Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 24 The Empress Dowager's Decree
Go wherever you want...

The first two things don't matter to her.She has an aunt who is a queen, and no one will beat her or scold her.However, since she entered the palace, she has lost her freedom. Everyone treats her well. The only requirement is not to run around. Even my aunt has given strict instructions, lest she go to the wrong place...

So, the last temptation was thrown in front of her, she caught it, and nodded to him: "OK."

"Good boy." He smiled, took off a piece of jade around his neck and hung it on her body, "This is for you, don't forget today's words."

Then, she took the beads and left.It was the first time she came to the huge Fuyun Palace, she lost her way and couldn't make it to the main hall after turning around several times.Turning around a corridor, there is a hidden garden. Under the corridor is an artificial lake. The lotus in the lake has already bloomed, and it is full of them.

"You know I'm not interested in him..." A woman's voice came from the garden.

She raised her head and saw the gentle and beautiful third concubine Yin Chuxin.There was another person there, who was the fourth prince who had just told her "Don't forget today's words"...

She was still reciting his name silently in her heart: Qin Yunyao, Qin Yunyao, Qin Yunyao... afraid that she would forget him when she grew up.

But now, he and his sister-in-law are in the hidden garden...they are suddenly hugging each other!
At such a young age, when she saw such a scene, her heart suddenly became cold, and the agate slipped from her hand and fell into the lake...

With a bang, water splashed everywhere, and the flames shot up to the sky in front of it.

Qin Yunyao pushed Yin Chuxin away, looked at the flames in front of him, and shouted: "Mother!" Then he lifted his robe and flew over.

Yin Chuxin stood at a loss for a while, then hurried away.

Ji Liangruo stared blankly at the billowing smoke and flames, and then moved away after a while.

The Fuyun Palace was already in chaos, she ran around with everyone, and finally ran to the place where the crowd gathered, and found Ru Ji.Ruji held the eighth princess in her arms, and looked at the burning house with worry on her face, surrounded by a large group of princesses and empresses, praying for God's blessing.

No one paid any attention to her, she saw Wu Chunjun hugging the eldest grandson of the emperor, and the eldest grandson shouted in her arms: "Dad, dad has gone in—"

"Father went to find fourth uncle." Wu Chunjun said.

Only then did Ji Liangruo look at the burning palace, and saw Qin Yunhuang yelling at the door: "Fourth brother! Come out first!"

Qin Yunyao didn't respond for a long time, she was inexplicably covered in sweat.After a long time, I heard his roar: "Mother—"

The sound was hot and painful. When she heard it, tears rolled down her eyes. She stretched out her hand to press the jade pendant he had just given to her chest, and lost her response in a daze.

That day, she met the second concubine.The second concubine not only gave her the first reward she received after entering the palace, but also taught her the rules of survival in the harem, and also gave her a trace of impossible luxury.

The second prince and concubine said: "I can't bear it, there is still the second prince. If the second prince can't bear it, there is still the eldest grandson of the emperor."

The second concubine said: "Then you must not play badly, then Grandpa Huang will give you other fun. Otherwise, you will only be able to play with Zhuzhu forever."

The second prince also said: "Rewards are unavoidable, it just depends on what you say."

These words made her know better and better how to live in the palace peacefully day by day.

When she saw the Second Prince for the first time, she had a small wish in her heart, hoping to meet a man, not asking him to be a prince, but asking him to be like the Second Prince, complaining in her ear: "I have never seen you treat me so well." .”

"I'm so far away, you're going to cry."

"I can't make trouble with you, so what's the point?"

"With you, even if I have nothing, I will admit it."

The next moment, she met a man who offered her a jade pendant for a wooden pendant.Then, a big fire seemed to consume everything.

It burned the maids and eunuchs to death, as well as the concubine Ming.

She dropped the bead given by the emperor to the eldest grandson of the emperor. She thought she would be severely punished, but the fire attracted everyone's attention, and no one remembered a small agate.

In the middle of the night, she was sitting on the bed, holding the pearl hairpin in one hand and the jade pendant in the other, feeling that the harem was terrifying.Is the second prince really that nice to the second princess?Will the fourth prince really remember giving a jade pendant to a court lady?

Soon, the emperor gave Qin Yunyao a mansion, lest he live in the palace and think of his mother being sad, so he became the first prince to move out of the palace.If Ji Liangruo never saw him again, she never saw him again before the Queen Mother gave him the marriage.

She put the jade pendant at the bottom of the box, wrapped it tightly, and forgot what it was for a long time.Occasionally, when I pack the box and find it, I still have to think about it for a long time before I remember it.

She put on the pearl hairpin given to her by Wuchun County, Ruji saw her and asked her, "Where did you get it?"

"It's from the second princess."

Ruji nodded, telling her not to tell others.

After the death of the first emperor, she accompanied Ruji to Shangyang Palace and met Wuchun County.It was the second time they met, and she didn't expect that she still remembered her... Maybe it was the pearl hairpin on her head.

Wu Chunjun stopped when he saw the pearl hairpin on her head, and said to her: "Don't wear this pearl hairpin in the future, it's best to throw it away or destroy it."

Ji Liangruo touched the pearl hairpin, there was some doubt and fear in her eyes, not knowing what she meant.

Wu Chunjun looked at her, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

Ji Liangruo felt gratitude and admiration for her in his heart, so he pulled out the pearl hairpin and hid it in his sleeve.

Later, when Qin Yunguang came to the throne and Qin Yunhuang rebelled, the queen mother killed Qin Yunhuang's biological mother Concubine Xian and her sisters, the eldest princess, the second princess, and the third princess.Only then did she know that Wu Chunjun had saved many lives by saying a word to her; why didn't Ru Ji let her tell others...

At that time, if the queen mother knew the origin of this pearl hairpin, she would definitely think that she had contacts with the rebel party. She must have been executed. Ruji and the eighth princess were also executed, and maybe everyone around Ruji was executed...

For the rest of her life after the catastrophe, she was not willing to throw away the pearl hairpin after all.

If Qin Yunhuang really overturned the country, none of the people around the queen mother would survive.She and Ruji were already beside the queen mother, and he would kill them first, and this pearl hairpin might save their lives.

In the short five years since entering the palace, she grew up from nine years old to 14 years old. She has experienced so many things that made her grow into Ji Liangruo today.

She was grateful for Wu Chunjun's suggestion to her. It was a joke when Qin Yunyao gave him the jade pendant.

For nine years, she kept that jade pendant at the bottom of the box for nine years.Hearing how good he was to the other princess, she smiled lightly; hearing that he came back with a broken leg, she said to everyone: "That's a pity."

She has nothing at all, and at the age of 19, even the years are getting old, she knows that she has no chance to meet the man she once prayed for again.So, he and the jade pendant gave her some comfort: at least she had some contact with love and had dreams. Although the dreams shattered quickly, many court ladies didn't even have these...

However, one day suddenly, the queen mother said to her: "Liang Ruo, would the Ai family betroth you to the Fourth Prince?"

Good or bad?

If you can choose, is it good or bad?

The dream has been shattered, do you want to shatter even the comfort?Or, try to see if there is any surprise?
But she became the secret agent of the queen mother again, so she had nothing left.

She lied to him, she has no rights; he should have forgotten her, it doesn't matter...

Ji Liangruo pushed Qin Yunyao away from Fuyun Palace, the warmth from the intertwining of his lips and teeth still remained on his lips.The past is like smoke, and it has long since dissipated.Goodbye, his behavior is withdrawn and weird, she can't figure him out.For the sudden kiss, she didn't dare to have expectations in her heart, but was full of fear. Who knows what he is plotting?
As smart as he is, it is impossible not to feel the suspicion of the Queen Mother, and it is impossible not to doubt her identity. They are full of scheming when facing each other.
