Chapter 505: The Enemy's Mercy
Chapter 505: The Enemy's Mercy
Ruyi's love for Xiao Shiba makes her seem both depressed and flamboyant.
She would yell at Xiao Shiba anytime and anywhere for anything, and would cry out of guilt because she couldn't help but scold Xiao Shiba.
Although she was not in the cold palace, she really looked like an abandoned concubine who had gone crazy in the cold palace.
When Jinzhong led his men to the gate of Yanxi Palace, he patiently listened to her cursing for a while.
He sounded full of energy, and even though he was cursing and panting, he seemed to be in good spirits.
This shows that although everyone has been treating her coldly and ignoring her over the years, they also give her some stimulation from time to time, and the amount of stimulation is just right.
So today, he chose the right date to stimulate her.
The two eunuchs guarding the gate had already seen him, but they didn't dare to speak suddenly. They waited until he smiled and was about to enter the yard, then they hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Chief Steward!"
Jinzhong stepped over the threshold and came into Ruyi's sight step by step.
Ruyi paused in her scolding: "Why are you here again?!"
Today, she can no longer maintain even the most basic politeness.
Although no one would believe it if she told it to others, she knew that her current predicament was all caused by Wei Yanwan and Jinzhong.
Jinzhong was respectful as always, speaking softly, "I am here to give you a reward."
Ruyi didn't care about his respectfulness at all, she had seen through this bastard a long time ago. No matter how good his attitude was or how pleasant his tone sounded, it was just to show the benefits of his abiding by the rules. When it came to dealing with people, he really beat them to death.
She asked cautiously, "What reward? Whose reward?"
Jinzhong smiled and said, "Look at the way you ask. I am the emperor's servant, so I am here to give you the reward that the emperor has specially given you."
Ruyi's eyes lit up for a moment, then she suppressed her inappropriate expectations with disgust and said stiffly, "What reward?"
Jinzhong smiled respectfully, but looked directly into her face: "The Emperor will punish you with thirty strokes of the cane, and the execution will be carried out on the palace road outside."
Ruyi's eyes widened in disbelief, and she muttered like a madman, "Beat with a stick? In the street? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, must you be so heartless? I have avoided you to this extent, why are you still not willing to let me go?!"
Jinzhong didn't wait for her to finish going crazy this time. As for stimulation, he had to do it step by step. He forced her a little bit now to let Concubine Yao get used to it, otherwise when the fight really started, she wouldn't be able to bear it and get angry to death.
He raised his chin slightly and asked: "Lady Yao, are you going by yourself, or should I ask someone to invite you?"
Ruyi's eyebrows were raised, and for a moment, she was like a bull that had been driven mad: "I want to see the emperor! I can't believe the emperor would humiliate me like this! It must be you! You framed me again, right?!"
Jinzhong sighed with sympathy: "Lady Yao must be having a hard time. Has she gone crazy?"
Ruyi: "... How dare you! You are so dare! Someone, get him out! Get him out now!!!"
Unfortunately, no one in the Yanxi Palace would listen to her.
Ruyi looked at Rong Pei suddenly.
Rong Pei's scalp tingled, but she could only lower her head hastily, not daring to look at her.
The master could never see the situation clearly, but she could see it clearly. Arguing was useless and would only lead to more bullying.
Instead, he accepted the punishment obediently, and only received the punishment specified in the emperor's order.
Now, she and the master are the only ones who are looking after the child in the whole palace, so naturally the lighter the injury, the better. Why doesn't the master understand?
Jinzhong watched the interaction between the master and servant, a meaningful smile flashing across his eyes.
In the entire Yanxi Palace, the only one who is still sincere to Ruyi and willing to listen to her orders is Rong Pei.
But what’s interesting is that Ruyi has been holding it in for so long that she’s almost going crazy, but Rong Pei is the only one in front of her who doesn’t dare to resist her.
No matter how kind a person is, if she stays in a cramped environment for too long, she will develop unexpected malice towards another person who does not resist.
This Yanxi Palace... is really full of interesting dramas...
Jinzhong slightly leaned to the side and said, "No need to delay any longer, Lady Yao. The Emperor feels sorry for you for making Concubine Rong angry. He must be comforting Concubine Rong right now. How can he come to you?"
Ruyi was almost going crazy: "I'm mad at her? How could I be mad at her?! That bitch! She's always looking for trouble with me and telling the emperor about my bad deeds! Why wasn't she a sickly and delicate person in her previous life?! She's obviously targeting me on purpose!"
Jinzhong sighed with pity: "I'm afraid Lady Yao has gone a little crazy."
His dark fox eyes stared at Ruyi, full of warning and a hint of barely perceptible expectation.
Ruyi's whole body froze. She remembered the experience of being forced to torture about her past life, and she dared not say a word.
Without waiting for her to say anything, Jinzhong spoke up, "Noble Lady Yao was very disrespectful to Noble Concubine Rong. I didn't hear it, so I won't say anything. But since I heard it, I can only warn you and will tell the truth to His Majesty later."
He waved his hand with a cold face, and naturally a strong maid came up and carried her out.
Other young eunuchs had already placed a bench and were standing on both sides of the bench with sticks in their hands, waiting for her to lie down on it and then start beating her.
Ruyi finally felt scared: "Wait! I..."
The nanny took the handkerchief and stuffed it into Ruyi's mouth, respectfully explaining, "This is because we're worried that you might bite your tongue and get hurt."
Ruyi's eyes were bloodshot and she struggled desperately, but was still beaten thirty times with a stick.
By the time the two eunuchs stopped, Ruyi was already lying on the stool like a dead fish. She looked as if she had been fished out of the water, and blood was stained on her skirt.
It was as if her soul had been driven away, leaving only a body, lying there in a daze. If her eyes had not been open and tears had not been streaming, one would have thought she was dead.
Jinzhong squatted down and looked at her, one knee on top of the other, his eyes full of pity: "Tell me why you provoke Concubine Rong? You are already old and ugly, and you finally gave birth to the eighteenth prince. Now you don't want to raise a child, but always want to bully the emperor's beloved. Why?"
Ruyi's eyes moved but she said nothing.
Jinzhong sighed: "Forget it, why am I telling you all this? You always think I have bad intentions. Even if I say a few words for Master's sake, you still think I have ulterior motives."
He stood up and brushed his clothes, then said to Rong Pei, "Hurry up and help your master back. Try to persuade him if you can. After all, it's not the time when the emperor was willing to give in. If you continue to live like a concubine, you will only suffer endless losses."
Rong Pei hurried forward to help Ruyi.
However, Ruyi slapped Rong Pei's hand away and climbed up by herself.
She looked at Jinzhong deeply and staggered back.
She pretended not to notice the palace maids and eunuchs who were peeking at her and laughing at her, and also pretended not to notice Jinzhong's pity.
Compared with hatred, the pity of her enemies made her feel ashamed and crazy.
