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

The emperor mentioned it. Jinzhong sensed the emperor's thoughts and said that Concubine Xian had lost weight in recent days, and he was afraid that it was because the emperor's punishment had not stopped and he was feeling panic.

The emperor was upset, his brows were furrowed. He rubbed his eyebrows, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Jinzhong asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, it's almost noon now, do you want to go out and relax?"

noon?

Ruyi was punished at noon every day, having to go to the outside of Yuanxi Palace under the scorching sun and then come back under the scorching sun.

The emperor sighed and said, "Yes, let's go out for a walk."

He did not ride in the sedan chair in order to empathize with the punishment that Ruyi suffered every day. The midday sun was really dazzling, and it was only mid-March, so the emperor could hardly open his eyes.

But Ruyi has to suffer like this every day.

The emperor was a strange and mean person. Ruyi had never flattered him much. Instead, she often questioned him, making him feel choked. But he could not help but think of her, feel pity for her, and could not help wanting to protect her.

Even though the affection between them as childhood sweethearts had been worn away, the emperor still naturally had kindness and compassion in his heart.

How rare it is that the ruler who holds the power of life and death over all his subjects would show pity to a weak woman who often treats him coldly.

How is this not love?

However, seeing these two people being so affectionate and ambiguous, the emperor personally felt Ruyi's pain, and the pity that just rose in his heart was like a hard slap in his face.

He took a breath, sneered, and said, "Okay, that's really good."

Jinzhong said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, please don't get so angry about something that goes against the rules that you get yourself in trouble."

The emperor slowly closed his eyes, the anger on his face had solidified. If Jinzhong hadn't known that the emperor's life span was much longer than that of Lord Ling and that he was in good health, he would have thought that he was going to pass out from anger.

Fortunately, the emperor is in good health.

He suddenly shouted, "How dare you!"

The roar made Jinzhong's ears hurt. He rolled his eyes to glance at the emperor, then stared at the ground expressionlessly, holding back his speechlessness.

The emperor strode towards the group of people opposite.

He was standing behind a bush just now, and because he wanted to take a look at Ruyi secretly, he only brought Jinzhong with him. Ruyi and the maids didn't see the emperor at first, so when they suddenly heard a loud shout, they were naturally startled.

Ruyi turned her head, tears still on her face. She was extremely angry that Ling Yunche actually said all these bad things about her in front of her.

What do those heartfelt words at the beginning mean?

Ruyi asked herself, "Isn't it enough that I treated Ling Yunche well, never bullied him, and even promoted him?"

Why did Ling Yunche misunderstand her so much, and why was this misunderstanding so deep?

But before Ruyi could grieve over the departure of her confidant, she heard the young man she had been thinking about utter two cold words beside her, "Bold."

Ruyi frowned and looked at the emperor sadly.

Does the emperor know how sad she is?

Ling Yunche had not yet woken up from his hallucination, so he was still smiling foolishly, and weakly muttered, "It's all... Concubine Xian's fault!"

The emperor only saw Ruyi crying to Guard Ling, who was also moved and still called out, "Princess Xian."

He approached the crowd. The maids were already kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear.

They suddenly discovered such a secret, and it was something that made the emperor lose face. It was not just that they did not drive away Guard Ling and allowed a guard to get close to the emperor's concubines, but also that this incident happened too quickly and was too unbelievable?

Why?

Is there any private affair between you that cannot be kept secret from others? Why must it be displayed in public like this, and must everyone who sees it be silenced by the emperor?

The leading maid lowered her head, feeling very depressed. She had been in the palace for thirty years, and today she was going to die because of Concubine Xian's affair with a guard.

Damn it, it wasn't that she discovered such a dirty thing. She was just walking along when suddenly a shocking event flew in her face. Suddenly the emperor was watching next to her, and suddenly all of them, the maids, were going to be silenced.

Ruyi felt sad. She raised her chin and looked to the side. She stubbornly wiped her tears from bottom to top with her ring finger, spreading the tears evenly on her face. Her slender armor almost pierced her eyes.

The emperor took a step forward and looked at his childhood sweetheart with a sneer. His tone suddenly became more intimate, evoking the name he hadn't mentioned for many years. He said, "Qingying."

Ruyi turned her head, her face was completely wet. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, her tongue pressed against her lower teeth. With a bit of grievance and crying, she said, "Your Majesty..."

Ruyi wanted to say a lot of things at once. She wanted to say that the emperor finally mentioned her maiden name after so many years, she wanted to say that the emperor still remembered her name, and she also wanted to say why the emperor suddenly wanted to come here for a visit.

Her mind was completely filled with the emperor who was at odds with her, and who was willing to personally bring the steps for her to descend.

After losing Ling Yunche, the spiritual comfort that the emperor provided when he was away, the unique friendship of this young man became more and more important to Ruyi's heart.

The emperor was like an iron sculpture. He suddenly regained his expressionless look, then suddenly raised his hand, swung it and hit Ruyi in the face.

Ruyi felt pain, her eyes were closed tightly, and her head tilted to one side under the strong push of the emperor. She opened her mouth, and a piece of tongue fell out from her parted red lips. The soft flesh on her chin was squeezed out of a gap because of fright.

The slap was extremely loud.

Everyone present was shocked. When Ling Yunche saw the corner of the bright yellow clothes, he suddenly came to his senses. Anyway, he was kneeling anyway, so he just knelt obediently facing the emperor.

Yes, his arrogance, resistance, and little tricks of torturing others can only be used on Ruyi, because only a kind and innocent Ruyi can tolerate this, and only she can be like a quail when being ridiculed by the same person again and again, without punishing or reprimanding him.

It was really strange that Ruyi was not angry when Ling Yunche, the man who had received her favor, muttered to her, but was sad and aggrieved. But when she saw the respectful Yan Wan, Ruyi felt disgusted.

We don’t know whether her abundant kindness is only for men, or whether this lively and normal person Yan Wan just doesn’t suit her taste.

When Ling Yunche saw the emperor, he was naturally afraid, because the emperor was not Ruyi.

If I say I will kill you, I will really kill you.

He fell to the ground, his back suddenly soaked with cold sweat.

The emperor frowned and said, "Isn't Guard Ling on duty today? He ran into the harem drunk..."

"Having a secret meeting with my concubine Xian?"
