Chapter 385 The Death of Rufei continued
The days when the emperor came to the harem gradually became less and less, and the friendship between Rufei and the noble concubine gradually became deeper.
She told the imperial concubine about her relationship with the imperial guard. The imperial concubine's heart froze, remembering what she had said that day when she was chatting with the noble person she was friends with.
The imperial concubine once again warned Ru Fei, "Hansong, if you can trust my sister, just listen to her advice and never interact with this imperial guard again in the future, even though he came from Suzhou together with you."
Seeing the serious look on the imperial concubine's face, Rufei nodded solemnly, even though it was difficult to accept it for a moment.
It's so lonely in this deep palace. Apart from playing with the children, reading, reading poems, and writing, there is no sparkle in my life like a concubine.
In the beginning, Rufei could remember the concubine's words and not interact with the imperial guards. But as time went by, two people with the same background and mentored by the same great scholar became like two magnets, able to feel each other even though they were far apart.
each other.
Rufei always liked to read on the swing in the corner of the imperial garden. Once the swing was broken and she reported it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs many times but no one came to repair it.
Unexpectedly, the thoughtful imperial guard noticed this little thing. In his spare time, he took a wooden board and hammer with him and patiently repaired the swing.
Unexpectedly, this scene was seen by the emperor who happened to be passing by, and his face suddenly turned pale.
In this way, the emperor slapped him fifty times for dereliction of duty and demoted his position.
After the imperial concubine learned about this, the first thing she thought of was Concubine Ru. Could it be that the relationship between Concubine Ru and the guards was discovered by the emperor?
She thought that she couldn't rest assured, so she spent some money to bribe the apprentice of the emperor's personal eunuch at that time, that is, Li Fuquan.
The imperial concubine bribed Li Fuquan and wanted to know how the guard entered the palace and why he entered the palace. She was afraid that the guard had some inappropriate thoughts towards Concubine Ru.
The result that frightened the imperial concubine the most was not found, but the truth that frightened the imperial concubine even more was found.
The person who brought this guard into the palace was none other than the queen's brother.
It turns out that this was all planned by Huo Lianjun!
Only then did the imperial concubine realize that Huo Lianjun wanted Lu Hansong's life!
At that moment, the imperial concubine couldn't tell how she felt. In short, she couldn't sleep at night and couldn't eat.
Later, when the imperial concubine recalled the past, she realized that at that moment, she was truly worried about Hansong.
But so what, the knife didn't fall on her body. Just like that, the imperial concubine didn't tell Concubine Ru about this matter.
Even until her death, Concubine Ru did not understand that every ounce of enthusiasm she devoted in this imperial city was only exchanged for hypocrisy and submissive care.
Regardless of whether they were maids or eunuchs who were of a higher status than herself, or maids and eunuchs who were of a much lower status than herself, Rufei treated them equally. Once, her warmth shone like the winter sun in the unknown dark corners of the palace.
When Ru Concubine's child reached the age of studying at the prince's school, Ru Concubine had to separate from the child. Gold shines wherever it goes. Sheng Xiujing, who was several years younger than the eldest prince and the second prince, came up from behind.
Whether it is reciting poems and composing poems, or wielding swords and sticks, Sheng Xiujing is the most outstanding among the princes!
Even the eldest prince born to the queen was compared with him. The prince's wife praised Sheng Xiujing's outstanding talent in front of the emperor more than once.
Emperor Longyan was so pleased that he even praised Sheng Xiujing in front of all the officials for having the same style as before.
The queen, Huo Lianjun, was so anxious that she began to rush to the shelves. While busy making money for the Huo family, she was also busy urging the eldest prince to study.
The eldest prince was still at a playful age and could not calm down to study, so he had a big quarrel with Huo Lianjun. They couldn't argue, so he could only run to the corner and cry by himself.
At that time, the imperial concubine and Concubine Ru were walking side by side in the imperial garden. Suddenly they heard the cry of children. They were all people with children. They went to check and saw the eldest prince squatting in the corner and crying alone.
Unable to bear it, they comforted the eldest prince softly and coaxed him to eat. The eldest prince was still asleep in the palace of the noble concubine.
After this time, whenever Huo Lianjun forced the eldest prince to study again, the eldest prince would compare her with Concubine Ru. In the words of the young eldest prince, "If Concubine Ru is smart, the children born will naturally be smart, but the concubine is stupid.
It is natural that he is stupid. He cannot compare with Sheng Xiujing in studying and practicing martial arts. It is natural and right that his mother should not be smarter than the concubine."
These words made Huo Lianjun's nose twist with anger.
Unbeknownst to Concubine Ru, Huo Lianjun was even more resentful towards her. As time went by, Huo Lianjun had more chips in his hands, and she couldn't help but expose her greedy desires.
It was the summer of the 65th year of Dashun. Huo Lianjun took action and framed Rufei's mother clan, the Lu family, for a series of crimes including collaborating with the enemy and treason, embezzling official taxes, and illegally borrowing money.
The force of thunder is unstoppable.
The Lu family didn't even have a chance to save themselves, but they were caught off guard by the evidence found by the imperial guards sent by the emperor.
In anger, the emperor imprisoned more than twenty members of the Lu family and sold all the Lu family's slaves.
Thinking of Rufei, the emperor never made up his mind and kept hesitating.
The queen almost broke her teeth. No one could stop her from what Huo Lianjun wanted to do!
In this way, she asked the secret guards raised by the Huo family to poison Lu Daru to death. The poison was not a poison in Dashun, so the coroner who performed the autopsy on Lu Daru had no idea that he was poisoned to death.
Lu Daru died, Ru Fei almost went blind with tears, Sheng Xiujing also knelt in front of the emperor to plead for mercy, but the ministers in the court were forcing the emperor to make a decision on the Lu family's rebellion, and he did not dare to look back.
Look at this poor kid.
Sheng Xiujing could only let Sheng Xiujing cry and faint in the main hall.
The emperor was so distraught that he did not dare to see Concubine Ru. Concubine Ru was wearing mourning clothes and knelt down at the door of the royal study. It seemed to reflect the sadness, as it started to rain heavily.
The queen secretly made a stumbling block and did not allow anyone to hold an umbrella for Concubine Ru. Only the guard who had been favored by Concubine Ru stood in the rain and held an umbrella for her all night.
The queen's face was twisted with anger. At this time, there was actually someone standing on Lu Hansong's side.
She became even more cruel and ruthless. One night, she bribed the servants in Ru Fei's palace, replaced Ru Fei's usual soothing incense with incense, and sent the drugged guards to her palace.
How could this happen without anyone witnessing it? The queen asked the little eunuch to lead the emperor to Concubine Ru's palace. By coincidence, she happened upon Concubine Ru and her guards lying together!
The emperor was so angry that he killed the guard on the spot with a sword, and severely slapped Concubine Ru who did not react.
In this way, all the Lu family were executed, and all the slaves originally purchased were exiled to the frontier.
But despite this, Rufei was not relegated to the cold palace.
The queen thought that what she did was perfect, but she didn't know that the imperial concubine had completely witnessed her conspiracy.
