Chapter 230 The Madness of Unrequited Love
Chapter 230 The Madness of Unrequited Love
Yin Ruyi was horrified and hurriedly explained,
"Your Majesty, Sister Fang's injury is not serious, just rest.
The Crown Princess was narrow-minded. After seeing Sister Fang’s beauty, she ordered her maid to push Sister Fang down, causing both of her knees to be fractured…”
Before Yin Ruyi finished speaking, King Rui became angry.
"Damn it! Since the prince couldn't protect her, why did he force her into the den of tigers and wolves in the East Palace?"
As soon as the angry words came out of his mouth, King Rui slammed his fist on the bed frame in front of him.
*
"Ah?"
Yin Ruyi screamed in fright. She could feel the bed frame shaking violently, as if if she punched it again, the entire bed frame would collapse in the next second.
Just when she was panicking, a pair of big hands reached out to her.
The unsuspecting Yin Ruyi was suddenly picked up by King Rui, who then placed her steadily on his legs.
Yin Ruyi, who was still in shock, had no idea what would happen to her next. She was shaking with fear, and her face turned pale as she closed her eyes.
King Rui chuckled softly, his voice becoming gentle.
"Be good, don't be afraid, I won't hit you again.
You are very smart. But don't use your intelligence in the wrong place. You need to be sensible, okay?"
Yin Ruyi, who was still in shock, nodded quickly.
Liang Hengrui gently lifted Yin Ruyi's veil and said,
"Come here, my beloved, let me see your injury. Oh! Tsk tsk tsk, look at your swollen face, does it hurt? It's all my fault for losing my composure this morning. Don't worry, I will make it up to you."
Yin Ruyi knew that her face was like a pig's head and had no beauty at all.
But Liang Hengrui's eyes were as gentle as water.
This gave Yin Ruyi an illusion that Prince Rui really loved her deeply.
She seemed to see again the Prince Rui who had taken such good care of her last night.
Yin Ruyi's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly. Fear and excitement intertwined together.
*
She lowered her head in shame, and warned herself in her heart,
“Yin Ruyi, it doesn’t matter whether the prince treats you well because of Fang Qingge.
Since you made the right bet, if you want to survive, you must firmly grasp even a fraction of King Rui’s kindness and never lose it again.”
After admonishing herself, Yin Ruyi raised her head, her eyes sparkling brightly. She said shyly,
"My Lord, I am sensible."
"Hehehe..."
King Rui looked at these beautiful eyes that were out of tune with her swollen little face and couldn't help but chuckle.
He raised his hand to turn her little face, and just stared at her profile infatuatedly, as if he was looking at Fang Qingge.
Yin Ruyi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She wanted to twist her body, but she didn't dare to. She called out softly,
"Your Majesty?"
"Shh!"
King Rui suddenly hugged her tightly, rested his head on her neck, closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said,
"It smells like her!"
When Yin Ruyi heard the voice, her heart was still broken.
*
At this moment, envy, jealousy and hatred made Yin Ruyi want to kill Fang Qingge more than ever before.
Why did the two most noble and outstanding men in the world fall at her feet?
why?
Time passed by,
Yin Ruyi dared not speak, nor move, maintaining an unchanged posture, her body tightly held in a warm embrace, as if she was afraid of losing herself.
Yin Ruyi felt unspeakable pain in her heart.
After a long time, King Rui finally spoke.
"My beloved, please tell me about Qingge in detail. To be honest, I have never met her face to face! Hehehe..."
Liang Hengrui thought of Fang Qingge's two encounters, both of which he only saw her profile. He couldn't help but recall the past.
"Qingge is so beautiful with every move she makes!"
Hearing this, Yin Ruyi's heart skipped a beat. Did she know the secret of King Rui now? She panicked again, fearing that the more she knew, the faster she would die.
"Yes, my Lord. I will tell you everything I know.
Sister Fang is indeed extremely beautiful. She is a beauty that is hard to forget at first sight.
Because she was too beautiful, on the first day she entered the Eastern Palace, the jealous Crown Princess ordered two senior palace maids to push her down, causing her to injure her knee.
Later, I learned about the situation and went to visit her. Sister Fang personally welcomed me into Yiqiu Courtyard on crutches."
Having said that, Yin Ruyi secretly glanced at Prince Rui and saw that his face was terribly gloomy.
*
She continued to make up stories in fear.
"But the Yiqiu Courtyard where Sister Fang lives is still pretty good. The yard is very large, with rockery and fish ponds, and the furniture and furnishings in the main house are very luxurious.
I asked, and Sister Fang said she was living very comfortably, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treated Sister Fang very well. As for the knee injury, it would be fine if she took care of it slowly! She also told me not to worry about her.
When leaving, Sister Fang also revealed that the Crown Prince had confined the Crown Princess. "
After listening to this, Liang Hengrui twisted his fingers and said nothing for a while.
*
After a moment he said unhappily,
"Did you look at her and say she was sincere or was she just forcing a smile?"
"Your Majesty, I feel that what Sister Fang said is sincere. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really good to her. Her smile cannot be fake."
"Humph! Is she so easily satisfied? She is just a concubine. If the prince really likes her, why would he only give her a small title of concubine?
Since she can't be the main wife, she can be a concubine, right?! What's more, she gave birth to a pair of children for the prince?"
Yin Ruyi was listening to the words of King Rui, feeling upset when she suddenly heard about the child. She was surprised and said,
"Your Highness, Sister Fang? Has she ever given birth to a child?"
"Remember, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. By the way, Princess, you will have to take care of the children and won't be able to go to the mother's palace to pay respects. You should often go to the mother to show your filial piety, and stop by your good sister's place. Do you understand what I mean?"
Yin Ruyi concealed the shock in her heart and nodded her head in assurance.
"Understand...I understand. Don't worry, Your Majesty. As long as the Imperial Concubine allows me to go to the palace, I will definitely go to visit Sister Fang."
"Hehehe...be good."
At this moment, Liang Hengrui was very satisfied after learning about Fang Qingge's words. Suddenly, he felt as if a beautiful scene appeared in front of him, with birds singing and flowers blooming.
Today, my heart, which was broken into pieces, seems to have been mended again.
*
Liang Hengrui smiled happily.
"My dear, how can I ignore such a considerate concubine? Come, let me love you."
He gently untied the knot on Yin Ruyi's dress.
Suddenly he said,
"My beloved, get well soon. Then bring the gifts to the East Palace. Qingge will definitely give you gifts in return. Don't forget to bring them back carefully."
"Well, my Lord, don't worry. I'll remember it."
“So good…”
