Jiang Ranli didn't say anything, but just stood there with unfocused eyes. What could she say now?
Seeing her like this, Yinzhen was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent. He stepped forward and pinched her cheek, "I said that if you can't be well, then others will be unlucky."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Ranli to react, Su Peisheng walked in from outside, bowed to Yinzhen and said, "Your Majesty, all those guards have been dealt with."
Hearing this, Jiang Ranli's eyes trembled and he looked at Yinzhen in disbelief.
It was dealt with cleanly, in other words, they were all killed and silenced.
"What's wrong with them doing their duty? This is all my fault. I knocked Xiao Linzi unconscious and I changed into his clothes and wanted to leave the palace. Why did the emperor vent his anger on others?" Jiang Ranli looked painful. Because she was the only one who knew she was wrong, Yinzhen killed so many innocent lives.
"Xiao Linzi, huh," Yinzhen sneered.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Ranli suddenly had a bad premonition and hurriedly looked at Su Peisheng, only to see that Su Peisheng had a sad expression and lowered his eyes without saying a word.
Jiang Ranli's body swayed slightly and she almost fell to the ground. Su Peisheng's expression told her that the eunuch named Xiao Linzi was also implicated by her.
Turning her head to meet Yinzhen's gaze, Jiang Ranli suddenly felt that he was a stranger. He was as sharp as a cold knife, with the air of an emperor. He was no longer the cold and self-restrained Fourth Master of the past.
"Take her back to the side hall. Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the hall."
After saying this, Yinzhen turned around and left.
Jiang Ranli didn't know how she returned to the side hall. Her mind was full of those who lost their lives because of her. She didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of her. The feeling of being responsible for several lives was more painful than killing people herself.
For the next few days, Jiang Ranli stayed alone in a side hall with closed doors and windows. Yinzhen never visited her. Only Su Peisheng personally delivered three meals a day to her.
"Miss Jiang, please eat something. If the emperor knows that you don't eat, then I and the people in the imperial kitchen will be held accountable," Su Peisheng advised in a sad voice.
Hearing this, Jiang Ranli, who was sitting still like a stone statue, frowned. She didn't want to eat and had no appetite at all. But Su Peisheng had been using this method to make her eat for so many days. She knew that what Su Peisheng said was true. If she didn't eat, then with Yinzhen's temper today, he would definitely vent his anger on others.
"Eunuch Su, do you know how the Ninth Master and the Fourteenth Master are doing?"
This was the first sentence Jiang Ranli had spoken in so many days.
Su Peisheng looked a little embarrassed and hesitated for a long time but couldn't say anything.
"If Eunuch Su doesn't tell me, then I won't eat it either," Jiang Ranli threatened.
At this point, Su Peisheng had no choice but to surrender, and said in a trembling voice, "Jiu Ye, Jiu Ye gathered people and tried to rebel, and was sent to Xining by the emperor."
Jiang Ranli blinked and a tear fell, "When did it happen?"
"Just a few days ago," Su Peisheng replied.
"He won't, Master Jiu won't do that," Jiang Ranli's facial features wrinkled in pain. She missed Yinzhen, missed him like crazy.
Looking at Jiang Ranli like this, Su Peisheng felt sorry for her and said, "Everyone in Shanxi and Shaanxi says that the Ninth Master is the true emperor. Many people came there a few days ago. In this situation, how can this not be a treason?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ranli's eyes instantly turned fierce, which made Su Peisheng horrified.
"As early as when Emperor Kangxi was alive, people in Shanxi and Shaanxi praised the Ninth Prince. No one said he was the true emperor, and they would never say that," Jiang Ran said. Even if only Su Peisheng heard her words, she wanted to clear Yinzhen's name.
