C71

At the door of the Wei Mansion.

After hesitating in front of the door for a long time, Peach Blossom finally mustered up her courage and went forward to report to the guard at the door.

But before she could say anything, the guard at the door viciously scolded, "What are you doing!? Don't you see that you are not allowed to trespass into the important areas of the Duke's Mansion? "

"I, I have an important matter to discuss with the wangfei. Please pass it on to her on my two brothers' behalf."

"Scram!" My wangfei is so noble, how could a poor person like you be able to see her whenever you want to! "

"I really have an important matter that I need to report to esteemed wangfei in person. "I am not some poor person. I am a servant girl from marble temple's residence, marble temple's official, Liu Yuan's official residence. I know of wangfei, please pass on the message that this servant, Peach Blossom, is here on Madam's orders."

"There are so many people like you who wish to see my wangfei every day. If my wangfei wants to see you one by one, can she still keep busy?!" "Scram!"

Without waiting for Peach Blossom to finish speaking, the guard drew his sword. "If you don't scram, then we won't be polite!"

Peach Flower timidly retreated and fell down in fear.

She got up, clutching the hem of her dress, and resisted the urge to step forward again.

Madam, there aren't any good people in this prince's estate, much less the wangfei.

How can you believe that the Princess can help you?

Peach Blossom lifted the corner of her skirt and turned to leave. Looking at her, it seemed that she had already come up with a plan.

Not long after the peach blossoms had left, a woman wearing a dark red pleated skirt walked out of the Duke Palace.

When the guards saw her, they all revealed flattering expressions, "Sister Cai Wei, according to your intentions, we scared that person away."

"Thank you very much." Cai Wei smiled and took out a bag of silver from his sleeves and gave it to the guard in charge. No one has come today, and none of you have seen anything.

"Yes, yes. No one has come. We didn't see anything. Thank you, Big Sister Cai Wei, for treating us brothers to wine. " The guards immediately beamed with joy.

Cai Wei laughed, looked at the direction that the peach blossoms left in, and a deep meaning appeared in her eyes as she turned around and returned to the Duke Palaces.

She knew wangfei's temperament better than anyone else.

She knew better than anyone that the wangfei would kill without blinking an eye.

Since the Peach Blossom had disappeared, Mrs Liu might still be able to return alive after being exiled for a few years. If she could see the princess again, Mrs Liu might not be able to live much longer.

After leaving the Wei Wang Manor, the peach blossoms started to wander the streets.

After returning to the Liu Estate, there was no longer a place for her in the Liu Estate. If it wasn't for the Madame, she wouldn't have returned no matter what.

There was a market today, and people were coming and going in the streets, but she had no one to rely on.

In a daze, she bumped into someone.

He stopped and apologized, but then he heard the person call out to her, "Sister Peach Blossom."

Inside the Phoenix Palace.

After Xiao Ruyue finished her lunch, he was dragged by Yuwen He to take a nap.

Due to the return of his powerful minister, Yue Xiang, he felt as if he had been relieved of a burden and immediately let go of his political affairs.

The fact that he had taken two hours of nap was sufficient proof.

Normally, he wouldn't even be willing to sleep for an hour.

When Xiao Ruyue woke up, she had already left.

He asked Yin Lin to pass the message that Yue Yang and a few other ministers had entered the palace, and he had gone to the royal study to discuss politics.

Xiao Ruyue nodded her head to show that she understood and lazily stood up.

He let Yin Lin casually roll her hair into a bun and insert the jade hairpin. Her clothes can only be worn in plain clothes and that would be the end.

Although she was only dressed simply and had no makeup on, Xiao Ruyue's oval face, which was the size of a palm, was not one bit inferior to a woman's.

On the contrary, her fair skin did not need makeup. It was white with a tinge of red, and her pair of eyes were clear and bright.

The way she was dressed gave her an otherworldly aura.

"Empress, even if you were in your own palace, you can't dress up like this. If others see you, who knows how hard it will be for you to listen to me and say that Empress this Princess Dongling is poor and can't dress up." When Lu Yi saw how she was dressed, she quickly took out the jewelry from her makeup case and put it on.

"What does it matter to them what other people like to say? Their mouths only grow on other people, how can we still care about what they say?" Xiao Ruyue leisurely pulled down Lu Yi's hand, "You can't even do whatever you want in your own place, what's the point of living?"

Lu Yi was speechless. She looked at Yin Lin, "Big Sister Yin Lin, look at the Empress."

Yin Lin waved her hand, her words saying: "You have followed the Empress longer than me. You should know the Empress' personality better than me."

Lu Yi was defeated.

Perhaps it was because the Empress had suffered too much in the Prince's Mansion in the past, but now that she had luxurious clothing and food, she was too lazy to dress herself up.

But who told the Empress to be so beautiful that she could not give up? Even if she didn't put on makeup and dress up, she would still be so beautiful that it would be difficult to match her beauty.

Compared to that Imperial Consort Ye and that Wei Wangfei who only dared to meet people after smearing their face with makeup all day, the Empress was naturally much more beautiful!

Thinking of this, Lu Yi gave up.

She even felt a sense of accomplishment as she happily said, "Even if the Empress doesn't dress up, she'll still be prettier than others."

"You are beautiful too." Xiao Ruyue didn't forget to tease her.

Just as they were talking and laughing, Cai Yin ran in from the outside and said, "Empress, Miss Ripple has entered the palace to seek an audience."

Ripple?

Xiao Ruyue's smile froze.

Didn't he tell her to take care of Jing Yu in the Xiao Mansion? Why would they enter the palace?

Thinking about it, Xiao Ruyue stood up and said: "Pass."

When Xiao Ruyue walked out of the main hall, she saw two girls kneeling in the middle of the hall. One of them was not wearing the attire of a palace maid, but rather the clothes of a maidservant.

She was on her knees, trembling.

Beside her, the other person was clearly rippling.

Xiao Ruyue frowned, she sat down and asked: "What happened?"

"Esteemed Empress." The ripple happily lifted up.

The trembling girl beside her also raised her head. Wasn't this the Peach Blossom that would fail when she went to the Wei Wangfei to seek an audience with Yao Ziyan?

"Esteemed Empress, esteemed empress, please save my wife!" Peach Blossom cried and shouted when she saw Xiao Ruyue, tears streaming down her face.

"You are …" Xiao Ruyue hesitated, as he was unable to comprehend the situation before him.

"Empress, she is the personal maid of the's Madam." Ripple quickly said.

So she was the personal maid of the Mrs Liu's wife.

It wasn't that something had happened to Jing Yu.

Xiao Ruyue's brows instantly relaxed as she looked at the ripple expressionlessly, "Ripple, I let you take care of the Xiao Shang Shu in Xiao Mansion, why did you run over here? But is there something wrong with the Xiao Shang Shu? "

"No, no, Lord Xiao is fine, master is fine!"

"Lord Xiao is fine, you should be in Xiao Mansion as well." Xiao Ruyue's voice was extremely cold.

Rippling said, "To reply Empress, elder sister Peach Blossom is Mrs Liu's personal maid. After something happens in Mrs Liu, elder sister Peach Blossom needs to think of a way to save her master. It just so happened that I went shopping on the street, and that's why I met Peach Blossom Sis. "

"Oh? To meet by chance and draw swords to help? "

"No, no. Ripple is my countryman. Esteemed Empress, I was the one who shamelessly and bitterly begged Ripple to bring me to the palace. Esteemed Empress, my wife is about to be exiled.

Xiao Ruyue's face darkened slightly, "Lyusch's harmed herself, and it was because of her that Xiao Shang Shu suffered from the effects of Regeneration and Prison. She deserved to be exiled. The judgement of the Beijing Zhaoyin has been passed down. No one wants to kill her head, how can they save her? "

"Esteemed Empress, this servant heard with my own ears that the old master wanted to find someone to deal with Madam on the way!" The peach blossoms blurted out in a panic. Unable to hold back their tears, tears started to fall from their eyes.

"My wife's been married to the old master for so many years, but he didn't care about their relationship at all. He even said that the madame made him lose all his face … I didn't dare tell the madam. Esteemed empress, you have to save my wife! She's just too silly."

At this point, Xiao Ruyue's face had already darkened by half, "Just what is going on?

Peach Blossom looked to her left and right, Xiao Ruyue said: "Don't worry, there are no outsiders here, you can feel at ease."

With Xiao Ruyue's promise, Peach Blossom choked with sobs, and told everything she heard in the Liu Estate as she cried. She also told the story of how the Mrs Liu brought her to the Wei Wang Manor to look for Wu Feng to help, as well as Liu Yuan and Mrs Liu in the past.

Back then, Liu Yuan was only a poor scholar who relied on marrying the Cai family's daughter, the current Cai family. He became famous, had a meteoric rise, hated him for making a name for himself, and after that, despised his wife, and shamelessly took her as a concubine, ignoring everything else.

The Lyusch's gradually abandoned herself, and the gentle lady became even more jealous of herself, causing the current situation to develop.

As matters stood, the Lyusch's caused Liu Yuan to lose all face, and Liu Yuan no longer had any sense of camaraderie to the Mrs Liu's Cai family. This wife was undoubtedly a stumbling block for him. However, because of his status as a member of the Cai family, he dared not abandon his wife.

Since ancient times, women had a low status, and husbands taking in concubines was a matter of course. Therefore, as long as Lyusch's was Liu Yuan's official wife, no matter how many concubines he took, the Cai Family would not care.

Since they had to get rid of her, but they couldn't cause trouble for the Cai family, the best way was to take advantage of the situation while the Cai family was on the road to exile, and then she could blame the fact that her body couldn't bear the hardships of exile and she suddenly died on the way.

By then, once Mrs Cai died, he would be able to live a good life, and no one would be able to control him.

"Nobody knows. "Good plan." Xiao Ruyue laughed coldly, "He wants to go for broke, he is truly ruthless!"

"Esteemed Empress, I beg of you to save my wife. My master … no, Liu Yuan is completely unconcerned! My young miss has done something wrong and she definitely deserves to be exiled. But because of that Liu Yuan has already suffered so much, I can't lose my life anymore. Esteemed Empress, please save my wife! Peach Blossom is kowtowing to you here! "

Peach Blossom kowtowed as soon as she said that. She kowtowed and used her life to bang her head on the ground. Everyone could hear the sounds of her kowtowing as she kowtowed.
