Chapter 440 The Joy of Tranquility (3)
She has to go this time.
-
Now, all the affairs of the harem are handled by Consort Lan, but Consort Lan will not care that Xiao Yining is indulging in pleasure at the expense of his own health.
She was afraid of angering Xiao Yining.
Bai Ruofu is not afraid.
At this moment, Xiao Yining is in Consort Yan Hanya's palace.
After Bai Ruofu left, the maids that Han Ya brought from her motherland tried to stop her.
"Your Majesty, Consort Yan is currently accompanying the Emperor. His Majesty has also decreed that no one may enter to disturb her without his permission... Ah!"
Before the maid could finish speaking, she was kicked away by the guards brought by Bai Ruofu.
The duty of these guards is to protect the Kunning Palace where Bai Ruofu resides.
but.
They were originally the Bai family army.
In order to follow Bai Ruofu, he was willing to give up a promising military career and enter the treacherous inner palace with her.
From then on, like Bai Ruofu, she broke her own wings.
Previously, because Bai Ruofu didn't compete or fight, they couldn't make their own moves.
Now I finally have the chance.
He wished he could kick the maid to death.
However, Bai Ruofu had given prior instructions that no one should be killed.
They had no choice but to restrain themselves.
When Bai Ruofu burst in, Consort Yan quickly dressed to greet her.
As for Xiao Yining...
They were still wearing clothes inside.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Empress!"
Bai Ruofu ignored her and walked past her to find Xiao Yining.
Xiao Yining wasn't dressed yet; her neck was covered in mottled marks.
There was a bottle of deer blood wine that hadn't been finished on the table.
Indeed...
Somewhat disheveled and embarrassed.
Seeing Bai Ruofu barge in, Xiao Yining felt embarrassed and awkward, but also felt a surge of resentment.
This empress really doesn't give him any face at all!
But even more disrespectful things were yet to come...
In front of so many palace servants and concubines, Bai Ruofu stepped forward in a few steps, grabbed Xiao Yining's chin, and forced him to drink the ginseng soup.
Xiao Yining nearly choked.
With a forceful effort, Bai Ruofu forced Xiao Yining to swallow it all.
Her whole face turned red.
He is the emperor of the Qin Dynasty! How dare Bai Ruofu treat him like this!
"Your Majesty, cough cough, you've gone mad! This is utter disrespect!"
After finishing what she needed to do, Bai Ruofu threw away the bowl.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty of offending Your Majesty. I beg to be demoted to a commoner and banished to the Cold Palace!"
Xiao Yining: "..."
There's a certain feeling that she's actually looking forward to being banished to the cold palace.
Consort Yan, kneeling, couldn't help but smile, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes.
I think this Empress is truly "as serene as a chrysanthemum" to the point of being foolish.
She actually gave up the position of empress herself.
But Xiao Yining did not agree.
He simply said, "You are ill, and I don't blame you. But you have truly offended me."
"From this day forward, you shall stay in Kunning Palace and shall not go anywhere else."
—It was just house arrest.
Consort Yan was disappointed, and Bai Ruofu was even more disappointed.
In an era where imperial power was supreme, if she wanted to leave the Forbidden City, she could not become Xiao Yining's empress.
If Bai Ruofu still harbored illusions about Xiao Yining when she married him, then his subsequent actions—including his spending his wedding night with Consort Lan, Consort Lan's pregnancy, and Xiao Yining's behavior today—have already made her feel disgusted with him.
She wanted to leave him.
She even felt that... being with him made the air feel suffocating.
But Xiao Yining possesses the inherent flaws of boys—
If I can't have you, I won't let you leave.
But for Bai Ruofu, this was a step forward.
The palace has been sealed off; how far away is it from being deposed?
