Chapter 338 Heaven's Punishment

"No, it's not what you think, Nanyue. Listen to mother..." Ji Ruyun shook his head vigorously, anxious to defend himself, but his outstretched hands only touched Yun Nanyue's clothes and were pushed to the ground.

Looking at Ji Ruyun, who had fallen to the ground, Yun Nanyue cried out in pain, "Do you know how I lied to myself all these years? I have always told myself that you and your father are the best people in the world, and you will never kill a king or take the throne. The good treatment of our grandparents and grandmothers has even been engraved on our hearts as a three-year-old baby. Uncle xun also said that he would protect his sister for the rest of his life, and that he would make our family the most honorable relatives of the Yan Country. Uncle xun even broke his leg to protect me..."

"Nanyue, calm down. Listen to mother..." Ji Ruyun couldn't care less about the pain of her fall. Seeing that yun nanyue's mood was abnormal, he quickly got up to help her.

However, yun nanyue was not willing to listen to ji ruyun, so she tore off the gold hairpins on her head and threw them on the ground in a few times. She pointed at Ji Ruyun and said angrily, "Don't call yourself queen mother! As the eldest princess of the ji family, you conspired with your husband to murder your parents. Even your younger brother, who was only a few years old, would not let go. For example, you, a heartless woman, are not worthy of being a human being and motherhood! You are a sinner, not only a sinner of the ji dynasty, but also a sinner who killed his brother and caused his sister to marry and marry far away! If it weren't for your lack of greed, our family would have lived a happy life. Even if uncle xun ascended to the throne, you would still be honorable and unparalleled. As a son-in-law, the father would not abandon you, nor would a slut surnamed zheng oppress you, nor would there be that Yun Dongxian, who would kill his brother! It's all your fault. You are unfaithful, unfilial, and unjust. Sooner or later, we will all be killed. This is god's punishment for you. Even if you go to hell, you are not worthy to be our mother. You are not qualified to repent in front of your grandparents."

After giving Ji Ruyun a good scolding, Yun Nanyue turned around and ran out with her gorgeous dress in her hands but her hair was disheveled. The tears on her face never broke.

"Nanyue, come back, come back!" Ji Ruyun called out loudly, but in exchange for Yun Nanyue's speeding back, "Hurry up, hurry up and get the princess back. Hurry up! If anything happens to the princess, I want you to be buried with me!"

At Ji Ruyun's command, the palace people immediately ran out to chase after yun nanyue, but they did not know whether someone had already chased after her or was holding the moon palace, an unremarkable rough envoy and maid sweeping the floor.

Yun Nanyue didn't run too far. After all, she hadn't eaten in days, and her body was very weak.

The moon palace was the best palace in the residence of the princess of the harem, because Yun Nanyue's character was lively and was always the most favored. There were many rockery pavilions in the moon palace, but no one knew that Yun Nanyue liked to go to the rockery cave beside the side hall that he never went to and cry secretly every time he was unhappy.

But today, Yun Nanyue had only been crying for a while when he realized that someone had actually entered the cave. Just as he was about to chide the palace maid, he made a silent gesture, bent his knees slightly and said in a low voice: "Princess, don't make a sound. The empress sent many people to look for the princess. The servant here can just give the princess a cover. If anyone comes to look for the servant, they will deal with it. They will not let anyone disturb the princess. The servant will turn around."

As the maid said this, she was about to turn around, but Yun Nanyue called her back and said, "Are you a rough palace maid? I don't remember your name. Aren't you afraid that if you help me, you will be punished by my mother?"

"Servant... I'm afraid." The maidservant paused for a moment and then said, "The maidservant is just an insignificant maidservant in the moon palace. As long as the princess doesn't say that no one can doubt that the maidservant has the courage to disobey the orders of the empress, please save the maidservant."

"Why did you help this princess?" Although Yun Nanyue was sad, the princess who grew up in the harem would not trust others easily. Even if the palace maids were carefully selected by Ji Ruyun, there was no guarantee that there were no spies planted or bribed by others.

The maid looked at Yun Nanyue hesitantly and lowered her head, "I heard what the empress and princess said..."

"Go on." Yun Nanyue's voice was slightly cold, and there was a murderous look in her eyes. There were some things she could say but could not be spread, especially when things were in such a situation that there was no turning back.

"The servant entered the palace at the age of five. A ten-year-old sister had always been a palace maid in the east palace, but at that time the master of the east palace was Prince Xun." The palace maid's eyes turned red after she finished speaking. When she heard Yun Nanyue gasp for air, she continued, "My sister used to be a big palace maid. She was given a gold hairpin because she was good at serving Prince Xun. I heard from the old lady in the palace that when my sister grew up, she would become Prince Xun's concubine. At that time, my sister said that when I was eight years old, I would transfer my servant to the east palace. Every time I had the chance to meet her, I would tell my servant Prince Xun that he was intelligent, kind and kind, but later..."

At this point, the palace maid's tears fell down in a string. She could not wipe them clean with her sleeve. She choked and said, "When the east palace fire broke out, my sister came to see me, but she was worried that Prince Xun might be safe and run back to the east palace. At that time, the servant was too young to keep up with her sister. She did not know what was going on in the east palace, but when she arrived at the east palace, she saw many officers and soldiers outside the palace running towards the east palace with buckets. Instead of fighting the fire, she washed away the blood stains on the ground. From that day on, the servant had never seen her sister again. Because of her young age and no one to take care of her, the maidservant was sent to be a rough servant. It was the first time in so many years that she heard someone mention Prince Xun, so the maidservant thought of her sister and understood why the princess wanted to hide alone. All these years, the maidservant did not dare to say anything about her sister, so she was afraid that she would get into trouble..."

After saying her past, the palace maid crouched at the entrance of the cave and began to cry softly, but Yun Nanyue could not shed a single tear.

The officers and soldiers outside the palace carried buckets to the east palace not to fight the fire but to wash away the blood stains. This sentence struck Yun Nanyue like a heavy hammer. If he had only guessed the truth about the fire in the palace before, now he could see how terrible the palace change that was not known to outsiders was.

Her favorite grandparents, her great-grandmother, and uncle xun, who was clearly her uncle but took care of her like a brother, secretly ran out of the east palace to play with her. They really died in the hands of her parents. She was only three years old at that time, but her brother was already twelve years old. Did he know the inside story when his parents started the palace revolt?

"Can imperial power really make people lose their humanity? Why?" Yun Nanyue muttered to himself, her hands clenched tightly around her dress and her knuckles turned white. She looked as if she had lost her soul and her eyes were no longer colored.

The maidservant looked up and stole a glance at Yun Nanyue. Seeing her in such a state, she could not help but show a worried look.
