The imperial concubine stood in the courtyard, looking at the dark courtyard door. There was no one else there. "For the first time in more than ten years, the emperor stepped into my courtyard late at night, just for other women."
Beside her were the kneeling nuns and palace maids. The emperor ordered them to kneel here and they dared not disobey.
The imperial concubine turned her head and smiled at the palace man, "Oh, no, the emperor came to my courtyard because of his woman and punished my people."
The imperial concubine helped up the nanny on the ground, "Even if he blames me, he won't step into my door for fear of getting his feet dirty."
The imperial concubine was brought up by her mother-in-law. She followed her into the palace. Seeing her sad expression, she couldn't bear to say, "This is not your fault."
"Yes, but who will understand me?"
"Of course, you also have His Highness Prince Rui."
Thinking of Prince Rui, the imperial concubine regained her composure, and her eyes became unpredictable, "Yes, I still have Prince Rui. After he became enlightened, he did a lot of things to make progress, and he will definitely not let me be wronged again."
That night Tang Yue stayed in the emperor's courtyard. Because the Imperial Ancestral Temple was a place for Qing Dynasty repairs, the two of them lived in different rooms.
In her heart, she regretted that the emperor missed high-quality sleep.
The next day, all the concubines and concubines listened to the sutra lecture together. Hong Yu was always restless and made many mistakes when copying the sutra. This was unusual for a demon cultivator who transformed into a demon.
Tang Yue found an opportunity and asked her secretly, "Sister Hong, what's wrong with you?"
Hong Yu glanced at her secretly, "I have something to do in the next few days. Don't be too surprised when the time comes. King Rui has arranged it for us."
Instead of feeling relieved, Tang Yue became more worried and asked quickly: "What has he arranged?"
"You will know when the time comes. King Rui said that telling you in advance would be easy to expose, so I won't say anything anymore."
Only a simple Kureha would believe this, but when she decides on something, she will not change her decision.
Zangxian took advantage of this to prevent Tang Yue from knowing about this matter and thus had no way to intervene.
She could only pay more attention to Hong Yu's things. She didn't find anything unusual, but Hong Yu and Bai Musi met more and more frequently. The two slowly entered a state of passionate love, exuding the pink color of love.
Colorful breath.
Kureha was just like how she was obsessed with King Duan in the past. She could no longer see anyone except her big brother Bai.
She gradually couldn't find time to chat with Tang Yue, and she even lost interest in maintaining her persona in front of the palace people.
She passed by the queen several times, but she left quickly without saluting. The emperor politely reminded her to respect the queen when he saw her.
The concubine only stayed in the Ancestral Temple for five days before going back. With so many of the emperor's women not being safe outside the palace, that was almost enough.
There were no clues about the witchcraft, but the emperor found out that Zong Yingkong had been acting strangely recently, and the disciples of Qingyang Palace frequently came in and out of the capital.
They seemed to be busy making something, and Taoist priests from top to bottom were buying or grabbing some precious gold, stone, and herbal medicines before sending them to Qingyang Palace. Black smoke was coming out of several rooms inside, and it kept coming for several days.
The emperor has sent people to Qingyang Palace to investigate, hoping to get accurate information before making any plans.
It was a sunny day when the concubine returned to the palace, and the sun was a bit dazzling.
Hong Yu, who had ignored the emperor for many days, used a trick to get the emperor to allow her to ride in the same carriage.
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and she must be going to carry out what she mentioned a few days ago.
Although Tang Yue had no problem beating up King Rui, she couldn't beat Hong Yu, so she could only look at Hong Yu and believe King Rui's words.
If Zangxian really wanted to harm Hongyu, then she would have no choice but to take out her magic weapon again.
The journey from the Ancestral Temple to the capital is very smooth. There is only one point where you have to pass through a hill. Some stones and wood will fall from the mountain. Pedestrians need to pay more attention here.
The emperor's guards checked carefully and repeatedly confirmed that there were no dangerous objects above before allowing the convoy to continue moving forward.
But whatever worries come true, just when the emperor's chariot was about to leave the place, a strange noise came from above, and then a burst of rolling stones rolled down the hillside, heading towards the royal procession.
The largest number of boulders rolled down towards the emperor's carriage. Tang Yue wanted to rush over there, but was held back. When he looked back, he saw that it was King Rui.
He chuckled and said, "What are you going to do? Do you want to get credit for rescuing the driver?"
"You conspired with Zong Yingkong?" Otherwise, why would he suddenly attack Hong Yu?
"You said that cooperating with Zong Yingkong is like seeking skin from a tiger, and I think so too."
"Then why did you want to harm Sister Hong?"
"Of course it's because of you."
Tang Yue was so surprised that he suddenly expressed such hatred at this time, "I don't think I did anything serious to you, right?"
"Isn't your betrayal of me enough?" King Rui was very dissatisfied, as if you had been angry for half a month, but the other party didn't even know about it.
"Where did I betray you?"
"If you don't put me in your heart and don't put me first in everything, it is a kind of betrayal, which is reflected in your words, deeds and behavior. In the future, you will definitely fight me for other things."
Tang Yue thought what he said was quite reasonable, "Then you can't treat me as a partner instead of a subordinate?"
"I am not so magnanimous that I can accept my former subordinates stepping on me and climbing on top of me. Don't forget who sent you to the palace and who forged your identity as the granddaughter of a Confucian scholar."
When she wanted to say more, she heard someone shouting over there, "The Red Concubine is trapped in a pile of rocks, please save her quickly."
When King Rui heard that the matter over there was settled, he let go and said, "Go and see her for the last time."
Tang Yue didn't believe that something would happen to Hongyu because of a rockfall, so he glared at King Rui and ran to the rockfall ahead.
The scene in front of me was unbelievable. A group of soldiers and palace officials moved away the boulder. The emperor knelt on the ground, with Hong Yu in his arms. "Hong Fei, I never thought that you were so deeply in love with me that you could risk your life to save me among the rocks."
.”
The woman in scarlet clothes in his arms said weakly: "Your Majesty, you are a wise monarch and the protector of the Great Shang Dynasty. How can I let anything happen to you? Hongyu is just an insignificant woman among the people. She can use her body for you.
It is my honor to block the temporary danger."
Tang Yue shuddered after hearing this. Sister Hong really imitated her, and she could say such disgusting words casually.
There were no traces of the use of demonic power around, and Kureha showed no signs of life failure, so it could only be explained that she was acting.
It turns out that King Rui’s plan is to let Hongyu escape, so why avoid her?
"Your Majesty, you have to take care of yourself after I leave. There are so many beauties in the palace. I believe you will forget me soon."
"How could I forget you? You loved me with your life, and I will miss you all my life. Do you have a family?"
"I have an older brother, and he doesn't know that I entered the palace and became a concubine. Please help me inform him and tell him about me."
"Okay, I will send someone to find your brother."
Hong Yu "died" in the emperor's arms. The emperor was grief-stricken and cried holding her body. The queen comforted him, "Your Majesty, please put your sister down. Let's go to Beijing as soon as possible to prevent our sister's body from rotting."
"
The emperor knew that the queen was right, and he could not let the red concubine's body lie on the road. So he specially dispatched a carriage and asked the guards to rush back to the capital.
He whispered to the leader of his secret guard, and that man went down to look for other subordinates. The emperor probably ordered him to investigate the matter.
Hey, it's not easy to be an emperor. Everyone around him has their own reasons to attack him.
King Rui stood behind her and whispered, "There is no sadness on your face. It seems that your sisterly love is nothing more than this."
Tang Yue rolled her eyes at him, "I have a way of knowing that Sister Hong is fine."
King Rui was curious, could immortal magic really be so magical? This scene was so real that he wanted to personally confirm whether Hong Yu really died among the rocks.
But Gu Hanqin was so sure that her good sister was not dead.
