Xiali, with her back on her back and her eyes closed, listened to the movement of the people behind her, but did not respond for a long time.

She was put into prison by the old emperor Gong Liangjin, and was taken to his wedding ceremony by his wife Xi Jingyao. She was pushed down from the high platform and fell on the steps. From beginning to end, she was pushed forward like a puppet, and she had no personal freedom. Even, she could not decide her life and death.

This kind of life and death can't help people's helplessness and pain. She is really fed up with it. Instead of listening to his affectionate confession, she would like to have a happy ending. She can always be free whether she lives or dies, instead of being held in the palm of her hand for a moment.

Gong liangche also hated the people who pushed Xia Li down the steps. Even if he had a target killer in his heart, he could only investigate from the people who stood beside Xia Li at that time.

Knowing that Xia Li didn't want to see him now, he carefully told Rushuang to take good care of her, so he got up and left.

For half an hour, Xia Li didn't wake up, and pretending to sleep turned into real sleep. Qiu Wen sent the decoction to her desk.

Rushuang takes the silver needle to check the decoction carefully. The silver needle does not change color. After confirming that it is non-toxic, she and Qiu Wen sit together and wait for Xiali to wake up.

Left, right, etc. don't see summer quinoa wake up, such as frost can only gently pat summer quinoa's arm.

"Madam, the soup is ready. Wake up and drink it first."

When Xia Li heard Rushuang's words, she woke up, sat up from the bed, took the soup she handed over, and drank it all in one breath with bitterness.

"Ma'am, it's candied fruit. Taste it and taste the bitterness in your mouth." Rushuang takes a small handful of preserves and sends them to Xiali.

"I'm not your wife. We'll be sisters in the future." Xia Li thought about it and said, "I'm 20 years old. I'm one year younger than you. I'll call you sister Shuang, and you'll call me sister."

Summer quinoa took the candied fruit, took one and put it in his mouth.

"Well, all right." Rushuang knows Xiali's consistent temperament. If she doesn't do what she insists on, I'm afraid she will find a reason to drive her back to gongliangche's side in the future. Can't the master be more disappointed?

In any case, she always wants to stay at the side of Xiali, not only can protect and take care of her at any time, but also can pass her news to the master at the first time.

"What's the name of the doctor, please?" Xia Li sat by the bed and looked at the young doctor standing by the rules.

"Madam, you can call me Qiu Wen."

"How is the wound on my head recovering?"

Asked Xia Li.

"Madam, this wound belongs to chapped wound. She needs to stay in bed for half a month. She should try her best to avoid water on her hair and perspiration. She should always help to protect herself from the sun and summer. She should stay in the shade and avoid sweating. She should eat more nutritious bone soup. After seven days, she should remove the suture for the girl's wound, so it won't be a big problem."

"Well, I've been working hard for half a month, Dr. Qiu. Now I'm a little tired. You all go out first."

Xia Li said, yawning and driving away.

Rushuang is not at ease for a moment. Xiali stays in the room alone. Be careful of her wishful thinking, she reluctantly leaves the room with three steps and two turns around. She stands outside the window for a while and watches her fall asleep on the bed. Then she is a little relieved.

"Rushuang nvxia, this lady's head is injured. She is easily tired and sleepy. It's a normal phenomenon. You can rest assured." Qiu Wen stood outside the door and explained patiently.

"Cheng, doctor Qiu, you are tired too. Go down to have tea and have a rest. Just give it to me."

Rushuang said with a smile.

Qiu Wengong left, leaving Rushuang alone outside the window. He confirmed that Xia Li was really asleep. Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead and went back to the next room to have a rest.

Until there was no sound of footsteps outside the yard, Xia Li slowly opened her eyes. She got out of bed alone, went to the bronze mirror, and quietly untied the bandage. The hair at the wound had been shaved clean, showing a scalp with long hair cut off. There was a pricking feeling when she felt it, and it was a little itchy when it was tied up.

There are blood red stains on the hair root and blood stains on the hair. The whole person is smelling of sweat. She is so hot that she can only keep fanning with a fan. She wants to cry without tears. It's too hard.

Rushuang closes her eyes and has a rest for a while, then comes to the door to see the movement in the room, and sees Xiali's every move. She quietly comes to gongliangche's courtyard. At this time, gongliangche is investigating the wedding ceremony in the room. On the day of the wedding ceremony, Rushuang comes and puts down the flower list.

"What's the matter with Li Er?"

Rushuang then approached gongliangche and reported to him what he had seen and heard.

"You go back first. I'll arrange it. You'll keep it a secret for the time being."

"Yes, your highness." Rushuang retreated.

Gong liangche thought for a while, then came to Lianghua palace with the roster.In the palace, the imperial concubine was holding a pair of flower scissors to trim all kinds of petals. After a while, a piece of petals and leaves fell on the ground. Some branches were cut off by the flower scissors, and the whole plant was rotten on the ground.

"Mother, you have cut off your favorite flower. This is a rare variety that you have cultivated for several years. " Gong liangche looks at the flower branch that falls on the ground miserably. It's a pity in his heart.

"Everyone in the palace knows that this flower is my favorite. No matter whether it's windy or rainy, I always fertilize, water and weed it day by day. It's a pity that one day I looked up at other flowers, but all of them failed. Some of them pulled out yellow leaves and a piece of Xiaotiao."

"I realized in an instant that if I waste all my energy on this flower, I will have no energy to look after other flowers, and the yard will be deserted. If I want to have a full garden of spring, I naturally have to look after the whole flower garden, and use my energy evenly on all the flowers to get the fragrance of the garden."

"Che'er, if you only put all your bets on one woman, are you sure you can protect her all her life? If the superior kills you and her, it's like killing an ant. Is your love so cheap? "

With a click, Xi Jingyao cuts off the only flower left in the flowerpot again. The petals fall on the ground in a mess. She raises her feet and tramples on the petals. The petals are in a mess.

Gong liangche's eyes fell on the petals that had been trampled in a mess, and he bowed deeply: "my son is taught."

"What inspired you?" The good imperial concubine Xi Jing Yao Mou son lightly lifts, cold voice asks.

"The concubine teaches her children that they should sit on the throne and become the superior. Only in this way can they protect the people they want to protect. Otherwise, they can only become ants crushed to death by others."

"Li'er is just an ordinary person, not natural beauty. She never forced her children to choose her. She didn't even want to have anything to do with her children. In this life, her greatest wish is to live happily and steadily."

"My son's minister is willing to fulfill her wish. If she is good, it means my son's minister is good. I hope my mother and concubine can fulfill her wish."

Gong liangche said, kneeling on the ground, kowtow to Xi Jingyao, head pillow on the petals scattered on the ground, body also stained with petals.

Xi Jingyao took a deep breath and put the flower scissors beside the flowerpot. The maid brought her hands to the copper basin. She put her hands in the copper basin and washed them. The handkerchief on the edge of the copper basin wiped them clean. She threw the handkerchief into the water. She waited for the maid to step back and then looked at Gong liangche.

"Che'er, are you doubting the woman who pushed you?"

She went to Gong liangche's side and helped him up in person. "Look at Wei Niang's eyes and say it yourself."

Gong liangche raised his head and looked at the woman who was forty years old, but still had a lingering charm. Her eyes were clear and calm. He reached out and hugged Xi Jingyao, close to her heart. Listening, she was calm, and there was no sign of tension.

Xi Jingyao looks at Gong liangche's little actions, but she still hugs him with all her strength. Her good son, this is the first time that he comes back and takes the initiative to hold her. Her heart is slightly sour, not for the woman named Xia Li.

For a long time, they separated.

Gong liangche salutes Xi Jingyao respectfully, "it's ER Chen who has offended her mother. Er Chen believes her mother. This incident is not done by her."

"In any case, the mother's concubine is a suspect. Che'er, what you're doing now, you have to convince people by reason and stress the facts and evidence before you can convince the public. You need to find out a result about this matter. Besides, you went back to the palace a year ago and were stabbed. What's more, you have something to look up?"

Xi Jingyao asked with concern.

"Huimu imperial concubine, the key people who assassinated Er Chen a year ago were masked people. After they were caught by Er Chen, they took poison and killed themselves. Their bodies were powdered by weathering. They were sentenced to suicide by Er Chen's relatives, and the clues were broken."

When Xi Jingyao heard the speech, she closed her eyes deeply and opened them again. Her eyes were desolate. "Everything was planned in advance, so how could it leave any trace."

"There are some clues. The token left by the killer's clothes on the road is not turned into powder. It's the token of the enemy's killer. Fortunately, we rescued a killer before he took poison. Now he is in prison, but he cruelly cut off his tongue and refused to say anything."

Gong liangche wry smile: "are all headless cases, want to try out the results, difficult."

"Then slowly check, there will always be a barefoot day, this time push Xiali down, just a few girls, the palace has tied up people, trial for a night, used hypnosis, they all responded, but not them, this is forbidden in the palace, the mother can only use quietly."

"The people you're looking for may know kung fu." Xi Jingyao said, took out a sugar bean, "this is the palace's confidants, found in the steps."

Gong liangche took the sugar bean and frowned: "it's easy for people with martial arts skills to deal with a woman. If they don't want to be noticed, they can only be people near Li'er."

"My son will find out the murderer as soon as possible." Gong liangche said, ready to go out.
