Chapter 166 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 18
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Li Yu walked in and looked at the emperor who was reviewing memorials. He hesitated for a while before hesitatingly stepping forward and lowering his body. He said, "Your Majesty, Ah Ruo has been tortured for three days, but she refuses to say anything. She said that she will not speak until she sees you."
A few days ago, A Ruo was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment. In the original incident of framing Empress Xian, A Ruo played an important role.
It was because of her testimony that Empress Xian was left with no way to refute the charges, was charged with the crime, and was eventually sent to the cold palace.
A few days ago, the Emperor said that he would hand Arruo over to Empress Xian for disposal, but that would only be done after she was forced to confess everything she had done.
However, it is rare that such a traitor had endured three days of suffering in the Ministry of Punishment and yet did not speak a word.
Impatience flashed in the emperor's gloomy eyes, and his voice was frighteningly cold: "Go and bring her here."
Li Yu: “Yes.”
Half an hour later, A Ruo was taken to a side hall of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity by the guards.
Ah Ruo was covered in blood, her wet hair was messily brushing against her cheeks, making her originally pretty face look extremely disheveled.
At this moment, A Ruo no longer had the arrogance she had when she was Concubine Shen. When she saw the emperor, she couldn't wait to crawl over to him.
The emperor didn't even look at her, but turned his back to her and asked, "Okay, since you want to see me, can you tell me now that you have seen me?"
With tears in her eyes, A Ruo looked at the man who was standing against the light with only his back to her. He was still as handsome as ever, and his temperament was even more noble than before. His supreme majesty was revealed in his every move, which was a charm that no woman could resist.
(Ling Xi: No no no (waving hands repeatedly jpj), she refused, how can a dog emperor be happy with power)
But he had always been cold and ruthless to her, just like those years when they slept together in the most humiliating way. For more than a thousand days and nights over three years, she had to kneel humbly at the head of the bed every time he slept with her, and he would never even look at her.
Ah Ruo raised her head. This was the first time she looked directly at the emperor. She smiled and admitted, "Hasn't the emperor already determined that I did all those things? Why do you want me to admit it myself? Yes, it was me who framed Ulanara and killed Yipin and Meipin's children. I did all this."
The emperor asked in an emotionless voice, "Who is the mastermind behind you? You have to think it over carefully. The crime of murdering the heir to the throne is punishable by the death of all nine generations of your clan."
Ah Ruo trembled, looked at the emperor in disbelief, collapsed on the ground, and burst into tears: "You let the Keliyete family off lightly when they murdered Prince Duanhui, but you will punish my entire family. Your Majesty, you are really partial to the Ulanara family. I just don't know how much hatred the queen will have if she finds out."
The emperor looked cold and said, "Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"
"It was the Queen, the Imperial Concubine, and Jiapin. The Queen and the Imperial Concubine supported me. Jiapin once saved me, and since then I have become theirs."
"Your Majesty, you said that I betrayed my master for glory, but you didn't see how the Ulanara clan oppressed and humiliated me. Everyone looked down on me. I didn't have such thoughts from the beginning. It was the Ulanara clan who pushed me to this point step by step."
"Do you think Ulanara is innocent and kind? If she was really kind, why do you think Keliyete would murder Prince Duanhui? Keliyete is timid and cowardly, and there is no one behind her. Do you think she would do it so well? Why do you think Lianxin would help her? It's because Ulanara saved Lianxin."
"Why was Concubine Hui offended by Wang Qin back then? Wasn't it Ulanara's plan that caused Concubine Hui to be ignored by you? Also, when Concubine Hui wanted to adopt the eldest prince, Ulanara secretly let Suo Xin contact the eldest prince, so the eldest prince chose Ulanara over Concubine Hui!"
Ah Ruo fell to the ground, sobbing and screaming, as if she wanted to shout out all the resentment in her heart.
She was so angry in her heart. She was going to die anyway, so nothing mattered to her. But why were those people who once looked down on her able to live well?
She wanted them to fall with her.
The emperor already knew who the murderer was, but he just wanted more evidence so that the queen and the imperial concubine would have no room for rebuttal.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Take her to the Yanxi Palace and let Concubine Xian and Concubine Mei deal with her."
Li Yu: "Yes, I obey your command."
A Ruo was pulled away by several guards again, and what awaited her was revenge from the two men.
An hour later, in Yanxi Palace.
Before coming, A Ruo had been given a mute drug, so there were some words and some things that the emperor would not let Ruyi know.
Ruyi looked at A'ruo, who was given a mute drug and could not speak, and her eyes flashed with boundless hatred.
He thought of A Ruo's betrayal, the suffering she had endured in the cold palace, and the dead Hai Lan.
Whenever she thought of Hailan's smile when she looked at her, she couldn't fall asleep every night.
With a sneer, Ruyi gave Sanbao a look.
Sanbao took out a huge cloth bag and approached her in the face of A'ruo's terrified eyes. A'ruo kept struggling, but was held down by the young eunuch and unable to move. Finally, she was covered by the cloth bag in despair.
Then the sound of a woman struggling was heard from the bag, along with the terrifying screams of a cat.
Bai Ruiji went from Yonghe Palace to Yanxi Palace in a rage. Even though the Emperor's order was for her to deal with it together with Concubine Xian, she still wanted to beat A Ruo to vent her anger and then order her death to avenge her child.
Unexpectedly, Li Yu brought A Ruo directly to the Yanxi Palace without informing her at all.
When she arrived outside the gate of Yanxi Palace, Bai Ruiji heard the shrill, inhuman screams and the ferocious cries of wild cats coming from inside the palace.
Bai Ruiji paused in her running steps. Listening to the noise inside, she was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
She looked at the gate of Yanx Palace in fear and trembled. She looked at her maid Suyun and saw the fear in each other's eyes. Bai Ruiji swallowed and calmed herself before walking into the gate of Yanx Palace.
At this time, all the people in the Yanxi Palace were in the open space in front of the Yanxi Palace. No one stopped her, allowing her to walk in smoothly.
Another blood-curdling scream was heard. Bai Ruiji walked into the yard and looked in disbelief at the inhuman face of A'ruo emerging from the cloth bag. That face could hardly be called a face. It was even more terrifying than a monster.
Looking at the extremely cold and expressionless Ruyi again, Bai Ruiji suddenly screamed, and ran away in panic, supporting Suyun.
Ruyi looked coldly at the palace maids and eunuchs around her who were collapsed on the ground in fear, and sneered a few times.
Bai Ruiji ran out trembling with fear, supported by Su Yun, and then ran straight back to Yonghe Palace.
Even after returning to Yonghe Palace, she was still frightened. The scene she had just seen was still echoing in her mind. It was so horrifying.
Ruyi's methods were also widely spread. Everyone said that Concubine Xian in the cold palace had a drastic change in her personality. She was no longer as gentle and tolerant as before, but now she was decisive and ruthless. Everyone was frightened by her cruelty.
