wenjing was immersed in his own thoughts until he heard a familiar call.
The moment Yu Wenjing raised his eyes and saw Su Yingxiu, he stood up suddenly, with a look of disbelief on his dull face.
"Why are you here? Didn't you leave? Who asked you to come back?"
Su Yingxiu couldn't help but shed tears the moment she saw Yu Wenjing.
But seeing the anxiety in his eyes, she couldn't help but smile. She sighed softly, just like before, and said,
"Yes, you sent someone to send me away, but I still came back."
He pushed her away blindly, and even said harsh words to her again and again.
But after learning his true intentions, how could she leave with peace of mind.
Yu Wenjing's gaze stopped for a long time, his slender eyes narrowed, and the shock in his eyes was covered up, replaced by strong vigilance, his eyes fixed on Qi Ranran, resentful to the end,
"What else do you want to do! If you come at me, it doesn't matter!"
When Eunuch Li saw Yu Wenjing shouting in a tense manner, he stood in front of him vigilantly.
"You have to recognize your identity now. You really think that our Queen is willing to come to this prison. Someone is not begging the Queen to come!"
Yu Wenjing's eyes were full of resentment, and he obviously didn't believe Eunuch Li's words.
Su Yingxiu suppressed her emotions, turned her head, looked at Qi Ranran, and prayed,
"Can I have a moment alone with him?"
Before Qi Ranran could say anything, Eunuch Li was already thinking that he was going too far because of the Queen's good nature.
Su Yingxiu prayed humbly and sincerely, but Qi Ranran couldn't bear to refute.
The prison was heavily guarded, and Yu Wenjing was a heavy prisoner. Unless ordered by hand, not even a fly could enter.
Qi Ranran asked someone to open the cell door and leave to wait outside, giving them space to get along.
Eunuch Li was afraid that the Queen would make a mistake, so he stared at her with his small eyes and did not dare to look away. Before leaving, he gave Xiao Shunzi a look.
Xiao Shunzi came with me. He was trained by Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li knew what he meant by looking at him.
Xiao Shunzi stayed and stared at the situation in the prison.
After everyone left, Su Yingxiu returned to the prison again. Her eyes were filled with tears, but her eyes were extremely bright.
She smiled softly, stretched out her hand to caress his face,
"Since you are willing to give up everything, why are you afraid of my coming back?"
Yu Wenjing laughed, and for a moment tears flashed in his eyes as he lowered his eyes.
He can risk everything.
But all this does not include her life.
He had no way to retreat, he had no way to go, he would never have a tomorrow, how could he let her stay with him.
He once thought that if he could succeed, he would definitely take her back.
Otherwise, he would rather she go far away and never look back.
In the past, he had no idea that a person with worries could become so fragile.
Once there is concern, there will inevitably be more hope and reluctance.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Yu Wenjing closed his eyes to push back the emotion in his eyes, stood up and pushed her,
"Go away, this is not the place you should stay. Go away quickly, don't stay here."
Su Yingxiu held his hand tightly and refused to leave.
She had made up her mind that she would be with him no matter what time, and she would never leave him alone.
