Zhu Sijia was detained in Changle Palace for a few days, and one after another heard the whole story of the night of the Lantern Festival from the palace people.
The cause was a play that should not have been seen in the world. The troupe of more than 30 people was killed in the bustling city under Yan Xiu's order.
The troupe leader begged for mercy and told Yan Xiu that there was someone behind the scenes.
Yan Xiu originally wanted to bypass them and die, but the class leader hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain the reason. He only said that the person who ordered him was a noble prince who used a mask to show others, and there was nothing more.
Yan Xiu thought he was telling nonsense, and in a rage, he directly ordered the execution.
The people present in Xijing City were so frightened that they fled in all directions.
And this play was actually adapted from a book written by Zhu Ya. No wonder Yan Xiu wanted to punish her to death.
Zhu Sijia has not read the book written by Zhu Ya. Everything in the book is fiction, and the section "Surrounding Wei and Rescue Zhao" is not what the theater troupe performed. But how come everything has changed when it comes to the stage?
It was clear that someone was using a borrowed knife to kill someone, and Zhu Sijia was the first to suspect Yan Xing.
Zhu Ya has also had trouble sleeping these past few days.
She knew that she had made a huge mistake and implicated so many innocent people, and her conscience was uneasy.
She simply wanted to promote the culture of her motherland in this strange time and space, lest one day she would really forget her home, so she did not dare to take credit when writing the book, and it would be circulated honestly under the name of the original author.
Unexpectedly, the allusion of going out to rescue Wei and Zhao was actually used by someone with ulterior motives, causing the city of Xijing to bleed into a river of blood overnight.
Changle Palace is deserted.
Zhu Sijia and Zhu Ya were sitting in front of the charcoal basin making charcoal to keep warm. She fiddled with the charcoal in the charcoal basin and looked at Zhu Ya with a wry smile:
"Zhu Ya, this matter has nothing to do with you and me. You don't need to blame yourself too much. If you really feel sorry for yourself, wait until the confinement is over and we will secretly burn some paper money to the wronged souls of Wang's class."
"And...there is no need to write those books again in the future."
Zhu Ya lost her mind, lowered her head and said dejectedly: "Okay, I promise Jieyu that I won't write anymore, and I will never write again in the future."
She asked Zhu Sijia: "Jieyu, Your Majesty is really angry this time. Have you decided how to live your life in the future?"
The most important thing for a woman in the palace is to be favored. Zhu Scarlett's background is not good-looking enough. Once she falls out of favor, how many people will completely drag her into the quagmire?
Zhu Sijia sighed: "Being with a king is like being with a tiger. Just take it one step at a time. I should have expected that this day would come sooner or later. I just implicated Mr. Bai and was punished. I really feel bad about it."
"Right now, I'm more worried about our shops. You won't be able to leave the palace in the future. What should we do with our shops?"
Zhu Ya: "Jieyu, you can rest assured. Although I can't go out, I have taught them everything I need to teach them."
Zhu Scarlett: "Okay, since we are grounded, we will stay in the palace peacefully and not think about other things. You can go to bed first."
On the other side, Tai Chi Palace.
Yan Xiu was also not feeling well these days.
The words he said to Zhu Sijia in front of Xuanwu Gate on Yuan Yuan night, he realized afterwards that they seemed too cruel.
He had never punished her so severely, but when he returned to Xuanwumen in Haishi and found that Bai Heng was the only one there, his heart clenched tightly.
On the night of Shangyuan, there are many people and the city of Xijing is turbulent and dangerous. What will happen if Zhu Sijia accidentally gets lost with Bai Heng? Could he have been kidnapped? She is so beautiful, will she meet someone unruly?
That's why he went back to the palace in a hurry and called the armored guards. If Zhu Sijia didn't show up, he would have Xijing City turned upside down to find her.
Fortunately, she was back, but it was a pity that she dared to lie to herself. If she had honestly told him that she had deliberately thrown away Bai Heng, he would not have been so angry.
If she is not given enough lessons, she will only become more and more emboldened, and one day she will be harmed without even knowing it.
What bothered him even more was the silver thread Yan Wei gave him.
It belonged to the prince and was picked up in the imperial garden. Yan Wei told him what he saw and heard at the Laba Banquet.
Yan Xing, Yan Xing again, when Zhu Sijia was still in the Northland, Yan Xing and Zhu Siyi had a vigorous love that ignored the world. He had also heard about it, and he never believed that Zhu Sijia would have an affair with Yan Xing.
Someone must have deliberately planned to frame her.
Thinking so, Yan Xiu couldn't help it, and wanted to give her a second chance, so he went to Changle Palace.
I wish Scarlett was still awake.
She still couldn't change her habit of leaving the windows wide open. Yan Xiu stopped in front of the dormitory door for a long time, watching her silently from behind.
The candlelight in the dormitory was dim. Zhu Sijia sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at herself carefully. She touched the face in the mirror with all kinds of melancholy: "Zhu Sijia, besides this face, what else do you have? What else can you do? Woolen cloth."
How come she started belittling herself again in just a few days?
If you don't even want to pity yourself, how can you pity and like others?
Yan Xiu deliberately stepped forward, walked behind her, closed the window for her with one hand, and looked at her with cold eyes:
"I wish Jieyu, I will give you another chance."
"Shang Yuanye, where have you been?"
His sudden appearance made Zhu Sijia frightened. Fortunately, fortunately, she had always been cautious and didn't say anything more that she shouldn't have said just now when she was so sad.
But you must not tell Yan Xiu about going to Baiweizhai, otherwise you will miss the mark.
Zhu Sijia: "Back to Your Majesty, Shangyuan Yechen's concubine was walking around the West Market on her own and didn't go anywhere she shouldn't have gone."
That drama must have pierced Yan Xiu's heart like a thorn, and also stepped on his bottom line as an emperor.
Although he didn't say it, he must be suspicious of her relationship with Yan Xing.
Yan Xiu: "Then why did you get rid of Bai Heng?"
Although Zhu Sijia lowered her head, her tone was extremely firm: "I said it, I didn't do it intentionally."
Yan Xiu pinched her chin: "Cicada, you know, you won't lie at all."
The fact that she opened a restaurant in Xijing had been reported to him by the Dragon Guard a long time ago, and he also specifically ordered that there be no need for strict investigation.
He turned a blind eye to this extent. At this moment, she told the truth and would not be punished at all.
Frankness is the most important thing between husband and wife. Why is she unwilling to be honest with herself?
Looking back at the depth of their love, she never took the initiative to say a word of love, but he took the initiative to mention it. Could it be that in her heart, she was so unbearable that she had not been touched after being together for so long?
Yan Xiu's eyes were scarlet, filled with sour tears. He tried to hold back the tears. He was so fragile that he said sarcastically to himself:
"In order to defraud the Tiger Talisman, Lord Xinling gave his lover to King Wei; what about Cicada? Why was Cicada sent to me in Qiu Lie? All of this is really a coincidence, and there is no sincerity in it. ?"
Zhu Sijia's voice was mute, and she was the first to look at him with tears: "I have something to hide, please Your Majesty, please don't be aggressive."
"Your Majesty has clearly read about the siege of Wei and the rescue of Zhao. He clearly knows that there is nothing wrong with the book written by Zhu Ya. That day you said, 'You don't know the origin of love, but it goes deeper.' Do you really think that I can't tell? Have you also read her book? ?”
