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

"Empress Jia is thoughtful. It is really beneficial to keep someone like you around." Ruyi's cheeks were as white as steamed buns, and the pink was still on them.

He simply described Jin Yuyan's dark thoughts. She looked at Li Yu innocently and signaled to him.

Li Yu understood what he meant, lowered his head, and waited for the emperor's instructions.

"Li Yu, convey the decree to the six palaces. Concubine Jia was insolent, so she will be demoted to Noble Lady Jia. Concubine Ling was pure and kind, so she will be named Concubine Ling. As for Zhenshu, send her back to where she came from. I don't want to see her again." The emperor frowned and lightly decided the outcome of the matter to several people.

Li Yu looked at Concubine Xian in surprise, but seeing that she showed no joy or anger on her face, he didn't say anything.

He turned to look at the emperor, his face twisted in two by a slightly happy smile and disbelief, and asked casually, "Your Majesty, the two princes under Concubine Jia's lap, should..."

The emperor sighed, not wanting his son to be negatively influenced, and only said, "Send him to Xiefang Palace."

Li Yu nodded, "Okay, I'll go and convey the order right away." Then he carefully took two steps backwards, turned around, and strode away as if he couldn't wait any longer.

The emperor saw Li Yu going to convey the imperial edict. He took in all of Li Yu's reactions and felt a little disgusted.

He sneered in his heart and came up with a brilliant idea.

Ruyi held the confession in her hand and walked to the chair opposite the emperor and sat down. "Jin Yuyan and her servant were so cruel that they were punished like this. One was only demoted, and the other was sent back to her mother's family alive."

"It's such a pity for Ruoxin's healthy body."

In a few words, it was like a transaction between ordinary people. One person offered a price in exchange for another person's item.

Whether the price is high or low, you can bargain.

However, the two people who were discussing this were a ruthless emperor and Ruoxin's master. Ruoxin herself was not included, and no one among them really cared about Ruoxin.

The emperor didn't care much about the price paid by a palace maid, but Concubine Xian, as惢心's master, wanted to maximize the value of this object.

Make the best use of everything.

Not getting the desired result, Ruyi sat down angrily, the pendant of her hairpin still dangling beside her face, and the pearl tassel on the other side also swayed, showing the owner's inner anger.

The emperor knew that she was unhappy, so he comforted her, "Ruyi, I know that Suo Xin has been wronged, but I am doing this just to clear your name. I don't want you to suffer any criticism."

"Zhenshu is from the Yu clan, so I can't execute her immediately, so I'll send her back. As for Concubine Jia, she's still pregnant, and I can't help but consider the prince in her belly."

Ruyi nodded stubbornly, "Yes. I know."

The emperor stood up and took her hand. The two stood facing each other. Ruyi said suddenly with dazzling nobility, "It's just that I think that the emperor is the emperor. If the emperor trusts me deeply, then the rumors in the world will not be enough to shake me in the slightest."

"Your Majesty's actions this time are said to let the harem know that I am innocent, but it is better to say that you want to make yourself believe it." Ruyi said to the emperor earnestly, with a clear-headed look that sees through everything.

There are few people in the world who are as insightful as her.

"Your Majesty would rather let惢心's limbs and internal organs be damaged in exchange for his own peace of mind and others' trust in my good reputation, so that Your Majesty's reputation remains spotless." Ruyi patiently advised the emperor not to be so narrow-minded.

The emperor's eyes were slightly red. The comments and support from others touched upon the scars of his childhood and past. He sighed and said somewhat dejectedly, "I just want others to agree with me."

The emperor did not want to talk about the old wound in his heart, so he changed the subject and said,

"Ruyi, I am not a tyrant. It is impossible for you to do anything just because I trust you. If everyone follows my example, how will the Queen manage the harem for me?"

"Ruyi, you are too soft and will only be trapped in the stigma. I do this for your own good, you can't blame me for it anymore." The emperor put his hands on her shoulders, looked at Ruyi's beautiful face, and gazed at her affectionately.

Ruyi lowered her head and looked at her robe. Today she was wearing a dark blue open-collared robe embroidered with dark peony patterns.

Concubines can only use peonies, not peonies. The emperor must always keep the queen in mind, not just her.

She could no longer act arbitrarily and had to abide by the rules of a concubine.

Ruyi was determined to be a cold and icy concubine who only knew the rules. She nodded and said angrily, "I know I am wrong."

When the emperor heard this, two ice cubes popped out of her mouth and bounced onto his face, causing his burning tenderness to be hit by the ice cubes, which made him feel a little cold and a little bit cooled.

He was speechless. He took back his hand that was caressing Ruyi's shoulder and sat back on the couch. "Forget it. One day you will understand."

Ruyi stood there stubbornly, like a blue bamboo, and she said, "Your Majesty, Suo Xin has suffered a lot, and I want to find a good family for her. Jiang Yubin from the Imperial Hospital once asked me to marry her, and his feelings did not change after Suo Xin was hurt. Please help me, Your Majesty."

"惢心's loyalty is commendable. I can marry her to a royal guard. The imperial physician doesn't have a better future and is of no help to惢心." The emperor said easily.

Ruyi thought that no matter how good a guard was, he had to have feelings for惢心 to be useful.

Wasn't it Guard Jiang who was at the gate of Yikun Palace in the past who had a crush on Suo Xin? In the past few days, Suo Xin was injured, and Ling Yunche, who was not very familiar with her, sent Suo Xin back to Yikun Palace, but Guard Jiang never showed up.

Ruyi sneered in her heart. She thought that if Suo Xin married someone who only cared about the future and not the feelings, she would not be happy.

She nodded her head and refused, "Jiang Yebin and惢心 love each other, and惢心 should be willing too."

The emperor nodded, but said nothing.

Ruyi originally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and ask the emperor to approve of the relationship between惢心 and Jiang Yebi, but the emperor's silence made her confused.

She sighed in her heart and could only let the two of them wait a little longer. She would find a good time to propose marriage for the two of them.

Jin Yuyan's matter was temporarily resolved, but Ruyi thought about Wei Yanwan getting a good deal for nothing, and felt unhappy, so she said,

"Concubine Ling was just made a concubine two days ago, and today she was made a concubine again. She has not even given birth to a child yet. The emperor dotes on Concubine Ling so much, I am afraid that the harem will be dissatisfied."

"Yan Wan is young, and others may be jealous of her. I will tell the Queen not to allow jealousy in the harem." The Emperor smiled faintly at her, thinking that she was worried about Yan Wan.

"You were caught up in suspicion a few days ago, but Concubine Ling is kind-hearted and came to me to plead for you. This timely help is very precious." The emperor said to Ruyi with a smile on his face.

The emperor had already said this, and no matter how reluctant Ruyi was, she had no choice but to accept it.

She forced a smile and said, "Then I should go and thank Concubine Ling."

Ruyi said the two words "Empress Ling" with gritted teeth and full of meaning.
