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

Jin Yuyan could tell from Bai Ruiji's behavior tonight that she already knew the truth of what happened back then.

When Bai Ruiji was pregnant for the first time, Jin Yuyan urged Concubine Chun to recall what kind of food would be good for the child. Concubine Chun thought for a long time and said fish and shrimp. So Bai Ruiji ate more fish and shrimp.

Jin Yuyan used the names of Consort Huixian Gao Xiyue and Empress Xiaoxian Langya to mix cinnabar into fish and shrimp, causing Bai Ruiji's child to become deformed.

That was Bai Ruiji's first child. She had been thinking about him for more than ten years and only wanted to avenge her poor child.

Jin Yuyan just looked at her coldly, and then said, "Princess Mei is really bad-tempered. She kept it to herself and pretended to be crazy and stupid for so many years. She really fooled me!"

Bai Ruiji ignored Jin Yuyan's words. She just said to herself, "I was so sad at that time."

She sighed, stroked her face and said, "At that time, I heard that fish and shrimp are good for children, so I ate them as much as I could, just to make my child smart and strong."

She suddenly laughed twice, and said with a mixture of joy and sadness, "But it was because of my deep love for my son that my poor child was harmed. He has never seen the sun in this world."

"You watched me take revenge on this and that like a fool, but you never thought that my good sister was the murderer. Were you very happy at that time?" Bai Ruiji said with a smile.

"Your child can still take the title of the Tenth Prince, but my child has been forgotten, and the Imperial Edict does not even record him. It's as if he never existed."

"I'm the only one who remembers."

Bai Ruiji sighed softly, then smiled and said, "But starting today, you have to remember this. The longer I feel pain, the more pain you have to endure."

Bai Ruiji came closer, raised her white wrist, and placed the long and sharp armor on Jin Yuyan's jade-like face, saying, "Sister Yuyan, I called you sister in vain. For so many years, you killed my child and deliberately led me to take revenge on innocent people. How cruel is your heart."

"I, your sister, have only learned a few basic things from your teachings. Now these are just interest." Bai Ruiji used her hands to pinch Jin Yuyan's chin and said, "Sister Yuyan, from today on, the golden medal of immunity from death in your belly is gone."

Bai Ruiji suddenly chuckled twice, and touched Jin Yuyan's pale lips with her index finger. These lips were the fullest and sharpest, and they could always confuse people with just a few words. Wasn't she defeated by this in the past?

"Sister Yuyan, your good days are coming." Bai Ruiji gently stroked her face, then poked her nails into Jin Yuyan's throat without using any force, and turned and left.

She laughed so hard that tears welled up in her eyes, and she said, "It's really--"

"Tit for tat."

Bai Ruiji was in a really good mood. She was about to go back to Yonghe Palace to play a song to congratulate Concubine Jin.

A gentleman's revenge is never too late.

She is not a gentleman, and she has waited for more than ten years.

The night sky of the Forbidden City was filled with sounds that sounded like the cries of wronged souls and music that seemed to be filled with the atmosphere of war. Bai Ruiji simply closed her eyes, her ten fingers jumping quickly on the pipa. The clanging music contained her hatred and joy.

After a long time, she opened her eyes, and her face was covered with tears.

Just as she was about to return to the palace to rest, Bai Ruiji turned around and saw Yongqi standing not far behind her with a cloak in his hand. He didn't know how long he had been standing there.

"Yongqi." Bai Ruiji hurriedly wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief. She couldn't let the children see such an embarrassing appearance.

Yongqi seemed not to notice and just said, "It's cold in April, and mother was still outside at night. You are weak to begin with. Although the medicine prescribed by Doctor Jiang is effective, you can't be so exhausted."

Bai Ruiji smiled gently and said, "Mother will go back now." She turned her head to look at Suyun and handed the pipa to her.

Then she turned around and took the cloak from Yongqi and put it on. She was unwilling to waste any of the child's kindness to her, even though they were only a few steps away from entering the hall.

Bai Ruiji took Yongqi's hand, and the two went back to the palace.

"Your hands are so cold, how long have you been waiting outside? Just call mom next time."

"I don't want to disturb you, but you sound so good when you play the pipa."

"If Yongqi likes it, Mother will teach you another day."

The Yonghe Palace was filled with warmth, but the Qixiang Palace on the other side was not so happy. Everyone in the palace was sad. Li Xin didn't know what Concubine Mei said, so she could only stay by her master's side and persuade her over and over again.

Jin Yuyan's eyes were filled with tears, and drops of water ran out of her eye sockets and dripped into her hair.

She closed her eyes tiredly and just said, "I'm tired, you all go down."

Jin Yuyan loves children. When the Ninth Prince passed away, she was depressed for half a year before she recovered. Now another child is gone.

The devastating blow of losing two children in a row to safe births had numbed her heart. After she calmed down a little, she was then greeted with immense sorrow.

Does the emperor know?

Would the Emperor be sad when he knew that their Tenth Prince had passed away?

This was the only thought in Jin Yuyan's mind before she fell asleep.

* The next morning, Yuanmingyuan

The emperor was trying hard to suppress his joy as he looked at Wang Fuzhi, whose hair was neatly combed on one side of her forehead.

She was wearing a turquoise shirt today with many light purple flowers embroidered in the middle, intentionally imitating the green plums in the emperor's memory.

Wang Fuzhi smiled gently at the emperor, then carefully poured wine for him and served him.

At this time, Jinbao looked a little uneasy, and then he quietly moved closer and reported in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Jin Changzai from Qixiang Palace gave birth to a little prince last night, but..."

"The young prince was born with congenital deficiencies and has passed away." Jinbao's face was filled with sadness. Such a cruel thing must have made the emperor very sad.

The emperor had no expression on his face, he just nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."

Jinbao knew that the emperor was feeling upset and couldn't tell others about it, so he went back to wait for instructions. He saw that the emperor no longer had a smile on his face and just kept drinking cup after cup.

The loneliness between the emperor's eyebrows was enough to show his pain.

Alas, why is God so unfair? Their emperor is such a good man, why does he always hurt him again and again!

Jin Bao really wanted to cry out to God. He really wanted to ask why God had given our emperor a perfect appearance and a perfect situation, but refused to let him enjoy the happiness of family.
