"Qin Zhiruo, come out." The door creaked open and a low, cold shout came from outside.
The goosebumps on his hand trembled, and he suddenly landed on a piece of paper that he had just copied. He quietly turned his head around, and saw a palace maid aggressively staring at him from the side of the door, as if she was an extremely sinful person.
Ruo Ruo's heart skipped a beat, but she calmed down soon after. She said in a clear voice, "I am ordered to transcribe a scripture here. Unless there is an imperial edict, I won't care about anyone else." She didn't want to see anyone she loved.
"Then what about the empress's decree?" The palace maid proudly displayed Yun Rujing's hand.
"Nope." It was fine to not mention the Queen, but this made her even angrier.
"Qin Zhiruo, I am the head of the imperial harem. Now that I have come to the Grand Temple to pray for my West Jinjiang Mountain, not only have you not come out to welcome me, but you have even said such outrageous words. Don't think that the emperor is standing up for you when you were staying in the Venerate Sun Palace, but now that it's gone, come out and kneel down." If this Qin Zhi was easy to deal with, he would have already been sent to the temple by the Emperor in just one move. As long as she could say a few more words in front of the Emperor, if this Qin Zhi wasn't easy to deal with, then, this Qin Ruo would be even more miserable. When that time comes, she would be able to remove a thorn from her sister's eyes.
It looks like the emperor likes a beauty like her. Qin Zhiruo isn't much, just a little woman who can't get on the stage. How can she compare to a queen like him, who is closer to the emperor?
If she didn't hear it, she would stubbornly pick up the pen and make a new half of the book. She wanted to make another copy, fifty volumes, but as long as she was serious and worked hard, she would be able to make another copy very quickly.
However, she ignored him, causing Yun Rujing to laugh coldly, "Men! Drag him out and slap him on the face. Your palm will only stop when you're tired of watching." In the face of that slap from the Jingyang Palace, she had to regain her dignity. Otherwise, her prestige as the empress would be completely gone.
Ruo Ruo wanted to resist, but Cui Er was no longer by her side. They were all strangers and no one wanted to help her. Plus, even if she went to call reinforcements, she wouldn't be able to find anyone to report.
"Let go of me, Yun Rujing. Hit me once, and I'll return it to you ten times in the future." She said those words bitterly, but she couldn't win against the brute force of the two mama who charged towards her.
"Hehehe, I was wondering what kind of ability you had. You were just talking about trying to be brave. Who said I'm going to hit you? I won't even do anything. Come on, press, hit me, ruthlessly."
As he spoke viciously, that palm really did land.
"Pa …"
"Pa …"
However, her arm had been pressed down, making her unable to move at all, "Yun Ru Jing, you are shameless. You stole something from my Lotus Fragrance Pavilion, yet you still refuse to admit it, sooner or later, your actions will be exposed one day, and you will receive your retribution."
"Haha, so what if I took it? "Everything in this palace belongs to me and the empress dowager. I'll be the one to decide how to distribute it. Who do you think you are? Keep slapping until you shut up." The long armor danced in front of Ruo Ruo. It was unknown if it was done intentionally or not, but as soon as she raised her palm, the armor hit Ruo Ruo's face and a red scar immediately appeared on her face.
Ruo Ruo clenched her teeth, she could not move her hand, but she could not allow Yun Ru Jing to bully her like that. She spat towards Yun Ru Jing with all her might, "Yun Ru Jing, you will be punished."
Yun Rujing was not angry, she took the silk pasted over from the side and lightly wiped the saliva on her face that seemed to have been spat on, "Tell me, what retribution will I suffer? Ha ha, the one who has received retribution is Qin Zhiruo and not me, Yun Ru. Just based on what you had just said, I will make sure you die an ugly death. "
"Yun Ru Jing, let me tell you this. The thing on your wrist will explode and when the time comes, it will completely destroy your body. At that time, this lady will help you transcend the level of undead, haha." It wasn't that she was evil, it was because she deserved to die.
"Do you think you'll still be staying at the temple?" I have already made a decree that when I return to the palace after a while, I will send you to the torture chamber when I am tired. Don't think that just because you have been a woman to the emperor you will be proud. There are so many women in the emperor, not one more is not one less is not one less.
The venomous voice came one after another, accompanied by the sound of slapping from left and right. Her face was flushed, but it was unnatural red, and the silver moonlight shone down, gently washing her heart. She tightly clenched her teeth, refusing to let out even a single groan.
"Qin Zhiruo, please beg me. If you beg me, I might let you go if I am happy. Otherwise, don't even think about letting me get away from you."
"Don't even think about it." Let her plead with Yun Ru Jing, she would rather die.
The two of them were stuck in a stalemate within the temple, and if they were to be slapped more than ten times, the crisp sound of the slap would let her know that she would not be able to hold on for long. At this moment, she was seeing stars, her mind was starting to become muddled, and at the same time, her body was powerless.
"Stop, this is the great temple. May the empress please open up a net in front of the Buddha. Please do not disturb the peace and quiet of the Buddhist sect and their ancestors." The abbot, Martial Aunt Jing'an, walked quickly and said with a deep voice.
"I'm teaching this bitch a lesson. What does it have to do with you?" Yun Rujing did not mind the abbot's warning at all, "Come on, give me another hard slap on the face."
Again and again, the blood dripped from the corner of his lips and fell on the grey-white robe. It was extremely eye-catching.
The abbot shook his head helplessly. How many people in the palace would dare to talk big to the empress?
Although Yun Ru Jing didn't listen to Abbot Jing An's words, Ruo Ruo's heart was still filled with gratitude.
After a few more blows, not only did his face feel a burning pain, but there was also a feeling of swelling.
She still bit her lips stubbornly, refusing to admit defeat no matter what. Although she was beaten up, her spirit was still there.
Her eyes looked at the watch on Yun Ru Jing's wrist. She wanted to snatch it right away, but she couldn't even move right now.
Just as she was sighing to herself, the sound of a young eunuch running could be heard. "Empress, please hurry back to the palace. Tonight, the emperor has ripped apart your name plate."
"Really? Didn't you say that you've just announced that you'll be sleeping with a new waitress? "
"I heard that the emperor changed his mind on the spur of the moment. Esteemed Empress, go back quickly." The eunuch urged. To Yun Ru Jing, this was a matter of a pie falling from the sky. If she did not go back and wait for the emperor to arrive, she would miss the chance to sleep.
"Qin Zhiruo, if you want to fight with me, you can forget about it for the rest of your life. Haha, look, I just slept with you yesterday, and will have to sleep with you again today. Forget it, your slap will continue tomorrow." As he spoke, he turned to the mama at the side and said, "Take her to the Discipline Hall first. I'll interrogate her tomorrow."
"Interrogate what? It's not like I made a mistake. On the other hand, you went to my Lotus Fragrance Pavilion and stole my item. He had dared to wear it openly even after stealing. He was truly shameless.
Yun Ru Jing laughed contemptuously, "This thing can avoid evil. The reason I was chosen as the empress was all because of this thing. Don't lie to me."
Avoiding evil?
While she was still in confusion, Yun Ru Jing had already left in a complacent manner.
On this kind of autumn night, the night was as cold as water, causing her legs to feel numb. However, after a short period of time, the two mama who had been supporting her from beginning to end once again took her, dragging her back to the palace and escorting her to the torture chamber.
All those who entered were eunuchs and maids from the lowest level of the palace. As long as they entered, not many would be able to survive. This, if they had stayed in the palace for so long, they would have long heard of it.
Heh heh, she didn't expect herself to be in such a sorry state after staying.
His hair was a mess, hanging down on his chest and back, swaying in the wind. It only made the autumn look even more desolate.
It was unknown when the two shoes fell off, but the two mama driving her had no intention of stopping, and only half dragged her body all the way to the torture chamber. The dew in the grass was really heavy, and it was cold to the touch, making her shiver, and it seemed like there was no end to the road, the faraway lamp emitted a dim light, but that dim light did not belong to her. It was like a distant dream for her, whether it was a dream or a dream, a dream, always a dream, it would never come true.
The Discipline Hall arrived.
Her body was dragged across the high threshold, and she felt pain in her leg. She endured it without making a sound, previously, when Yun Ruoxi had been poisoned by her, she had endured it, so this pain was nothing to her.
When he was thrown inside, the door immediately closed and all the light was blocked out, leaving everything in darkness. Ruo Ruo dragged her painful legs to move to the corner, gradually getting used to the darkness, then she could distinguish her surroundings.
There was nothing in the empty cabin, no bed or quilt.
It seemed like she could only sleep on the wooden board that night.
Hugging his knees and thinking about what had happened in the past two days, he felt as if he was in a dream.
When he opened his eyes and closed them, it was already dark. He could tell himself to sleep, but he just couldn't sleep.
