Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 52
"No slaves!" Ji Liangruo shouted.

"No? You think Ai's eyes are blind, so you can't see the expression on the emperor's face?" The queen mother stared at her fiercely, "Last time you fell into the water in the palace, Ai's family brought the eunuch who was next to the emperor. After asking, I found out that you dared to have a secret tryst with the emperor!"

"No servant..." Ji Liangruo wept, not knowing how to explain.

"Aijia doesn't care if you have it or not!" said the queen mother, "you just need to remember that no matter how much the emperor likes you and how great your contributions are, there is no way this harem will have your place in this harem! You used your body to seduce Qin Yunyao today, and tell him another day. Maybe you have to take off your clothes to seduce other men! The emperor doesn’t care, but the Ai family cares! You should be ashamed yourself, don’t have illusions!”

Ji Liangruo swayed, feeling a little exhausted: "This servant knows..."

"Go!" The Queen Mother flicked her sleeves, turned around and lay down with her back to her.

She bit her lip, restraining herself from crying, stood up with a heavy body, and walked towards the door with difficulty.

There was no one outside the door, she walked for a long time holding on to the wall and pillars before seeing Dongyue and Huixin.

Seeing that she was about to faint, the two came over to support her: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

She shook her head and pushed Huixin away: "Go and serve the Empress Dowager..." Then she said to Dongyue, "Let's go back to the mansion..."

Hui was worried, and followed her closely until she was sent to Longfu Palace.

When she reached the gate of the palace, Qin Yunwei was already waiting for her in the carriage. Seeing her pale face, she asked with concern: "What's wrong with Sisao?"

"It's okay." She shook her head and fell asleep on the side.

Qin Yunwei couldn't take care of herself. Seeing her like this, she didn't ask any more questions, and she also sank into sadness.

Back at the palace, the two each had their own concerns and went back to their rooms.Ji Liangruo lay on the bed as soon as she entered the room. Dongyue opened her mouth to speak, but she shouted: "Did you see that I'm not feeling well? Get out!"

Dongyue was startled by her, her face turned red and pale, she put down the bed curtain and left.

Over there, Qin Yunwei walked around the room with a heavy heart, then turned and went out, saying that she was looking for Qin Yunyao.

Dongyue just came out to see her, and said to her: "You must go directly, don't pick flowers and talk about grass."

"Understood." Qin Yunwei frowned and muttered, leading the book without looking back.

Dongyue had just been scolded inside, and now she choked on her again, feeling that she couldn't hold back her face, and was full of displeasure.

When Qin Yunwei went to Bixiao Courtyard, she burst into tears when she saw Qin Yunyao: "Fourth brother, help me..."

"What's wrong?" Qin Yunyao asked.

Qin Yunwei walked up to him and tugged at his sleeve: "The Queen Mother has arranged a marriage for Fifth Brother, and wants to marry me too! I don't want it, I want to wait for Fifth Brother to come back..."

Qin Yunyao narrowed his eyes: "Who is Yunyang engaged to?"

"The prime minister's daughter!" Qin Yunwei wiped her tears, "I don't like it when I look at it... I don't even dare to think what will happen to me!"

Qin Yunyao thought for a moment and asked, "Where is your fourth sister-in-law?"

Only then did Qin Yunwei think of Ji Liangruo, and hurriedly said: "Go back to your room when you come back, she's not in a good mood, she seems to be worse than me..."

Qin Yunyao heard the words, called Mo Yan to the Jingyue Courtyard, and asked as he walked, "What happened?"

"I don't know very well." Qin Yunwei gave a rough overview of the lake tour, "After the lake tour, I will send my mother back to the palace and my fourth sister-in-law to see Ru Taiji. We made an appointment to meet at the gate of the palace. I will arrive first and wait for a while She just came here, with a very bad expression on her face, as if she suddenly fell ill—fourth brother, do you think something happened to Ru Taiji or Eighth Sister?"

Qin Yunyao frowned and didn't answer.Walking into the Jingyue Courtyard, into the flower hall, Mo Yan couldn't go to the inner room, so Qin Yunwei pushed him there.

There are no maids near the bedroom.Seeing Ji Liangruo's appearance, Dongyue thought that she must have been taught a lesson by the queen mother, and couldn't help but feel a little complacent, so she didn't care too much about her scolding herself.Knowing that she wanted to be quiet, she ordered everyone not to disturb her, and at the same time thought badly, everyone had left, and when she wanted to summon someone, she deserved to scream and no one heard her!
Ji Liangruo lay sideways on the bed, feeling a little difficult to breathe.She felt uncomfortable in her whole body and heart, only felt dizzy, her body was floating, and her ribs were aching.

Suddenly hearing the door open, she turned over and sat up, angrily said: "You don't understand human words, do you? What are you doing here again?"

Qin Yunwei was startled, froze in place, and stammered, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law?"

When Ji Liangruo heard her voice, he suddenly remembered that he heard the sound of wheels rolling just now.She was startled, pulled off the bed curtain, and saw Qin Yunyao's cold and windy face.

Does he know?Guess what?

She suddenly felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eyes.Lowering her head, she fumbled to get out of bed while hanging up the bed curtain.

"Yunwei, you go back to your room first." Qin Yunyao said.

Seeing Ji Liangruo's nervous movements, Qin Yunwei was inexplicably worried, and left the room in three steps.

Standing in front of the bed, Ji Liangruo untied his belt, then walked up to Qin Yunyao, pushed him to the table, took a cup and poured him tea.

He stretched out his hand to strangle her wrist, and the tea splashed onto their hands, and fell onto the table, dripping into one piece.

Ji Liangruo lowered his head, but still didn't look at him.His left hand was held by him, and she put down the teapot with her right hand, and put down the teacup in her left hand, and then directly wiped the water on the table with her sleeve.

"The queen mother betrothed Yunyang to the prime minister's daughter?"

"Yes." She pulled the stool and sat down, looking at his slender fingers holding her wrist, it was so beautiful.If she had such hands, she would be a piano, chess, calligrapher, and embroidery worker, she must be perfect in everything, right?It's a pity that she has only learned how to change clothes and comb her hair, serve tea and water, and embroider a purse occasionally, and she doesn't even have the face to wear it...

"What's the girl's name? I forgot." The Empress Dowager's niece, also considered his cousin, should have been seen by the late emperor when he was alive, but he didn't remember it.

"It's called Xiyue." Ji Liangruo finally raised his head and looked at him, "She's pretty pretty."

"How's your personality?"

"She looks very shy. I only heard a few words from her, so I can't figure it out."

"What do you think?" He looked into her eyes.

She couldn't help dodging: "I don't know how to judge people..."

The word "concubine" annoyed him, he grabbed her by the shoulder, turned her body to face him: "Can you talk to me properly?" He knew that this matter had nothing to do with her!He couldn't bear to scold her and question her, but she dared to challenge his patience!

Ji Liangruo couldn't help crying when he thought of the various crimes he suffered under the queen mother, and looked at him with tears in his eyes: "Yes, it was my fault, I told the queen mother what Yunyang and the others said when they came here for the first time! Yunyang Going out to fight is simply killing two birds with one stone! He has never fought a war, and in all likelihood he won’t come back, but if he does, marry Yunwei before he comes back, what else can he do?”

He didn't expect her to say such a thing, and she was telling him that she was the Queen Mother's spy.However, he didn't dare to follow along and asked, instead, he grabbed her shoulders and shook her vigorously: "Who does Yunwei want to marry?"

"I don't know!" She yelled, and then realized that this is Jingyueyuan, not as easy-talking as Bixiaoyuan, and she couldn't help feeling annoyed.She sighed and lowered her voice, "Please keep your voice down, I don't want to die yet..."

He heaved his chest, let her go, and asked hopefully, "What do you want to say?" Is she going to confess to him?
"I know you have always suspected me... Suspecting that I am a spy sent by the Queen Mother may not only be suspicion, but certainty..." She thought of what Hui Xin said today, how similar it was to what he said.It turned out that the queen mother was also ambushing his people?That's Hui Xin?
"I am." She looked up at him, "The queen mother wants to know everything about you, whether you are pretending to be disabled, whether you are a pawn set by the second prince in the imperial capital... She wants the remaining military power in your hands, she wants Soldiers, she wants the art of war in your mind!"

Of course he knew she was, so he was calm, but he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
