Chapter 458: Asking to be sent to the cold palace
"The lady from the imperial court...she knelt at the gate of Yongshou Palace and refused to get up."
There was helplessness in Jinzhong's report, which made Hongli's face darken.
Yan Wan quickly calmed him down: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Women in government offices are always unable to distinguish priorities and always do things unexpectedly. It is normal for the subordinates to be at a loss for a while."
She said softly, "After all, it is in front of my palace gate. I will accompany the emperor to have a look."
Hongli nodded: "Well, let's go, just go and watch the joke."
Yan Wan did not respond to this, but just said: "As long as the emperor does not get angry and get sick, the others will be punished and taught a lesson."
Hongli held Yanwan's hand and they walked to the door.
Ruyi was indeed kneeling outside, and she had even taken a lot of clothes and other things and placed them beside her.
Seeing Hongli coming out holding Yanwan's hand, her eyes instantly burst into jealousy, disgust, and ferocity, and then quickly tears filled her eyelashes: "Your Majesty..."
Yan Wan took a look at the eunuchs' clothes and a smile flashed across her eyes.
Ruyi's behavior is really unpredictable - she actually brought Ling Yunche's old things to ask the emperor to make a decision for Ling Yunche? Is she crazy? What does she think the emperor is? Is she the Fang Yiai who guarded the door for the princess' wife in the Tang Dynasty and had an affair?
Hongli's face was grim: "What are you going to do?"
He really hated it. He hated that there would be a thunderbolt from the sky to strike this evildoer to death. He hated that he couldn't bring himself to say the words to drag her out and beat her to death.
Ruyi shed tears: "Your Majesty, Ling Yunche is dead!"
Hongli was stunned. Ling Yunche? This thing finally died? When did it happen?
He looked at Ruyi, his brows furrowed. "He died, and you cried like you were attending a funeral. Why? Do you think of yourself as his mother, or..."
Ruyi choked: "He saved me, he is my lifesaver! How could the emperor do this..."
Hongli said coldly: "You are not worthy of calling yourself a concubine."
Ruyi stared at him blankly, and the more she looked, the more unfamiliar he seemed to her.
He was even... more arrogant, self-willed, selfish, and chilling than the time he slapped her in her previous life.
Hongli's aura became more and more fierce: "Why are you staring at me like that? Have you learned all the rules?"
He just thought she was embarrassing. It was just a dead eunuch, but she dared to bring that dirty thing to him to cause trouble!
Ruyi burst into tears: "Your Majesty, do you really have to talk to me like this?!"
She was fed up with his superiority. She had been doing it for his own good from the beginning to the end, but he was only good to Wei Yanwan, a treacherous person!
Yan Wan looked down at her and said, "Lady Xianguan, I have to remind you that you are just a low-ranking official. Without the emperor's permission, you cannot look directly at the emperor's face. Or do you want to go to the Shenxingsi to learn some rules?"
Ruyi trembled all over: "No! I won't go to the Shenxingsi!"
Yan Wan looked at her horrified expression and couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty, look at her. When she was a noble concubine, she liked to send people to the Shenxingsi the most, as if there was a requirement for the number of people sent to the Shenxingsi. Now that it's her turn, she can't bear to hear these words at all."
Hongli sneered: "She has always been a believer."
Yan Wan pretended to be confused: "What does this mean?"
Hongli said sarcastically: "It is better for me to die than for my friend to die."
Yan Wan laughed so hard that she leaned on Hongli's arm and said, "Your Majesty, I can't help it when you say that."
She also apologized to Ruyi: "Don't mind it, my lady. I didn't mean to make fun of you. It's just that what the emperor said was too funny."
Ruyi's face turned blue and red, and finally gradually turned purple: "Your Majesty!"
She screamed, "Did the Emperor allow her to bully me and completely disregard our childhood sweetheart relationship?!"
She didn't give Hongli a chance to continue mocking her. She covered her belly and screamed, "Even if you want me to die, do you want the baby in my belly to die too? Are you going to kill your own son?!"
She stared at Hongli and said, "It is not a pity for me to die as a humble servant, but I am afraid that the court and the people will criticize you for murdering your own son!"
Hongli's eyes suddenly darkened: "You went crazy with me just for Ling Yunche?"
Ruyi had a cold face. The long-term repression and flattery had made her endure to the extreme.
She was his wife, and it was his regret day and night that gave her a chance to be reborn, but what did he do? He insulted her again and again, and even took it for granted that she gave up her dignity to please him, and even joined forces with Wei Yanwan to trample on her.
She has endured enough!
She would never save him again!
Let him be deceived by Wei Yanwan, and then he will die with regrets!
She just wanted to protect her child and Rong Pei...
Thinking of this, Ruyi burst into tears: "If the emperor doesn't like me, please throw me to the cold palace! The twelfth prince will not have a good life when he grows up with a mother like me, so let him live with me in the cold palace!"
Hongli looked at her as if he was looking at a madman.
His head ached slightly, and he didn't even want to talk to her: "Someone, someone! Drag her to the cold palace! Since you like it so much, just die there!"
Ruyi waved away Jinzhong's hand, raised her head high, and looked at Hongli coldly: "Your Majesty will regret it one day, but I will never forgive you again!"
She lowered her eyes to glance at the clothes on the ground, and said with tears in her eyes, "I did this for Ling Yunche. Ultimately, it was for the safety of the emperor. Some people can kill Ling Yunche so quietly, so how can they not kill the emperor in the same way?"
After that, she turned around and left: "Rong Pei, let's go, let's go directly to the cold palace, don't take those things from the Yikun Palace, otherwise the emperor will think I want to take advantage of him!"
She was so proud.
Rong Pei couldn't be proud.
She heard the young lady talk about her life in the cold palace, how she and Ling Yunche met, and how she helped her and Suo Xin sell embroidery so that they could have enough food to eat.
She limped after Ruyi and said, "My dear, even if you don't consider yourself, you have to think about the little prince in your belly!"
But Ruyi turned a deaf ear to everything and even felt that Hongli must be staring at her back, waiting for her to regret and beg for mercy.
She shook her head: "Rong Pei, don't look back. Even if I die, I want to die in a dignified way."
Rong Pei's face was full of tears. She wanted to persuade her again, but looking at her empty eyes, she couldn't say anything.
She limped and supported Ruyi, and the two of them looked as miserable as two dying stray dogs.
