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

Chapter 221: I just wronged you, so what?

Inside the Yangxin Palace, the emperor's eyes were wide open with anger, and the rage in his eyes seemed to burn everything in front of him to ashes. He tightly grasped a string of jade beads in his hands, as if trying to suppress his anger.

"Ruyi, what else do you have to say? These are yours!" The emperor's voice was low and full of anger, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Ruyi's face was pale, but her eyes were filled with stubbornness. She raised her chin slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know where these things came from. I have never sent Ling Yunche anything, let alone written any letters."

The emperor sneered, "Hmph, you still dare to quibble after all this? You have already deceived me about the boots, and now the evidence is irrefutable, and you are still trying to be stubborn?"

As he said this, he threw the beads hard on the ground. The beads bounced up and down like the broken trust between them.

Ruyi looked at the jade beads on the ground, and her heart ached. "Your Majesty, I just don't want you to misunderstand me about the boots, but I really don't know about these things."

At this moment, the emperor suddenly felt dizzy. He was so angry with Ruyi. Seeing Ruyi denying it desperately, the doubts in his heart became stronger.

At this moment, Jinzhong hurried over and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear, and the emperor's face became even gloomier.

"Do you know that the palace people are privately spreading rumors that your first child..." The emperor did not continue, but the unfinished words hung between the two of them like a sharp blade.

Ruyi's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, "Your Majesty, how could you believe the nonsense these palace maids are talking about? I have no way of defending myself!"

The emperor did not listen to her explanation, "You repeatedly defend Ling Yunche. Is it true that there is nothing innocent between you two? Ruyi, you have disappointed me so much."

Tears welled up in Ruyi's eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. "I defend Ling Yunche because he is an innocent man. Your Majesty, why don't you believe me? Is it because of these groundless speculations and frame-ups?"

The emperor took a few steps forward and grabbed Ruyi's arm. "Unfounded speculation? Then tell me, why do all the evidence point to you? Do you have any thoughts about him that you shouldn't have?"

His grip tightened, and Ruyi felt a pain, but she did not struggle.

"I don't have any, Your Majesty. You have so many women, can't you allow Ling Yunche to be by my side? You are jealous, and it is your suspicion that has destroyed the trust between us!"

Ruyi looked directly into the emperor's eyes and did not back down.

The emperor was hurt by Ruyi's words. He suddenly shook off Ruyi's arm, and Ruyi staggered and almost fell.

"Jealous? How dare you say that I am jealous? I am the Son of Heaven, how could I be jealous for a mere guard?"

Ruyi stood firm, tears welling up in her eyes, "But what you are doing now, isn't it jealousy? You would rather believe those rumors than believe me."

The emperor was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Ruyi and said, "You...are you trying to piss me off to death? I have always favored you, but you treat me like this."

Ruyi smiled sadly, "Favor? Your Majesty, your favor is so fragile that it can be destroyed by the slightest disturbance. From the beginning to the end, I have only loved you, Your Majesty, but you doubt me like this."

The emperor paced back and forth in the palace, with anger, suspicion and pain intertwined in his heart.

He stopped and looked at Ruyi, "I will give you one more chance. If you confess, I may be able to give you a lighter sentence."

Jinzhong sighed silently. He really couldn't understand why the emperor, with so many virtuous wives and beautiful concubines around, only favored someone like the old empress dowager?

Ruyi remained firm, "I have done nothing wrong. If Your Majesty wants to convict me, I have nothing to say."

The emperor's eyes turned cold, "Well, Ruyi, you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude."

Ruyi stood there stubbornly, with unyielding eyes, staring straight into the emperor's eyes.

"Your Majesty, I beg you not to vent your dissatisfaction with me on Ling Yunche. He is innocent."

Although Ruyi's voice was calm, her slightly trembling lips revealed her inner nervousness.

The emperor laughed in anger, and the laughter echoed in the empty hall, revealing endless mockery, "Humph, Ruyi, you are still protecting him? Do you think you are still the concubine Xian that I love so much?"

Ruyi frowned slightly, "I only know right from wrong. Ling Yunche has done nothing wrong and should not be implicated."

The anger in the emperor's eyes flared up again. He pointed at the palace door and said, "Go back to Yikun Palace. I don't want to see you again."

Ruyi stood still, "If the emperor doesn't agree to my request, I will never leave."

The emperor was so angry that he was shaking all over. He roared, "Jinzhong, drag Concubine Xian out and throw her back to Yikun Palace!"

Jinzhong looked hesitant. He looked at Ruyi, then at the emperor, and his steps slowed down.

The emperor saw this and scolded, "What are you afraid of? Concubine Xian has lost her dignity, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and have someone drag her out!"

Jinzhong walked to Ruyi tremblingly, lowering his head, "Empress Xian, how about you... go back first, don't make the emperor angry again."

Ruyi gave him a cold look and said, "I have said that if the emperor does not agree, I will not leave."

Jinzhong had no choice but to wink at the two young eunuchs, who stepped forward and said cautiously to Ruyi, "My Lady Concubine Xian, I'm sorry."

As they spoke, they carried Ruyi on both sides and walked out of the palace.

Ruyi struggled, her eyes full of anger and unwillingness, "Let me go! Your Majesty, you can't do this!"

As Ruyi was dragged away, only the emperor and Jinzhong were left in the palace.

The emperor's chest heaved violently. He looked around, with anger in his eyes that had nowhere to vent. He suddenly threw a teacup at hand to the ground. The sound of the teacup breaking was particularly harsh in the silent hall.

Then he swept the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table to the ground without uttering a single word.

Jinzhong looked at the emperor and dared not breathe.

When the emperor calmed down a little, he gave a wink and several eunuchs immediately came in nimbly and tiptoe, quickly picked up the debris and debris on the ground, and retreated quietly.

Jinzhong then walked carefully to the emperor's side and gently advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down. What if you get angry and damage your health? I know that you still can't bear to part with Concubine Xian."

The emperor snorted coldly, "Can't bear to let her go? She has disobeyed me so much, how can I keep her?"

Jinzhong rolled his eyes, "Your Majesty, I have an idea. You are annoyed that Empress Xian protects Ling Yunche, but you are reluctant to hurt her. Why don't I get rid of him without anyone knowing? This way, you can relieve your hatred and your Majesty won't hate you too much."

The emperor frowned slightly, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, "Oh? What can you do?"

Jinzhong approached the emperor and whispered a few words, "…declare it an accidental death to the public, but…I'm afraid that Empress Xian will have disputes with the emperor in the future."

Although he said so and thought so, Jinzhong still couldn't understand why the emperor wanted to execute a guard. He was so afraid of both wolves in front and tigers behind.

A trace of pain flashed across the emperor's eyes. "I don't want to be like this with her, but now she is defending Ling Yunche like this, I really can't tolerate it. The affection I have had with her for many years, can it be that it is not worth a little guard?"

Jinzhong smiled and said, "The emperor's deep love for Empress Xian is evident to all. But the Empress was deceived by Ling Yunche this time. When Ling Yunche is gone, the Empress will naturally understand the emperor's painstaking efforts."

No matter what, just follow the emperor's instructions.
