In the early morning, when the emperor's father-in-law came to announce the decree, Wang Yuhuan was completely stunned when he heard that the decree said that she should go to the temple to rest.
The whole person was helped onto the carriage in a daze, and then he began to think, struggling to get off the carriage, "I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor."
In addition to Qiu Ju, there were two other palace ladies in the carriage. They seemed to have received the order and gently stepped forward to hold Wang Yuhuan down. They respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, it is better not to make things difficult for the servants. The emperor's decree states
It is very clear that the noble man should go to the temple to rest, and when the noble man is well, the emperor will naturally take the noble man back. The noble man is always gentle and skillful in his daily life, and he will definitely not do anything to disobey the decree and not think about himself. The noble man should also
Think about your family, your parents are old, so you must not worry about your family anymore."
With persuasion and threats, Wang Yuhuan calmed down. How could these palace people dare to treat her like this in the past? Why don't they take her seriously now that she is not in power?
Qiu Ju didn't dare to speak out. Even the palace people dared to speak to their master like this. What's more, she was a servant and could only retract herself into the carriage, and she didn't dare to breathe.
After leaving the palace, the carriage started to jolt. Sitting in the carriage, I couldn't see the scenery outside, but I could feel the carriage slowing down and finally stopping.
"Who is in this carriage?" It was Li Jie's voice outside.
As if seeing a savior, Wang Yuhuan suddenly opened the door of the carriage and shouted, "Your Majesty, save me."
It was too late for the two palace men to pull the man back. Li Jie, who was riding on the horse in front, was also alarmed. He stared coldly at the carriage and his hands unconsciously tightened the reins.
"What's going on?" Seeing the carriage door being closed and Yuhuan being forcibly pulled in, Li Jie almost couldn't help but rush forward.
A chamberlain came forward and replied, "It is the emperor's decree to return to the prince. His health has been poor, so he was sent to the temple to rest."
Li Jie's face was already extremely dark. "Send him to a temple to rest?"
The waiter didn't dare to answer the call and stood aside respectfully.
Li Jie saddled his horse and arrived at the carriage, "You all come down, I have something to say to your noble lord."
The maid inside did not move, and the chamberlain who had replied before ran forward again, with a look of embarrassment on her face, "Your Majesty, this is outside, I'm afraid something might be wrong. Your Majesty, just treat it as a noble king, and let the minions go."
"What? My words don't work, or do you not regard me as your master?" Li Jie raised the whip in his hand, "You despicable thing, if you dare to refute my words, I will kill you now.
"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life." The servant did not dare to hide after being beaten, and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
There was such a big commotion, and there was a noise in the carriage. It was Wang Yuhuan who was struggling. When Qiu Ju saw the prince coming, she also stepped forward to help her master.
After getting free, Wang Yuhuan knocked open the carriage door and said, "Your Majesty, help me."
With tears on his face, Li Jie felt extremely distressed when he had seen his beloved woman like this. He whipped the chambermaid several times, then lowered his body and picked up Wang Yuhuan's waist and carried her to the horse.
Wang Yuhuan hugged him tightly, "The emperor is cruel. Now I can only rely on the prince. Please save me, prince. I won't save others, as long as I can have a peaceful place to live."
Concern leads to confusion. After hearing this, Li Jie did not feel the contradiction in Wang Yuhuan's words, but felt heartbroken. At this time, the two maids in the carriage got off the carriage and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please hand over Your Majesty to your servants. Your Majesty keeps saying that you want to find a safe place. The temple is in a good place, but why do you need Your Majesty's protection? Your Majesty is the Emperor's woman. Please pay attention to your etiquette."
"The palace maid's words were sonorous and powerful, without any hint of fear.
Li Jie raised the whip in his hand and hit him, but the palace man stood up forcefully and didn't say a word. The atmosphere was very strange.
There were obviously many people present, but apart from the muffled sound of Li Jie's whip hitting his flesh and the sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground, it was so quiet that even Li Jie's panting could be heard.
Wang Yuhuan hugged Li Jie tightly, knowing that if she let go at this moment, she would really be alone in the temple for the rest of her life. Now that the emperor no longer wanted her, she could only hold Li Jie.
Speaking of which, Wang Yuhuan is very smart. She knows that even if she is the emperor's concubine, she and Li Jie cannot be together, but she believes that with Li Jie's ability, as long as he wants her, they can be together.
Today, Wang Yurong rushed out of the carriage, knowing that there was no turning back. She would never be able to return to the palace, and it would be impossible for her to reunite with the emperor.
She had chosen Li Jie with all her might, and she would never waver in the slightest.
"Ah Jie, let me go. I will go back to the temple with them. You don't have to embarrass them because of me." Wang Yuhuan took a deep breath before speaking softly, choking while pushing to leave Li Jie's arms.
On the contrary, when she did this, Li Jie held her a little tighter. The expression on his face was unpredictable, but his voice was unquestionable, "You don't have to worry, I have everything under control."
The word "Ah Jie" made Li Jie stop caring about everything.
"You go back and bring a message to the emperor, saying that I will come over and plead guilty." Li Jie pulled off his cloak and wrapped it around Wang Yuhuan, then turned around and left.
Leaving a group of palace people behind, they watched Li Jie in a daze as he rode away.
The chamberlain got up from the ground, with a stern look on his face, "Go back to the palace."
This matter must be reported to the emperor immediately. If the incident spreads, the reputation of the royal family will be ruined, and the slaves who followed them will not end well.
Li Jie carried Wang Yuhuan directly back to the palace, jumped off his horse and carried the man directly into the Zhuge Courtyard. This move alarmed the entire palace in less than half a stick of incense.
After hearing this, Nanny Wei frowned and said, "I had expected such a day for a long time. What a sin."
Grandma Wei knew a little bit about why the prince wanted to move out of the palace in a hurry, and why he wanted to marry Wang Yurong, a woman with a bad reputation.
Now I heard that the prince carried the noble lady back to his courtyard, regardless of the eyes of everyone along the way, and the guesses in his heart have now been confirmed.
It is no small matter that two brothers like the same woman, and one of them is the emperor.
Nanny Wei stamped her feet and got off the couch, "Let's go to the Zhuge Courtyard."
Such a big thing happened in the palace, and Meiyuan had already received the news. Wei Meilin also dropped the porridge bowl in his hand, with a look of horror on his face.
"How could this happen?" Her eyes suddenly widened, and she said with a half-smile, "I see, that's it."
I felt something was wrong at first, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. The prince had hated Wang Yurong so much that he didn't even bother to look at her, so he married such a person into the palace again.
Now everything can be explained clearly. The drunkard's intention is not wine. It turns out that the prince did so many things because of his sister Wang Yuhuan.
Wei Meilin raised her hand and wiped it on her face, which turned out to be tears. She smiled bitterly. She should be happy. Wang Yurong didn't get it. She didn't lose, right?
In the bamboo pavilion courtyard, after Nanny Wei arrived, Li Jie helped her sit up with some guilt, "Why are you here, Nanny? If you need anything, just let me know. It's cold and slippery today, Nanny.
Just take care of yourself."
After sitting down, Aunt Wei held Li Jie's hand without letting go. She said earnestly, "Your Majesty, I have watched you grow up. You must not do stupid things. You and the current emperor are brothers."
, don’t hurt the harmony between brothers because of a woman.”
Li Jie was extremely embarrassed, "Mommy, don't worry, I understand."
Ji Qing had already seen that something was wrong, so he retreated all the servants in the room. Except for Wang Yuhuan who was lying in the room, no one could hear the conversation between the two.
"Okay, it's good that the prince understands in his heart, and this minister can rest assured. It's not suitable for the noble Wang to come to the house and live in the prince's yard. I think it's better to live in Fujin's yard." Aunt Wei is smart.
Say more, but bring out what needs attention at hand, "Your Majesty Wang has a high status, but you can't mess with the etiquette. If word spreads about it, it will not be good for Your Majesty Wang's reputation."
Aunt Wei held Li Jie's hand tightly and refused to let go. It wasn't until Li Jie nodded that she smiled and said, "Then I will ask someone to send Mr. Wang there now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yuhuan walked out of the inner room.
The figure was swaying, and she was approaching gracefully. Aunt Wei frowned a little more after looking at it, but she stood up and saw the gift first, "I have seen this noble man."
Li Jie stretched out his hand to help her in panic, but Granny Wei did not get up. She added, "The noble lady is the emperor's concubine. It is the etiquette for slaves to show courtesy. The prince must not mess up the etiquette because of slaves."
Wang Yuhuan's face turned green and red at these words, but it was difficult to refute anything. He only looked at Li Jie with affection. One was a nanny like a biological mother, and the other was a beloved woman. Li Jie was in a dilemma.
Finally, he couldn't bear the pitiful look of his beloved woman, so he lowered his body and helped up Nanny Wei with all his strength, "Mommy, I have said before that you don't need to give a big salute, no matter who it is."
Mother Wei said that the rules should not be violated, while continuing what she had just said, "Now that the noble man has come out, who does the prince want to send the noble man to Fujin's yard?"
Wang Yuhuan took the lead this time and showed his thoughtfulness, "I didn't think too much about it. Fortunately, my grandma reminded me that the prince just asked Ji Qing to send me there."
On weekdays, Li Jie usually brings Ji Qing with him when he enters the house, and Wang Yuhuan and Ji Qing are also known to each other.
Li Jie glanced at her with distress and guilt, and said softly, "I'll take you there."
Aunt Wei could see clearly from the sidelines that she was not rushing forward after all. Everything had to be done step by step. Moreover, this lady Wang seemed to be a calculating person, not an ordinary woman.
When going out, Wang Yuhuan showed her gentle side to the fullest, "Thank you for your advice today, mama."
Aunt Wei said respectfully, "This is what a slave should do."
However, Li Jie felt more and more that he had wronged his beloved woman and could not do whatever he wanted in his house. But after all, grandma was like his biological mother. She understood every word and could not refute it.
