Ruyi's Rebirth: Ruyi's Disease Retreat Retreat

However, Hongli knew about this and told Ruyi about his suspicions about Concubine Chun.

"Ruyi, although Concubine Chun is kindhearted, she has hurt you after all."

Ruyi sighed softly and said, "Your Majesty, I do not wish to pursue the past any further. All I want now is peace in the harem."

Hongli frowned, took Ruyi's hand and said, "Ruyi, don't be too kind. I'm afraid she will harm you again."

Ruyi raised her eyes to look at Hongli, her gaze firm. "Your Majesty, Concubine Chun is now fully focused on taking care of the children. I don't think she has any evil intentions. If we act rashly against her now, I'm afraid everyone in the harem will be in a state of panic."

Hongli pondered for a moment and said, "Ruyi, you are always so generous, but I still can't let go of my worries."

At this time, the palace maid came to report that Concubine Chun came to see her with her child.

Ruyi glanced at Hongli and said softly, "Your Majesty, why not let her in? It's a good opportunity to see what she's thinking right now."

Hongli nodded slightly.

After Concubine Chun came in, she bowed respectfully with a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

Ruyi smiled and asked her to stand up, secretly observing her every move. A confrontation with undercurrents was about to begin.

After Concubine Chun stood up, she pushed the child beside her forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Yongzhang has been thinking about coming to pay his respects to Your Majesty these days." The child kowtowed obediently.

Hongli looked at the child and his expression eased a little.

Ruyi smiled and called the child over, taking some snacks from the table and giving them to him.

Imperial Concubine Chun secretly observed the expressions of the two and spoke cautiously, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have come here today, firstly to pay my respects to you with my child, and secondly to apologize to Your Majesty.

I made a terrible mistake in the past, and every time I think of it I feel guilty and uneasy. Now I just want to teach my children well and no longer have the desire to compete for favor."

Ruyi shook her head gently: "Sister, you are too kind. There is no need to talk about the past."

Hongli snorted coldly: "I hope so, but don't be so hypocritical."

Imperial Concubine Chun quickly knelt down and said in fear, "I dare not do that. I beg Your Majesty to understand."

Seeing this, Ruyi hurried to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, seeing how terrified and apprehensive my sister is, I believe she is truly repentant.

It is right for sisters in the harem to live in harmony. Since my sister has expressed her feelings today, we should get along well from now on."

After hearing what Ruyi said, Hongli's expression eased slightly.

Concubine Chun looked at Ruyi with gratitude.

After Hongli left, Concubine Chun said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for pleading for me."

Ruyi chuckled, "We were friends when we were still in the palace. How could I not know your character?"

Tears welled up in Concubine Chun's eyes. "Your Majesty, I will never betray your trust. However, the hearts of people in this palace are treacherous, and I'm afraid someone will use this incident to make a fuss in the future."

Ruyi took her hand and said, "As long as I am still the master of this harem, I will never let anyone slander you. But my sister, you must be more cautious in your actions in the future."

Concubine Chun nodded in agreement.

The two chatted for a while, and then Concubine Chun took her child and left.

A few days later, there was a banquet in the palace.

The concubines from all palaces attended the ceremony in their best attire.

Not long after Concubine Chun took her seat, Concubine Jiayi said sarcastically, "Oh, isn't this Concubine Chun who made a mistake? Now she's getting the upper hand again."

A trace of embarrassment and anger flashed across Concubine Chun's face. Just as she was about to retort, Ruyi slowly spoke: "Concubine Yi, I have said before that there is no need to mention the past. It seems that your memory is not very good." Concubine Yi was so scared that she quickly lowered her head.

During the banquet, Ruyi whispered to Concubine Chun: "Sister, don't let others distract you. Let's just do our best."

Concubine Chun was deeply moved. She knew that in this deep palace, with someone like Ruyi as a support, life would not be too difficult.
