Yan Wan is reborn as a legitimate wife: Curing Ruyi's Douyi syndrome

Changyin Pavilion

"White Snake" was being sung on the stage.

Hongli and Ruyi accompanied the Empress Dowager to watch a play. The Empress Dowager watched with great interest, but Hongli and Ruyi did not communicate at all. They sat on both sides of the Empress Dowager with stiff expressions.

The Queen Mother sighed, "Men are easily confused. Xu Xian doesn't have many ideas, but when he does, he's more heartless than anyone else.

Even though White Lady is a snake fairy, she has to humble herself and beg her husband to change his mind, so that they can be reunited.

Hongli said meaningfully, "Lady Bai is willing to compromise for her husband's sake."

Ruyi retorted calmly, “The Queen Mother is right. White Snake opened a pharmacy for Xu Xian, stole the magic herb, and gave birth to children.

Fortunately, Xu Xian understood the relationship between husband and wife and came to his senses. If Xu Xian had been stubborn and unrepentant, then Bai Niangzi's love for him would have been in vain.

The Queen Mother was a little embarrassed and said, "Just now you two were so silent, but now you are talking so coherently. The Emperor hasn't been to Jingren Palace these days, has he? There's even less to say to you two."

Hongli: "I'm sorry to have caused the Empress Dowager some worry."

Ruyi: "I'm sorry to have caused the Queen Mother so much worry."

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "Raising a child for a hundred years means worrying about him for ninety-nine."

Hongli and Ruyi remained silent.

The Queen Mother asked, "Hey, what's the next play?"

Fujia stepped forward and said, "Empress Dowager, it's the play 'On the Wall Horseback' that the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort love the most."

The Empress Dowager also tried her best to persuade Ruyi and Hongli, and praised: "This is a good play. I remember that the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort both liked this play."

Hongli was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "Empress Dowager, the Mongolian prince has come to the capital, and I will go back to arrange an audience with him."

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Forget it. Government affairs are more important. Don't delay them by accompanying an old woman like me to the theater. Go ahead."

Ruyi had no choice but to stand up and said, "Empress Dowager, I have already offered incense and oil to pray for blessings in Anhua Palace. I cannot delay you any longer."

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Forget it, you can go too."

Hongli and Ruyi left one after another.

Fujia sighed and said, "Queen Mother, you prepared this drama in vain."

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "These two foolish people."

Fu Jia comforted her, "Your Majesty, you have taken enough care of it. Let them decide the rest on their own."

The Queen Mother said: "Ah, I am old. If the two of them are so incompatible, won't it only make the rumors in the palace more intense? I am really worried that there will be more trouble."

Fujia: "Everyone has his own destiny."

The Queen Mother said: "Forget it, let them be."

Hongli and Ruyi parted ways unhappily in Changyin Pavilion, and the rumors about Ruyi and Ling Yunche in the harem became more and more intense.

What's more, some even say that Hongli treated Ruyi so coldly because he discovered the affair between Ruyi and Ling Yunche. Otherwise, why did Hongli, who was so accommodating to Ruyi before, become like a different person now?

The concubines were all shocked. How could there be such a big melon? How come they didn’t know about it?

Zhongcuigong

Lin Ruoyao: "Sister Concubine Chun, is the incident between the Imperial Concubine and Ling Yunche true?"

Su Lujun said bewilderedly, "I don't know either. Who spread the rumor?"

Everyone shook their heads in confusion.

Lu Muping: "None of you did anything? Who started the rumor?"

A Ruo: "Who knows? Maybe Ruyi is just too annoying? No one can stand her."

E Yinzhu sympathized with Ruyi and said, "These rumors are really outrageous. The emperor is so petty. If he had really caught Ruyi and Ling Yunche in their affair, Ling Yunche would have become a eunuch long ago!"

Bai Ruiji nodded and said, "Exactly. Is the Emperor a very devoted person? You make it sound like he's innocent."

Huang Qiying concluded: "This world always demands more from women."

Yangxindian

Hongli was furious when he heard the rumor. For a man to have been cuckolded by a concubine and yet still keep it to himself was a humiliating shame!

Hongli was furious and helpless in the Yangxin Palace. He shouted angrily, "This is nonsense! Yuhu, arrest all those who spread the rumor! Punish them severely! Let all the servants in the palace watch and see what will happen to them if they spread it!"

Yu Hu said worriedly, "Yes, Your Majesty. But now the palace is full of rumors. Even if there is a severe punishment, the rumors will spread out, which will be detrimental to your reputation!"

Hongli was furious and asked, "So what do you say? What should we do?"

Yu Hu felt a little regretful for trying to comfort Hongli. She couldn't even figure out the case, and she was asked to find a way to prove Hongli's innocence? How could she possibly have that ability?

Yu Hu bravely offered a suggestion, "This servant... This servant thinks... why not investigate Guard Ling? As long as Guard Ling is proven innocent, the rumors will be self-defeating."

What could Yu Hu do? He could only resort to the most foolish self-proclaimed truth. As long as Ling Yunche wasn't an idiot, he wouldn't dare to secretly hide the Imperial Concubine's things, right?

Hongli was so angry that he lost all his rationality. He nodded and said, "Then do as you say."

Yu Hu took the order and left. In order to dispel the rumors, he not only arrested the palace maid who spread the rumors, but also openly searched Ling Yunche's room in front of everyone.

When Ling Yunche saw Yu Hu coming, he thought Ruyi had finally taken action to arrange a marriage for him, so he happily went forward to greet her, saying, "Aunt Yu Hu, why are you here?"

Yu Hu nodded and said, "Guard Ling, (turning head), come here, check it for me."

Ling Yunche looked bewildered. When he saw someone trying to rummage through the box under his bed, he stepped forward and tried to stop them.

The more Ling Yunche tried to stop him, the louder the discussion became, and Yu Hu's expression became uglier. "Don't you think you really have it?"

Ling Yunche still wanted to play the emotional card, so he stopped the searchers and said, "My lord, my lord, I just saved the Imperial Concubine at Mulan Paddock. I wonder what crime I have committed? Why are you suddenly searching for me?"

The man looked up and it was Gang An who had persuaded Ling Yunche before. Ling Yunche was distracted and Gang An snatched the box away.

Gang An: "Save these words for your defense to the Emperor. We'll know what you've done wrong when we see what's in your box."

Gang'an was not stupid either. It was obvious that there was something wrong with Ling Yunche. If he really smashed the box in public and found the stolen goods, he would be in trouble if rumors started to spread tomorrow.

Ling Yunche finally came to his senses, looked at the people who were talking behind him, and explained: "Inside the box is the yellow jacket that the emperor awarded to me. I cherish it very much, so I put it in the box for safekeeping."

Ling Yunche finally spoke sensibly. Yu Hu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Don't worry, Guard Ling. If you are truly innocent, you will reveal your guilt in front of the Emperor."

Although Yu Hu is not good at doing things, her ability to survive is first-class. She has no idea what is in Ling Yunche's box, so it is best for her to explain to the emperor.

If she opened the box in public and found the Imperial Concubine's things inside, Ling Yunche would be dead, and she, the one who came up with the bad idea, would not be able to escape either.

Ling Yunche was sweating profusely, but he knew that he couldn't open it in front of everyone, so he could only nod in agreement.
