Chapter 357 Restraining Emotions
"Brother An, my babies and I are protected by the space robot Xiao Qi. Now you are the most important person our family needs to protect.
Don’t you still want to learn knowledge in modern time and space?
Although the elf's space cannot connect to the Internet at present, I can download it for you in the space, and you can study it secretly over there!"
This sentence hit the prince's mind, leaving him speechless. He gently hugged her into his arms.
It was already late, so the two of them left the space.
At night, the family of four huddled together to sleep. The babies, who were still unaware of the situation, chirped and kissed their daddy for half the night before falling asleep.
Because the babies were there, the two could only hold hands and stayed awake all night in physical and mental torture.
**
A few happy and sad,
But that night, the Prince Rui's Palace seemed to have fallen into an ice cave.
As soon as the banquet was over, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress left first.
When Concubine Xiao left, Prince Rui didn't even look at her.
The brocade handkerchief in Concubine Xiao's hand was almost torn to pieces, and she was helped away by two senior palace maids.
Prince Rui returned home with Concubine Li, Chang Ge'er and Concubine Yin with a gloomy face.
*
The carriage entered the Ruiwang Palace.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Prince Rui pointed at Yin Ruyi and said,
"Lock this bitch in the inner courtyard woodshed and keep her under close watch."
Yin Ruyi was so scared that she was restless all the way. Knowing that she would be punished by King Rui, she was still timid and frightened. She knelt on the ground and begged for mercy loudly.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation! Your Majesty..."
"Gag your mouth."
King Rui shouted loudly and strode forward.
"Well,"
A guard behind him responded and bowed to Concubine Yin.
"Concubine Yin, I'm sorry!"
After saying that, he walked forward, grabbed Yin Ruyi's arm and lifted her up like an eagle catching a chick.
"No, Your Majesty, spare my life. Your Majesty..."
Yin Ruyi's voice of begging for mercy was shrill, and after her mouth was suddenly blocked, she was still roaring in her throat.
Chang Ge'er in the nurse's arms was so frightened that he burst into tears. Concubine Li's face turned pale and her legs trembled.
"Go, go. Go quickly. Carry the little prince and go quickly."
Unable to take care of herself, she waved her hands with a trembling voice, and was supported by the maids as she staggered back to the inner courtyard.

Outside study,
As soon as Liang Hengrui entered the room, he kicked a chair over with a loud bang.
The counselor Jiang Bai who followed closely behind was startled.
"Your Highness, why bother with war?"
Liang Hengrui had a gloomy face and did not answer.
Jiang Bai hurriedly picked up the fallen chair and tried to persuade him again.
"Your Highness, even though the Crown Prince was not put to death this time, at least the Emperor asked him to guard the Imperial Mausoleum for a year, which gives us a year's opportunity, right?!"
After a long while, King Rui said angrily with a livid face,
"Mr. Jiang, this is not just for this matter. I am so angry! I never thought that one day I, Liang Hengrui, would be deceived to this extent by my own woman, my mother, and my grandfather!"
Having said this, he had no way to vent the anger in his heart, so he stretched out his hand and swept all the papers, ink, brushes, inkstones, pen holders and official documents on the desk to the ground.
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came one after another.
The young master Xiaodong at the door shrank his neck in fear.
*
Jiang Bai's heart tightened, but he immediately relaxed. He stroked his goatee, watched King Rui panting as he sat down on the chair, and filled a cup of hot tea for him.
"Your Majesty, anger is harmful to your health. Please calm down. Can you tell me something that I don't know?"
Liang Hengrui glanced at Jiang Bai.
"Why do you, an old fox, have to play dumb in front of me?"
Prince Rui was so angry that he didn't even call him Mr. Jiang.
"How can my little tricks be hidden from the prince's sharp eyes?!"
Jiang Bai laughed, bowed to ease the atmosphere and said,
"Your Majesty, that day you mentioned Fang Liangdi's identity. I pondered for a long time.
In fact, today’s accident cannot be entirely blamed on Concubine Yin.
Have you ever thought about why the Imperial Concubine and the Prime Minister kept this matter so secret that even our people didn't notice anything unusual?"
*
King Rui looked up at Jiang Bai.
"explain."
"Well, think about it, since Fang Liangdi fell off the cliff and had an accident, besides helping the emperor with government affairs in the imperial study, what have you done in your spare time?
Please forgive me for speaking frankly.
How long has it been since you asked about those private soldiers we secretly raised?
Even when you were in the palace, you rarely visited the sick imperial concubine, let alone stepped into the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Since then, the Prime Minister and the Imperial Concubine have been dissatisfied with you.
After hearing that Fang Liangdi survived the disaster, her dissatisfaction reached its peak.
"But their purpose in doing this is to force Fang Qingge to death, why don't they consider my feelings?!
What is most difficult for this king to accept is that I was kept in the dark about what happened today."
"Your Majesty, your attention to Fang Liangdi is too much. It has exceeded the limit of admiration."
Liang Hengrui didn't say anything for a moment, he clenched his fists.
Suddenly he asked,
"Is my behavior so obvious? Did my father and the crown prince notice it? Did Fang Qingge also notice my feelings for her?"
*
Jiang Bai secretly sighed in his heart, but still told the truth.
"Your Majesty, you have always been very efficient in doing things, but you lost your composure when it came to Fang Liang Di.
I feel that if you continue to be stubborn, the Prime Minister and the Imperial Concubine will secretly find an opportunity to get rid of her. Fang Liangdi's life is in danger!
Therefore, I advise you to control your emotions and appease Concubine Yin. After all, she has become the spy of the Imperial Concubine. If you deal with her this time, Fang Liangdi will die faster. "
*
Jiang Bai's earnest words made Liang Hengrui feel bitter. His eyes turned red and he said to Jiang Bai,
"Mr. Jiang, why can't I even have the woman I love? Everything is not going as I wish now. I am miserable enough. Why do my mother and grandfather want to deprive me of my only wish?"
After saying this, he held his forehead with one hand and lowered his head in pain. Jiang Bai stepped back a few steps and bowed,
"Your Majesty, a little impatience can ruin a great plan! I will take my leave."
After saying that, he walked out without waiting for King Rui to speak. Eunuch Xiao Dongzi looked at Jiang Bai coming out,
"Mr. Jiang, the prince?"
"Don't go in yet. Let the prince calm down. Our prince is a scheming man with deep thoughts."
After the voice, which was neither loud nor soft, finished speaking, it walked away, but Liang Hengrui in the study heard it clearly.
He couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
*
After a long time,
"Dongzi,"
When Xiao Dongzi heard King Rui's cry,
"Yes." He quickly responded and pushed the door open.
King Rui looked at Xiao Dongzi, who was standing outside the door with a pale face due to the cold, and ordered,
"Put Concubine Yin back!"
"Well, I'll do it right away."
