Traveling through the harem: the favorite concubine

Chapter 53

Zhao Qingze hugged Aman, but before seeing Chen Yuanxiang, seeing Ruyi behind her stopped, he couldn't help turning around, took her hand with a smile, and said, "Why don't you leave, be careful that Aman leaves her behind?" Mother."

Ruyi subconsciously walked behind Zhao Qingze, and then looked at Chen Yuanxiang who was not far away.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Qingze followed Ruyi's gaze.

Just in time to see Chen Yuanxiang who was staring at them dumbfounded, a slight disgust appeared in his expression, but he clenched Ruyi's hand to comfort him: "Don't be afraid."

He didn't intend to hide the existence of Ruyi and Aman at first. His women and children should be open and aboveboard instead of hiding them. He just didn't think it was necessary to inform those people. Now they found out by themselves, and even more it is good.

He made no secret of his concern for Ruyi and Aman, looked at Chen Yuanxiang coldly and said, "What are you doing here?"

There were layers of guards between them, but Chen Yuanxiang just looked at Zhao Qingze stupidly. When she heard the other party's question, she subconsciously replied: "I'll bring soup to Your Majesty!"

After saying this, the basket she was carrying in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, the basket was overturned, and the soup in the basket was overturned, staining the ground.

This sound made Zhao Qingze even more disgusted and frowned, while Chen Yuanxiang trembled, almost unable to control his emotions.

It must be fake!It must be fake!

Chen Yuanxiang comforted himself, and clenched his hands under his sleeves into fists.

She never dreamed that she would see this scene.

On the way here, she thought that the emperor would refuse to see her.It doesn't matter that way, she will wait quietly at the gate of Zhaoyang Hall, and the emperor will be moved by her sincerity.After all, they are a married couple, and she has always served the emperor attentively. The emperor may blame her for not marrying him when she was sick, but it doesn't matter.After all, she gave the emperor clothes made by herself, as long as she told the emperor that she stayed in the east palace instead of accompanying the emperor for the sake of the east palace and the emperor's good, the emperor would forgive her.

The plan was clearly going well, and when the guards stopped her, she didn't make a fuss, and obediently stood in front of the Zhaoyang Hall with her basket in her hand, but she was obviously waiting with joy, why did she see this scene.

Who is the child in the emperor's arms!

And who is the person who is following behind the emperor and is now being held by the emperor?How can she wear bright red and gold.

Her heart was icy cold, she just felt that she was going to faint from the speculation in her head.She could only hold her palm tightly to keep herself awake.

"Your Majesty, which minister's child is this?"

With pale lips, she wanted to ask for an affirmative answer, but she didn't know that Zhao Qingze looked at her even more disgusted by her appearance.

Zhao Qingze didn't answer, he held Ruyi's hand and seemed to be going back to the hall.

Chen Yuanxiang stood there in a daze, but suddenly ran towards Zhao Qingze like crazy.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" she screamed as she ran, "How could you do this to me! How could you do this to me!"

Seeing Chen Yuanxiang's actions, the guards on the side quickly set up their knives to stop Zhao Qingze, but Chen Yuanxiang seemed crazy. Even if she was stopped, she still looked at Ruyi, and shouted at Zhao Qingze: "Your Majesty, You don't want to make me queen, do you want to make this bitch!"

At this moment, all her rationality was lost, and she only satirically played back the previous attitude of Zhao Qingze towards her in her mind.He said she was not worthy of being a queen, he was holding a child, and he was still holding that woman, his demeanor was unprecedentedly gentle...

"madman!"

Zhao Qingze snorted coldly. Seeing that the Aman he was holding in his hand seemed to be choked up by the shout and the scene, as if he was about to cry, he quickly put Aman in Ruyi's hands, and told the guards below: "Take her back to the East Palace and take good care of her! From now on, don't let her approach this Zhaoyang Palace."

Chen Yuanxiang struggled, still shouting.But the guards on the side didn't dare to really use their strength, and they really couldn't subdue Chen Yuanxiang for a while.

The disgusted expression on Zhao Qingze's face deepened, and he yelled at the guards sharply: "Shut up and take her away! You can't even catch a weak girl, what's the use of raising you bastards!"

Hearing the words, the guards trembled in their hearts, fearing that he would really become a worthless guy in the emperor's mouth, but they did not dare to show mercy. It was almost as soon as Zhao Qingze's words fell, and Chen Yuanxiang was dragged out.

Zhao Qingze turned his head, wanting to go back with Ruyi, but saw Ruyi staring blankly at the place where Chen Yuanxiang had just stood.

"Ruyi, what's the matter?"

The expression on Ruyi's face seemed to be frightened, but she shook her head and said, "It's okay."

"Don't worry." Zhao Qingze stepped forward to comfort Ruyi and patted Ruyi on the back, "I was negligent in the first place. These things will not bother you in the future."

Ruyi hugged Aman and nodded, but she felt a little worried in her heart.

Although Zhao Qingze's attitude towards Chen Yuanxiang made her feel sorry for her, but she was not a kind person. On the contrary, she was very selfish. The colder Zhao Qingze was towards Chen Yuanxiang, the better for her and Aman.At least she doesn't have to worry that Zhao Qingze will take her child away from his wife Gu Nian.

However, now that Chen Yuanxiang saw Aman, would he have any ideas about Aman?
Although she knew that she and Aman would show up sooner or later, but at this moment, she still couldn't help being a little terrified.

"Your Majesty, if Aman is seen, will he..."

She couldn't help but look at Zhao Qingze out loud.

Zhao Qingze touched Aman's small face, and smiled at Ruyi: "I said before, I will protect you and Aman, and Aman only recognizes you as a mother, don't you believe me?"

"letter."

Ruyi nodded, she could only trust him!
Perhaps because of the daytime events, Ruyi slept on the bed for a long time without a trace of drowsiness, but she just lay there, thinking about things with her eyes closed.

Zhao Qingze also didn't sleep, Ruyi slept next to him, and could feel his unsteady breathing.

When Ruyi hesitated whether to speak, Zhao Qingze suddenly sat up, got up and got out of bed.

"Qing Ze..."

Ruyi opened her eyes and sat up too, looking at Zhao Qingze who got up and put on his clothes with surprise on his face.

"It's so late, where are you going?"

"Woke you up!"

Zhao Qingze didn't stop the movement of his hands, and answered irrelevant questions.

"No." Ruyi shook her head, and asked again: "Is there anything unfinished for getting up so late?"

Zhao Qingze just smiled, but there was a strange look of excitement on his face.

"Go to bed first, I may not come back at night."

As soon as Zhao Qingze finished getting dressed, he couldn't wait to go out, and he didn't see Ruyi's face that had become stiff.

It's really not wishful to think too much, it's just that it's so late, Zhao Qingze has to go out, and he can't say it back, it's hard for her not to think of him in the Sangong Sixth Courtyard of the East Palace, and there is another person with outstanding appearance who has always been favored by Zhao Qingze Ye Liangdi.

She smiled wryly and lay back on the bed again. It was even more difficult to fall asleep at this time. Although she knew that Zhao Qingze, as the emperor now, could not live by her alone, but during this time, he was too kind to her. She has already forgotten these things.When it really happened, she still felt uncomfortable and got up from her bed in the middle of the night.

Ruyi kept her eyes open and stayed in bed all night without closing her eyes. When Shaoyao helped her get up the next day, she looked at her haggard face in the mirror and sighed silently.

"Madam didn't seem to have a good rest last night, and her face was a bit haggard. Let me put some makeup on Madam!"

Ruyi nodded.

Shao Yao took a brand new box of unopened powder, and after opening it, she gently painted on Ruyi's face. Ruyi stared blankly at Shao Yao holding the powder in her hand, but her mind was a little wandering and she was making calculations. How long has it been since I used this powder.With a plain face all day long, no wonder Zhao Qingze got tired of it.

As she was thinking sadly, Nanny Cao walked to her side with Aman in her arms. Ruyi turned her head to look, and saw Aman stretching out her little hand towards her, with a blushing, white and tender face. He opened his mouth innocently and smiled with crooked eyebrows.

I don't know if there is saliva left in my mouth.

Ruyi picked up her handkerchief with a smile, wiped the drool from the corner of Aman's mouth, and reached out to take Aman from Nanny Cao.Feeling Aman's small and soft body, she suddenly felt a little ridiculous for her sad Qiuyue just now.

She can be regarded as mediocre!
After she figured it out, Ruyi's mood improved a lot. She looked at Aunt Cao and said, "Why doesn't Auntie sleep more and take care of Aman so early?"

Grandma Cao looked at Aman with a smile, and replied: "I'm getting older and feel less sleepy, so I might as well go and see the little prince more often. I'm also happy to see that the little prince is healthy and healthy."

After saying this, Grandma Cao seemed to have thought of something, and said to Ruyi: "You young people must take care of your health, and you must not lack sleep. I see that His Majesty stayed in the study last night, and went to bed again this morning without closing his eyes. In the early morning, I don't know if my body will survive, you should persuade me more."

"The emperor was in the study last night?"

Ruyi looked up at Nanny Cao in surprise.

Nanny Cao nodded, and asked strangely: "How could you not know? Doesn't the emperor always sleep in this palace?"

"I knew that the emperor went out last night. He only said that he had something to do. He didn't tell me what happened or where he went..." Ruyi thought for a while and said, "I'll ask the kitchen to deliver some health-soothing soup later." Come."

"You just take care of it!"

Grandma Cao didn't say much, she still had a sense of propriety after all, now that everyone's identities are different when they return to the palace, it's better for her to be a slave less about the master's affairs.

Ruyi, on the other hand, fell into deep thought, what was the urgent matter that made Zhao Qingze busy in the study all night.

What if it's urgent?Ruyi thought about it, but she denied it. Zhao Qingze was very excited last night, as if something good happened.

Ruyi didn't know what Zhao Qingze was doing last night until the morning court was over.

It's not that she deliberately inquired about the previous court's affairs, but that he issued eight criminal edicts in succession, which almost shocked the court and the public, and it is estimated that it has spread all over the palace and outside the palace.

The eight criminal edicts almost wiped out all his adult brothers and aides at present, and each of the criminal edicts is justified, and the crimes above each criminal edict are enough to make people exterminate nine clans.Of course, the masterminds are all the royal family, so it is impossible to really punish the nine clans.

In the end, the punishment that Zhao Qingze personally drafted surprised the courtiers, it was too light!

Except for Prince Rong who was imprisoned, the rest were only deprived of the title of Prince and demoted to Marquis.As for the punishment of Prince Rong being imprisoned, Zhao Qingze explained that Prince Rong was unfaithful, righteous and filial, and murdered the Supreme Emperor.

Well, although standing on the court most people clearly understand in their hearts how the Supreme Emperor changed from the emperor to the Supreme Emperor, and the Supreme Emperor now seems to be insane whether it is the work of the current Holy Majesty or the persecution of Prince Rong.But it doesn't prevent them from kneeling down and praising today's sage for being pure, filial, benevolent and open-minded.

After all, in the eyes of the common people in the world, the current Holy Majesty ascended to the throne only after he had cleared his grievances and justified the imperial decree of the Supreme Emperor.

Zhao Qingze returned to the dormitory, Ruyi waited on him to finish the nourishing and calming soup brought by the kitchen, seeing the black and blue under his eyes, he pulled him to let him rest.

However, Zhao Qingze's mood at this time seemed to be very excited.At least, let him sleep now, he will never fall asleep.

He and Ruyi talked for a while.

"Ruyi, do you know why I didn't ban them?"

"why?"

Ruyi yawned slightly, but answered the question out of face.

"Those emperors are too stupid and easy to control. They don't need to be confined at all. It's better to let them out, use waste, do things for me, and kneel down to me every day. I'm afraid it's the best torture for them."

Ruyi nodded slightly, only feeling that her eyelids were fighting, she suppressed the drowsiness, and asked in a daze: "Then why did you want to imprison Prince Rong?"

Zhao Qingze didn't answer, and Ruyi didn't care, she was about to fall asleep.

While drowsy, she only heard in a daze: "Just let him taste what I have experienced!"

After Zhao Qingze finished speaking, his expression was a bit confused. He looked down at Ruyi, but saw that she was already asleep.

There was still a tinge of excitement in his heart, seeing Ruyi like this, a faint smile floated on the corner of his mouth, and he pulled the quilt to Ruyi, but his eyes were open, without a trace of sleepiness.
