Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 452: Does Concubine Liang think I am a fool?

After knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered, Ruoli's face was full of anger!

Your Majesty is one of the four concubines, how dare these guards do that? !

Moreover, the queen had such a kind heart. When she was helping to manage the six palaces, she never treated any palace servant badly. The eunuch yesterday knew how to remember the queen's kindness.

These guards are not even as good as eunuchs!

Ruoli had no choice but to return to Concubine Liang, tears falling down her cheeks: "My Lady, how do you feel now?"

"Those guards are going too far! Wuwuwu..."

Concubine Liang was dazed when she heard Ruoli's voice and opened her eyes reluctantly: "Don't cry, I, I won't be in the way..."

Even if the guards followed Concubine Liu's order to lock her up here, they would never dare to let anything happen to her.

Now he just felt that the situation was not serious, so he ignored Ruoli's plea.

That's fine too.

The worse her condition was, the more it highlighted Concubine Liu's domineering nature.

"My lady..."

Ruoli wrapped Concubine Liang tightly with a quilt and wanted to give her some water, but found that the teapot from yesterday was empty.

She wiped away her tears and continued to rush to the door and knock on it.

Unfortunately... no matter how she shouted, the guards remained indifferent.

Doorway.

The guards originally thought that this was a self-torture trick by Concubine Liang, so they ignored Ruoli.

Otherwise, if they can't even handle such a small task assigned by the Imperial Concubine, what future do they have in the palace?

But unexpectedly, Ruoli kept knocking on the door from inside, crying so sincerely, with her tone full of anger and worry.

Gradually, the guards' expressions became hesitant.

Two of them looked at each other and said, "...Since His Majesty has punished her by making her kneel first, it is not a big deal for the Imperial Concubine to lock the Imperial Concubine up in there for three days and let her suffer a little."

"But no matter what, the one inside is also Concubine Liang. If something really happens, Concubine Gui will be fine, but we will be the ones to suffer..."

One of them was silent for a while, then frowned and said, "You guys continue to guard here, I'll go to Yongshou Palace to ask the Imperial Concubine for instructions."

"Yes!"

however……

When the guard rushed to Yongshou Palace, Concubine Liu had already gone to Cining Palace to discuss with Empress Dowager Liu about Liu Shizhang being "exiled" to the frontier, and she had not returned yet.

The news finally reached Xiaohuazi.

"…Eunuch Hua, do you want to open the gate of Qin'an Palace and let Concubine Liang go back to Changchun Palace to see the imperial physician?"

Xiao Huazi was the new one who took over after Xiao Weizi's accident. She had not been Concubine Liu's confidant as long as Cui Zhu, and of course, she was not as trusted by Concubine Liu as she was.

Xiao Huazi has always been looking for an opportunity to show off in front of Concubine Liu, and now he has finally waited for it!

He knew very well how much the Imperial Concubine hated the Concubine Liang because of the seizure of power in the six palaces. If the Concubine Liang was let off so easily, how could the Imperial Concubine swallow this anger?

Of course, even if Xiao Huazi wanted to please the Imperial Concubine, he would not take the responsibility on himself. He just said, "It's only been one day, and there's still a long way to go before three days."

"We already know about this. When the Imperial Concubine returns, we will report it to her."

The implication is that there is no need to pay attention to Ruoli now, and no one will die in the short term.

The guards received instructions and left.

After Concubine Liu came back, Xiao Huazi respectfully reported everything.

As expected, Concubine Liu frowned in disgust as soon as she heard this: "She was given such a thick quilt, and she still caught a cold? Does Concubine Liang think I'm a fool?"

Xiao Huazi immediately said, "My lady, I feel the same way."

In addition, Concubine Liu was worried about Liu Shizhang's affairs, so she had no time to care about Concubine Liang. She waved her hand casually and said, "You did a good job on this matter. I must teach Concubine Liang a lesson!"

"No one will die if you keep him there for two more days, so don't bother me with this anymore!"

Xiao Huazi said respectfully: "Yes!"

……

Qin'an Hall.

They had already reported to Yongshou Palace that Concubine Liang had a high fever. Concubine Gui refused to release her, so even if Concubine Liang really had an accident, it was not their responsibility.

The guards felt relieved and ignored Ruoli no matter how she knocked on the door.

Ruoli had no choice but to go back and continue taking care of Concubine Liang.

Forget medicine, there is not even hot water. What is the Queen going to do...

Not long after, a young eunuch carrying a food box came over and was stopped by the guards.

"The Imperial Concubine has ordered that only water may be delivered in for the next two days!"

The young eunuch lowered his head and opened the food box: "There is only water, no food."

The guard checked and saw that there was indeed only a teapot and two cups in the food box, so he waved his hand and said, "Go in, put the things in and come out."

"Yes!"

Seeing someone coming in, Ruoli quickly looked up, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "It's you?!"

It was the little eunuch who brought food to her and the queen yesterday!

The young eunuch put down the food box, then took out an oil-paper bag from his arms and said in a low voice, "Miss Ruoli, there is hot water in the food box. I secretly brought a bag of snacks in."

"After you and the queen have finished eating, hide the paper that wrapped the snacks. I will come again tomorrow and find a way to bring you some food then."

Ruoli grabbed the last straw, tugging at the eunuch's sleeve and said, "The queen has a high fever. If she is locked up here any longer, she won't be able to bear it!"

"The Imperial Concubine won't let the Empress go. You should think of a way to help tell His Majesty the news! Okay? When the Empress gets out, you will be rewarded handsomely!"

The young eunuch didn't dare to look up at Concubine Liang. He thought that Concubine Liang didn't get enough rest last night and was still resting. He didn't expect that she had a high fever.

A cold can kill people! How can this be allowed?!

The young eunuch said quickly, "Miss Ruoli, you are too kind. Madam Liangfei has been kind to me, and it is only natural for me to repay her."

"It's just that... I am of low status, just a eunuch guarding the Qin'an Palace. How can I see the emperor?"

Ruoli thought about it and realized that this was the truth.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said quickly, "Go to Shuiyue Pavilion in Chuxiu Palace and find Concubine Hao! Then tell her about the queen's situation. She will definitely be willing to help!"

There were countless noble ladies, maids, and concubines in the palace, and Noble Lady Hao was one of them. However, because she was not favored by the emperor, she had little presence on weekdays.

The nobles were given less ice in summer. The unfavored nobles would have their little share deducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This summer, the weather was extremely hot, but Shuiyuexuan didn't get any ice at all, and life was extremely difficult.

After the Empress learned the news, she punished the manager of the Imperial Household Department and gave Concubine Hao double the amount of ice.
