Yan Baolin was so happy that he pulled Bai Hua beside him and started chatting.
Finally someone paid attention to her, Bai Hua looked relieved and responded eagerly.
Xu Bin held her waist and struggled to bow to Ruan Yuyi. Her body was already showing her breasts, but her whole body became more and more slender, with almost only a skeleton left. Her belly looked round, and she seemed to be full of fat.
All the weight fell on that belly.
After all, they were all women. When Ruan Yuyi saw her being tortured to the point of losing weight, she couldn't bear it and hurriedly supported her without mentioning the affair.
"Are you okay?" she asked softly.
Unexpectedly, Xu Bin broke into a smile that reached her eyes and said, "Thank you for your concern, I hope everything is fine."
There was a sneer from the crowd, and Chen Cairen said quietly, "Sister Xu is pregnant with a fetus, I'm afraid it's not a monster that sucks essence." Look at her current appearance, does she still have a human form?
The simple words made Xu Bin's face change drastically. After all, she was a guilty person, so she didn't dare to say more for fear that she would make mistakes if she said too much, so she lowered her head and pretended not to hear.
"Chen Cairen's mouth is always powerful, but now it's time to take a break." Rong Bin said in a deep voice while coaxing You'er who was lying on her shoulder.
Chen Cairen smiled and said, "Your Majesty taught me that." He did not take Rong Bin's words to heart at all.
Ruan Yuyi looked at everything with cold eyes, without much desire to speak out and strike. She just stood side by side with Rong Bin, sleeve by sleeve, looking for her meager peace of mind.
.
After everyone cried for a while in front of the soul - no matter whether they were really crying or fake - the door that was ajar was knocked open, and a eunuch took the lead and came in menacingly.
He held a whisk in his hand, had a mean face, with the light behind him and a large shadow under his feet. He pretended to salute, "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen."
The palace concubines all changed their expressions slightly, not thinking that he was just here to perform this ceremony, and stared at him warily.
Those who come are not good.
As soon as the news of the death of the new emperor came back to the palace, Prince Jing's power soon rose. Many palace residents went to seek favors from him in order to save their lives, and many even surrendered to him. This eunuch was one of them.
The eunuch glanced around and grinned twice, "I think all the ladies must know that one of the concubines needs to be buried with the Holy Emperor. Now that the harem is in disarray, even if Miss Bai is included, she will be buried with him.
Six people—how many of them can’t be discussed?”
He caught a glimpse of the surprise on Yan Baolin's face and snorted with satisfaction, "But naturally, the Holy One was the one he loved the most during his lifetime, so that's the best thing."
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but focus on Ruan Yuyi.
She pursed her lips slightly, her expression unchanged.
But before she could say anything, Bai Hua rushed to say, "I'm not a palace concubine, why should I be included?" She stared with panic in her eyes.
The eunuch glanced at her, raised his voice and said, "It doesn't have to be you, Miss Bai."
Bai Hua was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and her voice was filled with tears. She grabbed the sleeve of Yan Baolin who was nearby and said, "Sister Yan, please give me an idea! Sister Yan..."
What she didn't notice was that Yan Baolin's own face turned extremely pale. When she interfered, Yan Baolin collapsed completely and murmured in a trembling voice, "The most beloved...the most beloved...hahahaha, that's not it."
Is she the Concubine Jin?"
Yan Baolin laughed wantonly, as if she was glad that she didn't need to accompany the new emperor to death. She threw away the white painting that was holding her, turned to Ruan Yuyi and said, "Empress, just accompany your majesty.
Isn't it in vain for your majesty's favor? Your majesty will definitely be happy to know this."
She was so distraught.
Ruan Yuyi's heart skipped a beat, but she just glanced at her indifferently, took a few steps forward, and stood sideways in front of everyone.
At this moment, someone from the palace brought two jade cups, with something like wine floating in them. They must have been poisonous wine. The visitor whispered something to the eunuch, and the eunuch nodded slightly.
The eunuch brushed the whisk carelessly and said, "It seems that the ladies have made their choice?"
The air in the hall has cooled down.
"Yes, yes, of course it must be Concubine Jin." Yan Baolin was afraid that it would be his turn, so he kept echoing and nodding.
The eunuch waved his hand, and two guards behind him stepped forward, as if they wanted to hold Ruan Yuyi back.
"Hold on," Ruan Yuyi said, and she called the two guards to stop. The guards turned back hesitantly to see the eunuch's face. She turned her head and ordered, "Muxiang, go to Chang'an Palace to get the things."
Mu Xiang knew that the young lady had already expected this, so she hurriedly responded and walked towards Chang'an Palace.
.
The eunuch took the "imperial edict", squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, his face was a bit ugly. After a long time, he put the things away, handed them to the person next to him, and whispered something. Because of the breathy voice he used
, no one was present to hear it.
But Ruan Yuyi clearly read from the shape of his lips - take it and burn it.
Ruan Yuyi clenched her hands tightly, her palms wet with cold sweat. She knew that since he was facing a formidable enemy like this, it meant that the decree she forged had at least deceived the eunuch in front of her.
But the eunuch was really acting out of common sense and had no intention of obeying the order. He raised his chin slightly and turned around, speaking in a more urgent tone, "Your Majesty, our family will bring this order to His Highness Prince Jing.
It’s just that this has nothing to do with the important matter at hand, right?”
Her eyes moved slightly, but she was still standing. Her figure was graceful, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her lips were like greased lips, as if she were a beautiful flower growing out of the bones of this man-eating imperial city.
Yan Baolin stepped forward on his knees, grabbed the hem of her skirt, and repeated noisily, "Your Majesty, just accept it."
At this time, Bai Hua had already hid in a corner. She clutched the lapel of her clothes, secretly glad that she had not really become a concubine. Otherwise, she might have been the one who was being urged to die by a group of people.
"Who told you to do this?" Ruan Yuyi said coldly, her fingertips trembling imperceptibly under her sleeves that others could not see.
While she was stalling, she was trying her best to think of ways to get out of trouble.
The eunuch grinned exaggeratedly, "What do you mean by this? Can't you follow the rules of our ancestors?" After saying this, he glanced at the side.
Two guards stepped forward in three steps at a time and held her arms respectively. Another woman pinched her cheeks and forced her to open her mouth.
"How presumptuous!" Mu Xiang yelled. She wanted to step forward and snatch Ruan Yuyi away, but was restrained from action. But all the people in the palace were just looking at her, as if they were afraid of getting into trouble.
There was clear poisonous wine sloshing in the jade cup. She struggled violently, with no blood on her face.
Just as the wine was about to be poured into her mouth, and Yan Baolin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Rong Bin suddenly stood up and said, "Wait a minute." She handed the sleeping You'er to the wet nurse.
