Chapter 16

Side hall.

The maid pours hot water into the bucket and sprinkles flower petals.When everything was ready, they bowed and retreated.

Su Rui took off her blood-stained dress and stepped into the barrel.She scooped up the water with jade hands, only to find that her body was as thick as fat, without any scars.

There is no wound on the heart pierced by the arrow, and there are no large and small wounds left over from the past three years.

The traces of sin disappeared completely.

God finally took pity on her, the suffering ended, and a new hope was brought.Su Rui covered her face with her hands and couldn't help crying.

Great, great...

Calm down for a moment, she slowly put down her hands and raised her eyes, her eyes were firm.This opportunity must be seized...

Putting on a blue dress, Su Rui got dressed.

She returned to the imperial study room, knelt down and bowed: "Thank you for your rescue."

The corners of Zhu Qinghong's lips curled up slightly, a smart person really likes it.She raised her hand slightly: "Get up. Although your injury has healed, the poison has not yet been cured."

Su Rui got up, and stood aside with lowered eyebrows.

Just as Zhu Qinghong was about to speak, the soldiers spread the word: "The officials have arrived."

"Let them come in." Zhu Qinghong knew very well that people never see coffins without crying, and officials are not so easy to give in.

She is not worried, if she refuses to accept it now, she will definitely kneel down and beg in the future.The protection has been broken, and the monsters will attack the city sooner or later, will they be proud?
Four elderly officials entered the room and saw Zhu Qinghong sitting behind the desk frowning.

One of them said: "Who are you? How can you sit on the seat of the emperor of our country. I advise you to come down quickly, or I will ask the soldiers to drag you out. Come, come."

Several soldiers came in and saw Zhu Qinghong's embarrassed expression.The official pointed at her and yelled, "Drag her down!"

The soldiers bowed their heads, not daring to move, and froze in place.

Zhu Qinghong smiled and waved his hands lightly: "Back off."

As if they were pardoned, they withdrew immediately.

The official frowned even deeper, and the man who called the soldiers had a particularly bad expression.

"I don't like nonsense." Zhu Qinghong said softly, "The emperor is dead, and the crown prince is dying. If you submit..."

"Delusion!" The official who called the soldiers was filled with righteous indignation, "A woman of unknown origin intends to usurp the throne. Daydreaming! Even if you can control the palace, the people of the world will not recognize it. Don't do useless work, go home and embroider .”

Seeing that the other officials did not refute, Zhu Qinghong understood their attitude.In this way, it is useless to say more.

"I've heard your thoughts. Go on down." She was too lazy to talk to a stubborn person.

What else did the official want to say.

"I said, go down!" Zhu Qinghong's eyes were fierce, with murderous intent.

The officials were frightened and dared not speak any more.

The four officials left angrily.

Seeing the opportunity, Su Rui quickly expressed her loyalty: "If the girl wants to sit on the throne, I am willing to help."

Zhu Qinghong got up and walked in front of Su Rui: "What do I want the throne for. You are the one who should sit on the throne."

Su Rui looked up, in disbelief.

Zhu Qinghong patted her on the shoulder: "There's no rush. There will always be times when they come to beg me."

At this moment, a servant hurried in.

Su Rui rushed up to meet her and asked, "Servant Gao, what's the matter?"

Attendant Gao is the manager in charge of all the servants in the palace, and he is also the one who has helped Su Rui outside the palace.

He frowned and saluted: "Princess, there is news from the Crown Prince's Mansion. The Crown Princess is not well. Go and have a look."

"Sister Ling?" Su Rui was in a hurry and wanted to go outside.Zhu Qinghong grabbed her and raised his hand to call out the space channel.

"Go." Zhu Qinghong advanced.

Su Rui bit her lip and followed immediately.Attendant Gao looked curiously, and was startled when the passage disappeared.

Prince's Mansion.

A space passage appeared, and the two walked out.

Su Rui hurriedly went to the residence of the princess, and the servant girls knelt down to salute along the way.

The mothers and maids who usually serve are weeping silently outside the house.Seeing her heart tightening, Su Rui immediately entered the room.

On the bed, lay the sick princess.

Her lifeless eyes lit up the moment she saw Su Rui.

The princess struggled to get up.

Su Rui hurriedly stepped forward to support her with one hand, and held her hand with the other: "Sister Ling, why are you so sick?"

With wet eyes, the Crown Princess leaned on Su Rui, stretched out her hand to touch her face: "Rui'er, it's great that you're fine."

"I'll call the doctor. Sister Ling, you'll be fine." Su Rui wanted to leave, but was caught by the princess.

She mournfully shook her head: "Rui'er, no one can save the person whose death is approaching. Seeing that you are safe, I can die with peace in my eyes."

Su Rui didn't want to believe it.

She turned her head to look at Zhu Qinghong, her eyes pleading.

Zhu Qinghong lowered his eyes, sighed and shook his head.

The Crown Princess is exhausted, and now she is just hanging on.Tears dripped from Su Rui's eyes, and she clenched the Crown Princess's hand.

Coughing in pain, the princess coughed up blood.

Su Rui hurriedly took out the handkerchief to wipe it.

The princess looked at her tenderly.

Once a small group of children, grown up.

The princess shed tears.Her eyes were gloomy, as if she was looking far away: "After I die, I don't want to be buried with him. He is not my prince brother. My prince brother died long ago..."

When I was young, I fell in love with it at a glance.

The prince is Zhilan Yushu, and the princess is gentle and gentle.

They got married and envied others.

People can change their minds.

That night when the prince returned home, he was in a very bad state.The princess was gentle and relieved, and asked the truth after several times of guidance.

Their emperor's uncle gained the power to protect the country.The desire continued to swell, and finally stretched out the disgusting hand to the queen.

For the sake of the country and the people, they cannot refuse.The queen understands righteousness and volunteers to feed the tiger with her body.

That night the prince was distraught, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain and sat until dawn.The princess is also very painful, thinking of the queen and the future of the country.

The prince became more and more silent day by day, and he didn't know when he would stop talking to her.

Until the uncle came to the mansion.

The prince turned his face away without any explanation.

Compared with the physical pain, the princess was more distressed by the prince's betrayal.

Obviously he had suffered too, but he slowly sank.

Stuck in the mud, unable to climb out.

Since then, he has changed his appearance and changed his heart.

The former relatives became three evil spirits.

She dragged her body and smirked flatteringly, and together with the queen, she supported Su Rui for several years of peace.

Until the queen died, until the child they took care of was also murdered.The princess punched and kicked the prince, and she burst into tears.

The prince had long lost his gentle look and was extremely rough with her.She braced her body and wanted to share some for Su Rui, just a little...

But now she can't take it anymore...

The crown princess was sobbing, who will protect her little princess from now on.

"Sister Ling, it's okay." Su Rui held her in her arms to comfort her, "I'll be fine. I'll be fine..."

The princess raised her face and looked deeply at Su Rui.The child she watched grow up has suffered too much.

Suddenly, the princess coughed violently and spit out a mouthful of blood.Blood splattered on the bed, like camellias embroidered in blossom.

"Ruier," the crown princess held Su Rui's hand tightly, "well... live on. You must... be happy..."

"Sister Ling, I am very happy." Su Rui hugged her, "I will be happier in the future. You don't have to worry about me."

"Then... good..." The Crown Princess leaned on Su Rui's shoulder, her lips were smiling and her eyes closed slowly.

Su Rui suppressed her weeping, her hands trembling slightly.Queen Mother, Sister Ling, she will not suffer anymore, she will live well.

From then on, she not only lived for herself, but also to protect those who died for her.Losing hurts, worse than any pain...

When Su Rui's tears dried up, Zhu Qinghong suggested: "The current situation is special, and it is not suitable for a grand burial. If you have no objection, I can cremate her. You can keep the ashes or bury them in the soil. You don't want her to die. The corpse was still bitten, right?"

Wiping off the tears on her face, Su Rui gently put the princess down: "Young lady, cremate her for me."

Zhu Qinghong pulled Su Rui away, and threw a ball of fire with his hands.The fire burned the body of the princess, but not other things.

In the flames, the princess disappeared little by little.

Su Rui's hands tightened around her heart, and the last trace of kindness towards the country disappeared.

The flames burned quickly, and a handful of ashes would be left on the bed soon.Zhu Qinghong took out an urn and handed it over.

Su Rui took the urn and carefully collected the ashes.After collecting them, they returned to the palace through the space channel.

After bowing and retreating, Su Rui left the imperial study with the urn in her arms.

Attendant Gao waited outside and bowed his head: "The prince's condition is very bad."

"Take me to see him." Su Rui's eyes were so calm that it was terrifying, "kill my brothers and sisters quickly. No one will be left behind."

The high servant took the order and summoned a servant.

The servant led Su Rui to meet the prince, and the attendant Gao killed the princes without stopping.

The servant saluted and stood guard outside the door.

Su Rui walked into the hall and saw the dying prince on the bed.The prince was covered in blood all over, moaning in pain.

The incident happened suddenly and the situation changed.

The servants brought him up, but did not serve him.The prince is like a discarded rag, no one cares about it.

Su Rui stood by the bed, looking down at the prince condescendingly: "Sister Ling has gone. Before she died, she left a message and refused to be buried with you."

His body froze, and the prince tremblingly stretched out his hand.

He tried his best but couldn't speak.

Linger, his Linger...

Every frown and smile seemed to be in front of his eyes, his beloved woman.At the beginning, he was against the emperor's uncle Xu Xu, and wanted to protect his beloved wife and younger sister.

No matter what the uncle wants, he and the emperor must agree.Who told the heaven to give the emperor the power, which they don't have.

Day after day, they mixed with the emperor's uncle and gradually became a gang.

They hurt the queen mother, the crown princess, and the younger sister they once loved.

At first, some people said that what they did was wrong, and one after another, their heads fell, and no one stopped them.

They become absolutes and can do anything.

You can do anything...the people will stand by their side no matter what...

A line of tears flowed from the corner of the prince's eyes.

Who will tell them what to do?If you don't compromise, you will face the siege of demons.Compromise and lose everything.

Did they protect the country?Did you protect your family?do they have family...

"Why are you and your father so cowardly?" Su Rui clenched the urn tightly, "Satisfying his request again and again will only make his desire grow. Even if monsters attack the city, we will fight side by side, and we will die without regret. But you choose to protect us." In the name, hurt the people around you."

A country cannot be a country, a family cannot be a family, and the atmosphere is smoky.

The prince was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

They are wrong...

"You just wait here to die." Su Rui turned around and left without looking back.

Take your time and feel the pain of dying...

do not go……

The prince turned over vigorously and fell off the bed.

He stretched out his hand forward, as if seeing that smiling woman...
