Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

Ruyi shuddered in her heart and raised her hand to look at the sky, only to find that it was pitch black above her head. It seemed that it was going to rain.

Soon Hongli took Li Yu and Jinzhong away from Yiku Palace.

Ling Yunche knelt on the ground holding the red plum and watched Hongli leave.

"Empress?" He called after a long time.

Ruyi came back to her senses, wondering what Hongli had just said. Would he suspect her of having an affair with Ling Yunche? Ruyi regretted accepting Ling Yunche's flowers from the beginning.

She was originally using Ling Yunche. She knew that Wei Yanwan had feelings for Ling Yunche. It was her fault that she snatched Hongli away. There were many women in the harem, and the love she could give to Ruyi was very little. But Wei Yanwan was not satisfied and insisted on entering the harem to compete with her. In order to make her sad, she deliberately got close to Ling Yunche, hoping to anger Yanwan to death.

But now she feels a little regretful.

Maybe Ruyi couldn't see it clearly, but others could see it clearly. She was enjoying it, enjoying having all the men surrounding her. She liked the feeling of being the center of attention.

Even Hai Lan had advised her to stay away from Ling Yunche, but Ruyi didn't care and said bluntly that she and Ling Yunche were just close friends.

Ruyi sighed and said, "Ling Yunche, don't send Hongmei anymore in the future."

Ling Yunche was startled and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you like it?"

Ruyi nodded slightly and replied, "I like it, but the emperor will be unhappy."

Ling Yunche understood what Ruyi said, but for some reason, he always felt a dull pain in his heart.

It rained heavily today.

The rain has stopped, and the water drops on the leaves keep sliding and falling, making a lonely and desolate sound.

After returning to the Yangxin Palace, Hongli sat on the dragon throne without saying a word.

The huge aura made Li Yu breathless, and Jinzhong also huddled aside, holding his breath and not daring to move.

No one knows what Hongli is thinking.

Glancing at Li Yu's appearance, Hongli raised his eyes and said half-jokingly, "Li Yu?"

"I'm here." Li Yu's heart skipped a beat, as if a person walking on the edge of a cliff suddenly stepped on empty air. His hands couldn't help but tremble. He clenched his fists tightly and walked forward with his head lowered.

"Grind ink for me."

"Yes." Li Yu picked up the inkstone and began to grind it. He asked carefully, "Your Majesty, are you going to paint today?"

After thinking it over for a while, Hongli couldn't help but ask, "Li Yu, what do you think of Ling Yunche?"

Li Yu paused nervously, his heart tightening. He smiled and said, "Lord Ling is a skilled martial artist and has saved Empress Xiaoxian and the Imperial Noble Consort. He is naturally a very good person."

"What about 惢心?"

Li Yu didn't know why Hongli asked such confusing questions, but he answered truthfully, "Miss惢心's loyalty is known to all, but now she has been harmed and left with a lifelong disability. What a pity."

Hongli slowly fell into deep thought.

He picked up his pen and wrote a few words. After a while, he said, "You seem to be speaking for them."

Li Yu felt a chill down his spine and quickly knelt down. "I dare not, but everything I said is true. Please understand, Your Majesty."

Hongli smiled and said, "I know. The Imperial Noble Consort once proposed a favor to me. I think it's feasible. You take this imperial edict to the Yikun Palace. Inside is my reward for惢心. And you ask the Imperial Noble Consort to take good care of惢心."

Li Yu took the imperial edict with both hands.

He took the imperial edict and left the Yangxin Palace.

Jinzhong looked up at Li Yu's back, and suddenly heard Hongli calling his name. He turned around abruptly and walked in front of Hongli, "Your servant is here."

Hongli stood up and handed Jinzhong another imperial edict, saying, "I have decided to promote Ling Yunche to the rank of First-Class Guard and have him choose a date to marry Suo Xin."

When he heard this, Jinzhong was completely stunned. He didn't even remember how he took the imperial edict and walked out of the Yangxin Palace.

He stared at the imperial edict in his hand, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

It was indeed a good show.

Ling Yunche felt his scalp tingling when he received the imperial edict.

He and惢心?

Why would the emperor let him marry惢心? Is there some misunderstanding here?

Seeing Ling Yunche lost in thought, Jinzhong kindly reminded him, "Sir Ling, why don't you accept the order?"

"It's you, a treacherous villain, isn't it?" Ling Yunche stood up and snatched the imperial edict from Jinzhong's hand. He grabbed Jinzhong's collar and his hat slipped off his head to the ground.

Jinzhong is afraid of death, but he is not afraid of Ling Yunche.

He knew Ling Yunche would not and did not dare to kill him. He slowly pried open Ling Yunche's fingers and patted the collar that he had soiled.

A strange laugh escaped Jinzhong's tightly pursed lips, like a long-repressed outburst. His eyes narrowed into slits, his gaze as cold and venomous as a venomous snake, flickering with evil. He said sarcastically, "How could this servant be so capable? It's just you, Lord Ling, who doesn't serve the Emperor properly, but always likes to go to the Yikun Palace." He leaned close to Ling Yunche's ear and said, "It would be fine if you imitated Li Yu, but you're so obsessed with your scars that you forget the pain. Why would you meet someone else privately, but..."

"Shut up." Ling Yunche clenched his fists and shouted angrily.

Jinzhong smiled slightly, "Oh, I just said you went to look for Suo Xin, and you got angry? Could it be that the person you went to Yikun Palace to look for was not Miss Suo Xin?"

Ling Yunche loosened his fist, turned around, and didn't dare to say anything more. Jinzhong was a smart man. He was afraid that his little thoughts would be seen through, which would implicate Ruyi.

"Don't talk nonsense. Of course I went to see Suo Xin."

If he really married惢心, he would really be further and further away from Ruyi.

Originally, he could go to Yikun Palace to see Ruyi from time to time, but after he got married, it was no longer convenient for him to send Hongmei to Yikun Palace.

He didn't dare to disobey the order, and Ling Yunche's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Li Yu happily came to the Yikun Palace to read the imperial edict. He thought that the content of the imperial edict was to let Jiang Yubin marry惢心. Ruyi, the people in the palace and Jiang Yubin knelt in the courtyard to listen to the edict.

But when Li Yu opened the imperial edict, the blood in his body suddenly turned cold, his body swayed uncontrollably, and he almost fell. He took a step back and barely stabilized himself, but his face was already pale.

Ruyi didn't know what was going on, so she hurriedly asked, "Li Yu, what's wrong?"

Li Yu gathered himself and stammered, "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Yikun Palace Suo Xin is virtuous, diligent, docile, gentle, kind, and loyal to her master. I grant her marriage to Ling Yunche, the first-class imperial guard. I decree this."

When Li Yu finished reading, everyone present was stunned.

Everyone in the Yikun Palace knows about惢心 and Jiang Yubi, and everyone assumes that they are a couple, but why did the emperor give惢心 to Ling Yunche?

Jiang Yebin's face turned pale and he knelt on the ground for a long time, refusing to get up.

Why?惢心's life is already very hard, why does the emperor treat her like this and deprive her of the right to marry the person she loves?

He hated it, really hated it.

His eyes were bloodshot and he clenched his fists tightly.

Shuizhi helped Ruyi up and walked in front of Li Yu.

She couldn't believe it. Ling Yunche and惢心 had no connection, so why would the emperor issue such an order? She said anxiously, "Li Yu, what's going on? I clearly told the emperor that惢心 likes Jiang Yebin. No, I have to ask the emperor."

As she spoke, she turned around to look at Jiang Yebin and said confidently, "Don't worry, Jiang Yebin, I won't let惢心 marry Ling Yunche."

Jiang Yubin turned around numbly and went back to his room without even saying thank you.

In order to let惢心 sleep more peacefully, he lit calming incense before leaving, so惢心 did not hear the imperial edict just now.

He sat down next to惢心, holding her hand, and quietly looked at her peaceful face. How wonderful it would be if he could look at her like this for the rest of his life.

Unfortunately, the emperor's order has been issued, and it is impossible for Ruyi alone to make the emperor revoke the order.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she had never done any of the things he asked or begged the Imperial Concubine to do. Was she powerless or did she not want to help?
