After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

After Shen Ruoyan woke up, she found herself in a strange yard. Her head was feeling dizzy and surprisingly heavy.

Facing everything unfamiliar around her, Shen Ruoyan couldn't remember where she was, and she didn't know why she was here. She shrank by the bed in fear and whispered: "Mom, dad, where are you?" "

The maid outside the door heard the sound and opened the door to come in.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the little baby, the palace maid squatted beside the bed and said softly: "Little master, you are in the palace now. The little master had a serious illness a few days ago and was so dizzy with fever that he may have forgotten some things. It’s a serious matter, but don’t be afraid, little master, it will be fine soon.”

Shen Ruoyan was young and nodded ignorantly. She just felt empty in her heart, as if she had forgotten something very important, but whenever she tried to remember it, her head hurt.

Living here, except for being a little lonely, everything else is fine. The food, clothing, housing and transportation are taken care of by people.

Shen Ruoyan was a naturally optimistic person. Since she couldn't remember it, she gradually stopped thinking about it. Later, she even forgot about her forgetfulness.

She didn't know why she wanted to live in the palace. She asked the palace maid who served her several times. The little palace maid smiled very happily and said that the little master was very lucky and had the love of the saint, so she was taken to the palace to teach her.

Shen Ruoyan tilted her head and thought for a long time, but she didn't remember that she had ever seen the emperor.

Until one day, the northwest corner of the palace suddenly burst into flames.

From the fragmentary words of the palace maid around her, Shen Ruoyan pieced together the outline of the accident.

It is said that the empress who was imprisoned in Changle Palace escaped privately and burned a remote palace in the palace.

The palace gate of this courtyard was locked, and the queen threw many burning oil bottles in through the wall, so it was only when the fire was raging that people discovered that the water was gone.

It was early morning, and no one dared to disturb the emperor with this matter. It was not until after he retired that the emperor learned of the news.

According to the memory of the father-in-law who was serving him that day, after the emperor heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly pushed the jade case full of memorials away by more than an inch, and rushed out like a madman.

Facing the burning courtyard, the emperor tried desperately to rush in, but fortunately he was stopped by several guards.

The fire burned for a whole day, but it did not spread due to the efforts to put out the fire, but the contents inside had long been burned away. Two bones were found among the charcoal.

After hearing this, Shen Ruoyan suddenly covered her chest, squatted down weakly, and burst into tears.

The little palace maid next to me was frightened and asked quickly: "Little master, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Ruoyan shook her head with pale lips. She didn't know why, but she felt her heart suddenly hurt.

Since the fire, the atmosphere in the harem has become very depressing.

Even the fifth prince who usually came to play with Shen Ruoyan was nowhere to be seen. Shen Ruoyan always kept dreaming every night, but when she woke up from the dream, she couldn't think of anything, leaving only a cold sweat on her back.

Everyone in the palace was in danger, and Shen Ruoyan couldn't even go out.

One afternoon, when she was practicing calligraphy in her room, she heard the frightened voice of the little palace maid coming from the yard: "My slave is paying homage to your Majesty."

Shen Ruoyan put down her brush and saw a handsome man walking in. He was very tall, with majestic facial features. He exuded a self-centered and arrogant air that only an emperor can have. However, the man's face was obviously haggard. There was a pain so thick that it couldn't be resolved in his eyes.

He walked up to Shen Ruoyan and asked in a hoarse voice, "How are you doing here, little girl?"

Facing the unfamiliar man, Shen Ruoyan showed a bit of timidity and nodded blankly. Then she remembered the teachings of the nuns in the palace, saluted the emperor, and whispered: "Good luck to the emperor."

As if he hadn't seen her, the man sat slumped on the chair without saying a word.

Shen Ruoyan didn't dare to ask, she put her little hands on her knees and sat aside obediently.

It was extremely quiet indoors, so quiet that you could hear the autumn wind blowing through the leaves outside.

Shen Ruoyan secretly glanced at the emperor and saw him unfolding a bone fan in his hand and shaking it unconsciously. The little girl curled her lips and cursed in her heart. It was already autumn. If the emperor was still fanning, he was already the world's leader. No. 1, there shouldn’t be any need to pretend to be a romantic talent, right?

However, the fan in his hand is beautiful, white and shiny, like a piece of fine jade.

Shen Ruoyan was thinking wildly when the emperor suddenly spoke and murmured: "Your fairy sister finally left me and never came back."

Hearing the words "fairy sister", Shen Ruoyan was stunned, and a heartbreaking pain rose in her chest.

"Little girl, do you think if I cut off one of your arms, will she come back?" The emperor stood up, walked to Shen Ruoyan, and looked down at her condescendingly.

Shen Ruoyan didn't know how she had offended this aloof emperor. She pursed her lips and did not dare to speak, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

The emperor looked down at her for a while, then suddenly thought of something, and said instead: "Forget it, Chen'er said that I will protect you. If you make her angry and don't come to my dream, what should I do?"

The emperor came without any reason and left without any reason.

In the following days, Shen Ruoyan was often worried, fearing that the strange emperor would come again and chop off her arm.

Fortunately, the emperor never appeared in front of her again.

From the mouths of the palace people, Shen Ruoyan heard that the emperor killed many people, and even his own son, His Royal Highness, was given a glass of poisonous wine and died in front of the queen.

"Ah? How old is the prince? What big mistake did he make that caused such a murderous disaster?"

"How do I know this? I only know that the man in Changle Palace howled for three days and three nights. I am afraid he has gone crazy."

"The Queen is so pitiful. The elders of her mother's clan beheaded her and sent her into exile. Now her only son has died in front of her. What kind of evil did she commit?"

"You think...could it be related to the fire she set?"

"Bah, bah, bah, there are a lot of weird things in the harem, don't talk nonsense, be careful of getting entangled with unclean things."

The discussion among the palace people became smaller and smaller. Shen Ruoyan stood in the courtyard, looking at the sky above her head cut into a small piece by the palace wall, and frowned unconsciously.

She didn't know when, but she had gradually become accustomed to the faint pain that lingered in her heart.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and towards the end of the year, Shen Ruoyan suddenly received good news.

She was allowed to leave the palace!
