Chapter 246 I hope you fall
After Xing'er finished speaking, she turned around and left with her people.
There was a depressing silence in Shujing Hall.
Luo Yudian clenched his hands tightly, and did not loosen even when his nails were broken.
Qiu Shuang looked at her master worriedly and asked in a low voice.
"My lady, what should we do now?"
Luo Yudian's eyes were gloomy. He slowly loosened his hand, letting the broken nail fall to the ground.
At the same time, a few drops of bright red blood also dripped.
Li Chengze was originally playing with the small wooden sword in his hand, when he suddenly saw the blood drops on the ground and screamed in surprise.
"Mom! Are you hurt?"
The gloomy expression on Luo Yudian's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a gentle face.
"Mom is fine, just scratched by a fingernail."
While he was speaking, the palace maid quickly ran in to get the ointment.
Luo Yudian used her uninjured hand to pull her son inside.
"Why did you want to go to Fenglai Palace today? Why didn't you ask anyone to come back and tell mother?"
Li Chengze scratched his head embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, mother, I forgot. Xiao Si always showed off the sword that my father gave him, and I always wanted to see it. When the queen came to pick up Xiao Si, she asked me if I wanted to go, so I went."
Luo Yudian tightened his grip.
"What else did she tell you?"
"She didn't say anything! She just said I was too thin and asked if the food in the kitchen wasn't tasty, and then invited me to have dinner with her. Mother! The food in the kitchen of Fenglai Palace is delicious, and there's a crispy fish dish that I've never eaten before."
When Li Chengze talked about food, his eyes lit up.
But then he noticed that his mother's eyes were not right and he quickly covered his mouth.
"I'm sorry, mother. I shouldn't be so greedy."
Luo Yudian pursed her lips, her mind was all on Jiang Wanyue.
Is Jiang Wanyue trying to win over Ze'er and snatch him away? She already has a biological son, so why does she want to snatch my son away?
There's no way she'll succeed!
She kept shouting in her heart.
But...what if?
After all, she is the queen! Who can say no to educating the prince? When she was not yet the queen or the crown princess, the emperor gave her the legitimate sons and daughters to discipline. For so many years, Jiang Wanyue has had a good reputation inside and outside the palace, and it can be said that there is no flaw.
If not for this, she would not have tried to find a way to deal with the prince... She had been waiting for six or seven years but had not found a chance to take action against Jiang Wanyue.
He thought it was a plan that killed two birds with one stone, destroying the prince and alienating the emperor and Jiang Wanyue, but he didn't expect the emperor to directly kill the maid and suppress the matter.
Up to now, several days have passed and the prince is doing fine.
This made Luo Yudian very frustrated.
But she was just frustrated and didn't worry about her situation.
She did not intervene directly in those matters.
Without evidence, even if Jiang Wanyue wanted to convict herself, she couldn't do it.
These things have allowed Luo Yudian to remain calm during this period.
But that’s only until today.
Luo Yudian pulled her son to sit down and questioned him carefully over and over again several times until Li Chengze was tired of her questions, and then she let him go back to rest.
The wound on my hand has been treated with medicine and bandaged.
Luo Yudian looked at the gauze in his hand and remained silent for a long time.
It was already dark, and Shujing Palace became even colder and quieter.
She usually didn't like the room to be too bright, so the palace maids only left two candles according to her usual habit.
It was dim inside the house and dark outside.
The flickering candlelight shone on her face, casting layer upon layer of shadows.
Qiu Shuang sent all the other palace maids out and stayed alone in the room to serve.
After a long time.
She heard her master's voice.
"Qiushuang, I want to eat mullet balls. Let's ask the cook to leave the palace tomorrow!"
Qiu Shuang shuddered and her eyes changed.
"My lady, isn't it time to eat mullet balls yet?"
She asked meaningfully.
Luo Yudian curled the corner of his mouth.
"They've already put their hands in front of me, should I continue to endure it?"
"But……"
Qiu Shuang wanted to persuade her again.
But Luo Yudian couldn't bear to listen any longer.
"At this point, we can only give it a try." Luo Yudian waved her hand fiercely and pulled down the golden hollow incense ball hanging on the gauze curtain. "If it succeeds, that would be great. Even if it doesn't, it won't affect me. At most, I'll just be treated coldly."
She stood up suddenly, looked around, and suddenly chuckled.
This laughter carried years of accumulated depression and sadness.
"I have lived through this kind of life for long enough. What else is there to be afraid of?"
Qiu Shuang sniffed and nodded vigorously.
"Yes, I will go and tell the cook right away."
She squatted down, bowed deeply, then turned around and walked out.
Shujing Hall is located at the westernmost part of the imperial palace's back garden, and is separated from Ye Ting by only a wall. Although many people go to and from the palace from Ye Ting every day, Shujing Hall is the most deserted place in the palace.
If the emperor doesn't come, what's the use of having more servants?
Luo Yudian could no longer remember when was the last time she had slept with the emperor.
As early as when she was in the Eastern Palace, Li Ce had disliked her.
No, it seemed like it was even earlier, when Li Ce stopped recruiting her in the palace.
Thinking back to when she was in the palace, she had hopes, thoughts, and complaints. She had been favored before, but it was too short-lived, a flash in the pan, and before she could do anything, the favor was gone.
After that, she tried many ways to regain Li Ce's favor.
But what's the use?
In Li Ce's eyes, he could only see Jiang Wanyue.
Obviously, she was not particularly beautiful, but Li Ce just couldn't stop lusting after her.
Why?
For her, Li Ce helped rehabilitate the Jiang family, gave them high positions, and even handed over their legitimate sons and daughters to her for discipline, paving the way for her to become the queen.
It was obvious that I came here first, and it was obvious that Ze'er was older than Li Chengxu!
Why?
Why!
"Jiang Wanyue, Jiang Wanyue, you have been favored for too long. You don't even know how many people are hoping that you will fall!"
Luo Yudian stroked the gauze in his hand and whispered to himself.
