On the other hand, after the matter in the Purple Palace was over and Concubine Xie was taken away, the emperor turned around and left.

As soon as he left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The queen withdrew her gaze from the high platform and turned to leave. She walked past Chu Heyi, her eyes fixed on Chu Heyi's face. There was coldness and anger in her eyes.

She walked past Chu Heyi and came to Xie Lin again. This time, she stopped on purpose and looked at Xie Lin deeply.

When he glanced over, there seemed to be thick ice in his eyes that could not melt even for a thousand years.

There were obviously a lot of people in the Zichen Hall, but when the two of them looked at each other, it seemed as if they were the only ones there. The intense hatred seemed to have been condensed for more than ten years, and there was no third person who could get involved.

Xie Lin looked at her in silence.

The queen didn't say a word. She just stared at him for a long time and then walked away. The maids, eunuchs and palace maids immediately followed her.

The queen was still the same queen, with her head held high, dignified and graceful. Dozens of people followed her. Wherever she went, she was a huge presence and no one dared to look at her directly.

Everyone in the palace knelt down and shouted in unison: "Farewell, Queen."

Not until the Queen's figure disappeared did the others stand up and leave the Zichen Hall one after another.

Among the many people, Chu Heyi saw that only Wen Tingshen stopped beside Xie Lin and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing, just patted him on the shoulder and walked out.

Outside the Zichen Palace, the sun was shining brightly, but inside the palace, there was still a slight spring chill. Xie Lin stood in the shadow the entire time, without moving.

Chu Heyi took a deep breath, walked slowly to his side, looked at his face, and said softly: "I know your suffering. If you need, I am willing to walk with you."

The man in front of me had been suffering from illness since he was a cradle and had lived to the age of twenty with difficulty. I thought the illness was congenital, but it turned out that he was poisoned by his closest relatives.

He ignored the attacks from behind, stepped out from where no one could see him, and stood in front of everyone regardless of everything, just wanting an answer.

Who can give him an answer, why did they give birth to him and then treat him like this?

He was confused, angry, and even aggrieved.

But no one gave him an answer. He walked on this road with difficulty, but was assassinated many times... and almost lost his life several times.

But today, his biological sister said frankly that she had no sibling feelings towards him and was willing to die for the person who wanted to kill him behind his back...

His confusion, anger and grievance reached its peak at that moment and almost burst through his body.

Only Chu Heyi knew that he was restraining himself, trying his best to restrain himself. She thought, if at that moment, Concubine Xie turned back and did not die for that man, Xie Lin would definitely try his best to save Concubine Xie's life.

But Concubine Xie did not look back, and even stabbed Xie Lin fiercely with a knife. The invisible knife pierced his heart, and in a place where no one could see, he bled profusely.

Thinking of this, the pain in Chu Heyi's eyes became more intense.

I couldn't help but add: "I am willing to walk with you all the way to where you want to go. If you don't stop, I won't stop."

It was just like in their previous life when they withdrew from Shengjing City and walked hand in hand towards Changqing City, walking and walking. The sky was full of snow and they faced it together and fought against it hand in hand.

Xie Lin finally raised his eyes to look at her. The girl was standing at the junction of light and darkness. Although she was facing away from the light, her eyes were very bright.

Her gentle eyes were like a warm current that passed through his heart that was full of broken ice.

The coldness in his body and heart slowly faded away, and he finally had a little strength, "I'll go and see Lady Xie off. After all, she is a member of the Xie family, you don't have to worry about me."

This is just an excuse.

It is said that a dying person's words are good. He wanted to ask Concubine Xie a question before she died.

The answer to the question might be ugly, and he hasn't figured out how to face it yet. He doesn't want Chu Heyi to go with him.

Xie Lin added: "The iron hook you brought with you this time is very useful. There must be many people waiting for you in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."

Chu Heyi touched the iron hook hanging around her waist. It was given to her by Zheng Yizhao not long ago. She had tried it before and found it very useful for climbing walls and trees. It came in handy this time.

She would reward him well later. The child liked braised pork and chicken legs, so she decided to ask the kitchen staff to make more for him when she got home.

Chu Heyi thought of his two sisters again, and said, "I don't know how badly they are injured. I'm going to go back first. Please leave the palace early after you send Concubine Xie off. I'll visit you another day."

Xie Lin nodded slightly and watched Chu Heyi leave. Seeing her figure shrink into a dot and gradually disappear, he withdrew his gaze and walked towards the harem, but was soon stopped by someone.

He was a minister and the harem was full of the emperor's women. How could he go there?

"Please inform Eunuch Yao that Xie Lin wants to give Concubine Xie a ride, which will also be considered as the fulfillment of the brother-sister relationship in this life."

Xie Lin is now the Lord Chief Justice, a favorite of the Emperor, and the most famous and powerful minister in Shengjing City. No one dares to look down on him wherever he goes, not even the eunuch chief Yao An.

Xie Lin said, "The emperor is very angry right now, and only Eunuch Yao can persuade him. If Eunuch Yao helps, Xie Lin can go see the noble for the last time, and Xie Lin will owe Eunuch Yao a favor."

"Thank you for your courtesy, sir. I will report to the emperor right away." Yao An bowed and took a few steps back before turning around and leaving.

I don't know what he said, but in the end the emperor agreed to let Xie Lin see Concubine Xie off for the last time.

Concubine Xie had been dragged into the cold palace. When Xie Lin arrived, the palace servants had already brought over a tray with a three-foot white silk on it.

The palace maid greeted Xie Lin, who said, "The Emperor has allowed me to have a few words with the noble. Please wait outside for a while."

He took out some silver from his bosom and handed it over. After the eunuchs took it, they temporarily left.

The gorgeous clothes that Concubine Xie was wearing had been stripped off, leaving only a white inner garment. There was no hair ornament on her black hair, which was completely hanging down.

Her face was pale, but she did not show any sign of retreat. It was obvious that she was already prepared to die.

She looked at Xie Lin, smiled bitterly, and took the initiative to speak: "You are not here to see me off as a relative. You have something to ask me. Am I right, Mr. Xie?"

Xie Lin's expression remained unchanged, his eyes were cold: "Mr. Xie, that person has the evidence against you, so you are willing to die for her. How about we make a deal, you tell me your secrets, and I will find a way out for you."

Lady Xie's eyes suddenly became sharp and she looked at him inquiringly.

Although I am prepared to die, who can face death without any fear?

Xie Lin said in a steady voice: "I can also promise you that no matter what the secret is, I will protect the Xie family and Princess Anding with my own life."
