Seeing the dark figure groping towards her in the darkness, Rong Rong's heart suddenly jumped. For a moment, her consciousness was much clearer due to the shock, but her feet felt like they were filled with water bags and she couldn't move. Just as she was about to shout to the guards outside the door, the dark figure had already pounced on her...
A large man's hand instantly covered her lips, preventing her from making any sound. At the same time, the other arm tightly embraced her slender body and dragged Concubine Rong to the back of the hall.
Rong Rong knew that if she didn't resist at this moment, what would happen next would probably make her live a life worse than death.
With little strength left in her body, Rong Rong gave up fighting with the man and instead waved her hands in the air, trying to make some noise to alert the guards outside.
"Be quiet!" The man who abducted her was already extremely impatient. The hand that was around her waist couldn't wait to touch her chest. The disgusting big hand actually grabbed her front and reached directly into her coat, as if it was going straight in.
A trace of despair flashed through Rong Rong's heart, but when she thought of her relatives outside the palace, she was afraid that if she was violated like this, she would be accused of having an affair. Then, not only herself but also the Rong family would not be able to escape the punishment of Emperor Yu Gan.
In the moonlight outside, Rong Rong saw that her left hand could reach the wooden fish on the table. Enduring the disgust and anger at being violated by that person, Rong Rong concentrated all her strength, swung her left hand, grabbed the wooden hammer on the table, and slammed it towards the wooden fish...
'Bang...' The wooden fish was hit by the hammer and fell to the ground with a loud noise. It rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
"Empress, what happened?" The noise in the hall immediately attracted the attention of the guards. Several guards stood outside the hall door and inquired about the situation inside.
But Rong Rong's lips were covered and she couldn't make a sound. When the man found that Rong Rong still had the strength to knock the things down, he used even more force with the hand covering her, pressing his palm tightly on Rong Rong's face, leaving five finger marks.
The other hand was touching Rongrong's body even more unscrupulously. Rongrong only felt that the hand had penetrated into her inner clothes and was untying the rope of her bellyband. Anxiety suddenly appeared in her usually calm eyes. If she allowed this person to continue to behave like this, she was afraid that she would be killed today.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Although Rong Rong was punished to go to the ancestral temple, she was still a noble concubine after all, and was different from the male and female guards.
Although the noises in the palace aroused the suspicion of the guards, they did not dare to barge in at will. If they disturbed Concubine Rong, they would be blamed by the emperor and they would be in big trouble.
"If you dare to make any more noise, I will kill you!" The man heard that the guards outside were still unwilling to give up, so he suddenly grabbed Rong Rong's neck with the hand that was originally touching her body and whispered threats in her ear.
Little did he know that Rong Rong was not even afraid of death, so how could she be scared by his threats?
He instantly threw the wooden hammer in his hand towards the open space in front. Fortunately, the hammer hit the pillar of the hall, making another loud noise.
The guards outside finally noticed something unusual inside the hall. They pushed open the door together, and the lanterns in their hands immediately illuminated the dark hall. They saw a man pressing on Concubine Rong, and the two were planning to have sex in the ancestral temple.
The imperial guards were stunned. Even the eunuchs and palace maids who ran in looked at each other, not knowing how to react!
"Hurry... hurry and inform the emperor..." The leading guard felt that he was already sweating profusely and could only growl to the palace maids and eunuchs behind him.
How could those palace maids and eunuchs dare to stay here? If the emperor knew that they saw Concubine Rong having an affair, he would probably kill them.
When Rong Rong saw everyone running out to report to Emperor Yugan, her heart sank and her face turned pale. She wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but her consciousness gradually left her rationality and she fainted in front of everyone.
"Catch him!" The man riding on Concubine Rong saw that his plan was exposed, so he immediately let go of Rong Rong and tried to escape through the back door, but he was surrounded by several guards who wanted to capture him alive.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, the man turned around and looked at the sleeping Concubine Rong affectionately, and said with tenderness and sorrow, "Rong'er, see you in the next life!"
After he finished speaking, he actually rushed towards a guard, quickly drew out the sword at the guard's waist, and slit his throat to commit suicide.
"This..." Several guards looked at each other, but they didn't know how to deal with the aftermath, especially since Concubine Rong had fainted. It seemed against the rules for them to stay in the hall for a long time.
While they were hesitating, they heard hurried footsteps outside the door, and saw Emperor Yugan and the Queen hurried over from the harem.
"What the hell is going on?" Seeing the ancestral temple reeking of blood, a man lying in front of the ancestral tablets, and Concubine Rong lying disheveled in the hall, Emperor Yugan's eyes suddenly blazed with rage. He shouted directly at the guards, "I told you to guard the ancestral temple, and this is how you're doing my job?"
Emperor Yugan's roar made the queen's heart skip a beat. She looked into the hall and was immediately frightened by the scene inside.
The smell of blood made the queen walk in with a handkerchief covering her nose and mouth. She stood beside Emperor Yugan with an ugly expression, but did not speak at this time.
Seeing Emperor Yugan coming, several guards also knelt down in front of him with pale faces. One of them spoke up despite the pressure from Emperor Yugan, "Your Majesty, this man sneaked into the ancestral temple through the back door. We found something unusual inside the temple, so we pushed the door open to investigate. We didn't expect this man to... actually..."
Having said that, the guard naturally didn't dare to tell others what he had just seen, and for a moment he was sweating profusely in anxiety.
Emperor Yugan also noticed his hesitation and suppressed his anger, shouting to the servants behind him: "Except the Queen, everyone else, get out!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the palace servants quickly left the palace.
"Speak!" A low growl echoed through the ancestral temple once more. The mere sight of Rong Rong's ripped clothes sent a rage surging through the Emperor, who wished he could draw his sword and kill her immediately. She'd claimed she wasn't having an affair, but now this wild man had already sneaked into the palace to meet her in private. He wanted to see what that bitch Rong Rong had to say when she woke up.
"When we came in, the man was sitting on Concubine Rong, and the two were about to have sex! When Concubine Rong saw that we were discovered, she fainted from fright, and the man committed suicide! Before he committed suicide, he even shouted to Concubine Rong, saying...see you in the next life!" After he finished speaking, the guard said no more, but beads of cold sweat on his forehead dripped onto the ground in front of him.
There was a dead silence in the palace. Even the Queen's palms were covered in sweat. Emperor Yugan had a tense face, but his eyes, which were directed at Concubine Rong, were filled with intense hatred.
"Your Majesty..." The Queen spoke cautiously, but Emperor Yugan was still staring at Rong Rong lying on the ground, causing the Queen to frown and bite her lower lip. She advised again, "Your Majesty, my sister was just confused for a moment! Besides, this man is dead. We can't wrongly accuse my sister when there is no evidence. What if this is a trap set by someone else? If Your Majesty punishes my sister for this, wouldn't she be wronged?"
As she spoke, the queen wanted to step forward and touch Emperor Yugan, but was vigorously brushed away by Emperor Yugan.
"Unjust? Humph! I am the one who is truly wronged! I am such a fool, hoping that she can reflect on her mistakes quietly in the ancestral temple, but what about her? She blatantly commits crimes like a thief and a prostitute in the ancestral temple! Rong Rong, what injustice did this bitch suffer!" Emperor Yugan's extremely angry eyes seemed to want to skin Rong Rong alive, and the hatred in his eyes could not be extinguished by the Queen's few light words of comfort.
What's more, the Queen's words seemed to be pleading for Concubine Rong, but in fact they were adding fuel to the fire.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. It is more important to take care of your health! After all, my sister is also a member of the Rong family. You can't ignore the overall situation!" The Queen was brushed away by Emperor Yugan. Her body swayed slightly a few times. After she stood firm, she immediately advised Emperor Yugan, hoping that he could hold back and not let his momentary anger affect the overall situation.
"Empress, I am handing this bitch over to you. Before my imperial edict arrives, you must keep a close eye on this bitch! You guys, drag this corpse out to feed the dogs. Don't come back until the dogs have eaten it all!" After saying this, Emperor Yugan no longer wanted to stay in the ancestral temple. He turned around angrily and led Eunuch Yu and others out of the temple.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell!" The Queen bowed gracefully towards Emperor Yugan's receding figure, then stood up slowly with the help of a palace maid.
She watched coldly as the guards carried the man's body away, and hastily had the bloodstains in the ancestral temple washed away. After the bloody smell in the hall dissipated a little, the queen stepped into the ancestral temple again. Looking at Concubine Rong lying alone on the cold ground, a smug smile could not be suppressed in her eyes.
As soon as he returned to the upper room, Emperor Yugan wrote a few large, sloppy characters on the imperial edict. Then, he angrily threw away the brush in his hand, scooped out the jade seal and stamped it on the imperial edict. He threw the imperial edict into Eunuch Yu's arms and ordered, "Send this to the Queen!"
Eunuch Yu opened the imperial edict and glanced at it hastily. His expression suddenly changed. He looked at Emperor Yugan in panic and asked in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, this..."
"Why don't you get out of here?" Unexpectedly, Emperor Yugan didn't want to see anyone at this moment, and he became angry before Lord Yu could speak.
Eunuch Yu had no choice but to put away the imperial edict and return to the ancestral temple with a sad face.
"Your servant pays his respects to Her Majesty the Queen!" Seeing the Queen standing in the hall, Eunuch Yu immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.
"Eunuch Yu, where is the emperor's edict?" The queen remembered what Emperor Yu Gan said when he left, so she asked Eunuch Yu.
"Please take a look, Her Majesty!" Eunuch Yu naturally did not dare to say much. He quickly took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it to the Queen, but he did not leave.
Seeing this, a hint of displeasure flashed across the queen's eyes. The palace maid beside her immediately stepped forward and pushed Eunuch Yu out of the ancestral temple. Then she ordered people to close the gate and refuse everyone entry.
