This man is hiding his cowardice and ignorance.
And he did it in the most despicable way—by having women stand in front of him.
At this point, the original owner finally came to his senses.
She thought that continuing the dispute would be bad for everyone, so she went to ask Emperor Mu Yunji for help.
I hope he can come forward and break up their engagement.
This would also allow Su Wanqing to marry Mu Huaiqing in a legitimate manner and become the Crown Princess.
Mu Yunji was silent for a while, then said, "You've been wronged."
She followed Mu Huaiqing wholeheartedly, but ended up like this.
Mu Yunji couldn't bear to see her continue to wither away, so he issued an edict to confer the title of Rui Fei on her and granted her the residence in Ruihua Palace.
Rui—he had seen the original owner when she was young.
At that time, the original owner grew up under the protection of his father and brother, and was innocent and lovely.
She was only two years old when Mu Yunji first saw her.
Being held by her nanny, she went to catch butterflies on the stamens.
At that time, he was still immersed in the fight among the princes.
I envy Zhu Xianyue very much, who has the protection of his father and brother and will probably have a smooth life in the future.
It’s a pity that things are unpredictable.
Mu Yunji took her into the palace and even named her Concubine Rui, not because he was attracted by the young woman's beauty.
Furthermore, Zhu Xianyue’s current health condition makes her unable to sleep with the emperor.
I have to say it but I don’t want to say it… I might get smashed to pieces… cough cough…
He made her Concubine Rui, firstly to prevent her from being tortured outside the palace; secondly to warn Mu Huaiqing - this was something he had done that was not fair.
His former lover became his stepmother. Whenever he saw Zhu Xianyue, he had to bow his head just because of their seniority.
-
But Mu Yunji rarely comes to the harem!
When he learned that it was difficult for him to have children, he dismissed most of the concubines in the palace.
Now, in addition to Zhu Xianyue, the "nominal" Concubine Rui, there is another person in the harem, and that is the Queen Mother of the Mu Dynasty - Huo Yunqiu.
Huo Yunqiu is Mu Yunji's cousin and the Empress Dowager's niece.
She was willing to follow Mu Yunji, even if they had no children.
After Mu Yunji adopted Mu Huaiqing, he naturally became Mu Huaiqing's "mother".
In addition, with the support of his "aunt" Empress Dowager Huo, Huo Yunqiu has the final say in the entire Mu Dynasty harem.
She promised Mu Yunji on the surface that she would treat Zhu Xianyue well.
But in reality, all the expenses of Ruihua Palace were charged to the Imperial Medical Office.
The palace maids assigned to Zhu Xianyue were all Huo Yunqiu's confidants.
When Mu Yunji was around, the palace servants took care of the original owner meticulously.
But when Mu Yunji was not around, he became sarcastic and mocking towards the original owner.
The original owner was angered to death.
But when she died, she didn't know the truth about her father and brother's death.
-
Looking back on the original owner's life, she was protected too well in her childhood and lived under the care of others during her adolescence, so her personality was somewhat complicated.
She is love-brained and loyal.
Humans are complex creatures, and there is no absolute right or wrong.
If I really had to describe her life, the only word would be "pitiful".
But this does not mean that those who have hurt the Zhu family can get away with it.
"Original owner, don't worry, I will avenge you."
Zhu Xianyue's body had been restored. The first thing he did was to open the door and slap Feicui, who was guarding the door and was still asleep, twice.
"Empress Rui...Empress Rui...
This servant pays homage to Her Majesty Consort Rui!"
Feicui didn't expect that Zhu Xianyue could stand up and even hit people!
Didn’t the imperial doctors say that her body was already at the end of its strength and she wouldn’t live much longer?!
