Fucha Langya had said so much that anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the Queen was being a good person again and was giving Ruyi a way out. However, Ruyi, with a look of dissatisfaction and resentment, glared at Fucha Langya.

"The Queen is a good person, but the master of the harem lies in the heart of the people. The Queen feels that by doing this, where does she put the Emperor?"

[Read the random replies? Maybe you have a communication disorder? 】

[You are crazy! When people ask you about the earth, you answer heaven!]

[This is so annoying…]

Hongli also felt that Ruyi was really annoying, but as soon as the murderous intent arose in his heart, his head felt as if it was being pierced by thousands of needles and it hurt so much.

I can't kill it, and I can't drive it away. It's really annoying.

Fu Cha Langya finally understood that Ruyi was just jealous of the fact that she got the position of the legitimate wife, so she has always kept it in mind. It's really like the person standing in the courtyard and the pot flying from the sky. Emperor Yongzheng didn't like her at all back then. Doesn't she know it herself?

Although Ruyi's face was indifferent, her expression of hatred for Fucha Langya did not seem fake at all. Hongli asked with displeasure, "Ruyi, why are you staring at the queen like this? Where did you learn the rules? Do you still have respect for superiors and subordinates and the supremacy of imperial power?"

Ruyi said unconvincedly, "If I hadn't gone a little late, the position of the legitimate wife wouldn't have been the Queen's. What I said was not wrong. She is the Queen, but I am the Emperor's legal wife!"

[Hiss... It's totally hopeless! ]

Hongli was speechless. How could he say this to this idiot? He had never liked her at all back then. He had clearly explained it before, but Ruyi was still living in the beautiful dream she had woven.

"I don't want to talk to you. How many times do you want me to tell you this before you understand? I never wanted you to be my first wife. Do you understand?"

Ruyi pouted, her back straightened, her thin eyebrows reaching into her temples, and her tongue sticking out like a snake. "I don't believe it. If the emperor didn't want to choose me, then why did he ask for my hand in marriage in front of my uncle, the late emperor? I know. If the queen hadn't threatened the emperor with the Fucha family, the emperor would definitely not have compromised easily. If my aunt hadn't lost power, the position of the legitimate wife would naturally be mine. I know that the emperor has me in his heart. The emperor just pretends not to favor me on purpose to embarrass the Fucha family. Even if the emperor doesn't admit it, it's the fact after all."

"Now you know your aunt's good points? Then why did you burn your aunt to death in order to please the Empress Dowager? Do you really think that you are so perfect in doing things?"

Hongli only felt it was ironic. "Besides, haven't you always claimed that you and I have only a brotherly relationship? Then why is it that even though I'm clearly a concubine, you always do things that go beyond the rules and regard yourself as the legal wife, not taking me or the queen seriously at all!"

After hearing this, Ruyi stared at Hongli in disbelief, thinking that his words were too harsh and really hurt her heart. She made up her mind that if brother Hongli did not kneel down and apologize to her, she would definitely not forgive him.

But Hongli still ignored Ruyi's accusation and continued, "Besides, I am the emperor, how can I be controlled by the Fucha family at will!"

Upon hearing this, Fucha Langya wanted to speak up for her mother's family, but was stopped by Hongli's comforting eyes. "Don't worry, Queen. The Fucha family is a strong family. How could the glory of the family be gained by sacrificing a woman? Everyone knows it. Only this Concubine Xian is not convinced that you are more virtuous than her, so she always wants to discredit you. In fact, the only wife in my heart is you, Queen!"

Gao Xiyue immediately clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Well said, Your Majesty. I applaud you!"

[Oh my, Master Qian Si, who doesn’t have any ailments, has a powerful tongue! ]

[It’s great that you have a mouth, the emperor and empress are united, and there are no misunderstandings! ]

However, although Ruyi was annoyed by what Hongli said, she always felt that Hongli was just putting on an act in front of others.

"Your Majesty, I remember the time when I was on the wall and I was heartbroken when I saw you. The friendship between you and me was real. We..."

"Shut up!"

Hongli was furious. "Ruyi, your mind is full of shaking mushrooms. I will satisfy you. From now on, you will kneel before me and embroider a thousand mushrooms for me. You can only embroider one of each variety, and you cannot repeat. When you finish embroidering, you will go back to your Yanxi Palace!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ruyi was not angry, but her face gradually turned red. Everyone saw that she was shy and said embarrassedly, "Your Majesty~~~I know that you must still miss me in your heart, otherwise you would not let me go to the Zhisi Gate to embroider mushrooms for the women in the harem to see."

Gao Xiyue: "..." She was too tired to complain.

[Tiedan! This disease is fatal! ]

Tiedan: [Just make do with it, host...] It's also powerless...

Gao Xiyue glanced at the aggrieved Hai Lan and reminded Hongli, "Your Majesty, what should we do about Concubine Xian's slander against Hai Changzai for stealing coal?"

Hailan took the opportunity to kneel down, "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!"

Hongli frowned and nodded, "You have always been dedicated to the Imperial Concubine, and I cannot let you be slandered for no reason. Concubine Xian, what do you have to say about this matter?"

Ruyi said calmly, "Your Majesty insists on saying that I slandered Hai Changzai, and I have no way to defend myself. I did not slander her, and I don't know what to say."

Gao Xiyue rolled her eyes. She knew it.

But she still has to maintain her persona, "If Empress Xian says there is no truth to it, then there is no truth to it. How are you going to prove your innocence?"

"I am already tired of saying the word innocent. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, then forget it!"

Ruyi still stiffened her neck and said, "However, I believe A Ruo must be willing to go to the Ministry of Punishment to be tortured, so as to prove my innocence!"

A Ruo was stunned with shock.

What kind of train of thought is this? Why should she be asked to go to the Ministry of Punishment to be tortured to prove Ruyi's innocence?

Everyone knows that the Ministry of Punishment is a cruel place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. Anyone who goes in there always goes in upright and comes out sideways.

"Master, please think twice. I don't want to go! If I go in, will I still be alive?"

Arruo cried and screamed, she even knelt down and tried to pull at Ruyi's skirt, but Ruyi pushed her away with a look of disgust and flicked her armor. This undisguised look of disgust made Arruo's heart chill from head to toe.

Ruyi said calmly, "Aruo, in order to prove my innocence, you have to go to the Ministry of Punishment even if you don't want to. Don't worry, once you go in, I will find a way to save you."

What does A Ruo know? She is doing a perfect job of standing trial for her master. Whether she can play a pitiful role in Brother Hong Li's heart and win his sympathy depends on whether A Ruo is capable enough.

[Hehehe... Oh my god, what kind of weird logic is this? You committed the crime yourself, but you want a maid to go to the Ministry of Punishment to prove your innocence? Why don't you go in and stand trial yourself, and then prove your innocence! ]

[That's you, Daru. I guess you think A Ruo is useless. She can neither help you win over Li Yu nor Jiang Yubin. You also secretly hate her for wanting to share a husband with you from time to time, so you take this opportunity to torture her, right? ]

A Ruo suddenly heard Gao Xiyue's thoughts and stared at her in disbelief.
