Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 530 Mother and child confrontation, side hall torture

The forbidden garden of the imperial palace, green tiles and vermilion walls.

Save the eaves and bucket arches, and the Qionglou of the palace.

The high and low pavilions staggered to reflect the water light, and they passed through the corridors and the heavy palace walls, and came to a brightly lit hall.

The old man was wearing a cloak and standing on the white jade steps, his beard and hair were all white, and there was a tranquility and gentleness beyond the mundane in his vague eyes.

Beside him stood an old eunuch with his shoulders bowed and a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, they are here."

Everyone walked up to them, headed by the eldest princess, bowed to salute, and the old man directly raised his hand, "There are no outsiders, so those who follow the rules of etiquette will be exempted."

He saw Xiao Nan in the crowd with a loving look in his eyes: "Come, come to grandpa."

Xiao Nan stepped forward obediently, and let the Supreme Emperor pull him to ask a lot of questions. Although the answers were concise and concise, most of the time there were only one or two words, but the attitude was acceptable.

"Father, don't stand and blow the wind, go in and talk."

The eldest princess persuaded with a smile.

Everyone entered the hall together, the Supreme Emperor led Xiao Nan and him to sit on the main seat, the old eunuch wittily waved away the maids serving in the hall.

There are only a few people left in the hall.

"Grandfather."

Xiao Nan tugged on the Supreme Emperor's sleeve, looked in Su Rao's direction, "She is my sister."

"Really?"

The Supreme Emperor followed Xiao Nan's line of sight, and saw the blue figure standing in the hall, and bowed his knees to worship, "Su Rao sees the Supreme Emperor."

The lamplight shrouds the green shadow, like a clump of green bamboo with broken light and shadow on the edge, lonely and cold, it should grow in the green forests of the mountains.

It is incompatible with the magnificence of this palace.

The Supreme Emperor didn't speak for a long time, Su Rao kept kneeling, the princess frowned slightly but didn't say anything, and looked at the two worriedly.

Xiao Nan frowned, "Grandfather..."

The Supreme Emperor patted his hand lightly, signaling him to be calm, turned to Su Rao and said, "Let's be free from courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Su Rao stood up, still standing where she was, when Xiao Nan shouted again: "Grandfather!"

The Supreme Emperor glanced down at his grandson who was so biased, and said with a wry smile, "Do you feel distressed after telling her to stand for a while?"

Having said that, he still ordered according to Xiao Nan's intention: "Come here, give her a seat."

The old eunuch hurriedly ordered the servant to move the chair next to him to the front, Su Rao thanked her, and sat down properly.

Seeing the cold atmosphere, the eldest princess smiled and smoothed things over: "Little girl is thin-skinned, Father, please don't scare her."

The Supreme Emperor took the sugar cake at the table and fed it to Xiao Nan, seeing how happy he was eating, he casually said: "Everything she did was shocking to the world and caused a storm all over the city. How can I scare her?"

There is a hint of reproach in these words.

Su Rao lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "My minister is terrified."

Just as Xiao Nan ate the sugar cake in his mouth, it suddenly tasted bad. He raised his eyes and looked at the two of them. Just as he was about to speak, the Supreme Emperor raised his hand to cover his eyes.

"No pleas."

As soon as the words fell, the eldest princess swallowed back the words that had just come to her lips, so she had to wait and see what happened.

The Supreme Emperor stared at Su Rao, got up quickly and walked towards the back hall, "Come with me."

Xiao Nan wanted to follow, but he said without turning his head: "Except for Su Rao, no one is allowed to trespass, otherwise there will be no punishment."

Su Rao saw that Xiao Nan became visibly nervous when she heard this, and her eyes showed a hint of anger, so she quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, the Supreme Emperor summoned me to ask some trivial matters, and my sister will be back soon."

After speaking, she looked at the eldest princess.

"Your Highness..."

"Go, I'm here."

The eldest princess pressed Xiao Nan's shoulder lightly, and watched her go to the apse. Xiao Nan saw that her figure was about to disappear, and struggled desperately.

"Sister, sister..."

The eldest princess held him tightly in her arms, and refused to let go, but how could she fight against the furious Xiao Nan, seeing that he was about to break free, she quickly shouted: "Zhong Limu, do you want to kill her?" ?”

The sound was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, making Xiao Nan stop his movements suddenly.

He looked back at the eldest princess, his eyes were cold and unfamiliar, "You are the ones who want her to enter the palace..."

The look on the princess's face when he touched him, the mother and son seemed to have returned to the past overnight, all the previous things were gone.

Compared with ignoring like that, he has more hatred and anger at the moment.

"She'll be fine."

The eldest princess suppressed the pain in her heart and comforted her, "Your grandfather just wanted to say a few words to her, and he would not hurt her. If you rush in at this time and offend Huangwei, she will be in real danger."

Xiao Nan pursed her lips tightly and did not speak, her eyes turned back and forth, as if she was considering the authenticity of her words.

Seeing him calm down, the eldest princess said softly: "In the imperial city, you must follow the rules. If you want to help her, you must know how to do it is really good for her."

The hall was dead silent.

Xiao Nan ignored her, didn't even eat her favorite pastry, and looked eagerly in the direction of the apse.

The eldest princess looked at his back and wept sadly...

In the side hall, the Supreme Emperor looked down at Su Rao, his peaceful eyes suddenly became menacing, "You really should be terrified, do you know that Xiao Nan is the heir of the Tian family, and treats you with sincerity, you actually use him?"

Su Rao knelt in the hall, and raised her eyes when she heard the words: "The Taishang Emperor's words are not understandable to me, please understand."

"I don't understand."

The Supreme Emperor sneered coldly: "That child has a pure heart. If you hadn't signaled it, how could he have betrayed his clan parents and only regarded you as a relative? Even entering the palace to accompany him, or visiting his parents in the princess mansion, is for helping you."

"You use him to gain power, but can you be worthy of his sincerity?"

There were echoes in the hall, like torture.

At this moment, even though the emperor is old, he also has the power of thunder.

Faced with this power, Su Rao pursed her lips for a long time, waited for the sound to die down, and then quietly said: "I am a humble minister to Xiao Nan, and I have a clear conscience."

"You said... no shame?"

The Supreme Emperor's voice was ethereal, as if it came from afar.

Su Rao nodded solemnly, and said again: "Yes, I have no shame."

She raised her head slightly, met the scrutinizing gaze, and said frankly: "In my heart, Xiao Nan is Xiao Nan, regardless of whether he has the glory of Zhong Li's family or the power of Gongqing, he is Xiao Nan."

"He treats his minister with sincerity, and the minister repays with sincerity, that's all."

"It's very well said."

The Supreme Emperor didn't seem to believe it, "Then why did he do this for you?"

"Forgive me for taking the liberty, dare to ask why the Supreme Emperor said this to me?"

Su Rao asked back.

Xu Shi hadn't heard anyone talk to him like this for a long time, the Supreme Emperor was stunned, and just gave Su Rao a chance, "The Supreme Emperor wants to protect Xiao Nan's heart, I understand."

"And Xiao Nan just wants to protect the minister."

"You have turned the southern border upside down, and you are so powerful in Shengjing City, do you still need someone to protect you?"

The words were full of anger, but the tone had softened a lot.

Su Rao knew that this test was over for the time being.

She lowered her head and said: "This humble minister looks like a beautiful person, but in fact, after entering the capital, he was restrained everywhere, and he couldn't help himself. The rich and powerful in the city of Shengjing are like a cloud, and everyone has their own reliance. I am an orphan girl with little strength, and I am struggling to survive... "
