Hongli's temper has become much worse now. Everyone in the palace noticed the annoyance he showed towards Ruyi this morning, except Ruyi herself.

After coming out of the Cining Palace, Hai Lan felt more and more that Ruyi was in a very dangerous situation and could no longer care about anything else. She ignored Hongli's previous decree that no one outside the palace was allowed to enter the palace, and sent someone to call Yongqi, who was outside the palace, in.

The ghosts and gods were so terrifying that after the first night of the battle royale, some people thought about escaping from the palace and finding a way to survive.

After finally escaping, I found myself back in the vast snowy field at night.

What’s even more terrifying is that when they wake up the next day, their bodies will be carried back to the palace by ghosts and gods again!

In addition to being unable to escape, there is another scary thing, that is, as long as outsiders enter the Forbidden City, they will be treated equally by ghosts and gods and be kept there!

It was precisely because of such an incident that, early this morning, after dealing with the funeral affairs of Concubine Rong and Concubine Ke, Hongli immediately ordered the palace gates to be closed.

Most of the court officials were well-connected and had long known what was happening in the palace, and no one dared to express an opinion.

Especially when they saw that several ministers tried to leave the palace every day, but were carried back at night, they became even quieter than chickens.

It doesn't matter if the emperor can't attend court. At most they can hold a small meeting with a few military ministers, and then slip a small number of memorials that must be handled by the emperor into the palace through the crack of the Shenwu Gate. After the emperor has reviewed them, they will send Li Yu to slip them out.

In order not to affect the stability of the government, everyone has worked very hard and felt very sad these two days.

Hai Lan knew all these things clearly. Once that person stepped into the palace, he would not be able to leave.

But she didn't care, she urgently needed a helper.

A helper who can unconditionally help her and let Ruyi survive to the end.

And who else could be more suitable to be this helper except Yongqi?

Hai Lan knew very well in her heart that Yong Qi was filial and kind, and she had taught him to respect Ruyi since he was a child, so only he could make Hai Lan feel at ease.

Yongqi is such a good kid, he will definitely not betray her and her sister!

People outside the palace are not allowed to enter the palace, but that does not affect people inside the palace from leaving.

After hearing the order from Hai Lan conveyed to him by Ye Xin, Yongqi felt heartbroken.

"...Please ask Aunt Ye Xin to go back and tell my mother that I will go to the palace to pay my respects to her later."

Ye Xin went back to report, but Yongqi still had a pale face.

He stood there in silence for a long while, and suddenly laughed for no apparent reason.

"I have been wondering since I was a child, why did my mother give birth to me when she hated my father so much? Now, I finally know."

"Master... please don't do this..."

Yongqi's eyes turned red unconsciously as he laughed. Hu Yunjiao felt a pain in her heart when she saw this, and she quickly stepped forward to support him as he was shaking.

"Now I finally understand. I am not my mother's child. I am just... just a chess piece of hers, nothing more..."

Hu Yunjiao looked at Yongqi, whose face was full of self-mockery, and tears could not stop falling. She held Yongqi's hand tightly, and only then realized that his palms were full of cold sweat.

"Master, everyone knows what a mess the palace is in now. The emperor has also issued a clear decree not to allow outsiders to enter the palace. You should just listen to what Concubine Yu said and don't go!"

Yongqi felt somewhat relieved when he saw Hu Yunjiao's worried face. He patted the woman's hand that was tightly holding his and shook his head helplessly.

"After all, she gave birth to me and raised me. My mother can be cruel to me, but I cannot be unfilial to her. This time, I will just give my life back to her!"

Looking at Yongqi like this, Hu Yunjiao hesitated again and again, and finally made up her mind. She no longer cared about her fear of the palace and decided to accompany him on this journey.

"I'll go with you!"

Her body is like this anyway, and her tone is always a mixture of hatred and love, painful and resentful. She might as well take this opportunity to become a desperate couple with Yongqi!

Not to mention that Yongqi and Hu Yunjiao were pouring out their hearts to each other, let's just say that after the people in the palace heard about Hai Lan's outrageous actions, they all thought she was crazy.

Others who have children are trying their best to protect their children, but she is the only one who wants to drag Yongqi, who is actually fine, into the water at this time.

But Hai Lan didn't care, she only had Ruyi in her heart at the moment.

In order to keep Ruyi alive, she can give up everything!

Yongqi was her child! She gave him life! Whatever she asked him to do was right!

In the midst of this madness, night soon fell again, and the entire Forbidden City quickly became quiet and solemn.

[The third night of the Battle Royale. ]

Ruyi's luck tonight was not as good as before. She met three or five eunuchs headed by Qin Li.

Qin Li is a eunuch in the Imperial Household Department. He is well-known for his ability to take advantage of the situation and is extremely good at changing his stance according to the situation.

Whenever Ruyi was neglected by Hongli, she would be treated harshly by the Imperial Household Department. But when she regained favor, Qin Li would crawl over to please her like a pug.

Logically speaking, a person as noble and proud as Ruyi should hate a treacherous villain like Qin Li, but for some reason, she just couldn't hate Qin Li.

Perhaps it was because she always enjoyed the way Qin Li fawned on her.

"Eunuch Qin, I didn't expect you to be here too."

You see, seeing that group of eunuchs eyeing her clothes and equipment, Ruyi pretended to be blind and pretended not to see it. She even had the leisure to greet Qin Li!

Qin Li encountered a robbery and assassination on the first night. The enemy was a young eunuch who had been bullied by him in every way. Fortunately, he was lucky and succeeded in counterattacking.

Therefore, after waking up the next day, Qin Li immediately gathered a few confidants and said that there were still many living people in the palace and it was not advisable to fight alone. It would be better for them to form a gang and rob better weapons and equipment.

The eunuchs all thought what he said made sense, so starting from the second night, they agreed on a place to gather and then wandered around like robbers.

You know what, gangs are very efficient when they commit crimes.

Qin Li and others have now confiscated a lot of sophisticated weapons, such as blades, wooden swords, nail clippers... and so on. Everyone's combat effectiveness has been significantly enhanced!

Now, they found Ruyi, the lone prey.

According to Qin Li's guess, those who could survive to the third night either had blood on their hands, or their weapons were so good that others would not dare to attack them.

Qin Li knew how A Ruo died.

Cat punishment.

Extremely cruel.

Precisely because he had seen how tragically A Ruo died, he did not think that Ruyi would be a kind-hearted person.

Qin Li had now determined that Ruyi had killed someone, so he didn't waste any more words with her. He just waved his hand and several eunuchs surrounded Ruyi.

"How dare you! Eunuch Qin, what are you going to do?"

Now, Ruyi is the only one in the room who is confused and still trying to use her power to overwhelm others.
