Chapter 38 If she is bullied, I will stand up for her.
Clearly, Consort Wan was not a brainless person.
From the day she received Yunxi's hint to her vying for the two different colored chrysanthemums, it's clear that she has some cleverness.
At that time, knowing that she couldn't handle such a treasure, she gave it directly to Consort Su and even made Consort Su do her a favor.
The goal was simple: to make things difficult for Li Ruolan.
I'm afraid that's the same purpose today. She seems to have seen her future clearly, and she knows that as long as Li Ruolan ascends to heaven one day, she will definitely not fare any better.
The Emperor's patience with her had completely run out. She had been too reckless and had almost exhausted the favor she had earned with her life.
But she stubbornly believed that, after all, she was his savior, and even if she made a mistake, the emperor wouldn't be so cruel.
This was undoubtedly testing Mu Xiaoci's last bit of patience, but no matter what, Consort Wan wanted to take the gamble.
She discovered clues to her seemingly flawless plan on Yunxi's way back.
Yaoguang Palace is quite far away, and you'll pass through a garden on your way back.
The garden was naturally not as large as the Imperial Garden; it was just a small place where nobles could rest during the hot summer months.
Now that winter is approaching, naturally no one visits, and it has become quite deserted and desolate.
Not far from this garden is a hunting ground, which was specially built by the late emperor for a concubine.
After the late emperor passed away, the Imperial Concubine became the Dowager Consort. She still lives in this deep palace, but unlike the Empress Dowager, she has no children, no ceremonial entourage, and rarely goes out these days.
However, she did keep quite a few exotic animals, her favorite being cats.
Yunxi still remembered that when the Empress Dowager passed away in her previous life, the cat was pitiful. With no one to take care of it, it multiplied wildly and eventually caused the palace to be full of stray cats. In the spring, its meows were quite annoying.
In the end, Mu Xiaoci had no choice but to have someone deal with it. The eunuch usually worked for the eunuchs, but later he also had to take on the job of neutering cats.
However, because of this, the number of cats gradually decreased.
Regarding that concubine, that was all she remembered, and now that she saw some fish paste in the garden bushes, she understood pretty much everything.
If a cat runs away uncontrollably, whose responsibility is it?
Cats are, after all, livestock, and livestock cannot control their emotions. Consort Wan has proof that she was completely absent, so the blame can only be placed on the Dowager Consort.
Although the Imperial Concubine Dowager's status was not as high as the Empress Dowager's, she was still the Emperor's elder, so the Emperor naturally could not act arrogantly.
No matter what she does, the person who will be hurt the most is Li Ruolan.
It seems that Consort Wan acted earlier and more ruthlessly than in her previous life.
Yunxi thought about it and looked at the fish paste in the grass. Suddenly, she felt that this was not fun at all.
Li Ruolan has been causing trouble everywhere lately, making it impossible for her to have a peaceful pregnancy, which is very bad for her situation.
As for Consort Wan...
She was a bad apple to begin with, so it doesn't matter when she disappears. Whatever fate befalls her is entirely her own doing. She is the one who started everything, and she can't blame anyone else.
Thinking of this, Yunxi felt very relaxed. She took out a small medicine bottle from her pocket and sprinkled some powder on the fish paste.
"Consort Wan, this is the last time I'll help you."
Yunxi smiled, put away the medicine bottle, and prepared to return to the palace.
But then she thought, if she were to pass by this road, she feared that Consort Wan would turn around and accuse her of poisoning her.
Having been victimized so many times, she has become more vigilant and now walks in the opposite direction to create an alibi.
Although Li Ruolan and Granny Gui would definitely protect her, she had no desire to put herself in danger.
The fetus was not yet stable, and Yunxi did not want to take the risk at all.
She turned around and went directly in the opposite direction, to the location of the Imperial Household Department.
With winter approaching, it's only natural to pick out a nice coat for one's wife.
Unexpectedly, fate brought them together again; the very person they feared most in the palace was now the very person they encountered.
Mu Xiaoci was in front of her; the two were walking on the same path.
Yunxi followed silently behind, wanting to overtake but not daring to, so she could only grit her teeth and follow the group, hoping to find a way around the palace and avoid this jinx.
As expected of the emperor, he always had a group of palace servants attending to him whenever he went out.
This path was originally deserted, with few forks, and was more of a scenic route, so it was impossible to cross it.
Going back leads to a trap, while going forward leads to villains. Yunxi felt like she had really stepped in dog poop today.
It was truly an unlucky day that all the bad guys in the palace appeared around her.
But these things are unavoidable. If there are people around the Emperor, her suspicion will be even less, and she won't be entangled by the people around Consort Wan.
Yunxi knew how formidable the dogs around Consort Wan were. They were sharp-tongued and adept at spreading dirty water. In her past life, they almost falsely accused her of being bribed to harm the prince in Li Ruolan's womb.
That was the first time she had been falsely accused, and she was unable to defend herself. She was almost killed by Mu Xiaoci.
Fortunately, they didn't know that the pregnant woman was her. Li Ruolan and Granny Gui were even more worried about the child's safety and did their best to protect her.
That was Yunxi's first experience with palace intrigue. She was terrified by the madman and suffered from uterine pain that night. She had to drink a lot of herbal medicine to stabilize the pregnancy.
It would be better to get rid of such an unlucky person as soon as possible so that people can have peace of mind.
In her past life, she had been splashed with dirty water by Consort Wan, so she didn't have a good impression of that woman. Now that she thought about it carefully, Mu Xiaoci also disliked Consort Wan. Why not take this opportunity to guide him to watch a show?
Not only did he avenge himself, but he also made Consort Wan suffer even more.
Yes, and by the way, have Mu Xiaoci control Li Ruolan's outings, and make that other crazy woman stay home and rest during her pregnancy, instead of going out and showing off her body.
As for their relationship, Yunxi now finds herself completely indifferent.
A man like Mu Xiaoci, to put it nicely, is an emperor, and it's normal for him to have three wives and four concubines in his harem; to put it bluntly, he's just another version of a peacock.
Aside from looking good, it's pretty useless.
She had no feelings for this kind of man, and even thought that his eyes were blinded by lard and that he was a fool.
Now, she's going to guide the fool and hope he can see beyond the grease and properly understand this chaotic harem.
How come all the concubines chosen are such petty, scheming women?
Yunxi had never seen a good woman in the harem. She always felt that Mu Xiaoci was too wicked. Evil people will be punished by evil people. These were all tests and arrangements given to him by God.
While inwardly grumbling, he had already taken a few steps forward, successfully attracting the attention of the palace servants.
A leading eunuch stopped her and reprimanded her:
"How dare you! Do you know who's in front of us? How dare you be so blind as to try and cut us off!"
"This servant...this servant was unaware...I beg your forgiveness, sir!"
She retreated repeatedly, lowering her head and shrinking back.
The palace servants behind the emperor dared not stray too far from the front, for fear of spoiling their master's enjoyment, so they would all wait at a distance.
Yunxi had planned this all along.
There is a pond garden not far away, and the emperor has a little hobby of fishing. I'm afraid he will be so captivated by the sight that he will definitely stop and try his hand at fishing.
The worst thing about fishing is making noise. If she can make a lot of noise, she can definitely attract the other person's attention and make them come over to see what's going on.
Having spent so many years in the harem, she certainly knew what she was doing and was even more familiar with the Emperor's temperament.
For a man you know perfectly well, controlling his every move is as easy as breathing.
Now she's like Jiang Ziya, casually throwing out bait and the other party will naturally take the bait.
Eunuchs are masters of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. They are nothing like Richard, who has a good temper. If they feel uncomfortable at the slightest thing, they will definitely bully him back.
The eunuchs without roots were even worse, completely unable to control their tempers.
The ones they liked to bully the most were the palace maids.
It's as if by thoroughly humiliating them, they can rediscover the feeling of being a man they once were.
The eunuch in front of her was a typical example. Seeing that Yunxi had a good figure, he immediately became malicious, not to mention that she looked easy to bully, and he said the most nasty things he could.
If it were a palace maid from another palace, she would have already announced her mistress's name, which would have scared the other party away.
But she refused to speak, and the other party, knowing she was just someone with no powerful backing, was even less likely to let her go.
Just as the eunuch was about to press down on her head, preparing to lift her face and examine her appearance, a single word, "Insolence!" immediately caused her legs to buckle.
Yunxi, with her head down, curled the corners of her lips, thinking that a good show was about to begin.
The other party arrived a little late, and the eunuch's fishy smell gave her a headache; she almost bumped into him.
Mu Xiaoci is indeed unreliable; even those who come to watch the show are so full of enthusiasm.
Upon hearing this, the eunuch was so frightened that he wet himself and immediately knelt on the ground.
Yunxi then began to act, feigning a pitiful look as if she had been humiliated. She looked up at the man in front of her with her watery eyes, then quickly lowered her head and knelt down with him.
"What are you doing in broad daylight, right in front of His Majesty?!"
Richard was the first to speak.
Seeing that the problem lay with one of his subordinates, he immediately set aside personal ties and gave them a severe scolding.
Mu Xiaoci stood behind Richard, and for some reason, seeing Yunxi's extremely aggrieved appearance, he felt a little irritated.
What an idiot! All she does is cry. Why doesn't she learn from her master, who fights back when bullied and tears people's hair? All she does is stand there and almost gets violated by a eunuch!
As the emperor, he could not say such things.
She couldn't reveal her true feelings; she simply pursed her lips and coldly watched the group of people.
Richard had finished reprimanding them, and then fawned over him, saying, "Your Majesty, these servants have offended your eyes. I'll take them away and deal with them right away."
"Wait a minute."
It's rare that Mu Xiaoci, who usually hates such troublesome things, actually chose to get involved, and now he's even personally interrogating people.
"Tell me what happened just now that caused such a commotion in front of me."
"This palace is also my palace. If she is bullied, I will stand up for her."
As he said this, he deliberately glanced at Yunxi.
There were far too many hints given.
