If she puts in a little more effort, she'll definitely win his heart.
But Wen Nongnong disrupted all her plans.
Now that Gu Heng doesn't like her, she doesn't even have the chance to enter the Ziyang Palace.
The palace is full of people who fawn over the powerful and bully the weak. When they saw that Gu Heng's attitude towards her had turned cold, they immediately began to look at her with disdain.
Wen Ruyi was filled with shame and anger, but had no other choice.
Although she has been granted the title of Consort, Gu Heng has not actually touched her.
Without Gu Heng's favor, she would soon be worse off than a palace maid in this palace...
However, she will not give up so easily.
At least she's in the palace now.
Gu Heng's attitude toward her had just turned cold, but at least he hadn't shown any disgust towards her.
She still has a chance.
Looking at the Nine Stars Palace before her, she bit her lip. One day, she would make Gu Heng carry her inside.
She didn't linger any longer and turned back to the side hall.
Xianghe Palace.
A palace maid rushed in and reported, "Consort Liu went to the Ziyang Palace, but the Emperor ignored her and didn't even let her in."
Empress Dowager Guo sat in a chair, her eyes closed, enjoying the massage from the young palace maid.
After hearing the palace servant's report, she opened her eyes, but there was no smile on her face, because she was not very satisfied with the result.
She knew her own son well.
He has a natural protective instinct towards the weak.
Wen Ruyi saved her, and because she gave off a pitiful, weak, and helpless feeling, he protected her several times.
At the banquet today, after hearing Wen Nong Nong's words, he actually harbored some suspicions and resentment towards Wen Ruyi.
However, he merely ignored Wen Ruyi.
A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes as she beckoned to the palace maid.
The palace maid immediately leaned close and whispered in his ear.
Empress Dowager Guo whispered a few instructions, and the palace maids nodded repeatedly.
Finally, Empress Dowager Guo instructed, "Make sure it's done cleanly, so no one discovers anything amiss."
"This servant understands." The palace maid nodded cautiously.
After watching the palace maid leave, a smile finally appeared on Empress Dowager Guo's face.
A lowly wretch like her dares to dream of climbing the social ladder.
She'll make sure she doesn't even know how she died.
Dingguo Gongfu.
Wen Shiqing and his entourage had just returned from the palace when Old Madam Wen sent someone to invite them to Fu'an Hall.
The group exchanged glances, understanding each other without saying a word.
It seems that the old lady has already received the news and knows about Wen Ruyi's entry into the palace.
The group had no choice but to move to Fu'an Hall.
Madam Wen had been waiting for a long time.
After the group entered and took their seats, she began to speak.
"Did you see Ruyi in the palace today?"
Wen Shiqing said, "Mother, who told you this? We did enter the palace today, but we didn't see Ruyi."
Upon hearing this, Wen Tingyun was somewhat surprised that her father was blatantly lying.
But on second thought, my father's move was truly wise.
Wen Ruyi pretended to have amnesia and even changed her name. Moreover, Nong Nong later said that Wen Ruyi had no relation to the Wen family after that.
Upon hearing this, Madam Wen was taken aback. "How could that be? Madam Chen just came by and told me that she saw Ruyi in the palace. Ruyi is now a concubine by the Emperor's side."
It turns out it was Mrs. Chen, that gossipy woman.
Having just left the palace, he rushed to the Duke's mansion to tell the old lady about it.
The group cursed Madam Chen in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their faces.
Wen Shiqing sighed and said, "So Mother was referring to Consort Liu." He nodded and said, "There is indeed a Consort Liu by the Emperor's side, but she is not Ruyi."
