Before they left Changchun Garden, Tong Ruofei was sent back to the Forbidden City. In the Chengqian Palace, there is no longer the excitement of the past, and Tong Ruofei's cronies have been removed one by one, leaving only Pian Xue alone.

She was imprisoned here, in the same house where she had lived for more than twenty years.

Only now did she feel that this splendid Chengqian Palace, this gorgeous and extravagant dormitory, was so empty and lonely.

Tong Ruofei had never felt the cold, but he felt it in the middle of summer. It was clearly the hottest time, but it made her feel colder than the cold winter of the previous years.

"Mother, this is the lunch delivered today." Lian Xue came over with two porcelain bowls: "Let's eat first." ”

Tong Ruofei glanced at the food in the porcelain bowl and smiled sarcastically: "Why, this palace has not been convicted, but it is just grounded, can you use such a thing to fool this palace?" ”

"Mother, these are the things that the slave maid used to buy the guards guarding the door with the objects in the house. Let's eat it first. Lian Xue had tears in her eyes, there was still meat in this porcelain bowl, and it was sent yesterday, but it was only a porridge dish. Even she had never eaten anything like that, let alone a noble person like Tong Ruofei.

Tong Ruofei was stunned for a moment, glared at Lian Xue fiercely, and scolded angrily: "Bastard things, things in the palace house, when did you control them?" This palace didn't say to give it away, but you actually gave it to someone else privately? ”

Lian Xue was shocked by Tong Ruofei's scolding, and wanted to defend herself, but she was powerless to refute. What can she say? So what?

"Sister, it's better to be kind to Lianxue, the trees are falling and scattered, and those palace maids and eunuchs in the past you used to either do some hard work in the Xinzhi Library, or suffered in the Shen Penal Division. If you have mercy on you, you should be content. After all, without her, how can you live alone in this huge Chengqian Palace? Tong Ruohua's voice was heard from a distance, Tong Ruofei looked up, saw her dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked lightly, and walked towards her.

This dress was specially cut by Tong Ruofei a few years ago and given to Tong Ruohua, the material is Shu brocade, the workmanship is fine, and the patterns are complex and novel. gave it to Tong Ruohua, just because she likes such colors and such valuable things.

But I didn't expect that Tong Ruohua would wear the clothes she gave her today and come to Chengqian Palace to humiliate herself.

"What are you going to do?" Tong Ruofei asked expressionlessly.

Tong Ruohua walked closer, stood behind her, and reached out to touch the golden hairpin on her bun. Tong Ruohua recognizes this hairpin, it is Tong Ruofei's beloved thing, and Tong Ruofei wears this hairpin almost every day.

Tong Ruofei was grounded in the Chengqian Palace, except that there was no one to wait, and there was no food and clothing in the past, but she still had what she originally had.

Today, she is still dignified and elegant, and although her clothes are not the most novel, they are still one of the most luxurious clothes in the past. The gold hairpins and silk flowers on the bun are also first-class good things. In the eyes of outsiders, she is still the graceful and luxurious imperial concubine. But because he was seriously ill, he didn't go out.

"When I came back from Changchun Garden today, I came to visit my sister." Tong Ruohua's fingers stroked the golden hairpin, and with a slight twitch, he took the golden hairpin off.

Tong Ruofei didn't look back, let alone reprimand, just looked into the distance lightly.

"I heard that this hairpin was had when my sister was not out of the cabinet, and now I still wear it, my sister is really nostalgic." Tong Ruohua's voice was very small, so small that even Lian Xue next to her didn't hear her next words: "I heard that this was a gift from Prince Gong back then, I wonder if the emperor can know?" ”

Tong Ruofei's face changed greatly, and he was displeased, but he couldn't bear it.

Seeing her like this, Tong Ruohua covered her mouth and smiled, and said happily: "Sister, don't you ask me why I did this?" ”

"But glory and wealth, if you want to take it, this palace is not rare." Tong Ruofei said it lightly, but her heart was not as calm as she said.

Tong Ruohua chuckled, looked into her eyes and said, "Sister really doesn't care? If you don't care, what are you fighting for so many years? In one breath? Isn't the right that my sister has always wanted to have? When you entered the palace, you were crowned a concubine, but there was Empress Renxiao and Concubine Wan at that time to suppress it. Even if the Queen Mother likes you, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are very average to you. You still wear the hairpin given by Prince Gong, and you don't like the emperor so much. Since you don't like the emperor, you have been rampant and domineering in the palace for so many years, and you have calculated so many people, why? Isn't it glory and wealth? Doesn't it have anything to do with the word rights? Sister, ask yourself, do you believe in yourself? ”

"If you're here just to say that, you don't have to. I don't care about your words. So far, there is nothing to lose in this palace, and you can't humiliate this palace. Tong Ruofei was dismissive.

Tong Ruohua smiled again, sat down, and continued to talk to himself: "Okay, you don't want to hear it, but I want to say it." You should know, you can't let me suffer alone. Actually, it was Tong Ruoxin who was sent to the palace at the beginning, she is your own sister, and she is gentle and intelligent, so she can naturally get the favor of the emperor and help you compete for the throne. Maybe at this time, it won't be Concubine Yi who is outside. ”

"Aren't you also Hongu's own sister? But how? It's just a villain stabbed in the back. Tong Ruofei wanted not to be angry, but every time he remembered that day when Tong Ruohua bit back and slandered her, he felt very uncomfortable. Obviously, Tong Ruohua wanted to deal with Jing Hao by herself, and she couldn't end the scene, she helped Tong Ruohua, and now she has become the mastermind. Other things are more or less related to her, but she is really wronged in this matter.

Come to think of it, it was precisely because of this incident that she relaxed her vigilance against Lan Xin and believed her.

Tong Ruohua said: "No, no, no, you and I are not sisters. I'm just a pet raised by your mother, not liked by her, not hated by her. ”

Tong Ruohua's tone suddenly changed, with a little sadness: "When I was a child, I also thought that Mrs. Tong was my mother, but I never understood why she was always hot and cold to me. is extremely fond of Tong Ruoxin and spoiled. Even Ama is better and closer to Tong Ruoxin. Later, I saw with my own eyes that on the day of my birthday, Mrs. Tong was paying tribute to others. She cried, and all she missed was a child who was born on the same day as me. It turned out that when she gave birth, the child died the moment she was born. My good Amma, who loves his wife, in order not to make Mrs. Tong sad, secretly sent the daughter of the concubine who was born on the same day as Mrs. Tong's own flesh and blood. But this hard work was still known by Mrs. Tong. ”

The more Tong Ruohua said, the more sad she became: "In order to never leave future troubles, in order to win her husband's heart, Mrs. Tong ruthlessly changed the decoction of the concubine who was already seriously ill because of the loss of her beloved daughter, so that this secret would not be exposed." In this way, the child grows up to be nothing like her, and no one doubts it. But it didn't take long for Mrs. Tong to give birth to a daughter, who loved her like a treasure. Tong Ruoxin and I, I originally thought they were the same. But it turned out to be one in heaven and one on the earth. ”

Tong Ruofei was a little surprised when she heard this, she didn't know that there was such a thing happening in the house. When Tong Ruohua was born, she had already entered the palace. Maybe it's because she entered the palace that something like this happened.

originally thought that Tong Ruohua had finished speaking, but I heard her babbling: "Later, I grew up and reached the age of marriage." Amma found a marriage for me, but when I was about to make a marriage, I suddenly changed my mind. Because the Tong family decided to send another daughter to the palace, the original plan was to send Tong Ruoxin to the palace. But Mrs. Tong was not happy, she said that Tong Ruoxin was still young, and she should consider me first. However, is it really because Tong Ruoxin is still young? No! Because Tong Ruoxin is her baby daughter, but I'm not, I'm just the daughter of a fire-burning girl who Ama was pampered after she was drunk, I am humble, even if I am the second daughter of the Tong family. In her mind, she is not as good as Tong Ruoxin. When entering the palace, if you have a favor, you have to share a man with many women, and if you don't have a favor, you will be lonely for a lifetime. No matter how high the status is, no matter how favored by the emperor is, she is just a concubine. What's more, Mrs. Tong already has a biological daughter in the palace, and she is not doing well, so she is naturally reluctant to send another one in. So, she sacrificed me. ”

Tong Ruofei suddenly remembered Tong Ruoxin's family affairs, and said in surprise: "That day, Concubine Yun suddenly mentioned it to the old ancestor, saying that her fourth brother took a fancy to Tong Ruoxin and asked the old ancestor to give him a marriage. Is this because of you? ”

"That's right, I entered the palace as her and suffered for her in the palace, do you think I will make her feel better?" Tong Ruohua showed a smile, her teeth were terrifyingly white, and she said gloomily: "What Tong Ruoxin likes is indeed their son-in-law, but it is the seventh son-in-law, Ah Ling'a, who is my good sister, and you personally asked for Laneige for Ah Ling'a." Not only that, because the Tong family and the Niu Hulu family have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, the fourth son, Yan Zhu, does not like the Tong family, and even dislikes Tong Ruoxin very much. There was never love between them, only endless resentment. I heard that Tong Ruoxin is now sick again and his life is dying. What if she has the Tong family as her backing, but after all, she can't fight Laneige, and she can't fight Alinga's biological mother, who is the head of the house. And all of this is because of you, because you are going to marry Laneige to Alinga and cut off her love. I sent someone to reveal the news to Concubine Yun Guifei and told her that Yan Zhu admired Tong Ruoxin. Concubine Yun is also a wonderful person, and she really made the ancestor agree to this marriage. If not, how could Tong Ruoxin die at a young age because of this family business? Thanks to you, Imperial Princess. ”

Hearing this, Tong Ruofei was furious, raised his hand and gave Tong Ruohua a slap, and roared in a low voice: "Poisonous woman, for your own selfish desires, regardless of the reputation of the Tong family, you conspired with outsiders to frame your sister and force your sister to death. You ......"

Tong Ruohua didn't expect her to hit herself, she was a little surprised, but she smiled, and before she finished speaking, she slapped her backhand back. Five clear fingerprints appeared on Tong Ruofei's face, and at this moment, Tong Ruohua used all his strength.

"You're embarrassed to say to me, which one of you did was good? Have you killed fewer people? How many souls in this Forbidden City are because of your calculations? You are only using others and framing others for your own selfish desires. Why do you accuse me? Tong Ruohua shot back fiercely: "In the end, you are not qualified." If you had treated me better after I entered the palace, I wouldn't have done that. When Concubine Yi threw out an olive branch, I accepted it without hesitation, because I didn't want to be suppressed by you, and I didn't want to be at your mercy anymore. You think that Concubine Jing and Concubine De are sincere to you, but they are not. They have betrayed you now, just like I do. You think I'm really ignorant, but in fact, when I first entered the palace, I was blindly jealous of her and was used by Jing Concubine. Why do you think I suddenly attacked Concubine Jing? That's because Wang Tian was instigated by that slut. It was only later that I realized that she was using me. ”

"You ......" Tong Ruofei was so angry that he was almost speechless, and his face was hot and painful. In her life, no one has ever beaten her. Even when Xuan Ye interrogated her that day, he was so angry that he didn't do anything to her.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that no one but a few of us know about your house arrest. The people of the Tong family always thought that you had a stubborn illness and had to be quarantined. Tong Ruohua sneered and said a little proudly: "In the near future, they will no longer rely on you." Because you can only be in the Chengqian Palace forever, you can't do anything. The Tong family, it's time for renewal. The old doesn't go, and the new doesn't come. Without you, the Tong family still has me. ”

Tong Ruohua didn't wait for Tong Ruofei to react, and walked away without looking back.

She didn't see it, and the moment she turned around, Tong Ruofei couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Her grace and magnificence were gone, and tears began to appear in the corners of her eyes.
