Chapter 280 Hate to the bone
Concubine Xiao looked down at Yin Ruyi, who was lying on the ground like a dog, and said disdainfully,
"Okay! If you can really tell me the secret that I don't know yet, then I will accept you as my dog."
"Thank you, Madam Noble Consort, for your kindness. Thank you, Madam Noble Consort, for your kindness."
Yin Ruyi kowtowed repeatedly to show her loyalty, and Concubine Xiao moved her feet forward in disgust.
Yin Ruyi quickly wiped the tears from her face, and respectfully spoke the secret in her heart word by word with a trembling voice.
"Prince Rui likes the Crown Prince's Consort Fang Liangdi. I am just a substitute."
When Concubine Xiao heard this, her eyes went dark and she staggered a few times. Fortunately, Nanny Yao held her hand as she unconsciously stretched it out.
"My lady, please be careful!"
After a long time, Concubine Xiao calmed down and pointed at Yin Ruyi and said sternly,
"Explain it to me clearly."
*
"Yes. Your Majesty, please forgive me for what I am about to say. I have no choice but to do this in order to protect myself.
I just ask you not to kill Ruyi, I don’t want to die, wuwuwu…”
"Say it."
"Yes, yes, I know your expectations of the prince, but the prince is deeply in love with Fang Qingge and cannot extricate himself.
If that day really comes, based on my understanding of the prince, he will definitely give up his great cause voluntarily because he loves Fang Qingge too much.
Your Majesty, I don't want the prince to be trapped in love and miss important things.
It would be a pity if that were the case.”
"What nonsense! What great cause? You deserve to die!"
As soon as Yin Ruyi finished speaking, Aunt Yao blurted out words in exasperation.
"Please forgive me, Madam Concubine."
Yin Ruyi was so frightened that she kowtowed again in haste.
*
At this time, Concubine Xiao had calmed down. She said leisurely,
"You are very smart. King Rui will never tell you these secrets."
"Please forgive me, Imperial Concubine. Ruyi is just a dog by your side now. Don't have any second thoughts, otherwise you will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
"Hehehe..."
When Concubine Xiao heard Yin Ruyi's oath, she burst into laughter.
"Tell me! What did you do?"
"Yes, Madam Noble Concubine, I became friends with Fang Qingge only to please the prince. I dare not disobey the prince.
But I hated Fang Qingge, hated her for occupying the prince's heart, and hated her for turning me into a ridiculous substitute.
He hated her even more for putting the prince in a dilemma.
"My Lady, I love the prince so much. I hate Fang Qingge, this vixen, even more. Not only did she seduce the Crown Prince, she also seduced the prince."
Yin Ruyi finished speaking in one breath, but she spoke too fast and too hastily, and her little face turned red.
*
After hearing this, Concubine Xiao remained silent for a long time. Her hands were shaking all the time. Aunt Yao couldn't believe it and cried out,
"My Lady, no wonder the King of Rui behaved abnormally after the two little ones were stung by poisonous bees in the Imperial Garden that day. Now it makes sense."
Concubine Xiao did not respond to Aunt Yao. After a long while, she pointed at Yin Ruyi lying on the ground and said,
"Tell me! Your purpose."
"Well, to be honest with you, Your Majesty, my only wish is for Fang Qingge to die, and only she to die.
Everything can return to its place.
Your Majesty, I don't want to see all your and the prince's efforts over the years go to waste.
Since Fang Qingge has hindered the prince's future, I, Yin Ruyi, will be the bad guy.
To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I have already taken action recently and secretly sent people to investigate Fang Qingge's background.
Because I discovered something unusual about her after several conversations with her.
Fang Qingge's behavior is not like that of a noblewoman raised in an official family like us. Therefore, I doubt her."
"Oh? Does King Rui know about her abnormality?"
"Reporting to the Imperial Concubine, the prince won't listen to anything right now. He just wants me to interact more with Fang Qingge, hoping to get some of her personal belongings as a keepsake.
To be honest, the delivery of food was also specially assigned by the prince."
Concubine Xiao's face turned pale and she didn't speak for a while.
*
After a moment, she held out her hand.
"Nurse, help me back to the inner room."
Seeing Concubine Xiao's expression, Aunt Yao nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, Nanny will help you go and rest."
With that, the two of them left Yin Ruyi and went into the inner room.
Yin Ruyi didn't know whether she would still be alive after saying such words that were enough to get her killed just for the sake of a gamble.
My heart was in turmoil and I was in a state of anxiety.
**
In the inner room, Concubine Xiao said somewhat disappointedly,
"Nurse, I always think that I know my own son best. For the sake of the great cause, I never doubt his determination.
I always thought he was a clear-headed person. I thought that no matter how much he liked a woman, he would not be so obsessed that he would ruin his future.
But look at what he did behind our backs.
Alas! We still don’t understand him! "
Concubine Xiao suddenly felt exhausted.
"My lady, you can't listen to the one-sided words of this little bitch outside. As a man, it's inevitable to be infatuated for a while, but how long can the love last?
Since Prince Rui likes Fang Qingge, let’s coax him first.
When the great cause is accomplished in the future, you will secretly deal with something that is not your decision? You don’t need to worry so much! "
Nanny Yao tried to persuade Prince Rui earnestly and also to excuse him.
*
Concubine Xiao shook her head.
"Nurse, you are really getting old and confused! Why did I bring Fang Qingge into the East Palace to follow the prince's wishes?
It’s because I saw the burning love in the prince’s eyes for this woman.
You don't understand at all! When the prince talked about this woman, his face softened, his eyes were full of smiles, and his whole body seemed to be glowing with true feelings.
Therefore, I judge that Fang Qingge's arrival will definitely cause unrest in the inner court of the Eastern Palace.
But I never expected that despite all my calculations, a big mistake would still occur, and I was actually tricked by the prince.
Forget it, what's the point of talking about things that can't be undone?
"Nurse, I never expected that my son would become the second crown prince. Tell me, how can I feel at ease?"
*
Aunt Yao also understood the seriousness of this and said angrily,
"Ah? This? Then Fang Qingge is indeed a disaster! The appearance of her two little bastards has caught us off guard. She is destined not to be one of us in the future!"
"Yes! How dare I allow King Rui to continue to act like this?"
"My Lady, if this is the case, why don't you call Prince Rui over and give him some good advice?"
"Persuade? How? Do you think you can bring a terminally ill person back to life with just a word of persuasion?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Yao also became at a loss. Her great cause had not yet been accomplished. If it was really ruined because of a woman like Fang Qingge, how could she explain to the Prime Minister?
