Chapter 14
Today, Emperor Rui, as an emperor, wanted to have fun with the people and cruise with Concubine Hui.

They all went out, wouldn't the palace be deserted?
In the evening, Emperor Rui and his party were ready to leave the palace. Lingyao saw from a distance that Concubine Hui looked dignified, wearing a palace dress of a hundred birds and a phoenix outlined in bright red gold silk, which was extremely beautiful.

It's just... Concubine Hui has never seen herself. Even if she went to see her three times a day, she was turned away. She also went to the Imperial Hospital, worried about her health, but the imperial doctors told her sincerely that Concubine Hui There is no problem with the peace pulse.

Lingyao was also puzzled, looking from a distance, Concubine Hui didn't look sideways, she was full of phoenix, but... it seemed that there was a little less tenderness and more ruthlessness.

Lingyao shook her head vigorously—why did she think about Concubine Hui so much?
"Yaoer." Emperor Rui suddenly became serious, "Remember, don't leave the palace tonight."

Lingyao felt that there was something in Emperor Rui's words, as if it was Abi hell outside, and she couldn't step in.She was a little worried, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, Father, is something going to happen?"

Emperor Rui smiled: "It's nothing, but in the past two months, I suddenly discovered that many people from the border areas came to Beijing. The borders are far away, and the eating habits, especially the etiquette, are quite different from ours. They are a little unrestrained. Night The lights are dim, and the begging festival is crowded with people, I am afraid that the servants will not protect them well, and I am afraid that they will bump into Yao'er."

Lingyao knew in her heart that Emperor Rui was doing it for her own good, so she nodded vigorously and said: "Father, don't worry, since Yao'er promised Father, she will definitely not go back on her word."

"Yaoer." Emperor Rui smiled gratifiedly, and stroked her hair habitually, "I know Yaoer is not happy, why don't you go to Chonghua Gate?"

Ling Yao suddenly became elated: "Father prepared a gift for Yao'er, what is it?!"

Rui Di smiled without saying a word, and waved his sleeves: "Let's go!"

His majesty's guard of honor set off slowly, Ling Yao watched the guard of honor go away, and took Yuqiao to Chonghua Gate.

"What surprise did Your Majesty prepare for Yao'er, and the concubine didn't know about it?" Concubine Hui and Emperor Rui took the carriage together, and they will soon arrive at the main street of the capital. There will be people along the road after a while, and it will be inconvenient to talk to each other at that time up.

"Yao'er has a lot of playfulness, I think she will reach Ji this year, and she needs to restrain her temper, so the road to Chonghua Gate is covered with expensive lanterns, just like the bustling street." Emperor Rui said with a smile on his face. With a slight smile, Concubine Hui knew that it was a sincere smile that he would only show when Lingyao was mentioned.

"At the end of the road, I also prepared a gold and jade tree for her that is as tall as a person. Yaoer has always been worried about losing her gold and jade bracelet. I have to let her know that she can have as much gold and jade as she wants. She’s the most important thing.”

Concubine Hui still smiled: "Yao'er is so lucky." Her tone was as usual, but the look in her eyes was a little lighter.

This man she had loved for more than ten years was an excellent emperor and a qualified father... only, he was not her sincere husband.

She had lived such a hypocritical life for many years - she didn't want to live it.

And Lingyao, who arrived at Chonghua Gate, was obviously amazed by the scene in front of her: gorgeous and various lanterns were hung all over the whole street, and the maids and eunuchs who had taken off their palace clothes were selling at the stalls in the clothes of ordinary people. , and even sell candied haws and small folk jewelry, her eyes are full of brilliant colors, Emperor Rui actually built a whole folk street in the palace for her.

At the end, you will see a golden jade tree as tall as a person. The gold bars as thick as your fingers are coiled and intertwined, and the leaves and small fruits made of pearl agate are decorated on it. It looks luxurious but not vulgar, bright but unique .

"Princess, Your Majesty has really put your heart into it!" Yuqiao said enviously from the side.

This scene was in Lingyao's eyes, and there was a small pear dimple at the corner of her curved mouth. She raised her head slightly, her neck and sleeves were long, and she was extremely beautiful.

"Princess!" The hidden guard in a black robe knelt in front of her: "The villain is Duan Shizi's secret guard, and now Duan Shizi asked the villain to look for you, please come forward and save me."

Lingyao's smile disappeared immediately, and she hurriedly woke Erqi up: "Erqi, is Duan Xiuran in danger?! Why didn't you remind me!"

Erqi seemed to have just woken up and was a little slurred in speech, but still said: "No... no, no threat to the target's health was detected."

Lingyao breathed a sigh of relief, and Erqi continued to ask, "What's wrong, host?"

"It's okay." Lingyao regained her composure, turned off Erqi's system, looked at the hidden guard and said deliberately: "But your master is in danger?"

The hidden guard did not lie, and said: "Princess, there is no need to worry, the master is fine. It's just that Miss Wu is in trouble, so I ask the princess to save her."

Lingyao's slender fingers slightly slid across the exquisite and luxurious golden jade tree, and said lightly: "I haven't had much contact with her, and I'm not a close friend. Why should I go? Besides, in this capital, what danger can there be?" ? If I guess, left and right are just right, and she is not a good person, and others hate her, why should I associate with her and make myself bored?"

"Princess!" The man knelt down directly, "The master ordered the villain to come and invite the princess, and also asked the princess to give the villain a way to survive!"

Lingyao frowned: "Why, if you can't complete the task he gave you, you will pay with your life?"

Xu Shi could hear the disappointment in Lingyao's tone, a big man was the dumbest, he hurriedly wanted to explain, but he hesitated and couldn't say anything, and finally nodded his forehead: "Please help the princess!"

Lingyao was angry, she didn't like Wu Bingning in the first place, why did she want to save her?What's more, she has already promised her father that she will not leave the palace tonight, she doesn't want to break her promise to her father.

Looking down at the hidden guard, Lingyao sighed and said, "I didn't want to go, and it has nothing to do with you. If Duan Xiuran blames you, just use me to block it——Yuqiao, send him out of the palace!"

"Princess..." The man wanted to say something, but was dragged away by the eunuchs.

Ling Yao suddenly lost interest, and said: "It's all gone, there is no need to talk to Father about this, understand?"

"Yes." The servants responded, and Lingyao walked back to her palace.

But Wu Bingning, who was in dire straits, didn't know what to do, only to see the eldest princess speak sharply: "Bold servant girl, how dare you wear the clothes of the princess system!"

Wu Bingning quickly explained: "No...it's the third princess, it's Zhao Lingyao!"

She was terrified to the extreme, a little crazy: "No...it's not me, it's Zhao Lingyao!"

"You still dare to bite Yao'er?!" The eldest princess became even more angry, she looked at Wu Bingning as if she were an ant, "Come on, drag her down and beat her with forty sticks!"

"No!" Sun didn't have any objections, so Duan Xiuran had no choice but to come forward and said: "This woman offended the eldest princess, but it was an unintentional mistake. The so-called 'one who doesn't know is not guilty', the eldest princess is beautiful and magnanimous, presumably... ...wouldn't care about such country girls."

Country girl...Wu Bingning was stunned for a moment, and before she had time to feel sad, she saw the eldest princess sneer: "Well, since Mr. Duan has spoken, then forty boards will be waived, and it will be changed to... twenty boards."

Duan Xiuran still wanted to say something, but the eldest princess was already annoyed: "The begging will start soon, the son is a heroic man, so he is not suitable here?"

Duan Xiuran still didn't move, until he saw his dark guard appearing, he had some hope in his heart, but all this hope was shattered after a while - the dark guard didn't bring Lingyao.

Duan Xiuran clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles creaked, the ruthlessness of the force was obvious, he gritted his teeth, although he was reluctant, he went and said respectfully: "Yes." Then he left the eldest princess mansion.

The bustling is still bustling, the bustling is still lively, but Duan Xiuran stood at the entrance of the street in a daze. After a while, he called the hidden guards: "Go, escort Miss Biao back to the house, and send her my bottle of white jade wound ointment. Remember to keep her safe."

"Yes." The dark guard took the order and hurried away.

Duan Xiuran raised his head and glanced at the sky, he had already caught up with the gradually dense crowd and clenched the sword in his hand.

Emperor Rui and his car were parading on the street, both sides were filled with happy people, Emperor Rui had a majestic face, and Concubine Hui was a little weaker than in previous years. Suddenly, Concubine Hui smiled and asked abruptly: "Your Majesty, in fact Huier has always wanted to ask His Majesty something."

Emperor Rui didn't look sideways: "The people are all looking at you and me, if you have anything to do, let's go back to the palace and talk about it."

But Concubine Hui turned a deaf ear and still asked: "The concubine has been with His Majesty for more than ten years, and I just want to ask His Majesty——Has Your Majesty ever truly loved Hui'er?"

She was crying, Rui Di was startled, looked at her immediately, frowned and said: "What happened?"

Concubine Hui had a crystal teardrop hanging from the corner of her eye, but it never fell. She sniffed and forced a smile: "Hui'er already knows what His Majesty has done; maybe Hui'er has been kept in the dark, but Your Majesty, Why are you so negligent?"

Ruidi had a hunch that something was wrong, but he couldn't ask too much right now, so he just comforted him patiently: "This is not the time to talk about this matter, I'm back in the palace..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a bunch of fireworks was suddenly set off in the sky, Rui Di was taken aback for a moment - it's not yet the scheduled time to set off the fireworks.He became vigilant all of a sudden, and sure enough, the crowd suddenly became turbulent. It turned out that many shadow killers were hiding in the crowd, waiting for the signal to be sent out, and the assassination plan was launched with an order.

The common people fled in all directions, Emperor Rui quickly grabbed Concubine Hui's hand, pulled out the sword on the chariot, protected her behind him, and said, "Come here, escort Concubine Hui away!"

Realizing that the person behind him was so calm, Rui Di looked back, his eyes full of disbelief.

Concubine Hui sat upright on the spot, with a wry smile on the corner of her mouth, the teardrop that had been crumbling also rolled down, leaving a beautiful red mark on her rouged face, she looked at him affectionately, her voice was as As gentle as in the past: "Your Majesty, you have harmed Hui'er's life, and Hui'er betrayed you, we... can be regarded as clean?"

Rui Di couldn't believe it, he just felt like a cold sword pierced into his heart, it was cold and painful.
