Chapter 364 You really want to leave the palace, right?
Inside the cold palace, a group of concubines sat in the shade, staring at the entrance of the cold palace.
Alas, I wonder if Little Phoenix has told the new queen about their affairs?
I really want to leave the palace!
Bored of waiting, the concubines chatted about their plans after leaving the palace.
A younger concubine asked Concubine De, "Sister, after you leave the palace, are you going to the Prince of Qi's fiefdom?"
Concubine De stared blankly into the distance and sighed softly, "I still don't know if there will be a chance for me to leave the palace."
If the new emperor is afraid of his son who is far away in his fiefdom, his son's future life will be difficult.
In this case, I might as well spend the rest of my life in this cold palace.
The young concubine seemed to have thought of this as well.
She sighed slightly and said helplessly: "We sisters are all miserable people!"
The women in the harem all want to give birth to a son or daughter to rely on.
However, it is truly unfortunate to be born into this scheming royal family...
Prince Jing's mother, Concubine Shu, sat quietly by the side without saying a word.
She shared the same idea as Concubine De, and would rather spend the rest of her life in the cold palace than implicate her son who was far away in his fiefdom.
The other concubines were also discussing in low voices.
"If the new emperor agrees to let us leave the palace, I will find a beautiful place with mountains and rivers, hide my identity and live out the rest of my life."
"Yes, I think so too. Leaving this palace full of intrigues and intrigues and living a simple life..."
"I was forced into the palace to be a concubine..."
"Alas, that childhood sweetheart must have several children now!"
.......
As the concubines chatted, they went from being full of longing to falling into silence.
Their imaginations were too beautiful. If they could not leave the palace as they wished, they would live a miserable life for the rest of their lives.
Just when all the concubines felt hopeless, the door to the cold palace suddenly opened.
Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin entered the cold palace and saw pairs of expectant eyes...
"Xiao Chengjin, will there be hidden dangers if we let them out?"
Xiao Chengjin glanced at the concubines and replied in a low voice: "The sons of Concubine De and Concubine Shu are both in their fiefdoms, so they are doing their duty."
"Other concubines have no children..." Even if they did, they were either stillborn or died unexpectedly.
After hearing this, Jiang Ruo understood what he meant.
"Then let them leave the palace and seek freedom!"
"Ruoruo has the final say." Xiao Chengjin raised the corners of his lips slightly.
The concubines looked at the two people who suddenly came in and were unable to react for a while.
After the palace maids reacted, they looked at each other.
If we behave well, we will have the opportunity to leave the palace with our master.
Then, all the palace maids knelt and kowtowed, saying, "Your servants pay their respects to the Emperor and the Empress. Long live the Emperor, long live the Empress, and may you be blessed with good health."
Xiao Chengjin walked forward holding Jiang Ruo's hand and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the palace maids stood up, they all winked at their masters.
The concubines stood up, somewhat at a loss.
Xiao Chengjin turned his head and cast a look at Jiang Ruo for help...
Ruoruo, I leave these women to you.
Jiang Ruo nodded.
She let go of Xiao Chengjin's hand, glanced around at them, and estimated the number of people.
Although not as exaggerated as the number of 3,000 beauties, a rough count would still show more than 30 concubines...
Jiang Ruo cleared her throat and asked calmly, "You really want to leave the palace, right?"
"Yes, yes!" The concubines nodded quickly.
Jiang Ruo looked at the concubines who responded without thinking, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Then do you know what you will face after leaving the palace?"
The concubines looked at each other, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.
The young concubine twisted her handkerchief and mustered up her courage to say, "We will hide our identities and live the lives of ordinary people."
"Please grant permission, Her Majesty the Queen!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruo cast an admiring look at the concubine and said, "You are very brave."
After the young concubine understood the meaning of Jiang Ruo's words, she lowered her head slightly shyly.
For your own future, why not be brave?
Seeing this, the other concubines also spoke up.
"Empress, once I step out of the palace, I will have nothing to do with this palace."
"I will be careful with my words and actions and promise not to say anything about the palace."
.......
Jiang Ruo looked at the concubines who had become more active and said with a smile: "Your leaving the palace... is approved."
Upon hearing this, the concubines said with joy, "Thank you, Queen, for your permission."
Defei and Shufei were happy for these sisters from the bottom of their hearts, but when they thought about their own situation, they couldn't help feeling lost.
Jiang Ruo had been observing the expressions of Concubine Shu and Concubine De, as if she understood what they were thinking.
She slowly came up to the two of them and asked pointedly, "De Fei, Shu Fei, what are your plans?"
Concubine Shu and Concubine De exchanged a glance and replied indifferently, "Your Majesty, our situation is special, so we will stay in the cold palace!"
They dreamed of going to their fiefdom to reunite with their sons, but doing so would arouse suspicion.
Especially Concubine De, in order to go to her fiefdom and reunite with her son, she has been vying for favor in recent years.
What made her feel most helpless was that every time Xiao Junze heard this topic, he would cleverly avoid it.
Yes, even my own father would be on guard, let alone my uncle who I rarely interact with...
Xiao Chengjin came to Jiang Ruo's side and said coldly, "Don't you want to go to the fiefdom and reunite with your son?"
Defei and Shufei clenched the handkerchiefs in their hands and stammered, "I, we..." They dream about it.
Jiang Ruo stretched out her finger and said, "You only have one chance, so make sure you seize it."
De Fei thought of her son whom she had not seen for several years. She gritted her teeth and spoke first, "I want to go to the fiefdom to reunite with my son."
Then, she raised her finger to the sky and swore, "I swear to heaven that I will never let my son have even the slightest thought of the throne."
"If you are worried, you can send someone to monitor it day and night."
Seeing this, Concubine Shu quickly expressed her loyalty: "Don't worry, I will definitely supervise my son when I go to the fiefdom."
"If he dares to have even the slightest thought about the throne, I will personally...break his legs."
Prince Jing, who was far away in his fiefdom, stumbled and almost fell.
He stood firm, looked at his legs, then looked towards the capital and muttered, "Alas, I am so dedicated to my duties, yet you still want to break my legs..."
Shufei's words successfully made Jiang Ruo laugh.
She covered her lips and chuckled a few times before saying, "Okay, you must remember what I said today."
"After you go to your fiefdom, live a good life."
"Of course, with our strength, we are not afraid of what your son might do."
Concubine Shu and Concubine De knew that what Jiang Ruo said was true and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Xiao Chengjin said to Chief Steward Lin, "Chief Steward Lin, you are fully responsible for their leaving the palace."
Chief Steward Lin bowed and said, "I obey your command!"
When the concubines heard Xiao Chengjin's words, they all smiled happily.
They all looked at Jiang Ruo with gratitude.
Xiao Chengjin held Jiang Ruo's hand and whispered, "Ruoruo, let's go!"
"good!"
Jiang Ruo looked around at the concubines and turned away happily.
"Your servants respectfully bid farewell to the Emperor and the Empress." The palace maids knelt down and saluted.
One of the concubines looked at Jiang Ruo who had taken a few steps forward and whispered, "Empress, can I go and say goodbye to the deposed queen?"
The death of her daughter was caused by someone ordered by the Queen.
Now that I'm leaving the palace soon, I can't just let it go like this...
Jiang Ruo said without turning around, "I agree."
The concubines looked at each other, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
I will leave the palace soon, to seek revenge and vengeance...
