I just want to live a happy life

Back then, she, Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Luzi accused Ruyi of killing the children of Concubine Mei and Concubine Yi.

Afterwards, in order to conceal the truth, the families of Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Luzi were moved elsewhere by Concubine Hui. Now, she really didn't expect that Yu Hu would find their families so quickly.

If Yu Hu forced their family members to give her away, there was no guarantee that they would not give her away. Now that she had finally become the emperor's concubine, she didn't want to die.

But her father has always been working for Lord Gao, and the safety of her family depends on Lord Gao's decision, so she cannot say that Concubine Hui was also involved in this matter.

But she didn't want to take all the blame. The best plan now was for Ruyi to die in the cold palace. As long as she died, there would be no evidence against her, and people might even think she committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

So after A Ruo returned from the Yangxin Palace the next day, she started planning.

It had been a long time since the snake appeared in the cold palace, and the precautions there had been relaxed, which made it convenient for A Ruo to do her job.

So she had people sprinkle kerosene around the palace where Ruyi lived and had it set on fire at night.

When the fire started, Ruyi was sleeping soundly and she didn't feel it for a while. It was not until she started coughing unconsciously and her breathing became rapid that she realized something was wrong.

She saw that a fire had started where she was sleeping at some point, and the fire was very big. If she had woken up a step later, she might have been trapped in the sea of ​​fire.

At this moment, she didn't care about anything else. The most important thing now was to save her life.

She walked to the door of the room, and when she wasn't paying attention, the beam above her head fell down, but by the time she noticed it, it was too late to dodge, and it hit her leg.

She screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

"Ling Yunche! Ling Yunche!"

Ling Yunche drank tonight and is now sleeping soundly at the door of the cold palace. If he hadn't heard someone calling him, he might not have known it until the fire was out.

Ling Yunche woke up in shock and saw the fire in the cold palace. He was horrified, opened the door of the cold palace, and rushed in to save people.

He walked up to Ruyi and looked at her bleeding leg. Now was not the time to talk, so he immediately picked her up and let her sit at the gate of the cold palace.

He went to call for help to put out the fire.

It took half an hour to put out the fire, and the emperor, who heard the news, also came here.

The emperor is resting in the queen's palace tonight, so the queen also came here with him.

The Emperor and Ruyi have not seen each other for almost a year. Looking at Ruyi at this moment, the Emperor had a very complicated expression, with some pity in his eyes.

He asked softly: "How is your injury? Is it serious?"

However, Ruyi did not give him any expression. She turned her face to him and was indifferent to his questions.

The imperial physician who was treating Ruyi replied, "Your Majesty, the left leg of Ulanara was injured. I'm afraid it will leave a scar."

The emperor frowned and said, "Can it be restored?"

The imperial physician shook his head. It seemed that it was impossible. Forget it. It was already good enough to save a life.

The emperor looked at the situation in the cold palace after the fire was put out. He thought that this time, just like last time, the murderer behind the scenes could not hold on any longer and wanted to kill Ruyi to silence her.

Her repeated actions made him more and more convinced that Ruyi was wrongly imprisoned in the cold palace.

He looked down at Ruyi. She really was like two different people now and then.

Now she is skinny, her originally fair and smooth face has become rough, and even has some small scars. She wears gray clothes with patches in some places. Her hands were originally fat, and now they are even fatter, red and swollen.

The emperor sighed, untied the cloak he was wearing, put it on Ruyi, and assured her: "Just hold on for a while longer, don't worry, I will definitely take you out of the cold palace."

Hearing this, Ruyi's eyes moved, but she still didn't speak.

The queen, who had been standing behind the emperor, also heard what the emperor said. She frowned unconsciously, but soon her expression relaxed.

What is she worried about? Hasn't she thought it through clearly? No matter whether it is the current Ruyi or the previous Ruyi, no one can threaten her position.

As long as she is alive and well, no one can take away her position as queen.

Seeing Ruyi's appearance, she stepped forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, life in the cold palace is hard, and I'm sure Ruyi is not having a good time either. Otherwise, I'll have someone prepare some things to make Ruyi's life better."

Hearing this, the emperor nodded and said, "Okay, the queen is virtuous, let's do as you say."

The emperor took one last look at Ruyi and left with the queen.

It was not until then that Ruyi took action. She looked in the direction where the emperor left and saw him holding the queen's hand considerately. This scene made her eyes hurt.

She had never envied the Queen as much as she did today.

He was falsely accused and sent to the cold palace, where he struggled every day just to stay alive. As for the queen, she was always high above him, and was treated with great wealth and luxury.

Just now when the Queen came in front of him, she didn't even have the courage to look up at her, for fear of seeing contempt and disdain in her eyes.

It was not like this before. Although she did not become the emperor's empress, the emperor gave her the Ruyi, which symbolized the position of the legitimate wife, at the beginning. It was Fu Cha Langya who snatched her position, so she could always hold her head high in front of her.

She even looked down on her from a high position in her heart, thinking that even if you became the queen, the emperor would never have you in his heart.

But today, she no longer has the courage to look down on her. There is really a huge difference between her and the Queen now.

Fucha Langya has firmly established herself as the queen, and the emperor has feelings for her.

Not to mention all this, with her current appearance, even if she leaves the cold palace, she will not be able to sit on the throne of queen, and she will never be able to become the emperor's wife.

She will always be the inferior concubine.

When she thought of this, her heart felt sour and she was filled with jealousy.

Looking at the cloak that the emperor draped over her, for some reason, a nameless anger rose in her heart.

The emperor knew clearly that she was wronged, yet he still sent her to the cold palace.

She has been in the cold palace for so long, and no one has ever paid attention to it. If something hadn't happened in the cold palace today, she wouldn't even be able to see the emperor.

Even if the emperor told her that he would take her to the cold palace, she would not forgive him immediately. She would have to let him taste the feeling of being treated coldly before she could feel relieved.

Not long after the emperor left, Ling Yunche, who was cleaning up the cold palace with others, looked in one direction.

It was really strange that there was a fire in the cold palace tonight. There were no signs of burning in other houses. The room where Ruyi lived was the most seriously burned. In addition to this, the room where惢心 lived was also burned.

Now the fire is out, but there is still no sign of惢心. I guess she was burned to ashes?
