Chapter 207 Paradox
"Your Majesty? Since you are dissatisfied with me, you should punish me directly. Why attack them?"
Hearing the emperor say this, Ruyi couldn't believe it. She didn't expect the emperor would punish her in this way.
Does the emperor want to use these to force her to submit?
"Queen, are you only now feeling fearful? You've disobeyed me so many times over the years, so why don't you think about the people around you? Oh, even if you beg now, it's too late!"
"As the Empress, you should consider more than just these things. Go back to your Yikun Palace and reflect on your mistakes. Even if you've never been an Empress before, with Empress Xiaoxian as your predecessor, it shouldn't be difficult for you to learn from her, right?"
Ruyi was originally feeling sad and aggrieved because the emperor punished the people around her, but when she heard the name "Empress Xiaoxian", the anger in her heart was instantly ignited.
Empress Xiaoxian...the woman who once occupied the throne of the Central Palace has always been an indelible shadow in Ruyi's heart. Since she became empress, countless people have compared her to Empress Xiaoxian, as if she could never compare to the deceased empress.
The palace maids, the concubines who came out of the palace, the empress dowager, and even her bedmate were comparing her with Empress Xiaoxian.
Ruyi was almost going crazy. When she heard the emperor say this in person, she felt like her internal organs were burning with anger.
Since she was no match for Empress Xiaoxian in every way, why did the Emperor choose her to be the Empress? Wouldn't it be better to choose Concubine Chun, who was recommended by Empress Xiaoxian?
"Oh, Your Majesty is thinking of Empress Xiaoxian now. If you had known this would happen, why didn't Your Majesty treat her well? If you hadn't been so suspicious of her, thinking she was the one who killed Concubine Gao, she wouldn't have died at such a young age, filled with hatred. Since Your Majesty was thinking of Empress Xiaoxian, why did you marry her only daughter off to Mongolia when she was in poor health?"
Ruyi had a cold face, and every word she said was murderous and heartbreaking.
"presumptuous!"
bang——
With a crisp sound, the fine white porcelain brush washer fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Ruyi was startled, her face pale, her eyes wide open, staring blankly at what was happening before her. She had not expected this scene, and her heart was filled with astonishment and fear.
The emperor was breathing heavily, his face full of anger, staring at Ruyi fiercely. His eyes were filled with anger and disappointment, as if he wanted to eat Ruyi alive.
Ruyi felt a chill running down her spine, her whole body shivering, her legs weak, and she could barely stand. She couldn't help but secretly thankful that there was a table between them, otherwise, given the emperor's current mood, he might really rush over and attack her.
The emperor was so angry that his chest heaved violently, his breathing became rapid, and his voice trembled: "You...how dare you!" He widened his eyes, unable to believe that Ruyi would be so bold as to say such words to her face.
Her heartbeat quickened, sweat soaked her forehead, and her fingers trembled slightly. Knowing that the situation was irreversible, Ruyi felt a strange feeling in her heart.
A sneer crossed her cheek.
Since things have come to this, Ruyi might as well just speak out.
"Your Majesty is so furious, was it because I predicted it? Your Majesty is always like this, Concubine Gao, Empress Xiaoxian, even Yonghuang. When they were around, you didn't cherish them, and now you pretend to miss them. Now that they're gone, who are you pretending to be for?"
After hearing this, the emperor could no longer tolerate it.
He stood up from the dragon throne, walked in front of Ruyi, and spoke.
"So this is what you've been thinking of me all these years? This is my good queen. So, in the eyes of the queen I personally chose, I am actually such a person."
