Ye Nianning stepped in startledly.

As if the temperature in the room had dropped a lot, she immediately felt cold on her body, and a layer of dense goose bumps formed.

And Shen Qingqing...

Ye Nianning could no longer tell if she was Shen Qingqing.

There is no furniture in this room, only a lonely log bed.

Shen Qingqing lay on her head, with her back facing her, motionless.

Even when someone came, Shen Qingqing did not move.

Looking far away, she was wearing only a blouse, her clothes rumpled, and the mattresses under her were sparsely and chaotically.

It was completely different from Ye Nianning's memory, the quiet, intelligent, and impeccable Shen Qingqing.

Even more shocking is.

There were faint blood stains on her snow-white jacket, and blood stains were particularly conspicuous.

Ye Nianning came closer.

She tentatively shouted: "Qing Qing?"

Shen Qingqing's shoulders shrugged slightly.

But Ye Nianning looked closer, her movements still remained unchanged.

It seemed just dazzled just now, she didn't have any reaction.

Ye Nianning took another step closer.

"Qingqing, is that you? How did you become like this?"

This time Shen Qingqing spoke.

Her voice was slightly hoarse and tired.

"Don't come here again."

Ye Nianning stopped.

She guessed that Shen Qingqing didn't want her to see this embarrassing appearance, so she told her to stop passing by.

Ye Nianning stood a few steps away from Shen Qingqing.

"Qingqing, what is going on?"

Shen Qingqing still did not look up.

The tone was indifferent and could not hear any emotions.

"Niannian, it's none of your business."

Ye Nianning clenched his fists anxiously, his face full of anger.

"Yes... the emperor made you like this?"

Shen Qingqing seemed to sneer, but did not speak again.

Ye Nianning was a little unbelievable: "Qingqing, he... didn't the emperor like you? He... why would he hurt you?"

Ye Nianning felt very strange.

If you like someone, shouldn't you put her on the tip of your heart and treat her wholeheartedly?

Just like her father treated her mother, like Qin Jixun treated her.

But why is Gan Xiaoba’s likes different?

Shen Qingqing sighed quietly, and in an indifferent tone, told Ye Nianning what had happened during this period.

Shen Qingqing spoke very briefly.

She did not say why she wanted to help Qi Jinze in rebellion, nor did she say why she wanted to betray the prince.

She only said that after Qi Jinze was subdued, someone came to Shenji shop and took her away.

Shen Qingqing did not elaborate on the anger and terrible torture she endured.

However, Shen Qingqing mentioned that the emperor gave her two choices after ascending to the throne.

Either enter the palace as a concubine or die.

Shen Qingqing chose to die without hesitation.

But the emperor didn't grant her a capital crime, but just imprisoned her here.

Never saw the sun outside again.

Three meals a day, she can't die from starvation, but she can't get enough to eat and wear warmth.

The emperor said, give her one last chance to choose.

Don't rush to reply. If she still wants to choose to die, let her stay in it and think carefully.

If she is willing to be a concubine, she can go out at any time.

The meaning of the emperor's words is already very clear.

But Ye Nianning knew that Shen Qingqing was unwilling.

Otherwise she would have gone out long ago.

Ye Nianning looked at Shen Qingqing with some confusion.

"Qingqing, do you hate the emperor? Why would you rather die than be a concubine?"

Ye Nianning felt that Xiaoming was so valuable.

If she was asked to choose between marrying Qin Jixun and death, then she would definitely choose to marry Qin Jixun.

Of course, if you marry someone else...

Hmm... Ye Nianning decided not to think about this issue anymore.

Shen Qingqing smiled softly.

Cold and decisive, it seems to be mixed with emotions from the side.

But Ye Nianning couldn't see her face, and didn't understand what she was feeling at the moment.

But I heard Shen Qingqing say in a calm voice.

"I don't belong here, and I don't want to have any fetters."

Ye Nianning nodded as if understanding.

She also doesn't like the palace.

I also feel that she does not belong here.

Although the palace is big, the scenery is beautiful, and the dim sum made by the Imperial Kitchen is delicious.

But every time she came in, she always felt bored.

There are many rules everywhere, for fear that if you make a mistake, it is a trivial matter to be punished, and your family will be implicated.

Ye Nianning comforted softly.

"Qingqing, don't worry, the emperor is very soft-hearted, he will definitely not behave like you, at best it will scare you."

Shen Qingqing sneered again, and her body buried in the mattress also moved, slowly getting up.

Ye Nianning looked at Shen Qingqing carefully, watching her turn around inch by inch.

Then, Ye Nianning saw Shen Qingqing's thin and thin chin, as well as those eyes that were extremely bright because of her thin face.

"Qingqing, you..."

Ye Nianning looked at her distressedly.

How can you become thin like this?

A sneer smile appeared at the corner of Shen Qingqing's mouth.

"Niannian, not everyone, just like you, can be protected as well by Qin Jixun."

Ye Nianning was a little startled.

Then Shen Qingqing said slowly.

"Including Qi Xiuze."

Ye Nianning was stunned again.

Only then did it come true that Qi Xiuze was Gan Xiaoba's name.

She never shouted, she couldn't remember.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qingqing would call out the emperor's name so boldly.

But think about it, Shen Qingqing is not even afraid of death, so what is she afraid of?

Shen Qingqing pursed her lips, and glanced across the door seemingly.

As if she could see Qin Jixun standing at the door through the curtain.

Then, Shen Qingqing whispered again.

"Niannian, you know, on the day of His Highness King Ping's rebellion, Qin Jixun threw the Crown Prince into the palace and almost died in order to rush to the city gate to save your father?"

Ye Nianning looked at Shen Qingqing in shock.

She always thought that Qin Jixun valued only the prince, wholeheartedly assisting him to calm the country and create a peaceful and prosperous age.

Unexpectedly.

Qin Jixun put His Royal Highness in danger in order to save her father?

"Niannian, you said, a simple and innocent child in the palace, faced with a vicious enemy, escaped from the dead and experienced great joy and sorrow, is he still the same him?"

Shen Qingqing spoke neither salty nor lightly, and clearly described as embarrassed, but in her scorching eyes, there was a smell that Ye Nianning couldn't tell.

Ye Nianning looked at Shen Qingqing with unsteady eyes.

"Qingqing, you mean, Gan Xiaoba has changed?"

Ye Nianning couldn't believe it.

Gan Xiaoba is obviously still that way.

He still discusses his favorite snack with her.

On the day of her marriage, as the elder brother, came to carry her on the sedan chair.

His eyes remained the same as usual, as clear as promised.

But Shen Qingqing's scars on her body now, as well as her thin face, can hardly conceal her exhaustion.

But he was telling Ye Nianning that what Shen Qingqing said was not bad.

When Shen Qingqing saw Ye Nianning's appearance, she knew that she could not accept it temporarily.

But it's okay, she didn't tell Ye Nianning these words.

Ye Nianning sniffed, feeling a little sad for what happened to Shen Qingqing.

And because of this huge gap, it is a little unbelievable.

With water in her eyes, she looked at Shen Qingqing.

"Qingqing, you have suffered, I...I will try to persuade Xiao Ba for you... he... he must be confused..."

"No need." Shen Qingqing waved her hand and said indifferently.

"Niannian, I only ask you one thing."

"What's the matter? I must do it." Ye Nianning flattened her mouth and looked at Shen Qingqing distressedly.

"I want to avoid child soup." Shen Qingqing said blankly.
