Chapter 518 You Are the Only One in My Palace
The wife of Prince Yi came to the palace to see off the fifteenth prince, and was severely scolded by Yao Changzai.
It is said that he went to the Yangxin Palace crying to apologize, and returned to the palace crying again.
Hongli was so angry that he ordered people to slap Ruyi in the face in the street. It can be said that he threw all her dignity to the ground and stepped on it, and he also ordered the palace maids and eunuchs to follow suit.
When Yan Wan heard the news, she went to the Yangxin Palace on purpose. After coaxing the emperor, she passed by the long street where Ruyi was.
When she arrived, Ruyi was still being slapped.
Yan Wan was surprised and stopped Jin Zhong who was carrying out the execution: "It's been so long? Why are you still beating?"
Jinzhong quickly raised his eyes to glance at Yan Wan, then quickly lowered his eyes: "In reply to the Imperial Concubine, the Emperor is worried that Concubine Yao will not remember the lesson, so he asked me to slap her every half an hour. This is the third time now."
Yan Wan looked at his hands hidden under his sleeves with pity, and finally looked at Ruyi.
Ruyi's chest was filled with violent emotions. Today, every time someone looked at her strangely, she wanted to kill everyone even more.
And Wei Yanwan's condescending gaze stimulated her even more.
In the past, she was the imperial concubine, and Yan Wan was a palace maid who had to pray to Ling Yunche before she could talk to her.
Now, Wei Yanwan is in a high position, with many children, and the fate of the damned child has actually changed.
Just because Wei Yanwan was reborn a few years earlier?
Ruyi was filled with anger and glared at Yanwan: "Didn't the Imperial Concubine say that she didn't like me and told me to avoid you when I saw you? Why did you come to me today? Do you want to see me laugh?"
Yan Wan leaned on the backrest of the sedan chair, propped up her head and chuckled: "The chief steward didn't eat today?"
Jinzhong really couldn't stand her talking to him in that tone, so he demonstrated to her on the spot what it meant to be "a slap that's silent but hurts a lot."
After five rounds of beating, Ruyi grimaced in silence, not daring to touch her face.
Yan Wan looked at Ruyi with pity: "I really don't understand you. Why do you always remember to eat but not to be beaten?"
Ruyi wanted to go crazy, but she was really in pain, so much so that she couldn't speak.
Yan Wan sneered: "Don't provoke the people I care about again, otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make you uncomfortable."
Ruyi could no longer bear it: "You just hit me, and now you want to hit me again! The other day I provoked Concubine Rong, but what about today? I didn't provoke you at all!"
Yan Wan said with disgust: "A person like you is worthy of raising a child? You have a bad temper, are selfish, and have no sense of shame. If the child follows you, I'm afraid it will be ruined for the rest of his life! Besides, the Imperial Observatory said that the Eighteenth Prince and the Emperor are father and son incompatible. The Emperor is willing to indulge you and is reluctant to kill you, but I will not tolerate you plotting to murder the Emperor!"
Ruyi was so angry that she was shaking all over: "So you are starting to feel sorry for the emperor again today?"
She was so angry that she laughed: "Then tomorrow, will you punish me for the Queen, because I made a fuss and was disrespecting the Queen?"
Yan Wan said calmly: "If you insist on thinking so, it's not impossible for me to teach you a lesson."
Ruyi: “…”
She took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to harm anyone. I just want my child back."
Yan Wan sneered: "You are not worthy of being a mother, how can you be worthy of taking the child back?"
Ruyi thought she was being unreasonable: "That's my own child. It's not for outsiders to decide whether he's worthy or not!"
Yan Wan laughed when she heard this, and her laughter became louder and louder: "You are such an interesting person."
Ruyi was angry at first, but it took her a while to realize why she was laughing - she was mocking her! She was mocking her for treating others and herself differently!
She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say in rebuttal.
But people are different from each other.
She was born into a noble family and had never suffered any hardship since childhood, while Wei Yanwan was just a palace maid...
Yan Wan looked cold: "The emperor is just thinking of the old times, so he always finds excuses to keep your life. Who made me feel sorry for the emperor? I just believed that the emperor had his own arrangements, not only did he keep you alive, but he also stopped others from killing you.
But you must always remember why you are alive today! If your stubbornness causes the emperor to suffer any harm, I will kill you even if I anger the emperor!"
Ruyi's eyes flickered——
What bullshit is nostalgia? Hongli didn't dare to kill her, definitely not because of nostalgia, but because of some reason she didn't know! She thought Wei Yanwan was a clear-headed person, but she didn't expect that she only thought about emotions in everything!
In her previous life, Wei Yanwan softened her heart several times for Ling Yunche, and eventually she let herself be overthrown by him!
In this life, Wei Yanwan saved her life for the emperor again, so I will definitely make her regret it again! Make her die because of a man again!
Just by looking at Ruyi's expression, Yanwan guessed what she was thinking about. Without showing any emotion, she glanced at Jinzhong.
Jinzhong understood her meaning instantly: "Don't worry, Imperial Concubine. The Emperor has already sent people to appease Prince Yi's mansion. The Eighteenth Prince has also been sent to Xiefang Palace and is being taken care of by a caring maid."
Yan Wan's brows relaxed slightly: "Let's go back."
The eunuchs lifted the sedan chair again, and the group went back to Yongshou Palace in a mighty procession.
Jinzhong did not raise his head the whole time, and even after seeing the person off, he did not look back.
Ruyi stared at him, and seeing how foolproof he was, she even began to doubt whether she had guessed wrong - perhaps these two people had no personal relationship, but Wei Yanwan wanted to use Jinzhong, so she bribed him with a large sum of money.
Jinzhong smiled and said, "Ms. Changzai only needs to kneel for another half an hour and then you can go back. You should also feel sorry for the emperor and stop making trouble with him."
Ruyi sneered, but did not dare to ridicule Jinzhong as she did before. She stretched out her hand for Feicui to support her, waved away Rongpei's hand, and staggered back to the Yanx Palace.
On the way, Feicui looked around and saw no one else. She said angrily, "The Imperial Concubine is really the Emperor's most loyal lackey. She beat you up first to please the Emperor and curry favor with him. Now that she heard that the Emperor was angry with you, she immediately came up to bully you and seek credit from the Emperor! She is too vicious!"
Rong Pei hurriedly scolded, "Quiet up! Are you going to die by talking about the Imperial Concubine?!"
Feicui glared at her: "You are a coward, but I am not! I just feel sorry for the master! I only dared to say it because there was no one around!"
Rong Pei wanted to scold her, but Ruyi looked at her coldly: "You just don't like to hear others protect me, right?"
When Rong Pei saw her eyes, she knew she was going to be beaten again. She shook her head with a pale face and said in fear: "Master, I dare not do it anymore. You, you don't have to..."
Ruyi interrupted her coldly: "You will serve me tonight."
When Rong Pei heard this, even her lips turned pale.
Ruyi looked at Feicui again and said softly, "Although she is useless, it is right to be cautious. You must be careful. Now you are the only person I can trust around me."
