Fu Cha Rongyin travels into Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

Chapter 212: Definitely not taking the blame!

"惢心."

"Slave, please see your Majesty."

In the Forbidden City in late autumn, the air is filled with a slight chill.

The golden leaves falling in the wind add a touch of bleakness to this magnificent palace.

Even though the palace door was closed, Suo Xin could still feel a slight chill.

In the Yangxin Palace, the emperor sat on the dragon throne with a furrowed brow and a deep and complex look.

He held a pair of boots tightly in his hands, and doubt hung over him like a dark cloud.

He wanted to ask惢心 whether Ruyi had an affair with Ling Yunche. This question kept nagging at him, making him restless.

The emperor's fingers gently stroked the upper of his boots, and his thoughts drifted back to the past.

The various rumors between Ruyi and Ling Yunche filled him with uneasiness and jealousy.

He loves Ruyi, but he doubts her loyalty. This conflicting feeling makes him suffer.

However, when he was about to ask惢心, a hint of hesitation arose in his heart.

He knew that once he asked this question, no matter what the answer was, it might cause irreparable damage to the relationship between him and Ruyi. He thought about it and finally chose to change his words first.

"惢心, I want to ask you, who embroidered the boots that Concubine Xian gave to Ling Yunche when she was released from the cold palace?"

The emperor's voice was deep and majestic, echoing in the empty Yangxin Palace.

Suoxin knelt on the ground and looked up expressionlessly.

She knew that the answer to this question might determine Ruyi's fate and might also affect her and Jiang Yubin's future.

Various thoughts flashed through her mind rapidly as she thought about how to answer the emperor's question.

Take a deep breath.

Suo Xin kowtowed heavily to the emperor, her voice firm and resolute, "Your Majesty, I swear on my life and Jiang Yubin's life that I have never embroidered anything in private to give to Ling Yunche."

Ruyi is once again pushing herself out as a shield for her and Ling Yunche.

The emperor looked at惢心, his eyes full of suspicion.

He threw the pair of boots next to him directly in front of Suo Xin, not understanding why this stupid girl was so stubborn.

If she is smart now, she should admit it directly. She has been given to Jiang Yubin now. If she admits this, she can not only protect Ruyi's innocence, but also relieve his worries as the emperor.

Suoxin carefully picked up the pair of boots and examined them carefully.

Her fingers gently touched the fabric of the boots, feeling the grain and texture.

Soon, she discovered the difference.

Compared with ordinary boots, this pair of boots has a Ruyi cloud pattern in the most hidden part.

Suoxin's heart trembled.

She has been with Ruyi since she was in the palace, and has been serving her diligently for many years.

She knew Ruyi's embroidery skills very well, and this Ruyi cloud pattern was indeed Ruyi's work.

However, at this moment, she felt a chill in her heart.

Suo Xin recalled the days in the Ministry of Punishment.

It was a dark and painful experience where she suffered torture and hardship.

Ruyi really didn't care about her life or death from beginning to end, and even wanted to keep her by her side to win over Li Yu.

At that moment, she felt deeply disappointed and heartbroken towards Ruyi.

As for the dowry that Ruyi gave her, she won’t even mention it. Now, she has finally escaped from the palace, has Jiang Yubin, and has her own little family.

She didn't want to get involved in the disputes in the palace anymore, she just wanted to live a peaceful life with Jiang Yubin. Human nature is selfish, even if惢心 is not smart, she knows to protect her beloved at this time.

A hint of hesitation flashed through Ruoxin's mind, but soon she strengthened her belief.

She could not sacrifice her own and Jiang Yubin's happiness for Ruyi. She took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at the emperor with determination in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I don't know who embroidered these boots. I have never seen the Ruyi cloud pattern on these boots. The only thing I can be sure of is that these boots were definitely not made by me."

Suoxin's voice was calm and firm, without the slightest fear.

At that time, there were only herself and Ruyi in the cold palace. She did not say it was Ruyi, but she firmly denied that it was herself.

She had said this to the extent that she had done the most for Ruyi.

The emperor looked at惢心, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment.

He knew that Suo Xin was lying.

He wanted to expose her lies, but he didn't know where to start.

"惢心, do you know the consequences of deceiving the emperor?" The emperor's voice was as cold as ice, making people shudder.

Suo Xin was filled with fear, but she still did not back down. She knew that she had no way out. She had to stand firm on her position and protect herself and Jiang Yubin.

"Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I dare not deceive you, nor do I dare to frame anyone. Please let Your Majesty see clearly."惢心 kowtowed again, her voice full of sincerity.

Let the emperor decide who embroidered this thing, but he must not have anything to do with it.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided.

He knew that惢心 was a loyal person and she would not betray Ruyi easily, but for some reason,惢心 was willing to go to the cold palace with Ruyi at the beginning, but now she was unwilling to help Ruyi even with such a small matter.

He sighed and waved his hand, signaling Suo Xin to leave.

Suoxin felt relieved, slowly stood up and walked out.

Her heart was filled with emotion and helplessness.

She knew that her choice might put Ruyi in trouble, but she had no choice.

She didn't want Ruyi to understand her difficulties, but only hoped that Ruyi could pay the corresponding price for her own choice.

After Suoxin walked out, the sunlight shone on her, making her feel a little warm.

She looked back at the closed door and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that she and Jiang Yubin could live a happy life.
