But Ling Yunche was different. She had a mediocre impression of Ruyi at first, until Wei Yanwan was transferred from the Sizhiku to the eldest prince in Zhongcui Palace.

Wei Yanwan was attentive and gentle, and was very popular with the eldest prince and Concubine Chun, and received a lot of rewards.

She also used money to help Ling Yunche smooth out his connections so that he could move up the ladder and not have to be a small guard in the cold palace forever.

But Ling Yunche was a piece of useless mud. On the one hand, he did not refuse Wei Yanwan's offer of money to help him, and on the other hand, he accused Wei Yanwan of currying favor with the powerful and now looked down on him as a guard in the cold palace.

Seeing Ling Yunche's lack of ambition and his stubborn attitude, Wei Yanwan also felt disheartened. She had been working hard to live a good life, but Ling Yunche had been holding her back. She couldn't keep getting stuck in this mess.

So, after considering it, Wei Yanwan broke off her relationship with Ling Yunche.

Ling Yunche couldn't stand this. Why did Wei Yanwan look down on him? They were fine before. Did he want to be a guard in the cold palace? Wasn't it because those people only cared about family background?

A capable person like him also has his own pride. If those people don't choose him, he will not fawn on them.

When he was in a bad mood, he liked to drink. He happened to be seen by Ruyi when he was drunk. At that time, he made a bitter face and forced a smile to explain that it was because of a palace maid he liked, but that palace maid looked down on him and stayed away from him.

His words made Ruyi feel distressed. Not only did she comfort him, she also stood on Ling Yunche's side and blamed Wei Yanwan.

After their conversation, Ruyi admired Ling Yunche even more and felt that he was a man of affection, loyalty, and thoughtfulness.

Ling Yunche also got to know Ruyi again. She was of noble birth and had more experience than Wei Yanwan, who came from a bannerman family. She really understood him.

Ruyi's praise of Ling Yunche completely satisfied his inferiority complex and chauvinistic heart.

He just felt that Ruyi was the only one who understood him best in this world, so he started to interact more with Ruyi.

At first, the two were polite to each other, but later, every time Ling Yunche was in a bad mood and drank, he would lose his temper with Ruyi. Of course, he would never say that it was because he was in a bad mood, but because no one understood his distress.

Ruyi is also weird. Not only does she not blame Ling Yunche for losing his temper with her, she even feels more distressed for him.

Although the relationship between the two seemed to be very good, Ling Yunche didn't know whether he had forgotten or didn't think it was a big problem, and the handkerchief embroidered by Ruyi was still divided equally between the two.

Of course, she didn't take special care of her. Even this time when Ruyi asked Ling Yunche to go to Hailan to pass on a message, Ruyi gave Ling Yunche her last set of armor.

As惢心 looked at them, she felt that these two people were worthy of the so-called "feelings beyond love" and that they really had similar personalities.

They are all hypocritical and falsely noble people.

Hai Lan packed up some of her things and once again came to the cold palace to hand them over to Ruyi, who took them without hesitation. She then went on to talk about what Hai Lan should bring when she came to the cold palace next time.

Ruyi was still talking happily, not noticing at all that Hailan's eyes were full of distance towards her. There was no longer any sense of closeness towards Ruyi in her eyes.

Hai Lan did not stay long. She said a few words casually and left. She did not take Ruyi's words to heart. This was the last time she would visit her and she would not come again.

When Hailan came back from the cold palace, she was suddenly stopped when passing by the imperial garden.

"stop!"

Hai Lan turned around and saw that it was Concubine Mei. She quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to Concubine Mei."

Meipin didn't smile, and asked directly: "Did you come back from the cold palace?"

Hailan lowered her head timidly and whispered back, "Yes."

As soon as she finished speaking, Meipin slapped her in the face: "The Queen has made a promise not to let us concubines go to the cold palace, but you dare to go there without permission. It seems that you don't take the Queen seriously."

Hailan covered her face and sobbed. She shook her head and explained, "No, it's not like that. I have always respected the Queen. It's just that my sister is having a hard time. I... I only went there a few times."

Meipin's eyes were full of anger: "That commoner Ulanara deserved it. If she hadn't killed my child, would she have been sent to the cold palace? Not executing her but just sending her to the cold palace is already a leniency for her, and you still dare to help her."

"Since you don't know what's good for you, I will have to punish you on behalf of the Queen. You will kneel here for three hours to wake up your mind." Meipin said shamelessly.

Ye Xin, who was originally supporting Hai Lan, stepped forward and said, "Madam Meipin, Concubine Hai is the emperor's concubine just like you. You can't punish her except for the Empress."

Meipin glared at Ye Xin and said, "I am talking to your master, how can a servant like you have the right to speak here?"

"It seems that Lady Hai is the best at training the servants around her. She has taught them to be unruly."

Hai Lan pulled Ye Xin behind her and said to Meipin, "I went to the cold palace without permission. It was my fault. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Only then did Meipin nodded in satisfaction and left with Suyun.

If she hadn't heard about this by accident, she wouldn't have known that Hai Lan was sending things to that bitch Ruyi. That bitch killed her child and should have died in the cold palace. Hai Lan's help to that bitch really touched her reverse scale.

If she didn't punish Hai Lan, she would not be able to calm down the anger in her heart.

And Ruyi was so focused on praying for her poor child that she forgot about her enemy for a moment. She would not let her have an easy life even if she was sent to the cold palace.

Concubine Mei never doubted that it was not Ruyi who killed her child. Before in Changchun Palace, she saw with her own eyes the Empress produce evidence piece by piece, and it was impossible for her to fake it.

And there is A'ruo. Someone close to Ruyi pointed her out. A'ruo has always been by Ruyi's side, so she must be clear about what Ruyi has done.

Ruyi's panic and inability to defend herself made her even more certain that her child must have been killed by Ruyi.

She will never let Ruyi go.

After Meipin left, Hailan knelt on the gravel road. Palace maids and eunuchs passed by from time to time, and some were whispering, but Hailan turned a deaf ear to everything and just knelt there quietly.

Hailan was punished to kneel, and within a short while, most people in the harem received the news.

Hai Lan was caught by Concubine Mei and sent something to Ruyi in the cold palace. Since it was Concubine Jia's doing, she naturally wouldn't care. Concubine Hui didn't like Hai Lan and didn't pay any attention to it either.

Concubine Chun was the softest-hearted one, and she had a good relationship with Hai Lan before. She wanted to go to the Imperial Garden to help her, but the other concubines did not move, and she was too timid to take the lead.

The Queen is still taking care of Yonglian, and the people around her will not disturb her when she is busy.

For a moment, no one cared that Hailan was punished to kneel.

Hai Lan knelt for almost an hour, and the heavy rain that turned her evil came as expected. She raised her head and let the rain hit her face. Even the tears from the corners of her eyes disappeared with the rain. She clenched her fists, feeling that she was badly hurt by Ruyi.
