"Emperor, since Concubine Yun is not here, what should we do now? Should we wait here or go back first?"

Yan Zhou raised his eyebrows gently and said, "We won't wait here, and we won't go back first." He pointed to the servant who had just come to explain to him at the door and said, "You, take me to find Concubine Yun. I have something important to discuss with Concubine Yun, and it will not be delayed.

The man was timid and did not dare to agree to Yan Zhou's request, but was frightened by the guard behind Yan Zhou's sword. Thinking that Concubine Yun did not say that she would not let him take him over, she trembled and led Yan Zhou and his party to the yard.

In the small courtyard where Yun Yizhu was imprisoned, the guards had already surrounded the place on three floors inside and three floors inside. Because Yun Yizhu was sick, He Qingyun brought many people and blocked the yard.

A loud slap sounded from the house, and a figure in a pink palace skirt fell to the ground all of a sudden. Half of the face that was beaten quickly swollen. Several marks of fingernails could be seen vaguely. People around who saw this scene couldn't help but gasp.

"I have told you that you are not allowed to act on your own. You have made exceptions again and again. Ruyi, do you think that I am too tolerant of you? Are you the master or I am the master?"

Ruyi only felt that after the slap came down, she was completely confused. Something was buzzing in her mind, and she didn't react to what was happening for a while. He Qingyun's words were like they were coming from the horizon, making her unable to hear them sincerely.

After reacting, Ruyi, who was beaten to the side, immediately straightened up, knelt down to He Qingyun, pulled He Qingyun's skirt and begged: "Empress, I'm wrong, I really didn't expect Yun Yizhu to get sick because of this... I just wanted to teach her a lesson. I just thought that Sister Ruyan had spent all her martial arts skills by her, so she also sacked her martial arts. I really didn't mean it."

Her left face was still red and swollen, with tears of prayer and desire in her eyes, looking like a pitiful victim.

But not many people sympathized with her, because her words were not the whole truth at all, and what she did was not just to destroy Yun Yizhu's martial arts.

He Qingjun kicked Ruyi away at his feet and said in a sinister tone: "Get out, you'd better pray that Yun can save this life with a candle, otherwise she would deliberately be happy to wait for you in Huangquan Road Mountain."

The anger and malice in her tone were about to burn her whole body. The people around her, especially Ruyi, knew what Yun Yizhu meant to her, but Ruyi actually disobeyed her orders. She really wanted to use a knife to kill the slave in front of her who was indifferent.

This incident is also very accidental. Yun Yizhu was locked in this yard. Although there were many people guarding her, no one would keep watching her in the room. She was just guarding her outside. Her own hands and feet were tied and she could not move.

So she had been hot for almost all night, but no one noticed it. It was not until the morning when someone came to deliver breakfast to her that she found that she was tied to a wooden pillar, soaked in sweat, and her face was pale and shaking clouds, which made Yan Zhou's spy discover the scene when the doctor came.

The culprit of all this is because the woman lying on the ground now, after the doctor's diagnosis, Yun Yizhu was obviously injured before, which caused her body to be weak, and there were scars in other parts of her body. Originally, these injuries were not bleeding or fatal, and they would only make Yun Yizhu weak for a while.

What I imagine is that the Empress only needs Yun Yizhu's blood. She can bully Yun Yizhu and breathe well, as long as she does not leave the scars in the visible place. Moreover, when Yun Yizhu was beaten, she kept looking at her with a sneer, without a wail, which was simply the best tool for her to deflate.

But they never thought about the consequences of the heavy rain from yesterday to late at night.

The yard where Yun Yizhu was imprisoned was very remote and had no one to live in for many years, so it was a little abandoned and had not been repaired. The heavy rain outside the house continued, and the light rain inside the house did not stop.

The already old house finally couldn't cover the heavy rain, and it dripped on Yun Yizhu little by little. Because of Ruyi's martial arts being nullified by Ruyi, and the injuries left by Ruyi on her body, Yun Yizhu was very weak. In addition to this rain, she inevitably started the heat.

But Yun Yizhu himself didn't say anything at all, so the guards outside didn't know about this, and they only discovered it in the morning.

The doctor said that if the fever can be reduced, it may still be able to save a life. If the fever cannot be reduced, I am afraid that this person will not be saved.

If Yun Yizhu was still awake, he would definitely complain that the doctor cursed her when he heard him. After all, even if such a small cold and fever is very serious, it would not cost her life. However, in this era, there are really many people who died of cold and fever.

It was precisely because of this that He Qingyun was so angry that she couldn't even listen to Ruyi's begging for mercy and slapped her first.

Just as Ruyi kept pulling He Qingjun's skirt and admitting his mistakes and pleading with mercy, or even pulling Ruyan to make a shield for herself, a woman in black dress suddenly walked into the door of the room behind her.

Her steps were so silent that when someone noticed her existence, she had already walked into the middle of the room, and a cold voice sounded in the room.

"Ruyi, don't use me as a shield. Is it really that difficult to directly admit that it is your own fault?"

As soon as the voice came out, Ruyi, who was still crying, wanted to arouse He Qingyun's sympathy, suddenly felt like a quilt was choking her neck, and a sound was released.

She turned her head to look at the woman who had just walked in, and her face seemed to see a ghost-like expression on her face. She lay on the ground and kept retreating. At the same time, she opened her mouth and said in a low voice that she didn't know what she was saying, which made everyone around her very puzzled.

Only when Ruyan, who was close to her, heard Ruyi's words, she kept saying: "No, it's impossible, how could you come back? How could you come back? The place beside the Empress is mine. I am the palace maid whom the Empress relies most, and I am..."

Ruyan looked at Ruyi with a complicated expression and couldn't help but sigh. She was obviously a good sister who worked for the Empress together back then, but she didn't know why Ruyi became like this now. Is power and status really so important? You are just a slave.

Because of this sudden scene, everyone around him noticed the woman in black, and He Qingyun was no exception.
