At dusk the next day, the royal car hugged each other, and sure enough, it arrived in front of Yikun Palace. At that time, the slanting sun was like gold, shining on the glazed tiles of the palace garden, and the streamer was like fire and glow, dazzling. Ruyi only felt that she was looking forward to seeing through the past few days, and her heart had long been anxious, but she had always held her identity and refused to reveal it in front of others. In this way, there is an extra layer of depression.

When the emperor arrived, the eunuchs gave a round of high-fives, and the palace people outside had already knelt on the ground. Ruyi watched the emperor slowly walk in a homely plain gold dragon robe, his face became clearer and clearer, and if he could closely coincide with the appearance in his heart, somehow, he had a sour meaning.

He has always been what he imagined, but he has never trusted her as she expected.

Ruyi thought vaguely that the emperor had already stepped in. Ruyi bent her knees to greet her: "The emperor is blessed, the concubine has not been seen for many days, and I respectfully ask for Saint Ann here." The four grandmothers followed closely as they could, as if guarding prisoners, refusing to relax an inch. The emperor knew that she had never suffered so much since she came out of the cold palace, not to mention that she was a person with a very high heart, and she was stared at all the time these days, and I was afraid that it would be extremely difficult.

Thinking like this, the emperor's heart softened a little for no reason, and he didn't look at others, but waved his hand: "Go down." ”

The four grandmothers immediately retreated, and the hall became more and more quiet, leaving only the emperor and Ruyi opposite. Ruyi's eyes were full of tears, but she stubbornly refused to cry, wearing a smoke-blue non-embroidered silk robe, which looked more and more like a frosty bamboo, thin and hard and brittle. The emperor sighed lightly, but he was speechless. He glanced over and saw a half-flipped copy of "Caigen Tan" resting on the red sandalwood table in Ruyi's hand, and a little surprise flashed in his eyes: "At this time, do you have the heart to look at this?" ”

The emperor turned the pages of the book lightly with his ten fingers, as if turning the pages of his own worried and fragmented mood. Ruyi's head hangs slightly, and her low sigh is like a thin wind: "If you are in a hurry, you should be lenient or self-evident, and you should not be impatient and angry." The concubine read half of "Caigen Tan", but this sentence is quite in line with her own wishes. ”

The emperor stared at her for a moment: "So you are not in a hurry to plead to me, and you are willing to be quiet and grounded." ”

This sentence is quite warm, evoking Ruyi's eyes full of tears. Ruyi Qiang supported himself and said: "Crying bitterly or being entangled is not the style of concubines. ”

The emperor was silent for a moment, and bowed slightly: "That's why I'm willing to listen to you now." Say, what do you have to argue? ”

The pomegranate trees in front of the court bloomed in clusters, and they were as fierce as burning. She only stared at him and asked insistently: "The concubine has nothing to argue, just ask, is the emperor willing to believe the concubine?" ”

The Emperor refused to look at her. There was a moment of silence, and Ruyi could almost hear the ticking sound of more leakage, each of which was like a thousand feet of broken ice falling into the abyss, stirring up a fragmented remnant. Really, there was only a moment, as if it was just between that breath and breath, which was enough to make the only remaining enthusiasm in her heart turn sharply into the coldness of the smoke and grass.

Finally, the emperor's voice sounded faintly: "It is not whether I am willing or not, but whether my eyes and ears can make my heart accept and believe." ”

Ruyi heard the emperor say this, and her heart tightened a little. "The emperor asked this, is it because he can't ask anything in his mouth?" She stepped forward and knelt down, and said eagerly, "Your Majesty, how many punishments have you suffered?" ”

The emperor's expression was as indifferent as a cloud of smoke in the veins under the slanting sun: "Fang Cai also used the words of "Caigen Tan" to admonish himself not to be impatient, and he was anxious to become like this when he mentioned his heart. She's not going to die. ”

Ruyi listened to the emperor's tone and knew that she couldn't ask anything, but her stomach was full of grievances and hatred entangled into a mess, forcing her to be anxious: "Since the sin is fornication, has the emperor asked Master Anji Bosang?" ”

The emperor's tone was angular and curved: "He only said that he lived alone in a room that day and never left, but there was no one to prove it to him." However, a few young lamas have said that they have seen you talk to him many times in private, and they are more intimate than ordinary concubines. ”

Ruyi pondered for a moment, and said loudly: "The monks don't speak, not to mention that Master Bossang is a high monk. When the concubines talked to the master, they also regarded him as a messenger of the Buddha, regardless of men or women. ”

The emperor glanced at her, took out the Seven Treasures bracelet and the Fang Sheng from his sleeve, and threw them on the brocade red velvet carpet in front of her. That Fang Shengyuan was just a thin piece of gold paper, and there were things wrapped in it, and he couldn't stand it for a while, so the lotus seed broke out and rolled out. The emperor didn't realize it for a while, and the soles of his snow-white boots stepped on the lotus seeds, making a muffled cracking sound, which made people's hearts feel awe-inspiring. The Seven Treasures bracelet was like a colorful dead snake curling in front of her, spitting a dead core.

The emperor sighed: "Since you have moved your mundane thoughts, you have messed up the Dharma, where do you remember the rules and precepts?" He snorted coldly, "When the Holy Ancestor Kangxi was alive, he gave birth to a monk like Cangyang Gyatso, which is contrary to the principles of Buddhism. Now this vein of vulgar thoughts has remained in the blood of these people, and from now on only women can be seen, and the Buddha can no longer be seen?! ”

Ruyi suddenly heard the emperor's cold voice, only to feel that there were fine beads of sweat on his back, like a multi-legged fine worm, burrs crawled through, and the pain and itching were unbearable. She still couldn't bear it in the end: "So what does the emperor plan to do with Master Bossan?" ”

"How can the face of my life be damaged by the ants of the people? Once it is verified, I will remove Angie Bossan. The emperor's tone was understated, but with incomparable disgust, "It doesn't have to be so troublesome to put a person to death." Sometimes I fall and fall to my death, sometimes I eat the wrong thing and die violently, and there is a way. ”

"Such a method will fall on Anji Bosang, and it will also fall on the concubine. Isn't it? Ruyi sneered silently, "Everyone is an ant, whether it is a mage who is respected for a while or an imperial concubine, it is just tossing and turning between the fingers of others to survive." ”

The emperor shook his head: "You don't have to rush to compare yourself with him. ”
