Virtuous Ugly Empress - C182
“Your majesty, your Kunning Palace has gone astray.” Chen Ju entered and reported to the still drunk emperor.
“Yes.” Zhu Yijun slowly replied, because he did not quickly change the way he thought about it due to his sluggish drinking. “Why did a fire break out? Send someone to save him. ”
“The reason is still unclear.” Chen Ju said, “The Empress is at the fire, and has not been saved.”
Zhu Yijun sat up straight, “What did you say? How could the empress be in the fire? ”
“The location of the fire is the East Warm Pavilion where the Empress lives everyday.” Chen Ju said.
Zhu Yijun got up and rushed outside, but his legs were weak and he staggered for a bit. Chen Ju promptly supported him up and supported him all the way up the chariot, moving towards the Kunning Palace.
When the chariot arrived outside the Kunning Palace door, Zhu Yijun saw from afar that Wang Rong was being supported out of the room. He seemed to have choked on his cigarette, and was continuously coughing.
Zhu Yijun suddenly waved his hand, preventing his from continuing.
In the darkness, half of the Kunning Palace was lit up by flames. palace maid who came and went while carrying buckets of water all became the background.
“Since the empress is Wuyu, then let’s head back to the palace.” Zhu Yijun said, he thought that he was not ready to face the Empress yet.
He had to wait.
After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yijun called for the Winter Solstice and asked her why her Kunning Palace was on fire.
“Previously, the Beauty Wang came to look for the Empress, and they barged in without communication. This servant will follow them in to apologise, and the Empress wants us all to come out. After a while, Sis Nutty also came out. She stood guard at the door, not allowing the servants to come near and serve her, so even this servant didn’t know what was going on inside. ”
“Later on, I heard that no one was sick enough to shout that they had gone astray. The Empress and the Beauty Wang were still inside, and no one was sick enough to rush in and save the Empress. If the Empress wanted to send more people in to save the Beauty Wang, she would have been unable to enter.”
“Beauty Wang is still on the fire?” Zhu Yijun asked.
Solstice nodded.
Chen Ju cupped his hands, “I’m afraid that the odds are against us.”
“If the Beauty Wang does not spread word, how can one enter the palace? Could it be that the Kunning Palace is raising a group of trash?” Zhu Yijun said. It was you who did not stop the Beauty Wang, which was why the Empress was in such a dangerous situation. ”
“Because the Beauty Wang was approaching menacingly, all of us were caught unprepared, which was why we did not stop them in time.” Dong Zhi lowered his head.
“Someone will come over later to talk about the fire at Kunning Palace.” Zhu Yijun said. You can go back first. ”
Indeed, in less than a quarter of an hour, Li Gong had come over and met His Majesty. “Beauty Wang had just come over to chat with Kunning Palace to accompany Empress, and so I didn’t really knock over the lampstand, because it just so happened to be on top of the tent, and the fire started right away. Beauty Wang came out to protect the Empress first, but she didn’t have the time to do so.
“The Kunning Palace can no longer contain people, right?” Zhu Yijun asked, “How is Princess Rong Chang, did you receive any fright?”
“The princess was a little frightened, but the empress has already calmed her down.” Li Gong said, “The Empress is preparing to go to the Qixiang Palace for the time being.”
“Is there anyone at the empress dowager’s side who wants to speak with them?” Zhu Yijun asked.
“The Empress personally went to the two palaces to report to the Esteemed Empress Dowager.” Li Gong said.
Zhu Yijun nodded, and waved him down.
The woman who had handled everything in such a short period of time was not the same girl he had seen earlier.
Where in the world was there a weak girl?
The empress has always done very well.
No one could find fault with him. Even he, who had been fooled by a fool for six years, had not slept for six years, perhaps serving the king was just a small, insignificant part of the empress’s duties.
So the Queen abandoned this small part, and the rest did their best.
No one was injured.
Is he hurt? When he slept beside his concubine, he didn’t think about the empress’s body. Going into the Kunning Palace during the first fifteen years of his life, he also only thought of her as a resting place.
Otherwise, how could he be so easily tricked?
It wasn’t that he was innocent that he was deceived, but that he thought he and the empress were considerate. He was too stupid, stupid to the point of being an emperor, a man.
Wang Yunzhi held a cup of hot tea in her hands. She did not want to drink it, nor did she speak.
“Yes.” Wang Rong He nodded. Where is the Beauty Wang? ”
“Also pack up well and send it to the Qin’an Hall.” No disease.
“I’ll go see His Majesty tomorrow and ask him to raise her position. At least she’ll look better in the funeral.” Wang Rong He said.
“Empress.” “No disease, no respiratory tract.” This fire was not ignited for no reason, so why did the Empress cover it up for her? ”
“Otherwise, if the Wang sisters were to fight, would the Beauty Wang set you on fire?” Wang Rong said, “This is of no benefit to me or the mansion, just let her die to save her sister.”
“Empress, if this servant hadn’t come in at that time, would Empress have truly prepared to die with Beauty Wang?” The moment she thought of that scene, her entire body trembled. The Empress was pressed down by the Beauty Wang onto the brick bed, her face was calm, and she did not have any intention of struggling at all.
“Nope.” Wang Rong He said, “I still want to live, living is so good, I don’t want to die at all.”
“What if I don’t go in?” “If the Empress doesn’t want to die at all, then she won’t remain motionless and will allow her to press on.”
“I don’t have any strength left.” Wang Rong He said, “When I see you, I don’t want to die. I still have my grandmother, father, brother, and Rong Chang.
“Empress, remember your words.” Pathless said, “If you don’t want to live, there will be many people who will go with you. However, the people who will stay will be pitiful. The princess has lost her mother at such a young age, what should we do in the future? If we choose a prince consort like Princess Yongning, what should we do?”
Wang Rong nodded, “I know. I will live well.” At that time, my head was cramping, and I was stunned. I didn’t want to die, I am very sure. ”
“During the great fire, His Majesty came to Kunning Palace once, but I don’t know what he came back to do.” “When Li Gong went to the Qianqing Palace to reply, he also said that his Majesty’s expression was very calm.”
Wang Rong nodded. Wang Rong shook her head and said, “Even if I go to bed, I’ll just lie on it. Let me sit on it. When I’m tired, I’ll naturally go rest. ”
Yesterday, they had only heard that there was a fire in the Kunning Palace, but was forced to stay inside the palace to greet the concubines who were unable to leave. Thus, the concubine only asked Gu Yanxi to explain what happened last night so that they wouldn’t pry about and steal the information from her and let the matter change its shape in her mouth.
Wang Rong He sent Rong Chang to Imperial Consort Yi, “Mother has been rather busy recently, and is afraid that she might not be able to take care of you, why don’t you temporarily stay in mother Palace for a while?”
“No, I want to stay with mother.” Rong Chang pitifully said that she had keenly felt that something was wrong with her mother recently, but she didn’t know what to do. She only wanted to accompany her mother.
“You stay with your mother. Your mother needs to be distracted so she can’t handle matters well. If the treatment isn’t good, then you can’t rest well. If you can’t rest properly, then your mother will be sick.” Wang Rong Yi caressed her head and said, “Does Rong Chang wish for mother to be sick?”
Rong Chang shook her head, “I don’t want to.” The voice was especially tearful.
“Be good, mother will bring you back immediately.” Wang Rong said warmly.
After sending Rong Chang off, Wang Rong and Yue Miaomiao dressed her up. Dressed in the attire of a queen, they went to the Qianqing Palace to see her off, but the emperor did not summon her.
She stood at the door for a while, never expecting that she would one day put on a battle robe and give herself the courage to enter Qianqing Palace. Yet, she could not enter while standing outside.
She took out a paper roll from her sleeve and said to Zhang Cheng, “Take this inside to let His Majesty have a look.”
In the paper, it was written that the Beauty Wang had done well to protect the emperor, and they had raised her to the throne and buried her.
Zhu Yijun looked at the paper, “Let’s raise him to a noble. After death, he will not enter the Royal Tomb.”
Zhang Cheng came out to answer the empress, while Wang Rong and Zhu Chi only went up by one level? Has His Majesty decided to never see me again in this lifetime? ”
“His Majesty had a great headache after drinking wine yesterday. If it wasn’t because he didn’t see the Empress, he wouldn’t see anyone.” Zhang Cheng said.
Then, in the midst of the deadlock, Imperial Noble Consort Zheng’s chariot entered the Qianqing Palace. With big sister here, why don’t you go in? ”
Wang Rong and she looked at her coldly. She shyly covered her face with a handkerchief and said, “His Majesty has summoned me to serve him. I won’t speak to my sister for long to prevent His Majesty from waiting too long.”
Imperial Noble Consort Zheng walked in gracefully.
Wang Rong He did not waste any more time talking, and turned to leave.
Beauty Wang still didn’t believe it when the old lady and Lady Cui entered his palace. After entering the palace, they found out that it was real and immediately cried until they fainted. The old lady held onto Wang Rong He’s hand, “What’s the fire in your Kunning Palace?”
“Beauty Wang, second sister thought that I was the one who had asked His Majesty to feed her the hidden medicine, so she came to find me.”
“I was in a bad mood, so I argued with her for a while. She said she didn’t want to live, so she overturned the candlestick.” Wang Rong’s voice was filled with fatigue. She had never thought that the second life that was stuck in her hands would be the life of her younger sister.
“It’s all my fault. She’s not rational, so I won’t tell her. However, I was very agitated in my heart. I used her to vent my anger, forcing her to lose her mind and do something wrong. ”
“What does this have to do with the Empress?” The old lady said, “She had done the wrong thing by herself. You didn’t mind if she did it to you, but you kept it a secret for her.”
“Don’t worry about death.” Wang Rong He said, “Besides, I hid it for my own sake, for the sake of my family.”
“The Empress’s spirit really isn’t very good. Empress, you must take care of yourself.” the old lady said.
Wang Rong He nodded. “Grandmother, don’t worry too much about me. Otherwise, I’ll have to worry about Grandmother’s health.”
“I’m not worried about the Empress, so the Empress shouldn’t worry about me either.” Grandmother said.
Zhu Yijun hid within the Qianqing Palace to drink, it had been a few days since he last saw the pavilion master. Lying on the Imperial Consort Zheng’s waist, he pressed against his forehead, “Your Majesty, I just heard some news, it’s so magical.”
Zhu Yijun did not reply, and the Imperial Consort Zheng continued to speak for herself. I heard that in the Duke Yongnian Palace, only Beauty Wang was selected at the beginning. However, Duke Yongnian doted on the eldest daughter and used the name of the eldest daughter to replace the second daughter. However, he did not expect that the second daughter would enter the noble’s eyes so quickly.
“This is too much of a coincidence. If the Duke Yongnian Palace didn’t use their eldest daughter’s name to replace the second daughter’s, it would be hard to say for sure now.”
Zhu Yijun opened his eyes and looked at her. If he said that the Duke Yongnian would make Qian Xiao Wang Rong’s name come to his believed, and let her replace the second daughter and enter the palace, that would be impossible. Moreover, from the beginning, the person he said he wanted to enter the palace was Wang Rong, what did that have to do with the Beauty Wang?
Zhu Yijun chased away the Imperial Consort Zheng and summoned Zhang Cheng to ask.
Recently, her majesty’s mood was unsettled and it was hard for her to serve, so Imperial Consort Zheng could only obediently leave. But now, only she could come and go of Qianqing Palace, as long as others knew that her grace wouldn’t decline.
Zhang Cheng couldn’t help but feel a chill as he kneeled in front of His Majesty. His Majesty had never made people’s hearts so cold in a long time, yet he had still asked about things that happened long ago.
“Your Majesty, the Empress entered the palace early on in the morning. She entered the palace so smoothly. What does Your Majesty want to ask?” Zhang Cheng said while trembling in fear.
“I ask you, has the Duke Yongnian Palace ever used silver to make it so that Wang Rong’s name isn’t written in the Imperial Consort Candidate’s book?” Zhu Yijun asked.
Zhang Cheng was sweating profusely.
Zhu Yijun said, “Don’t think that you can lie to us. We even asked you for explanation that we still believed you, otherwise we would have gone to find the eunuch who had fought with the Palace Manager and get to the bottom of it.”
“Your servant dares not lie to Your Majesty.” Zhang Cheng said, “It’s just that this servant was incompetent. The selection eunuch thought that this servant wanted Second Young Miss of the Wang family to be selected, and in the first book, there was only Second Young Miss Wang’s name.”
“The Empress’s name was added by the later.” Zhang Cheng lowered his head and replied.
Zhu Yijun didn’t speak for a long time, to the point where Zhang Cheng really wanted to know what his Majesty was thinking. He was about to raise his head and stealthily size up his Majesty’s expression, then use a teacup to fly past his head and blossom on the floor behind him.
Good, good, very good.” Zhu Yijun fell back into a fretful and angry situation. He was the one who had been thinking too much from the beginning. “That year, he met a woman in the lantern market. She was neither a devastatingly beautiful woman, nor a beautiful woman. Only a sudden shyness in her calm eyes had rooted itself in his heart.
After that, they met by accident and pleasant surprise. She was different from all the girls he had ever met.
Originally, she wouldn’t be able to participate in the election, and his choice of her was a blessing that she had accumulated over several lifetimes. He really did think so.
No wonder when she came to the palace, she acted as if she didn’t know him. He thought she was embarrassed or wanted to reject him. So it turned out that she only wanted to choose a palace. He had left her with words to read over and over again, but she wished that she could stay far away from him.
The palace and him were both things she did not want.
Zhu Yijun smashed everything he could, and the pain in his heart was not relieved at all. Why was he the only one suffering? Zhu Yijun thought with reddened eyes. If I don’t touch you, wouldn’t I be able to touch the people beside you and make you feel uncomfortable?
“The s and the empress weren’t strong enough to protect them, causing the fire in their Kunning Palace to cause the empress to be frightened. Their sins shall be punished, and with regards to their old relationship, the empress only released them out of the palace, leaving no one behind.” Zhu Yijun said. Chen Ju, go and do it. ”
“Yes.” Chen Ju replied.
In just two or three days, all the flesh that she had on her body had been scattered, and her clothes were swaying as she wore. It was so heartbreaking to watch, Wuyou said that ever since the Empress had slimmed down and entered the palace for her wedding, she had not gotten fat again.
“How difficult it is for the Empress to grow fat in this palace.” Wuyou said with a pained heart.
“The Empress did not punish us for the fire in the Kunning Palace, so it’s unknown how Her Majesty will punish us.” Gu Yanxi said, “Recently, there have been some people in the palace maid who were panicking.”
“The Empress hasn’t even punished us, so why is His Majesty punishing us?” There was nothing wrong with him.
“What other reason does Your Majesty have to punish us?” Gu Yanxi said. These people usually had some dignity in front of the Empress, but if something really happened, they would not know. For example, they would not know why His Majesty had suddenly gotten so angry with the Empress.
But regardless of whether they knew or not, Kunning Palace were all on the same boat, and the future suddenly became obscure and difficult to determine.
