The dignified and noble mother of the world, the master of the harem, and the seemingly friendly empress walked into the concubine's bedroom surrounded by countless palace ladies.
Concubine Qing was pregnant for more than one month. The emperor was on a tour of the south. Concubine Qing hid her pregnancy from everyone. She was waiting for the emperor to come back and wanted to give him a surprise. However, before the emperor came back, she was persecuted by the queen.
"Sister Qing Fei, you are so laid-back." After the queen finished speaking with a smile, her face turned into a sinister look. "Come here, arrest this foxy harem for me." The queen gave an order. The ladies swarmed up and pushed Concubine Qing, who didn't know why, to the ground.
The pregnant concubine Qing did not dare to struggle in order to protect the fetus in her belly. She allowed others to push her to the ground.
"The Empress said that Qingcheng Yinluan has a harem. Is there any evidence?" Concubine Qing abides by women's ethics. Of course she can be confident. In addition, she has always been protected and doted on by the emperor. But she doesn't know that there is such a thing as frame-up in this world.
"Hmph. Evidence. This is the evidence." The Queen said and threw a letter in Concubine Qing's face.
The letter fell to the ground. When Concubine Qing saw it, her face changed drastically and she shouted: "I didn't write this. It wasn't written by me." Seeing the queen's proud smile, Concubine Qing immediately understood what was going on. But what's the use of knowing it. The emperor is not here. The queen is the biggest in the harem. She will definitely die.
"I'm pregnant with a dragonborn. You can't do this to me. I have to wait for the emperor to come back. I have to explain to the emperor myself."
"You boldly betrayed your concubine. Not only did she marry you in the imperial palace, but you also had a hidden knot in your bead. It's really a crime that cannot be punished." A stern smile appeared on the queen's face. "Here, take the evil seed from her belly first."
The screams suddenly echoed through the entire palace.
Bai Ye hid in the closet. His acupoints were tapped by his third brother. He could not speak or move. He watched helplessly as his mother-in-law was cut open by those people.
There was only blood red in front of his eyes, and only the screams of his mother and concubine were left in his ears. The blood red and the screams stayed with him for twenty years.
Before leaving, the queen picked up the letter signature on the ground and said with a smile: "Thanks to Luo Heng. Otherwise, I still wouldn't be able to cure this bitch."
Luo Heng. Luo Heng. Luo Heng.
…
The water prison is getting colder and colder. The weak firelight on the wall seems to be frozen. It no longer has the energy to jump.
Luo Zhiyi and Jin He hugged each other tightly and couldn't keep each other warm.
"Miss. Do you think the emperor will agree to your terms?"
"I don't know. The emperor decreed that the execution will be carried out in seven days. He wanted to lure the eldest brother and the second brother out. In just a few days, the second brother's Luoshang alliance will definitely give the emperor a headache. The people's livelihood will be uneasy. If the situation continues to be bad, then... No one knows what kind of chaos will arise. Therefore, the emperor must hate and love the Luoshang Alliance. Now, I will offer such an attractive condition. The emperor will consider it at least. "Luo Zhiyi's voice also had a little uncertainty. She asked Bai Ye to send a message and it was just a gamble. Negotiate the conditions with the emperor. If it succeeds, the Luo family will have a chance of survival. If it fails, the emperor will be even more angry with the Luo family. .That will undoubtedly make things worse for the Luo family.
"Miss, Uncle Qing and Mr. Bai are here today. Will the prince let us out?" Jin He is still young after all. She has experienced too much during this period. The little girl can hardly bear it anymore.
"Who knows. I have never understood that person's thoughts." Speaking of Bai Ye, the uncontrollable pain in Luo Zhiyi's heart began to spread. She let the pain flow to her limbs and bones. Let the pain remind her She, a woman, is too easy to be emotional. Too easy to be blinded by sweet words.
After losing her unborn child, Luo Zhiyi was more awake than ever and understood that Bai Ye had no love or affection for her at all.
According to the usual practice, she was pregnant at this time. To her, and even to the Luo family, the child was a lifeline. However, Bai Ye's cold "Kill it off" killed the Luo family's only hope.
child. child
She closed her eyes in pain and pushed back the tears in her eyes. She couldn't cry. Now was not the time to cry. She hadn't rescued her parents or her brother yet. How could she cry? She had already lost her husband and her child. She cannot lose her parents and brothers again.
The iron chains outside the water prison rattled. The two people hugging each other turned around to look.
The door opened. A slender figure stood at the door. When she saw Luo Zhiyi's face, she couldn't help but gasp. It was such a terrifying face. Almost half of the face was destroyed except for the eyes. From the cheekbones to the lower jaw, the whole area was a hideous and terrifying red.
Soon, the man recovered and slowly walked into the water prison. Only then did Luo Zhiyi see that the person coming was the girl Yuehua beside Bai Ye.
"The prince has an order. Luo Zhiyi, as the daughter of a guilty minister, is to abolish the position of princess and demote her to a laundry slave. She will go to the laundry department in six days." After Yuehua finished speaking, he smiled at Luo Zhiyi. "You two, now. Come with me." Although the smile was elegant, Luo Zhiyi could see a little dissatisfaction in her eyes. Yes, at this time, Bai Ye actually didn't divorce her directly. But, there was nothing to say goodbye to.
Luo Zhiyi and Jin He looked at each other, then slumped down and said nothing. The two held their hands tightly, as if seeking the last warmth from each other.
Laundromat. This is the lowest maid in the palace.
Luo Zhiyi sat in the servant's room. Thinking of everything she was about to face, her heart became numb. She didn't care about anything now. She just wanted her parents and brother to survive this disaster.
Snow was falling heavily outside the window. Luo Zhiyi could not remember how long it had been snowing. It seemed vaguely like after the King Xi's Rebellion. The snow had not stopped. It was getting bigger and smaller, making the sky all pure white. But .Then how dirty is underneath the purity.
Luo Zhiyi sneered and shook his head. Jinhe had already closed the window.
"Miss, it's so cold in the water prison. It's not much better here. Take care of yourself. You have a miscarriage after all." Jin He couldn't say any more. He just turned his back to wipe away his tears.
"You're still alive, aren't you? As long as you're not dead, that's fine." Luo Zhiyi's voice was as cold as frost, but with a lazy attitude.
The servant's greetings sounded outside the door. Soon, the door opened. Bai Ye stood at the door in court uniform.
Luo Zhiyi turned his head. Their eyes were entangled, but there was no trace of friendship in each other's eyes.
After shooing away all the servants, Bai Ye entered the room and sat down opposite Luo Zhiyi.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help." Luo Zhiyi bowed slightly, but did not stand up. He just sat there calmly and calmly.
