Amidst the cheers of all the officials, what Ziyan saw was the scene of Rong Changan being persecuted by her, suffering so much that a piece of white silk hanged himself.
…
The bells from the Taimiao were solemn and solemn, over and over again over the glazed tile roof, over the high red walls, and into the deserted Fengming Palace.
Rong Changan didn't know how to cry anymore, the bell was clearly mocking her and mocking her.
She lost to Ziyan in the last life, and she will also lose to Ziyan this time. The process is different, but the result is the same.
This is fate, there is no escape.
What hurts her most now is not Yan Li's betrayal, but the child who is less than one month old. He has not yet formed a soul in Rong Chang'an's stomach! She wanted to make him a suit and embroider a pair of shoes, but it was too late!
In order to have a sustenance, Rong Chang'an can have a sacrifice at this time of the year. She carved a puppet herself and carved the child's name on it. But before she and Yan Li had time to name the child, the child was gone.
It is because of Yan Li that there is no child, so Rong Changan did not give the child the surname Yan, but only wrote "Rong Changan's flesh and blood".
"Queen, why are you going?" Seeing Rong Changan's eyes glaze over, Chuntao walked towards the back garden with the puppet.
Rong Chang'an didn't speak, and came to the back garden under a peach tree, dug a hole with a small shovel, put the puppet into the hole, buried it with soil, and built a small bumpkin on it.
At this moment, Chuntao knew what Rong Changan wanted to do.
"Queen, the child is gone, no matter how sad you are, you can't bring it back, I hope the queen will mourn!"
Rong Chang'an stuck a piece of bamboo on the small soil bag to show that this is a tomb, the tomb of her child who hadn't grown up.
"Son, it's my mother's fault that she didn't take good care of you, so that you were killed by an adulterer before you were born. Mom swears, I will pay back ten times the person who hurt you!"
After finishing speaking, Rong Changan burst into tears again, but it was only howling, but there was no more tears.
Heart-piercing and heart-rending, Chuntao saw it and burst into tears.
The entire Fengming Palace was immersed in an atmosphere of mourning, which was in stark contrast to the solemn but festive bells.
Amidst the crying, three people stood behind Chuntao at some point.
One was a eunuch, and the other two were guards with knives. Their complexions were stern and their eyes were ferocious. The crying of Rong Changan and Chuntao did not move them at all.
Chuntao clearly sensed the other party's hostility, and timidly asked, "You guys are..."
The eunuch clasped Chuntao's hands, and said in an emotionless voice, "We follow the order of Concubine Ziyan to assign tasks to you."
"Tasks?" Chuntao was puzzled, "Do you have any tasks that you can assign to me and the queen?"
"Shut up!" the eunuch snapped, Chuntao's body trembled slightly, "You are not allowed to call Rong Chang'an the queen in the future."
"Why?" Chuntao was even more puzzled, as if Rong Changan should be called Queen since he was born.
The eunuch said: "Because Dajing Kingdom has not established anyone as the queen since the new emperor, the word queen cannot be said lightly! Besides, Rong Chang'an is pregnant with evil seeds, and the court is dirty, how can he have any qualifications to be the queen!"
Rong Changan glanced coldly, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Excuse me, father-in-law, who taught you what you said just now? Was it Yan Li?"
The eunuch was afraid of Rong Chang'an, but when he remembered that Ziyan was behind him, what was he afraid of? So, after a sliver of fear, the eunuch shouted loudly: "Did you call the name of the emperor easily? If you say it again, I will slap the emperor for you!"
Rong Changan stood up, patted the dirt on his knees, his face was calm, without a trace of urgency, let alone a trace of fear, "If I say it again, do you really want to slap my mouth?"
The cold gaze and strong aura forced the eunuch back a few steps. The domineering person just now was three cuts shorter.
"You blatantly called the name of the emperor, I naturally... I will slap your mouth for the emperor!"
Rong Changan pursed his lips: "Even if I call you a hundred times, you may not dare to hit me! Someone who dares to slap me, Rong Changan, seems to have not yet been born!"
The eunuch saw that Chang An's eyes were bulging, his lips were dry, and he swallowed, "Then you try to call me, I... dare I hit you!"
Rong Changan smiled slightly: "I said Yan Li left, what do you want?"
"You!" The eunuch pointed at Rong Changan, wanting to extend his hand, but dared not, "I... I will go back and report to Concubine Ziyan and the emperor."
Now that Zi Yan has just been registered as a noble concubine, she has started to eliminate dissidents! It's so fast!
"Not only do I want to call your emperor Yan Li, but I also want to leave a mark on your face for your master to see."
The eunuch thought about Rong Changan's words for a while: "What do you mean by leaving a mark on my face?"
Before the eunuch finished speaking, there was a slap, and Rong Changan slapped him on the face, turning him around in a circle.
Hands raised and palms fell, the eunuch's left face was hot, blue, purple, red, and swelled up in an instant.
"You...you dare to hit me! You are doing well, Rong Changan. The imperial concubine Ziyan has ordered you to wash the palace's clothes and toilets every day!"
The eunuch wanted to fight back, but when he saw Rong Changan's cold eyes, he didn't dare to look at her.
Rong Changan suddenly remembered that Ziyan had been imprisoned in the cold palace by Li Hai. The eunuchs in the cold palace also wash hundreds of toilets for Ziyan every day; now Ziyan asks Rong Changan to wash clothes and toilets, just to settle the score with Rong Changan.
Rong Chang'an smiled, and said to the eunuch: "Go back and tell Zi Yan that no amount of work can tire me, Rong Chang'an! I will accept the task she assigned to me."
The corner of the eunuch's mouth curled up proudly, thinking that Rong Changan was afraid of Ziyan, so he agreed.
"Hmph, you're so smart! I'll come over every day to supervise. If you can't wash one hundred and one toilets and ten buckets of clothes a day, don't even think about resting!"
When Chuntao heard it, it was clearly persecution!
"Hey, you are too much! How long will it take to wash a hundred toilets? There are also ten buckets of clothes! Our queen has never done such rough work!"
The eunuch hooked the corner of his mouth and showed a sneer: "I have to tell you clearly, it is one hundred and one, not one hundred! If one is missing, it will be a whip!"
At the beginning, Rong Changan asked Ziyan to wash one hundred toilets, but now Ziyan deliberately asked Rong Changan to wash one hundred and one more toilets in order to punish her.
"Chuntao, let's wash it, don't tell him too much!" Rong Changan stopped Chuntao, telling her not to distinguish.
The eunuch said: "Rong Chang'an, it's not bad for you to think so. I'll ask the palace servants to bring the toilet and clothes here."
After the eunuch left, Chuntao took Rong Changan's hand: "Queen, you are so weak, you are going to be bullied by Ziyan!"
