Chapter 249 Revenge
Chapter 249 Revenge
At this time, Ling Yunche was still serving as his cold palace guard in the Forbidden City.
As a humble guard in the cold palace, he could not accompany the emperor on his outings as before and stay by Ruyi's side silently.
For some reason, he always felt something was wrong recently.
I always feel uneasy.
Everything was too peaceful. Ever since Concubine Ling came to power, everything in the palace had been peaceful.
But based on his understanding of Yan Wan, she would never be content with this.
After all, what she was eyeing was not only the power to control the harem, but also the throne of the empress that countless concubines had been vying for.
It’s a pity that he couldn’t go to the Old Summer Palace, and he could only pray for the Queen in his heart, wishing her all the best.
As night fell, the cold palace gradually became quiet, and the cold and lonely palace walls were hidden in the darkness. Although it was midsummer, there was a faint chill.
Most of the masters went to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat, and those who stayed in the palace to work became somewhat lazy.
The people on duty skipped work to go out for a drink, and he was the only one who stubbornly stayed in front of the cold palace.
If it were any other time, he might have taken the opportunity to ask for some relief.
But now, he was defeated to such an extent that the people around him left and dispersed, and his only close friend Zhao Jiuxiao was sent to the Old Summer Palace.
He had nowhere to go and nowhere to vent, so he could only spend the long night alone in the cold palace.
"That's him! Catch him!"
He was leaning against the wall in a daze when he heard a shout in the distance. He looked up and saw a group of people chasing after him.
Ling Yunche turned around and ran without thinking.
But he had been seriously injured before, and all his skills were almost wasted. He was pinned down before he could run two steps.
"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?"
Ling Yunche's face flushed red, and he was unable to break free from their grip. He could only make a final cry in a humiliating posture.
"What are you arguing about? It's the middle of the night, can't you let me sleep? Just knock him out, so as not to disturb the wandering ghosts and disturb my sweet dreams..."
A cold and fierce voice came from the darkness, carrying a hint of joy and arrogance.
Ling Yunche tried hard to see the man's figure clearly, but he only caught a glimpse of a corner of gorgeous purple and gold clothing, and his eyes went dark and he fainted.
With a bang, a green brick fell to the ground, and Ling Yunche was dragged away, leaving a long drag mark on the fallen leaves.
……
"It's you."
Ling Yunche woke up after being knocked unconscious and found himself lying on the ground tied up. There was only Jinzhong in front of him. He was not surprised because the emperor did not let him go after all.
"Young Master, I came here... to ask you something."
Jinzhong dragged out the last word, crossed his arms over his chest, leaned on the table beside him and looked down at him.
"What do you want to ask?"
"Why don't you help her?"
Jinzhong's expression suddenly turned fierce as he stared at him.
"what?"
Ling Yunche replied subconsciously.
"She was with Concubine Jia for five years, why didn't you try to help her?"
Seeing that he couldn't even remember these things, the cruelty in Jinzhong's eyes became even stronger.
These hatreds gradually gathered into a ferocious beast, as if it was ready to break free from its restraints and tear the person in front of it apart at any time.
"I'm just a guard..."
Ling Yunche finally understood who he was talking about and subconsciously wanted to defend himself.
But before he could finish, Jinzhong came up and grabbed his neck.
The feeling of suffocation came like a tide, and he almost fainted again. His ghostly voice, like a call for death, reached his ears.
"Why didn't you help her? You don't know anything. She's been through so much hardship in the palace all these years. Do you know that she came to Concubine Jia's palace because of your noble Queen Mother? When she went to Empress Fucha's palace, she wore the Yaohuang Peony. How could such a beautiful and intelligent person not even recognize the Yaohuang Peony? And Yan Wan was asked to be Concubine Jia's concubine because she gave her the Yaohuang Peony and looked like the young Ruyi..."
Jin Zhonghen.
He has never forgotten it over the years, and he dare not forget it.
He hated himself for not meeting her earlier in his previous life, hated himself for not coming back to save her earlier in this life, and hated himself for not being able to stop her from suffering for the past ten years in both his past and present lives.
No, not ten years.
Two years in the Flower House, five years in Qixiang Palace, a total of fourteen years in two lives.
He remembered all these for her.
All this hatred, along with his love for her, lingered in his heart. As she became better to him, his love, over the years, became deeply embedded in his flesh and blood.
Whenever Jinzhong saw the person who had hurt her still living a good life, she hated him to the core.
Why, she had suffered so much, but those who hurt her are living happily.
He said that he would find them and repay them one by one for her.
It’s almost time, it’s almost time, they are now being defeated one by one.
If Ling Yunche is dealt with as soon as possible, then only Ruyi and that... emperor will be left.
