Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 104 Swap
She knew what they were afraid of, fear of death.Those court ladies yesterday didn’t even have a whole body...

She has never been a good person, if she can't eat, she can't eat, how can she force herself for them?Even Yunyao can't control what others do?
Soon, Qin Yunguang came, wearing court clothes, obviously just coming down to court.

When the maid saw him, she was so frightened that she kowtowed vigorously: "The emperor spares my life! The emperor spares my life..."

"When did I say I was going to kill you?" Qin Yunguang looked at the untouched food on the table, and waved his sleeves, "The food is cold, take it away! Prepare it again, I am hungry, so I really want to kill you." you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The maids kowtowed and took away the food when they heard that there was no need to die.

Qin Yunguang walked up to Ji Liangruo, reached out and raised her chin: "Want to commit suicide by hunger strike?"

Ji Liangruo broke free from his hand and turned his back to him: "I have no appetite..."

"Eat even if you don't have an appetite." He sat down beside her, glanced at Ruixue behind her, "I heard that Dongyue slept with you last night?"

Ji Liangruo's heart trembled, thinking of the "Rui Xue" he called in the middle of the night, could it be that someone overheard him?Then I thought again, now that they are all traitors, and they are all close to death, what does it matter if he knows this?
"She is a maid, what right does she have to share the bed with you?" Qin Yunguang turned her head to face him, "Do you know why I want you to live here?"

"I don't know..." She didn't want to look at him, she wanted to turn her head away.

He didn't give her a chance, so he just held her face in his hands and looked straight at her, but she still avoided his eyes.He didn't mind, so he just talked to her like this: "This palace is where the queen mother lived before she became a queen. Several generations of queens lived here when they were concubines. Although the four concubines are equal, they live in this palace invisibly. I will become the head of the four concubines, and maybe the empress in the future... I have made my words so clear, I just want to tell you that as long as you obediently stay by my side, I can give you anything."

He let her go: "I want to make you my concubine, besides you, only I can sleep in your bed!" She looked at Ruixue, "If she dares to sleep, it will be a death penalty!"

Ji Liangruo said angrily: "You can seal it if you say so? Does the queen agree? Does the queen mother agree?"

"It's fine if I agree." He said, "Come here, drag Dongyue out and chop it up!"

"You—" she was startled, stood up abruptly, and stopped "Dong Yue" behind her, "Do you think you can threaten me with her?"

He laughed: "I still know the difference between the serious and the serious. It's too unrealistic to use her to threaten you to submit to me."

"Then what are you going to do?" Ji Liangruo asked in fear, tightly protecting Ruixue, "If you really want to keep me, you can't hurt her! I don't know anyone here. Just feel at ease!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the food is here—" The maid came in with a new meal.

Ji Liangruo turned to look at them, and then at Qin Yunguang.

Qin Yunguang said: "I just want you to eat. Don't use hunger strikes to test my endurance! Eat obediently. As long as she doesn't break the rules, I won't kill her. If you like her to serve by your side, I will let her By your side, everything in the past, don't blame the past."

Ji Liangruo bit her lip, remembering that he killed the court lady yesterday, without hesitation.The one who will be killed today is her maid, a former betrayer, she will definitely be more straightforward, so she said: "Okay——"

"Princess!" Ruixue grabbed her elbow, "Don't wrong yourself for your slave—"

"She's not a concubine!" Qin Yunguang interrupted her, "From now on, if I call her a concubine, I will tell the world that there is an extra concubine in the harem within three days. Anyone who dares to call her wrong will cut her tongue and serve her!"

When Ji Liangruo heard this, he glared at him angrily: "Who said I want to—"

"I decided to give Yunyao the punishment of beheading—" He looked at her quietly.

She swayed and suddenly became dizzy, but fortunately Ruixue supported her, otherwise she might have fallen to the ground.

"He..." She looked at Qin Yunguang, tears welling up, "He is your younger brother! Isn't it enough for you to kill the eldest princess and them? The flesh and blood are connected, and you can kill them again and again? Sorry!" she yelled.

"Bold!" He shouted loudly, "Do you know that such a sentence is a capital offense?"

Of course she knew, when Yunrui said it, he had already said it...

He suddenly reached out and rubbed his forehead, also thinking of Qin Yunrui's mother and daughter.

"I'll be executed tomorrow..." With a grim face, he stretched out his hand, curled his index finger and scratched her cheek, and whispered in her ear, "I have already told all the ministers about his crime, but the punishment has not yet come. Said, I plan to make an order tomorrow morning... We will get married tonight, if you don't mess around, I will spare his life for your sake, and just imprison him in the depths of the underground palace forever..."

She swayed, and he held her waist: "Don't be so fragile, being an imperial concubine is something to be happy about."

In the evening, Ji Liangruo sat on the bed in a daze, his eyes had lost all life.

Throughout the day, the eunuch sent many things, gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin...everything, I am afraid that the queen has never received so many rewards at once.

The maid asked her to wear a bright red wedding dress, but she refused.

"The queen said that if the empress doesn't wear it, she will kill Dongyue."

Ruixue looked at her, her face was expressionless, it took a long time to stand up, and she opened her hands for them to change their clothes.After getting dressed, she sat on the bed and cried into tears.

After crying for a while, she raised her head: "You all step back..."

"The emperor ordered—"

"I want you to back down!" she yelled, "Anyone who dares not to listen, I'll hit the post and bite my tongue. I'll see how you explain to the emperor!"

The eunuchs and maids looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and retreated one after another.

"Dongyue, don't go..."

"Yes." Ruixue nodded, turned and walked towards her.

Hearing that all the palace servants had gone out, Ji Liangruo stood up, walked to the table with her support, rummaged through the jewelry box, looked at the gold jewelry hairpins and necklaces, and put them aside.

"Princess, what are you going to do?" Ruixue asked in a low voice, afraid that the maid outside would hear.

She found a few gold rings at the bottom of the box, immediately grabbed two or three of them and held them in her hand, said in a hoarse voice, "He's going to be cut in half...I'm going to die right now, it's considered life and death together, never parting..."

Speaking of sadness, she was about to cry, she immediately covered her mouth with her hand, and tightly clutched the gold ring with the other hand.

Ruixue understood that she wanted to commit suicide by swallowing gold, so she quickly reached out to grab it.She raised her hand and pressed the gold to her chest: "Ruixue... I'm sorry for you, I can only leave you behind, so please yourself! When you can only take care of one, of course he's going to take care of him..." Ruji and Cousin, she can't control it at all!
"Princess, what stupid things are you talking about? How can you just die like this?" Ruixue grabbed her shoulders and lowered her voice.

"What else?" she asked, "if Yun Yao is locked in the underground palace forever, it would be better to let him die! Let alone how noble he used to be, whether the underground palace is suitable for him or not. The important thing is that although he doesn't say , Although he does not go out all day, I know that he likes freedom more than I do, otherwise he would not respect Jiang Hu so much... Imprisoning him for a lifetime, his heart will suffer! I would rather his body suffer than His heart is suffering... I gave in to myself and made him like this, it would be better if both of them died..."

Ruixue snatched the gold ring from her hand and looked at her seriously: "Princess, let Ruixue do something for you!"

"What... what?" Ji Liangruo couldn't help but look at her suspiciously when she saw her resolute expression, as if she had made a major decision.

She looked outside the door and said softly: "There is still time now, let's switch, I am here tonight—"

"How does that work?"

"Don't forget that I will disguise myself." She touched her face, "I will disguise you into Dongyue's appearance, and myself into your appearance——"

Ji Liangruo shook his head: "No...I don't want to..."

"Princess, let me tell you the truth!" Ruixue looked at her, "Actually... in the palace, I let your father go!"

"what?"

"He is my adoptive father..." She slowly told her past, stripping off Ji Liangruo's wedding dress as she spoke, "He has left with my master. I heard you said you wanted to find him a while ago. So I sent a letter to Master, they should have rushed to the imperial capital. Once they arrive in the imperial capital and hear about the prince, they will come to save us! None of us need to die, we will leave here soon!"
