*What Ruyi didn't expect was that Langya didn't give her those false titles. The pain that seeing others sitting on the honorable throne of the queen brought to Ruyi were all spiritual, not real.

Su Lian had already brought her people to Yiku Palace. Zhao Yita failed to catch up with Rong Pei just now, but he did not expect that this old lady, who looked inconspicuous, could run so fast.

Fortunately, the monk can escape but the temple cannot. No matter how much she tries to escape, she will have to return to Yikun Palace.

So Zhao Yita and Su Lian went together, and the two of them led the palace maids and eunuchs to the Yikun Palace.

Lianxin, who was beside the Queen, remembered how good Ruyi had been to her in the past. She had comforted Ruyi when the Queen betrothed her to the psychopathic eunuch Wang Qin. So Lianxin gave the noble Concubine Xian space to guard her dignity, and said that she wanted to serve the Queen, so she would not go with her.

It's rare for so many people to come to the Yikun Palace. Today it finally became lively again. So many people were standing here, but no one was talking.

Only one person stood in front with a stern face, looking at the person opposite with a gray face, and she said, "This is such a good tonic soup, please drink it, Concubine Xian."

Ruyi was silent, and Rong Pei was also frightened. She was afraid that Su Lian would vent her anger too.

The little palace maid brought over the casserole of boiling tonic soup. Before leaving, Su Lian put it on the fire to heat it up again, fearing that it would be ineffective after it cooled down and would not be able to nourish Concubine Xian's body.

Ruyi thought about it and said, "Such a good thing should be given to the Queen to nourish her body."

Rong Pei stretched out her hand to push away the bowl handed by the little palace maid, and Su Lian immediately said, "Your Majesty is used to seeing this kind of thing. Since Master Xian thinks it is rare, don't waste it."

"Drink it." Su Lian exhaled and said, "We may be here on orders."

The bowl was placed in front of Ruyi. Zhao Yitai clenched his whisk, took a step forward, and said with a fake smile, "Master Xian, please come in."

He was standing next to Rong Pei, holding the handle of the whisk in his hand. Rong Pei felt creepy and had the urge to hide away, but this was the Forbidden City and they had to follow the rules. Zhao Yita could have used the Queen's power to chase Rong Pei, but since Rong Pei had run out of Changchun Palace, he could no longer touch her.

So he could only look at her sinisterly like this.

Ruyi reached out her hand to touch the edge of the bowl. The nails that she had cut off when she fainted had grown back, and because she wore more nail guards, a few more nails remained.

Just by placing your fingernails on the top, you can feel the heat from the bowl.

Along Ruyi's metal armor, it heated the first knuckle of her finger, which was so hot that she immediately retracted it and tucked her delicate fingers into her arms.

Ruyi lowered her eyebrows and said in surprise, "It's so hot."

Su Lian suddenly smiled, her face full of cruelty and sadness. The master was humiliated, which was the servant's incompetence. Concubine Xian took advantage of the death of the Seventh Prince to add insult to injury, and she could even say it was so hot so openly.

Su Lian took a deep breath and said, "Madam Xianpin, please don't let the servants do it. It will be embarrassing for everyone."

Ruyi immediately became angry. The queen was about to die, yet she was still being used to establish her authority at this time.

However, she couldn't help but give the queen some face.

After all, she was the queen, a dying queen, but still a queen.

Ruyi puffed up her cheeks and held the soup bowl with one hand. It was so hot that she immediately wanted to let go of her hand, but Ruyi held back.

She drank it with a resolute attitude, using the hatred that had long dried up in her heart and accumulated over the years.

So hot.

it hurts.

Her tongue was as nimble as a mountain monkey's. It was so hot that it became stiff. She tried desperately to retract it back into her throat to avoid the boiling magma.

Considering this as the final gift for the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, she could only humiliate Ruyi and make her suffer physical pain.

Ruyi drank the soup in the bowl in one gulp. As the hot soup flowed into her throat, her tears also flowed down her pretty face.

With her unyielding faith.

"Is the Queen satisfied with this?" Ruyi said coldly.

Su Lian glanced at the empty bowl, and then took a deep look at the gorgeously dressed Concubine Xian, "Save the remaining tonic soup for Concubine Xian. After all, this item is rare in the Yikun Palace."

Su Lian took her people away, and Ruyi then covered her throat in pain. The scalding hot soup burned her, and every word she spoke was extremely painful.

Ruyi could only try her best to convince herself that she was using this bowl of soup to send the queen off to her final resting place. However, the self-brainwashing that had worked so well in the past was no longer effective. Ruyi half woke up from the beautiful dream she had woven for herself, and used daydreams to get rid of half of her bad emotions. The remaining half... could only be digested by herself.

Ruyi waited for a while before releasing the hand that was covering her throat. She stood up and threw the bowl in front of her out hard. It was not until she heard the crisp sound of shattering that she felt a little relieved.

Ruyi stood up and took two steps forward, pushing the bowl of soup to the ground.

The pheasant chicks rolled out from inside, and the lively little chicks were now turned into pieces of meat.

A loud sound came from Ruyi's throat; she was laughing.

Rong Pei looked at Ruyi worriedly. She was standing behind Concubine Xian and wanted to go forward to support her.

When Rong Pei's hands touched Ruyi's tight sleeves, she felt the abnormal heat on her hands. It was caused by the boiling soup. She felt even more sorry for her master.

With tears in her eyes, she called out with mixed feelings, "My Lady..."

Ruyi slowly turned her head, her eyeballs almost condensed into a black dot, staring at Rong Pei from the corner of her eyes.

How to describe Ruyi at this moment?

It was like a monster covered in human skin that finally stopped disguising itself. Peeling off its exterior revealed maggots wriggling underneath, like a bunch of creatures with blood lines spreading out.

His eyes were filled with resentment and distortion, the result of years of repression that had led to deep hatred.

A strange voice sounded in Rong Pei's ears. It was the change in Concubine Xian's voice caused by the burn on her throat. The hoarse voice said, "Go, find Jiang Yubin quickly."

Rong Pei's heart trembled, and she hurried out to find Doctor Jiang to come and see her master.

She didn't dare to recall the scene she had just seen. It was too strange and too different from her usual master. This was not like the indifferent master in her memory.

Inside the room, Ruyi faced the mess on the floor, and she still felt unhappy.

Ruyi kept all her unhappiness in a jar, locked up with a faint "win", but now she can't feel that she has "won", and jealousy and resentment ignite the thin film that seals the surface of her negative emotions.

What will Ruyi look like when this calmness in her heart burns out?

There was another dull noise coming from the Yikun Palace, as if a table had fallen to the ground.

Then there was the sound of vomiting.

and a hoarse, "Queen!"
