Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

Ruyi heard the noise outside.

He immediately got out of bed and rushed to Li Yu wearing only his underwear.

Her eyes were bloodshot, her lips were bloodless, and her hair was messy.

She clutched her belly, glared at Li Yu fiercely, and gnashed her teeth as she said, "Li Yu, you actually teamed up with惢心 to frame me. Have you forgotten who helped you get rid of Wang Qin and let you take the position of the Imperial Household Manager?"

Li Yu hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "I dare not forget, but I have already repaid the favor Your Majesty did you in the matter of Anhua Palace. You mentioned Wang Qin, but Your Majesty, didn't you yourself want to get rid of the lackeys around Empress Xiaoxian? Others may not know, but your servant and惢心 see it clearly. Do you really want to help us? Why did Ling Yunche marry惢心? I'm afraid the source of this is you."

"You... you're talking nonsense. The one who granted the marriage was the Emperor. What does this have to do with me? Don't try to pin the blame on me."

Li Yu sneered. In Ruyi's eyes, it was others who made mistakes. She never reflected on herself and wondered if she had done anything wrong.

A'ruo felt betrayed because she never restrained herself, and Hailan has been under house arrest because of her. She knew that everything Hailan did was for her own good, but Ruyi turned a blind eye. When Hailan made a mistake, she not only did not plead with Hongli to let her go, but ran away and cleared herself of the blame.

Poor Hai Lan is alone in the Yanx Palace, and no one knows how she is doing now.

Li Yu was too lazy to argue with her and just moved his fingers to take Sanbao and Lingzhi away.

Sanbao and Lingzhi didn't even pack their luggage. When they heard that they could leave Yiku Palace, they immediately agreed.

Only Ruyi believed that they were forced into this situation. She held their hands and said tearfully, "Sanbao, Lingzhi, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position. If you want to stay, I can go and plead with the Emperor..."

No one knows what the emperor is thinking. The decree to depose the empress has not been issued, and the emperor has not even asked anyone to take back the empress's seal. What if Ruyi turns against them in the future and causes trouble for them?

However, Sanbao and Lingzhi had suffered too much torture at Ruyi's hands and really didn't want to work in Yikun Palace anymore. However, they hadn't reached the point of completely falling out yet. They imitated the ways of the palace, their eyes revealing their attachment to Ruyi. They said, "Empress, we don't want to leave you either, but the Emperor is furious. If we don't obey his orders now, we might end up in danger of our own death. Rongpei is steady and we can rest assured that she will take care of you."

Seeing that they were thinking of her, Ruyi was touched and said no more. She just told them to take good care of themselves and let them come back when she gained power in the future.

Sanbao and Lingzhi nodded, and followed Li Yu out of Yiku Palace. Their feet seemed to be greased and they ran faster than rabbits.

In the cleansing room, Ling Yunche was tied to the bed in a variety of ways. Having just been cleansed by the eunuchs, his face was as white as a piece of paper, and his eyes were sunken, as if a demon had sucked out his vitality.

Do not eat or drink.

The Ling family has been a single-line family for nine generations, and now this line is likely to be cut off in his hands. At this moment, he really wants to kill himself.

Even the old eunuch who castrated him shook his head, thinking that he could not survive any longer.

When God closes a door, he will always open a window for you.

With a creak, the door opened.

The originally pitch-black hut suddenly became bright. Ling Yunche, who had not seen the light for a long time, felt it was dazzling and immediately stretched out his hand to block it.

Jinzhong walked in slowly.

Until he walked in front of Ling Yunche and looked down at him.

It's really a pleasure.

He had never imagined that Ling Yunche would have such a day. The woman he loved had once loved Ling Yunche, and he knew that Ling Yunche looked down on eunuchs like them from the bottom of his heart. But he hadn't stopped to think, if it weren't for the hardship of life at home, where even survival was a problem, who would be willing to cut off that thing and throw away all dignity to enter the palace as a eunuch?

So he hated the way Ling Yunche looked at him.

Now, it’s really... refreshing.

Ling Yunche knew Jinzhong's intention. He glanced aside, filled with grief and indignation, and asked in a trembling voice, "What are you doing here?"

Jinzhong glanced at him and was not in a hurry.

He walked to the table with his hands behind his back and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea. He felt relieved, and even the inferior tea tasted much more fragrant.

He added calmly, "Ling Yunche, I do hate you. Seeing you in such a miserable state today, I should have humiliated you, but now I feel it's unnecessary. You are no longer a guard, but a rootless eunuch, just like me. However, the Emperor is merciful. Even if he dismissed you from your position, he still arranged a place for you. The Empress was confined because of you, so she sent you to be her personal eunuch. Little Lingzi, I, your father-in-law, would like to congratulate you in advance."

Ling Yunche had been in a coma for many days and had lost all hope. However, upon hearing Ruyi's name, she immediately regained her vitality. Regardless of her injuries, she turned around and asked excitedly, "Is the Empress okay?"

Jinzhong smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course, someone will come here in a few days to take you to work at Yikun Palace."

After saying this, Jinzhong stood up and left.

Ling Yunche lay on the bed, staring at the top of the bed curtains without blinking. That was fine. Although he and Ruyi could not be husband and wife, it was also great to be with her in this way.

Late at night, the moon's shadows are everywhere, the birch trees are swaying, the night breeze is blowing gently, and the tall bamboos are swaying in the wind.

Fuga sneaked in through the back door of Cining Palace, pushing Suo Xin in.

Inside the main hall, the curtains hung low, the gauze fluttered, and the candlelight flickered, making it dim and unclear.

The sound of flipping through books came to my ears.

Fu Jia walked respectfully to Zeng Huan's side with his hands folded, and whispered in her ear, "Empress Dowager, Suo Xin is here."

Zeng Huan responded softly.

Then he waved his hand and let Fuga leave.

It wasn't the first time that Rong Xin had met Zeng Huan, but it was the first time that they had met alone. She lowered her head and said softly, "Your servant pays homage to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."

Zeng Huan closed the book and looked at惢心 carefully.

I just think that this girl is beautiful and no worse than the women in the emperor's harem. She is loyal and hardworking. It's just a pity that she could have been married to a good family and had a bright future. Unfortunately, she met the wrong person and was framed. Not only did she have her hands and feet broken, but even her new husband betrayed her.

Zeng Huan picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said slowly, "Should I call you Madam Ling or Suo Xin?"

"The Empress Dowager is in a serious condition. Please call me Suo Xin."

Madam Ling is a stain on惢心's mind, so naturally she doesn't like others calling her that.

"The Empress Dowager asked Aunt Fujia to call me here. It shouldn't be to reminisce about the past, right?"惢心 looked straight at Zeng Huan.

Zeng Huan put down his teacup and burst into laughter. "Haha, you are indeed a smart person. I like you. It's just a pity...惢心, I can't keep you."

Ruoxin's eyes widened and she gripped the handle tightly, but she soon felt relieved.

Although she was not a traitor, she knew that the Queen was not a decent person. Since she married Ling Yunche, she was no longer a member of the palace. It was reasonable for the Queen Mother to want to execute her for the sake of the royal family's reputation.

She didn't want to live anyway.

It would be better to sentence her to death or let her see Jiang Yebin as soon as possible.

"I understand what the Empress Dowager means, but I have a favor to ask, and I beg your Majesty to grant my request."

Zeng Huan asked, "Oh? What's the matter?"

惢心: "Please, Her Majesty, issue an order to allow Ling Yunche and I to divorce."

Zeng Huan frowned, looking a little unconvinced, and said in a deep voice, "That's it?"

惢心 nodded and said firmly, "Of course, there is one more thing. How to die is up to me. As for Shuizhi in my mansion, she knows nothing. Please, Queen Mother, let her go."

Zeng Huan's heart was touched. Looking at惢心 in front of her, she sighed and said that there are still people in this world who are not afraid of death.

"Okay, I agree."

The next day, a major event happened in the palace.

Lujun was ordered by the emperor to act as the agent of the harem.

Early that morning, when all the concubines came to pay their respects as usual, Ke Xin ran in hurriedly. Amid the confusion of all the concubines, Ke Xin whispered a few words in Lujun's ear.

Lujun's expression suddenly changed, she frowned and nodded, "Are you serious?"

Ke Xin nodded, "Doctor Qi said it himself, it can't be false."

Lujun lowered her eyes, "I understand. Please ask Doctor Qi to go back first."

After Ke Xin left, Lu Muping couldn't wait to ask about the gossip, "My Lady, what happened?"

Lujun regained her composure and didn't intend to hide it. She smiled and said, "It's a happy news. The Queen is pregnant."

"What?" Yuyan lost her grip on the cup and it fell to the ground, spilling tea leaves and water all over the floor.

Ruyi is actually pregnant? She is the queen, although she is the successor to the empress, and the child she gives birth to will of course be a legitimate son. She has been confined to her room with great difficulty. If the emperor knew that she was pregnant, he would definitely untie her feet, and the child in her belly would definitely not be liked by the emperor.

She was panicked and lost her mind for a moment.

The concubines present were also shocked. Ruyi had been married to Hongli for more than ten years and had no children. How could she suddenly become pregnant?

Lu Muping, on the other hand, said bluntly, "After what happened to the Queen, who knows whether the baby in her belly is a dragon seed or an evil one."
