An arrogant concubine fell from the harem

Chapter 456 Harem Women (3)

I asked, "Why did the Queen Mother do this?"

Ruyi said: "Because the Empress Dowager hopes that the emperor will have no heirs, then Prince Jingren, or Prince Jingren's children, can inherit the throne."

Wu Dalang also noticed the queen mother's behavior.

The queen mother had a guilty conscience, and in order to deceive others, she suggested that Wu Dalang marry her niece Pan Jinlian into the palace.It is estimated that the empress dowager's move was to make two-handed preparations. If Wu Erlang, or Wu Erlang's child cannot inherit the throne, then the child born to her niece Pan Jinlian can inherit the throne. Is that a solution? It can barely make up for her Regret in my heart.

I asked Ruyi, "Why do you know these things so clearly?"

It took Ruyi a while to answer me: "Because the emperor is the child of the elder sister of the servant girl. These years, the servant girl has been hiding her identity, silently staying by the emperor's side, and paying attention to the emperor."

Ruyi said again: "The reason why I told these things to Concubine Shu is because I hope that one day, the emperor will know the truth, so that my sister who died unjustly can smile at Jiuquan. It's just that I am getting worse and worse, and I can't last long. I can't wait for this day. I hope that Concubine Shu will tell the emperor on behalf of my servant at the right time."

What is the right time?
It must be waiting for the Queen Mother to return to the west for a hundred years.

Ruyi really can't last long.She died not long after she said these words to me—this is what Ximen Qing told me later.Ximenqing said that after Ruyi died, several eunuchs used a mat and rolled her up.This is the rule of the palace. All court ladies will not be given tombs, but cremated.After the fire, the ashes of the corpses were filled into the dry well.The fate of being a court lady is very tragic.The status of a court lady is low, no matter what death is, there is no dignity at all, in the eyes of those so-called "masters", they are even worse than pigs and dogs.

After I came out from Ruyi's place, I lowered my head, thinking about things while walking.

I thought, the harem has always been a special battlefield where there is no smoke and flames of war—to be precise, it is a battlefield for women.For the sake of his own wealth and the interests of the family, he intrigues, is cruel and ruthless, and has a fishy smell.What is right and what is wrong, true and false, no one can tell clearly.In every dynasty, there are scenes of thrilling and intriguing stories performed by women in the harem with blood and tears.

I was placed in this whirlpool, feeling very sad and helpless.

This is not what I want.
