Concubine Ru could never have imagined that General Zhou actually had a backup plan.
And he was so decisive that he sent out three secret letters at once!
These secret letters were sent out one by one over three days, but the information they contained was exactly the same.
At noon the next day, when the emperor was having lunch with Concubine Ru as usual, a eunuch with a panicked look suddenly rushed into the palace.
The eunuch was seen holding a black envelope tightly in his hand, as if it was carrying a heavy burden.
Concubine Ru and Wang De were both shocked when they saw this.
But at this moment, the secret letter had already been delivered to the emperor, and they had no way to stop it.
Wang De had no choice but to step forward, slowly take the secret letter from the eunuch, and carefully hand it to the emperor.
At this moment, Concubine Ru's eyes were full of fear, but she still forced a smile and tried to persuade.
"Your Majesty, you should pay full attention when you dine with me. Can you wait a moment before reading this letter?"
Concubine Ru was still thinking about delaying time as much as possible to see if there was any other way to prevent the emperor from seeing the contents of the letter.
The emperor frowned and responded in a serious tone.
"My beloved, this is a secret letter that concerns the safety of the country. How can you treat it as a joke?"
It was almost a warning.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Ru had no choice but to shut up, knowing in her heart that she was powerless to stop this from happening and everything would be ruined.
As expected, after the emperor received the secret letter, he quickly opened it. After just a glance, he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
"this?"
"Is it true?"
"Duke Hua? He's not dead?"
"Rue'er, she's not dead?"
He wished he could make a hole in the thin piece of letter paper.
The last content in the letter changed the emperor's expression.
"marriage?"
Concubine Ru looked over quietly and saw the emperor's shaking hands and stiff mouth.
The emperor stood up suddenly, "Someone, come quickly!"
Wang De was startled, "Your Majesty?"
The emperor's face was as dark as ink.
"Now, give me an order to deliver the message immediately."
"Appoint Hua Wanru, the daughter of Duke Hua, as the queen!"
“Quick, quick!”
"Hurry up and pass the decree to Beiping Prefecture!"
"It must be delivered before the fifth of June!"
"If it can't be transmitted!" The emperor became cold and gloomy.
"You all will die for me."
Wang De was so frightened that he trembled all over and rushed out. He secretly hated Concubine Ru.
If it wasn't for Concubine Ru, the Emperor would have known the news yesterday.
He was not stupid and already knew why Concubine Ru had snatched the letter yesterday.
Wang De hated her to death.
If the message had been sent to Beiping Prefecture one day earlier, it would have arrived earlier.
It wouldn't be as life-and-death race as it is now.
After all, it is the northernmost part of the Great Holy Dynasty, and it would take two months to get there by horseback.
Now he was asked to pass the message within six days. Wouldn't that cost him his life? What if he couldn't pass the message?
If you can't pass it, you will die...
Concubine Ru must also die...
Concubine Ru was also shaking all over at this time. She was not as arrogant as before and dared not breathe.
She was now most afraid that the emperor would suddenly think of her. Not only about the letter, but also the fact that she looked like Miss Hua was enough to make her suffer.
But the emperor happened to be in Concubine Ru's palace, so how could he not think of her?
The emperor turned around and saw Concubine Ru and Hua Wanru's faces that looked 70% alike, and suddenly felt something was not right.
It feels like the 70% to 80% is about 20% less.
Hua Wanru never acts like a spoiled concubine like Concubine Ru. Hua Wanru is usually smart and generous.
Hua Wanru does not have the charming temperament that Concubine Ru has.
Hua Wanru is a wife who makes people feel comfortable. She can cook meals for him every day for his health.
Somehow, the emperor suddenly thought of the many differences between Concubine Ru and Hua Wanru.
I also gradually discovered that Concubine Ru was less and less like Hua Wanru.
Suddenly, he felt like he was in a dream. He didn't know what was wrong with him, why he valued and doted on Concubine Ru so much.
But now, no matter how I look at it, I feel it is not pleasing to the eye!
The emperor looked at Concubine Ru with complicated eyes, and suddenly his gaze shifted to her belly.
If Ru'er knew that he had found a fake girl here and made her pregnant.
Will Ruer be angry?
Concubine Ru was keenly aware that the emperor was staring at her abdomen. She was startled and quickly covered her stomach with her hands.
She knew very well that at that moment, the emperor had the thought of killing the fetus in her womb.
Fear made her take a step back involuntarily, and her voice trembled slightly.
“Your Majesty!”
The emperor seemed to be awakened by her cry, and after a slight pause he came to his senses.
He turned his gaze to Concubine Ru again, but quickly looked away and spoke lightly.
"Empress Ru, you need to rest well and take care of your pregnancy. You don't need to go out in the near future."
When Concubine Ru heard this, she was stunned.
It's clear that the emperor wants to put her under house arrest!
She stared at the emperor with wide eyes, trying to find a hint of explanation or sympathy in his expression, but she only saw indifference and determination.
All of a sudden, all kinds of emotions surged into her heart: grievance, anger, despair and hatred, intertwined together, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
However, facing the supreme imperial power, Concubine Ru knew that she was powerless to resist.
She bit her lip, trying hard not to let the tears fall, lowered her head and responded softly.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will obey your orders."
After she finished speaking, she slowly turned around and stopped looking at the emperor. Her back looked extremely lonely and desolate.
When the emperor saw her like this, his heart was moved. But in the end, he said nothing and walked out.
When Ping'er saw that the emperor had left, she hurried over with a worried look on her face and supported the staggering Concubine Ru.
At this moment, she didn't know what to say.
After all, even a little maid like her knew that the emperor had always had someone in his heart, and that person was the eldest daughter of the Huaguo Mansion, Hua Wanru.
The reason why Concubine Ru was favored was because she looked alike with Hua Wanru.
Now the real culprit has been found and was directly named queen by the emperor.
How embarrassed would their imperial concubine be!
She looked at Concubine Ru, and tears kept flowing like beads from a broken string.
Still couldn't help but persuade.
"My Lady, please stop crying. It's not good for both the baby and the adults if a pregnant woman cries too much."
She looked around to see if there was anyone else around and whispered again.
"Although she has been crowned as the queen, Beiping is so far away, who knows if she will make it in time!"
"If something unexpected happens...it might not even be passed on."
"And it's still early, who knows what will happen?"
She was just giving some advice casually.
But Concubine Ru pushed forward.
Concubine Ru's eyes lit up and she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I can't lose my composure."
