Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem
Chapter 385: Prince Shun's Rebellion
Concubine Yao thinks that Ruyi is a fool who has lost her beauty and love and is stubborn and reckless, while the emperor is a lustful, stupid and incompetent waste.
But in the end, it turns out that they are all hunters who hide their skills in clumsiness and take every step carefully.
He had long since reached a height that she could not reach, and was able to play with her from a distance in the palm of his hand.
A warm, sweet and fishy taste flowed out of Concubine Yao's mouth. She could no longer tell whether it was because of the beating or because of the anger.
She tried her best to open her eyes and looked at the emperor and Ruyi who were leaning on each other with tenderness in front of her.
Yes, people like them who can make the clouds and rain with a flip of their hands, and who play with power in a way that is hard to distinguish between reality and falsehood, should be the most suitable emperor and empress, and the most suitable couple.
But, since when did the emperor start to collude with Ruyi?
Is it the handwritten letter that she didn't see?
Or did Ruyi never throw away the Queen's seal from Yikun Palace?
Or maybe even earlier...
Concubine Yao was completely puzzled and questioned loudly why they went to so much trouble to plot against her.
Ruyi did not explain, but smiled dignifiedly and quietly, "Empress Yao, you should be thankful that you are a useful knife and a valuable bait.
I will keep you alive for now. Believe that you will soon understand the things you don’t understand.”
Concubine Yao committed treason and poisoned the emperor, and also defiled the harem, seduced the princes, and confused the orthodox bloodline.
Following the emperor's oral order, Ruyi wrote an edict, ordering the palace servants to strip Concubine Yao of her concubine's attire, demote her to a commoner, and temporarily detain her in the Ministry of Punishment to be executed by slow slicing on a certain day.
As for the entire Song family, all those who participated were beheaded, and the rest who were unaware, regardless of gender, age or status, were all exiled to cold and bitter border areas, and were not allowed to serve as officials within nine generations.
Song was decadently wearing a plain white inner garment, slumped on the spot, stunned, listening silently to the judgment of fate.
Before the palace servants could drag Song out, the noise of fighting came from far away.
A young eunuch with his hat askew ran into the hall in a hurry, threw himself to the ground without any manners, and howled loudly.
"Oh no, oh no! Prince Shun has started a rebellion and killed many palace maids along the way. The guards can't stop him and he is now almost at the Yangxin Gate!"
The whole palace was in an uproar, except for the emperor who shouted in shock and anger, "What kind of Shun Prince is this? You are a traitor and rebel, and you are worthy of being called a king?!
Are the guards in the palace just for show? How could they let the rebels break through the city gate so easily? "
"It is not easy to break through the city gate. I am afraid that someone has been colluding with the rebels in the palace."
Ruyi frowned and sighed, her guess was almost right.
Song had not left the Yangxin Palace for a long time, and the news of the emperor's death had not yet been reported, but someone had tipped off that Ruyi had gone to the Yangxin Palace.
Yongsheng felt that something was wrong and thought that something unexpected might have happened, so he could not sit still any longer.
He decided to go all out and led the personal guards he had bribed and the forces of the Niuhuru clan that had been rooted in the palace for many years to launch a rebellion directly from the palace.
The guards were killed by surprise, and the palace maids and eunuchs had no power to resist, which allowed him to reach the Yangxin Palace smoothly.
When Yongsheng entered the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he saw the emperor was about to put on his dragon robe, and Ruyi was standing in front of him, fastening the last button for him.
Lingzhi, Yunzhi and the other palace servants took various tools they had found temporarily and stood guard over them with alert expressions.
On the other side, Wei Yanwan silently huddled behind Jinzhong, holding a hairpin in her hand, with a tense face, ready to defend herself at any time.
Jinzhong was not idle either. He had already grabbed Song, held her hand behind her back, and held her tightly in front of him.
Rong Pei held a delicate knife used for peeling fruit and pressed it against her neck.
Yongcheng looked at Song's tearful face, frowned slightly, and raised the sword in his hand without hesitation, but it froze in mid-air as if he was afraid to use the weapon.
"Let her go!"
Rong Pei naturally refused.
Rong Pei was not a soft-hearted old, weak, or child. Song was terrified from the bottom of her heart and felt that Rong Pei was someone who could really be so cruel.
She bit her lips tightly, fearing that if she moved a little more, the person in front of her would stab her in the throat.
But her eyes were like the stars scattered all over the lake, and she looked at Yongcheng with pitiful eyes and deep hope for help.
Although she knew that men were unreliable, she had no other choice now except to hope that Yongcheng would still have some attachment to her.
At this moment, Song Shi extremely inappropriately recalled the words of advice to Ruyi that she had just said, and she thought she was sober.
She mocked Ruyi for placing her hopes on the emperor, but she herself had also always placed her hopes on Yongsheng.
No one cared about Song's shameful and ironic psychological activities.
Rong Pei pushed her forward, suppressed her fear, and said in a deep voice, "Sixth Prince, you dared to fight with your sword in front of the emperor, which is disloyal and unfilial!
The throne obtained in this way will surely be hard for people in the world to believe!"
Yong Cheng sneered nonchalantly, "If you are both loyal and filial, what's the point of being a prince who is always under someone else's rule?
Now that things have come to this, please don't waste your breath anymore. I don't want to waste any more time talking to you.
Father Emperor, you have sat on the throne for too long. It is time to abdicate and hand over the throne to the young people!"
After saying that, Yong Sheng shouted loudly, and rushed forward at the lead, with the first blow of his sword about to hit Rong Pei's face.
No one expected Yongcheng to suddenly attack. Everyone was shocked and unable to react.
Ruyi's heart was in her throat and she prayed silently.
The emperor thought Ruyi was scared, so he instinctively put her behind him. Such a rare move surprised Ruyi.
However, this belated touch of emotion was like a shooting star, and it disappeared very quickly.
Fortunately, Rong Pei was always smart. She dodged to the side, and the knife missed her sleeve and slashed towards Song.
Yongcheng hurriedly retracted his strength, but the sword energy still cut a deep bloody wound on Song's shoulder.
Half of Song's clothes were soaked with blood.
Her face was as pale as paper, and when she looked at Yongsheng again, the previous expectation and pity were gone, only deep hatred remained.
"I'm sorry, I..."
