My uncle, he has all the power in the world

Ning Keyao was overjoyed. In an instant, the grievances and annoyance in her heart completely disappeared, and she followed Yun Qiu Tomb obediently. It seemed that as long as Yun Qiu Tomb was by her side, all she could think about was him.

Bihu.

The two walked along the lakeshore for a long time, like a leisurely stroll. Ning Keyao wanted to speak several times, but remembered that Yun Qiu Tomb did not allow her to ask questions, so she had to endure and follow Yun Qiu Tomb, but she never felt anything in her heart. It was so sweet.

After a long time, Yunqiu Tomb slowly stopped, looked at the lake, and said casually: "The fourth princess is so sad, is it because she did not go to Bei to pray for marriage?"

"Of course not!" Ning Keyao was afraid that Yun Qiu Tomb would misunderstand her, so she hurriedly explained: "I have never even seen Emperor Beiqi in person, so how could I want to marry her!"

Ever since she was rescued by him on the long street, he was the only person she wanted to marry.

"Then why are you so sad?" Yun Qiu Tomb also turned his head and looked at Ning Keyao.

Facing Yunqiu Tomb's handsome eyes, Ning Keyao's face turned red instantly, she lowered her head shyly, and replied: "Because I didn't want to get married, I angered the emperor brother, so..."

"Beiqi put aside the marriage, what does it have to do with you? Why does His Highness the Crown Prince vent his anger on you?" Yun Qiu Tomb said coldly.

Ning Keyao smiled bitterly and said: "If I had cooperated a little better, I would have been the one to go and get married..."

"But something happened to the fifth princess," Yun Qiu Tomb said, "If you go, you may not escape death!"

Ning Keyao looked at Yunqiu Tomb in surprise, her heart was filled with ups and downs. She couldn't tell what she was feeling, but she only felt the tip of her nose was sore, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Even outsiders understand the truth, but the imperial brother doesn't care at all!

Don't look away, Ning Keyao held back her tears and whispered: "It is inevitable to die, how can the emperor care..."

"Why did the Fourth Princess say this?" Yun Qiu Tomb looked at the lake and said, "You are the Crown Prince's sister, how could he not care about your life or death?"

Ning Keyao felt unspeakably aggrieved, and she whispered: "But the emperor just doesn't care..."

"So you ran out of the palace?" Yun Qiu Tomb looked at Ning Keyao and scolded: "You have left the palace many times without any secret guards. The outside is no better than the palace. What should you do if you encounter danger?"

Ning Keyao blurted out: "It may not be safe in the palace..."

Even in the palace, doesn't Ning Yilan still poison herself?

Even his dearest brother, the emperor, might faint him and take him away.

In the deep palace compound, the power is so great that the people's hearts are darker, perhaps than outside...

More dangers!
But outside, every time I encounter danger...

This person will show up!

"Oh?" Yun Qiu Tomb pretended to be confused: "If even the palace is not safe, then isn't it difficult to protect His Majesty's safety?"

Ning Keyao said angrily: "Father is very safe!"

In this palace, although she is a princess, she can't help herself. She lives a cautious life, but in the end she can't escape the fate of paving the way for the emperor's brother. The same goes for several other princesses, who are not favored and are walking on thin ice. !

Ning Keyao said angrily: "My father is the king of a country, more than ten thousand people. Except for his palace, there are secret guards and forbidden troops everywhere in the palace. How can he be in danger?"

Ning Keyao said angrily, venting her dissatisfaction with the 'cage' wantonly, but she didn't know that the expression on Yun Qiu Tomb's face hidden behind the mask had changed in vain.

"You mean..." Yun Qiu Tomb asked: "There are no secret guards or forbidden troops in your father's palace?"

Ning Keyao was full of grievances but did not notice anything strange about Yunqiu's tomb. She looked at the lake and nodded and said: "My father does not allow the secret guards and imperial troops to approach his palace."

"Then how can we ensure safety while Your Majesty is sleeping?" Yun Qiu Tomb asked, his words obviously a bit urgent.

But Ning Keyao was simple-minded, not to mention that Yun Qiu Tomb had saved her several times and was the one she liked, so Ning Keyao didn't have any precautions at all.

She didn't take it seriously and said: "The palace is guarded at all levels. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. People in the palace have to pass the news when they visit. How can anyone approach the father's palace? It has been like this for these years, and everything is safe!"

Yun Qiu Tomb narrowed his peach blossom eyes and nodded slowly, thoughtfully.

Seeing that the people beside her were silent, Ning Keyao turned her head to look at Yun Qiu's tomb and asked doubtfully, "What is the young master thinking?"

Yun Qiu's eyes flickered, and he pretended to be casual and said: "I'm thinking about how you will face His Highness the Crown Prince after you return to the palace."

The speaker has no intention of listening, and Yun Qiu Tomb is making nonsense, but Ning Keyao thinks that Yun Qiu Tomb cares about her!
Warmth surged through her heart, and Ning Keyao lowered her head and said shyly, "Young master, don't worry, I won't see you for the past few days."

If the two sides meet, they will quarrel, so it is better not to meet each other.

Yun Qiu Tomb was startled.

How did he show that he was worried about her?
Knowing that asking further questions might make people suspicious, Yun Qiu Tomb said: "Now that the fourth princess is relieved, let's go back to the palace as soon as possible."

"Going back so soon?" Ning Keyao looked at Yunqiu's tomb, her expression full of reluctance.

"It's past lunch, and the fourth princess has been out of the palace for so long. Not to mention anyone is worried, even her stomach can't bear it," Yun Qiu Tomb said.

"I'm not hungry," Ning Keyao shouted.

She finally saw Yun Qiu Tomb, how could she be willing to separate from him.

"Fourth princess, please don't mess around," Yun Qiu Tomb said, "It's time to go back anyway!"

Seeing him like this, Ning Keyao felt very aggrieved. She bit her lip for a long time before whispering: "Can the young master give it to me?"

Yun Qiu Tomb was startled, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Okay."

Even so, Ning Keyao still had a disappointed look on her face. She followed Yun Qiu Tomb and walked very slowly.

The two of them walked in silence for a long time, until the sunset was like blood. Yun Qiu Tomb slowly stopped, turned around and said to Ning Keyao: "Fourth Princess, please come back."

Further ahead is the Imperial City.

Under a wisp of red clouds, covering the mask of Yunqiu Tomb, the silver was mixed with red and glowing with spots, which was extremely beautiful.

Ning Keyao felt sour and uncomfortable in her heart. She couldn't explain what she felt. She bit her lip and wanted to leave Yun Qiu's tomb, but she knew that this was definitely not what a woman should say.

After a long time, she whispered: "I don't know the young master's name yet, and..."

Ning Keyao hesitated, lowered her head and said shyly: "How can I see the young master again!"

Yun Qiu Tomb's thoughts were not on Ning Keyao. His pair of peach blossom eyes looked in front of him, as if looking at Ning Keyao, but his eyes passed through Ning Keyao and looked towards the distant and dark palace. .

When Ning Keyao saw that Yun Qiu Tomb was silent for a long time, she raised her head and said cautiously: "Young Master?"

When Yun Qiu Tomb heard the voice, he came back to his senses. He remembered what Ning Keyao had just said, and he calmed down and said, "They are just rough people. The four princesses don't need to worry about it."

After saying that, he strode away without waiting for Ning Keyao to react.

"Son!"

Ning Keyao never thought that Yun Qiu Tomb would just leave. She never thought that Yun Qiu Tomb would not even tell her his name. Her first reaction was to chase after Yun Qiu Tomb and stop him. But as soon as she took a step, Ning Keyao suddenly Stopped.

Looking at Yun Qiu's tomb leaving quickly, the tip of Ning Keyao's nose felt sour, and her eyes were instantly filled with tears.

She has been doing this for a long time today, repeatedly showing her kindness, asking questions, and trying to stay. If he could understand...

I already understood it!

It's not that he doesn't understand his own feelings, he just...

I have no intention of myself!
He left so resolutely, what could he do if he chased after him again? It's just asking for trouble.

Ning Keyao's newly relieved mood hit rock bottom again, and she walked towards the palace holding back her tears. At night.

Eastern suburbs.

At this time, in the basement, Su Qingmo was still sitting on the ground, her delicate body leaning against the corner, almost curled up into a ball, but still shivering from the cold.

She had not had any water for two days and two nights, and her already thin body was getting weaker and weaker. Su Qingmo's face was pale, and her lips, which were originally as red as fat, had turned purple. Only her clear eyes were still shining like the moon. It's still bright and beautiful.

But it was still so calm, without any trace of pain or fear!
Even Jin Xia couldn't help but be surprised when she saw it. Is her young lady really not even afraid of death?

The two of them took the Jade Bone Powder yesterday, and their death was unlikely to last for a while. However, although the Jade Bone Powder could prolong their lives, it could not alleviate the pain of being without water or food in their bodies.

"Miss…"

Jinxia and Su Qingmo were leaning together, curled up and unwilling to move. She had internal power to protect her body, so she was not shivering from the cold like Su Qingmo. However, Jinxia had not had any water for two days, and Jinxia was already hungry. Lulu, he had to stay still to avoid consuming his energy.

"Can I give you some clothes..." Jin Xia's already hoarse voice became even more hoarse due to the dryness of her throat.

It's hard to count how many times Jin Xia asked Su Qingmo like this, but Su Qingmo rejected her every time. She took it off several times, but Su Qingmo didn't wear it at all.

This underground secret room was cold and damp. Even if Jinxia gave Su Qingmo her coat and inner coat, it was just a drop in the bucket and it would not help. How could Su Qingmo not understand this?

In fact, Jin Xia also knew that, just seeing Su Qingmo freezing so badly made her feel really uncomfortable.

As expected, Su Qingmo shook her head slightly again, obviously feeling too uncomfortable to speak any more.

Seeing that Su Qingmo was getting weaker, Jin Xia chatted with her and said, "After I go out, I will first eat an eight-treasure ginger duck, and then eat the candied cake from Miyizhai, as well as hibiscus shrimp, dragon beard noodles, and hydrangeas." Whole fish…”

Jin Xia turned her head to Su Qingmo and said a little aggrievedly: "Miss, what do you want to eat?"

Su Qingmo was leaning against the wall with her head now, her whole body was cold, her face was still water and she said: "Let's have red bean porridge..."

She just wants to drink a bowl of sweet hot porridge...

After speaking, Su Qingmo felt that her throat was so dry and sore, and her voice was seriously hoarse.

Jinxia nodded and agreed: "Red bean porridge is good, I like it too..."

After a long time, seeing that Su Qingmo lost her voice again, Jin Xia asked again: "Miss, aren't you afraid of death..."

Until now, her young lady's expression has been sad, and she has felt a little guilty and distressed when looking at herself, but she has never been afraid. Is her young lady really not afraid of death?

Su Qingmo said softly: "I'm afraid..."

She slowly closed her eyes and said hoarsely: "I'm afraid that you will die because of me, and I'm also afraid that after you die, no one will avenge Master..."

Jinxia said: "Miss, Jinxia is not afraid of death."

It's just Mr.'s hatred...

Su Qingmo forced out a smile and said softly: "Jinxia, ​​you won't die..."

"Miss," Jin Xia asked doubtfully, "Why are you so sure?"

Let alone seven days, no one will come to this miserable place even if it takes seventy days!

unless…

Su Xinyi will visit them two in seven days!

Could it be that the young lady is waiting for Su Xinwan to come back?

But she heard Su Qingmo say: "Jinxia, ​​it's almost night, I want to sleep for a while..."

Su Qingmo just wanted to close her eyes now. Only by falling into a deep sleep would she not feel the cold.

Jin Xia looked at Su Qingmo and felt relieved when she saw that she looked okay.

Counting the time, it is indeed night time now, but...

"Jinxia".

Su Qingmo said again: "Don't worry, I'm just sleepy. I promise you, I'll wake up early tomorrow morning."

They will not die if they have Jade Bone Powder to sustain their lives.

Jin Xia looked at Su Qingmo who was getting paler and felt heartbroken. The young lady was in danger, but there was nothing she could do!

After a long time, Jinxia slowly closed her eyes, but her mind was heavy and she was not sleepy. At the moment, she was not afraid of starving to death or dying of thirst, but she was afraid of...

freeze to death!

This night seems to be more difficult than last night, and tonight is destined to be restless!

The moonlight shines slantingly, illuminating half of the palace. Under this majesty visible to the moonlight, is the other half hidden in the darkness...

Tattered!

royal palace.

The night wind was blowing wildly, and the leaves were rustling. The dry leaves falling to the ground made a crisp sound, which was extremely pleasant in this late night.

The Imperial Guards were patrolling everywhere, orderly and methodical in the cold wind, their armor lightly rubbing against each other, and it was so cold that it made people feel frightened.

Tonight, Zhao Jing was on duty, leading the Imperial Guards to patrol the Jinhua Palace. The Gate of Supreme Harmony was empty at this time, and a black shadow quickly flashed past and then disappeared into the darkness, as if it had never appeared before.

Day two.

The light sun is warm, and the winter sunshine is extremely short-lived, fleeting and fleeting like a flickering candle.

Zhao Mansion.

At this time, Sun Xuer was talking to Ming'er in the room. She had been afraid of the cold since she was a child, and rarely left the house in such weather.

"Today is quite strange."

Ming'er got a cup of hot tea for Sun Yu and said with a smile: "Zhao Youwei hasn't returned home yet at this hour."

In the past, Zhao Qi would return home early to see Sun Yu after his night shift, but it was already past time and it was strange that Zhao Qi had not come back yet.

Sun Yu couldn't tell that Ming'er was teasing her, so his face turned red and he pretended to be angry: "You're such a good Ming'er, be careful I send you out to be that rough lady."

But Ming'er stuck out her tongue and said strangely: "Miss, if you can bear it, Ming'er can just go."

Sun Yu smiled helplessly, there was nothing she could do about this maid.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ju Xi running in in a panic, and almost fell down after entering the house.

"Juxi!" Ming'er quickly supported her and said, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"

But Ju Xi gasped for breath and said: "It's not good, young madam, the young master, he... the young master, he..."

Sun Yu was shocked, stood up suddenly, and said anxiously: "What's wrong with Zhao Qi? Tell me quickly."

"Young Master, he has been imprisoned in the Criminal Department!" Ju Xi shouted.

"What?" Sun Yu swayed and couldn't believe what she heard. She held on to the desk and asked hurriedly: "Why? Why was he imprisoned in the Criminal Department? But is it His Majesty's will?"
