TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

After a night of interrogation, Arruo suffered a lot, but she still insisted that this matter had nothing to do with Ruyi.

Ruyi was a very favored concubine, and no one did anything to her. Only some experienced old maids came back and forth to ask her questions.

The huge tallow lamp illuminated the room as bright as day, but Ruyi just stiffened her neck and said nothing.

But the Ulanara family did not have the courage like her.

Detailed evidence of the crime was soon presented to Hongli. Looking at the evidence on the table, Hongli sat at the table for a long time, and finally asked someone to bring Ruyi over.

Looking at Ruyi who was still being stubborn, Hongli was extremely puzzled. He had clearly given her enough favor, so why did she have to take such a risk?

"Ruyi, you once knelt in the side hall of Yongshou Palace and asked me if I believed in justice. What about now?"

"Is my trust so cheap?"

Hongli threw the evidence in his hand towards Ruyi, and the pieces of paper fell to the ground.

Ruyi looked down at the familiar name above, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she knew in her heart that her father had betrayed her in order to protect himself.

"Humph!"

She couldn't help but sneer. She never thought it would be like this. A Ruo suffered all kinds of punishment in the Ministry of Punishment to protect her, but the family she was determined to protect abandoned her.

"Your Majesty, I ordered someone to deliver this secret medicine to the palace."

Ruyi knew that there was no point in denying it anymore, so she admitted it directly and waited for the other party's judgment.

Seeing her so disheartened, Hongli felt a little distressed. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and only spoke slowly after a long time.

"Why do this?"

When Ruyi heard this, tears immediately burst out of her eyes, and there was some resentment in her eyes as she looked at Hongli.

"Why? You ask me why?"

"From the day I married you, I've been looking forward to having a child of our own. I waited year after year, and when our legitimate son was born, I was truly happy."

"Now that the legitimate son has been born, the Queen should have allowed me to have a child of my own, but I still haven't waited. I've drunk bowl after bowl of bitter medicine, but it hasn't had any effect. I'm not willing to give up."

Seeing that Hongli's eyes had obviously softened, Ruyi felt relieved and cried even harder.

"Seeing them all getting pregnant, I'm almost going crazy. You're the emperor, destined not to be with just one person. You'll have many children."

"But I want to give you a child, even if it means risking my life."

Hearing this, Hongli immediately stood up and looked at the other party in disbelief.

He originally thought that Ruyi wanted to give this medicine to other concubines, but he didn't expect that she wanted to use it herself.

How could he not be moved by such sincerity?

"You... why do you have to do this? You've always been on good terms with Lady Yu, so it's the same if you give her child to raise."

Ruyi loudly retorted, "It's different. I want to give birth to a child of our blood. That child will be ours, a proof of our love."

What she said today might be true or false, but this sentence came from her heart.

In Ruyi's heart, she is Hongli's most beloved person, and everything she does is to prove this.

How can two people in love not have children?

"I am guilty and willing to bear all the punishment."

After yelling, Ruyi bowed and saluted for a long time without getting up. She had done everything she could, and now she just had to wait for the result.

Hongli sighed deeply and wanted to let the matter go, but he really couldn't explain it to everyone in the harem.

Last night he thought someone had evil intentions to frame Ruyi, so he thought of gathering everyone to warn her.

Now he has shot himself in the foot.

"Well, if that's the case, you can go to the cold palace and reflect on your mistakes."

"Ruyi, take good care of your life."

Ruyi was so moved that she looked at Hongli with tears in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, please take good care of your health in the future."

The affectionate farewell between the two made the concubines wish they could gouge out their own eyes.

Their filter for the emperor collapsed day by day. As the emperor who had the final say in the dynasty, he could have covered up this matter if he wanted to.

Just like the little eunuch who took the blame in the imperial kitchen.

They had to do this, as if there was really someone standing between them.

[Ruyi, save your life! Ugh... It seems like he was the only one who hurt Ruyi from the beginning to the end, and he was also the one who brought misfortune to her.]

[The Emperor always acts strangely when he's with Ruyi.]

Jin Yuyan has the most say in this matter. Every time she is with the emperor, she can clearly feel the difference, but she is still very normal at other times.

He is also very decisive in handling official business. As long as it does not involve Ruyi, he is also a handsome and tall husband.

[It's like... possessed.]

Concubine Qing was even more frightened. She felt that everything around her was abnormal, and she stayed in Yonghe Palace every day to chat with Bai Ruiji to relieve her boredom.

Don't even think about competing for favor, she is afraid.

At the same time, A Ruo was demoted to the lowest-ranking palace maid, responsible for sweeping the imperial garden.

On the day when she went to work despite her injuries, A Ruo looked at the starry sky, breathed the cool air in the morning, and the sweet fragrance of early spring flowers lingered around her. She felt relaxed all over.

The curiosity and stares of the surrounding palace maids did not affect her at all.

After this incident, she finally got away from her hypocritical and mentally abnormal master.

Just as A Ruo had imagined, the emperor would spare her life because of her loyalty to his master.

Maybe it even left a good impression on the emperor.

She won't be a palace maid all her life.

On the other hand, Ruyi did not listen to Li Yu's advice and did not bring any gold and silver jewelry. However, armor, which represents decency, was indispensable.

Without Ruyi in the harem, it is like the Ganges losing the people of the third brother's family.

The pregnant concubines focused on taking care of themselves, Yihuan was busy having love affairs with the emperor, and Jin Yuyan and Bai Ruiji did not even waste their pregnancy period.

They are given soup today and learn a new song tomorrow. They have to maintain this favor and work hard to improve their treatment.

Langya found that they were becoming less and less interested in Ruyi's life, and only watched it for fun when they were bored.

Even she herself is the same. There is really nothing interesting about a heroine whose mind is full of love. Even if she can influence the hero, it will only turn one fun thing into two.

They mostly talked about their own lives.

The last bet came to an end with Ruyi's departure. Ruyi and the others lost, but Hongli was not angry about it.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, the system copied out Ruyi's tasseled armor set with kingfisher feathers and bamboo leaf patterns, and Shushen's eighteen Canaan agarwood beads.

A milky white light flashed by, and everyone received their own gift.

[Hahaha, Ruyi really loves armor. It's hard for me not to make such an association with you, sister!]

When Gao Xiyue saw the armor, she thought of Ruyi's raised finger and couldn't help laughing.
