Rong Pei thought she had misheard for a moment. She asked in disbelief, "If you agree, you and I are still injured. How can we help the emperor with his worries?"

Ruhua smiled mysteriously and said coquettishly, "Rong Pei, you don't understand this, do you? The Emperor is my lover, and I fell in love with him at first sight. Although the Emperor has been deceived by a treacherous person and no longer favors me, I believe that one day he will come to his senses."

Rong Pei: ………

What is Ru Ying'an talking about? Why is it so irrelevant?

She covered her red and swollen cheeks and asked again: "After all, Concubine Duan is a concubine. If we go over there rashly like this, will it make her furious?"

The pain on Rong Pei's face kept reminding her that she was punished like this because she had offended Guiren Nian.

Noble Lady Nian is just a noble lady. If she goes to Concubine Duan, will she beat them to death?

Ruhua's expression immediately changed. With a stern face, she said to Rong Pei unhappily, "Rong Pei, when did you become like this? The reason I trust you is because you're not afraid of power and dare to stand up for what's right. But look at what you're saying now. How is it any different from those sycophantic people?"

Ruhua continued to nag, "Everything we do is for the Emperor. In this palace, everyone looks at the Emperor with lust, but I am the only one who looks at the Emperor differently. Rongpei, do you know the friendship between me and the Emperor?"

Rong Pei sighed. What was this about falling in love at first sight at Ganlu Temple and committing to a lifelong relationship? She had heard this kind of talk at least a hundred times.

Since the master wants to cause trouble for Concubine Duan, I have no choice but to follow him.

Now she only hoped that her master and the emperor really had feelings for each other, so that even if they offended Concubine Duan, the emperor would help them.

Ruhua walked to the outside of Zhongzheng Hall with Rong Pei in a threatening manner, as if she was trying to eliminate a threat to the people.

Zhongzheng Hall

The eunuch guarding the gate outside saw Ruhua and bowed politely.

"I pay my respects to you, and I hope you will be blessed with good health and happiness."

Ruhua smiled coquettishly and bowed to the two of them.

The two eunuchs suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, and looked at Ruhua as if she were a fool.

At first, they were still curious about what kind of person this strange woman was, who, with her fake courtesy, had made three serious masters in the palace faint? Unexpectedly, after seeing her today, she was indeed crazy!

"I want to go in to visit Concubine Duan, I hope you can be flexible."

Ruhua's request was reasonable. A young eunuch nodded and said with a smile, "Then please promise to wait here for a moment. I will go and pass the message inside."

Ruhua has always been unruly. She bowed to the young eunuch, then took Rong Pei directly into Concubine Duan's Zhongzheng Hall.

The young eunuch wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Ruhua, wearing high heels, ran straight into Concubine Duan's palace.

Jixiang was just about to go out to ask what happened when he almost bumped into Ruhua who was running over in a hurry.

Rong Pei was eager to protect her master, so she slapped Jixiang in the face.

"How dare you to disobey Ru Yi."

Jixiang frowned, a little bit unable to believe that he was slapped for no reason.

She fought back without showing any weakness, "This is Concubine Duan's bedroom. If you want to show off, go to Qixiang Palace. I am Concubine Duan's servant. In this palace, besides Concubine Duan, only the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Concubine Xian, who assists in the management of the six palaces, can punish you. These slaps today will serve as a lesson for you."

After saying that, Jixiang slapped Rong Pei in the face without any hesitation, followed by several more slaps, causing Rong Pei's face, which was already swollen like a pig's head, to bleed.

Ruhua hid behind Rong Pei in a cowardly manner, not daring to make a sound.

Jixiang smiled coldly. How dare a concubine come to their main hall to cause trouble? How outrageous!

"Someone, come! Take Jiang Ru down and give him ten slaps."

Ruhua was dragged away without even seeing Concubine Duan.

The nanny who came to carry out the execution said in an unlucky tone, "I'm so unlucky today. I ran into such a disgusting master. I'll have to wash my hands properly later."

Seeing the nanny glaring at her angrily, Ruhua was about to retort, but now she could only speak tremblingly: "Nanny, don't hit people in the face. I am the emperor's favorite, Ru Mingyan. If you dare to touch me, you will be disrespecting the emperor.

The maids in charge in the palace are all shrewd people, and they naturally would not believe such unfounded words.

The Emperor is the Son of Heaven of the Qing Dynasty. If he truly likes someone, he will certainly give that person a high status and supreme honor.

Just like the former Concubine Hua and the current Concubine An, even if a family encounters a disaster, they can still live alone in the luxurious Yiku Palace and let their family continue to live a good life in the capital by their own efforts.

Another is that even though she had the lowest status and humble origins when she entered the palace, she still became the most dazzling of the new concubines.

The nanny taunted, "Since you are still so confused even after agreeing to this, I can only find something to sober you up. I advise you to stop dreaming about these things, or you'll be laughed at."

After she finished speaking, she winked at the little palace maid beside her, and the little palace maid handed a wooden board with a handle to her.

The executioner sneered, picked up the wooden board and hit Ruhua hard in the face.

"In this palace, respect for status is paramount. You are but a humble concubine, yet you dare to offend Her Majesty Duan! Today, I will teach you a lesson."

Ruhua screamed in pain from being beaten, and her tongue stuck out like a tongue.

She shook her hands desperately, trying to break free from the two eunuchs who were holding her down.

The executioner said with disgust, "If you promise, don't wave your ugly claws here for no reason. It's disgusting to watch!"

After that, a few more heavy blows with boards were given. The executioner's technique was very measured. These boards would not hurt Ruhua's insides, but they could make her face red and swollen, causing her skin and flesh to ulcerate and causing her great pain.

Ruhua whimpered in pain, and now even speaking was painful.

Ruhua couldn't help but shed tears, but in the eyes of the executioner, there was no difference between Ruhua's tears and the dirty water under the eaves.

Her hands did not stop moving because of Ruhua's tears, but instead she hit him even harder.

After ten slaps, Ruhua's face swelled up like a watermelon. Now even speaking has become a luxury for her.
