"Father? How could you do this to me?"
When Su Ruyi heard that Emperor Cheng Xuan wanted to lock her up in the cold palace, she found it hard to accept and almost blurted out: "Father! I am your..."
“Wait!”
At this moment, a somewhat old voice suddenly interrupted her.
It was Concubine Luo who appeared here with her men.
"Teacher? Why are you here? The cold palace is freezing cold, and you're not in good health, what are you doing here?"
Emperor Chengxuan frowned, appearing to be concerned about Concubine Luo, but in fact, he knew very well the purpose of her coming here.
After Su Ruyi entered the palace, she was deeply loved by Concubine Luo.
I think Concubine Luo heard about Concubine Su's situation, so she came to help.
But, isn’t Concubine Luo’s news coming too quickly?
"Your Majesty, if I hadn't come, wouldn't you have really locked Ruyi and Concubine Su up in the cold palace?"
Sure enough, the moment Concubine Luo opened her mouth, she began to plead for the two, "Even if Concubine Su was wrong, she is the Fifth Prince's biological mother after all, and Ruyi is still a child. She is still young and doesn't understand anything. Even if she did something wrong, she can still be taught slowly. Why must you be so cruel as to lock them all up in the cold palace at once?
"Concubine Wang wasn't surprised by what happened today, and Concubine Su didn't commit any serious offense. Why not give her a small punishment to demonstrate the Emperor's mercy?"
Emperor Chengxuan listened to these words.
If it were in the past, he would have thought that whatever Concubine Luo said made sense.
But now, after hearing these words, he couldn't help but frown.
"Does the Concubine think that I am too cruel?"
Emperor Cheng Xuan asked directly, "The mistakes Concubine Su made were not small. She first nearly killed the Dragon Heir, then she wanted to bully Little Shuangbao and even put the blame on the Imperial Concubine.
"Everything she did was intolerable to me.
"As for Su Ruyi, she was an imposter who once took Shuang Bao's identity and replaced her to enter the palace to enjoy a life of luxury. Not only is she not grateful to Shuang Bao, she even dared to falsely accuse Shuang Bao and speak ill of him?
“It’s absolutely abominable!
"This is enough to prove that she has a vicious mind at such a young age. She is bad to the core and there is nothing worth teaching her!
"If the Concubine doesn't want her to stay in the cold palace, that's fine. I can send her out of the palace and let her return to where she came from."
Emperor Cheng Xuan's words were extremely cruel.
But these are his true thoughts.
Su Ruyi felt very uncomfortable when she heard this.
Her greatest wish after her rebirth was to gain the attention of Emperor Cheng Xuan and become his most beloved daughter.
At first, she almost succeeded.
During that time, she entered the palace under the identity of Xiao Shuangbao, and Emperor Chengxuan really doted on her.
But all this beauty was broken by the appearance of little Shuangbao.
At this time, Su Ruyi was filled with resentment.
Emperor Cheng Xuan told her to go back to where she came from...
But she is obviously the real princess!
Why can Xiao Shuangbao, a bastard, get his favor, but she, his biological daughter, can't?
The more Su Ruyi thought about it, the more upset she felt, and the deeper her resentment towards Xiao Shuangbao became.
If Xiao Shuangbao died, she could regain the favor of Emperor Chengxuan!
At this moment, a seed that had been buried in her body for a long time suddenly burst open.
Su Ruyi's eyes, which were red from crying, were instantly invaded by an inky black mist, becoming pitch black, like a ghost.
Little Shuangbao noticed something was wrong and immediately looked over very keenly.
However, Concubine Luo waved her sleeves at this time, protecting Su Ruyi in her arms and blocking Xiao Shuangbao's sight.
"Your Majesty, what if I must protect Concubine Su and Ruyi today?"
At this time, Concubine Luo said with a cold face, "Since Ruyi entered the palace, my health has improved a lot, and my mood has also improved a lot. I can't bear to lose Ruyi!
"If the emperor insists on having Ruyi leave the palace, or keep her in the cold palace, then I will accompany her!
"Your Majesty, please give the order! I will obey your command!"
She sounded really angry.
Emperor Chengxuan frowned again, feeling uncomfortable.
If someone else had said this, he would have agreed without hesitation.
But unfortunately, the other party was Concubine Luo who had done him a favor.
When he was young, he would have died if Concubine Luo had not sacrificed herself to save his life.
It was during that incident that Concubine Luo injured herself, resulting in her inability to conceive a child.
Emperor Chengxuan once vowed to provide for Concubine Luo until her death and never let her suffer any injustice.
At this time, Emperor Chengxuan remembered this favor and had no choice but to make concessions.
"My dear Concubine, how can I let you leave the palace or stay in the cold palace? Let me put it this way, the mistake Concubine Su made this time is indeed intolerable to me. I can choose not to send her to the cold palace."
Emperor Chengxuan thought for a moment and announced, "Concubine Su will be demoted to Concubine Su and placed under house arrest for two months. Su Ruyi will also be included."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
On the side, when Concubine Su heard that she didn't have to go to the cold palace anymore, she immediately kowtowed repeatedly in gratitude.
Su Ruyi was pushed by Concubine Luo.
She immediately followed suit, lowered her head, and knelt down to express her gratitude. She seemed to have really calmed down a lot.
Emperor Cheng Xuan glanced at them and paid no more attention.
"Your Highness is pregnant with the Dragon Heir. More importantly, you protected Little Frost today. Your title of Highness will be restored. You will be moved back from the Cold Palace effective immediately."
He looked at Concubine Wang and said.
