Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Why did Concubine Kang humiliate her like this? !

Xunmei straightened her back and said stubbornly, "I am the servant of Lady Liu. Even if I have made any mistakes, it should be Lady Liu who punishes me."

Concubine Kang sneered: "You mean, I have no right to punish you?!"

She was a noble lady, and Liu Ruyan was also a noble lady. The palace rules were strict, and she had no right to punish Liu Ruyan. But dealing with a lowly maid was not an easy task!

"Caiju, hit me!"

"Yes!"

The two young eunuchs held Xunyou on the left and right. Caiju stepped forward with her arms swung wide and slapped her hard on both sides!

Xunyou's pretty face soon became swollen, and there was a sinister light in her eyes!

"stop!"

Liu Ruyan, wearing a moon-white dress, ran out of the inner room with a smile on her face: "I wonder how Xunyou offended Sister Kang? If Sister Kang tells me, I will punish her severely. Why bother Sister Kang to order someone to do it?"

Concubine Kang's eyes fell on her, and a huge hatred burst out from her eyes: "Liu Ruyan, stop pretending here, I don't have a sister as vicious as you!"

"You killed my son, I will never let this go!"

Liu Ruyan's eyes quickly filled with tears, and she said humbly and weakly, "Sister, your words really humiliate me."

"Your Majesty had already investigated the matter of my sister's miscarriage on the day of the Wanshou Festival and dealt with the relevant personnel. It was the palace maids of Yilan Pavilion who acted on their own initiative, and I was unaware of it from beginning to end. My sister came to me and said such things. Are you questioning your majesty's decision?"

Concubine Kang choked!

If there was evidence, she would never have allowed this vicious woman to survive until now!

Concubine Kang sneered, "You were just cruel enough to let the personal maid you brought from home be the scapegoat, so you escaped. If His Majesty really believed in you, why would he deprive you of your title, and how could you fall out of favor?!"

Liu Ruyan's sore spot was touched, and her eyes were cold for a moment, but soon returned to her weak and harmless look: "If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext. I believe that those who are innocent will be innocent."

Concubine Kang sneered and cast a sarcastic look on the kneeling Xunyou.

"I heard that you and Xunmei grew up together. You are loyal to Liu Ruyan, but in her heart, you are just two obedient dogs!"

"Xunmei took the blame for her and her entire clan was exterminated. What do you think will be your fate? Whenever you think of Xunmei's fate, don't you feel chilled and afraid?"

"All the palace maids in Yilan Pavilion have fled, and you are the only one who remains here. Are you really loyal to Liu Ruyan, or is it because you are her personal maid and no one would want you even if you left Yilan Pavilion? If you could find a way out, you would have left this vicious woman long ago, right?"

After saying these provocative words, Concubine Kang turned around and left with a sneer, surrounded by the palace maids.

How could someone who could survive in the deep palace and even be pregnant with an imperial heir be a fool?

She didn't believe that after today, Liu Ruyan and Xunyou, the master and servant, would still be able to trust each other without any barriers.

When Liu Ruyan's gaze fell on Xunyou, her eyes darkened.

Of course, she understood that Concubine Kang was trying to sow discord. Now she only had this one confidant by her side. If Xunyou was no longer completely on the same page with her, she would have a hard time in the palace.

But understanding is one thing, and being able to stop thinking about it is another.

Xunmei, who has been loyal to her since childhood, has basically lost all her relatives. Will Xunyou really not have any other thoughts?

No matter what she was thinking, Liu Ruyan's face was full of distress. She personally helped Xunyou up, gently touched her cheek, and said softly: "Lady Kang came for me. It's my useless master who has implicated you. Does it still hurt? Go in first, I'll roll the eggs for you."

Xun You's eyes flashed with a complicated expression: "My lady, please don't say such things. I have been serving you since I was a child, and it is my duty to share the honor and disgrace with you."

After entering the inner room, Liu Ruyan treated the wound on Xunyou's face with a look of great sorrow: "Xunyou, you are a smart person. You should understand that Concubine Kang's purpose is to alienate the relationship between you and me as master and servant. If you fall for it, she will succeed."

"As for Xunmei... I can't do anything about it. If she hadn't stepped forward under the circumstances, we would all have died... In my heart, you are like my sisters. I am sadder than anyone else for her ending up like that..."

"If you want to blame someone, blame Shen Zhinian for being too cunning. She was the one who set the trap and killed Xunmei!"

Xun You lowered his head, a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "My young lady, when we were in Jiangnan, we worked together as master and servant, and none of those noble ladies could stand up to you, and they couldn't even catch a single handle on you. Now that you've entered the harem, everyone can bully us!"

"Whether it's Concubine Rou or Concubine Kang, since they have become mortal enemies, we must find a way to get rid of them!"

Xunyou is more ruthless than Xunmei in both her heart and methods, so Liu Ruyan wants to protect her and leave the dangerous tasks to Xunmei.

"Shen Zhinian is still favored and has powerful means. Given Yilan Pavilion's current situation, it is not appropriate to take action against her."

"It's Concubine Kang... Your Majesty just feels a little pity for her because she lost her child, but he doesn't dote on her. Since she doesn't know her own worth and dares to show off in Yilan Pavilion, don't blame me for being rude!"

Xun You's eyes were gloomy: "What are you going to do, young master?"

Liu Ruyan ordered: "You go ..."

After listening, Xunmei nodded viciously: "Yes!"

……

What happened today has spread throughout the harem.

After Kang Guiren left, she specifically sent someone to tell the palace servants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "There are only two people left in Yilan Pavilion, including the master and the servant. There is no need to waste supplies. There is no need to send charcoal over in the future."

It was the end of winter and it was very cold during the day, not to mention at night. Without charcoal fire, people could freeze to death.

Everyone in the palace knew that Liu Ruyan was disliked by the emperor, and Concubine Kang was a popular concubine. Those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak would naturally not go against her wishes.

Although Liu Ruyan has taken refuge with Queen Jiang, she will not waste her time on a useless pawn. Queen Jiang will never lend a helping hand until the other party proves his or her worth.

Concubine Liu and Concubine Liang, who were assisting in the management of the six palaces, disliked Liu Ruyan to begin with, and were lucky not to add insult to injury. Upon hearing the report, she sneered and said, "It's rare that Concubine Kang knows how to save supplies for the harem, so let her be."

Concubine Liang was a good person. She would always help anyone in trouble, no matter what camp the opponent was in. She ordered her servants to secretly send some charcoal to Yilan Pavilion.
