TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

"what!"

The moment Ruyi saw the Empress Dowager, she exclaimed in surprise, attracting everyone's attention.

The forced smile on the Empress Dowager's face disappeared without a trace in an instant. If she didn't want Ruyi to check and balance the Queen, she really wanted to kick her out immediately.

"Princess Xian, you must not be rude in front of the Queen Mother. How can you serve the Queen Mother with such a mentality?"

Langya scolded coldly, as if she didn't notice the empress dowager's ugly look.

Seeing that Langya still wanted to make trouble, the Queen Mother had to swallow her disgust and act as a peacemaker with a smile.

"Why is the Queen so angry? Concubine Xian hasn't seen me for a long time. She's just excited. Come here and show me. You haven't suffered a lot of grievances in the cold palace, have you?"

Ruyi has not yet recovered from the shock she just experienced. The empress dowager now is completely different from the one before.

The light in the room was dim, and it looked particularly scary.

"Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. I am doing well."

"Okay, okay... You are a blessed person. I knew it when I gave you the name. This is our destiny."

Ruyi was so overwhelmed by the Empress Dowager's praise that the fear she had just felt dissipated a lot.

"Aunt Fuga, let me do it."

As time passed, the pain in the Queen Mother's body was no longer as severe.

I only feel uncomfortable late at night, and it is not easy to replenish the lost energy and spirit, so I have to drink bowl after bowl of supplements.

When Fuga handed over the medicine bowl, he saw Ruyi's hand and felt confused.

She has been in the cold palace for so long, but why is there no scar on her hands, not even a thin callus? Are the treatments in the cold palace so good now?

The concubines sitting below just watched the two of them being intimate, and they didn't feel a bit of envy.

Ruyi swept her eyes over everyone with a boastful look, and her face was filled with embarrassment. No one paid any attention to her at all.

She was not used to serving others, so she took the bowl of nourishing soup, scooped up a spoonful and was about to feed it to the empress dowager.

The first few bites were fine, but after becoming more skilled, Ruyi was no longer so cautious, and accidentally the sharp armor pierced straight into the empress dowager's neck.

"what!"

The Empress Dowager subconsciously waved away Ruyi's hands, covered her neck with one hand and screamed.

With a crisp "click", the jade bowl of soup was thrown away by Ruyi in front of everyone's horrified gaze, and the unfinished soup splashed everywhere.

Fuga hurried forward to check on the Queen Mother.

The imperial physician from the Cining Palace arrived quickly and after an examination determined that it was only a superficial injury.

There was a dead silence in the hall, and even if the empress dowager wanted to save face for Ruyi, she couldn't do it.

Ruyi felt a little guilty but not too much. In her opinion, it was just an accident.

Langya forced down the corners of her mouth and said seriously, "Princess Xian, since you are here to serve the Queen Mother, there are some things you must learn well."

"Look at yourself, you don't even look like a servant. Why don't you go down and wash up again?"

Just when惢心 was at a loss, Fuga received the empress dowager's gaze and stood up.

"Master Xian, please come with me."

"Wait, Aunt Fuga, take off her armor and cut her nails. The makeup on her face is too bright, I'm afraid it will affect the Queen Mother's mood. Change her into brighter clothes, and the Queen Mother will be in a better mood."

Jin Yuyan immediately spoke up, "Empress, I think Concubine Xian's shoes are not suitable. How can I serve her with such high heels? Please don't hurt the Queen Mother again."

Langya tilted her head and gave Jin Yuyan an approving look.

He looked back at Fuga, "Did you hear that? Go ahead and do it."

The Queen Mother leaned on the couch while the palace maid slowly applied the powder to her. After several months of torture, her body was now extremely sensitive.

Any little bit of pain will be magnified several times, making it unbearable.

She did not refute Langya's words.

As long as she didn't find an opportunity to send Concubine Xian back to the cold palace, she had no intention of interfering.

Concubine Xian really should be taught a lesson.

Ruyi couldn't believe her ears. The Queen's demands were really unreasonable.

"Your Majesty, I am a concubine in the harem, not a pet in the cat and dog room. Are these things like picking up pets?"

"This is my dignity. I'm sorry I can't obey your order."

"Concubine Xian is still like this, always judging others by her own standards. It seems that you haven't made any progress at all since your visit to the cold palace. You treat yourself like a pet, but the Empress doesn't."

Gao Xiyue looked at Ruyi's aloof appearance with a cold eye and became angry. Respectable? How could there be any respectability after such a situation?

Bai Ruiji, who was gloating, saw the Queen Mother's attitude towards Ruyi, and after considering the right measure, she spoke.

"Sister Xianpin, the Queen Mother's request is also for you to better serve the Queen Mother. What if the incident just now happens a few more times? What will happen?"

After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, covered her lips with a chuckle, and stared at Ruyi curiously.

"Sister Xianpin, don't you want the Queen Mother to recover soon?"

Ruyi knew that she had to rely on the Empress Dowager to leave the cold palace, so she naturally could not accept such an accusation.

She couldn't bear to look at her armor, which was her dignity. If she couldn't even protect it, what was the difference between her and the maids serving in the palace.

He immediately made up his mind and kowtowed to the Queen Mother to beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was my fault just now. I swear that such a thing will never happen again in the future. Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty."

"I am a concubine, how can I...how can I..."

Ruyi choked up as she spoke, as if she had suffered some great humiliation.

Langya didn't care, because the armor wouldn't poke her neck anyway.

She kicked the ball back magnanimously, "Since Concubine Xian is unwilling, the Queen Mother will make the decision on this matter. Concubine Xian will only need to serve you wholeheartedly in the future."

"I have already discussed this with the Emperor, and have decided to exempt Concubine Xian from paying respects during this period."

The Queen Mother's patience had reached its limit, and she had to go smoke some water pipe to calm down.

"Okay, if you don't want to, forget it. But you need to change your armor into something more suitable."

When Ruyi heard this, she immediately agreed. She could accept changing to something shorter.

"I am tired, Queen, please go away!"

"Yes, Empress Dowager, please have a good rest. I will take my leave now."

Soon after leaving the Cining Palace, Gao Xiyue couldn't help laughing. She couldn't help laughing when she thought about Ruyi's armor injuring the empress dowager's neck.

"Empress, do you think the Queen Mother's neck will be covered with holes in the near future? Haha!!"

"Who can say for sure? Concubine Shu and Concubine Qing have both lost a lot of weight since attending to the sick. I don't know who is more powerful, the Empress Dowager or Concubine Xian."

"Anyway, I've already reminded you. If the Queen Mother doesn't recover from her illness and instead gets new injuries, then no one can be blamed."

Gao Xiyue also smiled evilly. She really wanted to watch the fun, but unfortunately she was about to give birth and couldn't run around. She hoped that the screen would show them what was going on.

As time went by, people in each palace became more cautious.

Several concubines gave birth to children one after another, and the Cining Palace was bustling with activity.
