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

Chapter 300 How could it be you?

Shen Ruoxi lay on the bed and gradually fell asleep in the middle of the night.

I woke up early the next morning and saw no one on my pillow.

Murong Heng did not return home all night.

She turned around slightly and saw Taoye standing by the bed, her eyes slightly red.

"Crown Princess..."

Shen Ruoxi stood up slightly.

"what happened?"

"Princess, slave... I want to see little Yuzi..."

Taoye said, her voice gradually lowered.

She also knew this was inappropriate.

Xiao Yuzi is now a repeat offender and she cannot visit him.

But I was really sad and couldn't let go after thinking about it all night.

Everything was like a nightmare, but it was dawn, but I still hadn’t woken up from the dream.

Shen Ruoxi's beautiful face showed a hint of exhaustion.

She stood up slowly.

"Undress me."

She reached out and patted the back of Taoye's hand: "I know that your friendship with Xiao Yuzi is a little more than ordinary people. If you want to go, just come with me."

"Yes, thank you, Princess!"

Taoye wiped away her tears and quickly changed Shen Ruoxi's clothes. After a brief wash, Shen Ruoxi took a few people from the palace and went out.

It snowed heavily overnight, and it was completely white outside. The locust tree in front of the door had its branches broken due to the weight of the snow.

Wei Tingshan stood at the door, instructing the palace people to shovel the snow. The snow in front of the palace had melted away, creating a spacious road.

Seeing her coming out, Wei Tingshan came over immediately.

"Princess, it's freezing out here, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I can't sleep." Shen Ruoxi stared at him, met his bloodshot eyes, and said slowly, "Eunuch Wei seems to have been awake all night."

Wei Tingshan lowered his head and sighed.

Shen Ruoxi said warmly.

"I am going to the secret room to take a look. Please lead the way."

"Princess, do you want to go there?" Wei Tingshan immediately waved his hand, "You'd better not go to that place, so as not to be frightened."

"I'm not that weak. If my father-in-law doesn't lead the way, then I will go find it myself."

Hearing this, Wei Tingshan hesitated for a moment and then compromised.

Secretly, he also wanted to know how Xiao Yuzi was doing now.

Shen Ruoxi followed Wei Tingshan, bypassed the front hall of the East Palace, passed through the front yard, and reached the back hall, and then came to a small courtyard.

The yard was deserted, located in a remote corner of the backyard.

Looking over, I saw several houses in a row inside. .

From the outside, it looks a bit quiet and depressing, which is in sharp contrast to the glorious appearance of the East Palace.

Shen Ruoxi was a little surprised.

She never knew that there was a place like this in the East Palace.

The two men guarding the door were upright, and they looked like they were very skilled.

Shen Ruoxi didn't know the two of them, but saw them bowing their hands towards her.

"Princess."

"Where is the prince?"

"His Royal Highness has not come out yet. The Crown Princess can go to the hall next to her and wait."

Shen Ruoxi asked next.

"Where's Xiao Yuzi?"

Hearing this, the two looked at each other, somewhat unsure of how to speak.

At this moment, a room inside was suddenly opened.

Murong Heng walked out with Leng Ye.

Seeing Shen Ruoxi's figure, he immediately walked over quickly.

When the two people guarding the door saw this, they immediately stepped aside.

The expression on Murong Heng's handsome face gradually softened.

"Why are you here?"

When Shen Ruoxi saw him, she was slightly startled.

The expression on Murong Heng's face was as calm as usual, but his eyes were full of evil intent that had not faded away. Although he was trying his best to suppress it, there were still traces of it.

Her nose was sensitive and she could smell the faint smell of blood on his cloak.

It seems that extraordinary torture was used.

Murong Heng noticed her emotions and was about to stay away when she held her hand.

"Aheng, what's wrong?"

Murong Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and then held her hand.

"I told you some unimportant information, but I won't say how much important information was revealed from me."

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"If you don't tell him here, there will be no way to pry open his mouth, and there will be no point in continuing the interrogation."

This means that Xiao Yuzi will be executed.

Shen Ruoxi's heart sank. Although she felt complicated, she still didn't speak.

He poisoned Murong Heng and deserved death.

"Your Highness..."

Tao Ye's slightly trembling voice came from the side: "Slave...can I go in and see him?"

"you?"

Murong Heng's expression darkened.

Tao Ye was trembling, originally thinking that he would not agree, but she saw Murong Heng pondering for a moment.

"can."

After that, he gestured towards Leng Ye: "Go and deal with it."

The scene inside was too bloody now, and she was afraid she would be fainted if she went in.

Leng Ye nodded, turned around and entered the room again. After a while, he came back.

Leng Shuang looked at Tao Ye.

"I'll take you there."

"……it is good."

Taoye followed her.

As soon as I opened the door, I stepped on water stains on my feet. The floor was wet. It was obvious that it had just been cleaned.

But it still couldn't hide the smell of blood inside. The strong smell of blood lingered and almost made Tao Ye vomit.

She calmed down slightly, and after taking a closer look, she realized that there was quite a lot of space inside.

Outside was a low table and a fire, and opposite was a small room with some instruments of torture. Before Tao Ye could take a closer look, his view was blocked by the cold frost.

She motioned to the side.

"He's there."

Taoye turned around and saw a narrow cell next to it, in which a person was leaning softly at the moment.

The hair is messy and the clothes are torn.

He lowered his head slightly and remained motionless.

It seemed like he was out of breath.

If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't even know it was Xiao Yuzi.

Leng Shuang said: "I'll go out and wait. If anything happens, just call me."

Taoye nodded, and after Leng Shuang went out, she walked over slowly.

"Xiao Yuzi..."

The almost dying person inside finally made some movement.

Xiao Yuzi opened his eyes and slowly turned his head to look over.

The moment she met his eyes, Taoye trembled slightly.

But within one night, he seemed to have died. His eyes were gray, his face was stained with blood, his lips were pale, and his face was bloodless.

The moment he saw Tao Ye, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

But soon, that light dimmed.

"Is it really you? Xiao Yuzi..." Tao Ye bit her lip and shouted to him with some unwillingness, "How could it be you? Xiao Yuzi, tell me, how could it be you!?"

Xiao Yuzi lowered his head and said nothing, as if he didn't hear anything.

Taoye grabbed the fence in front of her and turned her anger and sadness into questions.

"You clearly said that His Highness is very kind to you and that you will always serve His Highness the Crown Prince. Are these words all lies?!"

"You said that Eunuch Wei was very kind to you, and you were glad that His Highness the Crown Prince allowed you to stay in the East Palace, but did you go all the way to stay just to betray His Highness?"

"You also said... that you would stay with me in the East Palace and never leave the East Palace for the rest of your life..."

They had agreed to it for a lifetime, but in the end, he was betrayed.

Taoye pressed her face against the cold fence, her eyes red.

"I really don't want to believe it's you. You are so gentle, considerate, and beautiful. I have always regarded you as..."

After a pause, she whispered: "As my relatives."
