Chapter 510 Please Remember This Lesson
Ruyi stared at Jinzhong, as if she was about to die heroically: "You have to let us be clear-headed!"
Jinzhong smiled politely: "Look at what you said, what is the devil? The emperor will not punish you too harshly no matter what. Isn't it because of this that you dare to say anything and use the emperor's private affairs to win over Qing to promise these young masters?"
Ruyi's face froze.
Qing agreed and stopped crying: "What do you mean? What does the chief steward mean by this?"
Jinzhong said sympathetically, "The palace rules are very strict. When you became a concubine, didn't the nanny tell you the rules for serving the emperor?"
Qing Da Ying looked confused and tried hard to recall, then his face gradually turned pale.
The maid who came to deliver the imperial edict said that it was okay to compete for favor in the palace, but one must strictly abide by the palace rules and never overstep the boundaries. Otherwise, losing favor would be a small matter, but losing one's life or even bringing harm to the family would be a great sin.
She didn't think anything of it at the time, but now she suddenly realized what she had done wrong.
Yao Guiren is the emperor's favorite concubine. Relying on the emperor's favor, she can naturally do whatever she wants, without regard for integrity and shame, and disregard etiquette. But she...if she implicates the emperor's Mingshang, sending her to the cold palace would be the lightest punishment. The real misfortune would be to let her die suddenly and then punish her family.
She was so blinded by the glory of sleeping with the emperor that she had never realized this.
Seeing Ruyi still holding her ground with a cold expression, like a hero with great righteousness in her heart, Qing Da Ying felt a burning fire in her heart; "Bitch! You bitch! It's all your fault! I was originally a girl from a good family, I know the rules of propriety, righteousness, and shame, but you lowered your status and wanted to drag me to serve the emperor with you..."
Jinzhong frowned, asked someone to seal her mouth, and warned: "Even if Qing Daren really wants to die, don't you think about your loved ones at home?"
Qing Da Ying was terrified and tried to sob and beg for mercy, but he was dragged away.
Ruyi's face flushed, and she stared at Jinzhong angrily: "Are you satisfied?"
Jinzhong said helplessly: "Lady Yao is still the same as before, she likes to talk to herself."
Without waiting for Ruyi to speak, he continued, "But it doesn't matter. The emperor specifically asked me to teach Concubine Yao a lesson. I believe that after a day and a night, when Concubine Yao opens her mouth again, she will understand what the strict palace rules mean and what the majesty of heaven cannot be offended."
Ruyi's eyes widened and she shuddered violently: "What are you going to do?! That's what the emperor likes, it's what the emperor wants!"
Jinzhong said softly, "Before the execution, I want to tell you one thing. The emperor is so powerful that he cannot make mistakes."
Ruyi was unwilling and angry: "But it's obviously..."
Jinzhong interrupted her: "Come on, put something in Lady Yao's mouth, so that she won't bite her tongue if she talks carelessly."
He looked at Ruyi patiently and gently, as if he was looking at an ignorant child, and he would naturally let her know what it meant that if the emperor wanted you to take the blame, you had to take the blame, and if the emperor wanted to use you and then throw you away, then even if you had to risk your reputation to serve him, you had to be his scapegoat.
Ruyi sobbed and couldn't help but shivering with a pale face.
……
If Jinzhong said one day and one night, then it really was one day and one night.
The next day he personally sent Ruyi back to the Yanx Palace.
Ruyi was even sitting in the sedan chair specially granted by the emperor. Everyone would think that the emperor really doted on her. Just as she had offended Concubine Jia, the emperor put all the blame on Concubine Qing. Instead, he asked Ruyi to leave in peace and granted her a sedan chair. It seemed that he was afraid that she would be wronged.
But only Ruyi, with her dazed look, knew the hardships involved.
For the first time, when she thought of A Ruo, she was no longer angry and disgusted, but felt empathy.
It turns out that the emperor's method of giving face in public but torturing people in secret is so despicable and cruel - he might as well kill her directly!
Before the sedan chair was even carried to the gate of the Yanx Palace, the shrill cry of a child inside could already be heard clearly.
Ruyi's eyeballs moved, and then her body moved with them. Then, sharp pain swept through her whole body.
She turned her head slowly and looked at Jinzhong.
Jinzhong ordered someone to get off the sedan chair, and when he saw Rongpei coming out, he said, "Madam Aruo, please help Concubine Yao go back. Concubine Yao has suffered a great crime this time, and the emperor is very sympathetic and has given her a tranquilizer. Remember to let Concubine Yao drink it."
After saying that, he even groaned, "Why is Eighteenth Prince crying like this? If he continues to make a scene like this, I'm afraid the Emperor will be angry."
Ruyi was damn sensitive. She realized that the emperor might be thinking of giving the child away.
Her blood boiled and she felt even more miserable.
Jinzhong looked at her and asked, "My dear lady, do you have any other instructions?"
When Ruyi looked at his respectful and docile appearance, she felt a chill in her heart. This vicious eunuch was truly cruel and vicious, several times more vicious than Wei Yanwan. It was fortunate that he died early in his previous life, otherwise, she would probably not have been able to bring down Wei Yanwan.
She lowered her eyes quickly, fearing that he would see her malicious gaze and make things difficult for her in front of the emperor: "Eunuch Jinzhong, please go back and serve the emperor."
Jinzhong responded respectfully and politely, "Please remember the lesson this time, my dear lady, and never cause trouble for the emperor again."
Ruyi got goosebumps all over her body and nodded nervously: "Never again!!!"
Her sharp voice startled everyone.
Ruyi didn't care what others thought. She staggered, holding Rong Pei's hand, and walked into the house trembling all over.
The eunuch who came with Jinzhong gave Lianyun the "calming soup" prepared by the Imperial Hospital: "Make sure to cook it immediately for the noble lady to eat, so that she won't feel unwell."
Lian Yun nodded, took the medicine bag, respectfully saw Jinzhong and the others off, then carried the medicine bag into the inner courtyard.
As soon as I entered, I saw Rong Pei waiting at the door with a cold face; "This medicine..."
Lian Yun interrupted her: "Since this medicine was given by the chief steward, you must take it. Otherwise, if you delay the emperor's order, will Aunt A Ruo bear the consequences of disobeying the order?"
Rong Pei naturally couldn't afford it, but she really didn't feel comfortable letting Ruyi take the medicine, so she said stiffly, "I'll ask the imperial physician how to make the medicine. It won't delay anything."
Lian Yun didn't give it to her.
Rong Pei said irritably, "At worst you can just come with me! Can I still change the medicine?"
Lian Yun said coldly, "Madame A'ruo is brave and not afraid of death, but we servants are as timid as mice and are afraid of bringing trouble to our family and friends!"
Rong Pei glared at her angrily and said coldly, "Is it okay for me to call Doctor Jiang over? You just wait. It won't delay you from showing your loyalty to the chief steward!!!"
