Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

Hai Lan went back to rest, not knowing that Ruyi had developed a high fever that night. Rong Pei tried several times to ask the emperor to come and see Concubine Xian but failed.

Seeing Ling Yunche busying around, Suo Xin couldn't help but whispered, "Guard Ling, you should go back."

"It's okay. My queen isn't well yet. I'm not in a hurry to go back."

惢心, “…”

Qi Ru is an old man, and has seen too many secrets of the palace. Having lived to such an old age, he must have some vision.

So there are some things that you know and you don’t know.

This is the best way to save your life.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to be a fence-sitter for so many years, bending to wherever needed.

"Guard Ling, you should go back and change into dry clothes. You've been busy for so long, you're bound to catch a cold."

If he fell ill, Concubine Xian would have to ask herself to treat him.

Then you will be the one who is tired.

Seeing that Ling Yunche cared so much about her, Ruyi, who had a wet handkerchief on her forehead, responded in a hoarse voice, "Doctor Qi is right. Ling Yunche, go back and change your clothes first."

"Then I will go back first."

On the way back, Ling Yunche kept his head down, full of regret.

If he had not had a secret meeting with Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian would not have fallen into the water.

When Li Yu saw Ling Yunche coming out, he quickly walked over to him, angrily saying, "You, you, do you know what you have done? You are simply causing trouble for the Empress."

Ling Yunche raised his head in confusion and looked at Li Yu, saying, "Eunuch Li Yu, how am I causing trouble? If I hadn't jumped down in time, Concubine Xian would be—ah."

Li Yu couldn't help but knocked Ling Yunche's hat with the whisk in his hand, gritting his teeth and saying, "How dare you say that? How were you able to save Concubine Xian so promptly? I remember you weren't on duty today, or were you with Concubine Xian at the time?"

Li Yu knew something about the relationship between Ruyi and Ling Yunche.

After all, grasshoppers on the same rope will always hold on to each other.

Seeing that Li Yu was angry, Ling Yunche explained in a low voice, "I was indeed with the Empress at that time, but I did not overstep the line."

"Tell me the details of what happened. If the emperor investigates, I will be able to help him."

Ling Yunche began to tell the story.

"Ling Yunche, the emperor hasn't seen me much these past few days, and I'm feeling really bad. Can you please have a drink with me?"

When Ling Yunche approached Ruyi, he smelled a faint smell of alcohol on her. The smell was not strong, but it was detectable if you smelled carefully.

Suddenly, Ling Yunche's heartache for Ruyi deepened. "Is your Majesty like this because of what happened with Princess Hejing?"

"I've been running back and forth between the Empress Dowager, the Princess, and the Emperor, offering advice and suggestions. Not only have I gotten myself into trouble, but I've also been insulted by the Princess. And yet, in the end, she took the initiative to ask the Emperor for her consent to marry me."

"The princess has agreed. Isn't this what you want?"

"Her agreement was due to my persuasion. However, after she did this, the Emperor felt even more guilty towards her, and in the end, he put all his dissatisfaction on me."

"Don't be too sad, Your Majesty. You are such a good woman, the Emperor will eventually understand."

I don’t know which words touched Ruyi, but she lost her balance and fell backwards.

Originally, Ling Yunche grabbed Ruyi's hand, but his hand slipped and the armor fell off, which led to what happened later.

And the armor is still in Ling Yunche's sleeve.

After hearing what happened, Li Yu's expression was as if he had swallowed shit, it was so smelly.

"Why would the Queen run out after drinking?"

"Your Majesty is a thoughtful person, and you and I both know that."

"Well, okay, I got it. If anyone asks you, just say that you saw that the queen was in a bad mood and seemed to have drunk alcohol, so I followed her to check on her out of concern. Don't say anything else."

"Yes."

After turning around, Li Yu thought that he had to have a good talk with惢心.

As servants, they are supposed to serve their master well. How could they let Concubine Xian drink and wander around outside?

It is right for the emperor to punish her today.

You will never learn your lesson unless you get punished.

As for being mistaken for the Empress, it was purely a matter of lighting, which made Ruyi's clothes appear yellow.

Because of Ruyi's fall into the water, Jinzhong has not been able to come to her quietly these days.

I heard that the emperor is investigating very closely.

For several days in a row, Ruyi did not get up from the couch, and her face was sickly pale.

Ruyi, who had always been in excellent health, had just had smallpox, and now she caught a cold after falling into the water, and her physical condition deteriorated rapidly.

Hai Lan asked to serve Ruyi. Fu Cha Langya did not hesitate for a moment, and did not even say a polite word. She just waved her hand and agreed.

"Sister, it's time to take your medicine."

Ruyi frowned, her face full of resistance.

"This medicine is too bitter. I won't drink it."

"Sister, bitter medicine can cure illness. Please drink some. You have been sick for several days."

After being ill for several days and not eating properly, Ruyi's eye sockets became sunken. This time, her eyes appeared clearer when she blinked.

"Where's Ling Yunche? Why haven't I seen him these past few days? Ahem, ahem, he also fell into the water that day. Don't let him catch a cold again."

Seeing that Ruyi still had the energy to take care of Ling Yunche, Hailan's heart was broken. She complained, "Sister, do you really care about Ling Yunche so much? After all, you are not from the same world."

Ruyi tilted her head and said dissatisfiedly, "This is a matter between Ling Yunche and me. Don't worry about it. Just take care of your own business, cough, cough, cough."

Hai Lan held the medicine, but tilted her head away, her eyes red as she said, "I haven't seen him since the emperor sent him in for questioning."

"What! Why didn't you tell me? Ahem...?"

Ruyi struggled to get up. She always had a bad feeling in her heart that Ling Yunche would be punished by the emperor because of her.

No, she has to go and have a good talk with the emperor.

Ling Yunche saved me and should be rewarded.

"Sister, you, what are you doing?"

"Don't worry about it. I'm going to see the emperor."

惢心 didn't even try to stop her, and even quickly started helping Ruyi put on her shoes.

Hai Lan wanted to say something, but when she saw Ruyi's hateful look, she swallowed the words back.

-

"Your Majesty, I know you've always been thinking about Concubine Xian, why don't you go and see her?"

"Don't mention her to me. I saw it all that night. She was hugging a guard intimately. Where would my dignity be?"

Wei Yanwan clung to Hongli's body with a soft, boneless body, and said in a coquettish voice, "Your Majesty, you can't say that. At that time, Concubine Xian's life was in danger. Anyone who saw that would be so anxious that they would lose their composure."

Hongli grabbed Wei Yanwan's hand and said with a slanted glance, "You are quite good at coaxing people. I will go to see her later."

At this moment, a strong voice sounded outside the door.

"I want to see the Emperor!"
