"Your Highness, go back and wait. It's freezing cold."

Jinhua put the hair cloak on Yuan Tong'er's body and said softly.

Yuan Tong'er had been standing outside the palace gate looking towards the palace, and then she came back to her senses when she heard Jinhua's voice.

"Auntie, I'm fine... You're not feeling well yet, so go back and rest."

Jinhua shook her head, "How can a slave be so delicate? Your Highness, on the other hand, is already weak. If you are frozen again, even if you get Mr. Lu's trust, you won't be able to delay it, right?"

She said, holding Yuan Tong'er's hand, "It's the same thing if you go back to the house and wait."

Lu Hua and Shi Wuqi also tried to persuade him. Yuan Tong'er sighed and turned around.

When Jiang turned around, he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. Several people stopped again, and Lu Xingzhou dismounted.

Yuan Tong'er ignored the slippery snow and ran two steps towards Lu Xingzhou. Fortunately, Lu Xingzhou caught him and prevented him from slipping.

"How about it?"

Yuan Tong'er asked anxiously.

Lu Xingzhou shook his head.

"He didn't see me. Come to think of it...it's definitely him."

Yuan Tong'er was puzzled.

"He wanted Cen Huan and just robbed her. Why did he put such a charge on her? Could it be that he wanted to kill her? Did he want to repay kindness with revenge? Just because Cen Huan rejected him?!"

The more she talked, the more excited she became. She really couldn't figure out why Yuan Yuan wanted to treat Cen Huan like this.

Lu Xingzhou hurriedly comforted her, "It's not that I want to kill her. You're too anxious. Let's go back and talk, okay?"

Yuan Tong'er also knew that there were many inconveniences outside, so she followed Lu Xingzhou back to her home by default.

Lu Xingzhou continued: "I guess your Majesty wants to use this crime to kill the assassin Cen Huan, but! There will be another bride in the palace."

Only then did Yuan Tong'er react.

Yuan Ruo just wanted to change the situation and completely wipe out Cen Huan, Princess Lian who married his emperor, from this world.

Many emperors in ancient times had this plan. In history, many beautiful women who were famous for generations had to be renounced and forced to "die". Then she changed her face, face, and maiden name, and now she is hidden in the golden house.

Obviously Yuan Ruo also planned this.

Knowing that Cen Huan was no longer in danger, Yuan Tong'er felt relieved. But after a little thought, I felt uneasy.

"But...my sister already has the flesh and blood of the fourth brother, can your majesty really tolerate it? Besides, my sister is willing to stick to the fireworks backyard for the sake of the fourth brother. I think she really wants to live like that...she really wants to live like that now... Do you really want to be His Majesty’s concubine?”

She shook her head. She almost knew Cen Huan's temper, which was no less stubborn than hers. He is even the kind of person who, once determined, will never give up until he hits the wall.

Since Cen Huan had given up Yuan Ruo and followed Yuan Wu long ago, he would definitely follow him until death, not to mention they already had a child.

If Yuan Ruo didn't see them, he would definitely use force on Cen Huan. Yuan Tong'er became anxious again.

"No matter what, we must bring my sister out first. If she personally said that she wanted to follow His Majesty, we wouldn't have to do this...it's just the fourth brother..."

Lu Xingzhou frowned.

"Your thinking is right. It's just that His Majesty doesn't want to see me. He must know that I will definitely go for you.

Besides, Princess Lian was arrested for the crime of assassinating the late emperor. There are very few people in the court who are willing to help Prince Lian, not to mention that she is a concubine with no background..."

Yuan Tong'er breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

It's not that she doesn't understand what Lu Xingzhou said. There are so many things in the world. A person of no use value, no matter how innocent and righteous, can be discarded and turned a blind eye by the world.

In the eyes of others, the arrest of Prince Lian and Princess Lian was nothing more than a slight ripple created by an abandoned child who had been abandoned long ago. After the ripples passed, they would eventually fall to the bottom of the lake.

This is how Prince Lian Yuanwu, who fell out of favor at a young age, should have been, not to mention that his concubine was just a woman with a bad fate.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and Yuan Tong'er's heart became colder.

"...There's always something to do..."

She murmured, but she had already lost her thoughts.

Lu Xingzhou saw that her light-colored pupils seemed to dim, and he was silent for a long time with his eyes lowered.

"...There is one more person..."

He looked up and saw Yuan Tong'er had already looked at him. Although he didn't say anything, Yuan Tong'er seemed to have thought of that person for a long time.

"The only one who can persuade Your Majesty now is Queen Mother Qu... That person will have a way to see Queen Mother Qu."

Prince Yu's Mansion.

Yuan Tong'er stood in front of the mansion, with only the sound of falling snow in her ears.

She seemed to have never noticed that the wealthy family of Prince Yu's Mansion was so high and thick.

I don’t know how long it took, but the thick red door finally opened again, and the butler went out to see the ceremony and said: "Your Highness, my prince...is not here."

"Not there? You made my sister... made His Highness wait for so long to communicate, and now you say you are not here?"

Shi Wuqi became anxious first. As he spoke, he pulled out the long knife and placed it directly on the old butler's neck, shouting: "Are you not here, or do you not want to see me?!"

The old housekeeper was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground.

Yuan Tong'er scolded "Ah Qi!" and entered the house directly regardless of others' obstruction.

Occasionally no time is here, and with the name of Princess Ruian, ordinary palace officials don't dare to stop her.

Yuan Tong'er walked in familiarly, but stopped outside the hall.

The living room, which should have been open to the courtyard during the day, was now tightly closed, and Yuan Tong'er knew that he must be there.

The old housekeeper and the servants gathered around Yuan Tong'er and tried to persuade Yuan Tong'er helplessly.

"Your Highness, it is true that my prince is not here. If you have anything to do, please tell me. I will send someone to deliver the message."

Yuan Tong'er ignored him and just looked at the hall door for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart.

The scenery in the mansion is still the same, just like in the past, but the dead branches and leaves are oppressed by the snow, and there is a hint of silence and desolation.

"I was wrong."

Yuan Tong'er murmured. Suddenly he lifted his robe and knelt down on the ground.

"I was wrong! I shouldn't have taken possession of her body and taken it for granted. I also shouldn't have taken possession of something that should have belonged to her...

It’s me who is greedy, it’s me who is despicable…

But Cen Huan is her sister, do you really have the heart to do nothing to save her? "

She knelt down so suddenly that everyone was almost stunned for a moment, and then they immediately knelt down to her as if they had remembered.

The old housekeeper was so frightened that he lost half of his soul and said: "Your Highness! Your Highness cannot kneel!"

Yuan Tong'er still ignored him and said: "Why can't I kneel down... Since he thinks that I robbed and occupied it, he is putting a life on my body. Since he owes a life, I'm just afraid Even if he kneels down, he can't get rid of his anger..."

She said, raising her voice a little higher.

"As long as the prince is willing to save me, my life is entirely in your hands!"
