If Concubine Rui died under Emperor Zhao's whip, it would be the greatest misfortune in her life.

This man has long since stopped loving her, not only did he never care about her, he never understood her, and now he even beats her to death.

"Your Majesty!"

Concubine Rui raised her bright and clear eyes, and there was a little more determination and determination in her eyes.

She straightened her waist and said to Emperor Zhao in a commanding tone: "If I die, transport my body back to my hometown." ”

"Ho, what's your tone?" Emperor Zhao was very angry, is this the attitude that a concubine should have?

"Don't you know that in the palace, except for the palace maids and eunuchs, no one else can be transported back to their hometowns when they die, and must be buried in a designated place?"

Yes, in the Great Hui Dynasty it was such a rule.

As long as she is the emperor's woman, she will no longer have the opportunity to choose where she will be buried after death.

Everything has to be according to the rules set by our ancestors, and no one is exempt.

Only those palace maids and eunuchs who served in the palace could not only be brought back by their families. And after reaching a certain age, you can also be allowed to go home from the palace and marry as you wish. And the internal service will also give these palace maids and eunuchs a little silver, which can be regarded as a favor from the royal family to them.

If it is a particularly good slave like Gonggong Hai, he will be left by his master to be promoted and make a fortune.

So Gonggong Hai never thought of going out of the palace to find his happiness again, he thought that like him, there was probably no happiness at all.

After all, marrying a wife and having children has long been out of his mind.

The little eunuchs brought Emperor Zhao's leather whip, and they didn't dare to disobey the emperor's will, so they could only hurriedly present the leather whip.

Emperor Zhao held the leather whip in his right hand, and instantly felt it. To be honest, it's been a long time since he's been venting his furious side.

"Ruifei, I hope you can learn from ......"

Emperor Zhao raised his leather whip high, and his hands were full of strength.

Ruifei's throat moved, and she closed her eyes.

Her back was still straight, straighter than ever.

Well, it's not the first time he's beaten a woman anyway.

I still remember that when the queen Wu Yashi was pregnant with the crown prince Li Haochen, she also kicked the queen Wu Ya's back a few times because of a little concubine.

Now that I think about it, the stupidity of the crown prince Li Haochen may also have to bear some relationships.

"Concubine Rui, I'm not here to beat you, I just hope you can understand some truth."

Got the point?

This reasoning sounds ridiculous.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is back!"

Emperor Zhao's whip was waved in mid-air, but he was startled by the eunuch who suddenly ran in.

The prince is back?!

Even if his brain was short-circuited in an instant, he couldn't react at all for a while.

Should this be joyful or sad?

I have always disliked the prince, but no matter what, the prince has always been his own son.

Alas, he is getting older and older, but he has only one son.

That's it, that's it, let's go and greet it.

So he decisively threw the leather whip to the ground, and simply pulled Gonggong Hai and walked out.

"Haifu, go, accompany me to pick up the prince."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty."

Gonggong Hai was naturally willing to accompany the emperor to pick up the prince, so that Concubine Rui's crisis would be lifted.

The crown prince Li Haochen got off the horse and looked at everything in front of him unfamiliarly.

It's only been a few months since he's gone, so how can it seem like years?

Everything here became so depressed and gloomy, and his mood gradually became gloomy.

Sure enough, the impact of the environment on people is huge, and when he is on the road, he is so excited that he can't sleep at night, even if he is accompanied by a large group of frosty soldiers, but he is still so happy that he wants to sing at any time.

But when he actually came back, he felt like he was a prisoner bird again.

Queen Wu Yashi had been waiting here for a long time, and because Concubine Xiao was still in the period of recuperation, it was inconvenient to move around, so only two women, the queen and Princess Anping, came to greet her.

"Chen'er! Is that you? Is it really you? ”

"Well, it's my son, my mother."

"Chen'er, my mother's favorite Chen'er is finally back."

Empress Wu Ya's tears flowed down her eyes.

Princess Anping, who was standing on the side, saw it in her eyes and sighed with emotion.

The reunion of mother and son, this scene is so touching.

Li Jingnan handed his hand stove to Li Haochen, "His Royal Highness the Prince, beware of the cold." ”

Only then did Li Haochen notice that he was by Princess Anping's side, and after half a year, his cousin Li Jingnan was a little taller again.

"Thank you, cousin."

Li Haochen took it in his hand, it was indeed quite warm.

Princess Anping suggested that everyone go back to the room and slowly cook their home, so as not to stand outside and catch a cold.

Empress Wu Yashi and Li Haochen both agreed.

"The emperor has arrived—"

But the arrival of Emperor Zhao seems to be breaking all this beauty.

Emperor Zhao got down from the step and walked quickly to Li Haochen.

He patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "It's good, this kid has grown a lot stronger." ”

Li Haochen frowned slightly, and Queen Wu Yashi directly covered her nose.

Princess Anping pouted and said, "Which palace did the emperor drink in again?" ”

The smell of wine on Emperor Zhao's body was so great that everyone was about to have difficulty breathing.

But he is the king of a country, and who dares to say anything.

Only Princess Anping dared to ask.

"I ......" lowered his head and sniffed his cuffs, and it was indeed a strong smell of wine.

smiled awkwardly, "I was in Concubine Rui's palace just now." ”

"Ruifei?" Princess Anping thought about it, and it seemed that she hadn't talked to Concubine Rui for a long time.

She knew that Concubine Rui was also a lonely woman, so she often went to Concubine Rui's palace to sit when she was fine.

"Today your family is reunited. Well, I won't bother you to have a good time. Jingnan, you can accompany me to the Ruifei Palace for a walk. ”

Li Jingnan: "Yes, aunt. ”

The two were about to turn around and leave, but were stopped by Emperor Zhao.

"Wait a minute."

Princess Anping turned her head and stared at him suspiciously.

"What's wrong?"

She is Emperor Zhao's sister, and she doesn't need to be scared in front of Emperor Zhao at any time.

"This ......" Emperor Zhao looked very embarrassed, and he regretted how impulsive he was to pick up the whip and plan to whip Concubine Rui.

But fortunately, I didn't have time to do it in the future.

"Concubine Rui is unwell, and before leaving, the slave heard Concubine Rui specially tell the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace to refuse to meet guests." Hai Gonggong is in a hurry.

"Oh, is it? Then I can't disturb her rest. ”

Grandpa Hai: "Yes, Princess Anping. ”

Emperor Zhao also echoed: "Yes, yes, Concubine Rui's temper has always been like this, she doesn't like to be disturbed for no reason." ”

Princess Anping nodded, "That's it, Jingnan, you accompany me to Concubine Xiao's place to have a look." I haven't seen her in the past few days. ”

Li Jingnan: "Yes, aunt. ”
