Zhe Chuntang: She regretted it after provoking crazy critics of powerful officials

Chapter 22 You have to die to get out

Shen Yuluo hurriedly took a step back, but his shoes and socks were still splashed wet.

Xiao Quanzi immediately rushed forward: "How dare you! How dare you be rude to the eldest princess!"

The maidservant was also very proud and arrogant. She bowed reluctantly and continued to sarcastically say: "I heard that the eldest princess said in the Jinluan Palace that she wanted to apologize to our empress, but she didn't expect that she actually came to ask for help."

"Xiao Cui, shut up!"

At this time, a weak but majestic voice came from inside, and the imperial concubine Gao Rulan walked out with the support of another palace maid.

She has a tall frame and a bit of heroic spirit between her beautiful brows. However, she looks a little haggard due to excessive blood loss after childbirth. Her voice does not distinguish between joy and anger when she speaks, making it difficult to understand her attitude for a while.

Shen Yuluo bowed back to Concubine Gao: "She is right, I am here to apologize. If there is anything not thoughtful, it is also my fault."

Her tone was sincere and there was no unpleasant look on her face, but Gao Rulan still had no intention of letting her in.

"It's okay. I'm fine. My eldest princess, please go back. I'll tell my family that I've received your highness's apology."

Gao Rulan's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. She had heard a lot of rumors about Princess Chongning and knew that she was difficult to get along with, so she didn't want to deal with her too much.

But Shen Yuluo refused to leave. She stepped forward again and apologized deeply: "If you and I were in an ordinary family, I should call you sister-in-law, and I will call you sister-in-law. This is It's my fault that something like this happened to Sister Gao... I don't know how to make up for it. If Sister Gao doesn't dislike it, the first child born to me in the future will be recorded in my sister's name. In my name, I will show my filial piety to my sister."

On the way, she heard from Xiao Quanzi that the imperial doctor had checked Concubine Gao's body yesterday and was afraid that she might not be able to have children in the future.

Gao Rulan looked at her for a long time and seemed to see something in her eyes. After a while, she said, "Your Highness, please come in and talk."

The room was decorated simply and neatly, with no extraneous decorations. It didn't look like the residence of a harem master at all, and it didn't have any extravagant atmosphere.

Walking forward, there is a sharp and heavy red-tasseled gun displayed on a shelf in the main hall. There is no trace of dust on it, the gun body is shiny, and the scratches of varying depths have been wiped clean.It can be seen that the owner should take good care of it.

Seeing her staring at the long gun, Gao Rulan walked over, picked it up and rubbed it a few times: "This was left by my father and brother. After they died, this gun was brought back by the brothers in the military camp, but they couldn't help it." The body can’t come back.”

She didn't look too sad, as if she was just explaining something that happened to someone else. When she said this, her whole person was like a calm dry well.

Years of sadness seem to fade away after too long.

But this understated sadness was just integrated into her bones and blood and became a part of her body. It was not overly public, and it was not obvious so that no one could notice it.

"I can't help you. Whatever you want, as long as you ask, I will do my best to achieve it for you."

Shen Yuluo knew that any words of comfort were in vain, and the comfort given by her "murderer" was even more ironic. Only compensation that was implemented was the most useful.

Gao Rulan put down the gun and turned to Shen Yuluo, half joking and half serious: "What if I want your highness to help me get out of the palace?"

"it is good."

Shen Yuluo nodded, although there was only one word, but he was very serious.

Gao Rulan waved her hand and dismissed the palace people in the palace, and suppressed her teasing: "I am talking about leaving forever, not just taking a trip out of the palace. Can a princess do it?" "Yes, I promise you." Shen Yu Luo answered without any hesitation.

She responded so simply and neatly that Gao Rulan couldn't believe it: "Your Highness, do you know how treacherous my concubine's request is? I am not your ordinary sister-in-law, I am the emperor's concubine. Unless I die, otherwise I will be with you for the rest of my life." You are not allowed to step out of this palace!"

"so what?"

Gao Rulan was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"I mean, so what if I'm a treasonous person? Sister Gao must have heard some things about me. I think it's nothing more than those few words, about being deviant and unbecoming, about being dissolute and disgraceful to the royal family... There are even worse words. It’s not that there is nothing, it’s just that you see, isn’t I living a good life now?”

Shen Yuluo raised his hands and turned them around in front of Gao Rulan.

Gao Rulan didn't expect her to be so straightforward. She couldn't help but click her tongue and felt a little admiration: "The eldest princess's thoughts are really incomparable to ordinary people."

Her words sounded like sarcasm, but Shen Yuluo blinked: "Just think you are complimenting me."

People who have died once can see many things more clearly.

This imperial city is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. If you don't want to stay here, living is the same as death. You might as well give it a try and find a new way to live.

"How are you going to take me out, Princess?"

Gao Rulan could tell that the other party was not joking with her. In fact, even if the eldest princess was really playing tricks on her, she was willing to grit her teeth and give it a go.

Although she was sad to lose this child, it did not make her miserable to the point of collapse.

What really makes her feel desperate is that she will have to be trapped in this high and breathless wall for the rest of her life with a man who doesn't love her and doesn't love her, and she will have to keep having children for him. And regard it as the highest honor.

She doesn't want this life.

However, it is a serious crime for a concubine to commit suicide. If she does this, she will not only implicate her family, but also ruin the numerous military achievements accumulated by generations of ancestors.

"You just said that the concubine must die." Shen Yuluo put his hand on her neck and made a killing gesture.

"Can……"

"Of course, the murderer cannot be you, but me, the cruel and evil-minded Princess Chongning." Shen Yuluo smiled and told her not to worry: "But you have to tell me that after leaving the palace, you have to go Where. If you harm the royal family or Da Qi, I will really kill you."

At this point, Gao Rulan was sure that the other party was not just joking with her, but was really preparing to help her get out of the palace.

Her eyes instantly ignited with blazing hope. She was no longer as calm as before, and her palms were slightly warm with excitement——

"I want to go to the border, to the place where my father and brother died! In this palace, I can't do anything. I can only think about how my father and brother died every day, and whether they didn't recover the lost land when they died. I feel unwilling... I can only think like this and do nothing. I only hate that I am a girl and can't fight with them to kill the enemy! But I am no worse than the boys. My martial arts are as good as the others. Brother Even the lieutenants around me may not be able to defeat me!"
