TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Ruyi didn't come to her senses until Gao Xiyue left, and when she looked at Bai Ruiji again, she no longer had the same kindness as before.

A Ruo noticed that Ruyi was unhappy, and her face turned ugly. She glared at Bai Ruiji fiercely.

Unfortunately, Bai Ruiji was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't notice the little thoughts of the master and servant at all.

It was only after the palace maid beside her reminded her that she hurriedly bowed.

"Your Highness respectfully bids farewell to Her Majesty Xian."

What happened during the greeting was quickly reported by Wang Qin.

Hongli did not stop writing and listened to the whole process in silence.

Wang Qin kept hunching over and didn't dare to stand up. Beads of sweat slid down his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe them off.

After the master ascended the throne, his thoughts became more and more difficult to understand. This matter involves the Queen and Concubine Xian, and if he is not careful, he may get himself involved.

After the last stroke was made, Hongli looked up at Wang Qin.

"What's the Queen's reaction?"

"Your Majesty, the housekeeper said that the Empress was very angry and the two young masters were taken away. They said that they had smashed a set of fine glass lamps."

Hongli stroked the ring on his hand and thought quietly.

This was the first time she was really angry after being married for so many years, wondering if she was too tolerant of Ruyi.

This is why she offended the queen so much.

"Let's go to Changchun Palace."

The atmosphere in Changchun Palace today was exceptionally solemn, lacking the relaxed and harmonious atmosphere of the past. The palace people who were tidying up the flowers and plants were very careful, for fear of making any noise.

"Son, adjust my body and create a symptom of qi stagnation in my heart."

"Okay, Boss, what are you doing?"

The system worked quickly, and Langya soon saw her pale face in the mirror next to her.

"Just because I don't care about the heroine doesn't mean I can tolerate her jumping up and down on my face. Just talk about her love life. Men want everything, status, respect, and power. How can such a good thing happen?"

Hearing the host's chilly tone, the system shuddered unconsciously. Based on its experience, the heroine was likely to be in trouble in the coming period of time.

This was the first time Hongli was stopped outside Changchun Palace. Looking at the palace maids kneeling on the ground and the closed palace gate, he was completely stunned.

"How dare you! What are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Empress has forbidden anyone from entering Changchun Palace and has even ordered the door to be nailed shut."

The palace maid kneeling on the ground trembled as she relayed Langya's requests to Hongli one by one.

"What are you standing there for? Let someone push you out of the way!"

Hongli stepped aside, his eyes flashing with anger. He never thought that he would be rejected by the queen.

The palace servants did not dare to stop the angry emperor and could only kowtow to him continuously.

The door was quickly pushed open and Hongli walked in angrily.

Su Lian and Lian Xin stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, the Empress is not feeling well..."

"Get out of the way!" Hongli waved away the person blocking his way, paused for a moment, and then said coldly, "Go and call the imperial physician."

After saying this, he walked straight towards the queen's bedroom.

Looking at his receding back, the two people kneeling on the ground looked at each other tacitly.

As Hongli approached, his mood gradually calmed down. He gently lifted the bed curtain and saw Langya's sleeping face with tears on it.

After being married for many years, the queen had always been a calm and caring wife in his heart. Hongli never thought that one day the queen would get angry and hide away to cry alone.

The last time I heard her cry was when Jingxi and Yonglian were born.

Hongli sighed silently in his heart. After all, he was wrong in this matter. It was his indulgence that gave Ruyi the confidence to confront the Queen.

In the past, Ruyi was a free and easy person who dared to love and hate, but since entering the palace, she has learned to become arrogant because of her favor.

All those palace rules were copied in vain, and all my efforts were wasted.

Hongli sat on the edge of the bed and wanted to hold Langya's hand. The next second, the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes.

When Langya saw him, she was startled at first, then struggled to stand up and salute, but was pushed back by Hongli.

"Langya, I have heard about what happened today. Concubine Xian did something inappropriate. You don't have to be angry about it. I have already ordered her to be demoted to a noble lady."

Langya kept her eyes down and didn't meet Hongli's gaze. She was a little surprised to hear this. It seemed that the emperor didn't like Concubine Xian as much as she had imagined.

She moved her held hand, still without looking up, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. I feel bad for demoting you, but I don't take it seriously."

"I know you've been wronged. On our wedding night, I told you that we would be husband and wife for life. Langya, you don't have to be like this."

Seeing her so calm, Hongli felt a sudden sense of panic in his heart, as if he was about to lose the person in front of him.

She had never been like this in front of him before.

"Yes, even a concubine like Xian could be wronged by the Queen. Isn't this all due to your indulgence?"

"When she was in the Qiandi Mansion, you didn't care about what she did. Even though she was just a princess, with your tacit approval, her treatment was almost as bad as Xiyue's."

"She slept in Changchun Palace before paying her respects. Do you want me to give her the position of Queen so that she can sleep well?"

"Queen!"

Hongli felt guilty and angry, and in a fit of rage he wanted to leave, but he bumped into the imperial physician who was rushing over.

Thinking of what the palace maid had said before, the queen was ill, she abruptly took the step back.

"Stop kneeling and go check the Queen's pulse."

A moment later, beads of sweat appeared on the imperial physician's forehead. "Your Majesty, the Empress's palpitations and dizziness are caused by anger attacking her heart, coupled with stagnant liver qi."

"I will prescribe a prescription right away. Your condition will improve after you take the medicine. However, you need to rest and recuperate, and don't get angry anymore."

"Take good care of the Queen. If there are any problems, I will ask you!"

The expression on Hongli's face changed several times. He wanted to go forward to comfort Langya, but he saw that she had her eyes closed and didn't want to pay attention to him.

In the end, he left after saying some harsh words to the imperial physician.

In less than half a day, everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Xian had been disrespectful to the Queen when she paid her respects and had even made excuses, which had made the Queen sick with anger.

Of course, the Fucha family would not tolerate such humiliation. In order to prevent the emperor from feeling forced, they did not choose to submit a petition requesting severe punishment.

Instead, he sent people to keep an eye on every member of the Ulanara family, regardless of their blood relationship with Concubine Xian.

Any mistake would be noticed; even if their horse ate a vegetable seedling in someone else's field, they would be reported to the censor.

This caused the already depressed Ulanara clan to become even more ashamed, and the clan members became deeply resentful of Ruyi.

Of course, Hongli knew that the Inspectorate was venting its anger on Langya's behalf. It was Ruyi's fault in the first place, and they didn't bother him with any memorials. He just pretended not to see the minor conflict between the two families.

It’s a pity that Ruyi still thought that her young man loved her so much.

She keeps talking about her youthful love all day long. It's time for her to realize how many lovers an emperor can have.

The emperor's heart is like a durian, with someone living at every point.

Another large number were capable and loyal civil and military ministers in the court.
