Chapter 72 The Empress Trapped
"What? What's going on here?"

Originally, Xie Chen just wanted to divert the topic, but when he heard Gu Hengyu's words, he couldn't help but freeze in place.

Seeing that Xie Chen was interested, Gu Hengyu told her the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that Cheng Ying's cousin Fang Zhishu expressed his feelings to Cheng Ying while drinking in the restaurant, but Gu Hengyu and Shen Yuzhi were also there, and Shen Yuzhi immediately stood up when he heard it, which was better than Cheng Ying's reaction. Still fast.

Shen Yuzhi stood in front of Cheng Ying and asked Fang Zhishu what he liked about Cheng Ying. Fang Zhishu said that Cheng Ying was gentle, kind, understanding, beautiful and intelligent, and he liked everything about her.

Shen Yuzhi sneered immediately after hearing this, and said to Fang Zhishu: "Kind and gentle? Have you ever seen her beating and scolding me? Understanding? Have you seen her throwing stones at me? Beautiful and intelligent? "

As he spoke, Shen Yuzhi glanced at Cheng Ying, but said nothing.

Cheng Ying got angry immediately, beat Shen Yuzhi violently in front of so many people in the restaurant, and agreed to Fang Zhishu's affection.

Gu Hengyu finished talking about the matter without changing his expression, leaving Xie Chen in a mess in the wind.

Xie Chen listened to this, and took a while to ask: "Is Shen Yuzhi okay now?"

Shen Yuzhi lost his feelings and face this time.

Gu Hengyu thought about how he looked when he saw Shen Yuzhi yesterday, and said, "Okay."

Lying on the bed, I can't move, and I have nowhere to vent my anger, so I can only shout in my mouth: "A man does not cry when he has tears!"

Xie Chen felt relieved after hearing this, and said to Gu Hengyu, "Didn't Cheng Ying have an interest in you? Now that he has agreed to Mr. Fang, is it because Gu Xiaohou has lost his charm?"

Gu Hengyu glanced at Xie Chen lightly: "It should be."

Hearing these words, Xie Chen felt that Gu Hengyu's answer was not Cheng Ying's treatment of him, but himself.

With Gu Hengyu's help, Xie Chen could rest assured and wait for Concubine Xiao to make a move.

Concubine Xiao probably couldn't wait any longer, so she asked Qingju to invite the queen the next day.

in the Queen's Palace.

"Your Majesty, Miss Xie Chen just sent someone to say that she is waiting for you in the Ye Ting Palace, she seems to be in a hurry." Qingju turned to Queen Chen.

"Yeting Hall?" the queen asked, the Yeting Hall was desolate and deserted, so how could Chen'er ask her to meet there.

Qingju thought about Concubine Xiao Gui telling herself that Xie Chen would cooperate, she no longer felt guilty, and nodded in response: "It's Ye Tingdian that's right."

The queen was suspicious, but at the same time she was also afraid that something might happen to Xie Chen, so she took Qingju with her.

When she reached the gate of Yeting Hall, the queen felt relieved when she saw Jin Zhi waiting here.

But there was no Xie Chen, the queen asked, "Where is Chen'er? Why are you here alone?"

Jin Zhi bowed to the queen, and then said: "If you go back to the empress, my lady has something that I haven't forgotten to bring back to pick it up, let the slaves come and wait for the empress first."

The queen nodded and said nothing more.

After about a quarter of an hour, Xie Chen hadn't arrived yet, the queen couldn't help but feel a little worried, fearing that Xie Chen might encounter some trouble on the way.

"I have nothing to do here, go back and pick up Chen'er." The queen said to Jin Zhi.

"Yes."

The Empress herself was not interested in waiting here, so she started to walk. She had never been to the Ye Ting Hall, but she only heard that it was dilapidated.

Yeting Hall and other halls in the palace cannot be compared in the same place.

At this time, the door behind the queen was creaked shut, and there was a sound of locking outside.

The queen turned around and ran to the gate of the palace, knocked on the door and shouted: "Qingju, are you outside?"

Qingju was outside just now and did not come in with her.

No one answered outside, it was silent.

There was no one to clean the Yeting Hall, the tabletops were covered with dust, and spider webs could be seen everywhere. Only the queen was left in the empty hall.

It was still afternoon, before the sun set, the palace was dark and dark, and at night, when you can't see your fingers...

The queen didn't dare to think about it anymore, she patted the door again with fear: "Is anyone outside? Can you come and open the door?"

Still no one said anything, nothing happened.

The queen's face no longer had the gentle smile of the previous few days, but gradually became frightened, her body trembling uncontrollably, she squatted down and buried her head in her knees.

As the sun gradually set, Xie Chen held her back at Concubine Xiao Gui, only waiting for Gu Hengyu to take the emperor to the Yeting Hall.

Concubine Xiao Gui looked at Xie Chen in front of her, thinking that the queen had already been trapped in the Ye Ting Palace, "Why don't you go outside and watch the queen? Are you afraid that something will happen to her?"

Concubine Xiao was a little strange, it stands to reason that Xie Chen should be watching outside at this time, in case something happens to the queen, why is she here now.

Xie Chen calculated the time, thinking that the emperor and Gu Hengyu should be on their way now, and did not plan to stay here any longer: "Since the imperial concubine said so, then Chen'er will go now."

Concubine Xiao looked at the sky getting darker and darker outside, and said: "You can rest assured, the queen probably won't be scared for half her life now."

Listening to Concubine Xiao Gui's words, Xie Chen always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something, and subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"

Could it be that Xiao Guifei has other actions that she doesn't know about?
Seeing Xie Chen's expression, Concubine Xiao was a little shocked: "You...you don't know that the queen has symptoms of claustrophobia?"

After hearing this, Xie Chen suddenly remembered something was wrong. When Xie Chen went to find the queen, her palace was still lit but she had already fallen asleep.

It turned out that it was not because I forgot to turn off the lights, but because I was afraid.

Concubine Xiao Gui saw that Xie Chen really didn't know, and she didn't send anyone to ask the emperor to go forward, and said, "You..."

Xie Chen glanced at Concubine Xiao indifferently, then turned around and walked quickly towards the Ye Ting Hall.

Hurry up... Hurry up...

It was the first time in his whole life that Xie Chen was so flustered and lost his sense of control. He bumped into many people on the road.

"Thank you, stop."

Xie Chen was stopped by someone, but she only had one thought in her mind, hurry up to the Ye Ting Hall, the empress is still there.

"Thank you, stop!"

Gu Hengyu hugged Xie Chen's shoulders and said to her.

Xie Chen realized that it was Gu Hengyu, looked up at him, his eyes were red, and the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing, "Gu Hengyu, the Empress..."

Gu Hengyu looked down and saw the tears on Xie Chen's face, he couldn't help being taken aback, and hugged her into his arms: "I know, I'm fine."

Gu Hengyu had arranged for Yunhe to be in the Ye Ting Hall in advance. The moment after the queen was imprisoned, Gu Hengyu brought the emperor to arrive. It was not dark at that time, so everything was in time.

After hearing this, Xie Chen didn't stop crying, but cried louder and louder. She was so scared, afraid that she would really lose someone who cared about her, and it was all her fault.

"It's okay." Gu Hengyu hugged Xie Chen, and gently patted her on the back to comfort her.

"Gu Hengyu, what should I do? If...without you today, I might...will live in guilt for the rest of my life. I thought I was...helping others, but in the end I...I became an accomplice, what should I do? " Xie Chen choked up and said.

Gu Hengyu opened the distance from Xie Chen, put his hands on her shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "Xie Chen, no one blames you."
