"It's true, but …" His tone changed and he paused for a moment, causing her pores to stand on end. However, the two words seemed to be saying that he was going to beat her up.

"But what?" Anxious to know the answer, she tugged at Ximen Ruixue's sleeve and asked.

"The empress was certain that you were the one who poisoned you, so she insisted on executing you."

"Not me, not me." Ru Zhiruo shouted anxiously. After a moment of anxiousness, her voice also turned hoarse.

"But no one can prove your innocence." He ignored her shaking and stood still in front of her.

She powerlessly let go of his sleeve. That's right, no one can prove her innocence, your majesty, although you treat her well, you have caused her to suffer, causing her to fall into a trap that she can never escape. She no longer has freedom, she is even on the verge of death.

She sat down in front of Xi Men Ruoxue and looked at his cloud boots. Her fingers unconsciously lifted a golden line on top of the boots. It was really pretty. She looked even better at other people's boots now.

She was going to die.

Because she really couldn't find anyone to prove her innocence.

Pulling off the golden threads from his boots, she twisted them around on her fingers, as if she was trying to dispel the fear of death.

Suddenly, something fell out of the sleeve with a clank.

The two of them looked over at the same time with their sharp eyes. "Where did it come from?"

She remembered. Idiot, if this thing hadn't fallen out by itself, she really would have forgotten. "It was given to me by the Emperor. Say that no one can kill me like this." Now, as long as I don't die, it's all right.

Everyone liked to live. It was better to die than to live. It was better to live. One could look at the sun, the green tree, mother, second brother, and the person in front of him …

"Ruo Ruo, you're finally saved. Give it to me, I'll give it to the empress." Xi Men Rui Xue reached out her hand, waiting for Zhiruo to pick up the death-saving order and hand it to him.

She happily picked it up and was about to hand it over to him, but a dignified voice immediately came from outside the cell. "Who knows if it was her who stole the emperor's hand?"

"Ah …" Ruo Ruo cried out. 'This is such a huge injustice!' She turned her gaze towards where the girl had come from. Her head was starting to hurt. 'Why can't I escape, can't I?'

When she looked at Yun Ru Xi, it was the same moment Yun Ru Xi looked at Xi Men Rui Xue.

Yun Ru Xi's unsmiling face was filled with coldness. If he knew, she wouldn't let him go. She had set this up meticulously so that she could die.

She dejectedly thought that since the Emperor was not dead, then she would still be the Empress. However, looking at how Ximen Ruixue had respected her, she feared that she would not have much luck.

"Ruoxi, it doesn't matter if she stole it or not. As long as she has a death saving order, no one can execute Xi Jin. Otherwise, there will be retribution."

What retribution?

When Ruo Ruo heard this, she felt like she was about to cry.

However, Xi Men Rui Xue's words made Yun Ruxi's brows knit together, as if she really wanted to kill her. If that happened, then she, Yun Ruxi, would have her retribution.

It seemed that Xi Men Rui Xue had been good to her.

He was saving her.

Her heart that had just sunk down once again rose up. She shouldn't die, because from Yun Ru Xi's current expression, she knew that Yun Ru Xi was afraid of some useless trash's retribution.

Yun Ru Xi coldly turned to her and stared at her for three seconds before saying, "Rui Xue, don't forget what you promised me. You handle it. I'll just wait for the letter."

"Alright." After Xi Men Rui said that in a low voice, she watched Yun Ru leave unhappily with a flick of her sleeve.

If he couldn't kill her, then Yun Ruoxi wouldn't be happy.

If he didn't know how she had offended Yun Ru Xi and he couldn't understand, then he wouldn't think too much about it. He turned to look at Xi Men Rui Xue, she was no longer nervous, he was the one who did not want Yun Ru Xi to kill him, so he would definitely not make things difficult for himself, "Crown Prince, take care of it, if it is up to you." She still owed him her life, so she let him deal with her as he pleased.

Silence.

It was very quiet.

He didn't say anything. He just looked at her quietly.

That gaze made her somewhat uncomfortable. "Ximen Ruixue, speak up. Are you mute?" She was not the least bit afraid of him. It did not matter if he was the crown prince or not, he had never done anything to her even though she had poured chili concoction all over his face. She thought to herself, 'Heh heh, sometimes I think he's cute, I don't hate him. Some...

Heavens, when he was going to deal with her like this, she actually thought that she might have some … Some of them like him a little bit...

I like it, but it's not love. Who let him save her.

As his thoughts were running wild, Ximen Rui slowly bent down. His entire body was still as white and clean as ever. On the other hand, Ximen Rui's entire body was covered with straw and was in an extremely sorry state.

He was standing right in front of her, so handsome that she could only stare blankly at him.

It was that heart-stirring feeling again.

His heart was beating rapidly.

Heavens, she couldn't control herself. She seemed to really like him.

Did he really agree with the words' men aren't bad, women don't love '?

No, she couldn't like him.

However, when she thought of this, she was still unable to tear her gaze away from his face.

While she was staring at him, his hand slowly touched her face. As his finger moved slightly, he whispered into her ear, "Ruo Ruo, you have two choices. Do you want to go to the Fragrant Pavilion or marry third brother?"

Blinking her eyes, she tried her best to recollect the words that he had just said. Then, she became dumbfounded.

"You … What did you say? " If she went, her identity would change and she would no longer be Third Miss Qin. Although being Third Miss Qin was not a good thing, it was still better than being in a brothel for a while. She did not want to stay in a place like that for years, but she absolutely did not want to marry Xi Men Rui.

In Xi Men Rui's heart, Xi Men Wu thought that Ji was another girl. He was a real fool. He was no longer the prince Xi Men Rui Xue pretended to be. How could she be happy if she married him?

She really didn't want to choose either one.

"Say it, do you want to go to the Fragrant Pavilion or marry third brother?"

She shook her head, then shook it again. She was so panicked that tears were about to flow out.

None of them could be chosen.

That would not be the happiness of her life.

"Ruo Ruo, you have to choose one. If you don't, I'll help you choose one." He was standing right in front of her. His snow-white clothes made him look dazzling and handsome, but he was forcing her to choose a multiple choice question that she didn't want to choose.
