Xiyue Rebirth: The Palace Reads My Heart and Treats the Madness of Yi Syndrome

Chapter 43: Demoted to a concubine, and confined to the cold palace

Facing Hongli's questioning, Ruyi blinked even faster, like a fluttering moth. She tried hard to force out an expression of pain, but she still maintained a faint numbness, as if the person who was burned was not her at all.

Ruyi was in a daze. It was only after Rong Pei's reminder that she pouted, feeling aggrieved and numb. She knelt down slowly and said, "Your Majesty, I am tired of saying the word 'innocent'. I have never done anything!"

Gao Xiyue: [Being as calm as a chrysanthemum doesn’t mean that there is no reaction. Being as calm as a chrysanthemum doesn’t mean that there is no reaction. It’s like giving people the feeling that why hasn’t the performance been finished yet? So annoying! ]

Hongli agreed deeply. He also felt that Ruyi was just trying hard to act, but could never grasp the subtlety of a certain role. Or, she was always trying to steal other people's characteristics, stealing a little from here and there, and ended up becoming a hodgepodge.

Look, she was the one who brought the chicken soup, and she was the one who was scalded to death, but now she is still quibbling that she didn't do it. Ruyi is tired of saying it, and he is tired of listening to it.

"Ruyi, I have already given you a chance, but you did not cherish it. Send an order that Chang Xian, who is plotting to murder the heir to the throne, should be demoted to a concubine and imprisoned in the cold palace!"

Hongli waved his hands impatiently. He didn't want to see Ruyi's disgusting face again.

Pull it away quickly, the sooner it’s quieter!

Ruyi simply couldn't believe that she had just given some chicken soup, so how could she end up being exiled to the cold palace?

Hongli's cold tone was especially heartbreaking. Ruyi stared at Hongli with a cold face, her tears falling silently: "May I ask Your Majesty, you demoted me to a concubine and made me embroider mushrooms in the rain under the gate of the locusts as punishment. Now you demote me to a concubine and make me live in the cold palace. Is this your true intention?"

Gao Xiyue added: [If it’s not the emperor’s true intention, then whose true intention could it be? This Ruyi has never understood what people say. She will definitely say later: I don’t believe it~~~]

Hongli snorted coldly as if he heard a joke: "The decree I issued is naturally my true intention!" It was really ridiculous to think that as an emperor, he had to explain his decree to an unfavored concubine over and over again.

Did Ruyi think that he was just bored and had nothing to do but issue imperial decrees all day long for fun?

How could the imperial edict change every day, making people feel that he, the emperor, has to listen to the orders of an old concubine?

"I don't believe it!"

Ruyi was extremely upset. She would never believe that it was the emperor's real intention to send her to the cold palace. Yes, he must have been seduced by a vixen, which was why he issued such a reluctant decree. Brother Hongli's foundation was not stable yet, and he could not protect her, so he tried every possible way to protect her and prevent other vixens from trying to harm her.

"The wall is shaking like a mushroom. I am heartbroken when I see you! I believe that the friendship between you and me has never been false. I know that in your heart, there is only me. So when you heard that I came to Xianfu Palace, you immediately thought about how I would protect myself if someone harmed me. So you came here in the name of visiting Concubine Mei and couldn't wait to come, right?"

Gao Xiyue: [This person is seriously ill! He needs to be given more medicine!]

Bai Ruiji was shocked by Ruyi's shameless level of self-brainwashing.

The coldness and disdain on Hongli's face became more and more obvious, but Ruyi continued to talk to herself, as if she was reminiscing about her young man, "I understand. I know that you have just ascended the throne, your foundation is not stable, and you are repeatedly controlled by the Queen Mother. The things you did in the previous dynasty have repeatedly displeased the emperor. You are afraid that I will protect you for the sake of my family background, so you openly ignore me and punish me. In fact, it is to protect me, right?"

Gao Xiyue suddenly thought of the Qing Dynasty's number one son-in-law, Zha Zha Long, in the original drama. An emperor would actually follow Daru's wishes and be constrained in every way.

They were true love, so he hadn't set foot in the harem for more than half a year.

He loved her, so he ignored her. Even when Da Ru was framed for murdering the royal heir, he did not dare to investigate further because he was afraid that the quality of the dragon throne would be poor, so he sent her to the cold palace.

He didn't even dare to show others that she was his true love, so he had to pamper someone he didn't love at all, just to protect her safety.

He was afraid that A Ruo's father, the Dragon King, could control floods, so he had to favor A Ruo.

He was afraid of the 49th Mongolian tribe, fearing that they would no longer provide him with mutton, so he compromised in every way according to the wishes of the daughter of the small tribal leader.

He loved her, so he abused her. Because Daru's mind was filled with such deformed love, the entire Forbidden City was seriously affected by the Yi syndrome.

It is obvious that in the original novel, A'long didn't like Daru at all, so he ignored her, but Ruyi forcibly changed all this and distorted the facts everywhere.

This is not a rare thing, fortunately the people in the play have begun to wake up.

"According to you, I am an incompetent and incompetent ruler who must be constrained by others everywhere? If I favor a woman, I can do it without worrying about her mood! Ruyi, who do you think I am?"

Hongli turned away his eyes coldly. He felt that looking at Ruyi any longer would dirty his eyes. But when Ruyi saw this, she felt that Hongli was guilty.

Even Hongli's every word and action were trying to conceal his panic and his true feelings.

Ruyi pouted and said unconvincedly: "If Your Majesty thinks this is good for me, then I will obey your order."

Anyway, it won't be long before Brother Hongli will be tormented by guilt deep in his heart. At that time, she will be in the cold palace and he will not be able to see her. He will definitely miss her to death, but she will not forgive her easily.

"Rong Pei, you are a loyal protector of your master. You have nowhere else to go. You might as well follow me into the cold palace!"

Rong Pei: No way! It's better to work in Xinzheku than to be in the cold palace! She didn't expect that she would end up in hell after being with Ruyi for less than a day.

However, if the rumor spreads that she relied on Xian's promise to bully Concubine Mei, she will not have a good ending. After thinking about it carefully, Rong Pei can only act like a loyal dog: "Wherever the master goes, Rong Pei will go."

Gao Xiyue looked at Rong Pei with a surprised expression: [I never thought that in this life, I have changed the lives of many people. Even Rong Pei came to Ruyi's side in advance. I just don't know if the two of them, the master and servant, will fight to the death and then fight if they meet the brother who goes to the toilet in the cold palace. Hehe, this drama must be very exciting.]

Hongli: "..." I don't understand. Is Ruyi so heavy-handed now? Even when she goes to the toilet, she has to call her brother?

Bai Ruiji: "..." It tastes like melon...
