Chapter 547 Liang Cairen
When Defei heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, thinking that things were going to be done, but then she smiled gently.
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. Ruxia is a good woman, but she is not a member of my palace. If she stays here for a long time, it will probably cause criticism and will be detrimental to her reputation. After all, a girl has to get married."
Emperor Tianyuan nodded slightly, seeming to be quite satisfied with Concubine De's consideration. After pondering for a moment, he looked at Ruxia.
"Ruxia, are you willing to stay in the palace?"
Liang Ruxia spoke cautiously after hearing this.
"Ruxia obeys the emperor and aunt in everything."
Seeing that she was so well-behaved and sensible, Emperor Tianyuan nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to Concubine De.
"I have an idea. Why not make Ruxia a talented person? This way, she can accompany you in the palace and it will be more legitimate. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, a complex light flashed in Concubine De's eyes, reflecting both Liang Ruxia's future and the delicate balance of her own position in the palace. She gently raised her hand, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and smiled gently.
"Your Majesty's proposal is excellent. It can relieve my boredom and provide Ruxia with a good home. However, the palace has many rules and regulations, and I am worried that Ruxia, having just arrived, may not be able to adapt."
Emperor Tianyuan's tone was filled with unquestionable majesty, yet also with trust and reliance on Concubine De. He gently patted the back of Concubine De's hand as a gesture of comfort and affirmation.
"It's okay. With your guidance, I believe Ruxia will be able to adapt quickly."
Empress Defei looked up and met Emperor Shangtianyuan's eyes.
"Since the emperor still trusts me so much, Ruxia will continue to live in my palace."
Then he spoke to Liang Ruxia and reminded her.
"Are you so surprised that you're stupid? Why don't you thank the emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Ruxia knelt down again, her voice trembling a little, as if she was dazed by this huge surprise.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Ruxia will be careful with her words and actions and live up to the high expectations of the Emperor and my aunt."
Emperor Tianyuan spoke.
"Get up."
When Concubine De saw this, a hint of relief flashed in her eyes. She personally stepped forward to help Liang Ruxia up and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Ruxia, you will be the emperor's concubine from now on. You need to be more cautious in your actions, but don't be too restrained. With your aunt here, she will definitely not let you suffer any injustice."
Emperor Tianyuan was quite satisfied watching this scene. He knew that Concubine De would take good care of the newlyweds with her gentleness and wisdom.
Liang Ruxia expressed her gratitude to Concubine De.
"Yes, Ruxia will listen to her aunt."
Concubine De nodded, then turned around and bowed to the emperor.
"Then I, your concubine, congratulate the Emperor on the birth of his beautiful wife. It is too late today. Your Majesty should stay in Gyeongbokgung Palace and let Ruxia wait on you until you have rest."
Emperor Tianyuan smiled slightly, his eyes moving between Concubine De and Liang Ruxia, and an inexplicable warmth and anticipation surged in his heart.
"Alright, I'll do as you say today and stay in Gyeongbokgung Palace."
Even the last breath that landed on Liang Ruxia's face felt a bit hot.
After a night, Emperor Tianyuan got up early in the morning to attend court with Ruxia's service.
Perhaps because she has grown from a girl into a woman, the immaturity in Liang Ruxia's eyes has faded, replaced by a touch of charm.
Emperor Tianyuan reached out and pinched her face before leaving.
"Well, you were tired last night, so you can sleep a little longer. Your aunt is always considerate and won't ask you to pay your respects so early. Wait until the imperial edict to appoint you as a talented person comes down, and then let your aunt lead you to pay your respects to the queen."
Liang Ruxia bowed obediently upon hearing this.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Tianyuan nodded and walked out.
Seeing this, Liang Ruxia bowed politely.
"Your Highness is here to see you off!"
As soon as the emperor leaves.
Liang Ruxia hurried to the main hall.
At this time, Concubine De was having a palace maid comb her hair.
Liang Ruxia stepped forward and saluted.
"Ruxia pays her respects to her aunt."
Defei looked back at her and saw a red mark on her neck. As someone who came to serve the emperor, she knew what it was.
"Well, it seems you were very good at serving the Emperor last night."
Liang Ruxia spoke hurriedly.
"This is all thanks to my aunt's good teaching."
Defei looked at her and finally spoke.
"Well, since you are already a talented person, I will give you my maid Fuling to take care of your daily life."
Liang Ruxia spoke obediently after hearing this.
"Yes, Ruxia thanks you very much, aunt."
Seeing her well-behaved appearance, Concubine De reached out to her.
"Come, come here."
Liang Ruxia took two steps forward and walked to the side of Concubine De.
Defei reached out and held her hand.
"Ruxia, we are a family. I allow you to compete for my favor, but you must always remember your last name is Liang."
When Liang Ruxia heard this, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She nodded slightly, with a barely perceptible resoluteness in her voice.
"Don't worry, aunt. Ruxia understands. No matter where she is, her heart is always with the Liang family."
Concubine De nodded with satisfaction, a flicker of relief in her eyes. She was well aware of the dangers and complexities of the palace. Although Liang Ruxia looked fragile, she possessed a tenacity deep within, something she valued. She gently patted the back of Liang Ruxia's hand and spoke earnestly.
"Remember, every step in this palace is a dangerous one, so you must take every step carefully. From now on, I will help you gain more favor from the Emperor, but you must not become arrogant or trust others easily. I will do my best to protect you, but you must also learn to protect yourself."
When Liang Ruxia heard this, her eyes turned red and her gratitude was beyond words.
"Aunt, Ruxia will definitely remember this and live up to your high expectations." Concubine De smiled slightly and signaled the palace maid to continue dressing her and said to Liang Ruxia.
"Rest well today. On the day of the enthronement, I will personally take care of everything for you. As for the palace rules and etiquette, Fuling will teach you one by one. You must familiarize yourself with them as soon as possible."
Liang Ruxia bowed again and answered respectfully.
"Yes, aunt."
White House.
Jun Moye held Su Hanchu's hand tightly, his eyes full of worry.
"Chu Chu, the palace is a dangerous place, why don't I go with you."
Su Hanchu responded with a gentle smile and said firmly.
"Oh, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Besides, you were frightened yesterday, so you should just lie down in bed and rest."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moye had no choice but to nod and looked at Su Hanchu and gave him instructions.
"Then be careful in everything you do. Your safety is paramount. I will wait for you at home. If you don't leave the palace before the gates are locked, I will enter."
Su Hanchu naturally understood his concern for her and gave him a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry, wait for me at home. I promise to be home before the palace gates are locked. I'm just going there to argue with them. Can they still detain me in the palace?"
Accompanied by Cai Xing and others, Su Hanchu embarked on the journey to the palace.
She had already made up her mind. She went to the palace today to sue the prince and seek justice for herself and Jun Moye.
At this time, a storm was quietly brewing in the palace.
The news that the prince was suspected of assassinating Su Hanchu and Jun Moye naturally could not be made public.
Lord Zhou waited until the morning court session was over before he hurriedly met with Emperor Tianyuan alone.
Emperor Tianyuan looked puzzled. Could it be that the Dali Temple had found out about the prince so quickly?
"Lord Zhou, I want to see you alone. What's the important matter?"
Lord Zhou bowed.
"Your Majesty, I have been concentrating on investigating the Crown Prince's Mansion case with His Royal Highness the Second Prince these days, and have handed off all other cases to subordinates or staff. However, yesterday, Madam Li came to report a case in a panic, her hair disheveled. She said that she and Lord Su of Baise City were assassinated in the peach orchard outside the city. Because this matter concerns Baise City, and Madam Li is guarding General Li's family in the northwest, I immediately went to investigate. The peach orchard outside the city is already a bloody mess, with countless assassins lying in the orchard."
Emperor Tianyuan didn't expect that such a big thing happened yesterday. You know, both Su Hanchu and Lin Hanzhi have extraordinary identities. There was a hint of anger on his face.
"How dare you! Who is so bold as to assassinate the emperor?"
Lord Zhou bowed.
"Because we couldn't find any clues on Deadpool, it shows the caution of the person behind this. I went to the Bai residence overnight. Young Master Jun was bedridden due to shock. When I went to visit him, City Lord Su's men returned and said that they had tracked down the assassin to the Prince's residence, but the assassin had disappeared."
