Dreaming back to the Qing Dynasty: Die Luo Chuchen

Chapter 939

Back at the Changchun Palace, the maids were busy again to settle me down. Xiaotao knew that I was in a bad mood and didn't ramble for the first time. She ordered everyone to tidy up everything and took them back.

They used to serve Concubine Tong Gui, but now they are busy for me, except that they did not live in the main hall, their etiquette for serving me is the same as before.Later, I learned from Xiao Shunzi that the emperor asked them to take care of me as their master, and they must not be careless.

It was late at night, and I sat on the bed staring blankly at the starry sky outside the window, not feeling sleepy at all.A gust of cold wind swept in, blowing the room deserted.Just like that, I didn't think about anything, and sat like a wooden man all night until the east turned white and ushered in a new day.

Xiaotao walked into the room and rushed over with a scream, "Mulan, didn't you sleep all night? You don't close the windows in winter, so how can you recover quickly?" she hurried to close the window.

Under her care, I finished washing silently, and sat in front of the dressing table to let her re-do my hair.Xiaotao felt that my expression was wrong, so she finally stopped and asked, "Mulan, we are good sisters, right? What happened? Can't you tell me?"

Seeing her expectant face, I stretched out my arms to hug her and said softly, "The emperor will personally try the case today..."

"Isn't that great?" she wondered.I took a deep breath and said softly in an ethereal voice: "No matter who interrogates, there is only one result. Ting Lu can't escape the death penalty because..." I felt Xiaotao's body stiffen and her head turned towards me. Lostly said: "...Because nearly [-] people were killed or injured on the battlefield, someone must come out to take this responsibility. Although Ting Lu is not a military commander, she has to take full responsibility for this matter."

Xiaotao looked at me in surprise, and asked in disbelief, "You mean?"

I lowered my head and said weakly: "The emperor told me the result last night."

The comb in Xiaotao's hand fell to the ground, and she finally understood why I was so abnormal. She was moved, and couldn't help but hug me into her arms, "How could this be? Doesn't the Emperor like you very much? You can't even beg him?"

Tears streamed down my face, I fell in her arms, feeling so small and helpless.

"I've begged, but it's useless. Unless there is a miracle and someone comes forward to prove Ting Lu's innocence, otherwise... Ting Lu will die."
