The thing in Bai Ruiji's hand that was shining with silver light was actually a long whip.

In a flash, Bai Ruiji's first whip hit Ruyi's hand hard, knocking off the armor accurately.

Ruyi covered her hand in pain, revealing a ferocious look: "How could you do this in broad daylight?"

Bai Ruiji said coldly: "The first whip will hit your armor that has long been a joke in the palace. What a bullshit respectability, do you have it? How many people have lost their lives and their futures for your illusory respectability."

Ruyi crossed her thick black fingers in front of her face and whispered:

"I have never hurt anyone, and I have a clear conscience..."

Bai Ruiji's words were like a thunderbolt, striking Ruyi's heart again:

"What about A-Ruo? Do you have a clear conscience?"

Ruyi said without hesitation:

"That was because Ah Ruo was blinded by greed and had thoughts that she shouldn't have, and she had to stand up and quarrel with others."

Bai Ruiji mercilessly whipped Ruyi with the whip for the second time, hitting her left arm directly. "Snap!"

"The second whip is for your double-dealing and hypocrisy. You are sanctimonious and talk about etiquette and shame. You even pay homage to eunuchs without any roots, but you look down on the maid you grew up with. Why shouldn't Ah Ruo have such thoughts? What's wrong with her wanting to fight for what she deserves?"

Ruyi didn't expect that Bai Ruiji would misunderstand her like this. She never looked down on A Ruo. She was just scolding A Ruo for wanting things that she shouldn't have.

"I didn't say Ah Ruo was wrong. I originally wanted to give her a stable and peaceful life, but she always offended people and was restless. She ended up like this. Was that what I wanted?"

Bai Ruiji sneered, "People come to this world to live in peace and contentment? Kings, princes, generals and ministers are not of the same kind. What does it mean to live in contentment? If everyone is as frustrated and cowardly as you, it would be better to just die!"

Ruyi pouted. Arruo was her maid, so why couldn't she listen to her and not be so competitive?

She thought that since A Ruo left, she had never found someone who could serve her so easily.

The maids that came after her were of lower status than the last, which made her lose face.

Bai Ruiji looked at Ruyi's pouting mouth, gathered her strength, and fiercely whipped her for the third time.

"The third whip is for you, the pouty one! You pout all the time. I warned you ten years ago not to pout. Now you are old and you still pout. Who are you pretending to be innocent for? Which of the things the emperor punished you for was unjust to you?"

The third whip was so powerful that it left a bloody mark on Ruyi's right arm.

Ruyi's eyes were filled with tears. She had meant well to add makeup to Jingyu, but Meipin targeted her. Who was it that had been trying to sow discord between them?

Ruyi's voice finally carried a hint of grief and indignation. She couldn't help but ask:

"Princess Mei, why do you always think I'm pretending? You also have children. My Yongji was plotted away by Concubine Jia, Concubine Ling, and Lu Muping. My Jingsi was plotted away by the Queen and Concubine Yu. I'm also a victim. Why do you only make things difficult for me?"

Bai Ruiji sneered. Even she, an orphan with no family and no education, could understand this truth. But it was really a joke that Ulanara Ruyi, who claimed to be a noble lady from an aristocratic family, had made no progress in all these years.

Bai Ruiji looked around, seeing the bare walls of the Yikun Palace side hall and Concubine Xian cowering like a turtle, and she suddenly asked:

"Do you really think that they are the ones who harmed you?"

Outside the Yiku Palace, the red walls were covered with white snow. The north wind was blowing across the ground, blowing up snow flakes and wrapping Concubine Mei in the snow mist, making it difficult for Ruyi to see clearly.

Ruyi trembled and answered: "If it's not them, then who else could it be?"

Bai Ruiji swung the whip hard in the air for the last time:

"It was this cannibalistic harem that locked us all up here! The difference is that some people chose to stick together and fight against everything here, but you chose to obey them and harm others and yourself!"

Bai Ruiji put away the whip, turned around and looked at the layers of red walls that were of different heights. It was truly an extremely exquisite cage.

She smiled faintly, her eyes were sharp yet gentle, and seemed to contain tears.

"I called you stupid today. You are stupid, but who hasn't been stupid before? Back then, I also thought that with my beauty, I could at least gain the emperor's true love.

But in the end, everyone is just a delicate toy in the emperor's heart. When he likes her, he holds her in his hands and dresses her up as the doll he wants. When he is unhappy, he leaves her aside and lets her fend for herself. "

Ruyi squatted down, hugged her arms, and left herself to fend for herself. Wasn't she now being left in the Yikun Palace to fend for herself?

If it were in the past, she could still deceive herself that the emperor was deliberately not making enemies for her, but losing Yongji was too painful. If the emperor loved her, how could he bear to let her go?

Ruyi felt very cold. The north wind seemed to have penetrated into her internal organs. She had never felt so cold before.

Bai Ruiji used a whip to lift Ruyi's chin and said coldly:

"You desperately want the emperor's unique love and the most special place in his heart, but I tell you, the emperor has a cold and indifferent personality. His love is worth less than the snow on the ground. No one cares about it!"

Ruyi stared with red eyes, she thought of the deer blood wine incident, when the emperor punished her with the beating of the board.

Later, she found out she was pregnant, and the emperor demoted her to a noble lady, which made her depressed. Therefore, Jingsi was in such poor health when he was born.

And Yongji, it was because the emperor withheld her share of the allowance, leaving her with no gold or silver to pray for Yongji, that he was born with a hoarse voice and a dull personality.

But the emperor blamed all of this on her. He was so cold and indifferent. It was indeed because of the emperor's coldness.

Looking at each other, only disappointment remains. How can you grow old together with such cold and indifferent people?

The snow on the eaves collapsed with a sound as the north wind howled, and fell on the steps of the side hall.

Bai Ruiji put away the whip and walked into the white snow, leaving only cold words behind. She said:

"I don't care whether you continue to play dumb or behave yourself after today. Anyway, before Jingyu's return to her parents' home is over, you are not allowed to step out of Yikun Palace. Otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you."

Ruyi had just seen clearly the emperor's coldness, and she really wanted to find someone to talk to, someone who could allow her to vent her frustration.

Even if it was Bai Ruiji who had just beaten her.

She stretched out her hand and murmured, "Don't go, don't go."

Bai Ruiji's figure gradually walked away and disappeared at the palace gate.

The Yikun Palace fell into silence again.

In the veranda room, Qiu Wen, curled up in a ball under a thin quilt, loudly asked San Bao next door:

"Sanbao, did you hear any sound?"

Sanbao opened his mouth and a cloud of white air came out of his mouth:

"Qiu Wen, don't worry about the sound. We'll be lucky if we don't freeze to death!"

Sanbao turned over and put all the clothes on the kang on himself.

"Qiu Wen, have you forgotten? I heard a noise before and went to check it out, but I ended up having to help the master wash the feces off his body. So, no matter what the noise is, we just have to ignore it."

Qiu Wen nodded, and the veranda room fell into dead silence.

On the second day after Ruyi was beaten, the news was spread throughout the six palaces in the east and west through a small box.

Ruyi's gift once again confirmed Yihuan's previous guess. Everyone wondered whether Ruyi would go to the Imperial Garden to steal plum blossoms again in winter.

On Jingyu's wedding day, everyone gathered in Yonghe Palace to see her off. Jin Yuyan had watched Jingyu grow up, and the dowry she gave was the most substantial, which was a thick stack of silver bills.

Jingyu was no longer surprised by Lady Jia's generosity. She hugged Jin Yuyan and said in a low voice:

"Empress Jia, I am your only daughter. After I leave the palace, can you ask her to talk with you more often?"

Jin Yuyan's eyes were moist and she lowered her head and agreed.

She glanced at Concubine Wan, who was surrounded by Yongxuan, Yongji and Yongyan and was too busy to handle everything, and thought to herself, this is easy, just call Xiaobai to look after the child together!

After Lujun returned to the palace, she enthusiastically described to Yongzhang and Guihong the incident of Concubine Xian being whipped by Concubine Mei.

The mother and son told Guihong the story of Yongzhang's words "I beat you with a steel whip".

This gave Yongzhang another inspiration.

In the latest episode of "The Legend of Ruhua", Miss Zhu Ruhua not only has an affair with the guards at home, but also falls in love with Jin Sanlang's passionate concubine.

Just because of that aunt, Zhu Ruhua had a different experience.
