Your Majesty, please come quickly

Chapter 24
Apart from Aunt He, Concubine Ruo only brought two eunuchs with her, one to hold the lamp at the front and one to protect the master at the end.With the dim light from the lantern, weeds and weeds could be vaguely seen in the small courtyard. The eunuch holding the lantern carefully watched the road, for fear that his master would trip over something.

Four people came, but only the eunuch holding the lamp entered with Concubine Ruo, the other two walked in the other direction with a middle-aged court lady who was waiting at the door early.

The wind poured in through the hole in the window, blowing on the half-burning red candle, the flame danced uneasily, and the light and shadow swayed. "Cousin, don't come here without any problems." Concubine Ruo gently placed the food box in her hand on the table, "I'll come and see you."

Following the icy gaze, a woman with disheveled hair and half-worn palace attire was sitting on the head of the bed. Years had passed, and her once beautiful face was covered with wrinkles. "Will you come to me kindly?" A hoarse voice escaped from her lips , full of mockery.

Concubine Ruo was not angry either, she just sat down on the chair opposite the bed, "Why not? My cousin and I have never had any grudges."

"Never had any grudges?" Concubine Han couldn't help jumping up, "If your mother and her county horse hadn't framed my father, would I have fallen to this point?"

"Xie Hanxuan, did you make a mistake? If your father didn't intend to rebel first, how could my father and mother catch him?" Concubine Ruo sneered, "If you want to blame, blame your father. about you."

"You are talking nonsense!" Xie Hanxuan stared at Concubine Ruo fiercely, "This is clearly framed by you! How could my father rebel?! I am still in the palace, and my father has loved me since I was a child. How could he ignore me!"

"You say there is no, so there is no? The evidence is solid, as long as the emperor understands it, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." After speaking, Concubine Ruo stopped talking, and no matter how noisy Xie Hanxuan was, she always ignored her.

At the same time, in another part of the Yelan Palace, a figure was tied to a pillar, his hair was scattered, his feet were dangling in the air, and there was a "woo woo" sound from his mouth.

"Say it or not? You have to think about it." Aunt He casually took out a silver needle from the sewing bag in her hand, and slowly inserted the silver needle in along the seam of her nails.

"Woo—!" The person tied to the pillar struggled violently, even with a cloth bag stuffed in his mouth, he still couldn't stop the painful moaning.

"Have you figured it out?" Looking at the trembling person, Aunt He was not in a hurry, and just waited with her arms folded.And Zhuangruo said unintentionally, "Zhuo Lin, since everyone is a slave, I would like to persuade you. The person who holds the most power in this palace is Concubine Shu. If you want to survive, Concubine Shu must nod." Just do it."

Finally, the figure gradually stopped shaking, and the sound of panting breathing was particularly obvious in the quiet room.Zhuo Lin shook his head, nodded slightly, and then drooped down again, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"You are wise." Aunt He motioned to the eunuch beside him to untie the rope and let him down, and then pulled out the needle from between her fingers.The dark red blood dripped from the fingertips, and fell to the ground drop by drop, refracting a bewitching color under the moonlight.

"Indeed, as you think, I deliberately pushed the swan goose into the lake." Zhuo Lin leaned on the pillar and slowly told the truth.

"Who ordered you to murder Hongyan? Was it Feng Jieyu?" Aunt He asked with a smile on her face when she got the expected answer.
