Wei Qingwan quickly stepped out of the queue, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "I think I should be beaten to death with a cane."
Concubine Hui sneered: "I don't have the power to kill you now. Emperor Daxing's Zi Palace is still in the Qianqing Hall. How dare I take the life of Prince Rui as a concubine? How about this, you Please give Princess Rui a few slaps on my behalf."
“I accept the decree!”
Wei Qingwan responded with a happy face, then got up from the ground and stood in front of Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo saw a smile and excitement on Wei Qingwan's face.
"Sister, don't blame me. You are disrespectful to the concubine. You deserve this. There is nothing I can do about it," Wei Qingwan said.
Wei Ruo curled her lips.
Wei Qingwan’s arm was raised high and fell hard towards Wei Ruo’s face.
The expected crisp slap did not appear, and Wei Ruo calmly held Wei Qingwan's arm.
"Why, after three years of not seeing each other, you are getting weaker and weaker? With your condition, no matter how strong and fast you are, you can't hit me." Wei Ruo sneered.
"How dare you block her? This is the imperial concubine's order! You are disobeying the imperial concubine!" Wei Qingwan scolded.
"Are you blind? Am I disobedient now? I haven't given her face since I entered the house. Are you stupid if you still want to use her to pressure me?" Wei Ruodao.
“Wei Qingruo!” Being belittled by Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan was ashamed and angry.
Wei Ruo then glanced at Concubine Hui who was sitting on the seat, and added: "She is still a little afraid of Uncle Zhongyi's house at the moment, so she doesn't want to attack me directly, so she uses you as a gunman to let you do it. In this way, Uncle Zhongyi's house I have nothing to say, you are the only one who is so generous and foolish enough to listen to her words and take action."
Wei Ruo's straightforward words once again shocked everyone.
Wei Qingwan's face turned red when she was scolded by her.
She didn’t understand why Wei Qingruo could still be so arrogant and annoying even when he was about to die!
Concubine Hui once again showed a sneer: "I used to think that you were different from other ladies in your hobbies and talents. I didn't expect you to be so unafraid of death, ignorant and fearless. I am really impressed. But, do you seriously think that you are not afraid of death?" Do you think I am so afraid of Uncle Zhongyi’s Mansion?”
“Do you think I’m talking to you like this just because I have Uncle Zhongyi’s backing?” Wei Ruo asked.
“Otherwise, who gave you the courage to be so presumptuous in front of me!”
Wei Ruo stated: "Prince Rui's Mansion is a big worry that you and Prince Jing must get rid of. If I obey you and humble myself in front of you, I can only get a short period of peace. Your murderous intention towards me will not change." . Regardless of whether I treat you respectfully or disrespectfully today, it will not change your intention to deal with me in the future, so why should I wave my hands and beg for mercy?"
Today's Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion can indeed scare Chu Lan and Concubine Hui, so they will not move Wei Ruo immediately, but this is only a matter of time. When Chu Lan's position is secure, he will not let such unstable factors continue to exist. Go down.
Such treacherous words were spoken so bluntly by Wei Ruo, and the other female relatives in the palace were frightened and turned pale.
How could Princess Rui be so bold! Is she really tired of living?
Looking at Wei Ruo irritating Concubine Hui without any bottom line, Wei Qingwan's heart was full of ridicule.
This is such a disgusting and condescending manner! Wei Qingruo just likes this!
Concubine Hui looked at Wei Ruo coldly and said contemptuously: "Princess Rui, I don't know whether to call you smart or stupid at this moment. Do you really think there won't be any difference between your two choices? You are wrong. Your attitude can affect your current situation. If you surrender, I can still let you live a happy life in the last few days. Otherwise..."
As Concubine Hui raised her hand, the two eunuchs next to her came forward. Concubine Hui was about to give orders to deal with Wei Ruo when Nanny Qin hurried in and whispered a few words in Concubine Hui's ear.
Not knowing what she said, Concubine Hui's expression changed, and then she looked at Wei Ruo.
The look in his eyes was slightly different from before, but the look of disgust remained unchanged.
“Come here, please invite Princess Rui to the side hall.” Princess Hui changed her mind.
Although Wei Ruo was not punished directly, everyone felt that Wei Ruo's move was undoubtedly self-destruction, and what awaited her in the future would not be good.
Seeing Wei Ruo being dragged away, Wei Qingwan's eyes flashed with joy, and at the same time there was some regret that she could not see Wei Qingruo being tortured with her own eyes.
Wei Qingwan returned to the queue, and Qi Shijing, who was standing next to her, whispered to her: "You are really not as smart as your sister. At this point, you are still thinking about how to win her. You are really stupid. .”
Being belittled by Qi Shijing as inferior to Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan gritted her teeth and said, "That's enough for you. I've endured enough of you in the past three years. Now that everyone is going to die, don't pretend to be your concubine and preach in front of me!"
Qi Shijing chuckled and looked away with contempt.
###
Wei Ruo was taken to the side hall. The moment she entered the door, Xiumei and Lin Fang who followed her were pressed down by the guards at the door.
Then the palace door behind Wei Ruo was closed.
The doors and windows in the side hall are closed and the light is dim.
Wei Ruo looked into the palace with a calm expression. She had probably guessed what was waiting for her.
Chu Lan walked out of it. As he moved, his body gradually walked out of the shadows and came to a place where there was light.
Since it was a national mourning period, Chu Lan also wore a white mourning dress.
His face was the same as it was three years ago, with sharp edges and corners, eyebrows like mountain daisies, and eyes like stars, but he looked more preoccupied and deeper and darker.
He stood still three steps away from Wei Ruo and said, "You're here."
A simple opening line, like a greeting between long-lost friends.
Wei Ruo looked at Chu Lan silently.
Chu Lan examined Wei Ruo and said, "It's been three years, and you don't see much change."
Then he said: "I have heard about you. It seems that Jiliao is a place that is very suitable for you."
“But His Highness King Jing seems to be more ruthless and cold-blooded than three years ago.” Wei Ruo said.
"Ruthless, cold-blooded..." Chu Lan repeated Wei Ruo's evaluation of herself, and then laughed out loud, "I have already thought about what I should be like in the eyes of other people, but this is the first time I heard it directly. Come on, you really don’t show any mercy to me.”
"Now that things have happened, do I still need to show mercy to His Highness King Jing?" Wei Ruo asked back, raising his face and looking directly at Chu Lan.
Looking at Wei Ruo in front of him, Chu Lan suddenly smiled, and then said: "If I remember correctly, when I first saw you, you lowered your head and didn't even dare to look at me."
