Xiyue Rebirth: The Palace Reads My Heart and Treats the Madness of Yi Syndrome

Ruyan was really broken down, just because Wei Yanwan, a palace maid and concubine, had much better food than hers.

Not to mention bird's nest, she had long forgotten what duck meat tasted like.

Recently in the cold palace she has been eating only chili shells, or some winter melon and coix seed soup without any winter melon or coix seeds. It's all just watery soup. Hasn't brother Hongli noticed that she has lost a lot of weight?

No, she couldn't just wait like this, she had to think of a way to remind Brother Hongli that she was still waiting here.

"Your Majesty~~~I know you have been busy with government affairs recently and have been feeling a little unwell, so I specially cooked a little chicken soup to nourish your body!"

Ruyan took the chicken soup from Rongpei's hand calmly, and then motioned Hongli to look at the plate of white jade frost square cake.

"Your Majesty, this is your favorite white jade frost cake..."

"I remember that this white jade frost cake was Concubine Xian's favorite, and it probably hasn't changed until now. How come it has become the emperor's favorite?"

Wei Yanwan's doubtful voice successfully aroused Ruyan's anger.

Why is she everywhere?

How annoying!

"I'm talking to the Emperor, what does this have to do with you?"

Ruyan could no longer pretend. She had never had a good face in front of Wei Yanwan, and even harbored a deep jealousy.

How could such a charming woman be Ling Yunche's first love?

What exactly does Brother Hongli like about her?

Ruyan pouted at Hongli and stamped her feet, "Your Majesty~~~"

"Shut up!"

Hongli waved his hands impatiently, "Ruyan, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. The noble lady Ling is one level higher than you, and you dare to speak wildly to her without respect. You really deserve to be punished! And you are so old, don't act so pretentiously in front of me and offend others!"

Ruyan blinked her innocent eyes. Was it what she thought?

It turned out that Brother Hongli was still as sincere to her as before, and he even said those suggestive words to her in front of others.

It’s really, really embarrassing.

When he comes to summon me, I will surely be able to serve him well.

As soon as Hongli saw Ruyan acting like that again, he knew that she must have been thinking of something wrong again. He felt extremely annoyed just by looking at Ruyan, so how could he possibly pick her card?

"Why are you making chicken soup? Take it away now, I don't want to drink it!"

Ruyan pouted in dissatisfaction, "Your Majesty~~~I just lost my child a few days ago, so I was thinking..."

"Shut up!"

Hongli still feels a lingering fear when he thinks of the fire that broke out in the cold palace a few days ago. He could never have imagined that there would be such a disgusting thing in his harem.

What child?

That was simply because he had been holding it in for too long... eh... he really didn't want to continue.

This disgusting thing actually made him lose his appetite!

"Then you should at least try the White Jade Frost Cake. This is what I worked so hard to make."

Ruyan, with his armor blasted, held up the plate of white jade frost square cake respectfully and walked straight towards Hongli.

Wei Yanwan had been prepared for this, and she quickly protected Hongli behind her. The last time Ruyan forced the emperor and empress to drink soup was still fresh in her memory. Was she planning to repeat the same trick this time?

"Xian Changzai, what are you doing? Back off now!"

Looking at Wei Yanwan's look of an eagle protecting her chick, Ruyan suddenly recalled the lingering scene from before, and she suddenly felt a little pain on her face.

So Ruyan took a step back angrily, "No, I didn't do anything. I just wanted His Majesty to taste my cooking skills!"

As long as Brother Hongli tastes a little, he can recall the friendship they used to have when they shook mushrooms.

She also prepared a lot of mushrooms!

Wei Yanwan knew Yi Ruyan's temper very well. If she didn't succeed, she probably wouldn't give in easily, so she said boldly, "Your Majesty, why don't you let me have a taste of it."

Even if it is poisonous, it should not poison the emperor.

Hongli showed reluctance on his face. After all, everyone knew that disgusting things should not be eaten casually.

He embraced Wei Yanwan and said, "Let me do it!"

Otherwise, if he is disgusted, I am afraid he will never give up.

Wei Yanwan said, "Your Majesty, please follow the ancestral rules! Let someone taste it for themselves!"

"Someone, come and taste the food!"

Hongli naturally agreed. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Yu and Jinzhong walking in from the front and back.

Originally, Li Yu was Jinzhong's master, but later Li Yu was demoted. Even if he returned to the emperor's presence, his rank was much lower than Jinzhong's.

Now Jinzhong has taken over Wang Qin's position and become the top eunuch in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, let me have a taste!"

Jinzhong had heard the noise inside from outside. When he heard that Wei Yanwan actually wanted to taste what Ruyan had made herself, he was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally has to stand in front of Wei Yanwan.

However, Li Yu did not give in at all, "Your Majesty, please let me do it. I have been serving Your Majesty since I was young, and I am not afraid!"

He wanted to perform well in front of Hongli in order to regain his position.

After hearing this, Hongli felt dazed. He still remembered what Gao Xiyue had said. Everyone in the harem was affected by the disease, so they did things that were not normal. Could it be that Li Yu was also deeply affected by it, so...

Thinking about it this way, some things made sense, and Hongli decided to give Li Yu a chance.

Hongli nodded, "Li Yu, you come!"

Li Yu stepped forward respectfully, "Yes!"

In response to this, Jinzhong and Wei Yanwan actually breathed a sigh of relief at the same time in tacit understanding, and then they smiled knowingly at each other.

Luckily, the other party didn’t have to taste it, that would be great.

If Li Yu wants to try it, let him suffer!

On the other side, Ruyan, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, was very happy when she heard that Li Yu was coming to taste her food.

So Ruyan blinked her eyes with joy at Li Yu, "Li Yu, it's great that you're back."

Ruyan smiled a smile that was so hateful that it made Li Yu feel scared.

He has always been easily influenced. When Ruyan begged him just now, he forgot everything that happened in the past. Then, in a fit of impatience, he let Ruyan in when Jinzhong was away.

But after the person came in, he repeatedly contradicted the emperor, and he regretted it again and wanted to slap himself hard several times on the spot.

So when he heard that he was going to taste the things that Ruyan brought, he volunteered to come out and atone his sins.

Hope this thing is okay!

Afterwards, Li Yu gritted his teeth, faced everyone's heated gazes, and slowly pinched a piece of white jade frost square cake and put it into his mouth...
