Chapter 130 Revenge on Wang Xi
Quan Minghe walked into the hall with a gloomy face.
The dancers in the back row of the hall were the first to notice the movement. They turned their heads and saw that it was His Majesty himself. They knelt down in a panic and saluted, shouting in unison: "Your Majesty, may His Majesty be well and safe."
The crisp sound instantly broke the originally cheerful atmosphere in the hall, and the music came to an abrupt end.
Immediately afterwards, all the singers and dancers in the hall reacted, stopped what they were doing, and knelt on the ground in an orderly manner.
The hall suddenly became so quiet that the only sound left was the slightly rapid breathing of the crowd.
Shen Yuning was dancing enthusiastically with a charming smile on her face, but she stopped at this moment and the smile froze on her face instantly.
However, she quickly regained her calm expression, walked up to Quan Minghe as if nothing had happened, and bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty."
Zhao Qizi and Su Jieyu also hurried forward to pay their respects, leaning forward and saying, "Your Majesty."
Su Fangyu was a man of keen observation and could tell at a glance that His Majesty was in a bad mood.
Since His Majesty had come to Yaohua Palace, she naturally knew that it was not appropriate to stay any longer at this moment, so she said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I will not disturb you and my sister anymore. I will take my leave."
Zhao Rourou kept her head down and stood behind Su Fangyu. She was already afraid of His Majesty when she first met him, and now she didn't even dare to breathe.
When she heard Concubine Su leave, she also whispered, "Your Majesty, I will leave."
Quan Minghe just nodded expressionlessly and said calmly: "Well, everyone, please leave."
Su Fangyu bowed slightly, turned around and walked out of the hall.
Zhao Rourou followed her obediently, and the two figures gradually walked away.
When stepping out of the hall, Zhao Rourou turned her head slightly and took a peek inside the hall.
Then I saw His Majesty holding Concubine Shen's hand and walking towards the bedroom.
Su Fangyu seemed to have noticed Zhao Rourou's little movement and glanced at her sideways.
"Now Concubine Shen is in favor. As long as you curry favor with Concubine Shen, no one in the harem will be able to bully you at will in the future."
Su Fangyu's words were actually meant to wake her up.
After all, Your Majesty is born with such outstanding appearance. It is natural for a woman of commoner origin like Zhao Rourou to admire Your Majesty.
In addition, when Zhao Rourou entered the palace, everyone thought that she had seduced His Majesty outside the palace, which was why she was able to enter the palace as a concubine.
Otherwise, why would His Majesty allow a woman with no family background to enter the palace for no reason?
Su Fangyu then reminded her not to think about competing for favor and offend Concubine Shen.
Zhao Rourou listened silently and nodded gently: "Jieyu Su, I understand. I can be promoted to the seventh son thanks to Jieyu Shen."
Su Fangyu nodded.
She has been in the palace for two years and has long since become indifferent to His Majesty's favor. Now she only hopes to give birth to the baby safely. No matter whether it is a princess or a prince, as long as the child is healthy, it will be fine.
The two walked along the palace road and came to a fork in the road. Zhao Rourou stopped and bowed slightly: "Sister, take care."
Su Fangyu walked along the palace road towards his own palace, and Zhao Rourou's palace should have been reached by continuing forward at the fork in the road.
But after Su Fangyu's back completely disappeared from her sight, Zhao Rourou stopped, turned around without hesitation, and walked in another direction.
Seeing this, her personal maid Fang Ru hurriedly asked, "Qi Zi, it's so late, where are you going?"
"Changle Palace."
Zhao Rourou’s tone was cold, but she didn’t stop walking.
Changle Palace was originally the palace of Wang Meiren, the most favored concubine in the palace. Its status was similar to that of Yaohua Palace of Shen Jieyu. It was very close to Weiyang Palace where Your Majesty was located and had a very advantageous location. The palace was naturally built in an extremely luxurious manner.
Zhao Rourou soon arrived at the gate of Changle Palace. She stood there quietly, staring at the plaque that displayed luxury for a while, then stepped through the gate and into the hall.
Since Wang Xi was demoted from a beauty to a good man, she could no longer live in the main hall, but moved to a side hall.
It was obviously not the first time that Zhao Rourou came here. She walked along the corridor with ease and soon arrived outside the room where Wang Xi was living.
When Wang Xi's personal maid Yin Zhi saw Zhao Rourou coming, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.
Ever since Zhao Qizi returned to the palace from the autumn hunt, her position has been higher than that of Wang Liangren. Every time she came, she never gave Wang Liangren an easy time.
Yin Zhi hurried forward and said pleadingly, "Zhao Qizi, Wang Liangren has fallen asleep. Please let her go. I beg you."
Zhao Rourou changed her submissive look in front of Shen Yuning and now had a frosty face.
"Yinzhi, Wang Liangren is already in such a situation now, why are you still protecting her?"
After saying that, he ignored Yin Zhi, walked past her, and pushed the door open and walked in.
Wang Xi was sleeping when he was awakened by the noise. He sat up and leaned his back against the headboard.
Even though her face was no longer covered with delicate and gorgeous makeup, her expression still revealed a look of disdain for Zhao Rourou, and her eyes were full of disdain.
"Mr. Wang, now that you see me, why don't you stand up and greet me?"
Zhao Rourou stood beside the bed with a cold tone.
"You are just a commoner's daughter, are you worthy of my greeting?"
Wang Xi sneered.
"Why, you just got close to Concubine Shen and got promoted to a higher position, so you act so arrogant in front of me? Humph, lowly people will always be lowly, and they can't change the lowliness in their bones."
Zhao Rourou's face darkened. Without saying a word, she walked to the bedside, raised her hand and slapped him hard.
The force was so great that Wang Xi's face instantly tilted to one side.
Yin Zhi saw this from the side and couldn't help but exclaimed, "My dear!"
She was extremely anxious and rushed forward, trying to stop Zhao Rourou, but was quickly stopped by Fang Ru. She could only watch, feeling anxious and angry, but unable to do anything.
Wang Xi was stunned by the slap, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. Just as he was about to curse, he heard Zhao Rourou coldly say: "Wang Xi, since I entered the palace, I have no grudges against you. I am of low status, but why do you use your superior means to torture me in every way?"
"I originally just wanted to live a good life in the harem, but you let the palace maids beat and scold me at will. My injuries have not healed yet. I can't invite a doctor when I get sick, and I can't even take medicine..."
"Even some eunuchs bully me to please you."
Speaking of this, Zhao Rourou's body trembled slightly, especially when she thought of the ugly faces of those eunuchs, she felt nauseous and hatred continued to spread in her heart.
Zhao Rourou gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "Wang Xi, you deserve this fate!"
"What have I done wrong? If you hadn't seduced His Majesty outside the palace, how could His Majesty have allowed you into the palace? Your existence is a mistake. I didn't kill you. Letting you live is the greatest gift to you."
Wang Xi was not to be outdone. He glared at Zhao Rourou and retorted loudly.
Zhao Rourou snorted coldly, too lazy to argue with her. She walked to the side, picked up the basin of water next to her, and poured the water over Wang Xi's head drop by drop.
The water kept flowing down Wang Xi's cheeks and hair, making her look miserable.
"Wang Xi, everything you have done to me in the past, I will return to you intact in the future."
Zhao Rourou looked down at Wang Xi, her eyes full of satisfaction after revenge.
"You are right. I have fallen in love with Concubine Shen. She holds the power of the palace and is deeply favored by His Majesty. She has everything you dream of. As for you, you will only be trampled under the feet of me, who is lowly in your eyes, for the rest of your life."
