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

Ruyi glanced at the box on the table, her tone still carrying a bit of childish innocence, and asked knowingly, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

The emperor took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and opened the box, still avoiding his gaze and not looking at the contents of the box, "I don't even want to look at these items."

"So these days, Li Yu was asked to put it in this box and then lock it in the Yangxin Palace." The emperor turned the jade ring on his thumb.

Ruyi's eyes moved slightly, and she looked carefully at the emperor's expression. Seeing that he looked much softer, she thought about how to prove herself.

"I'll hold a banquet at Chonghua Palace at noon. When you sent this white jade frost cake, I knew you had something to say." The emperor looked up at Ruyi and said sincerely, "Don't worry."

Ruyi's face was moved, her eyes sparkled, her white and bright eyes looked straight at the emperor, her tone was gentle and full of nostalgia, "I like your Majesty to say three words the most."

"Don't worry." Ruyi uttered these three words from her cherry lips.

The emperor's eyes flickered, and he was also a little moved. He held Ruyi's hand and said, "I know."

This was the first contact between the two recently.

The emperor was in his prime, his palms were broad and warm. He held Ruyi's plump jade hands, and the cold armor on them was warmed by the emperor's hot palms.

These days, she was surrounded by maids instead of the people she was familiar with before. Although it was summer, she felt cold all over.

The emperor held her hand at this moment, warming her cold heart caused by false accusations.

Such a burning love, yet long-lasting, has been flowing for more than ten years, and their hearts have never changed.

"Your Majesty still remembers." Ruyi smiled. When the emperor said this to her, she knew that she had the most precious thing, the emperor's love.

Hearing these words again now shows that the love from the past is still there, and the affair can definitely be overturned.

"I will check everything inside carefully." The emperor said to her with a soothing tone.

Ruyi opened her little hand lightly, picked up the red plum gold paper with her index finger and thumb, held the folded gold paper with her middle finger, and showed it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, although this red plum gold paper is only provided by the Yikun Palace, it is not something that others cannot obtain. If I wanted to conceal my identity, I should have chosen more ordinary paper and should not have mentioned惢心's name, otherwise it would be deliberate."

At this moment, Ruyi's lips and teeth suddenly lost their previous stiffness. She took the trouble to bring the emperor here just to get rid of her current predicament.

She had to save herself.

Ruyi told the story slowly, threw the letter on the table, and rubbed her fingers that had just touched each other with disgust. She showed her sincerity and moved people with her emotions, "Your Majesty, I have never seen this seven-treasure bracelet before."

"I don't know where this thing came from, and why it became a token of love between me and the master." When she spoke to the point where her emotions became a little intense, Ruyi stretched her neck forward, trying to make the emperor believe her more.

Although this posture is not beautiful enough, it has a unique sense of lazy freedom.

Ruyi tilted her head slightly and looked at the emperor.

The emperor sighed, "I have sent people to inquire about the master's whereabouts that night. He said that he had been meditating on the second floor of Anhua Palace, but no one could prove it. Instead, many palace servants reported that they had personally witnessed Concubine Xian and the master talking privately and behaving intimately."

The tenderness on Ruyi's face tightened.

It is reasonable and emotional to be a little impatient at this time, so that it will be more realistic.

She said a little anxiously, "Your Majesty, I was ordered to pray for the war. In order to show my sincerity, I did everything myself and never asked others to do it."

"I am only concerned about His Majesty and the Qing Dynasty, and have no personal thoughts involved. Moreover, the reason why you were implicated was because the assassin from Yikun Palace wore a white robe, but this white robe is easily available, and it is not just you who can wear it."

Ruyi's analysis was well-reasoned and after hearing such careful words, Li Yu smiled slightly and agreed very much.

But no one was puzzled. Since there were such words of defense, why didn't they say it when the emperor, the empress and Concubine Jia asked the question together?

If it was said immediately, the nature of the matter would be changed from "Noble Concubine Xian and Master Anji had an affair" to "Someone framed Noble Concubine Xian and Master Anji for having an affair."

Then the people who should be interrogated in the Ministry of Punishment should not be惢心, who was framed and close to Concubine Xian, but those who said they witnessed Concubine Xian's affair with their own eyes.

But it's also true that Concubine Xian is busy with her work and her mind is filled with aloofness. If she wants to come down to the mortal world and talk to a bunch of people with dirty minds, she needs to adapt to the rules of the world for a few days.

I think that these few sentences would require the extremely intelligent master Xian to ponder over them repeatedly, think carefully, and spend several days to fill in the gaps.

This is in line with her characteristic of being silent but making a big splash when she does.

Just by looking at Li Yu's happy and agreeable smile, we can tell that he believes in the queen's wisdom.惢心 and Jiang Yubin also believed in this before.

"Ruyi, you know that even if it is just groundless speculation, it is still a stain on you. The master is a Buddhist and is not tainted by the secular world. He must not leave the palace with such disgraceful suspicion. Otherwise, if the world knows about it, it will be detrimental to both him and you." The emperor explained.

Ruyi looked at the emperor and slightly frowned her thin, long, dark brown eyebrows. "What about惢心? If the emperor proves that the concubine and the master are innocent, then惢心 is suffering so much, isn't it pitiful?"

A smile suddenly appeared on the emperor's white jade-like face, and he said, "Don't worry."

The emperor viewed his slaves as nothing more than replaceable objects, and the concubines in the harem were just more exquisite decorations to him.

But Ruyi is a little different. She doesn't want to give up easily. So, weighing Concubine Xian and惢心,惢心 is not important.

Even if torturing惢心 would hurt Concubine Xian's heart, it doesn't matter.

The emperor could not tolerate his woman being trapped in such an affair, so it was reasonable for him to exchange a palace maid for the concubine's innocence.

The emperor was handsome and elegant, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, thin and scarlet lips, and a jawline that revealed his masculine toughness.

He is the most exquisite creation bestowed by God on the world, and he is the Lord of Kunlun who possesses all power.

He smiled indifferently, and his beautiful eyes looked at people with a bit of affection.

He said, "Suo Xin will be fine."

"I tortured her just to tell the harem that you are innocent."

"Your Majesty, why did you torture惢心? Then I am innocent?" Ruyi raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with confusion.

"Suo Xin is your personal maid. I tortured her to show everyone that you have never done such a thing." The emperor explained patiently.

"Suo Xin has been tortured, but she still insists on her innocence and has not changed her words. Only then can your innocence be believed."
