Chapter 134 Heartbroken
Chapter 134 Heartbroken
Yihuan was horrified upon hearing this. She looked at Ruyi in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes. "So... So the Empress knew about this a long time ago? Why didn't you tell me sooner? Did you just watch me suffer in this lie for over a decade?"
She really didn't want to believe that Ruyi was such a person. Even though she had felt that she had done many things wrong before, she just thought she was unintentional. But now, seeing her, it completely overturned her perception of her.
It turned out that the queen she had always respected was no different from the emperor.
"I am doing this for your own good. This matter is of great importance. If you knew the truth, I am really afraid that you would get hurt..." Ruyi did not expect that she would suddenly attack her. After a moment of shock, she immediately explained.
Yihuan stared at Ruyi in front of her, finding it extremely ridiculous.
This emperor and empress are indeed husband and wife, they are both equally hypocritical and selfish!
"For my own good? Queen? Did you keep me trapped in a lie for over a decade just for my own good? You say it's all for my own good, but only you know what you're really thinking, right?"
"Empress Shufei? You can't speak rudely to the Empress!" Seeing Yihuan contradicting Ruyi, Rong Pei hurriedly spoke out to stop her.
Yi Huan no longer cared about the rules. She turned her head and glared at Rong Pei: "The Queen hasn't said anything yet, and you, a servant, dare to discipline me?"
"Yihuan, I didn't mean to hide it from you." Ruyi was a little flustered. She didn't expect Yihuan to react like this.
All she felt now was regret.
If she had known this, she should have found an opportunity to tell her the truth.
"Then why did Your Majesty summon me today? Are you mocking me for all the years of sincerity I've put to waste, or are you trying to intimidate me and show off your authority as Empress? For the first time, I feel so ridiculous, and Your Majesty, under the pretext of doing what's best for me, you've watched me live like this for ten years? When I think back on these past ten years, I find myself ridiculous. You must also think I'm incredibly stupid, right?"
Yihuan sneered, and Ruyi's appearance in front of her gradually became ugly.
Ruyi found it unbelievable. Every word Yihuan said hit the nail on the head. She was actually a little afraid to face her. She felt her face getting hot and a little ashamed in her heart.
She parted her red lips slightly, and after a long pause, she managed only one sentence: "Why do you have to misinterpret my intentions? You were sincere to the Emperor at that time. I was afraid that you would not be able to bear it after learning the truth..."
"Then when I find out the truth more than ten years later, will I be able to bear it?" Seeing her quibbling, Yihuan's eyes flashed with disappointment and she stopped her sternly.
She stared at Ruyi intently, feeling disappointed like a tide that overwhelmed her.
"This palace..." Ruyi avoided her eyes. Hearing her say that, Ruyi didn't know how to explain.
Yihuan closed her eyes helplessly, two lines of tears sliding down her cheeks.
She really didn't want to hear her quibbling anymore. She exhaled a breath of foul air to suppress her unhappiness and said coldly: "This matter is all because of the emperor. I will not blame you. Please forgive my rude behavior today. If there is nothing else in the future, please don't summon me again, Your Majesty. People with different beliefs cannot work together. You and I are not the same kind of people at all. Please keep the matter of the pregnancy medicine secret. Concubine Ling is pregnant and she has been drinking the pregnancy medicine for a long time. When she gives birth to the royal heir, I will tell you..."
After saying that, Yihuan could no longer stay in the same room with her, so he walked out of Yikun Palace.
"Empress Shufei...Empress Shufei..."
"Let her go..."
Rong Pei was about to try to persuade her to stay, but was stopped by Ruyi.
She lowered her eyes and sighed, feeling extremely powerless. She murmured, "She will never forgive me..."
As soon as he walked out of Yiku Palace, Yihuan felt his stomach churning. He couldn't help but hold on to the vermilion palace wall to suppress the nausea.
She entered the palace with a sincere heart, but in the end she was hurt the most by this couple: one was her best friend, and the other was her husband, whom she was willing to stay by at all costs.
Unexpectedly, they are birds of a feather, equally sanctimonious, equally hypocritical and insidious.
Xi He supported her with red eyes, holding back tears and saying, "My dear, are you okay? The Queen Mother is too much. She said those words just after you learned the truth. Doesn't she have a heart?"
"Don't talk about the Queen in private, or you'll get yourself into trouble. Anyway, from now on, we have nothing to do with the Yikun Palace."
There was frost in Yihuan's eyes. She wiped the tears from her face, and when she raised her head again, there was no trace of nostalgia for the two of them on her face.
"Yes."
"Let's go back to the palace."
She strode forward, and waiting for her ahead was the vast blue sky.
After Yihuan and Xihe's figures became two distant particles and disappeared on the distant palace road, Yanwan walked out from the darkness with the support of Chunchan.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is so sad, can she really hold on?" Chunchan asked worriedly.
Shu Fei was sincere to everyone. After she became friends with her master, she treated her maid with kindness and good words. She really couldn't bear to see her wither away like this.
Yan Wan shook her head. She looked in the direction where Yi Huan disappeared, her eyes filled with melancholy. "No, she promised me that she would hold on. I want her to see the ugly faces of this couple clearly, so that she can recognize who is the only person in this palace who treats her well..."
"I also hope that Madam Shu Fei will not let the master down."
"Let's go, we have to send one more person off today."
Chunchan nodded and helped her to Qixiang Palace.
A few years later, Ruyi was about to give birth to her third son with the emperor, and Jin Yuyan had been forgotten in Qixiang Palace for four years.
I heard from the guards that she is dying.
Ever since Yan Wan exposed Prince Yu's identity early on, she no longer had the will to live. If Yan Wan hadn't threatened her with the child, she wouldn't have lived this long.
Yanwan values friendship, so naturally she wants to come and visit this "old friend".
By the way, give her a ride.
In the past two years, Jin Yuyan could still go out for a stroll in the courtyard, but in the past year, perhaps because of her illness, she has been lying in this cramped room.
The house had not been taken care of for a long time and there was an unpleasant smell of decay in it.
The rickety wooden door was opened, and a beam of sunlight came in. Looking along the beam, a lot of dust was raised in the beam, which disappeared into the darkness after floating for a short time.
Jin Yuyan was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. A beam of flower light came and disturbed her peace. When she opened her eyes, she saw only a face that she once hated so much.
She is now at the end of her strength. When I see her, I don’t have the energy to hate her anymore.
