Chen Shengbei's trip to the Imperial Clan Court was naturally not as smooth as Yan Yunuo's. Bai Pei had long been instructed by Su Wan to not let any man in.
Chen Shengbei, who was turned away, could only stand outside the Imperial Clan Court with a faint gaze, looking at the high-walled courtyard in front of him — —
Su Wan, why don't you see me?
He left the Imperial Clan Court in a daze. When Chen Shengbei returned to the guard camp, he saw that Xu Bingyue had been waiting in his room for a long time.
"Big Brother Chen, you went out?"
Seeing Chen Shengbei's bad expression, Xu Bingyue couldn't help but ask with concern.
"I … I went to the Imperial Clan Court."
Chen Shengbei answered absent-mindedly. Hearing his words, Xu Bingyue immediately looked nervous: "Big Brother Chen, then … did you see Sister Su Wan?"
Chen Shengbei shook his head and turned to sit on a wooden chair at the side: "She refused to see me. Bingyue, do you think she doesn't believe me? In fact, I have always believed that she is innocent! "
"Big Brother Chen."
Hearing Chen Shengbei's words, Xu Bingyue's eyes flashed slightly and her face also showed a very anxious look: "Big Brother Chen, maybe you misunderstood Sister Su Wan. After this happened, she might … not want to implicate you?"
"Yes!"
Hearing Xu Bingyue's words, Chen Shengbei's eyes lit up: "Bingyue, you're right! Xiao Wan definitely doesn't want to implicate me. She is really too kind. Now that she refuses to see me, how can I express my feelings? "
Frowning and hesitating for a moment, Chen Shengbei suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Bingyue in front of him with bright eyes: "Bingyue, help me go to the Imperial Clan Court to see Su Wan! If it's you, she will definitely see you! At that time, you can convey my intentions to her, let her believe me and let her see me, how about it? "
"This … …"
Hearing Chen Shengbei's request, Xu Bingyue's little face showed a hint of hesitation: "Big Brother Chen, you don't know, but Sister Xiao Wan's temper is very stubborn. It's difficult to change what she has decided. I'm afraid that if I go over and tell her empty words, she won't believe me, unless … …"
Xu Bingyue's gaze fell on Chen Shengbei's waist. There was also a jade pendant hanging next to the sword he was wearing. That was the token of his engagement with Su Wan.
"Elder Brother Chen, give me the keepsake between you two. I'll show it to Sister Su Wan. With the jade pendant as proof, she should believe your sincerity!"
At this time, Xu Bingyue's words were serious and her face was sincere. Hearing her words, Chen Shengbei naturally had no doubt. He only hesitated for a moment before he had a plan in his heart: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Bingyue!"
As he spoke, Chen Shengbei took off the jade pendant on his waist and solemnly handed it to Xu Bingyue.
With the jade pendant in her hands, Xu Bingyue's heart was excited and nervous, but her face still displayed a very serious expression: "Elder brother Chen, don't worry! I will definitely give this jade pendant to Sister Su Wan. "
Xu Bingyue clenched the jade pendant in her hand tightly. A ruthless glint flashed across her eyes.
How could a sinner like Su Wan be worthy of Shen family's jade pendant?
This jade pendant would be his. It would be his sooner or later!
…
The next day, in the Imperial Clan Court.
Xu Bingyue asked for leave from Liao Siyi early in the morning and took the token to leave the imperial harem and came to the Imperial Clan Court.
At this time, Su Wan had just woken up. The days here were really comfortable and the cell had always been day and night. Last night, she was idle and bored, so she played chess with Su Rui in the cell. As a result, she forgot the time. If it weren't for Wang Yi's reminder, the two of them would probably have played until morning.
After Su Rui went to the morning court, Su Wan didn't eat breakfast on time. Instead, she comfortably took a nap. So when Xu Bingyue came in, she saw that Su Wan was sleepy and listless.
"Sister Su Wan."
Xu Bingyue handed some broken silver to the female supervisor who was in charge of Su Wan. The person immediately opened the cell door for her. Seeing that there were no scars on Su Wan's body, Xu Bingyue's gaze converged. When she raised her eyes again, her eyes were already watery: "Sister, you've suffered these days!"
These tears came really quickly!
Seeing that Xu Bingyue's acting was so exquisite, Su Wan had to cooperate with her and revealed a reluctant smile: "The case hasn't been tried yet. I'm still living comfortably now."
"Then in the future … Sister Su Wan, what if you are really convicted?"
A palace maid having an affair with someone was a capital crime ah! And the object of the affair this time was Rui Wangye.
In fact, Xu Bingyue didn't believe that Su Wan and Rui Wangye were having an affair. If it was Yan Yuqing, that restless person, she would still believe it.
However, what did it matter? It didn't matter whether she believed it or not. The main thing was that His Majesty believed it, and more importantly, she wanted Chen Shengbei to believe it!
"If I really can't escape the death penalty, I will also accept it."
Su Wan sighed: "It's just that I have to let you worry about me. I feel very sorry."
"Sister Su Wan, what are you saying? We are sisters, so we naturally have to share weal and woe. And Brother Chen … "
Speaking of Chen Shengbei, Xu Bingyue's eyes flickered a few times: "Sister, why don't you see Brother Chen? Both of us really want to help you and save you. If you don't see him, these two days … he has been very worried! "
Xu Bingyue deliberately used the words "both of us" in order to attract Su Wan's attention.
Sure enough, when Su Wan heard Xu Bingyue's words, she seemed to hesitate for a moment and there was some suspicion on her face. At this time, Xu Bingyue deliberately took a few steps forward and lifted her palace skirt: "Come sister, your body is weak. Let me support you."
The moment she moved, the jade pendant on her waist was immediately revealed.
Seeing the jade pendant that Xu Bingyue carried with her, Su Wan froze. Her face was pale as she slowly raised her hand and her fingers gently touched the jade pendant on Xu Bingyue's waist: "Bingyue, this jade pendant, this jade pendant is …"
"Ah? This jade pendant! "
Xu Bingyue suddenly let go of Su Wan's hands, her pretty face full of panic: "Sister Su Wan, this jade pendant was not given to me by Brother Chen. I bought it myself. Didn't I think that piece of yours was very nice? So I … "
"Don't lie to me."
Su Wan's expression was somewhat complicated: "There is a small Shen character engraved at the bottom of this jade pendant. This is the Song Xi of the Shen family. I won't mistake it."
Seeing Su Wan's certainty, Xu Bingyue immediately knelt down: "Sister Su Wan, I didn't do you wrong, but Shengbei and I, we really love each other! I actually always wanted to tell you about this, but … I was afraid that you couldn't take the blow. Now that something like this happened to you, Shengbei and I couldn't bear to tell you about this! Sister Su Wan, everything is my fault. I couldn't help myself. Don't blame Brother Shengbei. He didn't lie to you on purpose! Don't blame him. If you want to hate someone, hate me. If you want to blame someone, blame me! "
As she spoke, Xu Bingyue raised her head with tears on her face and her hands tightly grabbed Su Wan's white prison uniform: "Sister, if you want to hit or scold me, Bingyue will never complain."
Su Wan's expression was ugly as she took a few steps back, her whole body trembling slightly.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xu Bingyue had to cry even harder.
"Forget it."
Su Wan gently brushed away Xu Bingyue's hands that were grabbing her clothes: "This may be fate. When I'm gone, you will take care of him. I can rest assured."
"Sister Su Wan?"
When Xu Bingyue heard Su Wan's words, she immediately stood up and grabbed her arm excitedly: "You're willing to forgive us?"
"Feelings can't be forced. Since you really love each other, the engagement between me and him doesn't count."
As she spoke, Su Wan turned back to her bedside and took out her jade pendant: "Return this to him. It's considered returning it to its rightful owner."
"Thank you, thank you."
Xu Bingyue held the jade pendant that Su Wan handed over. This time, her heart was truly at ease — —
This time, Su Wan completely cut off her feelings for Chen Shengbei. Then no matter how Chen Shengbei begged for mercy, Su Wan wouldn't see him again.
And with this jade pendant, she would have an excuse in front of Chen Shengbei when she went back!
Xu Bingyue, who had achieved her goal, said a few perfunctory words to Su Wan and then hurriedly turned and left. Looking at her departing back, Su Wan could imagine that her face must be full of pride at this time — —
Xu Bingyue, I'll let you be proud for the time being.
