The Legend of Imperial Concubine Rong

Rong'er thought to himself: Actually, I understand Xuande. Xiu Ping is just like Xiao Qing is to me, if Xiao Qing encounters the same thing, I will also suffer greatly … However … What about the palace rules? What about morality? Where are these things going? I really feel a great deal of pain...

Just as they finished their breakfast, Yanxi Palace's gatekeeper, Yun'er, reported to Imperial Concubine De for an audience. Honestly speaking, Xuande's arrival was not out of his expectations, but in this matter, did Xuande completely leave things alone? She wasn't sure, but after ten years of being together with Xuande, it was hard for her to believe that Xuande was behind this. After all, she knew Xuande, and she had a strong aura about her.

Xuande was dressed in a simple qipao with a blue shawl draped over her shoulders. Her close palace maid Xiu Ping did not come along with her and she left her fellow palace maid by the door. She entered Rong'er's warm door and said in a low voice: "Elder Sister Rong, Xuande has something to tell you."

Rong'er smiled, and indicated for all the palace maid s in the palace to withdraw. Xiao Qing looked at Rong'er worriedly, but did not move.

"Sister, sit down and talk." Rong'er stepped aside, taking the initiative to sit on the other side of the brick bed.

Xuanfei did not hesitate as she slowly walked to the other side of the brick bed and sat down.

Rong'er looked at Xuande, but didn't say anything. She really wanted to know just how much Xuande knew.

Xuande looked at Rong'er for a while before sighing faintly. Finally, she asked, "Elder Sister Rong, do you have anything you want to ask me?"

"Yes." "But I want you to tell me on your own accord."

Xuande raised her head to look at Rong'er, "If I were to say that I really don't know the slightest bit about what Xiu Ping has done, would big sister believe me?"

Rong'er stared at Xuande, and Xuande didn't move away from him. After a long while, she smiled and nodded: "Your eyes tell me that you didn't lie to me, I believe you."

Rong'er let out a light breath. "I'm relieved that you didn't participate!"

Xuande shook her head, and asked bitterly: "Big sister, how should we deal with this matter?"

"As the empress dowager's oldest concubine, how could I lead the way and break the palace rules? Xiu Ping should receive the punishment she deserves!" Rong'er didn't hesitate.

"Then what about Xinyu?" Imperial Concubine De looked at Rong'er in a daze.

Rong'er raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling slightly angry in his heart, he said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Ruo Lan died to save Yin Zuo, but you guys …"

"Sister, don't say anymore!" Xuan De suddenly interrupted Rong'er, and spoke with sorrow, "I can speak of Xinyu, but I just want to ask Big Sis to give Xiu Ping a chance at survival. Big Sis, am I, Wu Yaxuan, the kind of person who doesn't know whether it's good or bad?" Xuan De muttered: "Actually, Xiu Ping didn't know that Xinyu was Ruo Lan's little sister from the beginning, she was wrong. She told me everything yesterday, and I knew that she did it for my own good. Xuan De raised his head to look at Rong'er, and Xiao Rong said a little miserably: "Actually, Xiu Ping guessed right. Back in Jiangnan, I didn't like Yuan Yiren at all …"

Rong'er sighed lightly. No one was born bad …

Xuande smiled bitterly, "Elder sister, don't worry, Xiu Ping will not mention a word about Xinyu. All of the sins will be borne by Xiu Ping and me."

"You?" Rong'er was shocked as he looked at Imperial Concubine De. His face was filled with despair.

Xuande's eyes reddened slightly, "Elder sister, we all know that not everyone in the palace treats you very well. has accompanied me around the palace for many days and nights;

"Xuande, you can't be thinking of doing something stupid, right?" Rong'er felt his heart tighten as he hurriedly asked.

"Elder Sister Rong, what would you do if one day Xiao Qing accidentally did something stupid and was facing death to make you happy?" Xuande bitterly asked.

Rong'er was startled, she had only thought that Xiao Qing leaving her would cause great pain. Yes, there is one person in the palace who was the hardest to deal with, and you have no secrets from her, so this is absolute trust … " Trust "is the most precious and rare emotion in this palace.

Seeing Rong'er's expression, Xuande softly said: "Elder Sister Rong, I won't let Xiu Ping die alone. I'll share the burden of this death penalty with her."

"Xuande, you …" Rong'er suddenly felt at a loss of what to do, she only wanted Xiu Ping to receive the punishment that she should have received. "She just wants to make sure her conscience is at peace …" Xuande, why are you doing this? "

"Elder sister, for the sake of the word 'friendship', back then you were able to offend the emperor for Jing Zhi, and Xuande was also willing to bear this mortal punishment for Xiu Ping." Xuan German said with despair.

What Xuande said was right, the most difficult thing in the palace was "friendship". Back then, she had never thought of saving Jing Zhi and was afraid of death, so it was understandable that Xuande would do this now. Rong'er lightly stroked her forehead, not saying anything for a long time.

Xuande stood up and said softly, "Elder sister, Xuande doesn't ask elder sister to help Xiu Ping hide this matter. She doesn't ask elder sister to help Xiu Ping get away with his crimes, she only hopes that elder sister can help me die with Xiu Ping. After Xuande finished speaking, without waiting for Rong'er's reply, she turned and left the palace.

After dinner, Rong'er wanted to go out for a walk. Only then did he walk out of the entrance of the main palace he lived in, and saw Xinyu and Yuan Yiren sitting beside a stone table. When saw that Rong'er had come out, he smiled and greeted her.

Rong'er looked at Yuan Yiren's bulging stomach and asked with concern: "Is the baby safe? Is your body feeling comfortable? "

"Thank you, Lord Rong, for your concern. Your concubine's health is quite good, and it's also thanks to Xinyu for taking care of me." Yuan Yiren smiled at Xinyu, who lowered his head in slight embarrassment.

Rong'er knew that Xinyu was making amends to Yi Ren. She looked at Yuan Yiren's smile. She was going to give birth in three months, and if she found out that someone had harmed her, she would definitely be in a bad mood, and would definitely cause great harm to the baby in her womb … Rong'er sighed lightly, bid farewell to Xinyu and told him to lead Xiao Qing to the imperial flower garden …

Inside the Yonghe Palace, Xiu Ping said nervously: "Master, this is too risky, what if the Imperial Concubine Rong really takes this opportunity to send you to your death? "After all, there are only a few people who can become empress after the last seat is vacant. One less means more chances …"

"Stop talking." Xuande reclined on the warm brick bed, her eyes lightly closed, "It's possible for anyone to do this in this palace, only Imperial Concubine Rong is impossible … I think I still understand her … "

Looking at the confident master, Xiu Ping did not speak. That's right, her master was always confident, she would never do something that he was not confident in … This matter might really have happened to her, but Master actually helped her get away with it. Xiu Ping felt that his gratitude towards Xuande had become even heavier.

"In the future, no matter what you do, you have to tell me. It's the same even if it's for my own good …" Imperial Concubine De did not open his eyes as he faintly spat out these words …
