Chapter 196 Jianqiu secretly went to Chuxiu Palace
Late at night, a figure quietly came out of Jingren Palace. After checking that there was no one else around, he quickly walked towards Chuxiu Palace.
"My lady, Aunt Jianqiu is here."
Rou agreed to let Ling'er, the only remaining maid beside her, walk into the room and whisper to her as she sat in front of the dressing mirror.
In fact, she didn't want to stay. Since Rou Da Ying was trapped in the Chuxiu Palace by the emperor, many people around her left, and Rou Da Ying's temperament became more and more weird. From time to time, she would sit there alone and talk non-stop.
If the Queen Mother had not secretly given her an order to stay with Rou Daqin, she would have found an opportunity to leave long ago.
"Aunt Jianqiu is here? Really? Did the Emperor finally remember me again? Did he let me out?"
The palace has always been a place where the powerful are trampled upon and the weak are praised. When Rou was still a concubine or a concubine, she was very favored by the emperor, and all the good things were given to her Chuxiu Palace first. Now she has been neglected. Not to mention those precious items, even her daily food and clothing will be withheld.
She had already been filled with hatred in her heart, thinking that once she regained her favor, she would make these people pay with their lives in apology.
"I don't know. Aunt Jianqiu just asked me to come and pass on a message to the young lady."
Ling'er lowered her head and answered respectfully, but she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She knew very well what Rou Da Ying was thinking, but after being in the palace for so long, she saw many things more clearly than Rou Da Ying.
The emperor had long since disliked her, and Concubine Hua, Concubine Xi and others would not allow her to leave.
"What are you still standing there for? Go and invite her in."
"Yes, my lord."
While waiting, Rouda carefully tidied up her appearance. Although she had been arranged to live in a side hall of Chuxiu Palace, she still hoped to maintain some of her demeanor in front of Jianqiu. Who knew that she might say a few good words for herself in front of the Queen. Then she would not be afraid of not being able to restore her former glory.
"This servant pays respects to Miss Rou."
"Why is Aunt Jianqiu here at this hour? Does the Empress have anything to say? Can I leave now?"
Although Rou Da Ying tried very hard to control her excitement, her tone still revealed her emotions.
"My lady, please be patient. The Empress knows that you have been wronged in the palace these days, so she specially sent this servant to see if you need anything."
Jianqiu looked at Rou with concern and agreed, his eyes full of heartache for her.
"Originally, the Empress had already made plans to use this opportunity to find a reason to plead with the Emperor to release you, but..."
Having said that, Jianqiu paused for a moment as if she had something to hide, and continued speaking after she was satisfied to see that Rouda had an anxious look on her face.
"Just when the Empress was about to make a move, she was unexpectedly beaten to the punch by Concubine Hua. I don't know what she said to the Emperor, but the Emperor, in a rage, issued an edict that from now on, no one can plead for you."
Jianqiu seemed to feel her words weren't strong enough, so she continued to add fuel to the fire: "I heard that Concubine Xi was also present at the time. I wonder if she's still holding a grudge against her for the miscarriage."
"Noble Concubine Hua? Concubine Xi?"
Rouda's joy suddenly disappeared, and was followed by complete hatred towards them.
"My lady, you don't have to be too sad. The Queen asked me to tell you that if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, she will definitely find a way to help you. But for now, please be patient for a while."
"Okay, please ask Aunt Jianqiu to thank the Queen for her kindness on my behalf. I will definitely not let her down."
"Yes, I will definitely convey your message to you, young lady. But please forgive me for saying a few more words. Young lady, you should avoid Concubine Hua and Concubine Xi from now on. After all, they are already favored by the emperor and have children. Young lady, you must not provoke them lightly. I believe that you can be patient and will be able to regain the honor and favor you received yesterday in the future."
Looking at Rouda's unpredictable expression, Jianqiu knew that the purpose of her trip had been achieved, and after she finished speaking, she suggested leaving.
"Ling'er, please escort my aunt away for me."
"Yes, my lord."
After Jianqiu and Ling'er left, she was left alone in the room again.
Thinking of what Jianqiu had just said, she felt like the anger in her heart was about to burst out uncontrollably.
Zhen Huan, Nian Shilan, I have been persecuted by you to this extent, why are you still unwilling to let me go? Do you really want me to pay with my life?
Ever since she entered the palace, she knew that if she could not fight for a place for herself in this palace, she would become a pawn of others, so she tried her best to get the emperor's special treatment.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, everything was ruined by Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan.
She knew what Jianqiu meant by what she had just said to her. She simply wanted her to be a chess piece once again. But it didn't matter to her now. Since they had given up her last hope, she didn't mind becoming someone's chess piece.
Thinking of this, Rou agreed and stood up and walked to a corner of the room. She took out a small box from the top cabinet, and after gently opening the secret button, she found a paper bag wrapped in powder inside.
She looked at it silently for a long time, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Ever since she entered the palace, she had not been able to decide many things on her own. Now, she wants to be the master of her own destiny.
Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan, how could they still live so happily after hurting themselves so much? Since God is unfair, she will do justice for him.
At this moment, Rou Ying seemed a little crazy. She looked at the things in front of her and smiled softly, which seemed even more weird in this quiet night.
She was so caught up in her own emotions that all her attention was focused on what she was thinking. She didn't notice at all that Ling'er, who had returned to the house after sending Jianqiu off, was secretly standing at the door, carefully watching her every move through the gap.
And here in Jingren Palace.
After Jianqiu returned to the palace, she happened to meet Jiang Fuhai who came out from the corner.
"What were you doing just now? Did you go to find Rou Yingda?"
Jiang Fuhai discovered Jianqiu when she went out before. However, because her whereabouts were so strange, Jiang Fuhai secretly followed her without disturbing her, so he knew where she was going very well.
"How do you know? You were following me?"
When Jianqiu heard what Jiang Fuhai said, her eyes were filled with surprise, and then her heart was filled with anger.
"So what?"
"Jianqiu, wasn't it the Empress' order for you to go to Rou Yingying? Rou Yingying is completely useless now, so why are you still going to her?"
After the emperor issued the decree, everyone in the palace knew that he was completely disgusted with Rou Da Ying. What's more, it was the emperor himself who confined Rou Da Ying in Chuxiu Palace. How could the empress possibly displease the emperor at this time?
"The dignified queen has been bullied by the concubines like this. Now the harem is missing the surname Nian. How can this be allowed in the world?"
Jianqiu felt sorry for the queen every day when she looked at her. She had been with the queen for so many years and had never seen her being bullied like this.
"If the master is bullied, the servant is useless. What I am doing now is just to seek justice for the queen."
Jianqiu looked at Jiang Fuhai angrily, as if he would be punished by the Empress at the worst possible moment.
"Well, you have to be careful. You must not let others notice anything wrong, and you must not let it get involved with our Jingren Palace."
"Don't worry, I won't do that."
