Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

Li Yu asked for leave from Hongli and handed over all the affairs to Jinzhong and Jinbao, while he stayed in Yongshou Palace to take care of惢心.

Although惢心 woke up, she suffered a brain injury and now has the intelligence of only a seven or eight-year-old.

Although he has lost his memory, Zeng Huan is a person who cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes.

Who knows,惢心 might be harmed again.

Li Yu was scared.

He simply went to ask Hongli to let himself and惢心 leave the palace. He wanted to take惢心 to see the mountains and rivers of Jiangnan, and then live a life in anonymity.

Li Yu has been with Hongli since he was a child. Although he was not valued in the early days, he did a lot of things for himself later.

If he hadn't delayed惢心 and Jiang Yebin, perhaps惢心's suffering would not have happened.

Hongli felt guilty towards惢心, so he agreed to Li Yu's request.

After all, he was his own master. Although Jinzhong had thought about killing Li Yu and becoming the chief steward himself, there was no barrier between him and Li Yu. Li Yu was a competent master and did not stop them from becoming the chief steward. Although he would scold them from time to time, most of the time it was just a lesson because they had done something wrong.

Being scolded by Li Yu is better than making a mistake in front of the emperor and being beheaded.

Jinzhong asked someone to hire a carriage. When Sanbao and Lingzhi heard that Li Yu and惢心 were going to leave the palace, they came to see them off.

Ling Zhi held惢心's hand, wiped her tears, and looked reluctant.

惢心 held a small flower in her hand and just smiled foolishly.

He kept repeating, "With the heart, with the heart..."

Sanbao handed Yuxin to惢心 with red eyes, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and said, "惢心, you must take good care of yourself in the future."

Suoxin seemed to have sensed something and continued to smile foolishly, but a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

Li Yu pulled Jinzhong to a corner and warned him, "Jinzhong, I know your ambitions, but I hope that no matter who the emperor gives the position of chief steward to in the future, you or Jinbao, I hope you can live in peace and not kill each other. It's easy to make enemies in the palace, but it's hard to find true friends. I can also see your feelings for Lingpin..."

"Master...Master..." Jinzhong's eyes dodged. He didn't expect that Li Yu could see through all his little thoughts.

It was hard for him to imagine what his chances of success would have been if Ruyi had not fallen, Li Yu had helped Ruyi, and he had helped Yanwan to take the throne.

"Jinzhong, you saw what happened to Ling Yunche. After all, Lingpin is the emperor's woman. If you dare to compete with the emperor for a woman, you will die if you are discovered." Li Yu patted Jinzhong's chest and said, "If you truly love her, keep this love in your heart. It will be good for both you and her."

Jinzhong blushed and lowered his head.

He was educated.

Hongli never liked eunuchs and concubines to get too close, as evidenced by the tragic example of Empress Xiaoxian and Wang Qin.

So every time Jinzhong went to see Yanwan or Lanqi, he did it secretly, for fear of being discovered.

"Master, I understand."

Li Yu patted Jinzhong on the shoulder. He had said everything he needed to say. As for what path Jinzhong would take in the future, it depended on his own choice.

"Take care of yourself, we'll meet again."

Li Yu stepped onto the carriage. When he lifted the curtain, he suddenly paused and looked back at his old friend reluctantly.

We wave goodbye with tears, and I don’t know when we will meet again.

After losing his beloved son, Ling Yunche was sad for a while in the Ministry of Punishment. He never expected that惢心 hated him so much that she was unwilling to even keep the child.

Ling Yunche's life in the Ministry of Punishment was not easy. In addition, Li Yu's previous order before leaving meant that the head of the prison would often whip him. Although Ling Yunche was physically strong, he could not withstand such beatings. He was covered in wounds and soon collapsed.

Hongli felt that such punishment was too boring, so he asked Jinzhong to release Ling Yunche and sent him to Ruyi Palace to be a eunuch in Yiku Palace.

Ruyi was pregnant, and Lujun did not treat her badly in terms of food, clothing and other expenses.

Yuyan, on the other hand, was afraid that Ruyi would give birth to a prince who would compete with her Yongcheng for the position of crown prince, so she asked Lixin to find a way to make Ruyi miscarry without anyone noticing.

But Ruyi was too cautious about the fetus. Whenever the eunuch brought her food, she would ask the imperial physician to check if there was anything wrong with the food.

The imperial physician knew how much the emperor valued the royal heirs, especially his legitimate son, so he was extremely cautious.

But even so, Ruyi was still worried, fearing that even the imperial physician had been bribed by them. She had finally gotten pregnant, and she was afraid that someone would plot against the baby in her belly.

So she asked Rong Pei to secretly throw away the food brought by the eunuchs, and asked Ling Yunche to find a way to get some seeds from outside, as she wanted to grow some vegetables in Yiku Palace.

Ling Yunche doesn’t have many friends in this palace, and the only one he can think of is Zhao Jiuxiao.

Zhao Jiuxiao was quite generous. After all, Ling Yunche was his brother, and Zhao Jiuxiao would never refuse any request he made. But he was also very talkative and would share even the smallest things with Lan Cui.

After hearing this, Lan Cui would naturally tell Lan Qi and Yan Wan about what was happening in Yiku Palace.

Yan Wan frowned and said sarcastically, "The Queen is being too cautious."

Lan Qi disagreed and said, "The Queen is probably hoping that this pregnancy will free her from pain, so she will naturally be extra careful."

"My lady, something bad has happened." Ji Tao rushed in from outside holding a flower pot in her hands.

She looked anxious, and without even putting down the flowerpot in her hand, she ran to Lan Qi and said, "Madam Shu Fei, she gave birth prematurely..."

"what?"

Upon learning the news that Yihuan had given birth prematurely, Lan Qi and Yan Wan immediately rushed to Chuxiu Palace.

When they arrived at Chuxiu Palace, Lujun had already arrived and was pacing back and forth in the yard anxiously.

Seeing this, Lan Qi and Yan Wan immediately stepped forward.

Lan Qi asked, "Sister Chun, what happened to Sister Shufei? She's only eight months pregnant, and she gave birth so prematurely?"

Xi He was kneeling helplessly in the yard, tears streaming down her face as she said, "It's all my fault. This afternoon, the young lady said she wanted to eat osmanthus cake, so I asked someone to prepare it. But when I was helping the young lady back to her room to rest, I didn't notice there was a half-broken flower pot under her feet. The young lady tripped and fell to the ground, and that's when she got the miscarriage."

Lujun: "Alright, alright, now is not the time to assign blame. Shu Fei's pregnancy is more important. I have already sent for the Emperor to come over, he should be here soon."

From inside the house came Yihuan's shrill screams and the midwife's soothing voice, "My Lady, push harder, the baby is almost out..."

After much deliberation, Hongli finally headed to Chuxiu Palace. Fujia informed Zeng Huan of Yihuan's premature birth. She had been anticipating the pregnancy ever since it began, and even today, Zeng Huan was grinning from ear to ear. But upon hearing that Yihuan had a premature and difficult birth, she was terrified and immediately ran to the Guanyin statue to pray for Yihuan.

Hongli hoped that Yihuan would give birth to a princess.

But just as he arrived at the gate of Chuxiu Palace, he suddenly heard the cry of a baby.

Accompanied by the blessing voice of the midwife, "Congratulations to the Empress Shufei, congratulations to the Emperor, it's a little prince."
