Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Spring in the Palace

Jin Yuyan was a little at a loss. She was still kneeling, but she knelt straight so that she could reply.

The emperor smiled and said, "Come."

Jin Yuyan tried to stand up, but she heard the emperor's angry voice saying, "Crawl over here."

These three short words made Jin Yuyan feel like she was falling into an icy cave. In the cold winter, she shuddered in her heart, raised her head and begged the emperor with her eyes.

The emperor was staring at the bergamot flower hairpin in his hand. Jin Yuyan recognized it. On the Chinese Valentine's Day that year, the emperor made hairpins for each palace. Hers was gardenia, Hai Lan's was rose, Ruyi's was rose, and Fu Cha Langya's was bergamot flower.

This is the Queen's thing.

Did her instigation of the eldest prince come to light, or did the emperor find out about her plot to murder the seventh prince?

No, it's not about the Seventh Prince. Once the Seventh Prince died, the Queen lost her spiritual support and immediately followed him. The fact that the Emperor can still talk to her in a good way instead of immediately imprisoning and torturing her proves that the matter is not particularly serious.

That is, her act of instigating the eldest prince to hate Empress Xiaoxian was exposed.

Jin Yuyan didn't care about her face. The emperor's move was just to humiliate her. That was fine, but she had to come up with a corresponding method. She hurriedly crawled to the emperor's side and heard a roar like thunder, "How dare you!"

Jin Yuyan raised her head and saw the emperor pointing at her angrily, saying, "Did you tell the eldest prince that Empress Xiaoxian killed Imperial Noble Consort Zhemin?"

As expected, the eldest prince was really useless. His mouth was like the leaky pot of their Yu family. Whatever he said would be leaked out to her immediately.

Hearing this, Jingse suddenly stood up and said angrily, "How could the Queen Mother do such a thing?"

She pointed at Jin Yuyan's head and said sternly, "Jiapin, what are you thinking?"

Jin Yuyan hurriedly explained, "I... don't have such an idea."

"No idea. Do you think I'm stupid? Yonghuang told me personally that it was you who seemed to know some secret. He refused to tell him again and again." The emperor held the hairpin tightly in his palm and said,

"Empress Xiaoxian was kindhearted and managed the harem in an orderly manner. She was kind to you, but a vulgar person like you only knew how to ruin her reputation after her death!"

Jin Yuyan kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying, "Your Majesty, I am wronged. I did not mean to tarnish the reputation of the Empress. It was I who misheard the rumors and believed them to be true, which led to this incident."

"I am wrong. It is my fault." Jin Yuyan cried with tears in her eyes and begged the emperor for forgiveness.

The emperor sneered and said, "Then tell me, who told you this fabricated lie?"

Jin Yuyan's heart sank. No one had ever said that to her. It was just an excuse she made up to exonerate herself.

Jin Yuyan could easily blame the deceased Imperial Noble Consort Huixian. Although Imperial Noble Consort Huixian had a falling out with Empress Xiaoxian before her death, her words made sense, but the emperor didn't know and just thought that the two were still close friends.

Given the emperor's nature of protecting Empress Xiaoxian, he might even protect Empress Xiaoxian's friends, which would only make the emperor even more furious.

The moment Jin Yuyan hesitated, the emperor became even angrier and moved as if he was going to come over.

Jin Yuyan was so scared that she looked back and saw Ruyi smiling faintly, secretly rejoicing at Jiapin's predicament.

"It was Concubine Xian who told me!" Jin Yuyan said loudly.

Everyone's eyes focused on Ruyi, who was sitting on her calves in a daze, slowly putting away her calm smile, her dark yellow face full of surprise. She opened her mouth slightly, shook her head gently, and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have it."

Jingse glared at Concubine Xian. What kind of soup was that? She hadn't yet settled the score with Ruyi. Was Concubine Xian deliberately trying to ruin her mother's reputation again today?

The emperor ignored Ruyi's words. He just took a glance and was sure that this was not what Ruyi said. Ruyi didn't have such a brain.

He took a deep breath, unable to suppress the rage in his heart any longer, and raised his foot to kick Jin Yuyan.

Jin Yuyan realized it, and hurriedly moved sideways to the right, then quickly said, "Your Majesty, I am pregnant with your child!"

The emperor stopped his feet in mid-air. Jin Yuyan was pregnant with the dragon fetus, so he had to take care of his child. So the emperor kicked Yongzhang who was kneeling next to Jin Yuyan and scolded, "Why don't you cry!"

Different paths lead to the same destination, different paths lead to the same destination again.

The emperor once again hit someone during Empress Xiaoxian's funeral. This was the first time in his life that he had ever done that.

With the death of Empress Xiaoxian, the emperor lost the person who could control his words and deeds. Now, no one in the palace dared to disobey him, and no one could advise him.

The emperor's empress died, taking with her his two parts of sanity as a burial, causing the emperor to become mentally unbalanced and irritable.

The kick did not land on Jin Yuyan, but it made the Third Prince stagger. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Concubine Chun was frightened and distressed. She hugged her son and cried, "Your Majesty, Yongzhang is still young and doesn't understand things. It's all my fault..."

Although Yong Zhang was often scolded, he had never been beaten by the emperor. He was afraid and started crying again. He said aggrievedly, "It's my fault, it's my fault, please calm down, Father."

Yong Zhang just cried, but not as sadly as others, because he still remembered what his mother had said, that Empress Xiaoxian was ashamed of them and her son, so Yong Zhang didn't like her and naturally wouldn't cry sincerely.

But the emperor was angry now and was just taking his anger out on him. If he refuted, the real anger would be transferred from Jiapin to Yongzhang and Concubine Chun, mother and son. So Yongzhang could only agree to it and just ask the emperor to calm down.

When the emperor saw how respectful his son was, he felt a little guilty for a moment, but then the guilt turned into anger, and he poured it all out on Jin Yuyan.

The emperor shouted, "Jiapin's words and deeds are inappropriate. She will be demoted to a concubine, stripped of her title, and confined to Qixiang Palace."

"Why don't you get back here!" The emperor glared at her. Li Xin hurried over and helped her master back to the palace. Jin Yuyan was taken away crying.

Although the emperor realized that he was taking his anger out on others, his dignity as an emperor prevented him from admitting his mistakes. He said softly, "Yong Zhang, go change your clothes."

Su Lujun was still holding the child and crying silently. She really felt sorry for Yongzhang. The mother and son cuddled together and cried silently. The emperor felt even more uncomfortable when he saw the two of them. He said, "Let Concubine Chun go too."

This temporarily put an end to this farce.

Jingse slowly stood up, her knees numb from kneeling. Concubine Xian was everywhere. She was the one who brought soup to my mother, and she was also in the words my mother said to the emperor before she died. Now that Concubine Jia was ruining my mother's reputation, there was also the shadow of Concubine Xian.
