As soon as Ruyi entered the cold palace, she was shocked by the dirty and messy scene inside. Her eyesight has always been good, and she even saw one of the concubines in the cold palace catching lice on her head and stuffing it into her mouth.

"vomit……"

Ruyi quickly covered her mouth and vomited to the side. Rong Pei quickly protected her tightly and only heard her screaming wildly.

"Master, don't be afraid. I am here! Everyone, go away!"

Seeing Rong Pei protecting her, Ruyi finally felt safe. She quickly hid behind Rong Pei, looking particularly weak, helpless and frightened.

"Rong Pei, this place is too scary!"

Even though Ruyi was as stubborn as a dead duck, she was really disgusted by the reality of the cold palace.

She didn't expect that her young lover was so cruel that he was willing to let her go into such a dirty place.

As expected, her young lover left her.

Ruyi could not help but be inspired to write poetry, and she sang loudly: "Ah... the mushrooms are shaking on the wall, and I know you are like an egg intestine when I see you! Your Majesty, you have caused Ruyi so much pain..."

"Your Majesty~~~The Emperor is here?"

"The Emperor is here!"

"The Emperor is here to see us!"

"Your Majesty, you finally came to see me!"

"Bitch, don't stop me from looking at the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, hehehe..."

"Go away, bitch, the emperor is mine!"

"..."

Ruyi shouted to the emperor that once the evil door was opened, it would naturally bring immeasurable consequences.

She suddenly became the target of all the concubines in the cold palace. All of them, with a foul smell, threw themselves on her like moths to a flame.

Although Ruyi was scared, she was completely dazed and her expression was numb. Even though she was always smart, she had never expected that such an outrageous thing would happen, so she tried her best to raise her claws and protect her head to maintain her dignity.

"Master, you have to be careful, they are all crazy!"

The first Baturu of the Qing Dynasty, General Rong Chaoxiong, also displayed her extraordinary martial arts skills at this time. She was willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of her master's dignity.

Rong Chaoxiong suddenly spun his arms around like a propeller, hitting everyone he saw. Under Rong Chaoxiong's protection, Ruyi was able to escape unscathed. Just as she was about to catch her breath, she heard a deep voice shouting, "Get out of here!"

After this sound, all the crazy concubines fell silent and dared not to do anything wrong again.

Ruyi looked up and saw a man who was old, white-haired, and no longer beautiful, but still dressed quite decently. She looked at him with admiration, "Excuse me, who are you?"

This concubine of the previous dynasty is someone you can deal with!

To describe it in one word, it’s “decent”!

Unexpectedly, Concubine Ji ignored Ruyi completely, gave her a cold look, and said, "You are the new sister, right? There are empty palaces over there, go find a place for yourself to stay! This cold palace is not like the outside world, whether you can survive or not depends entirely on yourself."

After saying this, Concubine Ji left quietly.

Ruyi was stunned. She thought, this cold palace is not a place where people are eaten. It just fits her personality of being as gentle as a chrysanthemum. How could she not survive?

So she shouted: "Thank you for your advice, Madam! Although I am in the cold palace, I still have to maintain my dignity! Please watch me!"

Before Concubine Ji left far away, she heard Ruyi's undisguised ambition. Her eyes flashed and the corners of her mouth curled slightly: It seems that an extraordinary person has come to this cold palace.

Ruyi led Rong Pei and quickly found a remote courtyard. As long as she was away from those crazy women, she felt happy.

"Cough cough!"

The palace had fallen into disrepair, and perhaps because it had not been repaired for a long time, it was covered with dust.

Rong Pei covered her nose with disgust: "Master, how can this be a place for people to live?"

Ruyi smiled faintly, "Life is good or bad, but it is all caused by one's own experience. Although this place is a little shabby, it is elegant. If the emperor knew that I could endure such hardship in the future, he would definitely be heartbroken. Okay, Rongpei, you should clean up this place quickly. We will rest here tonight."

Seeing that Ruyi was becoming more and more satisfied with the cold palace, Rong Pei opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing.

Although Ruyi said that she didn't mind, she just stood there without moving. She neither found a place to sit down and rest, nor did she show any intention of helping Rong Pei.

Rong Pei can only do it by herself.

Soon, Ruyi covered her stomach, her legs were numb from standing, and she said, "Rong Pei, I'm hungry, can you go see if there's anything to eat?"

She remembered that it was time for dinner.

Rong Pei responded and left quickly. She stayed for a long time, so long that Ruyi felt dizzy from standing. It was already dark when she saw Rong Pei hurriedly returning.

"My Lord, those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are really too much of a bully. They only gave us two bowls of rotten rice and a small plate of vegetable stems. Even if these vegetables were given to a dog, it would despise them!"

Rong Pei curled her lips in dissatisfaction. Although her life in Xinzheku was hard, at least the food was not so bad. At least she had enough rice.

Unexpectedly, Ruyi didn't look annoyed, but rather complacent. "The more they make things difficult for me, the more it shows that they regard me as a thorn in their side. Rong Pei, there is one thing you don't know, right? When the emperor was selecting concubines, he originally wanted me to be his legitimate wife, but who would have thought that my aunt happened to have an accident, so the queen took over. I don't believe it. If it weren't for the queen's instruction, how dare the Ministry of Internal Affairs treat me so harshly? Even if I am in trouble again, I am still the concubine of the current emperor, the only legal wife in his mind. I am not like those people outside, helpless and unable to make a name for themselves."

This was the first time Rong Pei had heard of such a thing. Her eyes were full of curiosity, which made Ruyi very happy.

Ruyi was eagerly waiting for Rong Pei's praise. Rong Pei thought for a long time, and finally said with difficulty: "Our master is really smart!"

Ruyi smiled with satisfaction, and then she picked up a bowl of rotten rice on each side, put it to her nose and smelled it, then handed the bowl with the stronger smell to Rong Pei, smiling lovingly, "Here, Rong Pei, this bowl is for you. I guess you are starving! Only when you are full will you have the strength to continue working hard!"

Rong Pei was moved and took the stale rice handed to her by Ruyi. She saw her hands twitching, and she skillfully held the chopsticks to pick and choose in the plate. After picking out the tenderer leaves, she left a few old leaf stems that were too old to chew for Rong Pei.

After Ruyi finished her meal, she stood in front of the window like a madman who was aloof and untouchable and out of touch with the world. She was inspired to recite the familiar poem "On the Wall Horse".

"Shaking mushrooms, egg sausages, Your Majesty, when this cold palace is full of mushrooms, you can come and take me back in person, okay?"
