Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Spring in the Palace
Chapter 18 Reason
Yan Wan apologized repeatedly, "Empress Mei, I am rude." For a moment, she was too timid to look directly at Bai Ruiji.
Bai Ruiji only felt that Yanwan was pure and kind, and had not been completely bound by the rules of the palace. Her eyes smiled, and her porcelain white teeth were revealed under her red lips.
"Sister Yanwan, please don't be estranged from me. I was just a geisha in the Nan Mansion before, but one day I was favored and became an empress in the palace." Bai Ruiji held Yanwan's hand, holding the handkerchief she had just used to wipe her tears.
"For so many years, I've been lonely in the palace, and there's no one to talk to." Meipin looked at Yanwan eagerly, "Now that I see you, it feels a bit like the free time in the past."
"It's good that Concubine Mei doesn't mind my stupidity." Yan Wan turned her head away, half in self-pity and half in fear, and let Concubine Mei pull her without looking at her.
Meipin immediately felt like she was facing her own sister. Yanwan was younger than her and the two had similar backgrounds, so they really hit it off from the first sight.
"If you don't mind, please call me sister. Seeing you is like seeing my former self, and it's as intimate as seeing my younger sister."
"Sister." Yan Wan called softly, her eyes moving as she looked at Meipin, her clear gaze filled with a hint of surprise and shyness.
"Sister." When Meipin was looked at by such a beautiful woman with such eyes, she suddenly felt a little pity in her heart.
She finally understood why the emperor liked Yan Wan and made her a noble lady in a short time.
No matter who makes such beautiful and watery eyes look at you, as if the whole world can only see you, it is impossible not to be moved and can't help but feel love and pity.
Bai Ruiji was used to seeing beauties in the harem, and had seen exotic beauties like Concubine Jia, but she had never experienced a beauty who only focused on your feelings.
She couldn't bear it, let alone the emperor.
Bai Ruiji has not been favored by the emperor since the loss of her son, so she would not be jealous of who the emperor favors.
She was somewhat happy for Yan Wan, happy that her younger sister, whom she had just met, would not really fall out of favor with the emperor in the future. This meant that she had a brighter future and would not be lonely in the palace.
"Sister seems to be worried." Yan Wan looked at Bai Ruiji and did not forget the purpose of her visit today, which was to find out the reason.
Bai Ruiji pulled Yan Wan to sit down. She had just been wiping her tears and apologizing. Looking at Yan Wan still standing awkwardly on the ground, she blamed herself for being impolite.
"Sister, I am thinking of my dead child." This matter was not a secret. Everyone in the harem knew that her child was murdered, but she herself did not know who the murderer was.
She once thought that Imperial Noble Consort Huixian was the mastermind, but now someone told her that it was Fucha who did it. Sometimes she was afraid that she had taken revenge on the wrong person and hated the wrong person.
But what could she do? Bai Ruiji was filled with the urge to avenge the innocent child, and this was the motivation that kept her going in the world. Otherwise, life would be boring.
The Empress Dowager didn't have any arrangements and it seemed that she didn't need her as a pawn anymore. Well, she hadn't been summoned by the Emperor for a long time. Now that the Empress Dowager had Concubine Shu, naturally she didn't need her to do anything.
Besides, there was nothing she could do.
Yan Wan understood what was going on. She knew that it was Concubine Jia who murdered Concubine Mei's child. Jin Yuyan bribed someone to add mercury into fish and shrimp, and then pulled Concubine Huixian and Su Lian to pretend that the Queen had the intention to do this evil thing.
Jin Yuyan died after Meipin.
Poor Bai Ruiji, her obsession for the rest of her life was to avenge her child, but she didn't realize that she had always chosen the wrong person and became a knife in someone else's hands.
Maybe she didn't know until her death that the real murderer was Li Xin and her master Jin Yuyan, who pretended to be thinking of her and were busy informing her of the news about Mo Xin.
Yan Wan felt a little melancholy. Bai Ruiji had never harmed anyone and was a little arrogant, but she had been imprisoned in the deep palace for many years and had become much more refined, yet she ended up like this.
It can be seen that in this harem, being kind does not necessarily lead to a good ending.
Meipin rubbed her chest. When she talked about her child who died young, she felt a dull pain in her heart. "In the past, I only knew that someone had killed my child, and I thought the murderer had been executed."
"I didn't expect that after so long I would learn that the murderer was someone else, and she is still in a high position, living a very happy life!"
Meipin said this hatefully, her eyes looking for someone to eat, as if the person in front of her was Langya, and she wanted to pounce on her, drink her blood, and eat her flesh.
Yan Wan comforted her, "Calm down, sister. Your health is important. Drink some tea first." Then she quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.
In his heart, he was thinking about how to persuade Bai Ruiji to think more clearly and tell her that the Queen was not the mastermind behind this incident. Otherwise, if she insisted on killing Langya, she would only follow in the footsteps of yesterday.
Bai Ruiji might be able to hurt Langya, but she herself would also be secretly executed by the emperor.
She shouldn't have ended up like this, it's such a pity.
Bai Ruiji patted her chest and let out a breath, "Yeah. If my body collapsed first, I might not live to see my enemy die." With Yanwan's comfort, she cheered herself up and calmed down.
Bai Ruiji took the teacup from Yanwan and smiled at her gently. "Sister, why did you suddenly come to Yonghe Palace?"
Yan Wan showed some shyness, "Sister, you don't know, I was going to pay my respects to the Queen, but the Queen was worried about the Seventh Prince, so she didn't allow strangers to enter."
Yan Wan looked innocent, "I have just been favored for a short time, and the Queen has been very kind to me. She doesn't look down on me because I was born a palace maid."
"Her Royal Concubine Xian is in charge of the six palaces. She is noble and elegant, but she seems to be prejudiced against me. She is always cold and icy. Whenever I go to pay my respects, she only says a few words and then drives me away."
Yanwan rubbed her handkerchief, pursed her lips, and wrinkled her brows with worry, looking like a poor little thing being bullied.
"Empress Xian? In my impression, she is always indifferent and doesn't care whether the concubines are favored or not." Bai Ruiji was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Empress Xian would treat someone like this because of rumors. This shattered her filter of Empress Xian's indifference.
Bai Ruiji did not doubt what Yan Wan said. She had also heard some things. It was rumored in the palace that Yan Wan was a maid who was trying to curry favor with a rich and powerful man, and Concubine Xian did show her displeasure. There were several times when they met in the palace. Yan Wan paid her respects to Concubine Xian, but Concubine Xian ignored her and left.
Presumably, Concubine Xian also believed the rumors and thought that Yan Wan was a superficial person, so she disliked her.
When she first met Yan Wan, she felt that Yan Wan was sincere and simple, and she liked her very much. If Concubine Xian was willing to get to know Yan Wan a little, she probably wouldn't dislike her.
Meipin was still thinking hard about words to comfort Yanwan. Looking at the distressed Yanwan, she felt that what she had just said was really confusing, as if she was defending Concubine Xian. So she forcibly pulled Yanwan and leaned closer to look at her.
"Sister, Concubine Xian is cold, that's her fault. I like you very much, so don't be sad for someone who is not worth it."
