Chapter 517 He Cheated Her Again
Chapter 517 He Cheated Her Again
Yanwan clearly wanted to punish Ruyi. Although the servants did not dare to really step on their master's face, they could not help but do their job carelessly.
For example, the monthly allowance for the Yanx Palace is always paid last. Not only is it paid late, but it will also be delayed for a few days for various reasons.
For example, the food delivered from the imperial kitchen always tasted a little worse. It was obviously the dishes that the chef prepared for his apprentices to practice. Although the ingredients were still the same, the taste was naturally incomparable to that of the chef.
With all these things happening, Ruyi, who had already enjoyed many days on the southern tour ship, really couldn't stand it anymore.
But what made her even more unbearable was that she couldn't bring her son back.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean? What do you mean by peace outside the palace? Prince Yi raised the child well? Did I raise the child badly? Does it mean that the two years I spent raising the child without sleep mean that I am nothing in the eyes of Your Majesty?"
Hongli was very annoyed. When she was too sick to get out of bed, she was actually the quietest and most lovable. "Either, Xiao Shiba will be raised by Prince Yi, or she will be adopted by Prince Yi directly. It's up to you."
Ruyi was going crazy: "You... that's your own son!"
Hongli looked at her in annoyance: "Can you please stop messing around? I've already told you that Xiao Shiba and I have conflicting horoscopes, and he's not in good health. I'm afraid he'll get into an accident, so I'm keeping him outside the palace. Do you think I feel good about that?"
Ruyi was so angry that she almost laughed: "In the past six months, I have missed my child day and night, and I couldn't eat or drink, but the emperor has gained a lot of weight. Do you still need to ask me if you are feeling well?"
Hongli said angrily: "How outrageous! You are so outrageous!"
He called out to Jinzhong: "Take her..."
Ruyi said sternly, "If the emperor asks him to torture me again, I will hit my head against the wall to avoid being tortured in vain!"
Hongli shouted angrily: "How dare you!"
Ruyi also shouted: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, then let's see if I dare to do it!"
She was really scared, and was driven crazy by the crazy women in the palace. They all treated her like a slave and beat her! Is there any justice in the world? !
Hongli was so angry that he wanted to peel off Ruyi's skin, but he was really afraid that if he pushed her too far, something would happen to harm him: "You... don't be unreasonable. I gave Xiao Shiba to Prince Yi, and he really hasn't had an attack since then.
I really am incompatible with him. If you don't believe me, think carefully. When he was in the palace, he often cried and was weak. But after he left the palace, he stopped crying and his body got better. If you don't believe me, I will ask Prince Yi's wife to bring him to the palace today for you to see."
Seeing that he looked sincere and didn't seem to be lying, Ruyi believed him a little, "Then...then the emperor should issue an order to summon him now!"
Hongli wanted to get angry when he heard her bossy tone, but he was afraid that she would go crazy and commit suicide, so he held back and said, "Jinzhong, you go and bring the Eighteenth Prince to the palace yourself!"
Jinzhong let out a cry and immediately left the palace.
Two hours later, Prince Yi's wife came into the palace with her child.
After being raised outside the palace for more than two years, the Eighteenth Prince looked taller and stronger, and his eyes no longer had the fierce gleam they had in the past. Instead, he had some of the qualities of a royal prince - but his features did not resemble those of the Emperor.
Prince Yi's wife was very happy, but also very nervous: "Is the emperor going to take the eighteenth prince back?"
It’s not that she doesn’t like the child, it’s just that this prince is of noble status and is sick. Even the Crown Prince Duanhui, who was loved by both the Empress and the Emperor, couldn’t keep him alive at the time. How could they, the Prince Yi’s Mansion, keep him alive?
If I die in their house again, the emperor will definitely blame me.
Jinzhong kindly pointed out: "The emperor trusts Prince Yi and his wife very much, but Yao Changzai is always making trouble, so the emperor asked you to bring the little prince into the palace for Yao Changzai to take a look."
The wife of Prince Yi's eyes flickered slightly.
This means... if you want to keep the Eighteenth Prince, you have to continue to rely on Yao Chang to make trouble with this favored concubine.
Then, the Eighteenth Prince must not be allowed to show any intention of lingering in Prince Yi's Mansion, and he must do it perfectly so that the Emperor cannot see through it.
After all, this child is unlucky for the emperor. If the Prince Yi's Mansion doesn't want to raise him, who knows if the emperor will suspect that the prince wants to harm him!
Fu Jin thought for a while and then got on the carriage. Looking at the small Eighteenth Prince sitting there obediently, it was hard to imagine how weak and crazy he had been before.
She felt sorry for a moment.
The prince said that the child must have had a hard time in the Yanx Palace, which was why he developed that kind of personality.
In order to adjust the child's temperament, she and the prince spent a lot of effort, and finally gradually guided him to become the humble and gentlemanly little adult he is today.
But soon, her reluctance was suppressed.
She couldn't joke with Man Fu's lives.
If something really happened to the Eighteenth Prince, even if the Emperor kept his promise and did not blame him, Yao Changzai was a lunatic, and this lunatic was also the favorite concubine whom the Emperor was unwilling to kill.
She could only feel sorry for the child.
Fu Jin held the Eighteenth Prince's wrist and said, "Good boy, I'm going to take you to the palace to see your mother today. Are you nervous?"
The Eighteenth Prince shook his head and was about to speak, but the carriage turned abruptly and he leaned to the outside.
Just as he tilted his head, Fu Jin also tilted his head. She accidentally pulled him too hard and left a scratch on his thin little arm.
Fu Jin sat up straight and picked up the Eighteenth Prince to check on him: "Are you okay? Are you hurt? You are about to enter the palace. If you get hurt and your mother sees it, she will definitely blame us at the Prince Yi's Mansion for not taking good care of you!"
The Eighteenth Prince was always very sensitive to people's hearts. His eyes, which were originally full of admiration, froze for a moment, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart: "...I'm fine, don't worry."
Having said that, I didn’t want to say anything more.
Since her concern for him is not genuine, she would definitely feel very embarrassed if he forced her to show his true heart to her.
But, I felt very uncomfortable.
Prince Yi and his wife treated him really well, in a completely different way from how his mother treated him.
Compared to his mother's overly intense love, he actually prefers this kind of long-lasting companionship, which is very stable and warm.
But he is his biological mother's child after all, and he is seriously ill. He will die sooner or later. It is normal for people to be afraid of taking responsibility.
But even though he understood it in his heart, he still felt very uncomfortable.
After all, he was just a child, and he felt sad, so he naturally couldn't laugh. Therefore, the moment he appeared in front of Ruyi, Ruyi understood clearly that her son was not treated well!
Hongli, he deceived her again!
