Hailan looked anxious, with beads of sweat on her forehead. As soon as she entered the inner hall, she rushed straight to Ruyi's bed and asked carefully.

"Sister, are you feeling unwell?"

Ruyi shook her head, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped the sweat off Hailan's face.

Seeing Hai Lan nod slightly, the two exchanged a subtle look, and Ruyi's heart was finally relieved.

Hailan and Ruyi chatted about interesting things in the past. The emperor was very pleased to see that Hailan successfully diverted Ruyi's attention.

Fu Cha Langya soon arrived at the Yanxi Palace, and Jin Yuyan also came with her.

After learning that the rumor had spread, Fu Cha Langya knew in her heart that it must have been Jin Yuyan who instigated Gao Xiyue to do it.

If this wave of rumors can successfully abort Ruyi's baby, then Jin Yuyan is still of some use. If not, Fucha Langya will never allow herself to be splashed with even the slightest bit of dirty water.

Fu Cha Langya and Jin Yuyan first pretended to show concern for Ruyi, then returned to the side room and prepared to sit down.

The emperor's face was extremely bad. Seeing that Yu Hu had not brought anyone back yet, he shouted at Fu Cha Langya, "Empress, I have only been on the throne for a year, and so many incidents have occurred in the palace. Do you have anything to say?"

Fu Cha Langya knelt down in fear and hurriedly defended herself, "I am incompetent, Your Majesty, please calm down. I had already sent someone to investigate on the way here.

But the palace maids replied that the rumor came from outside the palace. I really don’t have the energy to investigate outside the palace.”

Jin Yuyan also knelt down and echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty. The Queen has been taking care of the Second Prince and has been working hard day and night.

The concubines in the palace are all watching and none of them are disrespectful. Please calm down, Your Majesty."

The emperor snorted coldly and motioned for the two to stand up. The three of them sat in the side room, silent for a while.

The atmosphere was like water drops on the tip of an ice ridge, not yet solidified, but about to drip.

In order to break the awkward atmosphere, Jin Yuyan found an excuse and said, "Your Majesty, there is a happy event. You should feel better after hearing it."

Seeing the emperor glance at her, Jin Yuyan hurriedly complimented, "Although the Queen has been taking care of the Second Prince these days, she has never forgotten Mei Changzai.

Thanks to the protection of the Emperor and the Empress, Mei Changzai's face has improved a lot. A few days ago, I went to visit her. Mei Changzai's face was powdered and it was no longer visible. Your Majesty, can you spare some time to meet Mei Changzai?"

"Let's talk about this later." The emperor's mind and eyes are now filled with Ruyi, so how could he remember such a person?

He impatiently placed the porcelain blue water-patterned glaze teacup on the table and closed his eyes to rest.

Fu Cha Langya also glared at Jin Yuyan unhappily.

It's true that he wanted to take credit for her, but he was too careless about the occasion. This woman from the Yu family really couldn't show up in public.

Not long after, Yu Hu came in with A Ruo.

Ah Ruo was wearing a silver-red silk dress embroidered with orchids and interwoven heart patterns at the hem. She looked like she was living a good life. But her braid was a little loose, maybe because she had been struggling.

"I, A Ruo, pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress." There was no light in A Ruo's eyes.

"A Ruo, do you know why you were brought here?" Yu Hu asked.

"I know. It's because I accidentally let slip the ugly things that Ulanara had done." A Ruo said nonchalantly.

A Ruo naturally knew what she had done.

She had already boarded a carriage and escaped from the city gate, but she was unexpectedly intercepted by the guards in the palace.

Now that she was here, she couldn't leave. But even if she couldn't leave, she would find a way to find a companion on the road to the underworld.

Yu Hu glanced at the emperor and continued to ask, "So, were all those rumors outside the palace fabricated and spread by you?"

"I said that, but I don't have the ability to spread it everywhere. This auntie overestimates me." A Ruo still looked nonchalant and frivolous.

"Do you know how much truth and how much falsehood there is in what you said? Spreading rumors maliciously and slandering the concubines in the palace is a serious crime. Do you want the lives of your entire family?"

Seeing Ah Ruo's look, Yu Hu had to raise his voice and asked in a stern tone.

"The whole family?" Ah Ruo laughed out loud as if she heard some funny joke.

"Do you want the life of my eunuch husband, or the life of my profit-seeking father? Their lives are worthless to me. If you want, take them all, hahahaha..."

"A Ruo, are you crazy?" Jin Yuyan asked with a frown.

"I'm not crazy! Everything I said is true!" Ah Ruo shook her head vigorously, as if she would not be satisfied until her head fell off.

"Ulanara is a scheming whore! Ever since the selection, she has been trying every possible way to attract the emperor's attention and using all kinds of despicable means to seduce him.

How could such a whore stand on the high platform and be the most honorable Concubine Xian! I just wanted to get a chance to get close to the emperor through the eunuchs around him.

The emperor obviously likes me, too. Why did he have to match me with the eunuch just for Concubine Xian? Why! On what grounds! "

A Ruo almost screamed out the last few words.

Fu Cha Langya looked at the emperor's increasingly furrowed brows and quickly asked someone to cover A Ruo's mouth.

The bamboo leaf gauze curtain covered with white jade beads was opened, and Ruyi walked out slowly with a pale face.

Ruyi simply wore a light blue inner garment with orchid patterns embroidered on it with silver thread, and a light blue thin silk velvet overshirt.

Her hair was tied up with only a white glass bead hairpin inserted in it. She looked like a white and transparent porcelain doll, leaning weakly on Hailan's shoulder as if it was about to break.

"emperor……"

As soon as Ruyi opened her mouth, the emperor immediately stood up with a look of heartache, reached out his hand and helped her sit on the couch.

"Ruyi, you are not feeling well, so you don't have to come out. I have been married to you for many years, and I believe in your innocence. You will not be easily deceived by others."

When Fu Cha Langya heard the word "husband and wife", the corners of her mouth froze.

Ruyi raised her head and forced a smile, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty.

But I cannot bear to see the Emperor's reputation damaged in the slightest because of me. So today, please allow me to defend myself a little."

Although the emperor felt distressed, he nodded in the end and signaled the palace servants to tie up A Ruo tightly to avoid hurting Ruyi.

Ruyi stood up, walked to A'ruo condescendingly, and said in a light tone, "A'ruo, you entered the Ulanala Mansion and sold yourself as a slave when you were 7 years old.

Counting the days, it has been exactly 10 years now. After 10 years of living together day and night, it is not surprising that you know many things about me.

I am upright and have nothing to fear. You and I both know that this was a deliberate seduction, and it was clearly a fabrication on your part.

I believe that I have done nothing wrong to you over the years. I have always treated you like my own sister, even better than I treat惢心.

Who instigated you to hold a grudge against me for no apparent reason and to fabricate such ridiculous and false rumors to slander me?

Ah Ruo, are you pretending to be crazy, or are you really crazy?"
