"The master you swore to protect with your life, even though you have been with her through thick and thin and never enjoyed happiness, she never regarded you as a person of affection and loyalty."

"惢心, don't be too silly. Being too silly will only hurt yourself." Jiang Yebi advised her earnestly, and seeing the struggle on her face, he did not force her anymore.

Just tell her, "If there is any danger, take care of yourself first, okay?"

Suo Xin nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."

*It was getting dark, and the emperor was riding in a sedan chair, just to relax, but he saw many fireflies.

The night sky was dotted with bright stars, which was quite elegant, so he asked where the fireflies came from.

Jinzhong said that it seemed to have flown out from the direction of Yongshou Palace.

The emperor had an idea and the group went to Yongshou Palace.

The door of Yongshou Palace was open, and the emperor could see the rockery and flowing water in the center, with lush green grass beside it and many twinkling fireflies flying around in the sky.

As soon as the emperor came in, Yan Wan went to greet him and said, "Welcome, Your Majesty."

The emperor reached out and pulled her up. Looking at Yan Wan's pretty outfit today and feeling the warmth of the summer breeze, he began to tease her, "It's the late summer and your icy skin is covered with sweat."

After saying this, he hesitated for a moment, as if he felt that it was inappropriate to speak like this with someone beside him, so he added, "The moonlight is floating on the Xiang mat, what a good image."

Yanwan smiled sweetly, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Her eyes were full of joy and infatuated admiration.

The emperor looked at her with appreciation, seeing Yan Wan looking at the sky happily and the fireflies flying around, and asked, "Is this your idea?"

Yan Wan nodded and said with a smile, "The Emperor's birthday is coming soon. I can't match the exquisite gifts of the sisters, so I can only give a thoughtful gift to make the Emperor smile."

"Originally, I wanted Chunchan to invite the emperor, but I didn't expect the emperor to come by himself." Yanwan smiled with her eyes curved, and her white teeth were displayed in front of the emperor.

Jinzhong was standing by and saw Yanwan's happy smile. He thought that Liuying had once again pleased the emperor and smiled with relief.

Look, Concubine Ling is so happy about this little coincidence, and the emperor feels very comfortable.

"It's elegant and graceful, very good. I like it very much." The emperor nodded, Yan Wan took the emperor's arm, and the two of them entered the Yongshou Palace.

*Yikun Palace

"Master, this shirt is so beautiful." Suo Xin praised with admiration.

Ruyi sat upright in front of the dressing table. The shirt she was wearing was newly made by the Imperial Household Department. She thought it was of just the right shade, delicate but not gaudy.

From a distance, the shirt looks like a mixture of brown, yellow and green, with a hint of pink inside, and is embroidered with many chess-like patterns. It is full of luxury.

Looking closely, it is light red with yellow mixed in the gaps. It is embroidered with delicate plaids with withered yellow silk threads and decorated with intricate patterns.

Ruyi looked at惢心 and said, "This is a new dress made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is the emperor's favorite color. It is really beautiful."

As they were talking, Sanbao took the petal water that Ruyi used to wash her hands to deal with it, but he saw a white figure in the Yikun Palace. He was so scared that he shouted, "Who's there?"

After hearing this, the white figure jumped onto the wall and climbed over it and walked away.

Sanbao shouted hurriedly, "There's an assassin! There's an assassin!"

The guards on duty nearby hurriedly chased after the white figure.

Sanbao hurried to report to Concubine Xian, who asked him to report back to the emperor immediately to prevent anyone from plotting an assassination. She also told the emperor to thoroughly investigate the Yiku Palace and the six east and west palaces to prevent the assassin from still being nearby.

Ruyi knew that the guards did not pass through Yikun Palace at this time, but they came so quickly, which made her suspicious.

*The next day, Yikun Palace

Langya, Yanwan, and Bai Ruiji came to Yikun Palace together. Ruyi and Hailan were already sitting inside, and Hailan was comforting her sister.

"The Empress, Concubine Mei, and Concubine Ling have arrived." Zhao Yita reported in advance, and then Langya stepped into the gate of Yikun Palace.

Ruyi and Hailan stood up to pay their respects to the Queen, and everyone bowed.

"Your concubine and sister Meifei went to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. We heard the Empress Dowager say that the Yikun Palace was attacked by an assassin yesterday. She wanted to come and see Concubine Xian, so we came with the Empress Dowager." Yanwan took the initiative to show concern for Ruyi and her words were sincere.

"Is Concubine Xian okay?" The worry on Yan Wan's face didn't seem fake.

With the Queen standing by, Ruyi couldn't deny her face, so she just shook her head and said calmly, "Nothing."

The palace servants of Yikun Palace brought a few chairs for the masters to rest.

Hai Lan looked down on Wei Yanwan's hypocrisy and asked, "If Concubine Ling really cared about my sister, why didn't she come immediately when she found the assassin last night?"

Yan Wan smiled, her face suddenly showing a little more sweetness, "When I heard about this, I was very worried about Concubine Xian, but the Emperor was in Yongshou Palace and would not let me go, fearing that something might happen to me."

"If Concubine Ling went to Yikun Palace, and the assassin disguised himself and got close to Concubine Ling, that would be terrible."

Bai Ruiji looked worried, and advised Hai Lan earnestly, "Concubine Yu, you can't move around at this time. You are not afraid of death, but we are."

Ruyi's face was filled with fear, and her whole body shrank. She did not care about Wei Yanwan's words. The emperor had come to see her early in the morning, and she knew that the emperor had her in his heart.

Hai Lan's words were suddenly blocked, and she felt even more displeased with the sharp-tongued Wei Yanwan and Bai Ruiji.

In the past, Concubine Mei was quite respectful to her sister, but now that she has been with Wei Yanwan for a long time, she has even forgotten the difference between the superior and the inferior.

Langya ignored the little girls and sat in the main seat with a serious look on her face. She just asked Ruyi if she remembered any clues, "How could there be an assassin out of nowhere?"

Seeing that Ruyi’s face was full of fear, it seemed that she had not yet come to her senses.

Langya took a deep breath and asked Sanbao, "Sanbao, did you see the man's appearance clearly?"

Sanbao shook his head and said while thinking, "I didn't see clearly, I just knew that the man was dressed in white, and I only saw his back."

"Oh, by the way, that man seemed to have some kung fu skills. As soon as I shouted, he flew to the eaves of the wall and left." Sanbao hurriedly told every detail he remembered, for fear of missing anything.

"Okay, I understand." Langya had known this for a long time and had ordered people to find someone dressed like this. However, the only person dressed like this in the palace was Master Anji.

She asked Sanbao again, wanting to know if there was anything she had missed.

"Fortunately, no one in the palace is in trouble. As long as everyone in the palace is safe, it's fine." Ruyi said this with a magnanimous and selfless attitude.

Instantly, bursts of light emanated from the depths of her soul, purifying the people sitting nearby.
