That night, screams were heard from the veranda in the Yanxi Palace. Sometimes the screams sounded like those of a cat, sometimes like those of an old man who was about to die, and sometimes they were high-pitched like the cry of some animal that was being skinned alive.

"Master, I'm scared. That voice sounds like Rong Pei!"

Yunzhi couldn't help but shrink closer to A'ruo, but was immediately restrained by Li Yu's sharp eyes.

Li Yu did not allow Yunzhi to get close to A Ruo at all, and even protected A Ruo tightly, "Don't be afraid, my master, I am here."

Seeing this, Yunzhi could only lean on Lingzhi with a wronged look on her face, encouraging and comforting each other.

Ah Ruo was frightened and felt like a deer running around. She nestled tightly in Li Yu's arms, holding onto his robe tightly with both hands, and asked in disbelief, "Li Yu, do all of you eunuchs like to torture people this much?"

She was terrified. If that was the case, then she wouldn't...

When Li Yu heard this, he knew that Ah Ruo must have had her old problem again and was having wild thoughts. He quickly blocked Ah Ruo's mouth with his lips to stop her from talking nonsense. "Master, stop making trouble. I will never do this to you."

Seeing this, Yunzhi and Lingzhi blushed and turned away quickly. Is this something they should watch?

With Li Yu's comfort, A Ruo finally relaxed. The inhuman torture she had suffered in the Ministry of Punishment was so painful that she now suffered from mental illness and was always worried about gains and losses.

Even though she had always wanted to be the emperor's concubine after she learned that her father was favored by the emperor, now that she had seen through everything, she actually had a strong desire to escape from the palace and live a secluded life with Li Yu for the rest of her life.

Seeing that A Ruo finally calmed down and looked at him with a look of attachment, Li Yu thought that she might be willing to sink into this state.

"Don't be afraid, Ah Ruo!"

……

Wang Fuzhi listened to the screams and said, "Master, do you want me to go over and see how Rong Pei is doing?"

Ruyi had been so frightened that she covered her ears with her hands, "No, no, no, please don't go. This is a private matter between the couple. You must not disturb them. What if I ruin their mood and they blame me?"

She was afraid of getting into trouble, and her selfish nature of seeking profit and avoiding harm had long been mastered by her.

Wang Fuzhi frowned slightly. No matter how she tried to teach this Ruyi, she would not be able to learn it. If she relaxed a little, Ruyi would start to call her "this palace" or say some presumptuous words again.

Originally, she was just a palace maid, and it was not her turn to teach Ruyi a lesson. But after all, Ruyi was just a small official girl. Even if she had her own title, she was not noble at all, and she could not be considered a master.

Thinking of this, Wang Fuzhi picked up the whip at hand and walked closer to Ruyi step by step, "Master, it's time for you to wash clothes."

do the laundry?

Ruyi stared at him with innocent eyes, "What clothes are you washing? Why should I wash clothes? Isn't this always washed by someone else? Just send it to the laundry tomorrow!"

Wang Fuzhi is just a new palace maid. I’m afraid she doesn’t quite understand the rules of the palace. Why does she have to be taught everything?

Ruyi was confused.

Wang Fuzhi then realized that Ruyi's mind was indeed not normal. She kindly reminded Ruyi, "My dear, your clothes really have a stench that cannot be washed away. The people in the laundry department dare not take your clothes, and you are also a palace maid, so you have to wash your own clothes."

Ruyi was shocked. She stared at Wang Fuzhi in disbelief. The sharp armor almost poked Wang Fuzhi's eyes. "You lied to me! When Rong Pei was here, she did all these things. I didn't do them. You can wash yourself if you want! Humph!"

She quickly got on the couch, waiting for Wang Fuzhi to coax her, but Wang Fuzhi would not listen to Ruyi's sophistry. She went straight forward, grabbed Ruyi's ankle, and dragged her off the bed. Then, ignoring Ruyi's shouts, she dragged her out with her face on the ground...

Whether Ruyi and Rongpei were suffering that night, only the parties involved know.

……

The next day, Rong Pei returned to the Yanxi Palace with a wound on the corner of her mouth. She looked numb and had already lost all hope. She thought that Wang Qin was not a human being at all. Fortunately, she had the ability to resist, so she would not suffer any loss.

"Rong Pei, you're back~~~~~"

When Ruyi saw Rong Pei, she was immediately overjoyed. She was forced by Wang Fuzhi to wash clothes all night, but she refused to take off her armor. So she stretched her hands and used six fingers to wash the clothes reluctantly. Her fingers were almost broken by the washing. Even so, she refused to lose her dignity.

But now she has finally come out of the hard times. Rong Pei is back, and she doesn't have to do all the dirty work anymore.

Rong Pei glanced at Ruyi calmly, "Master Xian, what do you want?"

After hearing this, Ruyi couldn't help but frown, "Rong Pei, why are you so cold? How come you become like this after getting married? To me..."

She was calling herself "this lady" again, but when she saw the whip in Wang Fuzhi's hand, she was so scared that she stopped talking immediately, "Rong Pei, how can you be so cold to me? After all, I am your old master! You can't do this, understand?"

Rong Pei felt extremely annoyed as she listened to Ruyi's lectures. She slapped Ruyi in the face and said, "Shut up! You old fool!"

Ruyi felt pain and was shocked. She stared at Rong Pei in disbelief, "What did you call me? Ahhhh... You actually dared to call me an old immortal? I will fight you!"

Rong Pei would never tolerate Ruyi. At this moment, she had already shown her power as the number one Baturu of the Qing Dynasty. She grabbed Ruyi's hair bun and gave her ten consecutive slaps.

No one in the Yanxi Palace tried to stop the fight, as they all felt sorry for Rong Pei's situation.

When Rong Pei had had enough fun, Jinzhong came out slowly to announce the emperor's order, "The emperor has ordered that Concubine Shen and the female official Xian go to Yonghe Palace, as Concubine Mei is giving birth!"

Bai Ruiji is about to give birth?

Why so fast?

Ruyi was unhappy. In her opinion, Bai Ruiji was just a musician. How could she be pregnant with the first son after her brother Hongli ascended the throne? She wished Bai Ruiji could not give birth.

But what she never expected was why Jinzhong came in person to convey the order for them to go to Yonghe Palace when Concubine Mei was giving birth?

As soon as Ruyi left, Jinzhong sent people to search every corner of the Yanx Palace, especially the side hall where Ruyi lived.

"Come on, search the Yanxi Palace thoroughly, not even a brick or a tile can be left untouched."

Li Yu held Ah Ruo's hand and helped her sit on the colorful stick. Li Yu quietly reminded Ah Ruo, "Master, please don't panic. Otherwise, if others see anything, it will be bad. There is still a tough battle to fight next!"

A Ruo nodded and forced herself to calm down.

When the procession started, Ruyi could not ride in the sedan chair. She wanted to catch up and ask A Ruo to give up her seat, but she was controlled by Wang Fuzhi and Rong Pei on both sides.

"Lady Xianguan, please be quiet, or you will suffer in vain later."
