Wan'er, who had been on standby the whole time, stood up angrily and said, "Esteemed wangfei, Shui Long was the one who pushed the Crown Princess down. Wan'er tried to save the Crown Princess, but she was the one who pushed her down and caused the Crown Princess to miscarry. When the Crown Princess was being treated, she ran away. Wan-Er tried to stop her, but she broke her wrist. "Look!" He turned to Wan-Er and showed her his red wrist.
"Shui Ruo, what else do you want to say?" The Queen looked at Shui Ruo and asked coldly.
Shui Long raised his head innocently after hearing what she said, "I was wrongly accused."
"You still want to cry injustice after what has already happened? Do you want me to call another witness? "
She didn't expect Shui Ruo to cry out that it was wrong, and the empress was furious.
"No matter how many witnesses there are, I still feel wronged. If you think I'm guilty, you can lock me up. However, as far as I know, there is a rule in the law that a prisoner cannot be convicted without admitting his guilt if there is insufficient evidence, right? "
"Insufficient evidence?" The empress raised an eyebrow.
"Everyone knows that Wan'er and I have a grudge. Who can believe her? As for the other witness, it should be the young maid who appeared at that time, right? [That is the Crown Princess' man. How can he testify?]
"What do you mean?" The empress interrupted Shui's eloquent words and asked softly.
"What do I mean? Naturally, it was me who was wronged. " Shui Long remained calm.
"What a joke!" At that time, there were only the three of us. If not for you, could it be me? " Seeing that Shui Ruo didn't admit it, Wan'er couldn't help but speak up.
Shui Ruo listened and blinked, "If you say so, I'm not going to refute you."
"You! You are shameless! "
"Alright!" In the throne, the empress frowned and warned the two, then said, "Seventh Brother, what do you think?"
"I think we should first lock up Miss Shui. "The murder of the prince is a huge matter. We'll mention it again tomorrow after the emperor arrives at court. When that happens, His Majesty won't have to fear that she won't plead guilty in the main hall." Seventh Marquis looked at the empress and said innocently.
The empress thought for a moment before nodding, "Since that's the case, we shall lock her up and wait for tomorrow's court hearing before we try it again."
The Queen's words caused the nervous Shui to heave a sigh of relief.
Tomorrow, at least, there would be a chance. As he thought about this, Shui Ruo was quietly escorted to the Sky Prison.
In the dark cell, Water was sitting leisurely on a cushion, looking at the Seventh Prince who was locking the door, with an ice-cold look in his eyes.
"I really didn't expect that you would still be so stubborn after coming to this point." Ye Huangze looked at Shui Long, his tone filled with amusement.
Shui Long heard this and raised his eyes to look at the Night King's marsh, not saying a word. Since the first time they met, Ye Huangze seemed to be full of hostility towards her. It was for the princess consort.
Now even if he were to say anything to him, it would be useless. Rather than listening to his provocation, it was better to remain silent.
Shui You's attitude made the smile on Ye Huangze's face deepen. He looked at Shui Long with a profound gaze, and a trace of ridicule flashed across his eyes.
"I hope you can remain calm after entering the hall tomorrow." With that, Ye Huangze left.
The door was locked. Shui sat in the cell and curled up his body in the darkness.
She hated the dark night.
He hated the night when a person could not see the future.
It was impossible to see the light of day in the Celestial Prison, so she didn't know when or how long it was. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard a soft sigh.
"Who is it?" Shui Ruo, who was about to fall asleep, heard the sound and immediately jumped up, raising his head, only to see that the person who came was standing in front of her, in the darkness, he had a lantern, illuminating the brocade robe he was wearing, the black brocade robe was embroidered with faint patterns, his expression was plain, looking at Shui Ruo indifferently, no one knew what he was thinking about.
"Night Emperor?" Shui Yuehan stared at the newcomer, surprised.
Emperor Ye Xiu rarely came to see her. Perhaps it should be said that she didn't have many opportunities to meet with him. If she wasn't aware that the two of them were trustworthy, she would have thought that there was no relationship between her and the Night Emperor.
Hearing the melodious sound of the water, Night Emperor nodded his head before saying in a soft voice, "It's me."
"Why are you here?" Shui Long was astonished. He looked outside, but there was no response from the surroundings.
"Worried about you." The Night Emperor replied bluntly.
"Worried about me?" Shui Yuehan raised his eyebrows, feeling that something was amiss.
"Yeah, worried about you." The Night Emperor knelt down and looked at the water with a helpless expression. As Shui Ruo looked at him in confusion, his hand was already covering her face. His tone was filled with powerlessness as he asked, "When can you not look at me like that?"
"What do you mean?" Water frowned.
"No. I'll save you. Don't worry about it tomorrow, just do your best. No matter the cost, I will save you. " The Night Emperor looked at Shui Long and said solemnly.
Shui Long listened to what he said and started to panic. What did he mean?
"Don't do anything that worries me anymore. This time, leave the Sky Prison, leave the Crown Prince's Palace." The Night Emperor continued to speak as he looked at Shui Long.
"Alright." Shui Ruo answered straightforwardly. After all, she had been thinking the same thing before. However, when he looked at the Night Emperor cultivator, Shui Ruo couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.
"Then, I'm leaving." The Night Emperor looked deeply into Shui Long's eyes, as though he was unwilling to part with him. And more importantly, there was a sense of helplessness.
Shui Ruo gazed at the back of Night Emperor's figure as if he knew something.
What she didn't know was that after the Night Emperor walked out, he sighed once again.
"Ha!" The dignified Third Marquis actually sighed? If those ministers who feared you to death heard this, they would definitely be shocked, right? "
The man's voice was alluring and somewhat teasing.
When the Night Emperor heard this, his gaze turned cold. His almond-shaped eyes swept in the direction of the man, only to see a man standing under the moon with a lantern in his hand.
His red robe was dyed in fluorescent light, making him look like he was in a dream.
"Why are you here?" The Night Emperor looked at Emperor Shang and asked unhappily.
"Probably for the same reason as you. However, it seems like I don't have to go. " Emperor Shang looked at the Night Emperor and said with a smile.
"Naturally." The attitude of the Night Emperor was stern.
Upon hearing that, Emperor Ye Shang walked over and smiled at him, "Actually, you're not as optimistic as you say, right? She doesn't love you and she doesn't love me. "
As he spoke, he revealed the truth that the Night Emperor didn't want to hear.
As he had said, Shui Long did not love anyone. Even if she said that she wanted to be with him, it was just the result of her thinking. This was the same as his.
However, this was not enough. If this was the case, two people wouldn't be able to reach the end.
How troublesome. She had only wanted to make use of the Shui family at the beginning, but had instead become her captive. As long as she looked at her, no matter what she had in mind, no matter what she wanted to do, she wouldn't be able to make a move.
He could only let her cause trouble, and then he would clean up the mess for her.
The word "love" was always unclear. No matter how you thought in your heart, when love came, you would still be caught off guard because at that time, you would realize that love was far stronger than what he had imagined, so much so that you didn't even know how to express it.
This was sorrow, but it was also happiness.
In a lifetime, to be able to experience such feelings is a blessing, but to change oneself for feelings is sad.
"What is it? He stopped talking? "How boring." Emperor Ye Shang looked at Night Emperor Xiu and saw that he remained silent. His mouth twitched in a somewhat bored manner. He walked around him and entered the Sky Prison.
"Wait! What are you going to do? " When the Night Emperor saw him enter, he hurriedly asked.
Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang turned around, and with a wink he smiled, "Let's go see her, we can pacify her in passing. A person as stupid as you wouldn't possibly pacify her, right? "
With that said, Night Emperor Shang no longer turned his head, and directly entered the Sky Prison. As for the Night Emperor, he blankly stood at the door. Looking at the figure that had already disappeared into the distance, he expressionlessly put on his mask, turned around, and left.
Moonlight shone through the windows of the Sky Prison. The woman was looking out. Although it was still dark, her eyes were sparkling.
"You're really spirited." Outside the door, Night Emperor Shang looked at the water that was jumping up and down in the water, and said with a smile. When he looked at the people inside, the doting look in his eyes was something even he did not know.
Inside, Shui Ruo heard what was said and stopped what he was doing. He turned around and looked at the person coming over with the lantern. He then laughed out loud: "Are all of you princes very idle?"
"This King is not free like the Night Emperor. This King came here in the midst of his busy schedule. Well? Are you moved? " The smile on Night Emperor Shang's face became increasingly brilliant, his delicate features seeming to be able to charm people.
Water looked at him leisurely, and couldn't help but be attracted by him. But in the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal.
She calmly sat on the ground, looked at the man, and solemnly said, "I can't say I'm moved, but it's true that I was saved."
"Hmm? "What do you mean?" Night Emperor Shang raised an eyebrow and sat on the ground, standing at the same level as her.
"I want you to take care of the Shui family for me, don't ask me why. I am very clear that the Third Marquis is very busy. Is the Third Marquis thinking of becoming the Emperor? If the crown prince were to fight with him, it was obvious that the crown prince would win. Thus, he should be in deep trouble. I still remember the first time I saw him. He looked so fragile and bruised. So I don't want to give him any more trouble. "
His voice was low, but it was filled with pity for the Night Emperor.
And as Shui Jiu said those words one by one, on the other side, the smiling face of the previous Emperor Ye Shang finally became expressionless.
Seeing Shui Ruo, Night Emperor Shang suddenly laughed mockingly, "Heh! This is bullying the honest. "
"An honest person?" Shui unhurriedly blinked his eyes as if he didn't know who he was talking about and looked around randomly.
Seeing how unhurried Shui acted and acting in a daze, Night Emperor Shang did not continue to condone her, and only coldly stared at her.
His mind was still thinking about what Shui Ruo had just said. He didn't want to bring trouble to the Night Emperor, so he had to trouble him? Because he couldn't bear to part with the Night Emperor's body, he had to enslave him?
Emperor Shang's eyes dimmed. He stretched his hand through the gap of the prison door and grabbed Shui You's lapel. With a gloomy expression and a hoarse voice, he said, "You … "How long more do you want to use me?"
"Wait until I don't need you." Shui Ruo's face revealed a smile, a bit forced. He did not expect that the normally calm Night Emperor would suddenly be so angry.
However, what she found even more inconceivable was the faint killing intent from the man.
He wanted to kill her the moment he grabbed her.
After she spoke, the killing intent in his body suddenly disappeared.
After the killing intent disappeared, Night Emperor Shang looked at the water for a long time before releasing his grip and laughing.
He was laughing so fiercely that even his tears fell.
Tears flowed down his exquisite face, and as the water flowed down, it gave off a sense of abusive beauty.
"You …" Shui Long opened his mouth to say something, but when the words reached his mouth, there was nothing to say.
"Are you alright?" Shui Long looked at the man and asked in embarrassment.
