Chapter 338 Xian promised, don't let me down
The more respectful and cautious Yanwan and the other two were, the more it seemed as if Ruyi had hysteria. She had no respect for the emperor at all, with her eyebrows raised... as if she was scolding her son.
Ruyi had no idea that she was being roasted on the fire.
Her heart and eyes were filled with Hongli's anger, and her mind was filled with the thought that Hongli was blind and did not believe what his wife said. Instead, he scolded her for the two evil concubines, Wei Yanwan and Jin Yuyan.
"Your Majesty! You have been so blinded by lust that I am so disappointed!"
Ruyi shouted this with her eyebrows raised. Concubine Yanwan, Concubine Jia and Jinzhong could not help showing shock, then they all bent down and dared not speak.
Ruyi...she is really brave!
Looking at Ruyi's back, Concubine Jia wondered if she had been possessed by a ghost, as she dared to call the emperor stupid so close to him.
Yan Wan actually understood why - to put it bluntly, Ruyi was still immersed in the memories of her previous life and put herself in the position of queen.
In Ruyi's heart, loving a man means being his mother, managing every aspect of his life, making sure he doesn't make mistakes when sleeping with women, and hoping that he will side with her, his "real mother", regardless of right or wrong.
After two lifetimes, Ruyi has indeed not made any progress at all.
When she was a concubine, she knew that the emperor was the emperor. Even when she occasionally crossed the line, she was always very careful and knew to cover it up.
As soon as she became the legal wife, she immediately started to act like a mother and liked to lecture her son in front of others to show off her uniqueness and majesty.
Now that she has taken too much medicine and her memories of the two lives are confused, she is still a concubine, but she wants her master to treat her as his son.
If she hadn't been afraid of being implicated, Yan Wan would have almost laughed out loud.
Hongli's face was as dark as ink. He thought he had given enough face to Ruyi.
Even though he was polite to Ruyi because she was an evil spirit, he also really remembered their past friendship and didn't want to embarrass her.
It’s just a pity that this evil spirit only wanted to be his mother, and she took the face he gave her as a license to trample on him and dominate him.
Hongli's furious expression gradually calmed down, and he looked at Ruyi: "Come here."
Ruyi hadn't realized the danger yet, and stared at Hongli: "What does the emperor want to say?"
Hongli felt guilty for a moment, and then he was irritated by this guilt that he shouldn't have felt.
He is the emperor!
Not Ruyi’s son!
Even if it is Ruyi's son, if he really becomes the emperor, it will be Ruyi who will bow her head first!
Look, does she think she is Wu Zetian from the Tang Dynasty? !
He stared at Ruyi coldly: "I said, come here."
Ruyi felt a surge of anger in her heart, and she felt that the young man in front of her was competing with her.
She looked at Hongli as if she was looking at her disobedient and rebellious son: "What does the emperor want to say? You can say it loudly, this concubine..."
In response to her, Hongli suddenly raised his hand and slapped her.
Snapped!
The crisp sound of a slap plunged the entire room into dead silence.
Ruyi's face was twisted by the blow, and her eyes met Yanwan who lowered her head and eyes.
In fact, she had been slapped by many people recently, but none of them could be as shattered as the slap from Hongli, which made her unable to recover.
She turned her head stiffly, little by little, and looked at Hongli.
Hongli also looked at her. This time, his hand only turned a small arc and slapped Ruyi in the face again.
This slap was even lighter than the previous ones, but the force it hit Ruyi's heart was extremely heavy.
Hongli stared at Ruyi, who was full of disbelief, with a calm look in his eyes: "You have always been different. If it were someone else, they would not stare at me, but kneel down and plead guilty."
After saying that, he flipped his hand again and slapped her.
Ruyi's heart told her that she should kneel down, but her dignity did not allow it, and her feelings for Hongli did not allow it either.
She always knew that she was the most special person in the entire palace. Even if there was irrefutable evidence that she had murdered the crown prince, she was only sent to the cold palace.
Even Hongli himself said that she was special.
If she knelt down at this moment, she would be no different from other women in the palace.
The difference was nothing else but that she loved Hongli, not because he was the emperor, but because he was her young man.
Her face hurt, and her heart hurt even more. She looked straight at Hongli, with crystal tears rolling down her eyes:
"emperor……"
She only opened her mouth to say two words before she became choked with sobs and could hardly continue.
But she continued: "I have never cared about my position. I just want to be with the emperor. I don't care how others bully me. As long as the emperor believes in me, I will be happy even if I live in the cold palace."
Hongli took two steps towards her.
Ruyi's eyes sparkled with a bright light: "Your Majesty is my concubine's son..."
Hongli passed by her, leaned over, helped Yanwan up from her kneeling position, and said to Concubine Jia and Jinzhong, "Get up. Xianying is hysterical. Don't worry about what crazy things she said."
When Xian agreed, not only Ruyi was shocked, but Yanwan and the other two also looked at him in disbelief, as they were not used to his sudden drastic decision.
The emperor is the best at forbearance, so why is he so open-minded this time?
Ruyi trembled all over, and inexplicably had the urge to draw her sword and cut off her hair: "Even if the emperor dislikes me, he should just say so directly. Why do you have to humiliate me like this?!"
Hongli said calmly: "Didn't you say that you don't care about your position and just want to be by my side?"
Ruyi paused.
Hongli held Yanwan's hand and pulled her to sit on the couch. Feeling that her hand was a little cold, he ordered Jinzhong: "Take out an ice jar."
Jinzhong hurriedly agreed, stepped out, and called Jinbao and Jinshou, who were the most tight-lipped, to come in. The three of them carried the Bingjian out together.
This series of care made Ruyi feel heartbroken and trembling all over.
Hongli, however, was strangely calm, and even his voice was a little gentler: "You said that you only have me in your heart, but I don't believe it. Xian promised that you should work hard and don't let me down."
Ruyi was stunned. Looking at Hongli's almost gentle face, she asked uncertainly, "What do you mean..."
Hongli said calmly: "Didn't you ask me the night before yesterday if I were not the emperor and you were not a concubine, would I be willing to live in seclusion with you in the mountains?
It would be against the ancestral rules for you not to be a concubine, but if you become a humble concubine, it will be the closest to not being a concubine. I will try it with you."
Ruyi: “…”
Yan Wan really wanted to laugh. She could never have imagined that she would see such a great scene of Ruyi being humiliated.
Your Majesty, you are truly a talented person!
Concubine Jia couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth and wanted to laugh, and she burst out laughing.
