Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Spring in the Palace

Hailan only felt a flash of lightning passing through her body. She was not afraid of the consequences of her false oath.

She was about to speak when Wei Yanwan said with her unique, disgusting coquettishness, "Concubine Yu, since you care about Concubine Xian, if you are truly innocent, then use Concubine Xian to swear. In this way, I will believe that you made an unintentional mistake and am willing to plead for you. It is also for the sake of the Fifth Prince. You cannot let his mother have such a terrible stain on her body."

Hailan just opened her mouth and then closed it all of a sudden. How could she swear by her sister?

Regardless of whether what she said was true or not, she would not swear on her sister's behalf. If there was any retribution, it would only fall on her, and her sister would never be implicated.

Seeing that she remained silent and her face was full of disappointment, Yan Wan said angrily, "It seems that Concubine Yu really did such a thing. It's really a waste of the emperor's kindness to you!"

The emperor glanced at Yan Wan with a smile and soothed her, "Okay, okay, why are you always so angry? It's so disgraceful." Although he scolded her, his tone was full of relief.

Everyone saw that Concubine Ling's rude words had struck the emperor right in the heart.

Yan Wan snorted softly, shut her mouth obediently, and just sat on the chair staring at Hai Lan.

The emperor was relieved a little by Hai Lan's fatigue. He said, "Concubine Yu, since you are unwilling to swear, do you admit that you did it on purpose?"

The emperor still had some hope in his heart. He remembered that Hai Lan used to be quiet. Her personality was consistent with her quiet face. She was very gentle. The only flaw was that she cared too much about Concubine Xian and often lost her sense of proportion. How could she become like this today?

Hailan lowered her head and said, "Yes."

The emperor's inner expectations also dissipated at this moment, turning into disappointment, and he sighed again.

The Queen looked at the Emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, how do you want to deal with Concubine Yu?"

The emperor looked at Hailan who was kneeling on the ground. Hailan was pretty and had pleased him in the past. She had also given birth to Yongqi for him. Although she had not been in his bed since then, she had never done anything wrong. The emperor felt a little soft-hearted for a moment and was unsure of how to deal with her.

Jin Yuyan saw the emperor's hesitation and wanted to push him to step down from the position of concubine. She said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yu's actions almost brought disaster to our Yongsheng. Even so, Your Majesty still pities Concubine Yu?"

Ruyi came to her senses and accepted this terrible thing. She was angry at Hailan for doing this, but she also remembered their past friendship and couldn't bear to see Hailan being punished too harshly.

Ruyi leaned forward slightly, and she leaned forward and said to the emperor earnestly, "Your Majesty, please consider that Hailan has served you for many years, so please don't blame her."

Even though she had done such a bad thing, her sister was still willing to plead for her. Hai Lan saw the tear her sister had just shed, which fell on her heart and burned her with unbearable pain.

Tears welled up in Hailan's eyes and flowed down her face. She looked at Ruyi and whispered, "Sister."

When the emperor saw this scene, all the reluctance and pity in his heart disappeared. He just reprimanded Concubine Yu, but Concubine Yu had no reaction. But Concubine Xian pleaded for her, and she shed tears of gratitude?

The emperor twisted the bracelet in his hand and said, "Concubine Yu is vicious, so I demote her to a concubine." He looked at Hai Lan with disappointment and said, "Concubine Yu, you are so cruel, please don't lead my child astray."

"Send the Fifth Prince to the prince's residence. He doesn't need to be kept with Concubine Yu." The emperor closed his eyes, not wanting to see Hai Lan again. It was terrifying that she had a heart as vicious as a snake under her pure appearance.

Hai Lan kowtowed to the emperor, "I thank the emperor for his grace."

Jin Yuyan was not very satisfied with this. How could Concubine Yu become a concubine? It would be better if Concubine Xian could also be demoted. She said, "Concubine Yu thinks so highly of Concubine Xian, so she must listen to whatever Concubine Xian says. I'm afraid..."

Hai Lan raised her head and said, "If Concubine Jia wants to slander Concubine Xian, she must have evidence."

Yan Wan nodded and agreed, "What Concubine Yu and Concubine Jia said makes sense. Sanbao was Concubine Xian's confidant, but he killed the person the emperor gave to Concubine Xian. Even though Concubine Yu was dissatisfied, Sanbao agreed to this practice. It's really strange."

"Your Majesty, you should ask Sanbao in detail about the reason. Otherwise, Concubine Xian will be branded as someone who instigated Sanbao to collude with Concubine Yu and end up killing others." Yan Wan said.

The emperor nodded and asked, "Sanbao, are those things you just said all you thought about?"

Ruyi felt nervous. She always had a bad feeling, as if something she had not noticed was about to surface.

Sanbao crawled forward twice, propped up his upper body with his arms, and said, "Your Majesty, I hate Eunuch Li Yu in my heart."

"Ever since the Emperor bestowed Li Yu upon our master, Li Yu has replaced me as the chief eunuch of the Yikun Palace. As for me, Imperial Concubine Xian was too busy to make any arrangements. So I became a nameless and marginalized person."

"I eat little, sleep late, and do a lot of work. My monthly salary is also the lowest in Yikun Palace." Sanbao sighed and said,

"Noble Concubine Xian is my master, and I swear to be loyal to her until death. But why did Li Yu squeeze me out? I have worked hard to serve Noble Concubine Xian for more than 20 years, but this is the end of me."

"I am unwilling to accept this. That is why Concubine Yu told me her plan and I took the opportunity to take revenge. I just didn't want to implicate innocent others. I deserve to die." Sanbao kowtowed heavily on the ground, making a dull sound, and blood oozed from his forehead after a few kowtows.

"Sanbao is also a pitiful person." Yanwan sighed, with some pity on her face.

The Queen took over and advised Yan Wan not to be kind to people like San Bao, "Concubine Ling is kind, but no matter how pitiful she is, she cannot be so cruel to others." She turned to look at Yan Wan and smiled at her.

Yan Wan smiled back, nodded and said yes.

"After all, it was because Concubine Xian failed to discipline the palace servants that this turmoil occurred," said Jin Yuyan.

Hai Lan was afraid that the emperor would vent his anger on her sister, so she said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian is innocent. Please don't let my guilt implicate Concubine Xian, Your Majesty."

The emperor sighed. He was really disgusted by Concubine Yu's behavior. Ruyi had never been able to control the palace maids before, and he couldn't let her act so absurdly again.

The operation of Yikun Palace is full of flaws. Without someone to keep watch at night, the area around him has become like a sieve. Everyone under him has ulterior motives. How can this be tolerated?

"Noble Concubine Xian failed to discipline the palace maids, so she is under house arrest for half a month. In addition, except for Rong Pei, all the palace maids in Yikun Palace should be replaced with a group of people who are down-to-earth and willing to work." The emperor said with a frown.

He turned to look at the queen and nodded at her, "Queen, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter."
