Chapter 125 The present world report
When Zhao Rongyuan heard He Qing say that she was going to be banished to the cold palace, she felt like she was struck by lightning. Her mind was confused and she couldn't recover for a while.
what? !
Her terrified eyes stared at He Qing in disbelief.
"You are talking nonsense! The emperor has always been very fond of me, how could he banish me to the cold palace?"
"How dare you, He Qing! Are you, are you falsely conveying the imperial edict?"
Zhao Rongyuan stood up like crazy, snatched the imperial edict from Eunuch He Qing's hand, and slowly opened it with trembling hands.
However, the words written on the bright yellow silk cloth were like needles piercing Zhao Rongyuan's heart, which was still holding on to a glimmer of hope.
Seeing is believing, what He Qing said is true.
She could no longer control her emotions, tears of grievance burst out of her eyes, her voice was hoarse, and she kept saying:
"How could...how could it become like this?"
"Your Majesty, you have a cruel heart, you have a cruel heart..."
Zhao Rongyuan's eyes were empty, as if her soul had left her body. She sat on the ground with the imperial edict in her hands, without any reaction.
Furong, who was standing by, saw her queen's distraught look and felt sad too, and couldn't help crying.
"Woo woo... Madam, please don't scare me, please don't scare me..."
He Qing held a whisk in his hand and watched the grief-stricken master and servant in front of him coldly.
Although he felt disappointed, he had witnessed with his own eyes the emperor's deep affection for Concubine Shu earlier. However, the emperor's grace is like flowing water and the emperor's will cannot be violated.
He Qing slowly closed his eyes and flicked the whisk in his hand. The guards who had been waiting behind him lined up and, ignoring the cries of Zhao Rongyuan and her servant, lifted them both up and walked towards the cold palace.
He Qing followed them further and further away.
The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department was still standing there.
In the past, when Zhao Rongyuan was still Concubine Shu, if she was not satisfied with the things provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she would loudly reprimand the chief eunuch and he was often scolded.
He just stood there waiting quietly, and after Zhao Rongyuan left, he spat fiercely at the ground.
"Bah! Reality News!"
In Yinglan Pavilion.
Lu Qingqing was practicing yoga leisurely. She was pregnant now. Although she had a basic exercise routine, she still felt tired from the long journey.
So as soon as Lu Qingqing returned to her Yinglan Pavilion and settled down, she couldn't wait to change into her training clothes and stretch her muscles.
She laid a large wool carpet in the bedroom, which was the anti-slip and warm yoga mat specially made by Lu Qingqing.
The soft sunlight outside the hall shone into the house through the silk window panes, and the golden haziness shone on Lu Qingqing's delicate little face, making her skin look even whiter and more rosy.
She performed the movements meticulously, and soon she was sweating profusely. Erxi and Xiaotao, who were standing by, were stunned.
"Wow! Young Master is really smart. How did you come up with so many moves?"
Lu Panpan sat on a low stool nearby, eating the grapes that Sanpang had grown and cooked himself, and exclaimed in amazement again and again.
"Sister, you are amazing! You can do so many complicated movements even when you are pregnant. You can even perform on the streets!"
Lu Qingqing listened to their flattery, suppressed the smile on the corner of her mouth, and insisted on completing the last action.
After finishing, she breathed a sigh of relief and felt refreshed and relaxed.
Lu Qingqing walked to the flower table and picked up a crystal clear and plump grape and put it into her mouth. The sweet and sour juice immediately exploded in her mouth.
She ate and laughed, trying to tease the people around her.
"Don't just praise me. Next time I exercise, do you want to join me? I can teach you!"
Erxi shook his head repeatedly after hearing this.
"Forget it, my lady. My body is not as flexible as yours. I can't do this kind of action. Forget it, forget it."
Lu Qingqing then turned around and asked Xiaotao.
Xiao Tao was a smart person. Before Lu Qingqing could speak, she walked out of the bedroom while smiling.
"Oh my lady, I suddenly remembered that I haven't cleaned Miss Panpan's room yet. Haha, I'll go right away, right away."
Lu Qingqing tilted her head and put her hands on her waist, feeling angry and amused at the same time.
"Hey, one by one, no one wants to exercise with me."
She fixed her eyes on Lu Panpan, who was eating grapes wholeheartedly, with an evil smile on her lips.
"Pan Pan, you are the only one left. Please practice with me from now on!"
Lu Panpan was eating with great relish.
Grapes are a rare commodity. She had heard of them outside the palace before but had never tasted them. Now that she had embraced her sister's thighs, she could finally taste what grapes tasted like.
Lu Panpan's little face was bulging with grapes. She opened her eyes wide and waved her hands quickly, saying incoherently:
"Forget it, forget it. I don't want to learn this. I'd rather learn how to grow fruit from Sanpang."
Lu Qingqing and Lu Panpan were chatting casually in the bedroom. Just when they were chatting happily, Sanpang came in hurriedly to report.
"My lord, my lord, the latest news, the latest news!"
Sanpang came trotting in, his eyes shining and sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he had big news to tell.
"Don't be impatient, Sanpang. Tell me what's going on slowly."
Sanpang approached Lu Qingqing cautiously, lowered his voice, and seemed to be gloating.
"My lady, I heard that Zhao Rongyuan was banished to the cold palace."
Upon hearing the news, Lu Qingqing's hand, which was about to pick up the grapes, suddenly stopped.
Yes.
It seems that the matter that Li Xuansheng sent Prince Jing to investigate has yielded results, and what was written in blood is all the truth, but she didn't expect this action to come so quickly.
After hearing the news, Lu Panpan was also very excited.
Since she surrendered, she had heard her sister talk about many things in the palace. She also knew that Zhao Rongyuan and her sister did not get along. Now that Zhao Rongyuan was banished to the cold palace, she felt relieved!
Lu Panpan grabbed Lu Qingqing's hand and was about to cheer with her.
"That's great, sister! Zhao Rongyuan is getting her comeuppance for her evil deeds, and the emperor is venting his anger for us!"
Although Lu Qingqing had expected this day to come, she still felt a little sad when it really happened.
She had only seen the Cold Palace in TV dramas before. Those deposed concubines lived together there with no guarantee of food, clothing and other expenses. In the end, most of them were driven crazy.
She asked carefully:
"Sanpang, do you know what the situation is like in the cold palace?"
Sanpang lowered his head, thought carefully, and lowered his voice.
"My lady, to be honest, I have never been inside this cold palace. I just heard from others that it is very desolate, with broken walls and overgrown weeds everywhere."
"No one who has entered can come out again."
Lu Qingqing took a breath of cold air. She could already foresee the miserable living conditions that Zhao Rongyuan was living in there.
Zhao Rongyuan fell, and she should be happy in her heart, but now she can't be happy at all.
