Chapter 441 This is Concubine Rou

Shangguan Ruoli went directly to the harem and arrived at Concubine Yun's palace.

The courtyard was quiet, there was no wailing and crying as expected, and the atmosphere was oppressive and dull.

Many concubines who came to see the young prince off had already gathered in the palace. The Crown Princess Shangguan Ruoxian and the Crown Prince's side concubine Xu Jingxuan also came.

Everyone was slightly startled when they saw Shangguan Ruoli.

It's not that I was surprised by her arrival, but she didn't look like she had just recovered from a serious illness. She was so radiant and energetic.

Shangguan Ruoli didn't care about this and directly saluted the queen who was sitting on the high throne: "My wife has met my mother."

A flash of murderous intent flashed in the queen's eyes, but she could only endure it and said calmly: "Get back on your feet."

"I heard that Princess Xuan has recovered from her illness. What a coincidence. Your illness just happened and Prince Xuan returned to Beijing." A beautiful woman whose age could not be discerned said softly.

Shangguan Ruoli knew that this was Concubine Rou, the mother-in-law of King Qin. Both her appearance and voice echoed her title: Rou.

She was so small, delicate, and boneless. Looking at her back, one would have thought she was an underage girl. I really don’t know how she gave birth to King Qin’s burly and muscular son.

He said calmly: "This is all thanks to my mother. If my mother hadn't taken me to the palace for recuperation and sent a highly skilled doctor to treat me, otherwise I might have gone to hell now."

Seeing that she called herself "I" and showed no respect for her, Imperial Concubine Rou couldn't help but her eyes darkened slightly, and then she smiled and said: "The Queen really feels sorry for Princess Xuan."

The Queen felt worse than if she had eaten a fly and couldn't spit it out. She said coldly: "The Eleventh Prince has not yet been buried, and you are laughing here. What you know is that the noble concubine is exchanging greetings with Princess Xuan. What you don't know is that you are gloating about your misfortune."

Concubine Rou immediately put away her smile and pursed her lips in silence.

She was the woman with the highest status in the palace besides the queen. She guarded so many concubines and was scolded by the queen. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she turned red like a cooked shrimp.

Her son was in a distant fiefdom before, but when he came back this time, he must win the battle and make her feel proud in front of these women.

Concubine De said: "Empress, it's better to find a way for Concubine Yun to put the eleventh prince into the coffin."

The queen rubbed her brows and said to the palace maid: "Please come out, Concubine Yun."

The palace maid agreed and went to the inner hall.

After a while, Concubine Yun came out holding a child wearing a royal blue brocade robe.

The child's little hands hung down helplessly, and the appearance was gone.

Concubine Yun's face was pale, but she was smiling. She held the child in her arms and saluted the queen: "I pay my respects to the queen!"

The queen frowned even more tightly and said, "Fei Yun, the eleventh prince has passed away. Please let him go and let him rest in peace and be reincarnated as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Concubine Yun blinked in confusion, glanced lovingly at the eleventh prince in her arms, glared at the queen fiercely and said: "Queen, even if you can't understand the emperor doting on me, you can't curse me.

My concubine’s royal son!”

Her voice was very shrill and sinister.

But suddenly I remembered something, and immediately changed my smile to a gentle one, and kissed the tenth prince's little face. His face was filled with the brilliance of maternal love, "My concubine's prince is fine. He just fell asleep. He just returned the favor to me."

My concubine is singing, and he wakes up in a short while. He can run, jump, and be naughty..."

Her expression was obviously very happy, but it made people feel miserable and strange.

Everyone present was moved, and many people started wiping away tears.

Even though Shangguan Ruoli was ruthless and cold-blooded, he couldn't help but feel hot in his eyes and feel uncomfortable in his heart.

The most painful thing in the world is when a mother loses her child, let alone such a young child.

Shangguan Ruoli hates and despises the people behind the scenes. He actually attacks an innocent child. He is simply mentally dark and inhumane!

Everyone began to persuade and coax her, but Concubine Yun refused to be fooled.

Seeing that Concubine Yun was holding the child tightly and not letting go, the queen was also impatient. She said to the maid beside Concubine Yun who was wiping her tears: "You guys think of a way. If this continues, the eleventh prince will have some taste..."

Although it is already autumn, the weather is still very hot and the body will rot quickly.

In the end, Concubine Yun's personal maid understood her, wiped her tears, and coaxed: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has sent word that he will come to see you later. You'd better put the little prince down and go dress up and pick him up!"

The wet nurse also said tremblingly: "Yes, the little prince is asleep, let him sleep on the bed. When the emperor sees it, he will blame you for doting on the little prince too much."

Concubine Yun didn't speak, her expression was dull for a moment, and then she rolled her eyes, as if she was thinking hard. She felt something was wrong, as if she had forgotten something very important, but couldn't remember it.

"Mother, the emperor is coming, please give the little prince to your servant!" The wet nurse directly reached out to hug the eleventh prince and tried to take him from Concubine Yun's arms.

Concubine Yun looked a little hesitant and loosened her hands a little.

The palace maid hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, let me help you dress up. You always want to see the emperor beautifully."

Concubine Yun loosened her hand a little more, but her brows were furrowed tightly, still hesitating.

Seeing this, the wet nurse used a little force to take the Eleventh Prince out of Concubine Yun's arms, turned around and walked quickly towards the side hall where the Eleventh Prince lived.

Concubine Yun sat there on her knees with her hands still holding the child, staring blankly in the direction where the nanny disappeared.

The queen gave Concubine Yun's maid a wink, and the maid helped Concubine Yun up and coaxed Concubine Yun to go back to the inner hall to freshen up.

Concubine Yun seemed to have lost her soul, her eyes were dull, and she did not bow to the queen, noble concubine and other high-ranking concubines, but walked towards the inner hall step by step like a puppet.

Shangguan Ruoli knew that Concubine Yun suffered a mental disorder after suffering a huge mental loss. She subconsciously knew that the Eleventh Prince was gone, but she just forced herself to forget the heartbreaking fact.

The queen asked people from the House of Internal Affairs to quickly bring the small coffin in. The wet nurse and several palace maids did not dare to cry loudly. They quickly put the eleventh prince into a small shroud and then put the eleventh prince into the small coffin.

The eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs quickly closed the coffin, put the nails on the coffin, and then carried the small coffin away.

The whole process was like committing a thief, and I was afraid that Concubine Yun inside was alarmed.

After the matter was settled, the queen let everyone disperse and took the lead with a group of maids and eunuchs.

Then came Concubine Rou. When she passed by Shangguan Ruoli, she looked at her with deep meaning.

Damn it! Shangguan Ruoli cursed secretly, look at your grandma!

Concubine De stood up and said to the people in Concubine Yun's palace: "I suggest that you quickly prepare a puppet the size of the eleventh prince and wear the clothes of the eleventh prince. If Concubine Yun gets into trouble, you can calm her down. It might work.

"

Concubine Shu also said: "Let the imperial doctor prescribe some soothing soup first."

Then the two walked away without even looking at Shangguan Ruoli.

Logically speaking, Concubine De and Concubine Shu were the closest people to her in the palace, but perhaps to avoid suspicion, they did not express anything to her.

Shangguan Ruoli turned around and went out, but was stopped by someone.
