Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Murong Xiu looked startled.

But Liang Zhirou looked at him steadily and repeated: "My lord, the person you care about most is Lan Bin, right?"

Murong Xiu's eyes flickered: "You...why did you say that?"

"When the prince was unconscious, he called Lan Bin's name." Liang Zhirou looked a little gloomy, "You called... Lan'er."

Murong Xiu was startled, then lowered his eyes and said nothing.

He is in a very confused mood now. ?.??????.???

What happened in the palace today was like a nightmare. If Concubine Rong hadn't stepped forward, Nie Yulan would have been killed by her father.

But Rong Bin...

is innocent.

He grasped the brocade quilt tightly with his fingers and squeezed out a word from his throat in a hoarse voice.

"Ah."

Liang Zhirou's breathing was stagnant.

Although she had known this result for a long time, Liang Zhirou still felt extremely sad when she heard him admit it personally.

At the same time, there is an unconcealable loneliness.

Murong Xiu must have loved Lan Bin very deeply, otherwise he would not have taken such a risk to be with her.

Murong Xiu spoke slowly.

"Father, did he...did he say how he would deal with me? Did he want to execute me?"

Although he was mentally prepared, he was still afraid when it came to death.

As soon as Murong Xiu finished speaking, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.

Then a servant ran in.

"Your Majesty, the holy... royal decree is here!"

Murong Xiu's face turned pale, then he stood up from the bed and was about to go out. He paused and suddenly turned his head to look at Liang Zhirou beside him.

"Zhirou, let me give you a letter of peace... If I really cannot escape, you will be trapped under the title of Princess Duan for the rest of your life and will never be able to escape."

He treated her badly when he was alive, but he can no longer drag her down when he is dead.

Liang Zhirou just said softly.

"Your Majesty, go and receive the order."

After that, he walked out the door first.

Murong Xiu looked hesitant for a moment and could only follow and walked out.

Wang Defu was standing outside. When he saw the two men coming out to kneel to greet them, he opened the imperial edict.

Murong Xiu lowered his head and listened to the last word without saying a word. The more he listened, the more surprised and suspicious his expression became.

"...In consideration of Wang Duan's benevolence and filial piety, I have decided to demote him to a commoner. From today on, he will no longer enjoy the title and salary, and will be expelled from the palace..."

Emperor Renjing did not execute him.

Murong Xiu knelt down, raised his hands, and received the imperial edict.

Wang Defu handed over the imperial edict, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he shook his head, turned around and left with the people.

After the people left, Murong Xiu was still a little unable to relax.

I thought I was going to die...

Unexpectedly, he was spared his life.

A low sobbing sound came from beside him, which brought Murong Xiu back from his thoughts.

He turned his head and saw Liang Zhirou's tears falling down one by one, as if she had been holding back for a long time.

"My lord...it'll be fine if nothing happens."

It turned out that she was worried that he would die because of this.

Murong Xiu's heart was extremely complicated.

He reached out and held Liang Zhirou's hand. He felt it was cold and couldn't help but hold it tighter.

"Zhirou, I'm sorry..."

"My lord, it's not me who should apologize, but the two people in the palace."

Hearing this, Murong Xiu looked startled.

Yes, Lan Bin and Rong Bin.

He suffered miserably.

Especially Rong Bin, he and Nie Yulan owed her their lives.

But Liang Zhirou, wasn't she let down by him?

If he had seen the reality clearly from the beginning and not entangled Lan Bin, and lived peacefully with Liang Zhirou, he would not be in this situation today.

Now, it's too late to say anything.

"It's all my fault, Zhirou. If you don't want to be with me... you can make peace with me. You can go back and continue to be your servant's daughter."

"My lord, can you still see my heart clearly to this day?"

Liang Zhirou smiled sadly: "If I didn't want to, why did I dive into the water to save you without hesitation, and why did I marry you even though I knew you didn't like me.

Prince, I have actually been in love with you for many years, even earlier than you know... Do you know that when you admire others, there are actually people who admire you like this? "

Murong Xiu was very moved by what she said.

"Zhirou, although I have nothing now, in the future... I will treat you well in the future."

Liang Zhirou took out her hand.

She turned her head, looked at the pale sky, and said slowly.

"will you like me?"

This sentence stunned Murong Xiuwen.

like?

He didn't know if he would like Liang Zhirou, but at least until today, he had sympathy, regret, and guilt for Liang Zhirou.

Only there was no feeling of liking.

Liang Zhirou looked at him steadily. Seeing Murong Xiu's hesitant expression, the original brightness in her eyes dimmed inch by inch.

"Your Majesty loves beauties. I'm asking this...it's really rude."

Murong Xiu looked complicated.

"Zhirou...I, I am very confused. Too many things happened today."

"Not only is the prince upset, but I am also confused. Such a big thing has happened. Even if the prince has me in his heart, I'm afraid he won't be able to go on with me peacefully."

What's more, he doesn't have her in his heart.

Liang Zhirou smiled.

"My lord, between you and me... we may be destined to have no fate."

After saying that, she prayed towards Murong, then turned around and left the yard.

As soon as she stepped out of the yard, she seemed to have lost all her strength and almost fell to the ground.
