Chapter 170: Atonement
Ruan Yuyi stared at Cen Li, who was bent over and lowered her hands, pursed her lips, and the atmosphere froze for a while.
She said coldly, "I don't want you, you will go back where you are, and I will explain it to Your Majesty." β
Cen Li paused, and said secretly, the tone of this little lord's current voice was somewhat similar to His Majesty. He lowered his eyes and thought about it, "The little master said with a smile, whether it is you or the minion, you can't easily ask Your Majesty to take back your life." β
She suddenly felt a choke in her throat and threatened, "Are you going or not?" β
"The minions don't dare." Cen Li bowed down, folded his hands in front of him, and each etiquette was as standard as if it had been practiced hundreds of times, making it impossible to find fault.
He handed over a small white porcelain bottle, "This is the medicine brought by His Majesty's slave, please take a look at it." β
She hesitated for a moment, then took the vase and asked, "What is this for?" β
"Your Majesty said, it is to heal the wounds after healing." He spoke bluntly, and his voice was not wavering.
"I don't need it." The tips of her ears burned red, and the white porcelain vase was so hot that she wanted him to take it back. She just thought it was the new emperor who sent her to tease her.
Cen Li repeated the sentence, "This is Your Majesty's order. β
It's a good ear and eye. She choked and couldn't speak. I had to hide the things behind the ornaments on a few cases, and I couldn't see it.
At this time, Mu Xiang also happened to bring hot soup and a cup of rinse tea. Thinking that Miss was slow to use things, the water should be cold after drinking the soup, so Mu Xiang took the extremely hot one. When she ran out, the tea was just the right temperature.
Mu Xiang had never seen this new eunuch, and he didn't know the situation, so he stayed by the screen, "Little master, this-"
Ruan Yuyi's face was pale, and she motioned for Mu Xiang to come closer. She picked up the tea cup on the bearing plate through the handkerchief, tilted her hand slightly, and the water poured down and poured it on the back of Cen Li's hand.
As if he were unconscious, he did not hide or avoid, and even the posture of his hands did not change in the slightest. It was the water Fang had taken from the stove, and the back of his hand was quickly burning a terrifying red.
She really didn't expect him to hide, her eyes widened slightly, her hands trembled, and the white jade cup fell to the ground.
Cen Li made a move at this time, he accurately caught the cup and presented it to his hands, "The little master carefully don't hurt himself." His voice was calm, not sad or joyful.
She didn't answer, opened her mouth, and asked after a long time, "Why don't you hide?" "Won't he hurt?
Whether it is a noble person or a subordinate, it is a body made of flesh and blood, where is there a reason not to hurt, but it is just a little water, and he is even more powerful than this. "All follow the little lord to rejoice." He said.
She shook her head slightly, extremely uncomfortable with his meticulous deference. The person in front of him was very different from the wood spirit, and he didn't have the freshness and vitality of the wood spirit at all.
This is the person raised in the imperial city.
Her eyes trembled, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said weakly for a while, "You go down." β
After receiving the order, Cen Li retreated.
Chonghua Palace.
Concubine Shu took off the golden hairpin that Su Ri loved, and Yi Yi wore a plain skirt and sat crooked on the couch.
In fact, a few days ago, the matter of the Rong family has begun to appear. She sent several letters to Rong's house, but she couldn't respond, and then her heart suddenly jumped. Because the Rong family wanted to rely on her to obtain greater glory, they would never ignore her letters.
She vaguely felt that something was wrong. But she didn't want to think deeply, and suppressed the uneasiness.
Until yesterday, the new emperor and a group of guards pressed her back into the palace. She used the money and asked a little bit from everywhere, only to piece together the original story of the matter.
Eight hundred stones of pepper in private?
Concubine Shu sneered. The Rong family does have this ambition, but this is not on the surface, after all, the new emperor is also a figure worthy of fear.
She knew that this was just an excuse for the new emperor to bring down the Rong family.
Maybe from the time she was allowed to enter the palace and given her the position of concubine, it was all His Majesty's strategy. He wants to expose all the ambitions and infidelity of the Rong family, and then make the charges more and more true.
Poor Rong family thought they were benefiting, and fell into the illusion that His Majesty had created for them, and they did not notice it at all.
She covered her eyes, and her lips were hooked with red lipstick, but the curvature was cold. A chill of the bones grabbed her whole, causing her to fall into an ice cellar.
She was always just a pawn.
This is true for him and for the Rong family who gave birth to her.
"Niangniangβ" Her confidant palace maid called to her, her voice worried.
She took her hand and shook her head slightly, signaling that she was all rightβat least not what His Majesty would do to her.
Because she personally presented the medicine handed over to her by the Rong family to the new emperor, and explained everything that the Rong family had explained, in exchange for the life of herself and her sister in the family.
The grandmother from the Rong family's own family was killed with a cane in front of her eyes.
Later, the new emperor came with news that all the men of the Rong family had been beheaded for public display, and the women had been sent into slavery. This matter is important, and any emperor of the Li Dynasty will not let it go easily, it should have been connected to the nine clans, because Concubine Shu took the initiative to confess, and the guilt was reduced.
She knew that the Rong family deserved it. At this point, she had nothing to say.
She cried, she couldn't catch her breath and her liver and intestines were broken, which was the emotion of being the daughter of the Rong family. As soon as the Rong family is destroyed, only Concubine Rong is left.
She didn't see the commotion, and stayed in this gorgeous Chonghua Palace peacefully.
Whether it is obeying orders or atonement, she has never been sorry for the Rong family.
Concubine Shu rolled her sluggish eyes and said in a dumb voice, "Liuying, this palace is thirsty." β
Liuying hurriedly brought her tea, "Niangniang use it slowly." She took it and glanced at it, and there was a fine tea in it, which had never been taken away, but probably no new ones would come. I don't know when I'll finish drinking.
Everyone in the palace will laugh at her.
The carved Zhu door was pushed open, and it was the little palace maid who was left in the palace at that time by the concubine, and she bowed mournfully, "Slave maid, slave maid, please Niang Niang An." β
"Stupid," Concubine Shu glanced at her, "If you come in, you can't get out, you know?" β
Xiao Gongwen's tears flowed down at once, "The slave maid knows." The slave and maid are willing to accompany the mother, and they are willing to share this suffering. β
Concubine Shu was silent for a while, and then said, "Ruan Jieyu, have you seen it over there?" β
Xiao Gong nodded.
She let out a long sigh. shouldn't go, but it hurt that sister. At that time, she didn't know what was going on, and she always thought that there was a turning point, so she left behind.
I just hope that Sister Ruan will be as cold as others, and it will only be good if she has never befriended her. and lest he be angered by His Majesty and suffer from the fish in the pond.
She looked out the window. The light in the daytime is always brighter, casting a watery light and shadow under the window.
Liuying noticed her gaze and said softly, "Niangniang, it's snowing outside." It's huge, goose feathers. β
