Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

After Wanyin took Yongqi away, Lingzhi and Sanbao suffered.

When Lingzhi brought water into the room to serve, she saw Ruyi with a sullen face, sitting upright on the chair without saying a word.

She felt a little guilty. Ever since Hai promised to be under house arrest, Ruyi seemed like a different person. Lingzhi carefully handed her the tea, then squatted down and pinched Ruyi's calf.

"Lingzhi?"

Ling Zhi responded and just as he looked up, a slap landed on his face.

Without even having time to cry out in pain, she covered half of her face and knelt on the ground begging for mercy in grievance. Even though Ling Zhi didn't know what mistake she had made, their lives and fate depended entirely on the master's words.

Ruyi pinched the hollow diamond-shaped armor inlaid with jade beads in her hand and said lazily, "Do you know why I hit you?"

Ling Zhi pursed her lips, held back tears, and shook her head desperately.

Ruyi asked sternly, "Why didn't you tell me that Yonghuang was seriously ill?"

Regarding this matter, Ruyi really misunderstood Lingzhi.

Just a few days ago, Ilari came to the palace to pay her respects. Consort Jin, out of courtesy and also remembering that Ruyi had raised the eldest prince for a period of time and that Yonghuang had been calling for his mother during his coma, believed that Yonghuang wanted to see Ruyi. So, she begged Ruyi to leave the palace to see Yonghuang, so as soon as she entered the palace that day, she went to the Yikun Palace.

Unexpectedly, before he even entered the palace gate, he was stopped by Sanbao.

It is said that it was ordered by the Imperial Concubine.

Outsiders are not allowed to enter.

Sanbao did not lie. Ever since Hailan was under house arrest and Yonghuang was disliked by the emperor, and after Ruyi heard with her own ears in the side hall that day that Yonghuang only wanted to use her and had no mother-son affection at all, she completely gave up on this adopted son.

But Ilari did not give up. She stood outside the door and anxiously called out "Mother" several times.

Sanbao was afraid that Ruyi would blame him, so he immediately called Lingzhi to pass on the message.

When Lingzhi heard that the eldest prince was seriously ill, she ran into the bedroom in a panic, but when she mentioned Yonghuang, Ruyi became impatient and interrupted her abruptly.

"You don't need to report Yonghuang's affairs to me in the future."

Ling Zhi thought of Ilari's nervous look and couldn't help but say something extra, "But the eldest wife said that the eldest prince is sick and wants to see you——"

Ruyi was pruning the flowers and plants nonchalantly. "I'm not an imperial physician, what can I do?"

"Could it be that this palace is a miracle drug, and Yonghuang's illness was cured just by looking at him? Go tell Ilari to take good care of Yonghuang and go to the Imperial Hospital to see the doctor if he gets sick."

Lingzhi reported Ruyi's words to Ilari exactly as they were.

Ilari was filled with anger and left with a wave of his sleeves.

She really felt sorry for her husband. He was so sick, but before she entered the palace, he held her hand in a daze and said that he wanted to see the imperial concubine again before he died and wanted to apologize to Ruyi for what had happened before.

But Ruyi was different. Not only did she not see him, she also said such words. It was really heartbreaking.

Never mind, she is the high and mighty imperial concubine, and they are just the unfavored princes and princesses.

So Ilari went to Zhongcui Palace with anger and unwillingness.

Of course Lingzhi would not tell Ruyi these words. After all, she would never admit that she was wrong. Lingzhi suddenly envied Shuizhi for being able to follow惢心 out of the palace to serve her.

Lingzhi felt wronged.

In order to make Lingzhi remember this lesson, Ruyi ordered her to kneel in the yard with a basin of water. Even Sanbao was not spared. The two of them knelt in the yard under the scorching sun for two hours.

My body was burned by the sun, and my knees were in unbearable pain as if they were being gnawed by millions of ants.

Ruyi was afraid that Hongli would blame her, so she immediately asked the palace maids to prepare a sedan chair and go to the Yangxin Palace.

She ran into the Yangxin Palace crying.

Hongli put down his pen and glanced at Ruyi calmly, "What's wrong with you?"

"Your Majesty, I have heard about Yonghuang's affairs. It's all my fault. Ever since惢心 got married, I haven't had anyone to serve me personally. Not only am I not good at speaking, I can't even convey messages well. I have heard about Yonghuang's affairs. I raised him and naturally love him like my own son. Now that he is sick, I, as a mother, cannot take care of him closely. I am truly guilty..."

Ruyi was blaming herself in every word and action.

Hongli sighed deeply. Ever since he drove Yonghuang out of the palace and ordered him not to enter the palace without being summoned, he had not seen Yonghuang again. Now Yonghuang was seriously ill, and he, as his father, was busy with affairs and had no time to visit the eldest prince.

Whenever it’s late at night and everyone is asleep, I wonder if I’m a good father.

No matter how bad Yonghuang was, he was still Hongli's son.

Ruyi cried and begged Hongli to let her leave the palace to see Yonghuang.

Hongli took her phone and said, "Ruyi, you raised Yonghuang. When you see him, please apologize for me. What I said that day was too harsh. Let him rest and recuperate. Don't think too much."

Ruyi nodded.

After returning to Yiku Palace, she immediately asked someone to prepare a sedan chair to go to the eldest prince's residence.

Because of the way she treated Ilari before, she was naturally not liked by others.

When the housekeeper saw Ruyi coming, he immediately invited her to the living room, and then went to the side hall to inform Fu Jin.

At this time, Lujun, Lanqi, Yanwan and Wanyin had just finished meeting Yonghuang and were sitting in a side hall drinking tea.

The housekeeper said, "My ladies, the Imperial Concubine has arrived."

Lujun threw the cup in her hand onto the table, her face full of anger, "Why is she here?"

His tone was full of disdain.

Lan Qi put down her tea and said calmly, "Maybe she's worried about the eldest prince."

Ilari knew that Lujun disliked Ruyi, and since she didn't like her either, she stood up and saluted, "I will go and send the Imperial Concubine away. My ladies, enjoy your tea."

Lujun nodded.

Wanyin watched Ilari's departing figure and said with emotion, "The wife is well-educated and well-mannered. The eldest prince is truly a blessed man. I hope he can be blessed by heaven and get through this difficult time safely."

Yan Wan echoed, "Don't worry, sister. Big Brother is a lucky man and will be safe."

In the front hall, Ruyi sat for a long time before Ilari came out slowly, her skirt lifted, and greeted her. "Your Highness, I didn't know your Highness was coming, and I made you wait for so long. I deserve to die."

Ruyi put down the cup and said with the air of an elder lecturing someone, "You child, you didn't tell me that Yonghuang was so seriously ill. After all, Yonghuang was also my child. Seeing him so sick, it hurts me."

Ilari sneered, thinking that she came to see Yonghuang because the emperor would be angry if he knew about it.

Ruyi said, "Take me to see Yonghuang."

Ilari blocked her path and said, "Your Majesty, the master finally fell asleep. What if you wake him up and make his condition worse? Imperial Concubine, you should go back first. When the eldest prince feels better, I will definitely visit him at the Yikun Palace."

Ruyi was afraid of being infected by the disease, so she just said "Okay".

He turned around and asked Sanbao to hand him the thousand-year-old ginseng.

"These are my gifts. They will help Yonghuang's illness. Please accept them."

Mrs. Ilari took a look at the fine ginseng and finally let the maid take it.

Ruyi then gave a few instructions and returned to the palace. Ilari suppressed her smile and instructed the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, take the things the Imperial Concubine sent and feed them to the dogs."

The butler didn't dare to say anything and just nodded in response.
