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

* Longevity Festival

Today is the emperor's birthday. Langya, feeling sad about the emperor's moral failure, specially prepared a complicated and grand celebration for this year's birthday.

All matters were done to make the emperor feel comfortable and happy as much as possible, and many concubines contributed some novel ideas for this purpose.

Everyone hopes that the emperor will live a long and healthy life after celebrating his birthday.

* Hall of Mental Cultivation

The emperor was lying on the couch, still replaying in his mind the scene of Ruyi's hand overlapping the master's hand. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

He wondered if he was too lenient with Ruyi, which led to her being unrestrained in the palace and causing the current situation.

Just when he was feeling bored, Li Yu led Jinzhong, Jinbao and a group of young eunuchs in, carrying the emperor's clothes, shoes and socks.

"Your Majesty, it's time to change clothes." Li Yu said to the emperor. It was almost time for the Emperor's birthday banquet to begin.

The emperor looked disappointed and allowed everyone to serve him.

"Did Suoxin confess?" Jinzhong was unbuttoning the emperor's clothes when he suddenly heard these words. He turned to look at Li Yu.

Li Yu's eyes widened, he seemed a little strange, and his lips were trembling slightly.

Are you feeling sorry for惢心?

Jinzhong muttered to himself, and seeing that Li Yu had no intention of replying, he said, "To answer the emperor, Miss Suo Xin has been tortured, but she still has not changed her words and insists that Concubine Xian is innocent."

The emperor still didn't react. Jinzhong was afraid that Li Yu would come out to cause trouble, so he added, "The guards on duty that night saw the assassin dressed as the master near the Yikun Palace. Now the only one who can prove the innocence of the queen is Suo Xin."

"Then continue with the torture." The emperor only said this, and Li Yu was so frightened that his busy hands stopped.

Li Yu looked at the emperor's face, then lowered his eyes and continued to work. His face turned pale and he looked very frustrated.

After changing clothes, the young eunuchs sent out the changed clothes and belongings, and left Jinzhong, Jinbao and Li Yu to serve by the side.

Jinzhong glanced at Li Yu in confusion. Logically, he should have pleaded for惢心 at this time, but why was he so dejected, as if he had accepted his fate?

Tsk. It's really not as good as our feelings towards Master Ling.

Jinzhong compared Li Yu's feelings for惢心 and felt that he had won.

Li Yu was waiting on the side, his body standing there with a whisk in his hand, but his mind was flying away.

His mind was filled with the words Jiang Yubin had scolded him the afternoon before yesterday, "Are you worthy of liking惢心?"

*The afternoon before yesterday

Li Yu was standing guard outside the Yangxin Palace when suddenly a familiar-looking guard trotted over, quietly approached him, and said, "Eunuch Li, Imperial Physician Jiang Yubin wants to see you."

Li Yu didn't know who this person was. He just remembered that he seemed to be on duty in different places often. He believed it a little bit in his heart, and it should not be a conspiracy.

But he was still worried that if the emperor suddenly gave an order, he would not be there.

Jinzhong happened to pass by at this time. Seeing his hesitation and the guard standing next to him, he suppressed a smile and said to him, "Master, if you have something to do, please go first. I will watch over you."

Li Yu nodded. Jinzhong was his apprentice. He was always diligent and never made any mistakes. He just paid special attention to the emperor's preferences. However, it was normal for a servant to care about his master.

Thinking that there shouldn't be any problem if he watched for a while, Li Yu hurriedly left with the guard.

After many twists and turns, they arrived at a secluded place. The familiar guard in front stopped and said to Li Yu, "Eunuch Li, Imperial Doctor Jiang is waiting in front. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, by the way, thank you very much. What's your name?" Li Yu asked him.

The man bowed respectfully, as if he respected him very much, and answered politely, "Your humble servant, Jiang Fu."

Li Yu nodded and walked forward. Jiang Fu sent the message at this time, and he also remembered the help from the other party.

Jiang Yubin looked a little abnormal, holding a handkerchief to his forehead, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was staring blankly into the distance.

"Jiang Yubin? What do you want from me?" Li Yu asked.

Jiang Yubin came back to his senses, with the handkerchief still covering his head. He turned his head blankly, as if a soul had suddenly been injected into a piece of wood, and his head seemed to be rusted.

He said, "Did you know that Suo Xin was in the Ministry of Punishment?"

Li Yu avoided his gaze. He had known about this for a long time. When the emperor ordered Jinzhong to send惢心 to the Ministry of Punishment, he was beside him.

"know."

"Ha." Jiang Yubin suddenly shouted, "You know, did you do anything? Did you inform the people in the Ministry of Punishment, at least to ask them not to punish Suo Xin too harshly?"

"The emperor is suspicious in his heart and will definitely not let me bring惢心 to the Ministry of Punishment..." Li Yu's eyes were a little evasive. He did not dare to look at Jiang Yubin's angry and resolute eyes.

"Eunuch Li Yu, the one who escorted Suo Xin was Jin Zhong. Isn't Jin Zhong your disciple? Why? Is it so reluctant to inform your own disciple and make a little concession to save your beloved?"

Jiang Yebin took a step forward, his chest heaving violently. He couldn't control his emotions well because of his anger. If it weren't for his self-control, he would have really cursed at this moment.

“But惢心 went to the Ministry of Punishment to protect Concubine Xian’s innocence. If she is not punished, I’m afraid she won’t be able to prove it.” Li Yu’s face became more and more painful. He had惢心 in his heart, and he also knew that Concubine Xian was innocent.

He deeply understood惢心's loyalty, so惢心 entered the Ministry of Punishment, all for Master Xian. Isn't he sad? He was also very tormented in his heart!

Jiang Yubin laughed loudly and then said,

"For Concubine Xian's innocence? If Concubine Xian had been obedient, why would Suo Xin have been tortured by others for so many years? It would have been fine if she didn't have enough food to eat and clothes to wear every day."

"In the past, I lived in the cold palace, there were snakes, and I was poisoned. I had to do rough work every day to help Concubine Xian water the flowers. Then, because Concubine Xian provoked me, Suo Xin was beaten with a whisk mixed with iron wire, and her arm almost had a scar."

"She is a girl. If she is left with a scar, will she be sad? Will she feel inferior?"

"And now Imperial Concubine Xian is not a good wife, and she keeps meeting with the Master all the time, causing others to plot against her, and Suo Xin is now incarcerated in the Ministry of Punishment."

Jiang Yubin acted like a madman, taking a step forward every time he spoke. He took off the handkerchief in his hand because of excitement, revealing his forehead covered with medicine powder.

There was a round purple-red wound on the top of his forehead, which was very fresh and slightly bleeding, as if it was caused by kowtow.

"Do you know what your most loyal Concubine Xian and her good sister Concubine Yu said?" Jiang Yubin forced Li Yu into a corner.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "Empress Yu said, '惢心 went to prove her sister's innocence, so she can't plead for惢心.' Even if I bang my head against it, this is the only answer I can get!"

"They don't care about her health or her life or death. Don't you care either?" Jiang Yubin questioned Li Yu.
