Chapter 153 Despair
When Ruyi heard that her two children were going to be taken away, tears instantly filled her eyes. Her red lips moved slightly, but she couldn't utter a word for a long time. She could only look at Yu Hu pleadingly, hoping that she could tell her the reason.
Ruyi knows her partner best. The emperor would never do this suddenly. There must be some reason behind it.
Yu Hu was helpless. She sighed and finally advised, "This is all the emperor's will. We are just following orders. The emperor has ordered that the young princes must move out of Yikun Palace today. While we are packing up, the queen should tell you as soon as possible..."
"No, I don't believe it. How could the emperor have the heart to treat me like this? I want to find the emperor and ask him clearly. How could the emperor take the two children away without consulting me?" Ruyi suppressed the collapse in her heart, stood up and was about to go to the Yangxin Palace.
She didn't believe that the emperor would treat her like this, and she wanted to find the emperor to ask for clarification.
Seeing this, Hai Lan also went to the Yangxin Palace to plead for mercy. A group of people went to the Yangxin Palace in a mighty manner, leaving Yu Hu and Jin Zhong alone in the palace looking at each other in bewilderment.
There is also the Thirteenth Prince who is sleeping peacefully.
Yu Hu glanced at Jinzhong and shook his head helplessly.
How can others influence the emperor's decision? Going forward like this would be futile. It would be a waste of the last chance for mother and son to spend time together. It's not worth it!
Jinzhong knew the Emperor best, and the reason he was sent here was to avoid the Empress. I'm afraid he's trying to avoid the Empress right now, so how could he possibly meet her?
But it’s better to leave. Take the child away as soon as possible to avoid him making a fuss and making it difficult to do the job.
Ruyi is so stupid. She can't even keep her guard up in front of her child, so how can she keep her guard up in front of the emperor?
By the time she returned, the Thirteenth Prince would probably have been sent to Prince Yan's mansion.
"In that case, Aunt Yuhu, let's not dawdle any longer. The cold wind of early spring is the most damaging. Let's quickly send the little prince over while it's still early. Otherwise, it will be cold later in the evening, and the little prince will catch a cold, which will be bad. We have to rush back to report to the emperor soon..."
Seeing that Yu Hu was in a difficult situation, Jinzhong tried to persuade him in the name of doing good for the young prince.
It is better to take the child away quickly while Ruyi is distracted, so as to avoid any further complications and let her find out something is wrong.
Jinzhong's words made sense, and Yu Hu could only nod and say, "Let's do it this way."
The emperor was extremely ruthless. Not only the Thirteenth Prince, but all the servants around the Twelfth Prince had to be replaced, not a single one could be left.
When Jinzhong was about to take him away, the twelfth prince hugged his wet nurse and cried, refusing to let go no matter how much people tried to persuade him.
Jinzhong had no choice but to have the wet nurse brought along. When the twelfth prince cried himself to sleep, he would send the wet nurse and all the servants out of the palace.
When he finished his task and returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he found that Ruyi and Hailan were still kneeling at the door of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, wanting to see the emperor.
"Empress, why are you doing this? I, your servant, have already sent the twelfth prince to Xiefang Palace on the emperor's orders. The emperor has also specially assigned a nanny to educate him. Don't worry about him being neglected there. The emperor has instructed you to take good care of yourself in the future and not to visit the twelfth prince. Aunt Yuhu has already left with the thirteenth prince. Your Majesty, please go back. You have just finished your confinement, and this is really harmful to your health... While it's still early, your Majesty might be able to send someone to deliver some things to Prince Yan's mansion..."
Jinzhong reported the situation to her in a low voice, seemingly trying to comfort her, but in fact he was secretly stabbing Ruyi in the heart.
Ruyi felt heartbroken when she heard this. She had finally managed to cheer herself up, but in just a few months, all her children left her side.
She ignored Jinzhong's words and just knelt straight on the ground without saying a word, letting her already poor body shiver in the cold wind.
If she doesn't see the emperor today, she won't go back.
Jinzhong feigned helplessness when he saw this, then shook his head and turned back to the Yangxin Palace to answer. Unseen by the others, a smile flashed across his face.
When he entered the hall, Li Yu was waiting by his side. Seeing his anxious look, he must have been extremely worried.
The emperor was reviewing memorials, and Ruyi kneeling outside made him a little uneasy.
He simply put down his pen and asked Jinzhong about the situation outside.
"The Queen is still kneeling outside?"
Jinzhong nodded and replied cautiously: "I have tried to persuade her, but Her Majesty the Queen refused to listen. This late spring cold snap is really severe. I'm afraid kneeling down again will hurt your health..."
A trace of annoyance flashed across the emperor's face. The reason he didn't want to see Ruyi was that he knew she would have a verbal dispute with him. Now that she was kneeling outside the palace, she was threatening him with her body.
The emperor hated being threatened the most.
Especially the one beside him.
I used to think that Ruyi understood his thoughts best, but for some reason, after Ruyi became the queen, she became very different from the original Concubine Xian.
He thought that by helping Ruyi enter the palace, he would get a queen who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, but he didn't expect to get an ancestor who was even more difficult to deal with than the original empress dowager.
He had no blood relationship with the Queen Mother, so he was cruel enough to deal with her.
But Ruyi was, after all, the woman he loved with all his heart when he was young. He had been sincere to her for so many years, and she even gave birth to three children with him... He really couldn't bear to do that to her.
That's why he chose to avoid her.
"Let her go. I won't see her today. Go tell her that the Thirteenth Prince is born weak and she is not able to take care of him. I sent the child to Prince Yan's residence out of concern for her. If she kneels outside again, I will punish everyone who kneels with her..."
The emperor snorted coldly, and finally threatened her with the safety of the people around her.
If she had any sense, she should go back and be her queen.
"Yes." Jinzhong nodded in response and turned around to go out and convey the imperial edict.
When Jinzhong repeated the emperor's words, Ruyi staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Sister! Are you okay?" Hai Lan quickly supported her. Looking at Ruyi's pale face, Hai Lan felt very distressed.
"How could the emperor have the heart to treat me like this... Is it just because I didn't take care of the fetus in her womb when the fifth princess passed away..." Ruyi murmured, her face ashen and she almost fainted.
Tears slid down my cheeks, and a few drops fell into my mouth, bringing endless bitterness.
Hai Lan couldn't understand why the emperor suddenly took the two children away from Ruyi. Now that the emperor was angry, she could only go back and think of a solution.
She advised, "Sister, let's not rush. You just came out of confinement and you have to take care of your body. It's better to go back and think of a solution. If you keep kneeling now, not only will you not see the emperor, but it will be counterproductive and make the emperor annoyed..."
