After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 169 Atonement
Ruan Yuyi stared at Cen Li who was bending over and hanging his hands, and pursed her lips tightly, the atmosphere froze for a moment.

She said coldly, "I don't want you, you can go back where you came from, and I will explain to His Majesty."

Cen Li paused for a moment, and thought to himself, the young master's tone was somewhat similar to His Majesty's.He lowered his eyes and collected his thoughts, "Your Majesty is joking, neither you nor the servant can easily make His Majesty take back his life."

She suddenly felt her throat clogged, and threatened, "Are you going or not?"

"I don't dare." Cen Li bent down and folded his hands in front of him. Every etiquette was so standard that it seemed to have been practiced hundreds of times, making it impossible to make mistakes.

He handed over a small white porcelain bottle, "This is the medicine His Majesty entrusted your servant to bring over, please take a look at it, my lord."

She hesitated for a moment, took the porcelain bottle, and asked, "What is this for?"

"Your Majesty said that it is for healing the wounds after Huan's recovery." He said it bluntly, his voice calm.

"I don't need this thing." Suddenly, the tips of her ears burned red, and the white porcelain bottle was extremely hot, and she wanted him to take it back.She just thought it was something Xindi sent to tease her.

Cen Li repeated that sentence, "This is His Majesty's order."

Really good eyes and ears.She choked and couldn't speak.I had no choice but to hide the things behind the decorations on the table, so that they are out of sight.

At this moment, Mu Xiang also brought hot soup and a cup of tea to rinse her mouth.Thinking that Miss is slow to use things, the water should be cold after drinking the soup, so Mu Xiang took the extremely hot ones.After she finished using it, the tea was just at the right temperature.

Mu Xiang had never seen this new eunuch, so she didn't know the situation, so she stayed by the screen, "My lord, this—"

Ruan Yuyi looked worried, and motioned for Mu Xiang to come closer.Through the veil, she picked up the teacup on the tray, tilted her hand slightly, and the water poured down, onto the back of Cen Li's hand.

He seemed to be unconscious, neither dodging nor evading, and even the posture of placing his hands did not change at all.It was the water that Fang took from the stove, and the back of his hand was scalded frighteningly red in no time.

She really didn't expect that he wouldn't hide, her eyes widened slightly, her hands trembled, and the white jade cup dropped to the ground.

Only then did Cen Li move. He accurately caught the cup and held it in both hands, "My lord, be careful not to hurt yourself." His voice was calm, neither sad nor happy.

She didn't answer, opened her mouth, and asked after a long time, "Why don't you hide?" Doesn't he hurt?

Whether it is a nobleman or a servant, they are all made of flesh and blood, there is no reason for it not to hurt, but it is just a little water, he has survived even more powerful than this. "All follow the little master's joy." He said.

She shook her head slightly, extremely uncomfortable with his meticulous obedience.The person in front of him was quite different from the wood spirit, and he didn't have the freshness and vitality of the wood spirit at all.

This is the person raised in the imperial city.

Her pupils trembled, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said weakly after a while, "Go down."

Having received the order, Cen Li stepped back in response.

Chonghua Palace.

Concubine Shu took off the gold tinsel and emerald hairpin that she loved on a daily basis, Yi Yi wore a plain dress and slumped on the couch.

In fact, a few days ago, things about the Rong family had begun to emerge.She wrote several letters to Rong's house, but she received no response, and her heart skipped a beat at that moment.Since the Rong family depended on her for greater glory, they would never ignore her letters.

She vaguely felt bad.But she didn't want to think about it any further, and suppressed the uneasiness.

Until yesterday, the new emperor brought her back to the palace with a group of guards.She spent some money and inquired from various places, and just now pieced together the whole story of the incident.

Hiding eight hundred stones of pepper?
Concubine Shu sneered.The Rong family did have this ambition, but it wouldn't be on the surface, after all, the new emperor was also a figure to be feared.

She knew that this was just an excuse for the new emperor to bring down the Rong family.

Perhaps it was all His Majesty's plan from the moment of allowing her to enter the palace and granting her the concubine position.He wanted the Rong family's ambition and infidelity to be fully exposed, and the charges were confirmed bit by bit.

Poor Rong's family thought they were benefiting, and fell into the illusion His Majesty created for them, without realizing it at all.

She covered her eyes, and curled her lips with bright red lipstick, but the arc was cold.A creepy chill seized her whole body, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She was never just a pawn.

It was the same for him and the Rong family who gave birth to her.

"Your Majesty—" her confidant palace maid called her, with worry in her voice.

She took her hand down, shook her head slightly, and signaled that she was fine - at least His Majesty would not do anything to her yet.

Because she personally presented the medicine given to her by the Rong family to the new emperor, and explained everything the Rong family had told her, in exchange for the safety of her own life and that of her younger sister.

The nanny from the Rong family was killed on the spot in front of her eyes.

Later, the new emperor sent news that all the men of the Rong family had been beheaded for public display, and the women had been made slaves.This matter is so important that any emperor in the previous dynasties would not let it go easily. The nine clans should have been implicated. Because Concubine Shu took the initiative to confess, the guilt was mitigated.

She knew that the Rong family deserved it.At this point, she has nothing to say.

She has cried, crying so hard that she can't breathe, her heart is broken, this is the emotion of being the daughter of the Rong family.Once the Rong family was destroyed, only Concubine Shu Rong's remained.

She didn't see any trouble, and stayed peacefully in this gorgeous Chonghua Palace.

Whether it's obedience or redemption, she has never been sorry for the Rong family.

Concubine Shu turned her sluggish eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Liu Ying, I'm thirsty."

Liuying hurriedly brought tea for her, "Your Majesty, use it slowly." She took it, glanced at it, and found that it contained high-quality tea leaves, which had not been taken away, but probably there would be no new ones coming.I don't know when it will be finished.

Everyone in the palace will probably laugh at her.

The carved and rich door was pushed open, and it was Concubine Shu's maidservant who had stayed in the palace at that time, who came in, she bowed sadly and said, "Servant, servant please give me peace."

"You're so stupid," Concubine Shu glanced at her, "If you come in, you can't get out, do you know that?"

The maidservant in the palace burst into tears, "My maidservant knows. This maidservant is willing to accompany the empress, to share the sweetness, and to share the suffering."

Concubine Shu was silent for a while, then Fang said, "Did you go to see Ruan Jieyu?"

The maidservant nodded.

She let out a long sigh.I shouldn't have gone, but I've hurt my sister.At that time, she didn't know what was going on, and she always thought that there was a turning point, so she stayed behind.

I just hope that sister Ruan will be like everyone else, be a little colder, and just pretend that she has never been on good terms with her.Also to avoid being angered by His Majesty and suffering from the disaster.

She looks out the window.The light in the daytime is always brighter, casting a water-like light and shadow under the window.

Liu Ying noticed where her eyes were going, and said softly, "Mother, it's snowing outside. It's so big, like a goose feather."
