The fun of the southern tour is to see the scenery of Jiangnan, but the emperor wanted to see the beauties of Jiangnan, so he left for the trip a little earlier. In November, some very green leaves were about to fall, and there was actually a feeling of desolation.

The country was peaceful, the treasury was full, and the emperor could go wherever he wanted. So let alone the winter tour to the south, even if he wanted to spend New Year's Eve in the south of the Yangtze River and see the beautiful spring scenery, no one would object.

This world belongs to the emperor.

Ever since Ruyi made the mistake in public, the Emperor lightly exposed it and did not punish her, but everyone with a discerning eye knew that unless there were some extraordinary changes, Concubine Xian's honor and favor would be gone.

Ruyi knew that the emperor was angry, and she was also worried that her future would be the same as those of the previous emperor's concubines. The Concubine Ji she saw in the cold palace was sent to the cold palace by the empress dowager on some pretext.

The queen was not kind-hearted. She had deliberately given her a bracelet made of Linglingxiang to prevent her from getting pregnant. If Fucha gained the upper hand, she would certainly take the opportunity to drive her away.

Ruyi could only endure the uneasiness in her heart, but at the same time she told herself that the emperor would not be so heartless, because when they fell in love, he had said that their love would last until death.

After talking so much, she became convinced again that the emperor was only temporarily ignoring her because of other people's gossip.

that is it.

Yes, that's just it.

The emperor still has her in his heart.

However, from Ruyi's recollection of the night at West Lake, the two were so intimate. In the emperor's recollection, Ruyi was unreasonable and he always gave in out of consideration for their old relationship.

The difference in the two people's impressions shows that their childhood friendship is actually not much anymore.

Ruyi claims to know the emperor best, but her mind is filled with too many self-deceiving lies and conceit. The whole world praises her, so she is lightly lifted up in the clouds, unable to see herself clearly, and only feels that she is the most unique embodiment of sincerity in the universe, and the emperor likes her, loves her, and cannot live without her.

She really knew the emperor best, and she knew best how to make the emperor furious and insane by using an "I'm doing this for your own good" attitude.

But the emperor is the only ruler in the world, he enjoys power. He is the only one in the world, this is the emperor.

How could the emperor allow his concubine to be his spiritual master?

Emperor of emperors?

A spiritual emperor?

Then why is he still an emperor? He should just be someone's grandson. It's really ridiculous.

*When Ruyi was encouraging herself, the emperor's mind was already filled with some thoughts that did not quite fit the image of "nostalgia and loyalty" that he wanted to create.

He was thinking, if he had not placed Ruyi, who had no children, no talent, and now also no virtues, in the position of imperial concubine, it would have been a good thing.

Then when his Yan Wan tried her best to please him, he could at least give Yan Wan a more honorable honor.

It's not just some jewelry. No matter how precious it is, the emperor has seen too many of them and feels that they are not worthy of Yan Wan's painstaking efforts.

He wanted the best for her.

As for Ruyi, the emperor thinks that she is good enough as a concubine. Anyway, Ruyi doesn't care about the position and just wants to be with him, right?

However, he had already made this decision back then, and now he couldn't let Ruyi demote him just because of her words. The emperor wanted a reputation of being considerate of old times, and forgiving the mistakes of a concubine who had served him for many years was his kindness.

I'll just find a reason to demote you in the future.

*On the night of the West Lake Dance, the emperor ordered people to spread a thick blanket on the ground and also asked for many red plum petals, which were scattered on the ground.

Yanwan was wearing a gauze skirt and dancing barefoot on it. When she spun, the wind brought by her robe made the petals slide gently, making her look like a fairy transformed from a plum blossom, charming and captivating.

Since that night, Concubine Ling became even more favored.

*Ling Yunche was like a mad dog, struggling and tormenting in his heart. He gradually deduced a result that was extremely surprising and somewhat credible.

He thought that when he was in the cold palace, he was just fulfilling his responsibility and guarding the palace, which made Concubine Xian have false thoughts about him.

Therefore, as soon as Concubine Xian came out of the cold palace, she deliberately did not allow him to plead for Yan Wan and asked Yan Wan to come out of the flower room.

The purpose of Concubine Xian's action was just to force Yan Wan. She was afraid that the little palace maid Yan Wan would commit suicide, and Concubine Xian would get what she wanted.

Later, Concubine Xian must have done something when Concubine Jia was harshly criticizing Yan Wan, causing Yan Wan to suffer and shed so many tears.

In the past, he had never known what Yan Wan's difficulties were and why she was unwilling to tell him. Now he knew that it was because he was a fool and the benefactor he believed in had ulterior motives and wanted to torture Yan Wan. Yan Wan was afraid that telling him would make him entangled, so she could only hurt herself and leave him.

Ling Yunche almost wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet. He really hated his own stupidity. Why was he such a goody-goody? Why did he have mercy on a concubine in the cold palace who should not be pitied?

Now look what has happened, Yan-wan, Yan-wan, she has caused us to separate and prevented us from becoming a couple!

As for why Concubine Xian was like this.

That is, Concubine Xian fell in love with him, so she hated Yan Wan and wanted to drive her away, and then make Ling Yunche her male lover to entertain herself when she and the emperor were not on good terms.

Ling Yunche pushed all the blame onto Ruyi and speculated about her inner thoughts with great malice, as if he had never had any romantic feelings in his heart before and was only doing things because of his duty.

It was his duty to suck out the snake venom from Concubine Xian's injured hand, it was his duty to complain to Concubine Xian when he was sad about the separation from Yan Wan, it was his duty to escort Concubine Xian back to the palace and swear to watch over her forever, it was his duty to go to Yikun Palace late at night to drink with the confined Concubine Xian, it was also his duty...

It was all due to his duty. Ling Yunche was a pure man who only loved Yan Wan and had no other thoughts.

But God was cruel to him and played such a big joke on him.

The words that Ling Yunche and Ruyi said when they admired each other in the past still echoed in my ears.

"Love that goes beyond the love between men and women."

Ling Yunche's eyes were red. He drank up the mung bean soup that was served today in one gulp and said bitterly, "Vile and filthy!"

The friendship that transcends the relationship between men and women has now been unilaterally shattered because of the anger of some people.

It's such a pity and lament.

Such perfection, without any mixture of love between men and women, is just a sincere love of acquaintance, knowledge and mutual understanding. In this vulgar and dirty world, it is such a precious and rare thing.

It started out with a ridiculous excuse, covered with a fig leaf, and now it ends with a ridiculous curtain call.

It can be said to be a circus two-person performance that echoes each other.
