"Little Master, it is a fact that you just beat us to death!" Several people said firmly, "Instead of being tortured to death by you little by little, it is better to let Concubine Chen give us justice like this!"

"Yes! We want justice!"

It can be seen that several minions have gone out together, just to fight to the death.

Rui Chang was so angry that his whole body was shaking, but there was nothing he could do.

"Rui Changzai, there's nothing you can do even if you're not convinced. The public's anger is hard to quell!" Shen Ruochen looked at his newly dyed nails and said slowly, "I'd say you've gone too far. What concubine wouldn't beat and scold her a few times?" Palace maid, you are not as ruthless as you! You are really powerful! I wonder what the emperor will do with you when he comes."

"I...I..." Ruichang panicked for a moment.

Shen Ruochen stood up slowly, walked to Rui Changzai, and whispered something unknown. Rui Changzai's face changed from frightened to happy, then from happy to scared, and finally... a little dazed.

"You don't have much time to think!" Shen Ruochen said, "In the past few days, you should have figured out your position in the emperor's heart. Even if the emperor doesn't relegate you to the cold palace, I'm afraid your life will not be as good as this impression. Will it feel better?"

"This...this..." Ruichang was stumbling and speechless. Her whole body was trembling, and even her lips were trembling. It could be seen that Ruichang was struggling hard in her heart.

"You...what are you going to do?"

"This has nothing to do with you. As long as you are obedient, I will ensure that you are fine. You will still be the Emperor's childhood sweetheart, a gentle and gentle person who will always be there." Shen Ruochen whispered.

"Then...these people..."

"I said, you don't have to worry about it!" Shen Ruochen became a little impatient and frowned, "I will give you another three counts of time. If you don't say anything, you will be pulled down! One!"

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell the emperor what you just said?" Ruichang asked.

"Do you think the emperor will believe it? Two!"

"But……"

"The Emperor is here!" Suddenly the eunuch shouted from outside the door. Rui Changzai shuddered instinctively and blurted out, "I do, I do!"

Shen Ruochen smiled coldly, "I thought you were going to walk all the way to the dark side!"

"Just one sentence, I don't know the rest and I won't tell you!"

"As you wish!" Shen Ruochen put on a smile and went to greet Emperor Yuan De, "I send my regards to the Emperor."

"Get up quickly," Emperor Yuande looked at Shen Ruochen with some surprise, "What did you call yourself just now? Did you remember what happened before?"

Shen Ruochen shook his head in embarrassment, "I see Rui Chang is learning the rules, but I... don't dare to disobey them."

"Oh," Emperor Yuande was a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted and comforted, "It's okay. If you don't remember, you won't remember. Let's not talk about it. Take your time."

After saying that, Emperor Yuan De took Shen Ruochen's hand and walked into the palace. Seeing Rui Chang there, he asked, "I heard what's wrong with you? You still have to invite me."

"Concubine..."

"It's dewy at night, so let's go in and talk," Shen Ruochen took the opportunity to say, "Cui'an, Aunt Lai, and Aunty Tuition, please come in, and everyone else should disperse. Don't crowd around here, it won't look good."

Everyone went in obediently, and those who dispersed dispersed.

After Emperor Yuan De sat down, before he could speak, Shen Ruochen said, "Xiao Dezi, please tell the emperor what's going on. I'm too lazy to talk."

"嗻!"

Emperor Yuande was not anxious to listen, but instead smiled and teased Shen Ruochen, "You are lazier than before. Why are you too lazy to speak?"

"Oh, my concubine has been asking for a long time, who wants to talk anymore? It has nothing to do with my concubine!" Looking at the innocent look, Emperor Yuan De was in a good mood.

"Okay! Then let me listen!"

Xiao Dezi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is what happened. Rui Chang was saying that he was too tired to learn the rules and always had to soak his feet at night. However, the hot water was supplied per person, and the small kitchen did not dare to give it too much. Duo, Ruichang didn't know the rules in the palace and thought it was because the servants were lazy and refused to take it, so he got into trouble with Cui'an, who was serving him. Cui'an felt aggrieved and retorted, and the two came to see the empress for comment. "

"That's it?" Emperor Yuan De looked at several people in disbelief, "That's it, why do you need to come to me?"

"Rui Changzai is the emperor's concubine after all, and we grew up together as childhood sweethearts. It's hard to deal with my concubine, so I can only invite the emperor to come."

Rui Changzai had been silent. Seeing that everyone who needed to speak had already spoken, it was his turn. But just as he was about to speak, he heard Emperor Yuan De say something that directly chilled him.

"What does it matter? You are the lord of the first palace, the concubine, and the assistant in charge of the sixth palace. You can take care of the people in your palace or other palaces! Besides, aren't you and I childhood sweethearts? What?"

Rui Changzai's heart really felt as if she had fallen into a cave of ice. The emperor's treatment of him... was really not as good as that of Shen Ruochen!

"Then about the Emperor..."

"It's easy to handle!" Emperor Yuan De looked at everyone and said, "Since there are rules, it is not easy to break the rules in the small kitchen. In this way, Ruichang will still receive according to the quota in the future. If you want more, just give more. Go to the small kitchen to get the charcoal fire yourself. I'll pay the extra money."

Rui Changzai was about to be happy when he heard Emperor Yuan De say, "But it is not good to beat the palace maid when she is innocent. Rui Changzai, please apologize to that girl. Look at the girl crying, how wronged she has been!"

"Your Majesty, I am always here to apologize to the maid, this..." Rui Changzai was unwilling and still wanted to plead.

"It's wrong to beat the palace maid for no reason! The palace maid is also the son of a father. Besides, Cui'an is not the one who is unruly. It must be you who are rude."

Rui Changzai was in a daze. Does the emperor seem to know Cui'an? how could be?

Xiao Dezi interrupted and explained, "Cui'an used to serve in the Yangxin Palace, but her father made great contributions when quelling the rebellion in the southwest."

"It's true," Emperor Yuande said, "Her ancestors have always been in the army. I saw that you didn't have a girl close to you at that time, so I pointed Cui'an to you. Since you two don't get along well, then you still have to raise her. The Heart Palace will serve you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cui An kowtowed with tears in his eyes.

"So Cui'an has this identity. Then the emperor might as well take this opportunity to give Cui'an a reward. How about..." Shen Ruochen suddenly smiled, "How about a marriage ceremony?"

"Marriage?"

"Yes, Cui'an is getting older too. This girl should get married. It can be regarded as a reward for her family's loyalty for generations, okay?"

"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Emperor Yuande smiled fondly.

Shen Ruochen smiled and said to Cui'an, "Cui'an, did you hear that the emperor has agreed? Tell me, do you have someone you like in your heart and ask the emperor to marry you?"
