Ruyi responded respectfully and did not dare to talk back.

Jingse looked at her cowardly appearance and felt even more disdainful in her heart, "You talked back to the Empress Dowager, so I will punish you. Are you satisfied?"

Ruyi raised her head, her eyes calm, she just looked at Jingse's face lightly, her tone sincere and respectful, "Princess Gulun and Princess Jing are right."

"That's more like it." Jingse pulled up the corner of his mouth and smiled, then left with a group of people without looking back.

The two maids loosened their grip on Suo Xin, and Suo Xin hurried back to the house, still shouting, "Master, are you okay?"

Ruyi had been kneeling for a long time and her knees were stiff.惢心 hurriedly helped her up. As luck would have it, Ruyi was pressing on惢心's injured arm.

Suoxin only felt a numbness and her arm was somewhat numb. She helped the man onto the couch and gently touched him with her hand. The outer cloth was a little wet again.

惢心 felt a little regretful. This was the bandage Jiang Yubin had just bandaged for her this morning. It was probably unusable now. It would take at least three months for her to see it again.

Ruyi stroked her aching knees and said, "惢心, go and boil some hot water." She looked at the chaotic palace and smiled helplessly at惢心, "Let's clean it up later."

惢心 nodded, thinking that Ruyi was bullied again today, she smiled bitterly and replied, "Yes."

*Jingse just went out and happened to see Yanwan walking away in a hurry.

"Lady Ling?" Jingse called out to her. Yanwan quickly moved but stopped. She froze in place, brainstorming quickly, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation.

Yan Wan had just received the news and originally came to peek at Ruyi being under house arrest and gloat over her misfortune, but she unexpectedly heard a bang in the distance and then saw Jingse rushing in.

She was really curious, so she hid behind a tree and stuck her head out to spy. If she got too close, she would be discovered by the guards, which would be a big problem. So she just watched from a distance. Although she couldn't see clearly, she could guess a thing or two from the movements of the people coming and going.

After a while, Jingse should have finished teaching a lesson, and a group of people came out again. When Yanwan saw them, she hurriedly walked away.

She had dealt with Princess He Jing before, but at that time the princess already had a child, the empress was not around, and she had been married to Khorchin for many years before returning to the palace, so her sharpness had faded a little.

She tried her best to please the princess and even risked her life to save the princess's son before the princess looked at her more favorably.

Now Jingse is doing well, her brother and mother are in good health, and she is loved by the emperor so she can stay in Beijing. Her husband also respects and cherishes her. She has a bright future ahead of her. She is a favored daughter of heaven all her life.

I’m afraid that he is even more arrogant than before, and is far more difficult to deal with than when I returned to the palace in my previous life.

Yan Wan was afraid of running into Jingse head-on. If she was scolded by the ill-intentioned princess without saying a word, she would have no place to cry.

It's no use going to the emperor, because he loves Jingse like crazy. Going to Jinzhong, what if Jinzhong gets beaten by Jingse?

She thought about hiding, but was stopped by the main person. Yan Wan sighed, turned around and looked at Jing Se, "Your servant, the noble lady Ling, pays respects to Her Royal Highness Princess Gulun Hejing."

Jingse saw her cautious look, thinking of the fact that the Empress Dowager was unhappy a few days ago, and Concubine Ling often came to accompany her. At that time, there was a smallpox epidemic, and Yanwan was still worried about the health of her mother and brother, so she went to Changchun Palace to remind them.

In his heart, he had a little appreciation for Yan Wan. He appreciated her ability to judge the situation, know who was the master of the harem, and serve the Empress Dowager diligently.

I just saw Yanwan sneaking around Ruyi's residence, and it seemed like something was wrong with her. Could it be that she was worried about Concubine Xian?

Thinking of this, Jingse asked her, "Are you going to see Concubine Xian, Lady Ling?"

Yan Wan shook her head, lowered her tone, and said carefully, "I have absolutely no such thoughts."

She turned her head to look at the door at the entrance of Ruyi Palace. It was already cracked and tattered. Half of it had been kicked into pieces, and the connecting part had fallen off a little. Now it couldn't be closed tightly.

Even a three-year-old child can push open a half-open door like this easily without any restrictions.

But this door that no one could get through now locked a noble concubine tightly, preventing her from taking even a single step out.

"I just heard that Concubine Xian was under house arrest, so I went for a walk." Yan Wan smiled, as if she was just appreciating the beauty and not trying to laugh at anyone or anything.

Jingse smiled, sensing the meaning of the discord between Yanwan and Ruyi. Based on her dislike for Ruyi, she began to have a little more favorable impression of Yanwan.

Although it was not enough for her to look the concubine in the eye, she was at least a man who knew the current situation and was much better than those wooden clappers who could only irritate the Empress Dowager.

She took a look at Yan Wan's outfit, which was fresh and elegant, not extravagant. It seemed that she had been taught by the empress to be frugal. She spoke with a little appreciation: "Serve the Empress well, and you will be rewarded."

Then he led the people around him away without giving Yan Wan a chance to speak.

Yan Wan bowed again and saw Jingse off, feeling relieved. She was really afraid that Jingse would not be satisfied after beating Ruyi, and would beat anyone he saw when he left the house.

Even though she was like this, Yan Wan didn't find it strange. It just hurts to be beaten, so it's better to avoid being beaten if possible.

Yan Wan clenched her fist and waved it in the air, "Bad Ruyi, I'll beat you to death." Then she hurried back to her own place. If she continued to hang around here, she might run into someone else.

The broken temple door stands here alone. The sun has set, leaving only the cold moonlight shining on the roof, conveying a sense of loneliness and decay.

I don’t know how long this quiet and cold time will last. The moon is rising above my eyebrows, and the guards on duty at the door have been replaced by a shift, leaving only a few scattered people guarding nearby.

But no one had repaired this door. It was left broken and there was something awkward about it.

Jiang Fu was on duty again today, and was transferred to the gate of Ruyi's palace. Only he and Ling Yunche were guarding the main gate of the palace. There were two more people in the corner farther away, but they were both very idle.

He was thinking of standing guard more often in the hope that one day he would be appreciated by a master like Guard Ling, and would mention him to the emperor. Then he could be promoted and get more salary.

But Guard Ling was not originally from this group, so why was he transferred here? Could it be that he wanted to be more appreciated by the emperor? Jiang Fu only stared at the dust on the ground in front of him, thinking randomly.

That guard Ling is really greedy.

I don’t know when Eunuch Jinzhong will tell him to do anything again.

Ever since he had a few words with his father-in-law last time, Jiang Fu had been thinking every day about when Jinzhong would give him another task so that he could build a good relationship with him.

I heard that Eunuch Jinzhong was appreciated by Noble Lady Ling. If he could say a few words to Noble Lady Ling and she would praise him to the Emperor, then his promotion would be just around the corner.

Jiang Fu stood straight with full of expectations, full of energy and spirit, and even became more motivated to work overtime.
