Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Jia Ling's Double Rebirth, Creates a Great Success
Chapter 42: A Ruo takes the blame for Rong Pei (1)
Ling Yunche took the things given by Ruyi and went to the Ministry of Punishment.
This was his first time entering the Ministry of Punishment.
In the dark and damp cell, the air was filled with the smell of damp and mold. Dim torches flickered on the walls, and the firelight cast distorted shadows on the damp walls.
Occasionally, the wailing and painful groans of a tortured woman could be heard.
Rong Pei was being beaten with chopsticks at this time. She bent over, with her hands on her toes, supporting herself with difficulty. The pain in her lower abdomen surged like a tide, torturing her.
It was only early spring, but Rong Pei's sweat was still dripping down.
When Nanny Jingqi saw that Rong Pei had relaxed a little, she whipped her with a board.
When Ling Yunche found Rong Pei, she was lying on the ground vomiting. When she saw Ling Yunche coming, she thought it was Empress Xian who wanted to take her out, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
But when Ling Yunche took out something, his eyes dimmed.
"Rong Pei, Empress Xian knows that you have been wronged and are depressed, so she specially asked me to bring you some soapberries."
Rong Pei took the box from Ling Yunche's hand. She no longer had the strength to open it. Her face was pale as she asked:
"Did Empress Xian say when she could pick me up?"
Ling Yunche sighed, "Empress Xian said that your case concerns the reputation of the harem, and she asked you to be as patient as this cold and hardy soapberry. She also said that you are not innocent and decent now, and asked you to go back with a clean and decent appearance."
Rong Pei's heart, which had just been ignited with hope, sank again. Her master not only wanted her to be patient, but also wanted him to keep her innocence.
But why, why can the master avoid the dust and be clean in white when she does something wrong? Even though she is in the midst of a storm, she can sit safely in the Yikun Palace and watch her being punished in the Ministry of Punishment, detached from the world.
Rong Pei closed her eyes. She would rather believe that her master was powerless and could not save her.
Suddenly, she thought, why was Ling Yunche able to stay out of the matter? The poison was clearly bought by Ling Yunche.
"Ling Yunche, if the master asks you to enter the Ministry of Punishment, can you come in?"
Ling Yunche was a little proud. He said, "Empress Xian has already asked for a career as an imperial guard for me. I'm already working in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. I think I've lived up to our friendship in the cold palace."
Rong Pei felt so cold. Ling Yunche had only helped his master sell things a few times, and his master made him a royal guard.
It turned out that it wasn't that the master was incapable, but that he just didn't want to save her.
Rong Pei hugged herself tightly and closed her eyes.
"Go away, Ling Yunche, go back and tell the master that I will not betray her."
This is her principle. She promised her master that she would not betray him, so she would keep her mouth shut. But her heart has already turned cold and can never be warmed up again.
Ling Yunche got a positive answer and did not linger for long. He also felt that the Ministry of Punishment was extremely scary. He put down the box of soapberries and turned to leave.
After Ling Yunche left, the Jingqi Madam from the Ministry of Punishment muttered:
"It's Empress Xian's people again. I can't even remember how many palace maids she has sent to the Ministry of Punishment. Look, there's another one who's been in the palace twice."
"But you are lucky. She let someone in to see you. The first person who came in had to crawl back out after being tortured."
"The second one was relatively lucky. I almost broke her leg because she wanted Concubine Xian to come in, but Concubine Jia saved her. She is now a maid in Qixiang Palace."
"I don't know what Empress Xian is reincarnated into. Everyone around her has to come here to suffer. If I have the chance, I really want to meet her."
Nanny Jingqi's words woke up A Ruo, who had fainted from torture inside the cell door.
She had been in the Ministry of Punishment for ten days. During these ten days,惢心 came to see her several times, but she asked Nanny Jingqi to refuse them all. She didn't want to implicate惢心 and Concubine Jia anymore.
She is now doomed to die, but she doesn't want to be a scapegoat for others, and doesn't want Ruyi to have an easy time. She suspects that Ruyi herself put the arsenic in the poison.
Just now, Nanny Jingqi said that the person in front of her who was being tortured by being restrained with a board was also Ruyi's maid. That should be Rong Pei who suffered in the cold palace with her.
She hadn't had a drink of water for several days, which was also one of the punishments of the Ministry of Punishment. She tried to open her cracked lips, revealing half of her missing teeth:
"Rong Pei, are you Rong Pei?"
Rong Pei turned around in surprise and found that someone recognized her. The woman in front of her looked disheveled, and her prison uniform was stained with blood.
"you are?"
Ah Ruo sneered. She didn't know how she got the strength back. "I am... the Ah Ruo they said was the second time she entered the palace. I am your master's maidservant who came with her as a concubine and the one who set the cold palace on fire."
Rong Pei did not hate Ah Ruo. Instead, she felt a deep sympathy for her. Ah Ruo was also a pitiful person. She did not scold Ah Ruo, but asked with concern:
"Miss A Ruo, how are you? I see you are in a very bad condition."
A'ruo was also stunned for a moment. This Rong Pei was actually sober and did not attribute her being sent to the Ministry of Punishment. She originally wanted to laugh at Rong Pei, but after hearing what Rong Pei said, she felt guilty.
"I am a dying man. I am alive only to see Ruyi's fate. Why did you go to the Ministry of Punishment?"
Rong Pei saw that Nanny Jingqi had gone to the side to drink water, and then she whispered to Ah Ruo, "The arsenic incident was staged by my master and I. The emperor already had some suspicions, so he asked me to enter the Ministry of Punishment to prove my master's innocence."
Ah Ruo laughed loudly, and in her laughter there was pain, sadness, grievance and hatred.
"Hahahahaha, as expected, the emperor and Ruyi are truly a match made in heaven. In order to prove Ruyi's innocence, he sent her maid to the Ministry of Punishment. In this world, only the emperor can say such nonsense. Doesn't our lives matter?"
Rong Pei was awakened by A Ruo's words. Yes, their lives, aren't they lives? Sacrificing their health and their lives just to prove the innocence of their master, this is the game of the superiors, just the bad taste of the superiors.
A Ruo added: "Ulanara is still so useless. No, she has no heart at all. If she wanted, she could have saved us at the cost of her life, but she let us suffer and let us serve as stepping stones for her innocence and dignity. How can she be innocent? She is extremely hypocritical!"
Rong Pei looked at A Ruo. Her sympathy for her had suppressed her fear of being tortured. This woman, who was obviously ten years younger than herself, was only in her twenties, but she had been tortured to the point of being neither human nor ghost, and was close to madness.
She wanted to comfort Ah Ruo. She stretched out her sore hand and touched Ah Ruo's messy hair.
"A Ruo, you can only take revenge and be proud if you live well."
Ah Ruo smiled bitterly again, sighed with all her might, and said: …
