Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

Ruyi gestured to Ling Yunche to sit on the stone steps.

The two of them are still the same as before, still talking about everything.

It was as if she was not a concubine at this moment, and Ling Yunche was not a guard, but the two of them were just close friends who could confide in each other.

There is no sense of boundaries at all.

Ruyi turned her head and looked at Ling Yunche who was sitting next to her. She said, "Hai Lan was a little harsh in her words to you just now. I apologize on her behalf."

Ling Yunche waved his hand and dared not agree.

"No, no, no, your Majesty, you don't have to apologize. Your Majesty is probably afraid that I would bother you if I came here so late."

惢心 was speechless after hearing this.

Standing at the back, I silently complained in my heart, "You know you're bothering me, but you still come. Now I have to go to bed late again."

It seemed that惢心's presence disturbed Ruyi and Ling Yunche's conversation, so Ruyi turned around and looked at惢心, sounding very considerate and said, "惢心, you should go down and rest first. I will talk to Ling Yunche later and then go back."

Since the Empress had spoken, Suo Xin had no choice but to retreat.

There was no one around now, so the two of them just sat here and chatted, completely unaware of how inappropriate their behavior was.

After惢心 left, Ling Yunche felt as if all the energy had been deflated and he collapsed instantly.

All his worries were written on his face, and it was hard for Ruyi not to see it.

Ruyi was seen fanning herself gently with the handle of a fan in her hand, and asked with a smile, "Is this related to Wei Yanwan again?"

"Your Majesty, Yan Wan seems to be following a eunuch."

Ruyi's eyes widened, then flickered, her thick lips parted slightly, as if she had heard something new and surprising, and she exclaimed, "Following a eunuch? Is she willing to stoop so low?"

She truly was a close friend of Ling Yunche, even using the same words to describe Wei Yanwan.

They have such a good understanding.

"That's what I told her. Now Yan Wan wants to cut ties with me."

As they chatted, Ling Yunche even started to call himself "I" in front of Ruyi. If someone with ulterior motives heard this, he would definitely get a beating.

Seeing him so sad, Ruyi's gaze seemed to casually sweep towards the boots on Ling Yunche's feet, and then a smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and she could hardly hide the joy in her heart.

I didn't expect that he was wearing boots he made himself.

After a pause, Ruyi smiled and said, "Ling Yunche, if Wei Yanwan wants to cut ties with you, then forget it. A palace maid who ate with a eunuch..."

Even if Ruyi didn't continue with the second half of the sentence, Ling Yunche understood what she meant.

Ling Yunche's face was filled with disappointment, and he said dejectedly, "I don't want to let it go like this."

"But why? She treated you like this. If it were me, I would never do that."

Only Ling Yunche benefits from her behavior of praising one and stepping on the other.

If it were someone else, they would probably roll their eyes to the sky.

"Your Majesty, Yan Wan and I grew up together. Even if I can't be with her anymore, I don't want to see her jump into the fire pit like this."

As Ling Yunche spoke, stars began to twinkle in his eyes, and he imagined himself as a hero who had saved people from danger.

Ruyi, on the other hand, supported her chin, tilted her head, and looked at Ling Yunche with a smile in her eyes.

The appreciation is self-evident.

It seemed that at this moment, the two hearts were closer.

They kept chatting until Ling Yunche felt a little sleepy, then he stood up and said goodbye to Ruyi.

"Your Majesty, after talking with you today, the knot in my heart has dissipated. No matter what happens to her in the future, I only hope that I can take care of her within your reach."

Look, how magnanimous he is. Even when he was hurt so badly by Wei Yanwan, he did not forget to ask the Empress to help take care of her.

But some people just don't know how to appreciate it.

Instead of looking for him, you go looking for a rootless eunuch!

Although Ruyi had a smile on her face, her thick lips were almost deflated into a pool of duck blood.

In order to maintain her magnanimous and kind side in front of Ling Yunche, she could only respond with a kind face and a hoarse voice, "I will certainly agree to your request."

After the two parted, Ruyi turned her back to Ling Yunche and her face instantly turned cold.

Not a smile at all.

She could allow Ling Yunche and Wei Yanwan to have a past, but she absolutely could not tolerate that they had no relationship but still had to care about each other from time to time.

Only she can be the most important person in his heart.

惢心 waited inside for a long time, and just when she was about to fall asleep, she finally heard Ruyi's slow footsteps.

"Master, please take a rest."

"No hurry, Rong Xin, let me ask you a question. Tell me, how exactly is Wei Yanwan like me?"

This crazy woman didn't sleep late at night and she had another seizure!

惢心 really wanted to quit.

She still wants to sleep, okay?

But she still had to agree, "Master, I see that Wei Yanwan has nothing in common with you."

Looking at her furrowed eyebrows that looked like cockroach whiskers, it was clear that Ruyi was not very satisfied with her answer.

"Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you."

Perhaps because of her age, Ruyi was feeling a little sleepy and her eyelids were starting to twitch.

After a while, Ruyi fell into a deep sleep under the care of惢心.

There was peace in Yiku Palace.

Not even a bird's chirping could be heard.

Only Hailan's light was always on, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Master, what happened to you tonight? If you don't rest, you will be exhausted tomorrow."

Hai Lan sat up from the bed, her eyes confused for a moment, but soon returned to their original coldness. She asked Ye Xin, "Tell me, what kind of ability does Wei Yanwan have that could make Ling Yunche take such a big risk to find my sister?"

Hai Lan couldn't figure it out, and Ye Xin couldn't figure it out even more.

But the points that the two of them couldn't figure out were completely different.

Hai Lan: "Since Wei Yanwan failed to seduce the Emperor, is she trying to get close to my sister through Ling Yunche?"

Ye Xin: "Empress Xian doesn't seem to care, so why is her master so worried?"

Seeing Ye Xin shaking her head like a rattle, Hai Lan no longer wanted to talk to her. She waved her hand and whispered, "Okay, you can go to sleep too."

After lying down, Hailan felt more alert the more she thought about it.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still several hours before dawn, she really wanted to tell her sister right now to stay away from Ling Yunche.

People can't sleep when they have something on their minds.

The next day, Hai Lan's eyes were somewhat dark and blue, and when she was paying her respects, even Fu Cha Langya couldn't help but frown.

But only Ruyi couldn't see it. She kept making small movements with her hands, kept her head down and fiddling with her handkerchief, listening absent-mindedly to the hypocrisy of her dear husband's concubines.

Sitting opposite Hai Lan, Concubine Jia leaned back in her chair, looking at Hai Lan with contempt, and did not forget to taunt her, "Oh, sister Yu Fei, I remember ~ the emperor did not stay in your palace yesterday."
