Chapter 82 Meeting
In the early morning, Wang Ruomu sat by the window holding Buddhist beads in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the plum tree in the yard.
It didn't move, as if it was petrified.
Creak! The door was pushed open.
Pei Er walked in and saw the empress sitting there. She asked distressedly, "My empress, have you not slept all night again?"
Wang Ruomu came back to his senses and withdrew his gaze, saying calmly, "I can't sleep."
The Queen came to her last night and told her that the Emperor wanted to kill Prince Jing.
She admitted that she didn't love King Jing that much, but he was her child after all, and she couldn't just ignore him.
She went to see the emperor, but his answer surprised her.
She became estranged from King Jing because the child was his, the child of her enemy.
The emperor doesn't like him and even suspects that he is not his own flesh and blood?
So we want to kill him.
"Mei An and I are driven by affection and bound by propriety. We have never overstepped the bounds. If King Jing is truly his and my child, I will do my utmost to protect and cherish him, and will never allow him to be harmed in the slightest. I don't love him because he is your child. I feel sick just by looking at you, and I dislike him too. My indifference towards him isn't because he's a bad person, but because of you."
Every word Wang Ruomu said was like an icy arrow piercing Emperor Gan's heart. He looked at Wang Ruomu in disbelief.
He doesn't believe it!
She had clearly eloped with Song Mei'an for one night before entering the palace, so it was impossible that nothing had happened.
He is a man, he understands men best, and it is impossible for him to control himself in front of his beloved.
"If you are innocent, why didn't you bleed the first time you slept with me?"
Women usually have a bleeding episode on their first night, but he remembered that he didn't have any bleeding that night.
Wang Ruomu's face was ashen, as if she had thought of something that made her sick.
She closed her eyes and moved her lips slightly: "Afterwards, you go to sleep. I will go take a bath and give the handkerchief to the night watchman."
She remembered that she had soaked in the bathtub all night, rubbing every inch of her skin vigorously until her whole body turned red. She just felt dirty, disgusted, and sorry for Mei An.
She didn't come out until her whole body was red and swollen and the water was ice cold.
I fell ill again the next day.
"Didn't you go to the Jingshifang to check the files?"
Even if he himself didn't remember it, the people in the Jingshifang would definitely not be wrong. If the child was Mei An's, how could he be born half a month late?
"Is it too late to send someone to intercept them now?" Wang Ruomu asked.
Emperor Gan was still skeptical: "I'm afraid it's too late. I have sent my personal shadow guards. It's impossible for him to escape under their hands."
Wang Ruomu stared straight at Emperor Gan, his face expressionless: "You killed my entire family, so I killed your son. Does that count as revenge?"
Boom!!!
Emperor Gan suddenly exploded as if struck by lightning.
Her hatred had penetrated deep into her bones. Even though it was her son who died, she could still say this so calmly.
For so many years, he had put a lot of thought into preventing Song Mei'an's children from taking the throne. But now he was told that the child he was trying to kill was his own.
What a joke.
Wang Ruomu has been sitting here since she came back. Years of worshipping Buddha have made her extremely calm. Even when she knew that Ye Chenyin had encountered an accident, she remained indifferent.
"Pei'er, help me prepare paper and ink."
Pei'er prepared paper and ink, and Wang Ruomu stood up and began to dip the ink and write.
Rongyu woke up early and waited for someone from the palace to call him in.
I waited and waited but nothing came of it.
Rong Yu was depressed. What was going on? Was it because his note wasn't attractive enough? Or was it because the food he cooked wasn't tasty?
Why hasn't anyone come yet? Even if Concubine Xian doesn't want to see him, the Queen should have summoned him.
It's almost noon.
"Could it be that the topics I write about don't interest them?"
He wrote about how he knew how to kill that person.
That person is Emperor Gan, they definitely don’t know about it. It’s because they don’t know that they are curious. Don’t they have any curiosity?
"Host, you should write about how to kill Gan Di. They will definitely be interested."
"It should be written like this, but if I intercept the entire Jingwang Mansion and Yanwang Mansion, the Queen and the Concubines will be implicated by me, and I can't bear this responsibility."
Rongyu waited from early morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon. The sun had already set halfway in the west, but no one from the palace came.
Before, she was full of confidence that he would be called into the palace, but now she is so embarrassed.
Yongyu is really depressed, why can't it be done? He wrote it very straightforwardly.
"Host, would you like to bring Ye Chenyuan and Shen Qinghe together? They are making too slow progress."
"The original novel doesn't have the hero and heroine together, why doesn't your system follow the original novel?"
"I'm a fujoshi. Their interactions are sweeter than yours."
'Um? '
"Maybe you're already an old married couple and there's no more novelty. You're tired of it."
???
Outrageous.
They are divorced on a large scale. They are still newly married, so how can they be called an old married couple?
And they are sweet, the pink bubble kind of sweet.
Rong Yu was not convinced: "You are a single dog, what do you know."
I don't understand, but I know Ye Chenyin went to see Song Mei'an, and today Song Mei'an will tell him the whole story.'
'Why don't you take me with you on this wonderful occasion?'
Rongyu was very upset that he had missed out on first-hand public opinion information.
It was getting dark, and Ye Chenyin and Siyu had not returned yet. Butler Cai said that someone had asked them to go out, but he had no idea what it was for.
It was not something a servant like him could find out about his master's whereabouts.
It was almost midnight, and Ye Chenyin had not returned yet, but the people from the palace finally arrived.
But he was not here to find him, but to find Ye Chenyin.
"His Highness has gone out and hasn't come back yet. I can tell you what you want from him," Rong Yu said.
The young eunuch looked a little flustered, as if he was not going to speak until he saw King Jing.
But then he thought that the person in front of him was the princess of His Royal Highness Prince Jing, and they were husband and wife, so there was nothing that he couldn't know.
Then he explained the whole matter in detail.
Emperor Gan was reviewing the memorials and was worried about Concubine Xian, so he went to Chaoyun Palace to visit her.
The palace maids said that the queen had not recovered and had already retired.
Emperor Gan turned around and was about to leave, but for some reason, he came back.
Ignoring the palace servants' advice, he entered the house and found it empty.
Emperor Gan sent people to look for her, searching everywhere inside and outside the palace, and finally found her on the Qixi Bridge outside the palace.
It is said that Lord Song Mei'an is also here.
Rong Yu was struck by lightning when he heard this, and his head was buzzing.
Aren’t Concubine Xian and Song Mei’an meeting tomorrow night?
Could it be that he remembered it wrongly?
Not only was he speechless with shock, the system was equally shocked.
The original timeline is that Ye Chenyin went to see Song Mei'an, learned about their regrets, felt sorry for Concubine Xian, and both Concubine Xian and Song Mei'an committed suicide. Ye Chenyin hated Emperor Gan and turned completely evil.
It should be tomorrow night, why is it early?
"That's not right. Ye Chenyin went to see Song Mei'an, and Song Mei'an went to see Concubine Xian. Where is Ye Chenyin?"
It’s impossible for Ye Chenyin to accompany Song Meian, right?
A leaker?
The young eunuch conveyed the message and went back without daring to stay any longer.
"Where is Ye Chenyin now?" Rong Yu asked.
Logically speaking, Ye Chenyin should have returned long ago, and Song Meian should have been notified to meet at Qixi Bridge long ago.
Calling Ye Chenyin in advance is just to make arrangements for the funeral arrangements.
Song Mei'an cannot die, and Concubine Xian cannot die even more.
As soon as Rongyu finished speaking, Ye Chenyin and Siyu walked in from outside.
Rong Yu hurried forward: "Where have you been? Something happened to Concubine Xian!"
"I know." Ye Chenyin looked calm and not anxious at all.
Rongyu was very surprised. She should have been the first to worry when she heard that something had happened to Concubine Xian.
"I know you haven't entered the palace yet, so I'm not afraid that the Queen will be in danger."
Concubine Xian is really in danger, please come to the palace and take a look.
"Host, Ye Chenyin's darkening value has decreased instead of increased. It may be because of what Song Mei'an said to him, which made him feel that Xianpin was also tortured in the palace. He may also want to free Xianpin."
Song Mei'an remained unmarried for the sake of Concubine Xian, a testament to her sincerity. Concubine Xian treated her own children harshly for him. The two of them had already made the utmost effort for each other.
Ye Chenyin, as the most innocent person, cares about everyone.
"Your Highness..." Rong Yu called him softly, with the heartache that could not be hidden in his eyes.
Ye Chenyin raised her eyes to look at him and said calmly: "This is her choice, I respect her."
She chose Song Mei'an and completely abandoned him.
He doesn't hate her.
Song Mei'an told him a lot, about how they got along when they were young, the relationship between the two families, and her father's interference.
Although he had investigated all of this, he still felt happy and angry for them when he heard Song Mei'an's description.
He knew that his mother stayed in the palace to protect the Song family, but he didn't know that his parents knew that Emperor Gan was the murderer of the Wang family.
How could she be happy facing the murderer and the son of her enemy all day long?
It's a kind of mental torture.
She spent a full twenty-five years there.
When I was little, I didn’t understand why she was always indifferent, never fighting or competing, and even too lazy to talk to those people.
Later I found out that her heart had long lost its light. If it weren't for Song Mei'an and the Song family, she would have escaped the fate of being at the mercy of others long ago.
Ye Chenyin slowly took Rongyu into his arms, resting his chin on his shoulder: "It's okay, it will all pass."
Rong Yu hugged his waist: "Yes, it will all pass."
In Chaoyun Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs were each beaten with fifty sticks.
The personal maid Pei'er was beaten with a hundred sticks, but was stopped by Wang Ruomu.
Emperor Gan glared at her angrily, as if he wanted to eat her alive?
If he hadn't come to see her today, if he hadn't gone into the house to take a look, he wouldn't have discovered that she was having a secret meeting with someone.
Was this the first time or had it happened many times before? He just didn't know.
Song Mei'an didn't kill him because of her, but she actually dared to provoke his subordinates and secretly deal with others.
If he had discovered it later, who knows what unspeakable things would have happened.
Wang Ruomu showed no sign of weakness and glared back fiercely.
But Gan Di was furious at being betrayed, while she was the one who wanted to kill him.
If sharp swords could shoot out from his eyes, Emperor Gan would definitely be stabbed like a hedgehog.
Emperor Gan had no choice but to dismiss everyone and leave only the two of them.
"My tolerance for you is limited to your indifference, not your going out to see him."
Every time he saw Song Mei'an over the years, he would think of the innocence of Concubine Xian before she entered the palace.
But not towards him, who can understand that kind of anger that has nowhere to vent?
He was so tolerant of her that he himself couldn't believe it, but she dared not take it to heart at all and even had a secret meeting with him.
Did she really think he didn't dare to kill her? Did she not dare to kill Song Mei'an?
"Your Majesty, do you still care about this? Don't you know who I have been thinking about all these years?" Wang Ruomu chuckled.
