The two people nodded to each other, and that meant they knew each other.

Ruyi glanced at Rong Pei, and Rong Pei obediently withdrew. Then she looked up at Ling Yunche and said, "Ling Yunche, why are you here?"

Ling Yunche looked at Ruyi's eyes, which reflected the moon. He thought of Yanwan again. Yanwan's eyes were more beautiful and brighter than Concubine Xian's. When the moon was in her eyes, they looked more like a clear obsidian. Those eyes would smile brilliantly, and then he would hear a cute voice, "Brother Yunche."

"Ling Yunche, what's wrong with you?" The Noble Concubine Xian in front of him was as considerate and friendly as ever, asking the dazed Ling Yunche.

Ling Yunche rubbed his temples, shook his head, and said, "Empress Xian, I am fine."

"I am worried about you, Your Majesty. I heard from Li Yu that Your Majesty has been very unhappy recently." Ling Yunche said, staring into Ruyi's eyes.

Ruyi turned around slowly and Ling Yunche followed her. Rong Pei had already dismissed the servants in Yikun Palace, so there was no one guarding outside and they were allowed to talk freely.

"Who cares whether I'm happy or not?" Ruyi said angrily with drooping eyelids and a hint of distress in her tone.

"Eunuch Li Yu also told me that the emperor did this because he cares about you. The Fucha family is still angry, and Lord Fuheng is a popular person in front of the emperor. The emperor has to take other people's thoughts into consideration. Otherwise, the Ulanara clan will suffer the wrath of the Fucha family." Ling Yunche said.

Ruyi nodded and sighed, "I know the emperor's heart and understand his difficulties. But it is really frustrating to face the cold and lonely water flow in Yikun Palace all day long."

After she finished speaking, she laughed at herself and said, "Why am I saying such depressing words?"

Ling Yunche saw that although she was smiling, there was no happiness on her face, only sadness. The dim moonlight gave her a broken strength.

But he couldn't do anything. Ling Yunche felt powerless. He was powerless.

He opened his mouth, but could only utter meaningless words of comfort, "My Lady, please don't be too sad."

Ruyi chuckled, covered her face with her hands, looked at him with a smile, and said, "I'm fine. Although the emperor has not come to see me, his heart is with me."

"Everyone else thinks I'm sad, but I'm not." Ruyi sat on the chair and shook her body gently, looking as cute as a young girl.

Ling Yunche also smiled slightly. He wanted to protect the best Concubine Xian in the world.

*Yanxi Palace

Concubine Yu was not favored, and Qin Li knew that she was close to Concubine Xian, but considering that Hai Lan had a child and the emperor cared about the prince, he would always talk to Concubine Yu, so the monthly salary of the Yanx Palace was provided. Although there was no shortage of other items, don't expect to get any good things.

No one would go to the Yanxi Palace anyway. Concubine Yu had been out of favor for many years. The emperor would never set foot in there.

Concubine Yu still keeps the main hall of the Yanx Palace where Concubine Xian lived in the past, but she dares not live in it and often has people clean it.

But Concubine Xian might remember the sad things that happened when she was sent to the cold palace when she stepped into the Yanxi Palace. So she never went to the Yanxi Palace.

As for Concubine Yu, perhaps she was not interested in living in the main hall, or perhaps she respected Concubine Xian too much, so she insisted on squeezing into a side hall.

So Qin Li pretended not to know about this. Anyway, the side halls were for the concubines of lower rank to live in, so what was wrong with only giving them the items included in their allotment?

Anyway, all the servants in the Yanx Palace knew that Concubine Yu didn't care about gold and silver and other vulgar things. She only cared about Concubine Xian in the Yikun Palace.

Since Concubine Yu likes to endure hardships, let her do it.

The main hall of the Yanxi Palace still retains the original layout of Ruyi. Hailan is sitting on a lower chair with an empty teacup in front of her. There is also an empty teacup on the table next to Ruyi's old chair.

This was the teacup that they used to use. Hailan would occasionally come here to sit and would have someone put an empty teacup here to help her calm down.

She went to her sister's place a few days ago and saw that the furnishings of the Yikun Palace were not as good as before. Sanbao found an opportunity to secretly tell her that Qin Li, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, saw that Concubine Xian was not often summoned by the Emperor, so he tried his best to withhold the items in the Yikun Palace and refused to give her any good things.

Hailan knew that the emperor's suspicion would not dissipate if her sister refused to get rid of Li Yu. But her sister scolded her harshly for what she said, and for a moment, Hailan became annoyed.

She wanted to help her sister and get her out of her current situation, but she had no good idea.

The only thing she could think of was to get rid of Li Yu and find a random excuse. That would be enough. It wouldn't dirty her sister's hands and it would relieve her sister of her worries.

But Hailan was really afraid that her sister would be angry about this. If her sister really ignored her, what should she do?

Hai Lan sighed, leaned her arms on the table, and stared at Ruyi's teacup in a daze.

She vaguely saw her sister sitting here in the past, smiling happily, and said to her, "Hai Lan, I don't want you to become a cold-blooded and heartless person."

"Sister." Hai Lan opened her mouth and muttered.

She didn't want to disappoint her sister.

Hailan let out a long sigh and could only think of other ways.

At present, Concubine Ling and Concubine Jia are the most favored, followed by the Queen and Concubine Shu.

Concubine Ling and Concubine Jia were extremely charming, which was something that no one else could match. As for the Empress and Concubine Shu, the Emperor cared about them and often visited them because of their children.

child.

She and her sister also have a child.

*Yongqi suddenly developed a high fever. He was already weak due to the cinnabar contamination he had received while in his mother’s womb.

I have a high fever now and I can't lower the temperature.

Young Yongqi was still mumbling, "Xian'er Niang, I miss Xian'er Niang."

Hai Lan was so anxious in the Yanx Palace that she quickly took Yongqi to the Yikun Palace to find Concubine Xian.

As soon as he saw Concubine Xian, Yongqi stopped muttering, but his little face turned red due to the high fever. He pitifully clutched a corner of Ruyi's sleeve, asking her to accompany him.

Hailan and Ruyi stayed with Yongqi all the time, and Jiang Yubin also hurried over to treat the Fifth Prince.

The emperor and the queen also hurried over to visit.

Everyone knew that the Fifth Prince had been a little weak since his mother's womb, because Concubine Yu was harmed by someone and ate cinnabar. So he was especially cared for.

"How come he suddenly has a high fever?" The emperor took a closer look. Although Yongqi was asleep, his brows were tightly furrowed, and it was obvious that he was sleeping uneasily.

Hai Lan knelt on the ground and shook her head blankly, "I don't know. It suddenly caught fire yesterday, and there was no sign."
