They were supposed to admire the plum blossoms, but who would have the mood to do so now?
Other than Shi Sheng sitting alone, the others stood on both sides of the pavilion and formed groups, afraid that the fire would spread to them.
"Niang niang …" Tao Qin, the head palace maid beside Shi Sheng, said worriedly, "Shu niang niang niang niang can't hold on if she continues to stand like this. If something happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to His Majesty."
Shu niang's face was already purple from the cold, and her body was shivering in the cold wind.
Shi Sheng supported his chin. The male and female lead should be arriving soon.
Sure enough, just as Shi Sheng thought this, a woman wearing a palace maid's uniform appeared in the plum blossom forest.
Lu Ruo sneaked out of the cold palace to find a chance to see the emperor.
She smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms near Snowfall Garden and followed the scent here.
The female lead's preferences must be the same as the male lead's deceased empress. This would make it easier for the male lead to notice her and associate her with his deceased empress. Then, the male lead and female lead would be connected.
Therefore, the female lead of this novel liked plum blossoms.
Seeing such a large plum blossom forest, the female lead was very happy and almost forgot the world she was in.
She rushed in recklessly and bumped into Shu niang who was being punished to stand.
Lu Ruo's transmigrated body was a beautiful woman. Although she had only seen the emperor once and had never served him in bed, she knew most of the concubines.
Lu Ruo was afraid that Shu niang would recognize her and immediately lowered her head.
But she felt strange. Why was Shu niang standing here wearing so little?
There were many plum blossoms around the pavilion, almost blocking the entire pavilion. Lu Ruo was standing with her back to the pavilion, so she naturally didn't see anyone there.
Shu niang's vision turned black. Before she could see the person in front of her clearly, her body swayed and her stiff feet couldn't find balance. She fell to the ground.
Lu Ruo subconsciously supported Shu niang. At this moment, a tall figure jumped out from the side and carried Shu niang up. Lu Ruo smelled a strong scent of ambergris.
"Is this how you serve your master?" A man in a bright yellow dragon robe stood beside her and scolded coldly, "Twenty strokes of the cane.
The man looked very cold. His handsome facial features seemed to be carved from ice. When he looked at her coldly, she felt like she was in an ice cellar.
But this man was quite handsome.
Were people raised in ancient times?
No, this man wanted to hit her twenty times?
Lu Ruo reacted and immediately defended herself loudly, "Your Majesty, when I arrived, Imperial Concubine Shu was already like this. I am also not Imperial Concubine Shu's servant girl."
Yuwen Xun, who was about to leave, frowned slightly. His sharp gaze swept toward Lu Ruo.
Lu Ruo puffed out her chest, giving him a look that said, "You can't wrong me."
"How dare you!" Next to Yuwen Xun, Eunuch De, who was holding a horsetail whisk, reprimanded in a sharp voice, "How dare you disrespect His Majesty! Who gave you the guts?"
Only then did Lu Ruo remember that she had been rash. This era was not the modern era that she was from. Even looking at the Emperor was a great disrespect. She quickly lowered her head.
Yuwen Xun was a little dazed, his eyes filled with complicated emotions. After a while, his thin lips moved. "What's your name?"
"Lu Ruo."
Yuwen Xun's expression darkened when he heard the unfamiliar name. "Thirty strokes of the cane."
Lu Ruo was dumbfounded. Why did he give her another ten? Were all ancient people so unreasonable?
Yuwen Xun carried Shu Fei and prepared to leave.
"Your Majesty, wait a moment," Lu Ruo said anxiously.
She didn't want to be flogged. If she was beaten to death, she wouldn't be able to go back. She definitely couldn't be flogged.
Yuwen Xun actually paused and tilted his head to look at Lu Ruo.
Lu Ruo took a deep breath. "Your Majesty, I have a folk prescription that can treat the little prince's cold illness."
Yuwen Xun's gaze changed. He asked in a low voice, "What method do you have?"
Even the imperial physicians were helpless against the little prince's cold illness. What could a lowly palace maid like her do?
Or …
Was she trying to get his attention?
"It's a method passed down from my ancestors. It's very effective and will definitely cure the little prince's chronic illness." Of course, Lu Ruo didn't have any ancestral methods. She had to rely on the system.
She had to get close to the little prince first, then think of a way to get close to Yuwen Xun.
Of course, she had to get rid of the thirty strokes first.
"Nonsense. Is the little prince someone a palace maid like you can treat?" Eunuch De shrieked. "Your Majesty, this palace maid is too unruly. I think you should just sentence her to death."
Lu Ruo: "…"
He wanted her life as soon as he arrived. What a vicious eunuch.
Just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I climb over your head.
"Your Majesty, the little prince's cold illness has been with him since he was young. Because he's too young, the d-imperial physicians don't dare to carelessly use medicine for fear of agitating the little prince. But my ancestral method is absolutely non-toxic and harmless. "Lu Ruo patted her chest in assurance." If my method doesn't work, I'm willing to apologize with my death. "
Yuwen Xun should believe her, right?
"If something really happens to the little prince, what's the use of apologizing with your death?"
Lu Ruo glared at Eunuch De. This damned eunuch. How had she offended him?
…
Shi Sheng looked at the silhouettes separated by the plum trees.
Consort Shu is about to die from the cold. Lord Male Lead, you're still wasting time with the female lead.
Have you considered your beloved consort's feelings?
"This palace maid sure has guts …" A concubine nearby was discussing. "She actually dares to have designs on the little prince. If anything happens, she won't have enough heads to chop off even if she has several."
The little prince was born of the late empress. The late empress had passed away while giving birth to the little prince. In ancient times, people could only wait for death if they bled out.
When the little prince was two years old, he fell into a frozen pond. Since then, he had been afflicted with an incurable cold illness.
"She didn't choose a smart way to seduce His Majesty …"
"A little palace maid wants to seduce His Majesty? She's dreaming."
"Jiejie, don't you think this little palace maid looks a little familiar?" A concubine finally got to the point.
"A little." A concubine nearby agreed. "But I can't remember where I've seen her …"
"Isn't this that An Jieyu? That An Jieyu who broke Consort Xian's mandarin duck jade pillow. "
The reason Lu Ruo entered the cold palace was because she broke Consort Xian's mandarin duck jade pillow. The jade pillow was bestowed by the emperor. Breaking it was a great disrespect.
Lu Ruo's entry into the palace had actually attracted the male lead's attention. Not only did she have the identity of an Jieyu, but she also had a title.
Although this wasn't the first time she received such treatment before bedding him, it was definitely an existence that made people jealous.
The group of women in the harem were afraid that Lu Ruo would be pampered in front of the male lead.
Fortunately, something happened later. The male lead didn't have time to pamper women and forgot about Lu Ruo.
Thus, An Jieyu, who had received a title but never bedded him, became a thorn in the side of some people. They had to get rid of her to feel at ease.
"Isn't she in the cold palace? Why is she here? "
"She left the cold palace without permission and dared to run in front of His Majesty. This An Jieyu is really bold."
"What do we do now?
”
"Imperial Consort Jiejie …"
A group of people looked at Shi Sheng, who was watching the show.
Shi Sheng: "…"
Why are you looking at me?
I just want to watch the show quietly.
