Chapter 026 Chapter 26
Chapter 26
When Wei Maoyuan listened to what Ying Baolin said, his legs went weak and he was about to kneel down to the master in front of him. How could such a soft and gentle voice, and such cold and harsh words? But he had no way to stop it, and could only wink at Tingxu when Ying Baolin and his servant turned around.
But the palace maids around Ying Baolin were just like her master, and were never easy to please.
Tingxu pretended not to see it. The emperor was going too far today. How could he let the young lady get away with it so easily just because of a small favor? She lowered her head and ignored the former chief steward's eyes that were almost cramping. She supported Ruan Yun and left.
Xiao Muzi watched from the side. Everyone was shivering in the cold wind. He had no choice but to go forward and ask his master, "Master, are we going to report to the emperor?"
Wei Maoyuan glanced at his apprentice, tapped the hat on his head with his hand and said unhappily: "I see! You'd better sit on it."
When they arrived at the Qingyi Palace, the emperor was still dining with Concubine Shu. Wei Maoyuan stood aside and looked up at the emperor. The emperor gave him a cold look, which frightened Wei Maoyuan so much that he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty."
Concubine Shu clenched the jade chopsticks in her hand. She naturally knew what Wei Maoyuan had done just now. What the emperor had ordered in front of her made her even more worried.
Yan Shiyu retracted his gaze and uttered a word through his thin lips: "Speak."
Wei Maoyuan told the emperor everything that happened in the palace and what Ying Baolin said. Yan Shiyu suddenly slammed down his jade chopsticks and said, "She is blaming me!"
Wei Maoyuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Although Ying Baolin had a short temper, she had a clear view of right and wrong. Moreover, whenever Ying Baolin acted like this, the Emperor would go to see her eagerly. Today, he summoned the Concubine Shu early. If he really abandoned the Concubine Shu and went to Ruiyu Pavilion, I don't know how jealous everyone in the six palaces would be of Ying Baolin.
Concubine Shu was secretly happy in her heart, but she looked worried. She said, "Ying Baolin was indeed wronged today. She may feel that what the emperor did was not to her liking. The emperor should not blame her."
Yan Shiyu looked at Concubine Shu's pretty face, put his hand in front of Concubine Shu, pulled her up and said, "My beloved concubine is thoughtful."
The smile on Concubine Shu's face did not last long before the Emperor patted her hand lightly. The coldness in his voice faded a little, and he said, "I will come to see you again tomorrow."
Yan Shiyu stood up and left. Concubine Shu came to her senses and wanted to chase him, but then she remembered that the emperor would not want his concubine to be so naive, so she stopped and sat back at the table.
When Liu Jin came in, the food on the table had already gone cold before she had even touched it. She squatted in front of Concubine Shu, put the heater in her hand and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has left."
"Why..." Concubine Shu held the heater in her hand and tried hard not to cry. "I have done so much, why does the emperor still want to go to that bastard's palace!"
She suddenly threw the heater in her hand away, walked to the table, and pushed all the gilded utensils on the table to the ground.
The corners of her eyes were red, tears rolled down one by one, her body went limp and she sat on the ground, she said sadly: "This palace and the emperor are childhood sweethearts, we have known each other since we were young, because the emperor needed the help of the empress's mother's family, this palace could be inferior to the empress, and only be a concubine, even if the empress's annual salary is 300 taels more than mine, this palace palace can be ignored, what this palace wants, from the beginning to the end, is only the emperor's true heart, but all this is because of that jerk!"
Liu Jin hurriedly hugged Concubine Shu to prevent her from touching the broken porcelain pieces, and said, "Your Majesty, don't think like that. It's just that Ying Baolin was injured today, and she just gained the emperor's favor. The emperor is also a little excited for a while, just like..."
As he spoke, Liu Jin suddenly thought of someone, "Just like Yu Ronghua, when she was in the Qiandi Palace, the emperor still doted on her, but now, hasn't she been confined to the palace by the emperor several times and lost his favor?"
Concubine Shu leaned on Liu Jin, her beautiful eyes hiding a lot of sadness, which she completely concealed when she closed her eyes.
…
Ruan Yun did not rush to eat when she returned to Ruiyu Pavilion. The incident in Yu Garden made her so painful that she could not eat anything. Ying Ning hurriedly called for a female doctor. When the female doctor entered the palace, the emperor's carriage had arrived.
Ying Ning bowed hesitantly and said, "May the Emperor be well and safe."
Yan Shiyu glanced towards the inner hall, "Where is your young master?"
Ying Ning said very cryptically: "The young lady is not feeling well, so she will take a rest for a while."
Yan Shiyu walked towards the inner hall with a cold face. He thought that nothing serious happened just now, but he didn't expect that she was unwell again. At that time, her dress was covered with snow, and it was likely that it had melted into water after walking all the way back. It was obvious that she was not well yet. He didn't know what was going on.
Ruan Yun lay listlessly on the bed, with large bruises on her lower back, which looked shocking.
When Yan Shiyu entered the palace to pay his respects to the palace maid, he startled Ruan Jun. The curtains were opened, but Ruan Jun did not move at all. The bruises on her waist were completely visible in her black eyes.
That day in the Zi Chen Palace, on her skin as white as jade, the only thing that was noticeable was the sunken waist. Every time I touched that place, she would whisper in a sweet voice, her whole body would be flushed and she would shiver constantly, which was particularly alluring.
However, today was different. The purple bruises looked shocking. Yan Shiyu asked in a deep voice, "Where is the female doctor?"
Ying Ning hurriedly brought the female doctor forward. The female doctor took out the medicine and carefully asked how to rub the ointment into Ruan Yun. The person who was afraid of pain in the past, today lay on the bed without saying a word, without making any sound.
Yan Shiyu couldn't help but lift her chin, and a teardrop fell on the back of his hand, burning it so much that he couldn't help but frown and said, "Why are you so fond of crying?"
Ruan Yun ignored the pain in her waist and pushed Yan Shiyu away with her jade arm, "Why is the emperor here? I just fell down. Anyway, I can't compare with Yuan Baolin's pearls, let alone the concubine Shu."
Yan Shiyu's eyebrows twitched, his face turned black as a pot, and he scolded: "Ruan Jun! I have been too indulgent towards you."
But just as he finished speaking, Ruan Jun shyly stepped out of his arms. Yan Shiyu glared at her with his dark eyes. If someone heard it, they would probably say that she was disrespectful to her superiors. Why didn't she understand that the mouth can bring disaster?
Ruan Jun cried even more aggrievedly, Yan Shiyu wiped away her tears stiffly, "Don't cry."
Her little face wanted to avoid it, but Yan Shiyu grabbed her and stopped her from moving. Ruan Jun said in a thick nasal voice, "Your Majesty, don't care about me anymore."
Yan Shiyu was speechless, and in the end he never said what he wanted to say. Forget it. Since she is still young, he should always be more arrogant to her.
Patting Ruan Yun's waist/hips, Yan Shiyu's dark eyes unconsciously fell on the bruises. He didn't see it just now, and didn't expect her to be so badly injured. He asked, "Does it hurt?"
Ruan Yun shook her head, her nose red, and said with some difficulty breathing: "It doesn't hurt, I'm just afraid that the emperor really doesn't care about me anymore."
Her soft body was buried in Yan Shiyu's arms. Yan Shiyu paused and finally held her shoulders, "Don't move!"
Ruan Jun twisted her body in dissatisfaction, trying to avoid Yan Shiyu's hands that were restraining her, but she forgot that she was injured now, her dress had been taken off, and she was only wearing a small shirt. Her snow-white peaks were rubbing back and forth on Yan Shiyu's legs, and no one could bear it.
Suddenly, there was something hard in front of her, and Ruan Yun's face turned red. She tried to avoid it, but Yan Shiyu held her down. He rubbed Ruan Yun's red lips with his rough fingertips and said, "If you don't listen, I will kill you immediately."
How could a concubine in the palace learn the rules like her, rubbing against him for nothing. Even other concubines had to follow the rules when serving him in bed, but she was so spoiled that she never put in any effort.
Ruan Jun's face felt hot. It was true that she had slept with a king before, but she had never been so unrestrained.
At least she didn't want to face it.
So she carefully turned her face in another direction, then took a long breath, and said to Yan Shiyu in an inappropriate manner: "I'm hungry."
The ointment was rubbed into the lower back, causing a tingling sensation, and waves of hot pain came up. Ruan Jun put down her chopsticks after eating little lunch.
There was no rest for this kind of trouble. Yan Shiyu turned the white jade ring in his hand and said sharply, "If it happens again, you are not allowed to come forward."
Ruan Jun snorted coldly and said, "I don't want to go there. Even if I stay in Ruiyu Pavilion all day, I will still be in trouble."
Yan Shiyu gently pinched Ruan Yun's white jade earlobe and walked out. Yingning was standing outside, just about to see the emperor off, Yan Shiyu said calmly: "When your young master went out in the past, she would bring a few more people with her. If the eunuchs in Ruiyu Pavilion are not suitable, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to replace them!"
Ying Ning responded in a deep voice and waited until the emperor left before entering the palace to see Ruan Yun.
The sleepiness she had felt suddenly disappeared in the commotion just now. Ruan Yun propped herself up and sat up. Ting Xu quickly placed a pillow behind her to prevent her from feeling any pain in the wound.
Seeing Ying Ning enter the palace, Ruan Yun asked her with drooping eyes, "Is the emperor gone?"
Ying Ning nodded and said, "When you go out in the future, take Chun Qing with you. If you encounter something like today again, there will be someone to protect you."
Ruan Yun curled her red lips and said, "Today's events are indeed very strange."
Yuan Baolin had never had any friendship with her, let alone hatred, but in this deep palace, as long as you are favored by the emperor, the six palaces will look at you with suspicion, and there is no way to escape.
After paying her respects this morning, Yuan Baolin walked very quickly and did not stay in Fengyi Palace for too long. If it were not for Concubine Ji talking to her outside the gate of Fengyi Palace, she would not have met Wen Yunu, and would not have gone to Yu Garden with Wen Yunu. She was the only one in the entire harem who knew best that she had drunk the bitter cold tea.
Ying Ning asked in a gentle voice, "My lady, have you thought of anything?"
Ruan Yun caught a glimpse of the pearls that the emperor had awarded her, closed the box, pressed her hand on it and said, "I remember that Yuan Baolin lived in Yuechun Palace?"
Ying Ning nodded, "Yes."
Ruan Jun frowned slightly and did not continue talking about this matter. Instead, she said, "I remember that there is still some Jade Dew Cream that the emperor gave me before. You can take two boxes to Wen Yunu. She was seriously injured today. I am afraid that she will be left with scars, which will not look good."
Ying Ning stood up and said, "My lady, please be patient. I will go right away."
…
Secluded boat.
After sending the imperial physician away, Luo Wan came back to apply medicine to Wen Yunu. She looked at the wound on Wen Yunu's hand and felt so distressed that she said, "The young lady's hands are injured like this. She won't be able to accompany the emperor for a few days. Ying Baolin doesn't care at all and didn't even say he would send someone to take a look."
“I have told you not to talk about Sister Ying behind her back. Have you forgotten?” Wen Yunu closed her eyes, her expression full of fatigue.
Luo Wan knelt down quickly. When she was still feeling depressed, a palace maid came in and said Ying Ning had arrived.
Wen Yunu let out a long sigh and said, "Please invite her in quickly."
Ying Ning saw the wound on Wen Yunu's hand and felt a little apologetic. "Today, the master learned that you were involved and asked me to bring you Jade Dew Cream. I will just apply it on the wound after it has healed. There will definitely be no scar left."
Wen Yunu looked at the two boxes of precious plasters in the tray and pursed her lips and said, "How can I accept such precious things from my sister?"
Ying Ning smiled and said, "If it weren't for you protecting my master today, he would have been seriously injured. My master is injured and can't go out, so I asked this servant to come. I hope you won't blame me."
Wen Yunu's beautiful eyes showed worry, and she said, "It's good that sister doesn't blame me for being outspoken. Why would I blame sister? As long as sister is not hurt, it's fine."
Looking at the two boxes of medicine on the table, Wen Yunu stood up and said, "Thank you for my kindness, sister. I will go to see you another day when I am better."
Luo Wan escorted Ying Ning out the door, and Wen Yu finally relaxed and said, "Put it away carefully."
…
Purple Palace.
"I have already looked at the dregs of the medicine Ying Baolin took, and one of the ingredients is definitely not correct."
Yan Shiyu did not stop writing as he listened to what Imperial Physician Sun said. His expression became increasingly gloomy and his entire body was filled with icy air, as if a storm was about to come.
