Chapter 196: Weak Palace Maid VS Eunuch Brother (5)
"Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much." Shi Yi leaned on his arms, feeling extremely safe and comfortable.
She was born in a humble family and was bullied a lot in the harem. She couldn't be tough even if she wanted to. With such a strict hierarchy, if she dared to disobey, it would be considered as insubordination. She would be punished with caning at the lightest and be beaten to death on the spot at the worst. She just wanted to wait quietly until she could leave the palace.
"You can leave here in a few days." Ju Heng touched her thin cheek, with heartache in his eyes.
She thought that the days of living with her aunt were already in dire straits, but she didn't expect that the palace would be even more terrifying. His poor sister has been suffering since entering the palace.
He became more determined to climb up and have power.
Fearing that they would be discovered by the night patrol guards, Ju Heng pushed Shi Yi back without saying a few words.
He has been a favorite of Eunuch Wu during this period. If he returns later, he will not be targeted by other eunuchs, but his kind sister is in a difficult situation. He only hopes that after going to Xixiu Palace of Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui will treat her better.
Shi Yi was reluctant to leave, but she had to leave.
She only hoped that Ju Heng could live well in the harem.
Bu Qi went into the study with his father as soon as he returned home, and the two had a secret talk in the study for a long time.
When Lord Bu walked out of the study, his steps were weak and his eyelids were dark. When Mrs. Bu saw him like this, she thought he had seen a ghost.
Bu Qi acted quickly, and Shi Yi went to Xixiu Palace to serve the next day.
Although Concubine Hui saved Shi Yi, Shi Yi was beaten half to death at that time, and his face was covered with snot, tears and sweat. People who were not close to him would never recognize him. Moreover, Concubine Hui did not really save Shi Yi at that time, and her purpose was just to make Concubine Yan upset.
Seeing her brother specifically asking her to take this maid to her own Xixiu Palace, she had been speculating for a long time.
As soon as the emperor left the court, he came to Xixiu Palace in a rage. He took the carefully dressed Concubine Hui into his arms and took her to the bed.
The maids serving in Xixiu Palace saw the emperor's anxious look and thought that Concubine Hui was too charming. They secretly knew that they couldn't close their mouths. However, Shi Yi, who was serving outside the inner hall, felt that it was not that simple. It was not until Concubine Hui shouted in the middle of the night that the maids also heard something.
The emperor was humiliating their queen!
In the early morning, the emperor put on his clothes and left without looking back. Shi Yi hurried in to see Concubine Hui. She was naked, with whip marks all over her back and clear slap marks on her face.
"Help me up." Concubine Hui was not angry because she was seen in such a mess.
On the contrary, she was very sober at the moment.
When she first entered the palace, she was still an innocent girl, and she had fantasies about the emperor's favor. But last night, all the beautiful fantasies were gone. For a person as heartless as the emperor, what he could never get was the best.
He called Concubine Yan's nickname on her body last night. He hated her, and hated the Bu family for harming the woman he loved.
Maybe he forgot who first thought that Concubine Yan had too much power in the harem and took the initiative to ask her to help. Shi
Yi was originally worried that Concubine Hui would be sad because of the emperor, but after serving her a bath, he was relieved to see that she was like a different person.
After Ju Heng told Bu Qi what happened in Xixiu Palace, Bu Qi smashed several sets of newly acquired Ru kiln porcelain when he returned to the Bu family.
This time, if he hadn't received a private message from Concubine Hui and dealt with the forces of the Yan family quickly, he would definitely be pulled down by General Yan in the court. However, General Yan's crying in the court for the loss of his daughter in old age did move the emperor's heart. Otherwise, the emperor, who always kept his emotions to himself, would not have gone to Xixiu Palace right after the court session...
Wait, Tai suddenly understood something. The emperor, who always kept his emotions to himself, actually went to Xixiu Palace right after the court session to cause trouble for Concubine Hui. His purpose was to put on a show!
The emperor wanted General Yan to bite their Bu family to death, and then he would benefit from it!
After thinking about this clearly, he felt even more chilled.
In order to execute the emperor's orders, he lost his life several times, and even offended the aristocratic families in the entire capital. His father did his best for the people of the court but got a reputation for being pedantic, and his sister was isolated and helpless because their Bu family had no close sisters in the harem. Their Bu family was already put on the fire, and the emperor wanted to make things worse and not give them a way out.
"Go and get my shawl, and go out for a walk with me." Concubine Hui, who had been sitting there all day, finally spoke in the evening.
Shi Yi followed her instructions, took the shawl, and helped her walk to the imperial garden.
"You look like you just entered the palace." Hui Fei took off her most primitive disguise in front of an unfamiliar little palace maid.
Shi Yi nodded and whispered, "I just entered the palace two months ago."
"I always feel that you look familiar, but I can't remember." Hui Fei leaned on the railing and looked at the lanterns in the distance.
"Your Highness once saved my life in Chuxiu Palace." Shi Yi put the shawl he brought on her.
"I seem to remember it." Hui Fei's eyes were far away, thinking of the little eunuch who was kneeling in front of her and crying.
She didn't want to take care of it at first. At that time, although Concubine Yan was disliked by the emperor, she was still the one who made the decision in the harem. It was the little eunuch's words "She is my blood relative" that touched her, and she really wanted to see Concubine Yan's hysterical appearance, so she "did a good thing".
"This harem only sees new people laughing, but doesn't hear old people crying. In a short time, I was disliked by the emperor." Hui Fei sneered from her nose.
Poor her, she was still thinking about winning the emperor's favor. It had only been a short time since Concubine Yan left, and the emperor treated her like this, not leaving her any face.
"Your Majesty, why worry about nothing? Lord Bu and Commander Bu are both thinking about you." Shi Yi could see the pain in her eyes clearly, but could only say some simple words to comfort her.
"Yes, we all have relatives who are thinking about us." Concubine Hui gathered the shawl on her shoulders and said softly, "It's cold, go back."
Now her Bu family is still useful, and the emperor hasn't made things too ugly. If one day her Bu family expands by relying on power, then she will immediately follow in the footsteps of Concubine Yan, either being charged with adultery or a new charge that is enough to kill her.
"Your Highness, be careful on the steps." It was already dark, and Shi Yi carefully helped her down.
"Your brother treats you very well, I hope you won't do anything to let him down." Concubine Hui patted the back of her hand.
This was a kind reminder, but also a deliberate warning.
"Yes." Shi Yi whispered.
