*November 1, Yikun Palace

It was approaching the beginning of winter, and the weather was slightly cool. It had been a month and a half since Concubine Jia had fallen from grace, and almost half a month since she had been confined to her room.

Everyone in the harem gradually forgot about the turmoil of the past few days, including Concubine Xian.

The only people who didn't forget were惢心, Jiang Yubin, Li Yu, Bai Ruiji and Yongshou Palace.

With Jiang Yubi's careful treatment,惢心's injuries have been brought under control, and she is gradually recovering at a speed slightly faster than that of ordinary people.

So the wedding date of the two was set on November 1st. Jiang Yubi also wanted to get married as soon as possible, lest Concubine Xian, the troublemaker, cause any trouble again and implicate Suo Xin who was in a side hall of Yikun Palace.

Two red paper lanterns were hung on the Yiku Palace.

Concubine Xian was standing on the steps, with Concubine Chun and Concubine Yu beside her. The three of them were looking at惢心, who was dressed in red and had a lot of gold ornaments on her head. These items were bestowed by the emperor and also served as惢心's dowry.

Jiang Yubin was wearing a big red satin flower and standing beside惢心 happily.

What the guards beside them were carrying was the dowry that Concubine Xian gave to Suo Xin, which included six wedding quilts, two copper wedding basins, and some common household items, which were specially found by Concubine Xian from the people.

Concubine Chun smiled and said to Ruyi, "That's great."

"Such ordinary happiness is indeed something we can't ask for." Ruyi looked at Jiang Yubi and惢心 affectionately with a hint of envy on her face.

"The Empress has brought gifts." Zhao Yitai, with two young eunuchs, carried the gifts from the Empress to Ruyi and the other girl, and exchanged a few polite words with Ruyi.

Ruyi was already feeling a little embarrassed, as the things the Queen had sent her were all vulgar gold and silver items, which really polluted the pure feelings between惢心 and Jiang Yubi.

But the queen is the queen after all, and it is not something she can refuse. So Ruyi smiled slightly and said to惢心 tolerantly, "Since the queen is so kind, you should accept it."

If Concubine Xian didn't speak, Suo Xin couldn't thank her either. So she thanked Zhao Yitai and the Queen for her care.

Zhao Yitai was about to leave when Wang Chan came with a group of people. Two of them were carrying a load of dowry, a total of six loads.

Wang Chan said that this was the dowry given by Concubine Ling to Suo Xin, and it was also a little gift from the Concubine.

When Zhao Yita saw this dramatic change, he did not rush back to report, but stood aside with a concerned look.

The Queen's people were watching from the side, and Ruyi couldn't refuse Wang Chan directly, so she looked at惢心 with a slightly stern face, with the corners of her bright red mouth turned down, looking calm but unhappy.

Suoxin still smiled implicitly, pretending not to understand.

Wang Chan walked towards Suo Xin and Jiang Yubin, and said with a little relief, "Miss Suo Xin, Doctor Jiang, these are the sincerity of the master, and I wish you two can live happily together forever."

Wang Chan winked at the two people and said, "There are gold and silver treasures inside. Concubine Xian is stingy, so I don't think she can give you anything good. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me."

"The master said that even if Doctor Jiang is upset with you, he will come to find you."

Wang Chan smiled even more happily and said sincerely, "Miss Suo Xin, don't worry about what Yikun Palace thinks. Yongshou Palace is your mother's home forever."

These words touched 惢心's heart instantly. Tears welled up in her eyes and she said with great emotion, "I understand."

Jiang Yubin also hurriedly coaxed, "How dare I? I will definitely treat惢心 like a treasure."

This prevented惢心 from actually crying.

A few people came close to whisper, and as they talked, Miss惢心's eyes turned red, and it was obvious that she was moved by Concubine Ling's words.

Zhao Yitai laughed secretly immediately, and was seen by Ruyi.

After Wang Chan finished telling惢心 what Concubine Ling said, Ruyi looked at惢心 again, smiled faintly, and cast a calm gaze over惢心's eyes, "惢心, how can we accept such a valuable thing from Concubine Ling for nothing."

惢心's smile continued and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Concubine Xian threatened her with words, and although she could have refused forcefully, she was afraid that it would affect Concubine Ling's instructions to keep an eye on Concubine Xian's every move.

Suo Xin frowned, feeling a little conflicted.

Ruyi just thought that she was embarrassed to refuse, so she wanted to speak for her.

Ruyi opened her red lips slightly, but before she could utter a word, Wang Chan interrupted her and said, "What Concubine Xian said is right. Miss Suo Xin cannot accept our master's things for nothing. So when you return to the palace to visit Concubine Xian, come to Yongshou Palace and stay for a while."

Wang Chan finished this paragraph quickly and turned to leave immediately, fearing that Concubine Xian would stop him and force the dowry sent by her master back.

Suo Xin looked somewhat helpless and embarrassed, but she still said respectfully to Wang Chan who had already left, "Thank you, Eunuch Wang, and thank you, Concubine Ling, for your concern."

Seeing that惢心 was truly embarrassed, Ruyi sighed inwardly and thought, that was all. Wang Chan was about to leave, leaving his things behind, so she didn't want to chase him.

However, she believed in惢心.

A vulgar person like Concubine Ling, who only cares about gold and jade but has no real soul, will only use these means to win people's hearts.

惢心 was loyal to the Ministry of Punishment, and would not change her words even when tortured, insisting on defending her innocence. She would never be bought by such vulgar people.

A strange feeling arose in Ruyi's heart, and she felt that all these things and countless things could not escape her eyes that saw through everything.

When Zhao Yitai saw Wang Chan leave, Ruyi hinted and threatened惢心 to return Concubine Ling's gift. He also saw Li Yu with a distorted face behind Ruyi, so he quickly took his leave.

He had to tell this interesting story to the Queen as soon as possible.

Jiang Yebi and惢心 bowed to Concubine Xian from a distance, then left side by side.

Li Yu had been hiding behind Concubine Xian, not daring to look at惢心's smiling face.

He no longer has the glory he once had, and has gone from being a man in the imperial court to someone close to Concubine Xian.

Although he was willing to do anything for Concubine Xian, just because of her kindness in the past, the gap between them could not be made up by kindness.

And there was nothing he could do for惢心.

only……

Li Yu walked forward slowly and stopped the two people. He lowered his head, not daring to look at惢心's happy expression, nor at Jiang Yebin's disgusted eyes.

"Suo Xin, I can't leave the Forbidden City, so I will give these worldly possessions to you two. A piece of land will also give me some confidence." Li Yu said somewhat shyly.

"No need, Eunuch Li." Seeing how distraught he looked, Suo Xin did not soften her heart and just coldly refused.

Jiang Yubin held her hand comfortingly and told her not to be afraid to speak her mind.

"You don't have to think about these. The first thing to do is to help Concubine Xian."惢心 smiled gently and said very sincerely.

With his eyes lowered, Li Yu saw the two people holding hands, and heard惢心's refusal and the chuckle.

He...didn't know why.
