C6 (2/2)

Before the maid could finish her sentence, there was a loud sound and Bai Ruo Lan fainted on the ground.

When Bai Ruo Lan woke up, it was already the afternoon. The setting sun shone down on the dilapidated palace gate like blood, causing it to be dyed a bright red.

She struggled to sit up, disregarding the weakness of her body, and wanted to tiptoe outside. Two brawny guards stood by the door, and when they saw her, they held out their hands to stop her. ”Without the emperor's permission, the Empress cannot take even a single step out of the palace!”

”I want to see Mu Qingchen!” I want to see Mu Qingchen! ” Bai Ruolan desperately tried to walk out, but the guard reached out and pushed her broken body to the ground.

She crawled on the ground and muttered to herself, ”I want to see the emperor. I want to see my parents and brothers one last time!”

”Niangniang, please behave yourself. The prime minister is committing suicide in prison because of his rage. If you disturb him now and anger him, it won't be a good thing!”

Bai Ruochen paused for a moment. If Mu Qingchen lost his temper and insulted her father and her brother's corpse, she would be dead for sure.

She weakly sat back on the ground and looked lifelessly out of the palace door.

Bai Ruolan sat there for several hours. As night fell and a strong wind blew outside, the person she had been waiting for finally appeared.

Mu Qingchen, who was wearing a cloak, broke through the door with a chilling air.

Looking at Bai Ruolan who was sitting on the ground, he sneered, ”I heard you want to see me?”

”I beg the emperor to let this lowly servant see my family one last time!” Bai Ruolan slowly knelt down.

Before yesterday, she called herself concubine, but today, she became a lowly servant. Hearing her call herself Mu Qingchen's eyes tightened, her voice chilled to the bone, ”What if I don't agree?”

”I beg the emperor to let this lowly servant see my family one last time!” Bai Ruo Lan once again kowtowed heavily against the green brick floor.

She exerted all her strength, and with a peng sound, that sound struck Mu Qingchen's heart. His heart actually couldn't help but tremble.

Bai Ruochen did not continue to see him kowtowing mechanically, instead, Mu Qingchen abruptly stretched out his hand to support her head. Blood dripped profusely from her forehead, and she was badly mangled.
