The dank prison smelled of corruption everywhere, but the smell was extremely disgusting.

Xia Muling, who stayed here for a whole day, was lucky enough to enter this place in her life, and it was also thanks to Ye Yilan's blessing.

If she hadn't done this step by step, maybe she wouldn't be locked up here.

The messy hair and desolate complexion make people feel so cherished.

But no matter what she became, there was no one to care for her. Even if someone cared for her, no one would come to see her.

The only ones who came were the slaves who were always waiting by my side.

Seeing her coming to deliver the meal, I felt that this was the last meal left in the world before being sent to the guillotine.

"How is Chen Zhaoyi?"

The only thing that I can't let go of is what Ye Yilan did last night, but I don't know if the child in her belly...

When Ning Xin heard what the empress asked, she couldn't help but said resolutely, "Empress, Chen Zhaoyi's child has not been saved."

"How could it be possible? Last night was simply..."

Her child couldn't be saved?

But she did it on purpose last night, so how could it be like this?

Ning Xin, who was a little panicked, couldn't help but look around and looked at her, pretending to tell her softly: "My Lady, this matter has been spread throughout the harem, and the Empress Dowager has already become angry and said that she will be punished severely.

With you. And the body of Jin Shuyi has also been found. It is said that it is one body and two lives. It is said that it was a mistake, but it is said that it was you who did it."

"What corpse? Where did that woman get her corpse?"

Xia Muling simply didn't believe that the body belonged to that woman Lan Shan. She wanted to survive so much, so how could she end up with one body and two lives?

Someone must have framed him, and no one except Ye Yilan wanted to do this.

She hated herself for killing Caifeng with her own hands. She hated that she would kill him quickly and take all the blame on him. Just because of this, she could deal with her eldest grandson Wanji without any worries in the harem.

"Although I have paid off the prison history, I cannot stay for a long time. I have to retire first."

Seeing her leaving in such a hurry, Xia Muling looked at the food left behind, but it was locked here. Even the emperor had not yet issued an order to deal with her. She really didn't know who was her fate at this moment.

Call the shots.

I am afraid that Ye Yilan has already made the final decision on this matter. Otherwise, if it had been according to the emperor's temperament, he would have issued an order instead of staying here as cold as hell without any news.

Gradually retreating, the body was leaning against the wall, sliding down slowly but curling up in such a dejected manner.

Ning Xin, who was walking away in a panic, saw Chen Zhaoyi standing here. She couldn't help but look at the figure of the concubine in the prison behind her, and then said: "I will tell you all what the concubine said."

Concubine Shu."

"Today, you will go back to Xia Mansion and never come back to the palace."

"Thank you Chen Zhaoyi."

"My dear, have you really planned this?"

Intend?

All these plans still depend on Xia Muling's fate, which has nothing to do with him at all.

When Zi Ling saw the empress, she smiled and said nothing. She must have had an idea about this matter in her mind, but she didn't have any more words to ask.

Xia Muling heard the sound of the cell door opening, and saw a man covering himself with a cloak. For someone who wanted to hide his identity, he didn't know who would come to look at him.

"Who are you?"

Listening to these words, it sounds ridiculous.

The moment he put down his cloak, a gentle voice slowly said: "Why, is my sister so afraid of me now?"

"Ye Yilan, why are you here? You shouldn't be..."

When I saw Ye Yilan appear here, I was so scared that I couldn't believe it.

But looking at her, she didn't look like she had just lost a child, but she looked like she was suffering from any disease.

"That child is nothing."

Ye Yilan knew what she wanted to say, and she had nothing to hide about this matter. This matter was originally a lie and should not be taken seriously.

"Is there nothing?"

Holding her hands on the cold wall, her eyes were full of despair, and the endless smile was taunting herself. She wanted to get rid of the child in her belly, but in the end she framed her. This child was still a non-existent existence.

.

On the contrary, if he was used by her, he would never be able to stand up again.

Looking at her with extremely ridiculous eyes, he tried hard: "Impossible, the emperor loves you so much, why didn't he have the luck to marry you? You deceived the emperor like this, and framed me under the pretense of pregnancy, you are not afraid

Does the emperor know?"

"I'm pretending to be pregnant, but the Emperor also knows about it. This 'child' is used by the Emperor to deal with others, so how can it be a frame-up?"

When Ruo Ruo accidentally checked her pulse, she learned that she was not pregnant at all. When she returned to the palace, she argued with him and learned that he had done this on purpose.

Just because he wanted to use this matter to get rid of important people. Now he learned that the only person he wanted to get rid of first was Xia Muling. And if she did this to Caifeng, everything would go smoothly.

With her hands, this false pregnancy can no longer be pretended in front of others. Now everything can be liberated. The only thing that cannot be liberated is that it was pretended to have it.

And whether there is any real luck in this, this was originally a secret between Murong Haochen and me, so how could he easily share it with others casually?

He gradually walked forward with staggering steps. The emperor he knew was not so cruel or calculating.

He asked half-heartedly: "Your Majesty, did he really say that?"

"Do you think the emperor doesn't know anything?" Since I don't believe everything I say, there is no need to spend more words explaining it. But before she leaves, there is one more thing that needs to be told to her. This matter,

I only learned about it in the past few days. If it hadn't been about Xia Muling, Murong Haochen would never have told her. With his temperament, how could he easily come up with a sentence or a half?

"The emperor knew that the eldest grandson Guanji was secretly colluding with others. He didn't say it because he didn't care. As for the people behind the scenes, the emperor has long suspected you. Originally, the emperor had no evidence, so he got out of Lan Shan's trap. Ning Xin had already entered the palace.

Being bribed by the emperor, do you think that all your actions will escape the emperor's eyes?"

"Well, Yi Lianxun is also..."

Seeing her half-smiling look, he already knew it. Even if she didn't say it, she could still guess it. Now that all life and death are in the hands of the emperor, naturally nothing can be hidden.

"The emperor has laid such a big chess piece just to get me caught. I never would have thought that the person I love is actually the mastermind behind this."

"Now, do you still love the emperor?"

Telling her these things was enough for her to see clearly that Murong Haochen was not someone who could be possessed by just anyone. But every word she said, she still regarded him as the person she loved, wasn't it ridiculous.

"Love? Where does this love come from? The emperor is so cruel to others, calculating every step. I'm afraid that no matter how much I give, it will all be in vain."

Now I say that I have seen through it, but in my heart I am still willing to make some reservations. Even if I am being sentimental, it is better to be as ruthless as this world.

"Ye Yilan, you think the emperor loves you, but he is just plotting against you. The real power he gave me as queen was to suppress the eldest grandson Guanji. He made us fight secretly, just for you, everything is fine.

I really want to remove all obstacles for you. Am I really not plotting against you, or am I just loving you? I’m afraid you don’t know that the words the emperor said to me back then actually asked me to leave the palace after the matter was completed. But now I have not left.

The palace means death in the palace."

But for herself, the emperor can use anyone, and he can also use Ye Yilan. But at the last moment, for some reason, she had no confidence to argue with him.

die?

Death is so easy, but once life is in the hands of others, it is so painful. You can't die, and you have to be trampled on by others. In the past, it was better to think about it more clearly earlier, and it would not happen now.

It is so painful to live today.

"Even if you don't die, I will be canonized as the queen in the future. If the emperor agrees to this harem, it will definitely be in vain."

These words are a warning that you will never have everything you originally wanted. If other people's hearts do not belong to you, why should you ask for them so humbly?

"The harem is empty, I'm afraid there is only one emperor in this world." Looking back at the tiny window, I used to stare at it for so long in the Qiongyu Palace. It's just because I can see clearly through the window.

Everything outside. Now, only a small patch of sky can be seen.

Now, I can get in, but I can't get out.

"If I hadn't met the emperor back then, maybe you and I could still be the same as before?"

"Won't."

Because of this, Ye Yilan could see clearly that some things were trying to persuade her to say "what if". But this life was simply not something she could control.

Won't?

Hearing such indifferent words, the hermit nodded silently while biting his lip. In his heart, he felt even more ridiculous for asking such a question.

"It seems that you can't wait for me to die."

When Zi Ling personally handed over the bottle of poison in his hand, he already knew the purpose of Ye Yilan's visit today.

"You have been blinded by this place. If you are reborn, I hope everything will be more stable. Don't have any grudges. Just forget everything here."

Xia Muling drank it without any hesitation, as if nothing had ever happened for her at that moment. However, there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Before I die, I will tell the emperor intimately that I have loved and hated you."

, I will not regret loving you."

The bottle in his hand fell slowly, and his body fell to the ground weakly.
