It is a great honor to defy the imperial edict. Sisters should talk to each other for a long time.
How could he have known that with the sudden arrival of Yi Feifei, the rules of the palace would be hard to conceal.
"Jing`er!" The person on the bed slowly raised his head to look at his father-in-law who had just entered the room. After a long time, his two lifeless eyes suddenly lit up, "Rong'er? Is that you? "
Rong'er's eyes turned red as he threw himself at Zhi Zhi's side, "It's me! It's me, it's me! It's Rong'er!" He gently held Jingzhi's hand, which was covered in bones. "Jing`er, you've suffered so much. How come you've become so thin?"
"Rong'er, I really didn't expect to see you again." The only difference was that he had been grounded for a long time. His face was extremely pale, and he didn't seem to be angry. This smile made Rong'er's heart ache even more.
"No, how could they do this to you? No …" Rong'er's tears slid out of his eyes. He felt a heart-wrenching pain. Right now, all of Zhi Zhi's life was gone. They were too cruel. Was this the royal family's rule? Too cruel!
"I'm fine, Rong'er. Don't cry, I don't want to cry anymore. I'm just looking forward to ending this kind of life as soon as possible. Actually, I wanted to kill myself as well, but …" I've heard from Ruo Lan that people who commit suicide will not find it extremely enjoyable, so I waited. Actually, look at how leisurely my life is right now. I only eat and sleep every day. " Jingzhi said with a smile.
"Master …" Seeing that Zhizhi was pretending to be relaxed, Rong'er's heart was even more upset. "Zhizhi, I'm useless. I can't save you …"
"Don't be silly. How could you possibly save me? Right, the emperor is making things difficult for you. Is the emperor treating you the same as before?" Sergei asked, thinking of how he had implicated Rong'er.
"Very good …" "It's fine, it's fine. The emperor doesn't blame me." She had to trick Master Zhi Zhi. She couldn't let her feel guilty.
"That's good …" Zhizhi did not notice Rong'er's expression and said gratifyingly, "That's right, Rong'er, do you know when you will sentence me to death? I've been waiting every day, and I don't know anything about what's going on outside. "
"Jing`er, Zhuan An and Wan Ji both died of illness, and it has been an unlucky day for the palace. In February, it was Empress Li's month of sacrifice, and a few days ago, two more concubines entered the palace. Estimate... "It's probably at the end of the month. I'm afraid I'll have to do something to you …" Rong'er stammered.
"Ah?" "Did Ann and Wan Ji die?" Sergei asked in surprise.
"Hmm, you know that since last year's spring, Zhuan An's body had not been in a good condition. A small chilliness had taken her life, and Wan Pai had first caught the cold before he had to close his lungs and cough out …" Rong'er murmured.
"These poor children, if the heavens pity me when I die, I will take care of them …" He spoke quietly and respectfully.
"No …" "Jingzhi, tell me, what do I need to do to save you? I don't want you to die, I really don't want …" Rong'er cried out hoarsely. It was one thing to not be able to see it, but the more he saw, the more sad and reluctant he became. Right now, she couldn't even beg the emperor. She was so powerless, so powerless.
"Rong'er, there's no need. Really, if I live, I'll suffer. You serve the emperor well. I hope the emperor will pamper you for the rest of your life. I'll pray for you." Tzu Chi lightly held Rong'er's hand and said in a powerful voice, "I thought I was finally free. I'm very happy."
Rong'er smiled wryly as he thought to himself. Had the Emperor doted on her for the rest of her life? "I'm afraid it has already changed." "Jingzhi, I …"
Rong'er had not even finished speaking when he suddenly heard a sound from outside, followed by Xiaoqing's alarmed cry, then a wave of berating, followed by a wave of shouting, and then a wave of shouting. The door suddenly opened, and behind the door stood Imperial Concubine Yi, while Xiaoqing, who was guarding the door, rushed out, "Xiaoqing …" Rong'er cried out in alarm.
"A concubine?" Imperial Concubine Yi looked at Rong'er in surprise. "Why are you here?"
"Chenqie …" "Chenqie …" Rong'er was stunned for a moment, she never thought that the Imperial Concubine Yi would suddenly appear.
"Consort, do you know that the Empress Dowager has given orders that no one is allowed to visit her? You're still wearing the clothes of a eunuch? Imperial Concubine Yi frowned slightly.
"Chenqie knows her wrongs." Rong'er didn't argue with him. He had finally gotten something that was dirty, so he couldn't deny it.
"Esteemed wangfei, you're the oldest sister in this palace, but you've taken the lead in breaking the rules." Esteemed wangfei, you're the oldest sister in this palace, but you took the lead in doing such things. The Imperial Concubine Yi sighed, "Men, please send your concubine back to the palace."
Rong'er turned around and looked at Zhizhi again. Zhizhi's eyes also revealed a deep sense of worry. She really didn't want to implicate Rong'er, not even a little bit.
After Rong'er was brought out of the house, Imperial Concubine Yi turned her head and looked at Zhi Xin worriedly, "Esteemed wife, I am not a cruel person, today I heard that you can't eat anymore and my body isn't too well, so I wanted to come and see you. After all, only I can come visit you in this palace, but I have never thought of encountering a concubine, could you tell me that, how many times has she come to see you?"
"Imperial Concubine Yi, do you believe what I said?" The tone of her voice was very light. To her, there was nothing to fear other than not letting Rong'er be implicated.
"I do." Imperial Concubine Yi did not hesitate at all.
Rong'er smiled gratefully at her, "This is the first time. What a coincidence. I only came this time and I just so happened to catch you here. You haven't come to see me for almost a month, right?"
A look of apology flashed past Imperial Concubine Yi's eyes, "You have gotten skinnier, I have not taken good care of you …"
"Imperial Concubine Yi, you are too polite. A dead person is not that fat or thin. After dying, wouldn't they just turn into a corpse?" "Jingzhi has a presumptuous request. Can you not tell the Emperor, Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager that Rong'er has come to see me?"
"This …" Imperial Concubine Yi shook her head lightly, "I'm sorry, I can't promise you that. The people from the palace who came with me today have seen everything that has happened.
Zhizhi thought for a moment, then nodded in understanding. She bitterly said, "I've harmed Rong'er again."
Imperial Concubine Yi raised her head and laughed, as she said faintly, "But you can rest assured that I will take care of you, and that I will plead on behalf of my concubine … My Palace... "He's not a heartless person …"
"Thank you …" Zhi Zhi looked at Imperial Concubine Yi gratefully.
"I will get the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make you more delicious food. There isn't much time left to live, so you should live well until that day comes …"
"I will …" Sergei nodded slightly.
"Don't hate me. I've always had a guilty conscience towards you. I was the one who spoke too much to the empress dowager, so you've suffered today. My heart really doesn't feel well …" Imperial Concubine Yi's eyes turned red and he muttered softly.
"Don't think too much into it. Chenqie is disloyal to the emperor. It's only natural. Chenqie never blamed you, not the slightest bit …" She knew that Imperial Concubine Yi was still young and people weren't bad, so she didn't blame her. She believed that she would keep her word and help Rong'er escape punishment …
