Prince Gong lowered his head and said nothing.
Princess Gong said: "Why don't we use the life-saving talisman?"
"now?"
"What else? If we don't use it anymore, we'll die."
Prince Gong frowned and said, "But the emperor is very good, and he is very good to us. I...ah! I really don't want to go this far."
"The emperor is good, but he can't save himself now. If you don't use the life-saving talisman, then our whole family will die, and then the emperor will be angry to death by that old witch. I'm not saying this to ask you to rebel, this is to save our lives and the emperor's life."
Prince Gong hesitated to speak, and after a long while, he sighed softly.
"Wait a little longer. I heard that Chu Li has woken up. Let's talk about it after he comes."
Princess Gong said nothing more.
As Prince Gong expected, Chu Li showed up the next day and Prince Gong was brought in for trial again.
Prince Gong was furious. This time he didn't even need an escort. He kicked the door open and followed two guards into the prison.
Ruan Xinchen: “…” So Prince Gong could kick open such a solid door with just one kick?
Princess Gong still looked worried.
Ruan Xinchen asked her, "Mother, what exactly is the life-saving talisman?"
Princess Gong said: "It is a jade tablet that was personally presented by the late emperor, which says that it can mobilize the three armies. In fact, we have never tried it, so we don't know if it is true. Before the late emperor died, he said that we can bring it if we encounter life-threatening situations.
So I guess it's useless to bring it when we are in trouble, because we can't mobilize the three armies. Otherwise, wouldn't that give us a chance to rebel? When we encounter danger, bringing it can give us a chance to defend ourselves. "
Ruan Xinchen thought this was very mysterious. How could a jade token have such great power?
It's not a jade ornament.
Whether it is the Three Armies or the opportunity to defend oneself, if the opponent is strong enough, then it is just a broken stone.
She felt that either this thing was ineffective, or...it must have some other effect.
This time, Prince Gong was away for a short time and he came back soon.
His face looked very ugly.
Princess Gong asked him, "My Lord, what's the matter?"
"Humph." Prince Gong said angrily, "That bastard, he turned our mansion upside down, and he found the jade token that the emperor left for us. Now it's in his pocket."
Princess Gong's face changed drastically, "What?"
"Alas!" Prince Gong sighed heavily.
Princess Gong: "What should we do? Are we just going to die?"
As he was speaking, two more guards came.
"Mrs. 꿁, please come with us."
Prince Gong and Princess Gong both looked at her worriedly.
"Xin Chen."
"It's okay, I'll be back soon."
It was Ruan Xinchen's turn to be brought to trial.
In the lobby of the Dali Temple, she met Chu Li, who had been detoxified.
He had cleared the area around him and it looked like he was planning to discuss some private matters.
"What do you want to do? Tell me."
Chu Li said: "Xin Chen, don't you know what I want to do? I just want to continue our unfinished fate in this life, why is it so difficult?"
Ruan Xinchen said calmly: "We have never been destined to be together, how can we continue?"
"How could it be otherwise? We could have been together for the rest of our lives..."
"Huh? We're together? What about your newly crowned queen?"
Chu Li was startled, "We can be together as a group of three."
Ruan Xinchen smiled, "You are too greedy."
"Yes, that's why I have to make up for my mistakes in this life. I loved her in this life, and now it's over. In this life, I have to repay you."
Ruan Xinchen looked at the clothes he was wearing, which were only worn by criminals.
"So that's how you pay it back?"
Chu Li: “…”
"I don't want to do this, but if I do it again, it will be too late."
"Forget it, stop using me as an excuse. You are just a person who can give up everything for power. It was like this in my previous life, and it is still like this in this life."
Chu Li felt that she was wronged.
"You have misunderstood me too deeply. I don't care about power or the throne. I was very happy when I found out that you were looking for someone to register your household registration. I thought that I would chase you after you left.
In this life, we are far away from these disputes, and we live happily among the people. But I didn't expect that you were reluctant to leave even though you had registered your household registration and obtained a travel permit.
Later, I thought you didn't want to leave because you had unfulfilled wishes. I helped you find your mother's maid and helped you overthrow your stepmother. Now your brother has been found, but you still don't want to leave.
Do you know what you look at Chu Xuanche with? I see the look in your eyes when you look at him, and I know you're not leaving anymore. You plan to live with him, right? "
"Yes." Ruan Xinchen admitted straightforwardly, "I just want to live with him. I like him."
"You..." Chu Li punched the armrest of the chair, extremely angry.
"So, if I don't act now, I won't have another chance. If I wait a lifetime to act, maybe your children will be old enough to make soy sauce. What do you think I should do? I can only act in advance. When I have the power, I will be qualified to snatch you back."
Ruan Xinchen smiled faintly, "You are such a weird person."
Feelings come inexplicably.
If you like it so much, why do you want to poison yourself all your life?
I can only explain one thing.
Ruan Xinchen said calmly: "Don't make excuses for yourself. You will do anything for power. Whether in your past life or this life, you are always cruel, to yourself and to everyone else."
Chu Li was deeply hurt, frowning sadly, and then said: "No, that's not right. I am cruel, even to myself, but I have never been cruel to you. I can use you to threaten Chu Xuanche, but I don't want to. I would rather take poison than let you suffer. Do you understand?"
This is funny.
Ruan Xinchen laughed.
"Really? Didn't you let Xu Moer force me to drink the conspiracy of that lifetime?"
Chu Li's face changed, and he asked in shock: "What did you say? What's the trigger?"
"Why are you still pretending? Don't you know what you have done?"
Chu Li suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed something important.
After her rebirth, was she really so filled with hatred that she chose to commit suicide just because he wouldn't let her go to the uterus?
"I don't know what the leash is. I really don't know what the leash is. What's going on?"
Um?
Ruan Xinchen looked at his expression and it didn't seem like he was joking.
So... he wasn't the one who poisoned her?
"Xu Moer, who has already taken the throne of Queen, came to me with your imperial edict, saying that my relatives committed a crime that would lead to the extermination of the entire family, and I was on the list of those to be executed, not you?"
Chu Li's face turned pale and she shook her head frantically, "No, I didn't. I was already aware of my feelings for you at that time. How could I possibly take your life?"
"What were you doing during that time? I sent you dozens of messages."
