Empress looks forward to falling out of favor every day

Chapter 390 The Cruel Truth

When I wake up again, everything has changed.

She is like a canary, locked in this palace, surrounded by high red walls that can be seen everywhere.

This red palace wall not only took away her freedom, it even became a partition between her and Xiao Nanchen.

And not long after she entered the palace, Bei Ming rioted in the border area, the general stationed in the border area was killed himself, and the people suffered unspeakably.

At this moment, Xiao Nanchen asked himself to lead his troops to Beiming, and put down Beiming's rebellion in one fell swoop.

He went in winter.

At that time, there was a lot of snow, and Ye Mohan only gave him the status of a small general, and there was no such a big scene of civil and military officials presenting him off as today.

Xiao Nanchen put on his battle uniform, and before leaving for the palace, he came to the imperial study to bid farewell to Ye Mohan.

It happened that Ye Mohan was discussing state affairs with other ministers inside at that time, so he waited outside the hall.

The heavy snow fell swishingly, covering his shoulders.

Even his eyelash feathers were covered with snow.

The young man was dressed in a battle uniform, standing upright in the heavy snow, and never complained.

At that time, Rupin also hid in the dark and watched him enter the imperial study, and then watched him leave.

One farewell for three years, now it's only a moment to come here, it's another farewell.

This time I don't know when we will meet again.

No matter what Yulan said, Rupin acted as if she hadn't heard it, and she stood firmly in place, watching Xiao Nanchen go away.

When Ye Mohan turned around to go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he spotted Rupin hiding in the dark from the corner of his eye.

Eunuch Li followed behind him, watching Ye Mohan's footsteps pause, followed his gaze, and was slightly surprised when he found Rupin.

Eunuch Li suppressed his shock, and asked after deliberation, "Your Majesty, do you want to..."

Ye Mohan knew what he was going to ask, so he snorted coldly, and walked straight forward, as if he meant to leave it alone.

He naturally knew Rubi's affection for Xiao Nanchen, and he was able to stay because he could not tolerate Rubi's affection for Xiao Nanchen.

The women in this palace probably don't have many sincere hearts towards him, they all have their own thoughts!
Rupin watched Xiao Nanchen go away gradually, until Xiao Nanchen's back disappeared from sight, all civil and military officials had dispersed, Ye Mohan also returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Rubi still looked at the front without moving, and after a while, she moved slightly, turned and left.

Yulan hurriedly supported her, and the two walked back slowly.

As she was walking, Rubi remembered that when she had just returned, Qingfang Palace seemed to be even more deserted.

then asked.

"Why are you and the two sweeping girls left in Qingfang Hall, what about the others?"

It's okay not to mention this matter, but when it is mentioned, Yulan feels aggrieved and angry.

"Seeing that the empress is not good, they all started to spend their own money to find the source, and everyone who could leave left."

Water flows to low places and people go to high places.

It's just some maids and eunuchs who are serving, Rupin didn't take it to heart.

She asked again: "Where's Xiaoxia?"

Yulan was afraid that Rupin would be sad, although her mother-in-law wanted to be quieter, she seemed never to be bothered and angry about such trivial matters.

But Yulan, who has served Rupin since she was a child, knows her mother's temperament best.

Although it can't be seen from the outside, when no one is around, he secretly wipes his tears with sadness.

Seeing that Yulan didn't answer for a long time, Rupin turned her head and looked over, "What's the matter? Why didn't you answer? Where did she go?"

Yulan thought about it for a while, and knew that 9 couldn't hide this matter, so she just said it directly.

"Your Majesty, two days before you were taken away, Xiao Xia didn't come back. She only came back at night. Afterwards, you were taken away by His Majesty, and Xiao Xia didn't come back at all."

When the concubine heard the words, she also knew what happened.

She thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Go and find out where she is working now."

"Yes, ma'am."

The weather was really hot, Rubi and Yulan walked for a while, layers of thin sweat overflowed from their foreheads.

Xiao Yueyao was also coming out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation in a sedan chair right now.

A beautiful woman dressed luxuriously and with plain makeup was sitting on the palanquin, her fingers as green as jade were pinching a round fan with a picture of a lady tasting tea, and fanning it gently.

But the skin, which was as white as egg white, was covered with a layer of light powder when it touched the sun.

The sedan chair walked up the path of the imperial garden, and met Rupin.

Lu Chun said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, look, isn't the one who is walking in the front just your concubine?"

Xiao Yueyao raised her eyes slightly when she heard the words and looked over.

Xu Shi, Rubi also heard the movement, turned her head to look over, and found that it was Xiao Yueyao's sedan chair, and followed the rules.

She had to stop and step aside, slightly blessed Xiao Yueyao.

The sedan chair walked over leisurely, but the sedan chair that Rupin thought would pass directly in front of her stopped in front of her.

Xiao Yueyao sat on the palanquin, she was so hot that she didn't want to move for a moment, she lazily stared at the concubine below, and finally decided to get out of the palanquin.

Xiao Yueyao looked at Rubi steadfastly, and said coldly, "My elder brother left today."

Looking at Rupin's expression, Xiao Yueyao continued slowly, "The matter between you and my elder brother has come to an end. Your Majesty betrothed the second daughter of Duke Yan to your elder brother."

"Today, I came here specially to tell you these things, just to hope that you can keep yourself safe and be a good concubine of His Majesty. If you are not afraid of death, you can do whatever you want, but don't involve my elder brother, Ru concubine, do you understand?"

Xiao Yueyao said sentence by sentence.

Rubi's face was calm, and she listened quietly.

"Yes, Concubine Xiao..."

Xiao Yueyao was relieved a lot now, she turned around and was about to get on the sedan chair.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden exclamation from behind, "Your Majesty..."

Concubine Xiao was stunned, and subconsciously turned her head to look over, and saw Rubi falling in her direction, she remembered fainting.

Xiao Yueyao subconsciously went to support the person, frowned, and just wanted to use force.

Xiao Yueyao felt as if her head was about to explode, and scenes of scenes flooded into her mind.

"To untie the bell, you need the person who tied it. Whoever brought the ghost in your house can be brought back by whoever brings it back. Only after death can you bring it back."

"It's just that the things made by this imperial dining room are the most carefully crafted, and they have been carefully checked... But sister Li's work is only made by her own hands, but it can be compared to the dozens of people in the imperial dining room. She must have her own excellence."

"Your Majesty, the servant has mixed some nectar in it according to your instructions, to ensure that the wasp smells like it's crazy."

……

Head hurts.

Xiao Yueyao's face turned pale, her eyes darkened, and she couldn't help her concubine, she fell backwards.

Startled Luchun who was standing behind her, "Your Majesty—"

Lu Chun hurriedly supported Xiao Yueyao, but she couldn't figure out that Niang Niang He was fine just now, but when she met Niang Niang Niang, she fainted.
