In the huge palace, Ruan Yuyi stayed on the spot, and the sad and shrill sound from the cold palace seemed to still ring in his ears.
Suddenly, a hand covered her waist and pulled her to the side, and she fell on his lap. She wanted to stand up uneasily, but when she caught a glimpse of his frown, she didn't dare to move anymore.
This was not the first time Prime Minister Li had seen this concubine, but he was still frightened by the intimacy between the two of them. At the same time, he thought of his own daughter and couldn't believe how weird you were.
He lowered his head, suppressed all the messy thoughts, and said, "Now that I heard that my little girl made a big mistake, I am terrified. I know that this is because my father is fulfilling his responsibilities of education, and I am willing to accept the blame."
At the top, where Prime Minister Li couldn't see, Jiang Huaiyang's fingertips landed on her waist, tilted his head slightly and said in her ear, "This matter has something to do with you. Lingling will tell him whether he should be punished or not."
Should it be punished?"
His breath filled the side of Ruan Yuyi's neck, and it turned red.
She pressed his hand and raised her voice, "Li Meiren is the only one who should bear the blame for her fault. What is the fault of the Prime Minister?"
Her original intention was to send Li Meiren to the cold palace, but the direction of things seemed to be increasingly deviating from her original expectations. According to the Dawu legal system, Li Meiren should not stay, but she had never colluded with her mother clan.
She thought that the Li family should not be blamed.
Prime Minister Li's eyes suddenly turned red. But everyone is greedy for life. Although he came to plead guilty voluntarily, there is no one who is not afraid in his heart.
But for his daughter to be so extreme, it is indeed his fault.
At that time, the new emperor came to the throne. In order to please His Majesty, everyone in the court either reported the remaining members of the third prince or thought of sending their daughter to the new emperor. If he hadn't been trying to coax his daughter into the palace, he would have described the grand scene in the palace as heavenly.
There is no underground.
All the luxurious food and clothing were attributed to the word "favorite". Moreover, she was still young, not as good as the eldest sister in the family, and she married the late emperor who was twenty years older than me.
Li Meiren had always been at odds with this eldest sister, so maybe she agreed just to get some steam.
The day after entering the palace, she saw the new emperor coming out of the Qianqing Palace. He was tall and handsome, and he looked like a young man from a noble family. With just one glance, she had almost thought about the rest of her life.
From then on, I was stubborn and suffered from the fact that I rarely had the opportunity to meet people.
His own daughter knew it well. Prime Minister Li naturally didn't want to see something like this happen, but he misjudged how stubborn this daughter was, so he sent a good girl in because he didn't want to end up like this.
He swallowed the sobs in his throat and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, your empress, for being kind and kind. She is really a role model for my Dawu women. But our Li family has always had a strict family tradition. If Miss Li makes such a big mistake, my empress will deal with it. Our Li family will not
Recognize this daughter!"
He didn't want to blame Li Meiren. She had done something wrong and she deserved it. He had used up the last of his friendship, and there was a large family behind him for him to support. Even if he abandoned her, she could no longer blame him.
That’s it?
Ruan Yuyi finally understood. The first sentence was just a foreshadowing, and the last sentence was what she really wanted to say.
Once the relationship is cleared, no matter how serious the matter is, no matter what the crime Li Meiren suffers, the Li family will not be implicated. Going forward, his Li family will still be pure and clean, and the family tradition will be strict.
Poor Li Meiren has always been proud of her family background, but when disaster strikes, even her family members don't want to recognize her.
Somehow, even though she knew that it was understandable that Prime Minister Li would do this for the sake of more people in the Li family, Ruan Yuyi still felt a little depressed.
"Ms. Li is not dead," Jiang Huaiyang said.
He pulled away the hand held by the young lady, put his arms around her waist, and played with the white jade pendant around her waist.
The jade pendant was as cold as snow and not as soft as the young lady's hands.
She was slightly startled, and turned her face slightly, and her next words came to her ears, "The imperial doctor has rescued her." Because the Prime Minister told him today that Li Meiren's crime was unpardonable, and he was willing to share the worries on how to punish her.
.
Sure enough, Prime Minister Li took out a small box from his sleeve.
Wen Zhi brought the thing over, but he didn't take it, but asked her to take it. She had no choice but to stretch out her hand.
The Prime Minister explained below, "This is a strange medicine I have obtained. The person who takes it will have his whole body burned like a fire, and the burning sensation will come in waves." This corresponds to the plan Li Meiren used on her.
Her face turned pale, her hand trembled, and the box fell to the ground. It made a muffled sound when it hit the ground, and it seemed to be deafening when it fell into her ears.
She couldn't believe that a father would be so cruel to his daughter.
He handed it over and took a look, and the box was picked up again and presented in front of her eyes. He whispered, "This time, Lingling must hold it securely."
She hesitated for a moment, then finally took it, feeling as if the medicinal properties had touched her hands, and her palms became burning.
Li Meiren has been infected with madness for a long time. Is this pill really necessary? Maybe the long pain will not be better for her than direct relief.
Jiang Huaiyang knew that she could easily become soft-hearted, so he did not try to force her. He just said, "You can decide for yourself whether to use this medicine or not."
Her hand tightened slightly, and the edge of the wooden box dug into the soft flesh of her palm.
——Does she really have a choice?
Although her heart was tight, she turned around and said with curved lips, "Thank you, Your Majesty." She placed a kiss on his forehead.
He pushed away Prime Minister Li and all the palace officials, and pinched her chin to respond to her.
Late one night, when he went to deal with government affairs, Ruan Yuyi was still sitting empty in the side hall, holding the pill in his hand.
Mu Xiang took the wooden box in her hand and said, "Miss, don't think about it. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
She seemed to have come back to her senses, rubbed her forehead a few times, opened her mouth, and found her voice after a long time, "Go and send this medicine to Li Meiren, and then give it to her when she becomes crazy."
Down."
Mu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes." She didn't care whether the young lady really wanted to follow the new emperor's wishes, but she saw that the young lady looked very worried. She was afraid that she might think too much and cause another headache.
She told herself not to think too much, then undressed and went to bed.
At breakfast the next day, the imperial kitchen brought bijing porridge, some pasta and pickled radish, all for two people.
She didn't like to eat radishes very much, so she didn't even touch them. She only drank white porridge. After half a bowl of porridge was eaten, Jiang Huaiyang happened to have the morning dynasty.
He pushed the door open and walked in, and what he saw was the young lady scooping out spoonfuls of porridge. She seemed to have a bad appetite, but in fact he knew that she was just being polite.
Her bright red lips wrapped around the white jade spoon, covering the small mouthful of porridge on it, and then she pulled out the spoon. The faint fragrance of Bijing porridge spread in her mouth.
His throat tightened slightly, and he walked forward and sat down opposite her.
The young lady didn't know what she had in mind, so she handed the plate of radishes in his direction with a sweet smile, "Your Majesty, I've left this for you."
The sunlight outlined every strand of her hair, giving her hair a slight brown tone.
He withdrew his gaze and hummed softly. It was rare for him to catch up with her to have breakfast together. The two of them sat opposite each other, as if they were no different from an ordinary couple.
Birds are chirping here, and the atmosphere is quite peaceful and harmonious. They are both in the imperial city, but in the cold palace, but it seems like they are in another place, but today, they have welcomed a new guest.
