in his heart

Chapter 18
Today's play is connected to the previous one.

It's still winter.

The female general wore a shawl and ran straight into the dilapidated palace without stopping.

Several servants inside were rummaging through boxes and chests to search for the good things of their master. A servant whose eyes were swollen from crying rushed over, scolding them while trying to get the things back. Voice: "Xiao Xia, let them go."

"Your Highness! This is specially sent to you by the general... How can we survive the winter without bedding..."

The little servant was crying, and while crying, he rushed forward to snatch back the cloak left by the female general last time, but was pushed to the ground again, and the man spat in disdain: "What are you? Dare to grab it!"

After being pushed down, Xiao Xia immediately rushed forward, grabbing the man's clothes, "You are not afraid that the general will come and beat you to death one by one!"

"Bah! It's been a long time since she came! Maybe she's getting ready to get married! I think you'd better listen to the Seventh Prince, don't stop us... ah!!"

The servant who was speaking suddenly screamed, and someone whipped him on the back, and he was so painful that he almost fainted. When they heard the sound, Xiao Xia suddenly cried and shouted: "General! General! It's coming!"

The rebellious servants hurriedly tried to run away, but the female general whipped them all back with a cold face.

Then there was a sound of begging for mercy in the hall, accompanied by the sound of a leather whip passing through the air and falling hard on the body.

The Seventh Prince from the inner hall came out with his clothes on, and asked the female general to stop with a pale face.

Even though she is the general's daughter, she can't casually kill people in the palace.

In the past, when the Seventh Prince opened his mouth, the female general would have withdrawn her hand, but at this time, the female general who heard the movement turned colder, and her hand was stronger, and she directly tore the servant's clothes with a whip. , blood seeped up.

The Seventh Prince coughed a few times, but still walked over, and firmly held the female general's hand: "Alan, stop."

The female general paused, took a deep breath, and said coldly, "Xiao Xia, take them all out."

Xiao Xia hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, and the other servants ran out with all their hands and feet, regardless of their injuries.

The hall fell silent instantly, the cold wind blew through the dilapidated windows, and the wind seeped in. The female general had a cold face, but the hand held by the Seventh Prince trembled slightly.

"You agree."

As soon as she opened her mouth, the Seventh Prince's body froze instantly.

Although he guessed that she was coming in a menacing way, maybe he knew about it, but at this moment, he still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

That day he lied to her that he was playing chess in the First Prince's Palace, but he had actually met the Regent.

The regent was so ambitious that he even wanted to include him in that plot.

Chu Xian naturally shouldn't, but the regent took advantage of him.

He actually used Song Lan's safety to threaten him into submitting.

Agreed, he will be discarded as an abandoned child one day.

But if you disagree, Song Lan will die.

During those few moments of thinking, Chu Xian actually didn't think about anything else.

It took him a quarter of an hour to recall the Song Lan who talked about the future with him, that, the Song Lan who talked to him countless times about the future.

But at that moment, he clearly heard the sound of the dream shattering.

When the female general saw that he didn't speak, her eyes turned red instantly.

She suppressed the tears in her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Why did you agree... After the matter is done, how can he give you a way out!"

She threw down the whip and grabbed Chu Xian's wrist: "Ah Xian... I'll take you away, let's go... Let's not get involved in their affairs, okay?"

The body of the Seventh Prince whose wrist was held by her was cold, he resisted the violent coughing, and after a while he said softly: "The regent has promised that he will set me free after the matter is completed."

"How can you believe his words! Ah Xian... Ah Xian, you know best, there is no way he can keep you... You come with me now, we still have time!"

That's too late……

Chu Xian thought.

He looked at Song Lan who was already crying unknowingly, gritted his teeth and turned his face away: "Don't persuade me, I won't leave."

...

"Card! It's over!"

Director Wu yelled with a loudspeaker.

The show was filmed in the middle of winter, but in fact it was just autumn. Chu Xian's character was wearing thin clothes, but the female general wore more. As soon as it was over, Zhang Yun stepped forward to take the cloak from Ji Yao.

There was only this one scene this morning. After the filming was over, the work was stopped immediately. The staff began to clean up the venue and prepare for the work in the afternoon.

Ji Yao didn't even have time to change her clothes, so she hurried over to find Director Wu.

"Director Wu, wait!"

The clothes worn by the female general are very convenient, she chased after a few steps and arrived at Director Wu's side: "I have some ideas."

"Huh? What do you think?"

Director Wu was still holding the script in his hand, and while speaking, he pulled her to the side, avoiding blocking the way of the staff.

Ji Yao licked her lower lip, and frowned slightly: "The setting in the play is that the Seventh Prince is still oppressed after becoming the puppet emperor, and lives the same life as before, and is forced to become black after a long time, so we started Regardless of the random will of the people, even Song Lan's life, and did not send troops to help, that's why she was indirectly killed."

Director Wu nodded: "That's right."

"But it's obviously unreasonable to do this. Given how much the Seventh Prince likes the female general now, it's impossible for him to do something that would disregard Song Lan's life. It was also mentioned in the previous play that the reason why he was coerced by the regent is that It's also because he threatened Song Lan."

Director Wu was taken aback, and he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have thought of this.

At the same time, he also understood what Ji Yao wanted to say.

The opportunity for Chu Xian to become black was not enough. If it was only because of being bullied, he should have been blackened in the past so many years, so if he really had to be given a reason to blacken—the only reason was the death of the female general.

So the death of the female general was definitely not his fault, and this incident will become the biggest reason for the blackening of the puppet emperor.

"I understand what you think...but if this is the case, the role of the female general will be cut, do you have any objection?"

The original setting was that after the seventh prince blackened, he indirectly killed the female general. The female general died on the battlefield out of disappointment with him. The scenes behind the general will change to a great extent.

Ji Yao smiled: "The purpose of the scenes is to make the characters more vivid. If there are too many roles, it will affect the plot, so there is no need for so many roles."

Director Wu sighed helplessly in his heart, Ji Yao is indeed different from many artists in the industry, who doesn't film for more roles?Some artists even fought endlessly for one more scene on the set, but when it came to her, they took the initiative to ask for a scene cut.

He raised his hand and patted Ji Yao's shoulder: "Okay, I'll go back and have a good chat with the screenwriter, you should hurry up and change your clothes."

"it is good!"

After the matter was settled, Ji Yao went back to the dressing room.
