Chapter 123: Taming the Emperor like a Dog
Yan Ruyu had just gotten up when she received a notification asking her to go over and deal with it.
When they arrived at the outskirts of the Imperial Garden in a sedan chair, Wang Zheng had already surrounded the garden with his guards. A group of concubines who were usually nowhere to be seen gathered around it, craning their necks to look inside.
Seeing her coming, all the concubines bowed to her.
"Greetings, Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Yan Ruyu sat on the sedan chair and glanced down at these people. "What are you doing here?"
De Fei stroked her hair and said, "I heard that the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden have bloomed, so I came here to enjoy them."
Yan Ruyu rolled her eyes and said, "What a joke! The chrysanthemums have been blooming for several days and you're only here to appreciate them now."
The other concubines spoke up one after another, "I feel chest tightness and shortness of breath today, so I'm going to the Imperial Garden to relax."
"I left a jade bracelet in the imperial garden yesterday. Come and look for it."
"I'm just passing by..."
Yan Ruyu, “…”
Sure enough, everyone has a gossipy heart.
It is a woman's nature to love gossip. No matter how secluded she is, she will burst out with gossip once she hears it.
But it suited her just fine.
The bigger the fuss, the better.
Wang Zheng came before Yan Ruyu and raised his hands to bow. "Your Highness, Concubine Chen is inside. This is a matter concerning the concubines in the harem. Please make the decision, Your Highness."
Yan Ruyu raised her hand, and Wang Zheng immediately gestured to the guards behind him, indicating that they should let her pass.
Yan Ruyu went in on a sedan chair, and the concubines behind her looked at each other and followed her in.
Wang Zheng looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, pretending not to see it.
In the imperial garden, Concubine Chen had already put on her clothes and was sitting on the ground with a pale face. Her hair was messy, her clothes were dirty, and her eyes were empty.
The three guards put on their clothes and knelt on the ground, trembling.
Hearing the footsteps, the three guards looked up in panic. Seeing Yan Ruyu in the lead, they all fell to the ground, "Your Majesty, spare me, I know nothing."
The moment Concubine Chen saw Yan Ruyu, hatred flashed in her eyes and she rushed forward.
"Yan Ruyu, you framed me!"
She was very emotional, with a ferocious expression, and a ruthless determination to die together with her.
Wang Zheng was worried that Concubine Chen would hurt Yan Ruyu, and was about to step forward to stop her, but he was kicked away as soon as he rushed to Yan Ruyu.
"Get out of the way, let me do it!"
Yan Ruyu flashed and missed Concubine Chen who rushed over frantically. She fell directly to the ground in a very embarrassing state.
She strode forward and grabbed Concubine Chen's hair before she could get up, forcing her head back.
Snap——
Yan Ruyu slapped Concubine Chen in the face.
A bright red slap mark immediately appeared on Concubine Chen's pale face.
"Why are you glaring at me?" Yan Ruyu raised her hand and slapped him again.
She grabbed Concubine Chen's hair so hard that her face was distorted with pain.
"Tsk, how pitiful! Is this still the arrogant and high-handed Concubine Chen from the past? How did she end up in such a miserable state?"
Concubine Chen's chest heaved violently, her eyes filled with ferocious hatred, "Yan Ruyu, don't be too proud. I will never let you go!"
"Really? It's a pity you don't have a chance."
Yan Ruyu leaned close to Concubine Chen's ear and said in a cold voice, "Dare to touch Yuan'er, do you think I will let you live?"
Concubine Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, her eyes filled with fear. "What do you want to do? I am the imperial concubine of the current dynasty! I am the daughter of the Prime Minister! I am the sister of the Northwest General! If you dare to touch me, my father and brother will never let you go!"
Yan Ruyu turned her head away in disdain.
Tch, you talk as if only the Chen family has a general.
"Don't worry, I won't let you die easily."
Sometimes living is much more painful than dying.
She stood up, took the handkerchief handed to her by Qiao'er, wiped her hands clean, and threw the handkerchief at Concubine Chen's face like throwing away garbage.
"Adultery with a guard, debauchery in the harem, this is a serious matter, I cannot make the decision. Lord Wang, please report this to the emperor immediately and ask the emperor to make the final decision."
"yes."
Wang Zheng took the order and retreated.
Yan Ruyu asked someone to bring a chair and sat down to wait.
He glanced coldly at the group of concubines behind him who were watching the gossip.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, then they dispersed as if nothing had happened.
"The flowers are so beautiful today. I must enjoy them."
"The flowers over there are blooming beautifully, let's go and take a look."
"No, that's too far away. I can't see the gossip... No, I mean the flowers over there aren't as pretty as here."
"I also think the chrysanthemums here are more beautiful..."
Yan Ruyu rolled her eyes.
Soon Wang Zheng came back with the emperor's oral instructions.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is unable to explain himself, fearing that his eyes might be polluted."
"Oh, really." Yan Ruyu cracked a melon seed. "Then what does the emperor say about how to deal with Concubine Chen?"
"The Emperor has issued an oral decree: Concubine Chen has violated her moral principles and defiled the harem. She is stripped of her position as Concubine, demoted to the rank of Concubine, and banished to the Cold Palace, where she will never be allowed to leave!"
Concubine Chen collapsed to the ground.
Then he laughed, "Stripped of the position of Imperial Concubine, never allowed to go out, hahaha, never allowed to go out, hahaha..."
"Madman." Yan Ruyu cursed and stood up. "Since that's the case, then banish her to the cold palace."
She looked down at Concubine Chen condescendingly. Now the entire harem was her territory. When Concubine Chen was sent to the cold palace, she would let her know what it meant to live a life worse than death!
Liu Zhiyuan only found out about this on the fourth day after Concubine Chen was banished to the cold palace.
She was weak and had been resting for the past few days. Her head was groggy and she basically spent the whole time sleeping.
It was not until the fourth day that I was able to regain the energy to walk around.
As soon as Yan Ruyu heard that she could get out of bed and walk around, she came to see her immediately and brought her this great news.
Liu Zhiyuan was stunned when she heard this. How could Concubine Chen have an affair with a guard, and in the Imperial Garden?
This matter sounds so bizarre.
Yan Ruyu smiled in an unfathomable way, "Evil will always be punished by evil. She deserves what she has suffered today."
Don't blame others.
"Who is the villain?" Liu Zhiyuan asked.
"The Emperor, he's helping you vent your anger."
Liu Zhiyuan was stunned. She thought it was Yan Ruyu, but she didn't expect it to be the emperor.
"Doesn't the Emperor never care about the affairs of the harem?"
"Well, that was in the past. The harem had nothing to do with him, so why would he care? But this time is different. Concubine Chen actually dared to drug you. She is really stepping on the emperor's weak spot."
Liu Zhiyuan's heart skipped a beat.
The emperor's Achilles' heel, is she?
Yan Ruyu took a sip of tea and said, "Hey, I'm quite curious. The medicine Concubine Chen gave me was quite strong. Why didn't you and the Emperor..."
She pursed her lips and sucked them twice, making a kissing gesture.
"Why would we let the imperial physician remove the effects of the medicine?" A golden opportunity was wasted.
Liu Zhiyuan had just recovered from a serious illness and was originally pale, but her cheeks turned red when she heard the words.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yan Ruyu understood something from her shy expression and spat out the tea in her mouth.
"You and the Emperor haven't consummated your marriage yet, have you?"
Liu Zhiyuan's face turned even redder.
Oh my god!
Yan Ruyu was stunned.
These two have been sleeping in the same bed for so long, yet they haven't consummated their marriage yet. How could they hold back?
She was quite disappointed, "Why are you so useless? You haven't been able to win the emperor over for so long. This is such a good opportunity, just force yourself on him."
Liu Zhiyuan was stunned, "What are you talking about..." Wait!
What a great opportunity for Chinese medicine?
Suddenly I remembered that Zhou Kang said that the first time he and Yan Ruyu had sex was because of Yan Ruyu's Chinese medicine.
Liu Zhiyuan was shocked. "Did you do that thing with Zhongyao and Zhou Kang... on purpose?"
"Nonsense, I was drugged in the palace. How could I have run all the way outside the palace to find him on purpose?"
Zhou Kang is such a blockhead that he would blush all the way to his neck just by holding her hand. If she doesn't take the initiative, how can there be any progress?
Liu Zhiyuan was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Is this so open?
As expected of a general's daughter, her ideological awareness is even higher than that of a modern person.
Yan Ruyu became interested. "Let me tell you, the emperor is actually similar to Zhou Kang. He has met few girls and is very naive in his feelings. This kind of man is the easiest to control. It is easier for me to tame Zhou Kang than to tame a dog. One day, when you have conquered the emperor, I will pass on my experience to you."
