Chapter 552: Keep a Low Profile

Yinfang Palace.

Shen Rongrong, who had finally endured three hours of kneeling punishment, was almost carried back to the palace by the palace servants.

The palace maid placed her on the couch, and brought her hot water and a stove.

After all, it was cold, and if Shen Rongrong had not practiced martial arts since childhood, she would have been frozen to death by now.

Even so, after unzipping my pants, my knees were still swollen and I almost lost consciousness.

The maid brought a hot towel to apply to her feet. Shen Rongrong shuddered a bit, but she still gritted her teeth and said nothing. After a long while, she asked the maid,

"During the time I was kneeling, did the Emperor and the Queen Mother send anyone to visit me?"

Zi Xi was speechless for a moment after hearing this.

When Shen Rongrong asked this question, she already had the answer in her heart, but she still couldn't help but ask.

After three hours, the Emperor and the Queen Mother must have received the news.

If they had sent someone, she wouldn't have had to kneel for three hours before being released.

It can be seen that I am not important in the hearts of the emperor and the empress dowager.

Shen Rongrong clenched her fists and couldn't help but whisper,

"My great-grandmother just passed away, and the emperor has already ignored me. It's so chilling..."

Does she have to be submissive to Si Linglong in the palace from now on?

How could she, the daughter of a merchant, be worthy of this?

Zi Xi's expression slightly changed when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, please don't talk nonsense, and don't complain about the emperor."

According to Zi Xi, her noble lady almost hurt the one the emperor loved the most. Because Concubine Quan had already punished her, the emperor did not punish her noble lady alone. However, the emperor must still be unhappy.

As soon as he heard the news, he went to Yuxiu Palace. He didn't even bother to pay attention to his own nobleman.

In her opinion, her young lady should keep a low profile as much as possible and not attract the emperor's attention. She would never give the emperor any evidence against her.

If these resentful words were to get out, the emperor would probably be happy to punish his own nobleman, and that would be truly shameful.

Unfortunately, it was not appropriate for her to say more of these words at the moment.

Because she knew that her young lady would definitely not listen to these things at the moment.

Just like she was determined to enter the palace and become the emperor's woman...

Fortunately, although Shen Rongrong was furious about the punishment she received today, she did not say anything inappropriate.

Seeing that the palace maid was about to serve the meal, Shen Rongrong stopped.

"It's already past meal time. If I go to serve the meal now, everyone in the palace will laugh at me. Don't go!"

She would rather be hungry!

Feeling a tingling pain gradually coming from her knee, Shen Rongrong was just considering whether to ask the female doctor to come over and take a look, when she heard a message from outside saying, "Lang Zhaoyi is here."

If her knee wasn't still hurting, Shen Rongrong would have wanted to jump up and question him immediately.

"What is she doing here?!"

The next second, Shen Rongrong already had the answer in her heart.

She must have come here to laugh at herself!

But in fact, Si Linglong came to collect interest.

Although this was Shen Rongrong's bedroom, no one stopped Si Linglong from entering. Si Linglong just carried Feifei around to the bedroom at the back, looking at Shen Rongrong who was sitting on the couch, smiling.

"Mr. Shen has been kneeling for so long that he must have missed the meal time. Fortunately, I have asked someone to prepare it for you."

As soon as Si Linglong finished speaking, she gestured to the back and the palace maid immediately brought in the food box.

He didn't care how Shen Rongrong reacted, he just opened the food box and placed the food on the table next to him.

Shen Rongrong didn't believe that Si Linglong had good intentions. She didn't even look at the food on the table. She just stared at Si Linglong and the "jade button" in her arms. Something dark flashed in her eyes, but she still resisted the urge to kick the person out. She said in a cold voice,

"Thank you, Lang Zhaoyi. I was punished today and am not eligible to eat."

"Look at what you said. Queen Concubine Quan punished you to kneel, but she didn't punish you to not eat. You must be exhausted after kneeling for so long. How can you not eat something?"

Shen Rongrong heard her words with concern, but she was punished to kneel down all the time, which made her teeth itch with hatred. However, she couldn't chase the person away. She gritted her teeth and let the palace maid help her to go to the dining table next to her where the food was set.

She wanted to see if Si Linglong had the courage to poison her!

If she dares to play, she will dare to eat.

We'll see if the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Quan will still protect this person.

Thinking of this, Shen Rongrong took steps with a bit of vigor, however, when she saw the food on the table, her face instantly darkened.

On the table were cold cucumber eggs, fried pork loin, grilled lamb chops...

All of them are delicious, and although the dishes are not particularly good, they are definitely not bad.

Can……

None of them are her favorite!

No, it should be said that the food Si Linglong sent was a perfect match for all the dishes she disliked.

If there were only one or two, it could be barely called a coincidence, but all of them were...

This person really did it on purpose.

But how did Si Linglong know what she didn’t like to eat?
