"If you ask me to plead guilty, I have to reflect on what crime I have committed, right? Otherwise, when I go in front of the emperor, I won't be able to explain why, and I will be blamed even more."
Sang Yan lied and excused herself: "You can go back. I'm still thinking about it."
Sang Ruoshui didn't know the inside story, but he didn't agree with it: "Sister, don't get into trouble! The emperor asked you to reflect, but if you really reflect, you would be stupid. Listen to me, admit your mistake in front of the emperor and say a few words of softness.
If you say so, the Emperor will definitely forgive you."
"So that's it."
Sang Yan pretended to be enlightened and said gratefully: "Okay. Thank you. I know what to do."
She sent Sang Ruoshui away and went back to the palace to continue sleeping.
Sang Ruoshui thought that Sang Yan would be prepared to go to the emperor to plead guilty.
As a result, she asked people to stare at the side hall, saying that she was still sleeping in the hall.
She waited patiently until night, but she didn't see any action.
She was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night.
The next day, people were still watching Sang Yan's movements - he was still asleep and had no intention of apologizing.
She was so angry that she threw the tea cup and cursed: "A stupid woman who is proud of her favor! Who does she think she is? There are so many women in the harem. If she keeps doing this, will the emperor still remember who she is? She is almost an old lady."
How long does she think she can stay fresh? She is so stupid!"
After scolding me, I sat back on the soft couch and almost picked my manicure.
Finally, an idea popped into my head.
She waved her hand and arranged for Xiang Xiu: "Go and seize the ice and food allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I want her to know the consequences of losing the emperor's favor!"
Xiangxiu thought about the news from Pei Muyang from the emperor, and made sure Sang Yan came to the emperor to admit her mistake as soon as possible, so she did so.
So Sang Yan soon discovered that there was no ice in the side hall, the heat wave hit, making people dizzy, and the food served at noon was also visibly poor.
Not to mention that there was no oil or water in the vegetables, there were only a few green vegetable leaves, and the rice was burnt black.
I couldn't eat it at all.
Since she traveled through time, she has been pampered and has no worries about food and drink. She never expected to enter the palace and live such a life.
In movies and TV shows, women who fall out of favor live worse lives than dogs, and it is indeed true.
"Miss, what should I do?"
Qiuzhi looked at the food. She, a slave, had no appetite, let alone a young lady.
Sang Yan was also thinking about what to do.
I can't eat this food anymore.
If the Dog Emperor wanted to treat her like this, unfortunately, he failed.
"Let's go to the main hall."
Sang Yan thought so, she was her, Sang Ruoshui was Sang Ruoshui, after all, Sang Ruoshui was also a true emperor's concubine, so she would not be treated harshly.
Sure enough, as soon as you enter the main hall, you feel cold and at ease.
on the dinner table
The eight dishes and four soups are also very rich.
When she saw it, she smiled with satisfaction: "Sister, I'm here to have dinner with you."
Then, without waiting for her to say anything, he grabbed a bowl of rice and occupied two plates of food.
Of course, Qiuzhi didn't forget about it either. He first handed her a plate of whole chicken, and then said, "I know you have a good relationship with Sister Xiangxiu, so I went to eat with you Sister Xiangxiu."
Qiuzhi: "..."
She was not so shameless, and said with a blushing face: "I'm not hungry, slave. I'll serve the lady to eat."
But Sang Yan didn't give in and just "drove" her away.
Sang Ruoshui was not in the mood to have a meal after seeing the master and servant's coquettish behavior.
When Sang Yan left after enjoying the meal, oh, before leaving, he didn't forget to ask Qiuzhi to move two basins of ice, and he was so angry that he threw the tea cup.
"Idiot! You know how to use these little tricks!"
But we can't indulge her in eating and drinking.
Otherwise, how could she go to the emperor to plead guilty?
"It's worthless!"
"madness!"
She cursed in the palace, and soon had another idea.
"From today on, I don't need ice, and I also have food and drinks, which are on the same level as those of the side palace."
"Empress——"
Xiangxiu felt that Sang Ruoshui worked very hard to get Sang Yan to plead guilty.
So, Sang Yan brought Qiuzhi to eat at night, and found that the quality of the food had seriously dropped.
Um...is she being implicated?
Sang Yan was innocent after all, but she didn't expect Sang Ruoshui to be so cruel to her.
"Sister, how are you going to live like this? The emperor must have abandoned me. I am useless and can't protect my sister."
Sang Ruoshui started to cry, and he cried loudly. There was no complaint between the lines, but he blamed himself.
Seeing this, Xiang Xiu felt that Sang Ruoshui's change was astonishing - he was really good at this palace fighting method!
Sang Yan also vaguely noticed that Sang Ruoshui could talk, so she felt a little guilty due to her words.
If she bowed to the dog emperor, this shouldn't happen, right?
Xiangxiu's cry rang in her ears: "Master Sang, my wife is not in good health and cannot bear this kind of suffering. As a gesture of kindness, why don't you just go and bow your head in front of the emperor? The emperor may be waiting for you. He will certainly not blame you.
Yours.”
Sang Yan: "..."
Was she really wrong?
But she really doesn’t want to bow her head!
Sang Yan returned to the side hall with a sad expression.
The side hall is oppressively hot.
The maids did their duty well, sprinkling water on the ground again and again, and holding fans to help her fan herself.
But they themselves were so tired that they were sweating profusely.
The sweat was mixed with rouge and gouache, and it didn't smell good.
She waved them off: "No need. You should also go and rest."
"yes."
The maids of honor left one after another.
She and Qiuzhi were the only ones left in the side hall.
Qiuzhi is the original owner's personal maid. Unlike the maids in the palace, she is the closest to her.
"Tell me, what should I do?"
She was a little confused.
This was the case in ancient times, when interests were involved, it was difficult to be alone.
Although she was reluctant, behind her was Sang Ruoshui, the Sang family, and even the maids and palace maids who served her.
"The Emperor is so cruel. He humiliates the young lady like this just because she wants a status. If you have to rely on someone like this for the rest of your life, you might as well go back to Zhuangzi."
Qiuzhi's words surprised Sang Yan.
"You actually think so too."
She thought Qiuzhi would persuade her to bow to the Dog Emperor.
Qiuzhi shook his head, his expression serious and serious: "I didn't understand before. I thought the palace was rich and charming, and the emperor doted on you. Here, you have a place to live for the rest of your life. But today, it seems that this is not a wealthy town. It's clear.
It’s a devil’s cave.”
Sang Yan: "..."
This insight is worthy of her reputation.
"Haha, Qiuzhi——"
She was amused.
The dull and depressed mood became brighter.
"You're right, it's better to go back to Zhuangzi."
What a shame!
Suffer from his abuse for a few days, wait until he calms down, and then leave!
Just think of it as bitter first and then sweet!
I didn't expect the pain to be so long.
It was so hot that I couldn't sleep at all.
The next day, dark circles appeared under my eyes.
Breakfast was even worse.
One look at her made people fall away.
I had nothing to eat, so I drank water.
I barely managed to hold on until noon, but my stomach was crying, and my stomach was burning with hunger.
It's so hard.
I haven't eaten properly in two days.
How about bowing to the dog emperor?
Sang Yan's dignity was on the verge of collapse——
At this moment, someone from the palace came to say: "Master, Concubine Jin is here."
Concubine Jin?
who?
While Sang Yan braced herself to deal with it, she thought about who the Jin concubine was.
Probably because I was so hungry that my mind was spinning.
When they arrived, they remembered that she had led a group of concubines to kneel down and beg her to save Concubine Li and others.
Jin concubine.
Xie Jinhua, the sister of Xie Sui, a cruel official in Jizhou!
