Chapter 44 Toys
The bodyguard pressed the knife and did not move. "I am ordered to take care of the guilty woman, and I am not allowed to leave without the will of the emperor."
"Your Highness, beat him." Chu Ruoxi was very good at calling the third prince to get up.
Yang Yiping said, "Good." Go straight to the bodyguard.
The bodyguard is no better than the eunuch. He is agile, and Yang Yiping's punches failed. But he didn't dare to fight back. While dodging, he begged, "Your Highness is merciful. I didn't offend Your Highness."
"It's so much about you. If Sister Ruoxi said she wanted to beat you, I'll beat you."
“......”
At the moment when Yang Yiping asked Chu Ruoxi who they were, she looked as if she had been struck by lightning, with a gloomy look and her eyes were sad.
She looked up at Chu Ruoxi, as if thinking.
"Your Highness, His Highness..." Aunt Holland's words were interrupted by Princess Li's gentle wave of her hand.
She seemed to say something to Chu Ruoxi, and seemed to be talking to herself, "I made mistakes and have my own palace rules. Why do I have to take action? It's a small matter to hurt my body and lose my identity."
"The master is the master. Only by beat the evil slave with his own hands can he relieve his hatred." Chu Ruoxi looked at Yang Yiping, "Your Highness, beat him hard and let him know who is the master."
After saying that, he took a look at Concubine Li and said casually, "Those things that fight for human power should be killed."
The corners of Lifei's mouth raised and said no to Chu Ruoxi. She looked at Yang Yiping's figure, suppressed her turbulent feelings, and couldn't help moving out a little.
He wanted to remember something, but his footsteps stopped abruptly, his eyes were full of sadness, and he withdrew.
Chu Ruoxi guessed that she had some scruples. She sympathized with the loser in her heart and called Yang Yiping back. Seeing the fine sweat on his nose, he couldn't help wiping the veil away. "Your Highness, eat something first when you are hungry."
The little eunuch was a little embarrassed, "Your Highness, where is the little master eating?"
Chu Ruoxi smiled, "Of course it's at... the dining table."
When Li Fei saw that Chu Ruoxi asked the eunuch to move the food to her inner courtyard, she knew her kindness, but the man knew that the Third Highness had come to the cold palace, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
She said to Chu Ruoxi, "Your Highness and the girl are the nobles of the nine palaces, and Tiangong Yaochi should be the place you should go. Caiwei Palace is a place rejected by the emperor. It's too deserted. Please find another place to eat.
Chu Ruoxi asked Yang Yiping, "Are you hungry?"
Yang Yiping nodded.
Chu Ruoxi smiled innocently at Concubine Li, "Your Highness is hungry, so I can only do it first."
The corners of Lifei's mouth moved, and she looked at the Third Highness standing on one side and only looking at Chu Ruoxi, there was a trace of bitterness in her heart: it turned out that what the bitch said was true, and her son really...
She turned around and looked at the sky. It was difficult to hide the sadness in her eyes. The previous momentum was as if it had been eliminated by something, and her back was a little cring. She silently walked back to the inner room and no longer looked back.
Chu Ruoxi grabbed a chicken leg and stuffed it into Yang Yiping's hand and pulled him away. He said to the guard guard of the door, "Your Highness is full. Take good care of it. Even a mosquito can't fly in. Otherwise, I will tell the emperor to treat your major crime of dereliction of duty and send it to the violent room for hard labor."
The bodyguard only asked these two little bullies to leave quickly. How dare there be half a no.
Chu Ruoxi took Yang Yiping to find the emperor to avoid death cards. What happened in the cold palace must have reached the ears of the emperor and the queen as quickly. She has taught Yang Yiping what to say. At that time, even if the emperor is unhappy, he will pass at most for the poor sake of this stupid son.
As for the queen...
After so many years of cleaning the harem, Chu Ruoxi felt that she should let her aunt come out to make trouble and help Emperor Yongle add some trouble.
Yang Yiping had no impression of Lifei, but he said to himself that when he was a child, his head broke his blood. He did not dislike him and cried that he must be saved by the imperial doctor.
Chu Ruoxi raised his eyebrows slightly and secretly looked at Yang Yiping, who was beside him. He secretly suspected that he was in the cold palace and almost ignored the existence of Concubine Li, which was unreasonable.
He is a fool. Even if he doesn't know Concubine Li, he will be more or less curious about Concubine Li, but he hasn't even looked straight once, which seems to be deliberately avoiding suspicion.
Is he really pretending? It's so clumsy.
Although Emperor Yongle was angry about the cold palace between the two of them, he scolded them and took it lightly, which surprised Chu Ruoxi.
The queen is not so easy to explain.
In the warm pavilion of Fengyi Palace, the queen Feng's eyes were angry, and Chu Ruoxi obediently bowed her head and admitted her mistake.
The queen's face was full of hatred, "Ruoxi, it's not that I don't mention you. Look at what you have done."
"Mother, the little lady is also innocent, and everything is capricious..."
M Mother Zhang pleaded with Chu Ruoxi in exchange for the queen's cold eyes.
"Yang Yiping is a fool. Are you also a fool? If you don't stay by Zheng'er's side, but go to make a scene in the cold palace with a fool and do such a deviant thing, how can you be worthy of the name of your crown princess?
The queen slapped on the table, and the jade bracelet on her wrist made a crisp sound.
"Ruoxi is wrong, please don't be angry."
Chu Ruoxi sobbed in a low voice, very wronged.
"Ruoxi, do you know what's wrong with you?"
Chu Ruoxi whispered, "Ruoxi is too wayward to go to the cold palace to eat and break the palace rules..."
Is that right? Ruoxi, you are the niece of my palace and the daughter-in-law of this palace. Sooner or later, this Fengyi Palace is you, but I would like to remind you that if you sympathize with her, you are digging your own grave. Only God knows whether to stay in Fengyi Palace or somewhere else in the future!"
The queen's words shocked Chu Ruoxi. She knelt at her feet and cried, "Ruoxi is stupid. Fortunately, her aunt woke up with her words. Ruoxi must keep it in mind and dare not forget her aunt's teachings today."
"I hope so. Fengyi Palace is magnificent and full of blessings. Everyone is jealous. My aunt can protect you for a while and can't protect you for a lifetime." The queen helped Chu Ruoxi, "You are not young. You should take care of yourself and pay more attention to the prince."
Chu Ruoxi's face turned red and she lowered her head, "Ruoxi knows."
The queen looked tired and stroked Chu Ruoxi's hand. "It's good to know. It's getting late. I'll send you back to Qingyao Palace and rest early."
There is a young man standing under the moon shadow outside Fengyi Palace. When he saw her come out, he was very happy, "sister Ruoxi, you finally came out."
Chu Ruoxi was confused and was thinking about how to get into the dormitory of Zhengde Hall to look for the clues left by the seven royal brothers. Seeing Yang Yiping, she raised her eyebrows and had a plan.
"Your Highness, why are you here? If the emperor doesn't punish you, you should stay in the Zhengde Hall.
"I... I'm worried that my mother will hit you."
Yang Yiping's appearance moved Chu Ruoxi a little. He couldn't hate him at once. "Let's go, don't stand here stupidly, even if the empress punishes me. You can't do anything standing here?"
"No, I brought medicine." Yang Yiping took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and smiled proudly, "It won't hurt if you put it on."
Chu Ruoxi took the small porcelain bottle and Zhimo coughed easily, "Miss, it's time for you to go back."
Chu Ruoxi awkwardly handed the porcelain bottle to Zhimo, "I know, let's go."
Yang Yiping wanted to keep up, but Zhimo winked at him and motioned him not to keep up.
"sister Ruoxi." Yang Yiping only hopes to accompany Chu Ruoxi.
Chu Ruoxi looked back at him, didn't say anything, and moved gently to Qingyao Palace.
"Miss, the third highness is still at the gate of the palace and refuses to leave. This is not polite. If it comes to the ears of the emperor and the prince, I'm afraid it will damage the lady's reputation."
Zhimo helped Chu Ruoxi put down his bun and told her about Yang Yiping wandering in front of the palace gate.
Chu Ruoxi sighed quietly, "Zimo, go and invite Your Highness to come in."
"Miss, this... this lonely man and woman is in the inner courtyard of the palace, this..."
"Go ahead, are you afraid that people will say that I am so stupid that I don't like His Royal Highness, but I like a fool?"
Chu Ruoxi stood in the long porch of the palace, looking at the stars in the sky, her eyebrows were deeply locked, and her long eyelashes could not hide the sadness in her eyes.
"Miss, Your Highness is here."
Yang Yiping looked at Chu Ruoxi and his face became heavy. "Sister Ruoxi, did your mother scold you? Don't be sad. I'll give you this game."
He took out a sign from his arms, and Chu Ruoxi took a look and was shocked. This was the sign given by the emperor.
"Where did you get this?"
"It's not funny to lie." Yang Yiping was very disappointed. "My father also said that this was very powerful. No matter who saw me, he could not bully me, but you didn't look afraid at all when you saw it."
Chu Ruoxi hurriedly winked at Zhimo, and Zhimo knelt down. "See your majesty, long live my emperor."
Chu Ruoxi will not kneel to the sign of Emperor Yongle. Put it away quickly. This is very powerful, but it can't be used for fun.
Yang Yiping was very unhappy, "I didn't play. My father said that no one dared to bully me with this. If I gave it to you, my mother would not scold you."
Chu Ruoxi looked into Yang Yiping's eyes. She really wanted to see something from his eyes. Didn't Yongle Emperor not like this stupid son? Why did you give him the gold medal "like my presence"?
Is he really stupid and intends to give the brand to himself, or does he know that the back of the brand is also engraved with his name Yang Yiping, and others can't use it at all?
Knowing that this brand was given to him privately by Emperor Yongle today, Chu Ruoxi said to him seriously:
"Your Highness, you must listen to me. The gold medal is not a plaything. You have to collect it well. You can't take it out unless you have to, okay?"
Seeing that he nodded as if he didn't understand, Chu Ruoxi was a little helpless. This was an amulet given to him by Emperor Yongle, and also a fatal amulet given to him by Emperor Yongle. Let the queen know that he had this thing. I'm afraid that he might die in Zhengde Hall tomorrow.
Chu Ruoxi didn't ask for Yang Yiping's gold medal and drank two cups of tea with him. His eyes became more and more sleepy, and he finally fell on the table and fell asleep.
Chu Ruoxi called several times, but only his subtle breath really fell asleep.
The poison of the ecstasy will not wake up for a while. She secretly exhaled, "Yang Yiping, you can sleep in my Qingyao Palace for a while. When I finish my work, I will give you the antidote and send you back to Zhengde Hall."
