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

Time goes back to when Ruyi was sent to the cold palace

When Ruyi was thrown into the cold palace by Fucha Chuying, she was still in shock and kept knocking on the door desperately.

But Hailan was still being punished to kneel, Li Yu had already run back to the Yangxin Palace, and no one paid any attention to her at all.

Ruyi's voice was already hoarse, and it became even hoarser after shouting continuously.

Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, Ruyi silently got up from the ground, brushed off the dust on her body, picked up the discarded bag, and looked around at everything.

Obviously, without惢心's company, Ruyi, knowing that she can only rely on herself in the future, can no longer laugh.

Yangxindian

Li Yu angrily reported the incident to Hongli, who angrily slammed the table and said, "Zhepin and Shenchang are beating up concubines? A few days ago, Yipin and Bai promised to beat up Jin Yuyan!

Have you learned all the rules? A bunch of shrews! Do you really think the harem is just a back garden? Why doesn't the queen take care of it? Call them over here!"

Li Yu said happily: "Yes"

Wang Qin returned to report, "Your Majesty, the Empress heard that Concubine Zhe and Concubine Shen were causing trouble in the cold palace, so she punished Concubine Zhe... Concubine Shen is here... Concubine Bai... Concubine Yi... Now all the Empresses have returned to the palace to reflect on their mistakes..."

The son-in-law Long's arrogance was instantly extinguished, and he said dryly: "Since the Queen has punished them, I will not call them. In fact, they just want to vent their anger..."

Changing the subject, the son-in-law Long Modao said to A Ruo, "Mrs. Shen has shown no regard for our past friendship and assaulted her former mistress wantonly. I punish her by grounding her for three months and making her copy the palace rules."

Although Li Yu was somewhat dissatisfied, he had at least disciplined one person, so he accepted the order and said, "I obey your command."

Unfortunately, Zhalong's behavior did not cause any real harm to A Ruo, but only made Ye Xin and惢心 feel more sorry for A Ruo.

Cold Palace

Ruyi looked at the dozen or so rooms scattered in the cold palace, all in a dilapidated state. Ruyi could only grope her way to an empty room, which was full of dust. Ruyi couldn't help coughing.

The room was gloomy both inside and outside. Ruyi shivered from the cold and hugged her arms. The laughing voice of the deposed concubine could be heard outside, making the room even more gloomy.

Ruyi had no choice but to resign herself to her fate and start cleaning. The dust was raised and choked Ruyi, making her cough. Ruyi covered her nose with one hand and could only hold the broom with the other hand to sweep the floor because she was wearing armor.

Ruyi had never done rough work before, and she didn't know that this way not only would the house not be clean, but would also spread dust everywhere. Ruyi worked hard for several hours and finally managed to clean up the house.

Thunder sounded outside the house at the right time, and the crazy concubine outside became even more excited. She swayed around outside, and her shadow shone through the paper on the window, scaring Ruyi so much that she dared not move.

Ruyi forced herself to remain calm and opened the door, only to see several deposed concubines smiling and saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you! Your Highness, I pay my respects to you~"

Ruyi suddenly wasn't afraid anymore, and she even felt pity for these deposed concubines. She suddenly remembered that Hailan had packed a lot of pastries for her. Ruyi went back to the house, took the pastries, and put them on the wooden bridge in front of the house.

Ruyi put down the cake, stepped back and saluted, saying, "Ulanara, I greet everyone."

When the deposed concubines saw the food, they rushed forward to grab it, paying no attention to Ruyi. However, Ruyi smiled at the deposed concubines' actions, as if she had been moved by them.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the palace wall. Ruyi listened carefully and found that it was someone shouting "Sister——". Ruyi hurried to find the source of the voice and walked to the gate.

Ruyi heard Hailan say in surprise: "Sister! I'm here, sister!"

Ruyi squatted down and said, "Hai Lan! Why are you here?"

Hai Lan said aggrievedly, "Sister, Concubine Zhe...she forced me to kneel for four hours. I came to find you when the time was up. If it weren't for Concubine Zhe, why would I let you go into this hellhole alone?"

Ruyi comforted her, "Hai Lan, it's okay. It's better for me to suffer here alone than for two people to suffer together. It's just..."

Hailan was extremely worried when she heard Ruyi's change of topic. She asked hurriedly, "Just what? Sister?"

Ruyi sighed and said, "It's just too lonely."

Hai Lan understood Ruyi's intentions and said harshly, "It's all惢心 and A Ruo's fault. What a traitor! Sister, you've forgiven惢心 for betraying her master, yet惢心 refuses to follow you into the cold palace and won't let Ye Xin follow you."

Sister, don't worry, when Ye Xin comes back, I will send her directly to accompany you. How dare a slave girl disobey her master's orders? "

Although Ruyi was satisfied in her heart, she still said hypocritically on her face: "Hai Lan, you don't have to do this for me. You only have one maidservant, Ye Xin. If you give her to me, what will you do?"

Hai Lan was moved and said, "Sis, you think so much about me. I can't help but think about you. Xiangyun beside me is quite smart. After Ye Xin leaves, I will promote her to the head maid."

(Do you still remember Xiangyun? It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember. Let me tell you. Xiangyun is the little maid who betrayed Hailan and reported Hailan for stealing charcoal. Xiangyun has been bribed by the heroine and is now her spy.

As for why Hailan gave the maidservant to Ye Xin and not Xiangyun? Because Hailan is Ruyi's most loyal servant, so of course she wants to give Ruyi the best. Ye Xin is a senior maidservant of the Xin generation, and her abilities are on par with Lianxin and惢心. So Hailan would definitely give the best maidservant to her elder sister.

Ruyi was touched and said, "Okay, Hailan, it's good that you have a plan. But I'm going to the cold palace and I didn't bring any bedding with me. Hailan, can you..."

Without惢心 to protect her, Ruyi can only ask for things on her own.

Hailan nodded immediately and said, "Don't worry, sister. I'll have someone send it over after I get back."

Seeing that Hailan was so understanding, Ruyi finally condescended to comfort her.

Ruyi smiled and said, "Hai Lan, I'm glad you're still with me in the harem. Hai Lan, Concubine Zhe just punished you, and now you've come running to the cold palace to find me. You're probably going to collapse now, right? Remember to ask the imperial physician to see you when you return to the palace..."

After hearing this, Hai Lan was moved again and wished she could take Ruyi's place and bear the blame.

After the two of them gave each other some insincere comfort, Hailan reluctantly left, limping away.

Ruyi watched Hailan go with a smile on her face, and turned around to see an old woman staring at her. She was so scared that she screamed, "Ah——"

Concubine Ji sneered, "I can see the new emperor's concubine so soon."

Ruyi recovered and said to the old woman respectfully, "Junior Ulanara Ruyi pays respects to the elder."

Ji Taipin touched her face unhappily and asked, "Senior? Am I old?"

Ruyi was stunned, and for once her emotional intelligence took over: "Forgive me for being so presumptuous. I just don't know your name, so I call you that."

Ji Taipin sighed and said, "I am the late emperor's Jipin."

Ruyi said again respectfully, "Greetings to Concubine Ji."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Ji glanced up and down at Ruyi and snorted coldly, "Not many people who enter this cold palace can survive. I want to see how long the daughter of the Ulanara family can endure."

Then he left on his own.

Ruyi didn't understand why, but she watched Concubine Ji leave and waited anxiously for Hailan to bring her something. Her bag was not big, and only contained snacks, armor and clothes. If Hailan didn't bring some bedding, she would have to sleep on the bed board.

Fortunately, Hai Lan was thinking about Ruyi, so when she returned to the bedroom, she asked Xiangyun to deliver something to Ruyi.

When Ruyi was almost frozen to death, Xiangyun finally walked slowly to the cold palace and shouted Ruyi's name. After Ruyi walked over and answered, Xiangyun rolled up the quilt and stuffed it through the door of the cold palace.

Xiangyun then said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I just yelled and attracted the guards. I can't stay here any longer. Your Majesty, please get your bedding. I'm afraid people will find out, so I'm leaving now."

Ruyi understood very well and said gently, "Thank you for coming. Is Hailan okay?"

Unfortunately, Xiangyun was one of those affected by Ruyi and Hailan's Ninja Turtles magic, and was not moved at all by Ruyi's lies.

Xiangyun said respectfully, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I applied the medicine as soon as I returned to the palace. I asked you to tell me that I will come to see you as soon as my leg injury is healed."

Ruyi smiled and said, "Let Hailan have a good rest."

Xiangyun: "Yes."

Then Xiangyun slipped away.

Ruyi wanted to take the quilt out, but she couldn't pull it out with her hands. She could only use both hands, but she was wearing armor and didn't have much strength.

Ruyi could only stick her butt out and pull desperately. After finally pulling the quilt out, she fell on her butt because she didn't control her strength. Ruyi almost cried in pain.

Thinking of her own dignity, Ruyi held back, picked up the bedding that fell on the ground, wiped her tears and went into the house.

And the cold palace guards that Xiangyun used as an excuse—

Ling Yunche and Zhao Jiuxiao spent the money sent by Yu Hu, drinking wine and eating snacks, and were very happy.

Ling Yunche said disdainfully, "This Wu Shuren from the cold palace has been making so much trouble since she came in. She's always making noises."

Zhao Jiuxiao comforted her, "If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be able to have the wine. The old lady gave us a lot of silver."

As he spoke, Zhao Jiuxiao bumped into Ling Yunche and joked, "You know what, this Wu Shuren looks quite similar to your sister Yanwan."

Ling Yunche thought of Wu Shuren's pig-headed face after he was thrown into the cold palace, and said with a chilling look, "What are you looking at? How can Yan Wan be that... that old?"

Zhao Jiuxiao thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Your sister Yanwan is only fourteen, and the one inside looks almost forty, right? The clothes they're wearing are the same color as the old nanny's..."

The two of them chatted and laughed, not taking the happenings in the cold palace seriously at all.

Ruyi was busy for a long time and finally lay down to rest.

The next day

The eunuch in charge of serving food came and shouted, "It's time to eat."

The women in the cold palace heard the noise and rushed out, grabbing the dry buns on their plates and gobbling them up greedily.

In order to maintain her dignity, Ruyi walked over slowly and did not want to compete with them.

Fortunately, it was her first day in the cold palace, and the eunuch left a portion for her. Ruyi took it with a smile and did not forget to thank him. When she looked down, she saw that the steamed buns were moldy and the food was dirty.

Ruyi's smile gradually disappeared.

The eunuch didn't care what Ruyi thought and shouted again: "Grand Concubine Ji."

Concubine Ji walked over leisurely and picked up a relatively fresh meal.

Ruyi looked at hers, then at her own, and couldn't help but ask, "Grand Concubine Ji?"

Concubine Ji looked at the food in her hand and said calmly, "No need to look. Find a way to get some silver, and Eunuch Ma will make you something fresh."

Ruyi was surprised and asked, "Can you use silver to exchange things in the cold palace?"

Concubine Ji seemed to have heard something new. She looked Ruyi up and down again and said coldly, "Who would have a problem with money? It's the same in the cold palace."

Only then did Ruyi realize how big a trap she had fallen into, but she didn't have anything valuable with her, and she was reluctant to sell her armor, so she could only wait miserably for Hailan to help her.

Ruyi hadn't taken a bath yesterday, and there was nothing she could do. She had almost no life experience and didn't know how to light a fire or boil water. She could only wait for Hailan to bring Ye Xin to her.

This wait lasted for five days.

During these five days, Ruyi not only ate moldy steamed buns, but also changed all the clothes she could change into. Now the house was full of dirty clothes. The snacks she brought with her were eaten up on the second day. The snacks that could have lasted for three days were naturally gone after she shared them with the deposed concubine.
