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

On the way back to the palace, Liu Ruyan drank the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician. Although the rash on her face had not subsided, it was not so obvious and could be covered with powder.

It was too late when she came back yesterday, so she didn't dare to go to Kunning Palace to disturb them. She took Xunyou out early in the morning to pay her respects to Queen Jiang.

What happened to Liu Ruyan has spread throughout the harem.

Although she was stripped of her title in the past, she had a truly beautiful face and might make a comeback someday. Although people tried to flatter her, they did not dare to go too far.

But after this incident, everyone knew that the chance of her being favored by His Majesty again was almost zero, and no one was concerned about her anymore.

In particular, everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Liu hated Liu Ruyan very much. Those who wanted to curry favor with Concubine Liu were even more trying to humiliate her.

"Hey, isn't this Lady Liu?"

A rather pretty lady blocked Liu Ruyan's way, with an undisguised sarcasm on her face: "I heard that Concubine Liu followed you to the Xiaotangshan Palace, but His Majesty didn't favor you at all and sent you back overnight? This is really hilarious!"

Xun You said coldly: "How dare you! Our young master is a noble, and you are just a mere promise, how dare you disrespect the superior?!"

At other times, even if Chen had a hundred guts, she wouldn't dare to do that. But now, everyone in the harem knew that Concubine Liu had completely fallen out of favor.

The most important thing is that she wanted to get close to the Imperial Concubine, but she was of low status and couldn't find a way. The Imperial Concubine hated Lady Liu the most. If today's incident reached the ears of the Imperial Concubine, maybe the Imperial Concubine would see her and take her in for herself.

"Oh! A woman who has fallen out of favor and is despised by His Majesty dares to act like a noble here? Do you think it's funny?"

When Liu Ruyan was in favor, there were countless people who were jealous of her. Now that they see her falling from power, they all want to step on her.

"It's normal for women in the harem to want His Majesty's attention and favor, but this is the first time we've seen women abandon their modesty and rush to the palace to compete for His Majesty's favor."

A nobleman covered his mouth with a handkerchief and laughed: "I think Lady Liu is not only the most beautiful woman in Yangzhou, but also the most shameless person in Yangzhou..."

"Perhaps Your Majesty was also shocked by Concubine Liu's shamelessness, so he staged a show of returning the jade intact to Zhao."

"It's so funny!"

"..."

Liu Ruyan bit her lip, her eyes becoming increasingly gloomy as she listened to these mocking words.

Xunyou's eyes were cold. Even she couldn't stand these unpleasant words, let alone the young lady? She was so angry that her chest heaved. She was about to argue something, but was stopped by Liu Ruyan.

"We still have to go see the Queen, let's go."

"……Yes."

Looking at Liu Ruyan's slender back, Chen Da Ying's eyes were full of contempt: "No matter how seductive she is, it doesn't matter. Your Majesty has Concubine Rou by his side, so he doesn't even look down on her!"

Everyone was naturally jealous of Shen Zhinian, but since she was in great favor, they dared not offend her and could only target Liu Ruyan.

If one day, Shen Zhinian falls from a high place, the cold stares and ridicule he will receive will definitely be no less than that of Liu Ruyan.

"Little Master."

Xun You said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me just now that it was the Queen's idea to send you to the Xiaotangshan Palace? Even if they were very brave, they wouldn't dare to question the Queen's intention."

A trace of hatred flashed across Liu Ruyan's eyes, and she said bitterly, "This is an opportunity I asked the Queen for, but I failed. Now I don't know how to explain to the Queen, and how can I have the face to bring her out?"

Xun You felt very distressed: "But you are a noble after all. It's ok for a noble to mock you, but now even the concubines and maids dare to act so presumptuous in front of you..."

Liu Ruyan clenched her hands slightly under her sleeves: "People in the palace are used to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. They know that the Queen will no longer make decisions for me, and Concubine Liu regards me as a thorn in her side, so they are naturally unscrupulous."

Xun You gritted his teeth and said, "It's all because of Concubine Rou's cunning schemes! Before you went to Xiaotangshan Palace, you were bumped into by Little Lizi in her palace. She must have instructed Little Lizi to put hibiscus pollen on you!"

Liu Ruyan looked up at the gloomy sky: "So what? Do you think His Majesty will pursue Shen Zhinian for my sake?"

Xunyou was extremely worried: "But you can't just sit there and wait for death..."

Liu Ruyan raised her hand and touched her face.

Her beautiful face and slim figure are her best weapons!

His Majesty was clearly amazed by her dancing last night. If Shen Zhinian hadn't interfered, she would have been restored to favor long ago!

As long as His Majesty doesn't really dislike her, she still has a chance!

"Let's go meet the Queen first."

Soon, the master and servant arrived at Kunning Palace.

Today was not the day for the whole palace to pay respects, and Queen Jiang liked quietness during her illness, so the entrance was very quiet.

Liu Ruyan lifted her skirt and knelt directly on the hard and icy stone slab: "I am the concubine Liu Guiren, begging to see the Queen!"

Xunyou also knelt down behind her.

However, none of the palace servants in Kunning Palace paid any attention to them.

Liu Ruyan repeated, "I am the concubine Liu Guiren, begging to see the Empress!"

After a long time, Fanghua came out from the inner room and said, "Lady Liu, the Queen has taken the medicine and has gone to bed. She will not see anyone today. Please go back."

Although she used a respectful title, there was not much respect in her tone.

A useless chess piece, who has wasted the Queen's efforts, and yet he still has the nerve to come and ask for an audience with the Queen!

Liu Ruyan kowtowed heavily, her snow-white forehead instantly reddened: "I know that I have failed to do my job well, and I dare not ask for forgiveness from the Queen. I only ask that the Queen give me a chance to apologize in person. Please inform Aunt."

Fanghua's words were still so polite that no one could find fault with them: "The Queen has gone to bed, and I dare not disturb her. I will convey your thoughts to you when you wake up. I hope you will forgive me and go back!"

Liu Ruyan knew that she had offended Concubine Liu before, and the other party would definitely take advantage of her loss of power to get rid of her!

The only one who could rival Concubine Liu in the harem was Queen Jiang. If she couldn't see Queen Jiang today, she would be dead!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Liu Ruyan kowtowed on the cold ground, her voice mournful and pitiful: "I really just want to see Her Majesty the Queen. I beg Her Majesty to have mercy on me..."

Fanghua shook her head and turned to go into the inner room.

Queen Jiang was lying on the phoenix chair. Although she was a little tired, she did not fall asleep. She could hear everything outside clearly.

"I thought she could check and balance Concubine Rou, but I didn't expect her to be so useless."
