Chart Topper Queen

Chapter 69: Promotion: Leaping over the Palace (11)

Just as the relationship between women changed, so did the courtroom.

The general who fought on the frontier with foreign races suffered a defeat, and the casualties were not small. He belonged to the prince's camp, and there was a lot of quarrel in the court. During this period, Mu Xiaoxi only saw the prince once. Coincidentally, Concubine Li was ill and wanted someone to serve in the palace. She entered the palace with Su Anran, and when she was walking in the imperial garden, she bumped into the prince.

The smile on his lips was still there, as if he was completely unaffected by the court, and he had only a brief conversation with Su Anran. From beginning to end, there was no eye contact with her.

The format soon changed.

Seeing that the prince was weak, someone accused the second prince of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and in order to attack the prince, he disclosed the information to people of different races. The essence of this matter is rumors. I didn't expect that the concubine in the second prince's mansion was actually presented with a wooden hairpin. There is a mechanism in the hairpin, and the twisting room can be opened, and the hidden letters can be taken out. The paper is light and thin, and the handwriting on it is undoubtedly written by the Second Prince.

The saint was furious.

In the Second Prince's Mansion, the teacup was smashed to the ground and torn apart. Zhao Yuanya's eyes were red with a different kind of evil, and those eyes fell on Mu Xiaoxi, "Are you from the Prince?"

Mu Xiaoxi put the pieces on the tray and whispered like the most ordinary concubine: "Why should your Highness be angry, didn't you know that I had ulterior motives?"

Zhao Yuanya couldn't help but sneered, "The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, do you think you can save yourself, or Zhao Yuanlang can save you? You are just a **** used by him, you can't escape death."

"It is an honor to have His Highness buried with you."

"What about An Ran?" Zhao Yuanya asked coldly, "You protect her because of the prince's order?"

Mu Xiaoxi couldn't answer for a while, he said, "If she knew that it was you who sent her to death, I don't know how she would feel."

When Zhao Yuanya spoke, Mu Xiaoxi noticed the extra breath behind him, but he never looked back. After he finished speaking, she turned her head and saw Su Anran standing outside the door, and had already heard the conversation between the two.

After all, the second prince is the blood of the saint. A letter alone cannot be used as absolute evidence, and it has to be investigated by multiple parties. Therefore, everyone in the Second Prince's Mansion was temporarily imprisoned, pending further interrogation. Zhao Yuanya is right. Although Mu Xiaoxi has provided evidence, her identity is only an insignificant concubine. The second prince has been imprisoned. She has no one to support her. .

The female family members were all thrown into prison, panicking all day long, either crying or complaining, but Mu Xiaoxi and Su Anran were at peace. As a time-travel heroine, Su Anran's psychological quality is excellent, but in such a predicament, she shows her specialness. The two happened to be locked together, but compared to the previous intimacy, Su Anran's attitude became much colder.

Su Anran never thought that Mu Xiaoxi would have other purposes when approaching him. For her, Mu Xiaoxi is different from Princess Yongkang. Although Princess Yongkang is a playmate, but because of her high status, even if they are friendly, they will still show contempt when they get along with each other on weekdays. . But it was different for Mu Xiaoxi. She saved her life and established a trustworthy relationship invisibly.

The two also got along very well. Mu Xiaoxi cooperated with her, claiming that she never used the word "slave", and she often forgot the identity of the other party. She was the most comfortable person to get along with after she came here.

Now that I think about it, who would save a stranger for no reason? This is class-clear antiquity, not modernity.

There was a gap in their hearts, and even though it was a time of mutual adversity, Su Anran couldn't force herself to give each other a good color. However, Mu Xiaoxi, as always, would ask her opinion when making a bed and serving meals, as if they were not living in prison, but were still living in the Second Prince's Mansion.

Also, she is the eyeliner of the prince, so she naturally knew what would happen and was prepared.

In just one month, she suffered continuous "betrayal" by Princess Yongkang and Mu Xiaoxi, and she was at a loss. She tucked her knees against the prison wall, wanting to go home like never before.

Suddenly, the presence of others approaching came from beside her, but perhaps because of her repulsive attitude, she did not break through the safe distance as before, and only stopped at a relatively distant position.

"Sister, rest assured, His Highness will keep you safe and sound," she said.

Su Anran looked up at her, there was concern in the other's eyes, and she lowered her eyes slightly when she saw her. She was angry, and stabbed her frankly: "Which Highness do you mean, Your Highness?"

Mu Xiaoxi's voice was soft and still, "Sister should know that no matter who your Highness is, I hope you are safe."

"...What about you?" Su Anran couldn't help but ask, "Why did you do this?"

"Sister Anran needs reasons, of course there are reasons. It is nothing more than poverty, and life in the palace is like walking on thin ice. There are so many people in the palace, and most of them are people who the master does not look down on. We can be selected, that is, With one more life, everything can be accommodating, and there is room for pleading."

"Then it's worth your life-"

"It's not worth it." She smiled, "Don't my sister understand yet? People only consider whether it's worth it when they have a choice."

These words were like a small hammer, hitting Su Anran's heart. When she remembered her time travel, she had no reason or choice. When she came, she was calm, comforting herself that it was just a journey through time. She was able to see the face of the saint and fell in love with the prince. It seemed that this trip was very worthwhile.

But if she had the chance to choose, would she choose to transcend?

She was in a trance when another voice came from her ear: "...But these reasons have nothing to do with my sister. In any case, it was me who implicated my sister."

Su Anran shook her head, and unexpectedly realized that this matter has nothing to do with her, but is it related to Mu Xiaoxi?

There are countless victims in the battle for imperial power. She and Mu Xiaoxi are just stardust between the prince and the second prince, and they are not worth mentioning.

She was silent for a while, and said, "Up to now, I don't know which of your words is credible and which is not. Let me ask you frankly, you and I are friends, but only for the prince's order?"

Mu Xiaoxi looked into Su Anran's eyes and said, "He didn't let me protect you."

Su Anran was slightly startled.

"He has never given such an order. Before I entered the palace, he didn't even know I existed."

"then you……"

The sound of "bang bang" came from the railing, and the jailer outside the railing brought the food. The second prince was not convicted for one day, and the people in the prison did not dare to neglect their family members. In addition, the room they lived in was taken care of, and the food was not bad. Even the bowl was new, not as greasy as in the film and television drama. The broken bowl has been used by thousands of people.

She brought it to Su Anran, and she said, "Sister doesn't have to think too bad about me, or too good. He really didn't order it, but I protect you, which is more conducive to approaching the second prince."

It's natural, Su Anran didn't even think of this, but she sacrificed her life to save her after all. Would anyone do this for such a roundabout plan?

If it wasn't for her, it was for—

"You... like Zhao Yuanlang very much?"

Mu Xiaoxi shook his head and gave her a pair of chopsticks. However, when she picked up the meat in the bowl, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, and immediately pressed Su Anran's chopsticks with her chopsticks.

She looked serious, and Su Anran also became nervous: "Is there a problem?" She thought of the identity of Mu Xiaoxi's eyeliner, and she was probably trained in this regard, "Could it be poisonous..."

"Hmm. I don't know what the poison is, but there is something wrong with the food."

Su Anran took a deep breath, not daring to imagine what she would be like after eating these meals if she wasn't there. Just thinking about it made her stomach feel a little nauseous. She murmured, "But who would want to kill us?"

She ruled out the prince for the first time. Aside from the emotional factor, if you think rationally, Zhao Yuanlang would never kill his female relatives, not to mention whether he has compassion for others, it is the cusp of the storm right now, and the second prince has not yet been convicted. Is there a mastermind behind a series of events? For him, it is not appropriate to move now, and to take ten thousand steps back and say, even if he wants to kill, he will kill the second prince, that is the key person.

But apart from that, would anyone kill them? When it comes to human life, apart from the influence of the political struggle in the court, what kind of contradiction will be so deep?

Maybe it's not the prince himself, could it be the prince's subordinates acting privately? It's always played like this on TV. For example, knowing that the prince likes her and worrying about her making a mistake, taking this opportunity to kill her...

Su Anran shook her head, this thought was too self-indulgent.

"What are you laughing at, sister?"

Su Anran touched the corner of her mouth and coughed softly, "I remembered something funny." After some mental activity just now, she has adjusted herself and is no longer shrouded in the shadow of death.

Immediately, she heard the girl beside her say: "Maybe it's my enemy, or my sister's enemy? If my sister doesn't have a deadly grudge, then she's coming for me. I think I've made a standout this time and attracted the attention of others. ,"

Thinking from another angle, since it is not implicated, it is aimed at them themselves.

What she said made sense, but Su Anran suddenly thought of Princess Yongkang. In terms of identity, the other party can do such a thing completely, but the other party should have no motive, even if the comer is not good, they will not come to the point of life and death, right?

But once this idea is planted in his mind, he can't get rid of it.

As dusk approached, the sun gradually turned the sky a little bloody, and Mu Xiaoxi reminded her, "Sister, it's better to be alert."

Isn't just poisoning enough?

Su Anran was dubious, and her nerves were highly vigilant, but since she came from ancient times, her body has not been trained. Until you hear a "clang" again.

"Who?!"

"Pick up the bowl." The visitor said impatiently.

Is the jailer.

What catches his eye is his official robe, only half of his face is exposed when he looks up, and the rest is hidden in the shadows.

Su Anran exhaled. It happened that the rice bowls were packed by Mu Xiaoxi and put to the side. The food inside had already been poured into the Gong Bucket, leaving only the empty bowls. She handed the cutlery out through the gap.

At this moment, she was suddenly thrown away by a force from the back side!

The tableware fell to the ground with a loud crack, and almost the next moment, she vaguely heard a "bang"!

this voice...

Across the railing, it was very difficult to kill with swords, spears, swords, and halberds. She was just about to tell Xiaoxi to retreat away from the railing, when her eyes suddenly fell on the "jailer". His hand was hard to find under the dim light, a pitch-black hole. .

It was aimed right at her.

"how come--"

Her voice stopped abruptly.

Yongkang, that is, Yongkang sent someone to kill her!

Her head was blank and her body was rigid. There was no way to hide in such a confinement space. She could only watch the "jailer"'s finger make a light hook.

At this moment, a figure stood in front of her, the next second the gunshot sounded again, and the figure fell down.

"Little Creek!"

At this time, the movement caused by this prison room attracted the real jailer, and the fake jailer saw that the opportunity was not good, and it was too late to make another shot and immediately retreated. A few drunken jailers were now sober and chased out.

Mu Xiaoxi fell on the wet and cold ground, and was shot in the waist and abdomen, and the clothes were stained with red.

"Xiaoxi, how are you Xiaoxi..." Tears fell from Su Anran's eyes. She slammed on the iron door, but no one responded, so she could only go back to look at Mu Xiaoxi. She didn't know how to deal with the gunshot wound. The bullet went deep into Mu Xiaoxi's abdomen. All she could do was to tear off her clothes and stop the bleeding for her.

But the dressing method was wrong, and the blood could not stop.

Mu Xiaoxi held down her trembling hand, "Sister, there are some things I haven't told my elder sister yet..."

"You said."

"That letter was... I presented it myself..."

Su Anran looked at her blankly, "What?"

"Prince, didn't tell me, there is a letter inside... I discovered the mechanism myself..." The massive blood loss made her feel cold, and she said weakly, "He said it was for me... a gift..."

Su Anran's pupils shrank suddenly. In other words, Zhao Yuanlang not only did not tell her what was hidden here, but also deceived her. because of what?

She remembered that night, when she leaned on Mu Xiaoxi's shoulder, she suddenly heard her confess to her "I like the prince", with the jerky and shyness of confessing her heart for the first time.

Zhao Yuanlang took advantage of her feelings.

Because it was given by him, Mu Xiaoxi, who likes him, will definitely wear this hairpin at all times, until one day, he steps into the trap he arranged for her and will

She only felt that her throat was blocked by a ball of cotton wool, "You found out, why don't you throw away the hairpin?!" Is it just because they like him that their relationship is so humble?

The girl is indescribably beautiful, her pale face is weak, and she smiles like a small flower by the roadside, "Sister, I don't...have no choice..."

Su Anran's words were blocked, and she choked out.

The emotions that she had been repressed in the depths of her heart since she passed through burst out, and she suddenly felt that she hated this world. She adjusted her heart again and again, and looked at everything around her optimistically, just to make her life better.

She can't change the environment, she can only change herself.

"I don't have a choice, but elder sister has..." Mu Xiaoxi gently grabbed the corner of her clothes, "sister, do you want to... leave this place..."

"I..." When Su Anran spoke, she suddenly noticed that her pupils were gradually dilated, and immediately grabbed her hand and shouted, "Anyway, I will not leave by death, Xiaoxi! Just wait a minute, Someone will be here soon..."

Mu Xiaoxi's voice has been completely lowered, and it is inaudible, "The day my sister wants to leave... I will... pick you up..."

"Little Creek!"

In the prison, the woman's loud cries resounded, causing Zhao Yuanlang, who had entered the prison, to pause slightly. He was dressed in brocade clothes and robes, which was incompatible with this dirty place. Hei Chang's official boots fell in the prison cell where Su Anran was. He saw Mu Xiaoxi's corpse and Su Anran who was hugging her and crying.

"I'm late."

he whispered.

Mu Xiaoxi was just an insignificant role in his plan. Without her, there would be someone else who could replace him. Although she took the initiative to hand in the wooden hairpin beyond his expectations, it didn't break his plan, and it wasn't enough to impress him.

But looking at her dead now, for some reason, he remembered in a trance that when the two met for the first time, she had bitten off the big palace maid's finger with determination and cruelty, as well as the **** smile on her lips.

"It's Princess Yongkang."

Su Anran stood up, almost threw herself into his arms, and clenched his shirt tightly. She said angrily, "If you still have any conscience, kill her and avenge Xiaoxi!"

In the palace, Princess Yongkang was absent-mindedly drinking water. A palace servant walked in quickly, and she screened the palace maid who was waiting beside her.

"How about it?"

The palace servant shook his head and said, "It didn't work. But the Mu clan next to Concubine Su is dead."

Princess Yongkang frowned, "How come..." She frowned not because Su Anran didn't die, but because of Mu Xiaoxi.

The female anchor is not really dead when she dies, but the characters in the virtual world cannot be resurrected if they die, which means different things to the audience in the live broadcast room. And killing the female anchor is just a means of her competition, but if she really killed a non-player character, even if it was a character in the virtual world, she felt very uncomfortable.

"It was said to protect Concubine Su, and blocked it for Concubine Su."

"I see..." Princess Yongkang admired Su Anran's methods, she said, "She is loyal."

Originally, she still had doubts about which of the two female anchors were, and did not completely eliminate her doubts, and wanted to make further confirmation. But now that Mu Xiaoxi is dead, Su Anran must be the female anchor. Mu Xiaoxi died blocking a bullet for Su Anran. If the time is coming to an end, then she may have deliberately created a tragic ending. However, now that the game is just over halfway through, which player will be satisfied with the status quo and withdraw from the game?

Two days ago, the female anchor's data had a climax increase, probably because she won a staged victory, and everyone in the live broadcast room thought she had lied to her. The current stats of the female anchor are indeed higher than hers, but the gap has not been opened up too much. If she is the other party, it is absolutely impossible to "suicide" in order to convince the opponent that Su Anran is her.

This time at least she has determined who her opponent is, and she is not doing it in vain.

The palace servant asked, "Will His Royal Highness find out..."

"It's alright." She put the teacup back on the table, "The prince can't protect himself, he can't control me."

Palace people are strange.

Now that the second prince has been imprisoned, it is the time of Gao Ge, how can the princess say that the prince himself cannot be protected?

Princess Yongkang didn't speak any more, just waved her hand to signal him to step back.

In the original book, the prince is the supporting actor, and the second prince is the real protagonist. The second prince's disappointment is only temporary, and therefore, she feels that this is the best time. If it was a usual banquet, Su Anran would definitely take precautions against her, but in prison, even if she wanted to take precautions, she would have no chance.

At this moment, the barrage flashed quickly in her live broadcast room.

[I rely on me, West Lake really wants to kill that anchor? Originally, I thought the ancient field was quite boring, but suddenly it was a bit powerful. ]

[Ah, ah, this is the meaning of the ancient background! The anchor can be killed! ]

[This idea is amazing, if you kill the opponent, you will be able to eliminate the opponent in advance. The anchor's methods are ruthless! ]

It's not that no one talks about humanitarianism and feels uncomfortable because of Mu Xiaoxi's death, but most people like this trend. I'm used to seeing a female anchor who is sympathetic and tangled in emotions, but suddenly there is a single-handed anchor, which seems particularly emotional.

Of course, it's mainly because they know that these are fake, and the death of the anchor is not a real death, so they can watch it so happily.

The audience's reaction far exceeded Yao Xihu's expectations, and she made up her mind to formulate new plans outside the emotional line.

At the same time, in another live room, Aibe's audience was completely different.

[died? ]

[died? ! ]

[Wuwuwu Xiaoxi don't want it——! ]

[This barrage is very familiar to me. I remember that during the rematch, Bei Bei killed himself as soon as he came up, and then pulled back to the timeline. ]

[Please read the rules clearly! ! The promotion game is a three-person competition, and it is absolutely impossible to recall the timeline. If you die, you are really dead. ]

[The plot is particularly touching, but I can't help but want to say, is Beibei doing this to quit the game? ! ! ]

[Who do you remember. Bei Bei said that day that he was going to play somewhere else...]

[Remember, don't you mean prison? ]

At this time, they found that their lovely anchor Aibe spent most of the bounty, bought the same item from the mall, and didn't intend to stop. While shopping, she explained to everyone "without any difficulty": "There is a rule in the live broadcast room, if a character dies, the character will be invalid."

[Eh? ]

"It's the role that is cancelled, not the end of the game."

That being said, but there is no role, how to play? And this may just be unclear in the text. If the role is invalid, the game will end?

The audience was nervous for her, for fear that it was not what she said.

The anchors of the other two live broadcast rooms found that Ai Bei's live broadcast data was suddenly cleared during the daily live broadcast.
