Yinzhen seemed to be unable to see Jiang Ranli's anger, and only said, "Dong E's hands are stained with blood, and she has hurt you a lot, but she is the legitimate wife of the Ninth Prince after all, and that cannot be erased. As for Naren, I will seek justice for you. From now on, she will no longer be the Ninth Prince's concubine."
Jiang Ranli's emotions were out of control. Ever since she was trapped in the palace, she had been comforting herself all the time, trying to calm herself down and convince herself to control her emotions, not to anger Yinzhen, not to make her situation more difficult, and not to make Yin'er worry. But when she saw her name erased from the royal jade book, she could no longer remain calm.
The records in the royal jade book are equivalent to today's marriage certificate. Originally, her name and Yinzhen's were on the same marriage certificate, but now Yinzhen threw her a divorce certificate.
"Why, why do you treat me like this?" Jiang Ranli questioned Yinzhen. She asked herself why she had to endure such a consequence since she had never done anything against the law of nature.
Yinzhen looked at her with deep affection in his eyes, "Li'er, I said I would give you a brand new identity. I promised you that I would give you everything you want. If I don't remove your name from the imperial book, how can I fulfill my promise to you?"
"I don't want your promise. I never asked for your promise. I want my original identity. You always say you love me, but have you ever respected me at all? Just because you are the emperor, can you tamper with other people's lives and identities at will?" Since traveling through time, Jiang Ranli has never been as sad as he is now, nor has he questioned anyone like he does now.
In response to her question, Yinzhen said nothing, only said, "In a few days, I will hold a ceremony to confer you the title of concubine, so you should have a good rest."
After saying this, Yinzhen stood up and left.
Yinzhen's last words shocked Jiang Ranli. She had always wanted to save herself by persuading Yinzhen, but now it seemed like a dead end. She wanted to leave, and leave now.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ranli walked out, but when she saw the heavily guarded palace, she retreated. If she just rushed out like this, she would definitely be caught by the guards, so she had to find another way.
Jiang Ranli did not sleep all night. When Yinzhen went to court the next day, she sneaked out, found a young eunuch who was serving beside him, knocked him unconscious, and then exchanged his clothes.
After doing all this, she slipped back into Yinzhen's entourage. Fortunately, it was still early and the sky was still gray. She lowered her head, so no one noticed anything was wrong.
In this way, she followed the entourage out of the Yangxin Palace. She walked at the end of the team, and then when no one was paying attention, she found a dense bush and hid there.
After doing all this, Jiang Ranli's body was already soaked with sweat. She hid behind the bushes for a long time, and only came out after Yinzhen and his group had walked away.
However, standing in the huge Forbidden City, she didn't know how to save herself. She needed a token to leave the palace, but she had nothing on her.
Biting her lip, Jiang Ranli walked towards Yonghe Palace. Now in this palace, Concubine De was the only person she could turn to for help.
"Stop! Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Empress Dowager's bedroom?" a guard stopped Jiang Ranli and shouted.
Jiang Ranli stopped and apologized repeatedly, then made up a lie, "I am Xiao Linzi, who serves Eunuch Su. The Emperor knows that the Empress Dowager has been unwell recently. When he went to court today, he specially ordered me to come and pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and see if she is okay."
