Concubine Ji coaxed her son and turned around to visit Rong Qiyue. Her face was gloomy and terrifying, and the maid behind her lowered her head in fear when she saw this.
The imperial concubine has not shown such an expression for a long time.
Even though she was once humiliated by Empress Feng and the imperial concubine was angry, she never had this attitude.
In the yard next door, Rong Qiyue put on clean and tidy clothes and sat on the bed in despair. Concubine Ji opened the door and walked in with a creak.
"Good morning, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine." Several people saluted.
Rong Qiyue raised her head to look at Concubine Ji with fear, and stood up in panic: "Concubine Ji."
"There is no need to be polite." Concubine Ji changed her harshness and had a gentle look on her face. She patted the back of Rong Qiyue's hand: "I know you have been wronged. There are some things I can make decisions for you.
After all, you are the emperor's close friend."
Rong Qiyue immediately waved his hand: "Qiyue has already had a low life, and it is not enough to be friends with His Highness the Crown Prince."
"What are you talking about? Everything you have experienced is not something you can choose easily. It is just the wrong women you have met." Concubine Ji gently explained; "If the husband of the Pei family hadn't deceived you, there would have been Mrs. Pei.
If you are too small-minded to tolerate others, you will not end up where you are today."
The husband of the Pei family was her fiancé. He broke off the engagement before the draft and then married someone else. This incident was indelible in Rong Qiyue's heart.
"You can live in this palace with peace of mind. Don't commit suicide again. A beautiful girl who kills herself will kill the three clans."
After being coaxed and coaxed by Concubine Ji, Rong Qiyue broke down and burst into tears. She knelt at Concubine Ji's feet and said, "I beg Concubine Ji to make the decision."
"Good boy, I will definitely make the decision for you." Concubine Ji had a smile on her face, which was funny but did not reach her eyes. She also sent several confidants to take care of Rong Qiyue and not allow her to commit suicide.
After comforting Rong Qiyue, Concubine Ji left. Her face returned to its previous sinister and vicious expression. She stood in the corridor in silence for a moment and then said: "Send someone to invite the old Mrs. Pei and the new Mrs. Pei into the palace. I will
I want to meet you two."
The confidants behind her were very puzzled: "Your Majesty, if you really want to support Miss Rong, it would be very easy for someone to die accidentally."
Concubine Ji's face changed: "When has the emperor ever used the word "begging" to me when he was so old? The emperor's attitude towards this woman today is unusual. If she dies, it will not be erased on the emperor.
position in the heart."
If a cheap life dies, it will die. She just doesn't want to hurt the relationship between mother and son. Yu Lianmu looks free and uninhibited on the surface, but in fact he takes feelings very deeply. In these years, Yu Lianmu has not had a woman around him. He
He is not a frivolous person.
Moreover, Rong Qiyue's appearance at this juncture is too subtle. Once he dies, Yu Lianmu may do impulsive things based on his temperament.
While Emperor Nanyang was still alive, Concubine Ji would not allow Yu Lianmu to take risks.
So Concubine Ji had to find another way to make Yu Lianmu completely give up on Rong Qiyue.
"Hey, this child is a poor thing. Don't worry, the queen mother will treat her well. Your father scared her a few words, and she jumped into the well at a loss..." When Concubine Ji faced Yu Lianmu, her attitude was gentle.
: "You have also been in the world of martial arts. Some things are not important."
Yu Lianmu was touched, and his ears turned red. He didn't know whether he was angry or shy.
This little thought could not be hidden from her at all. Concubine Ji was secretly frightened, but she did not show it on her face. After completely comforting Yu Lianmu, she still did not dare to relax.
Two days later, Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Pei came to the palace for an audience. Concubine Ji asked Rong Qiyue to change her clothes and wait behind the screen.
Rong Qiyue looked at Mrs. Pei with red eyes and called her aunt for many years. She always remembered what Mrs. Pei said when she broke off the engagement. How decisive she was. Her eyes fell on the young and beautiful woman beside her.
Zhuchai looked a little noble, with delicate makeup on her small face. She had a good appearance and was kneeling on the ground obediently.
"My wife, I would like to pay my respects to the noble concubine," Mrs. Pei said.
Concubine Ji didn't even look at her. She lazily waved her hand to ask someone to give her a seat. Unexpectedly, as soon as Mrs. Pei stood up, she met a palace maid who happened to be holding a white jade Guanyin statue in her hand.
, with a cry of surprise, the white jade Guanyin statue fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.
Mrs. Pei was stunned: "My wife..."
"You are so brave. This is the Guanyin used by the imperial concubine to pray for blessings, and you accidentally broke it." The palace maid yelled angrily.
When Mrs. Pei saw this, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy. Mrs. Pei's face turned pale and she was frightened and begged for mercy. However, Concubine Ji held her belly and said, "Come here, drag the two of them out to kneel down and disturb the prince of this palace. You deserve to be damned."
"
"yes."
The two were dragged away, and the room became quiet again.
Rong Qiyue said nothing.
The two Pei family members knelt all day and night. The next day Mr. Pei came to plead for mercy and knelt down outside the hall step by step.
Concubine Ji stood in the palace watching this scene, then turned to look at Rong Qiyue: "What I hate most is a heartless and unjust man. He married a noble girl for his own career, but left his childhood sweetheart behind.
You deserve to die for being sold into that shitty place."
Rong Qiyue looked at Pei Langjun with eyes full of hatred. It was him who had caused her to become like this. She clenched her fists tightly and said, "My dear concubine, I'm sorry for this heartless man in the Pei family. Please make the decision."
She saw the pain and reluctance in Rong Qiyue's eyes, smiled and took out the handkerchief to gently wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes: "There is no such thing as free food in this world. It is one thing for me to pity you, but
You must also give back to me."
"Me?" Rong Qiyue thought for a long time and didn't know what she had that deserved Concubine Ji's concern.
