Chapter 431 Twisted
"Eunuch De." Ruan Yunting smiled and knelt.

Seeing this, Detai hurriedly returned the big gift: "The princess can really beat the old slave, how dare the old slave take such a big gift."

Ruan Yunting smiled and said: "Eunuch De has always raised a lot of points for me, why can't he be accepted? I don't know if the emperor summoned me to enter the palace for something?"

Detai smiled and squinted his eyes, perfectly concealing what he was thinking: "The princess is highly regarded by Emperor Xiwu and Prince Duan, and our emperor also favors you, so the princess doesn't have to worry, it's not a bad thing to go to the palace. "

But it may not be a good thing.Ruan Yunting grasped this level of meaning, and her mind became clear, "I'll go with my father-in-law, so as not to make the emperor wait."

"It's still the princess who forgives the slave, princess, please." Detai turned around and made a gesture of please.

"Eunuch, please."

Ruan Yunting and De Taiqian gave way to leave the shantang, Hongdou helped Ruan Yunting out and got into the carriage, watched the carriage leave slowly, and anxiously twisted the handkerchief into twists.

Mr. Jun is not here, and there is no one who can take care of it. Judging by the appearance of the princess just now, I don't know if it is dangerous to enter the palace today. If something happens, there is a countermeasure.

Thinking of this, Hong Dou went to Niu Shan and Zhang Yi, explained the situation just now, and said: "I always feel that something is not right."

Although Niu Shan and Zhang Yi would occasionally quarrel, but the master is Han Su, and they knew Han Su's feelings for Ruan Yunting, so they must do their best.Now that Hongdou said that, both of them looked serious.

It is impossible for them to enter the palace. The fifty guards who were left at the beginning were photographed by Ruan Yunting and given to Jun Lanzhou for thirty. Now there are not many people. If there is a conflict, they really have nothing to do.

Niu Shan said: "I'll arrange for everyone to be vigilant, if something really happens, I can only try my best."

Zhang Yi nodded, and then said: "Actually, there may not be something wrong, so don't be too nervous."

Both Hongdou and Niushan smiled cooperatively, but they didn't relax much.Now is a sensitive period, the situation is tense, and the relationship between the emperor and the princess is not very close, so why do you want to see the princess?I hope they made a fuss and thought too much...

On hot summer days, bamboo curtains are hung on the carriage, and refreshing wind blows in while driving, bringing a fresh fragrance.

Ruan Yunting's face was calm, her eyes narrowed slightly, guessing why the emperor was looking for her today, and by the time she changed to a pony carriage in front of the palace gate, she had already done enough mental preparation.

The road to the imperial study was quieter than usual, and I didn't meet any ministers, nor did I have any servants.Ruan Yunting was already mentally prepared, so she was no longer nervous or worried.

Detai pushed the lattice fan away with a creak, Ruan Yunting smiled and nodded in thanks, and then entered the door.The lattice fan closed behind him again, making a sharp creaking sound.

Ruan Yunting glanced back, stepped on the shiny black marble floor tiles, and walked slowly to the side room.

Wearing an apricot yellow silk shirt, the emperor was sitting upright behind a black lacquered paulownia desk covered with a bright yellow tablecloth, marking papers.

Ruan Yunting bowed her head and bowed her knees: "See His Majesty the Emperor Liang."

The emperor still lowered his head as if he didn't hear her.

Ruan Yunting stood up straight, looking down at the tip of her shoe.

An hour passed in a flash, and Ruan Yunting's calf was sore.The folds on the emperor's right hand were gradually moved to the left.

"Your Majesty." Seeing that he was temporarily busy, Ruan Yunting called softly.Her voice was calm, and she hid her anger very well—she was no longer from Daliang, and the emperor punished her to stand, which was simply unreasonable.

The emperor seemed to have just discovered Ruan Yunting, and raised his head: "Here you come? When did you come?"

The corners of Ruan Yunting's mouth twitched slightly, and said: "What is the emperor's order, please be straightforward."

Hearing this, the emperor put down the brush with a half-smile, stretched his waist and stretched his body, stood up with a light sigh, and said in a mocking and sarcastic way: "Princess Duanyang speaks with more confidence now than before. .I still remember the first time you saw me, but you were too scared to even lift your head."

"The emperor was joking." Ruan Yunting said: "The emperor is a wise king, not a tyrant. I respect and respect you, but why should I be afraid of you? Does the emperor want others to be afraid of you?"

The emperor smiled heartily, and said: "I remember that when the old masters of the Ji family came to the palace, they were quite rude when they saw me, but now they have met such a fate."

"The emperor is warning me?" Ruan Yunting also smiled, "The bandits and bandits are rampant, and this matter will involve the emperor. At most, it can be regarded as negligence in the safety of your subordinates. Why are you still related to the last time Mrs. Ji entered the palace? Have a relationship? Does the emperor know the whereabouts of those bandits?"

The emperor didn't expect that Ruan Yunting didn't care about his threats at all, and dared to mention the matter of the Ji family, instead of answering her question directly, he said, "Master Duanyang is very familiar with the Ji family?"

"Unfamiliar."

"I don't know her well, but she still cares about their family's affairs like this, which shows that the princess has a warm heart."

"The emperor's absurd praise." Ruan Yunting was already impatient with playing riddles with the emperor, her tone was obviously perfunctory.

The emperor was not angry, he leaned on the dragon chair leisurely, looked at her with a half-smile, and said, "Are you familiar with Shui Qiuxin?"

Ruan Yunting could no longer understand the emperor's intention of asking these questions. Thinking of Shui Qiuxin's death, she made no effort to hide the pain on her face, "Yes, I know Uncle Shui very well. Until now, I still feel that the emperor may have been killed by him. Instigated or deceived by others, he killed Uncle Shui by mistake."

As an emperor, being encouraged or deceived can only prove his stupidity.

The emperor finally got a little angry. Ruan Yunting first called him a tyrant today, and now she said she was a fool.Does she think that she has Xiwu Guo as his backing, and he won't deal with her?But the conversation just now made him try out what he wanted.

"Okay, I let you come to the palace today because my son had a miscarriage late, and the Longevity Palace is in trouble at the moment, and it's inconvenient for you to go to a girl's house, so I've kept you until now. Detai."

The emperor raised his voice to call people.

Detai immediately opened the door and came in, "Your Majesty."

"Go and see what's going on at Yanshou Palace, is Concubine Wan's body even more serious?"

"According to the order."

Detai bowed and backed away.

Ruan Yunting was already shocked by what the emperor said just now.Xu Xiangwan was so nice, how could he have a miscarriage?When she wrote a letter a few days ago, she said that she was fine, and seeing the emperor's appearance, she was not surprised or distressed at all. Could it be that he didn't care about the child in Xu Xiangwan's womb at all?
Leaving the imperial study room, Ruan Yuntingcai felt the cold behind her when the wind blew her, and her back was soaked with sweat before she knew it.She always felt that entering the palace today was unusual.It seems that there is a huge conspiracy approaching her step by step, and she wants to guard against it, but there is no way to guard against it.

The Longevity Palace was very quiet, the young maids in the courtyard went back and forth in an orderly manner, everyone looked dignified and moved lightly, as if they were afraid of alarming the master by making a little noise.

Ruan Yunting thanked Detai in front of the door, then quickly walked up the steps, and only then lifted the amethyst bead curtain at the door, and saw Bai Wei coming up.

"Princess, you are here."

"What's going on? Where's sister Wan?"

"The empress is in the bedroom."

Bai Wei supported Ruan Yunting and walked quickly inside.

The faint scent of flowers and sandalwood in the air could not conceal the smell of blood.Xu Xiangwan was lying flat on the bed in a white undershirt. The bright red sheets, pillows and thin quilt contrasted with her face was as white as paper, bloodless, like a flower that had failed to bloom, lifeless. Drooping here.

Ruan Yunting's nose was sore, tears welled up, and she asked Bai Wei in a low voice: "What's going on? How could it be like this!"

Seeing Ruan Yunting like this, Bai Wei couldn't help but also shed tears, and said in a low voice, "It's all the emperor... hey."

"Emperor?" Ruan Yunting didn't understand, she wiped her tears and looked at Bai Wei suspiciously.

A blush appeared on Bai Wei's face, and she faltered, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, Xu Xiangwan woke up, saw Ruan Yunting coming, and smiled weakly: "Ting'er, you are here, come here."

Ruan Yunting quickly wiped away her tears, and sat beside her with a slight smile.

Bai Wei knew that the master and Princess Duanyang must have something important to say, so she bowed and retreated.

Ruan Yunting said: "People say that the five-month pregnancy should be safe, why do you still say it's gone?"

Xu Xiangwan smiled, his pale face was half as if he had just been picked out of a snowdrift, his eyes were icy with frost: "I did it on purpose."

"what?"

"Early this morning, I deliberately seduced the emperor, and this child is gone."

Needless to say, Ruan Yunting also understood.Presumably the sexual intercourse was too intense, which led to tire slippage.

"Why? Why do you humiliate yourself like this? Don't you care about your body? Besides, the child is innocent!" Ruan Yunting held Xu Xiangwan's cold hand: "You can't think of ways to treat yourself better, Can't you let yourself go?"

Xu Xiangwan looked at Ruan Yunting, and said in a low voice: "I hate him, and I don't want his children to die. If possible, I really hope that time can go back to that time. Why wasn't I poisoned to death by arsenic? There will be Brother Qi, but there will be no me, and Qiu Xin doesn't have to die."

Ruan Yunting knew that Xu Xiangwan's deep sadness and desolation burst out at the same time.It turned out that she seemed to have forgotten this incident long ago, and she still refused to forgive herself deep down.

Xu Xiangwan said again: "Since I am determined not to give birth to this child, why not let him go to make more sense? The emperor dotes on me, why not let him feel more guilty towards me? In this way, I will be able to do things in the future." Xu Xiangwan When Xiang Wan said this, he looked at Ruan Yunting with tears in his eyes: "Ting'er, do you think I'm hopelessly broken? I don't think I'm myself anymore. Those thoughts that came to me suddenly , Let me be scared when I am calm, but I don't regret it, I won't regret it! Qiu Xin's revenge, I must avenge it! I must avenge it!"

Xu Xiangwan looked crazy, making Ruan Yunting burst into tears when she saw her, leaned over her and hugged her and said, "Sister Wan, why are you doing this? Uncle Shui saved you, but he didn't want you to live like this!"
