Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

The more disadvantageous it is to Ruyi, the more excited惢心 becomes. Facing Ruyi's pleading eyes,惢心 chooses to ignore them.

After all, those old events happened before Wei Yanwan agreed to the marriage. Although she did look down on Yanwan for abandoning her childhood sweetheart Ling Yunche in order to get to the top, she felt it was unfair for Ling Yunche.

But since she learned that Yan Wan had suffered in Qixiang Palace for five years, she gradually understood Yan Wan's helplessness at the time. She really had no choice but to rely on the emperor.

From contempt to sympathy,惢心 only felt pity for Yan Wan.

Ruyi resorted to provocation, "惢心, you and I were once master and servant, and Ling Yunche is your husband. Could you bear to watch him die and let me be slandered?"

惢心 said coldly, "Empress, I truly don't know. I only know that Concubine Ling suffered for five years in Concubine Jia's palace because of you. When I heard Ling Yunche begging you to save her, you and Hai promised that the Qixiang Palace loved to torture Yanwan and would not let her suffer too serious injuries. You were the favorite concubine at the time, the Emperor's favorite woman. Why didn't you open your mouth and ask for her release? Or do you have selfish motives and don't want Ling Yunche to rescue Concubine Ling?"

"Bitch, what nonsense are you talking about."

Ling Yunche propped up his broken body and rushed forward. Suo Xin had nowhere to hide and didn't want to live like this in the world. She closed her eyes as if she accepted her fate and let Ling Yunche kill her.

In desperation, Li Yu hugged the crazy Ling Yunche regardless of the danger to his life, and both of them rolled on the ground.

Ling Yunche was so badly injured that he couldn't use any force at all. He could only struggle and wave his hands, cursing, "Wei Yanwan, do you still have a conscience? The Queen is so considerate of us. She even didn't hold it against you for stealing her husband. Not only are you ungrateful, you even slander her. You are not a human being. I, Ling Yunche, have misjudged you..."

Ling Yunche continued to curse at Lan Qi, "Niu Hulu Lan Qi, it's you, isn't it? You were the one who instigated Wei Yanwan to frame the Empress. You must have helped Wei Yanwan replace the ring. I will kill you."

Li Yu pressed Ling Yunche to the ground. Seeing that Ling Yunche was about to break free from Li Yu's restraints, Hongli immediately called two guards to drag Ling Yunche out of Yiku Palace.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. Please do not blame the Empress. She is innocent..."

As Ling Yunche's voice faded further and further away, Yan Wan completely gave up on him.

She knew that Ling Yunche had changed his heart and that he had put his heart on Ruyi, but she never expected that Ling Yunche would reveal his past relationship with her for Ruyi.

If the emperor really believed what he said, then the person who would die today would be her, Wei Yanwan.

Yan Wan slowly raised her head, her eyes were red and filled with tears, which made people feel extremely sad and even more regrettable.

Tears as big as beans rolled down her pale cheeks. She knelt in front of Hongli, hugged his thighs, and sobbed softly, "Your Majesty, I don't know how I have offended the Empress and Guard Ling to suffer this catastrophic disaster."

"You're talking nonsense..." Ruyi stood up suddenly, her finger pointing at Yanwan trembling slightly, her eyes revealing strong dissatisfaction, and her voice was sharp and piercing.

"Wei Yanwan, do you dare to say that you have never had feelings for Ling Yunche? Do you dare to swear?"

Yan Wan never believed in oaths, so she was not afraid of them.

She wiped her tears, straightened her back, raised two fingers, and was about to swear, but was interrupted by Hongli.

"Princess Cheng, Princess Ling, please return to the palace first. Li Yu, you take Suo Xin back. I have something to say to the Queen."

Hongli spoke calmly.

No one dared to stay any longer and immediately knelt down and left.

Jinzhong was extremely anxious outside. When he saw Yanwan coming out, he immediately went to greet her. However, because Li Yu was there, he didn't dare to get too close to Lan Qi Yanwan.

He ran to Li Yu and said respectfully, "Your servant greets Concubine Cheng, and greets Her Majesty Lingpin."

Li Yu asked in confusion, "Jinzhong? Why are you here?"

Lan Qi said, "I heard that the Emperor had Eunuch Li invite Concubine Ling to the Yikun Palace. I was worried, so I asked Jinzhong to come here."

Li Yu: "I see. Jinzhong, you stay here and I'll escort Suo Xin out of the palace first."

Jinzhong nodded slightly, "Yes, Master, go ahead and rest assured."

Li Yu was about to push惢心 away, but惢心 grabbed Yanwan's sleeve and said, "My Lady Lingpin, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect to get you into this today."

Yan Wan smiled. She couldn't express how grateful she was to惢心 now. If it weren't for惢心, she still wouldn't be able to see through Ling Yunche's true character.

"That's all right. I'd like to thank Miss Ling...惢心. I just didn't expect Ling Yunche to be so audacious as to set his sights on the Empress." She sighed and added, "I hope the Empress can escape this."

Suoxin was silent.

The hand hidden under the sleeve clenched into a fist. Even if Ruyi could escape this disaster today, the matter between her and Ling Yunche would still be a thorn in the emperor's heart.

With resentment, Li Yu sent惢心 back to Ling Mansion.

Lan Qi and Yan Wan were walking on the palace road back to Guanju Palace. Apart from Wang Chan, there was no one else serving them.

"I have to thank you for saving my life today, but there is one thing I don't understand. Could you please explain it to me?" Yanwan spoke first.

Lan Qi glanced at Yan Wan sideways, she knew what Yan Wan wanted to ask.

Yan Wan had clearly told Lan Cui to throw the ruby ​​ring away and burn it, so why did Li Yu search for it in Yongshou Palace, even though the swallows and clouds inside were gone?

Wang Chan said, "My lady, this was all the idea of ​​Concubine Cheng. She guessed that Ling Yunche would betray you to protect the Queen, so she gave me this ring before the Concubine entered the Yikun Palace and told me to hurry back to the Yongshou Palace."

Yan Wan was confused and still didn't understand.

Lan Qi explained, "If you're going to act, you have to do it completely. Even I have a memory of your ring, let alone the emperor. If Ling Yunche really betrays you and the emperor happens to remember that you have the ring, then Ling Yunche will definitely bite you back, and then you won't be able to explain yourself."

Yan Wan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

She leaned forward slightly to show her gratitude, "Thank you, sister."

Lan Qi took Yan Wan's hand and said, "We are like sisters, so you don't have to be polite."

In Yiku Palace, Hongli was still staying in Ruyi's room.

Under the flickering candlelight, Hongli had a sullen face, with his hands behind his back and his back facing Ruyi.

Ruyi couldn't tell what Hongli was thinking. She stepped forward, took his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, do you really believe that I would betray you? We have been through thick and thin together for many years. How could I dare to have two hearts? From the walls and horses, we gazed at each other from afar. The moment I saw you, my heart was broken. Doesn't Your Majesty remember the love you had for me?"

Hongli turned his head, his eyes were cold and there was no emotion in his eyes when he looked at Ruyi.

This scared Ruyi, and she immediately let go of Hongli's hand and stepped back.

Hongli pressed on step by step until Ruyi was cornered. "Queen, I don't know what you have done to provoke惢心 and Li Yu to join forces to kill you."

"I didn't do that. They were jealous of me and framed me." Ruyi quickly denied it.

"No?" Hongli laughed in surprise. "Back then, when Imperial Concubine Jia framed you for an affair with Master Anji, did you really think I didn't see that you had Li Yu secretly swap the Seven Treasures bracelet with the Carnelian bracelet? I've already saved your face by not exposing you to your face. I don't like my Imperial Concubine to have any stains on her, and this Empress was chosen by me personally."

"But Ruyi, you disappoint me so much."

Hongli grabbed Ruyi's hand, and Ruyi frowned in pain.

"The Empress Dowager is right. You cannot compare to Langya's virtue. I will depose you..."

When she heard that the queen was going to be deposed, Ruyi was terrified. She had worked so hard to climb to the position of queen, and she couldn't lose it so easily.

With tears in her eyes, she said, "Your Majesty, you cannot depose me."
