Emperor Ulei heard this and looked at the suppressed Lingxiu, his eyes drooped and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xie Yuan looked at him nervously.

Finally, Ulei made his decision and said:

"Just follow what Shizhong Shen says."

He turned his eyes and said solemnly:

"You can take care of the rest on your own, I'm going back to the palace."

After saying that, he took the guards and maids in the palace and returned to the palace in a grand manner amidst the greetings of everyone.

…

…

On the carriage back, Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen were both silent, as if they couldn't come to their senses because of Lingxiu's incident.

Xie Yuan, who lowered his eyes, suddenly asked:

"Did you know that they wanted to frame you, so you sent Lingxiu there on purpose?"

Shen Liuzhen held his sleeves and replied honestly:

"I don't know. I just think it's strange that Shi Yu Shilu, a man who has always discriminated against Han people and didn't even want Han concubines, suddenly fell in love with smart people."

He glanced at Xie Yuan, who was in a gloomy mood, guiltily, softened his tone, and said:

"I was just pushing the situation along with the situation about Lingxiu. She kept using you as a shield and a life-saving straw, which made me feel very uncomfortable. I told you that as long as she said she didn't want to, I would definitely keep her. came down, but she didn't... Today's scene really surprised me."

Xie Yuan didn't look at Shen Liuzhen, but the air pressure around his body was lower, and he said:

"I am much stronger than her. A strong person should protect the weak. So what if I block her?"

Shen Liuzhen was speechless and opened his mouth, but finally no words came out.

In his heart, he regarded Xie Yuan as the person he loved most, so naturally he couldn't bear to see a lowly and unpleasant dancer taking advantage of her.

However, this is his selfish motive, which is contrary to Xie Yuan's ambition of great love. If he says it out, it will only make Xie Yuan feel that he is even more hateful.

So he gave up the idea of ​​explaining to Xie Yuan and instead said what Xie Yuan cared about most and was most likely to forgive her, saying:

"A Yuan, I can try to rescue Lingxiu."

Sure enough, when Xie Yuan heard this, he immediately raised his face. The displeased pressure just now dissipated in an instant, and he asked excitedly:

"Do you really have a way? But today His Majesty is here, in full view of everyone, how can she get away with murdering her master's family as a concubine?"

Shen Liuzhen turned his gleaming eyes and asked:

"Who said you have to be acquitted in order to save people?"

Xie Yuan was stunned and then asked:

"Prison robbery? Tribulation court?... Even if I go, I can't guarantee that I can rescue the person properly or run away."

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he raised his sleeves and touched his forehead, comforting her and saying:

"Ayuan, leave it to me. I will try my best. If necessary, I will ask you for help. However, there is no need to use force now."

Xie Yuan was stunned again, and Danfeng's eyes flickered. In the end, she chose to believe in Shen Liuzhen's strategy, so she responded directly and neatly, "Okay." Then she sat upright again and said no more on the matter.

Seeing this, Shen Liuzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had enough brains. Otherwise, if Lingxiu had ended up like this, A Yuan would have hated him.

Although...the two of them have a deep relationship, they still can't help A-Yuan hating him and alienating him...

…

In the cell of Tingwei Mansion

Shen Liuzhen held his sleeves and looked at the beautiful figure with disheveled hair and blood-stained body. He felt that she was as miserable and miserable as a dying beast.

Lingxiu felt the footsteps behind her, turned around and saw Shen Liuzhen. She was stunned for a moment, and then she ran to the door as if she suddenly came to life, grabbing the railing of the cell and looking out desperately.

Shen Liuzhen looked back following her eager gaze, then understood something, turned around and said:

"Stop looking, A Yuan didn't come... I didn't let her come."

The light in Lingxiu's eyes suddenly went out, but then she thought about it, she had already said goodbye to Xie Yuan and said her words of gratitude, so she stopped thinking, raised her eyes and asked Shen Liuzhen bitterly:

"What are you doing here?!"

Shen Liuzhen lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said:

"I came here to thank you for not framed me for that person."

Lingxiu suddenly became excited and shouted:

"You think I'm doing it because of you?! I'm doing it because of General Xie, because of myself! You are just as evil-hearted as those people, and you will be punished sooner or later!"

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he was not angry. He even smiled as expected and said:

"I know, but no matter who you are because of, I have suffered some benefits because of you, so I am willing to make some plans to save you."

When Lingxiu heard this, she sneered, turned half of her body, indicating that she was not interested, and said:

"You have such a kind heart? You are not like General Xie. If she saves me, it is simply because I need to be saved. For a person like you, from the first moment you see me, you have been thinking about who I am and what use I am.

Now that you are thinking of saving me, you are probably thinking of what use I have?...Don’t even think about it! I would rather die than let people like you hold on to your superiority and despise me while taking advantage of me. I achieved my goal."

There was a look of appreciation in Shen Liuzhen's eyes. He held up his sleeves and smiled, revealing a pair of sweet dimples. He walked a few steps to the other side, looked at Lingxiu and said:

"Well, that's true. But why are you so resistant? It's better for a person to be useful than useless. Do you want to be a useless waste?"

Lingxiu's body stagnated for a moment, as if she was a little touched, but soon she turned around, glared at Shen Liuzhen fiercely, and said:

"Don't try to fool me with your sweet words. I have no intention of living since I planned to kill Shi Yu Shilu. I don't even plan to live anymore. It doesn't matter whether I am useful or not, you have no use for it!"

After hearing this, Shen Liuzhen lowered his eyes, hiding the thoughts that were swaying in his eyes, and then sighed with emotion on purpose and said:

"Actually, the reason why I came to save you is because A Yuan asked me to save you. If you ask me, it would be better if you died, so why should I bother.

But A Yuan didn't want to see you pay for that Shi Yu poetry. I had no choice but to rack my brains and find a way out for you. And this way out happens to require your use and your cooperation to make it work."

After hearing this, Lingxiu's excitement and anger subsided, and she became noticeably gentler. She lowered her head, tears falling down, and stopped talking.

Shen Liuzhen looked at her again, then put down his hand, flicked his wide sleeves coolly, turned around and said:

"Since you don't want to, forget it. I'll go back and tell A Yuan that you want to die and don't want to live anymore, so let her stop thinking about you."

As Shen Liuzhen spoke, he stepped out gracefully. After he silently counted three steps, Lingxiu finally spoke.
