Chapter 119: The Gloomy Eunuch and the Imperial Concubine (22)
The next day, Ruan Guannan forced himself to keep his eyes open, cursing the damn eunuch over and over again in his heart!
She vaguely felt that Li Huaiyi left in the middle of the night.
Otherwise, she would have to use a hairpin to poke several holes in his body to comfort her own scarred body.
She propped up her sore body and sat up. After she had put on her clothes, she called Fusang and Jinrui to come in and do their makeup.
This act of trying to cover up one's faults almost broke her defense when she saw the subtle looks from the two maids.
Ruan Guannan had a stern face and stood straight while the two of them put on their makeup.
Just when I was halfway through combing my hair, Kong Qing came in in a hurry. After a long pause, he reported very quickly:
"Master, something happened."
Kong Qing's expression was extremely devastating, and he said quickly:
"This morning, the maids from Yun'en Palace went to wake them up, and found Concubine Yi and His Royal Highness Prince Heng lying on the same bed. They had an affair and caused a miscarriage.
Concubine Yi gave birth to a boy before the seventh month of pregnancy."
After that, Kong Qing walked a little closer and said in a low voice:
"His Royal Highness Prince Heng is still unconscious, and the Queen has fainted from anger and rage."
A cold light flashed across Ruan Guannan's eyes, then quickly disappeared.
She frowned and said, "Please pay more attention to Fengqi Palace and Yun'en Palace. Report any news as soon as possible."
After a pause, he added:
"Kong Qing, go to the storehouse and withdraw fifty taels of silver. Ten taels will be your reward, and the rest will be used to get information."
Kong Qing was delighted, and quickly knelt down to pay his respects, expressing his gratitude:
"Thank you for the reward, Master. I will keep my eyes and ears open and will not miss any useful information."
Ruan Guannan was amused and smiled, "Go down."
At this time in Yun'en Palace, Concubine Yi woke up from her coma.
She subconsciously touched her belly, and the originally bulging belly had now deflated.
Concubine Yi was stunned for a while, then suddenly screamed in fear.
She got up frantically, stumbled and fell heavily to the ground.
Even so, she still crawled forward in a panic.
Tears mixed with the undried blood on his body left a long trail on the ground.
She cried out loudly, "I want to see the emperor! I want to see the emperor!"
The closable door was silent.
Concubine Yi crawled to the door and banged on the door frame heavily. The sound of banging on the door mixed with shrill cries echoed throughout the hall.
The servants in Yun'en Palace all had numb expressions on their faces, as if they were about to die. Who would have the mind to care about a crazy woman who killed them?
"Your Majesty! I am innocent! I have never had an affair with Prince Heng..."
The sound was mournful and sad, echoing in the hall.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. Your son died unjustly!"
There were cries of blood and wailing.
Concubine Yi cried until her voice was hoarse and her hands were covered in blood, but the door of the hall remained closed.
She lay on the ground in a mess, gasping for breath, blood gushing out from her lower abdomen again, but she could no longer feel anything.
She didn't understand. Yesterday, she was still the glorious, high-ranking, and pregnant concubine.
How did it become like this overnight?
She coughed heavily a few times, and suddenly something flashed through her mind, and Concubine Yi's pupils dilated several times in an instant.
Nguyen Quan Nam!
Yes, it's her! It's Ruan Guannan!
She must have caused herself to be like this. She must have brought Prince Heng into her bed.
She said that it was clearly Ruan Guannan who was drugged.
And that bitch is still fine, but I was harmed like this!
Bitch! Bitch!
She began to bang on the door frantically, screaming:
"Open the door, I want to see the emperor, someone is trying to harm me..."
Before she could finish, the door was suddenly opened from the outside.
Concubine Yi was overjoyed, thinking that the emperor had come.
Before she could finish her joy, she was called back to her senses by a sharp voice:
"The Emperor's oral order: The noble concubine Li has a lack of virtue as a woman and has brought disorder to the palace.
He had confused the bloodline and failed the emperor's grace. He was demoted to a commoner, given a white silk cloth, and ordered to commit suicide, never to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
Punish his entire clan, and let this serve as a warning to everyone, upper and lower. I decree this."
As soon as Xiao Quanzi finished speaking, the eunuchs behind him swarmed forward and pinned down Li Shuren.
Li was terrified and shouted:
"No, I am innocent, it's Ruan..."
"Be quicker, or this crazy woman won't make any more excuses." Xiao Quanzi frowned and ordered.
The people below became even more brutal, picking up the white silk and quickly wrapping it around her neck, while someone started to torture her.
Just like that, the reign of the favorite concubine who had enjoyed glory for three years came to an end in such an absurd way.
In Fengqi Palace, the queen woke up slowly, and her personal maid Hongqiao hurried forward to support her.
The queen was in a trance for a long time, then suddenly grabbed her hand and asked hurriedly:
"Hongqiao, where is Heng'er? How is Heng'er?"
Hongqiao's eyes were red, and she choked for a long time before she said:
"Your Highness, His Highness...was demoted to a commoner by the Emperor and imprisoned in the palace. His Highness was carried out of the palace."
When the queen heard this, she fell heavily onto the bed.
Hong Qiao was shocked and rushed over to hug her tightly:
"Your Highness, please take care of yourself! As long as you are here, His Highness still has hope."
When Queen Shen heard this, the breath that was choking her chest slowly subsided.
She couldn't stop her tears from flowing, for her poor son and for the future of them.
No matter how foolish Heng'er is, he would never act so recklessly. He must have been framed!
The bitch Concubine Yi, she wished she could shave her with her own hands!
In the Panlong Palace, almost the entire Imperial Hospital was present.
When Xiao Hong got the news, he was so angry that he spit out blood and fainted on the spot.
He was awakened once by the imperial physician during the process. The physician gave him two oral instructions with a sullen face, and then vomited blood several times. He has not woken up since then.
The entire Imperial Medical Service was in a state of panic, nervously guarding the emperor, fearing that something might go wrong.
The upper echelons of the palace were in turmoil. Those at the lower levels who knew about the situation had already passed away, and those who did not know about it were even more terrified and finally trembled with fear.
That night, Li Huaiyi climbed in through the window with ease and went straight to the bed.
Ruan Guannan knew that he would come tonight, so he lay down on the bed early and pretended to be asleep.
Hearing the noise near the window, Ruan Guannan's heart tightened.
coming!
The man gently lifted the bed curtain, and Ruan Guannan waited for a long time but did not hear any movement from the man.
And Li Huaiyi was just in a daze.
Ever since the two of them had a substantial relationship, Li Huaiyi couldn't control his desire to see her anymore.
I want her to be within my sight at all times.
After knowing that she didn't like that man at all and belonged to him completely, Li Huaiyi was even more excited.
At the same time, his possessiveness towards her almost reached its peak.
This crazy idea seems to be innate and cannot be controlled at all.
Thinking of this, he gently lifted a corner of the quilt and held her in his arms as he did in the past.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, the woman who was originally sleeping soundly suddenly jumped up and pushed the thief hard onto the bed with her elbow.
Li Huaiyi was startled, but he suppressed his instinctive counterattack and obediently let her push him down with force.
Seeing him asking for whatever he wanted, Ruan Guannan's anger faded a little.
But when he thought about how he had let his guard down because he was a eunuch, he was unwilling to swallow his anger.
She slowly used the knots on the bed curtains to tie his hands to the edge of the bed, little by little, so that he lay spread-eagle on the bed.
Li Huaiyi's eyes were deep as he closely followed the woman's graceful figure, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but roll a few times.
Ruan Guannan curiously poked the unclear Adam's apple with his hand and asked doubtfully:
"Eunuch Xiao An, what kind of method is this?"
Li Huaiyi tried to hold back, but couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice:
"Jin'an, call me Jin'an."
Ruan Guannan was stunned, then smiled brightly.
"No, this master likes to call me Eunuch Xiao An."
As she changed the subject, she picked up the hairpin that she had prepared early in the morning from beside the pillow and waved it in front of Li Huaiyi.
As he looked puzzled, Ruan Guannan's hairpin pressed against his Adam's apple, and following the force of his swallowing, he could not help but use some force, saying faintly:
"Eunuch Xiao An is so bold that he even dares to covet the emperor's woman."
Hearing her say that she was "the emperor's woman", Li Huaiyi's originally blurred eyes suddenly sank, and a hint of scarlet and gloom appeared in his eyes.
The knot that originally bound his hands showed signs of breaking.
Ruan Guannan was startled by his gloomy look, but quickly calmed down and added:
"At least on the surface."
Li Huaiyi looked at her solemnly, his eyes unclear and difficult to read.
Then, Ruan Guannan held the hairpin and slid it down along the Adam's apple, across the solid chest.
It passed the extremely hard abdomen and slowly stopped at a certain place.
Li Huaiyi's whole body tensed up, his voice became hoarse and low.
"Master, are you going to abolish this servant?"
Ruan Guannan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise:
"You are a eunuch, how can you be abolished?"
Li Huaiyi curled his lips, a nasty smile flashed in his eyes, and his voice was ambiguous.
“Whether the slave is useless or not, didn’t you experience it last night?
You held me tightly in your arms at that time, and I still remember it vividly."
Ruan Guannan's face turned red after hearing what he said. He glared at him angrily, then raised the hairpin and dropped it down hard.
Li Huaiyi was startled and quickly turned sideways at the fastest speed in his life, and the hairpin was firmly stuck in its original position.
His face darkened instantly, and the dark color in his eyes seemed to devour her.
Ruan Guannan let go of his hand awkwardly. Who asked him to provoke her?
Besides, she stabbed him only because she saw him hiding, why did he look like he was going to kill her?
Li Huaiyi took a breath, the smile on his lips grew bigger and bigger, his eyes fixed firmly on Ruan Guannan.
He struggled lightly, and the seemingly strong knot suddenly broke.
Li Huaiyi, who was freed, turned his wrist and stared at his prey like a wolf.
Ruan Guannan quickly kicked out, trying to kick this evil-minded man to the ground.
But someone was faster than her. When the leg wind swept over, Li Huaiyi exerted force and firmly grasped the long legs that she offered to him.
Then he used his skill to pull the light person into his arms and quickly pressed her under his body.
Ruan Guannan felt a little frustrated. He thought he could knock him down by surprise, but he didn't expect that this guy was stronger than he imagined.
