TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Langya didn't care about Ruyi's anger, and just acted cold and stubborn in front of Hongli.

No one present bought her trick, oh no, not even her "little sisters".

Yihuan frowned impatiently. Although what Concubine Jia said was unpleasant, if Concubine Yu had not brought up the topic first, no one would have noticed her.

Knowing that you are not welcome in this palace, why do you want to humiliate yourself?

She looked down at the tender green tea leaves floating in the water. The delicate porcelain bowl was as thin and light as jade, with light and shadow faintly shining through the hollow part.

Every blade of grass and every tree in Changchun Palace silently demonstrates the queen's uniqueness and majesty.

He suppressed the urge in Yihuan's heart to speak up and help out.

She couldn't question the Queen's decision here.

Ruyi's face turned pale, but she still stood stubbornly in the hall. In a trance, she felt that this scene was extremely familiar.

Past dreams emerged uncontrollably in my mind.

She sat on the queen's throne in an arrogant manner, and the concubines below were all flattering her, while the one who was criticized the most was another concubine.

Facing the ridicule and sarcasm from others, her expression seemed to be exactly the same as that of the current queen.

Today, I am the one standing at the center of the storm.

Knowing the fate of the concubine in her dream, Ruyi could no longer accept such a situation.

She tilted her head back and tried hard not to let the tears fall, not wanting them to laugh at her.

Then she started to accuse him loudly, "Is this how Your Majesty, as a role model for the six palaces, acts? Concubine Jia and Concubine Chun compared Concubine Yu to a pet. Do you think this is all a joke?"

Langya slowly turned her head to look at Ruyi, with the smile on her face unchanged, and lightly spoke of the punishment for Ruyi.

"Concubine Xian has returned to the harem with a guilty conscience, yet she has no regard for the Empress Dowager's health and spends her days preoccupied with these jealous affairs. This is truly disgraceful."

"You have made irresponsible remarks about the Empress today, which is an act of subversion. From now on, you will kneel outside Changchun Palace for two hours every day when you pay your respects, until New Year's Eve."

Yihuan gritted her teeth and stood up.

Everyone knows that she and Ruyi have always been good friends. If she continues to pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time, it would be a mean act.

"I beg the Empress to show mercy and give me a lighter sentence. How can Concubine Xian endure such a punishment in this bitter winter?"

Hailan also knelt on the ground. Although she wanted to poison everyone present, her face was still full of panic.

As her status and position changed, Hailan also developed her own pride in her heart. Reading day after day over the years also gave her different insights.

When the Queen used the Queen Mother's body as a raft, Hai Lan knew that this matter couldn't be made a big deal.

Ruyi returned to the palace under the pretext of taking care of the empress dowager, but she only served the empress dowager for a period of time at the beginning.

The Queen Mother was tormented by these little accidents and lived in fear every day, not knowing what would happen next.

After the pain in her body subsided, she subtly hinted to Ruyi that it was time to compete for favor.

Ruyi naturally wanted it very much. From then on, she only went to the Empress Dowager's palace to pay her respects occasionally, and she was no longer as attentive as before.

If you look closely, Concubine Xian's behavior is extremely unfilial, and Hai Lan naturally would not let her bear such a stigma.

"I beg the Empress to show mercy. This is all my fault. Concubine Xian has to serve the Emperor and take care of the Fifth Prince. I am willing to bear all the blame on her behalf."

"Hai Lan, you don't have to do this. You can always find excuses to accuse someone of something."

Ruyi ignored Hailan's frantic gestures and knelt down directly after speaking.

"I am willing to accept the punishment, but before I accept it, I want to say one thing: justice is in the hearts of the people. This harem is not a place where the Queen can do whatever she wants."

"Well, if you're not satisfied, go and cry to the Emperor."

Langya smiled as she watched Ruyi's helpless rage. The heroine kept repeating the same things over and over again, without any new tricks. She was noble and pure, and endured it silently. The bad guys would jump out and be punished on their own.

His own behavior is untenable and he still resorts to this trick.

"By the way, Concubine Yu just mentioned that you have reported the matter of Concubine Chun's mother's family to the Emperor?"

Ruyi glanced at Su Lujun, hoping she would understand who her enemy was. She replied righteously, "Yes, I cannot bear to see Concubine Chun sad. May I ask, Your Majesty, is this wrong?"

"As a consort, Concubine Xian is interfering in government affairs at will. You will be punished by kneeling before her and receiving twenty slaps on the face every day. Zhao Yitai, you will carry out the punishment yourself."

"Your servant will obey the Queen's orders."

"Please, Queen, please revoke your order. This is all my fault..."

"what!"

Gao Xiyue stood up without warning, and the hammer in her hand used to crack nuts was accidentally sent flying and hit Hailan.

Hailan's plea was suddenly stuck in her throat. She fell to the ground, covering her shoulders, and looked at Gao Xiyue in disbelief. She didn't believe this was a coincidence.

Before anyone else could react, several loud slaps were heard.

"Crack! Crack!"

The scene was dead silent, and only Gao Xiyue's furious voice could be heard.

"I've tolerated you for a long time. You're always pretending all day long. No matter what you do, it's always someone else's fault, right? Are you the only good person?"

"Who doesn't know your little tricks? It's disgusting, and you dare to disrespect the Queen."

Langya had not expected this scene, and quickly sent someone to separate them.

"What are you doing? Separate them quickly. What a disgrace!"

Without waiting for the palace servants to come forward, Jin Yuyan and Su Lujun rushed forward first. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and must not be missed.

Seeing Jin Yuyan pulling Gao Xiyue's arm and pinching Ruyi hard several times, Hai Lan no longer cared about the pain in her body and joined the battle.

How could Bai Ruiji and the others sit there peacefully when all the high-ranking concubines had already taken the throne?

I also stepped forward to separate them.

"Master, please calm down, Master..."

"Empress Xian, your armor has poked our master, please stop moving."

"Master, be careful not to fall!"

……

The palace maids who were serving beside them were shouting more exaggeratedly than each other, but in fact no one dared to act rashly, they were just doing it for the sake of showing it.

Only惢心 was weak and could only protect Ruyi, and Ye Xin was too late to protect Hai Lan.

Yihuan had never seen such a scene before, and was protected by He Xi as she stood far away outside.

"Master, you are weak, you can't go forward, what if you get hurt?"

Yihuan, who was persuaded to stop, could only look anxiously at the chaotic crowd. Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the queen drinking tea and the faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

She didn't seem to realize how outrageous the scene was, and there was no trace of panic on her face.

It was as if she was certain that this farce would not have any impact on her.

Yihuan's heart sank, and for the first time she doubted whether she should be so close to Ruyi.

I came here only for the emperor, not to compete for favor in the harem, so why should I get involved?

Ruyi buried her head in her arms. The pain on her face made her extremely angry. Her body was constantly pushed and rubbed, causing her to fall in different directions.

A stinging pain came from one part of the body and was quickly pushed in another direction.

But the palace maids are very good at taking sides, and it seems like they are protecting Ruyi.

It was clearly Gao Xiyue who instigated the one-sided beating, which led to a scene of fighting between their camp.

"That's enough! Stop it, what are you doing?"

Seeing that the commotion had almost died down, Langya started to scold loudly.

Gao Xiyue has always lived a life of luxury, so these few hits were enough to vent her anger. She stopped when she heard Langya's voice.

The situation was quickly brought under control. Except for Ruyi and Hailan, everyone else's clothes were just a little messy; even the hairpins on their heads were not askew.

In comparison, Ruyi was much more miserable. Her cheeks were slapped red, the tassels on her bun were pulled off, and her clothes were wrinkled beyond recognition.

There were also a few tufts of rabbit fur from the collar mixed in with the earrings.

These were just the visible embarrassments on the surface; underneath the clothes, there was a dull stinging pain everywhere.

A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. Ruyi looked around at everyone in the room with bloodshot eyes, and finally her gaze fell on Langya, who had an expressionless face.

Ruyi believed in her relationship with the emperor. After what happened today, even if she was wrong about what happened to the empress dowager, the emperor would definitely pity her.

"I will report today's events to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager truthfully."

Just as Ruyi turned around and left with red eyes, preparing to go to the Yangxin Palace to complain, the young eunuch outside rushed in anxiously.

He accidentally knocked Ruyi to the ground and didn't care.

"Empress, news has come from the Yangxin Palace that the Emperor woke up with a high fever this morning and is unconscious. All the doctors from the Imperial Hospital have rushed over."

"What did you say? How is the emperor now? What caused the fever? Has he taken any medicine?"

When Ruyi heard that Hongli was ill, she immediately forgot the pain in her body. She was helped up by惢心 and grabbed the young eunuch and kept asking questions.

Yihuan also looked outside the door anxiously, wishing she could fly to the Yangxin Palace immediately.

Langya ignored Ruyi's behavior, stood up and led everyone out.

The young eunuch immediately broke free from Ruyi's hand that was tugging at his sleeve and said, "Empress Xian, this is all I know. I don't know anything else."

The group hurried to the Yangxin Palace. The room was full of imperial doctors with serious expressions, discussing something in whispers.

At a glance, Langya saw several old men with white beards, which was completely different from the team of imperial doctors who took care of the concubines.

"Alright, everyone, get up. How is the emperor?"

Langya waved her hand to stop them from saluting and asked in a very anxious tone.

At the same time, he walked forward to check on Hongli's condition.

Ruyi and Yihuan stood outside worriedly, craning their necks to stare at Hongli lying on the bed without blinking.

"Reporting to the Empress, the Emperor is not simply suffering from a cold and a fever; he is also experiencing occasional convulsions."

The imperial physician paused and continued, "The most important thing is that the emperor's teeth are clenched tightly, and the boiled medicine cannot be fed to him at all."

"I and others have tried acupuncture to stimulate the corresponding acupuncture points, but the effect is minimal."

The leading doctor lowered his head and quickly finished the rest of his words. It was not that they were unwilling to take responsibility. There had to be someone with a say to make the decision on such matters.

"Fumigate with medicinal juice would also be effective, but it would take a longer time. Forcibly prying it open would also injure the emperor's body. I am incompetent, so I beg the Empress to make a decision."

Coincidentally, the Queen Mother also rushed over at this time, with genuine worry in her eyes.

The Queen Mother looked haggard after she became ill. Every time she appeared in public, she relied on gorgeous makeup to maintain her former dignity. But now she appeared here with a plain face.

The person who least wants anything to happen to Hongli is the Empress Dowager.

The eldest son has grown up, and his mother's family is very powerful. If anything happens to Hongli, even if other court officials want to kill their brother, the Fucha family will definitely not agree.

Now she is just the Empress Dowager and is constrained in every way. If she becomes the Grand Empress Dowager, she dare not imagine what her life will be like.

Like a bird with its wings plucked, it is locked in a magnificent birdcage, waiting to die.

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth in anger at the thought of having to live under Langya's control.

"Why are you still thinking so much at this time? Just feed the medicine first."

The Queen Mother made a prompt decision and instructed the imperial doctors to force the medicine into the patient's mouth.

Langya had no objection to this. In the play, Hongli has always been in good health and is famous for his longevity.

Although she didn't know the cause of the illness, she didn't think Hongli would die from it.

The Queen Mother was relieved to see that Langya did not object. Fortunately... fortunately she was not that careless.

The imperial physicians received clear instructions and began to prepare intensively.

Just as they were preparing to force-feed her, Ruyi rushed out from the crowd.

He snatched the medicine bowl away and pushed away all the people surrounding the bed with one hand.

Then he turned around and looked at Langya warily.

He said righteously: "No one is allowed to harm the emperor's dragon body!"

"Princess Xian, what are you doing? Someone, pull her away."

At this time, it doesn’t matter what kind of fate is compatible or what the future plans are.

The most important thing in the eyes of the empress dowager is to ensure that Hongli can safely get through this difficult time.

Facing Concubine Xian, the Queen Mother was no longer as gentle as before.

Ruyi was filled with passion at this moment, and her expression was like that of a wife who was about to commit suicide for love. She glanced around disappointedly, raised her arm, and resolutely poured the medicine into her mouth.

Then he immediately possessed her and kissed her in public.

[Oh my God, does Concubine Xian think she is acting out a story?]

Lines of text appeared on the upper layer of the screen, instantly attracting the attention of Jin Yuyan and others.

The little figures in the painting are vivid and lifelike, acting out all the scenes that Ruyi imagined in her mind.

In the film, she is Hongli's true love. In the critical moment when surrounded by wolves, she resolutely stands up and risks her life to disobey the orders of the Empress Dowager.

Feed the medicine safely into Hongli's mouth.

Gao Xiyue was a little excited to see the little man she hadn't seen for a long time. For concubines like them who had children, the emperor's illness was important, but not that important.

But what made her depressed was that they were supposed to be surrounded by wolves, but why did all of these concubines have various dog head portraits on their heads?

Kim Yu-yeon's Husky looks wise and intelligent, but she looks like a white plush toy, only able to grin and smile foolishly, not domineering at all.

[Can she even understand what the imperial physician is saying? She's gritting her teeth. What good will it do even if she kisses him?!]

[What kind of imagination is this? Will she stop kissing me in public? ]

[So disgusting! The medicine is leaking out and all over the place.]

Under the horrified gaze of the Empress Dowager, Ruyi was dragged aside by several palace maids. The medicine stains at the corners of her mouth reminded everyone that the scene just now was not a dream.

The imperial physician didn't know where to look, and his hands and feet were wavering as he forced the medicine into the patient's mouth.

All we can do next is wait.

The leading old doctor looked at Langya hesitantly several times.

Langya noticed that he seemed to have something to say, so she wiped Hongli's sweaty forehead with a handkerchief and urged him seriously.

"It's already late. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Hiding it will only delay the Emperor's treatment, which is a serious matter."
