Xiao Ling lied to her!"I'm going to find the emperor!"
Shen Ni turned around and walked back. When Eunuch Huang saw this, he immediately knelt down to stop him.
"Mother, the palace has been surrounded by traitors. If you go back, you will die!" Eunuch Huang grabbed the ground with his head. "Your Majesty has tried so hard to send you away. You can't live up to His Majesty's wishes!"
The beacon smoke became thicker. Shen Ni looked up at the black smoke covering the dome, her eyes ached.
He had never thought about escaping from the palace with her. All the sweet words last night were just words to fool her!
Xiao Ling ascended the throne at a young age and had a gentle personality. The court had long been controlled by the left and right prime ministers who were supported by the Queen Mother, and he had no real power at all for him to exert. Over time, he could only numb himself with poetry and songs.
During the years when the sycophants were in power, there were countless corrupt officials, and the people were in dire straits and complained. Xiao Ling had hoped more than once that a tough person would take his place on the throne.
If he could help the turbulent government, he would sacrifice his life.
"Eunuch Huang." Everything in front of Shen Ni's eyes was distorted by tears, "You also know that returning to the palace is going to death. How can I leave His Majesty here alone?"
"Empress!" Eunuch Huang pounced on her in a panic: "Your Majesty is the elder brother of Prince Jing, and he will never commit fratricide. But if the empress returns to the palace rashly and gets injured, how should our family explain to His Majesty? !」
After hearing this, Shen Ni suddenly stopped, and he hurriedly continued to lobby: "And His Majesty has ordered that Your Majesty will only take the next step when your Majesty leaves the palace. My Majesty, if you leave earlier, His Majesty can come to you earlier!"
The fists hidden in her sleeves were clenched tightly. Shen Ni stared at the imperial decree held in front of her, her whole body trembling with anger.
Sure enough, she had gone to great lengths to force her to leave the palace alone at the risk of the fate of the entire palace.
The sound of crunching horseshoes was getting closer and closer. Eunuch Huang was so anxious that he knocked his head three times: "The Queen is still waiting for us, we can't waste a moment!"
My cousin hasn’t left the palace yet?
Xiao Ling forced her into this situation, and Shen Ni knew that he couldn't change it. He gritted his teeth and snatched the imperial edict: "Go back and tell Xiao Ling that if he dares to come back to me with even the slightest injury, I will not let him go!"
Concubine Shen has been in the palace for ten years and has been favored by the sixth palace for ten years. She is the only one who dares to call the emperor by his name like this.
Eunuch Huang bowed and agreed. He stood there and watched the carriage drive away quickly. The tears he had been holding back for so long could finally fall.
The palace door slowly closed, and the carriage had gone very far.
In the car, Shen Ni wiped away the tears on her face, opened the brocade curtain and looked back at the palace city.
The former grandeur is still there, but amid the smoke, a black smoke with sparks rises into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and the whole city is filled with the smell of burning and ashes.
Just like the unknown future she rushed to.
