The Changchun Palace team travels back in time to Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

In the middle of the night, the snow fell even harder.

Jinzhong directed two eunuchs to carry Xiangyun's body to an open area near Xianfu Palace, and then personally cleaned the body. Because the incident happened so suddenly, a coffin could not be found immediately, so they simply wrapped it in a straw mat. Then they had it carried to the Imperial Household Department.

Rongyin stood solemnly not far away, and Yingluo held an umbrella for her.

After everyone finished dealing with the situation, Jinzhong caught a glimpse of a figure behind a latticed window in the wall not far away. Without showing any emotion, he reported to Rongyin, "Your Majesty, we have finished dealing with the situation. Please go back and rest." As he spoke, he glanced at the wall.

Rongyin heard Yingluo's voice in her mind: "Someone is spying on us."

She understood and replied, "Good, you did a good job tonight. Go and collect your reward tomorrow. Jinzhong, keep a close eye on things and report everything you saw to the Emperor."

Jinzhong agreed, then turned around and called over a young eunuch, whispering some instructions to him.

Afterwards, Yingluo and Jinzhong went to the Imperial Household Department to wake up the sleepy Qin Li. Before he could complain, they said, "The person we sent needs to be sent to the mortuary in the suburbs early in the morning. Quickly prepare a carriage."

Qin Li's mouth formed an "O" shape, and Yingluo leaned closer and whispered, "The one who died was Xiangyun from Yanxi Palace."

Upon hearing the words "Yanxi Palace," Qin Li immediately woke up halfway from his drowsiness and called for someone to come over.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Xiangyun's body being loaded into the car.

Jinzhong bowed and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Qin. I still need to return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to report to the Emperor, so I will take my leave now."

Qin Li said, "You've worked hard, Eunuch Jinzhong," and bid him farewell.

Yingluo said, "Eunuch Qin, this matter is a bit strange. Could you please retrieve Xiangyun and Shuangxi's records and send them to Her Majesty the Empress tomorrow?"

Qin Li exclaimed in surprise, "Shuangxi? How come he's involved too?"

Yingluo asked, "What? Are you acquainted with Shuangxi?"

Qin Li waved his hand and said, "We're not exactly acquainted." He then leaned closer and whispered, "But since a murder has occurred, it'll definitely be all over the news in a couple of days, and you might not be able to find me."

"Alright, if I'm still around tomorrow morning, I'll send you the Imperial Household Department's records as soon as possible. Come with me later to get the keys, and then find a chance to leave the palace. My master's residence is next to Hongluo Temple in Huairou County. Once you're inside, find a cabinet in the east wing; there are several brocade boxes inside. One of the boxes contains a secret document about double happiness."

Yingluo: Shuangxi's treatment is so special, and he even has confidential files? It seems he has a lot of problems.

Qin Li touched the back of his neck: "Speaking of which, it's really creepy that this happened in the middle of the night. I feel a chill from my neck to my heels."

What they couldn't see was that Xiangyun's soul had just drifted past Qin Li from behind.

Xiangyun's soul drifted and wandered to Yanxi Palace.

The ghost messengers should arrive soon, but she feared she wouldn't be able to wait for her master. She could only hope that this time she had succeeded in dragging Consort Xian down with her, making the emperor suspicious of her, and weakening her luck. As she silently prayed, "May my master grant me success," she prepared to rush in.

Suddenly, a hand landed on his back: "Little friend, once you enter Yanxi Palace, there's really no turning back."

Xiangyun was startled and turned around, seeing a pale-faced ghost guard dressed in a black robe and a tall hat floating in mid-air. Behind the ghost guard was a ball of light, inside which her master was imprisoned.

Xiangyun immediately became alert, extending her fingernails and revealing her sharp teeth, ready to strike.

With a skull on her head, Lady Liu shouted, "Xiangyun, stop! The Ghost Messenger specifically released me to seek revenge!"

Xiangyun immediately withdrew her attack and knelt down in the void: "Xiangyun thanks the Ghost Messenger for granting my request!"

The ghost messenger hurriedly helped her up, saying, "Get up, get up. The main world is a modern society at this stage, and such etiquette is not applicable. I only said that I was letting Lady Liu come back, not so that you could take revenge, but to let you know why you can't take revenge."

Lady Liu asked, "Why does the lord think we are destined to fail in our revenge?"

Xiangyun's mind raced: "You mean, Consort Hai?"

Yuan Yi was somewhat surprised: "Although that's not the whole reason, you also sensed something strange about her? It seems your talent is indeed quite good." As he spoke, he raised his hand and formed a hand seal, passing it over Lady Liu and Xiang Yun: "The protective measures are complete. Come with me into Yanxi Palace and take a look."

Yuan Yi, along with Lady Liu and Xiang Yun, floated to the top of Yanxi Palace.

Suddenly, Lady Liu exclaimed in surprise, "Why is the fortune here not diminishing, but instead showing signs of strengthening?"

Yuan Yi landed with them, saying, "That's why I said your thinking was only half right. Take another look."

After Ruyi and Hailan returned to Yanxi Palace, both of them were frightened and chilled. They went back to their respective chambers, and Su Xin and Ye Xin did not dare to neglect them. They quickly helped them lie down and lit charcoal braziers and hand warmers.

Even so, Ruyi still sneezed a few times.

A'Ruo was slapping Ruyi's cloak loudly from the side.

Ruyi, wrapped in the blanket, asked, "A'Ruo, what are you doing?"

A'Ruo said indignantly, "Your Highness is cold, and I'm even angrier. How could the Imperial Concubine frame you like this! Your Highness, you must think of a way to stop suffering like this!"

Ruyi asked calmly, "Then what do you think I should do?"

A'Ruo said earnestly, "In my opinion, a person lives for their pride, just as a tree lives for its bark. Moreover, the Imperial Concubine has used such a vicious method to frame you this time. If you don't fight back, the Imperial Concubine will press you even harder! Therefore, you must fight back to prove yourself!"

She further analyzed, "In terms of family background, the Ulanara clan has produced an empress, while the Noble Consort is merely a bondservant raised to the banner. In terms of rank, there's a significant difference between the Noble Consort and the Imperial Concubine, and one day the Noble Consort could suddenly surpass her. In terms of favor, the former master and she were once equals, but now that Xiangyun has committed suicide, she has gone too far, further demonstrating to the Emperor that this is a setup. The Emperor will naturally pity you. As long as you use your skills to win over the Emperor, he will frequently visit Yanxi Palace."

At this moment, Su Xin stepped forward with a hand warmer and placed it into Ruyi's quilt.

Ruyi said, “What you said is all correct, and you have all the reasons, but we can’t just look at the immediate gains and losses. As for me, I don’t look at how high a person’s strengths can take her, but only at how hard a person’s weaknesses can make her fall. The Consort’s actions are reckless, and now she has shaken the Emperor’s heart. She will suffer the consequences.”

Xiangyun sneered, "This is just like what storytellers say. Crying day and night, can you cry Dong Zhuo to death?"

Yuan Yidao said, "She only thinks that the other party will suffer the consequences of their actions, but she does not fight back for herself. Unfortunately, the luck is on her side. Consort Gao will really be unlucky for a certain period of time because she has no luck. It is as if she has gotten what she wanted invisibly. This can be considered a typical form of luck."

Inside Yanxi Palace, A'Ruo was still indignant: "But I'm still not satisfied! They've been tormenting Master and Consort Hai like this, pretending to be sick and fainting, and they haven't even said what to do with them yet!"

Ruyi said casually, "Alright, alright, you've had enough tonight. Go and rest."

Aruo had no choice but to bow and leave.

After A'Ruo left, Ruyi said to Su Xin, "Su Xin, it's all thanks to you for reporting to the Emperor, otherwise he wouldn't have arrived so quickly."

Su Xin said earnestly, "When this servant saw that my mistress had been humiliated, I naturally had to report it. However, Eunuch Wang Qin kicked me out, and I happened to run into Eunuch Li Yu and Sister Yingluo, so I went to report to the Emperor and Empress. Otherwise, things would have been delayed."

Ruyi said, "Wang Qin is not easy to deal with; he only listens to the Consort and the Empress."

Su Xin thought to himself, "Wang Qin is difficult to deal with, but Li Yu is different."

Ruyi praised, "This is where you are better than A'Ruo; you don't say much, but your eyes are always on the spot."

Su Xin said solemnly, "I come from a humble background. It is because of your kindness that I have been promoted to where I am today. I have nothing to say but to wholeheartedly protect and serve you."

Seeing that the master and servant had finished talking and gone to sleep, Yuan Yi said, "Alright, let's look at the main point for tonight."

In Hailan's bedroom.

Hailan managed to fall asleep, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she recalled the humiliation and terror of the day, and couldn't sleep well at all.

Xiangyun suddenly exclaimed, "My lord, my grandmaster, look!"

A gust of cold wind blew by, blowing the window frame open and making a sound as it hit the window frame.

Suddenly, a white thing wriggled out of the open window. Or rather, it was crawling out of the entire wall.

Yuan Yidao: "As expected. But I'm not very familiar with this kind of thing."

The pale thing arched and finally left the bedchamber. It was covered with white wings, which hung low to the ground, but then suddenly unfolded!

As the wings unfolded, Lady Liu and Xiangyun instantly felt an immense pressure descend upon them.

They managed to steady themselves and looked closely. The creature had six wings, and even though it was covered in feathers, they could still see that its entire body was covered in eyes. The white feathers and the area around the eyes were filled with raging flames, illuminating the dark night as if it were daytime.

In the dazzling light, the monster soared into the air and leaped across the roof of the palace, as if performing a strange dance.

He uttered a strange sound, as if he were chanting: "Sister, sister, the pillar of my house, the salvation of my body. The women of the harem deceive and harm me, but only you, sister, protect and help me; my fangs are gnawed by you, sister; my claws are wielded by you. You were, are, and will always be my only one!"

As the strange song began, an overwhelming pressure surged forth. Lady Liu and Xiangyun were nearly unable to withstand it.

Xiangyun asked with difficulty, "Sir, what exactly is this? And what should we do now?"

He then methodically pulled out a spirit portal: "I haven't seen it much either, let's run."

Still able to hold on, Lady Liu asked reluctantly, "Are we just going to leave like this?"

Yuan Yi opened a portal, grabbed one of them in each hand, and pulled them inside before following him in: "What else can we do? Although this doesn't look like its complete form yet, with its overwhelming power, without my protection, you would have been obliterated the moment this thing appeared. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to withstand it."

Back in the conference room, after settling Liu Niangzi and Xiangyun in and contacting colleagues to pick them up, Yuan Yi immediately took a screenshot of the VCR and opened the image search.

A notification sound came from the screen: "Searched the Eastern Region database, no similar images found."

Yuan Yi thought to himself, "I don't think I've ever seen this before," and said, "Then search the entire database of the main world online."

After a while, the notification sounded again: "Search complete. Resulting search for image similarity: Seraphim."

When Yuan Yi opened the search results, the reference image showed a human head and three pairs of wings, with eyes covering the wings.

Written records indicate that this is an image of a divine messenger originating from the West. He fully understands God's love and joyfully burns himself out with that love and understanding. He is the most powerful warrior, rarely engaging in any labor; his duty is to stand beside God's throne, praising God and proclaiming His love and tolerance.

Is it a non-human being that appears in the world in an external form similar to that of a divine messenger because it has achieved a similar inner nature to some extent...?

Yuan Yi copied the search results and started writing a report.
