When Lingzhi heard that there was an assassin in the paddock, and seeing that her master had not returned for a long time, she was worried that something might have happened, so she hurried out to take a look.

All the way to the outside of the emperor's camp, she waited in the wind for a long time before she saw the concubines coming out one after another, and Ling Yunche was dragged out.

So she called Eunuch Jinzhong and learned the whole story.

Lingzhi was so frightened that cold sweat broke out, and even her clothes were soaked. If she didn't see her master for a while, she would make such a big trouble.

Jinzhong saw that she was trembling with fear and whispered to her, "Miss Lingzhi, you should also think more about yourself and leave this place as soon as possible. Now is a good time."

Lingzhi was moved. She thought of the Sixth Princess in Xiefang Palace. She wanted to speak up for herself and the princess and find a way out for both of them.

When the emperor heard Yu Hu say that Lingzhi, a maid from the Yikun Palace, wanted to see him and had something important to report, he felt annoyed again. He didn't know what other surprises Ruyi had.

Fu Cha Langya sat behind the emperor and rubbed his temples, saying softly, "Lingzhi of the Yikun Palace has always been a steady person, and she won't easily go to the emperor to plead her case. Your Majesty, why don't you meet her?"

The emperor thought, no matter how bad it could be, it couldn’t be worse than what had just happened, so he decided to just meet her.

The emperor sat at the top, a tiger-skin mattress covering his legs, half leaning on the couch, eyes closed, holding the queen's hand and stroking it carefully, without looking at Lingzhi, just asked tiredly:

"You insist on seeing me. What's the important matter?"

Lingzhi lowered her head and replied through gritted teeth: "Your Majesty, I want to ask you to save the Sixth Princess, save me, and don't let the Sixth Princess stay with Concubine Xian anymore."

The Queen remembered that Ruyi had dressed Jingsi in Yongqi's old clothes, bit her lip and glanced at the Emperor, then said:

"Your Majesty, the last time I reported that matter to you, you only reprimanded Concubine Xian in the temporary palace. But what if Concubine Xian still doesn't change after returning to the capital?"

The emperor's face darkened slightly. Thinking of the last time when Ruyi disobeyed his admonitions and had a big quarrel with him, he became more and more annoyed.

Lingzhi seized the opportunity and gritted her teeth:

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Concubine Xian will never change. I have always wanted to report this matter. Concubine Xian gave the twelfth prince tranquilizing soup. After being reprimanded by the Empress Dowager, she did not stop and insisted on feeding it to the twelfth prince. Later, the Sixth Princess was born. The princess was weak and cried in the middle of the night. Sometimes she cried so hard that she was out of breath. We should have asked the imperial physician, but Concubine Xian still gave the princess tranquilizing soup again. So within a day, the princess actually slept 60 to 70 percent of the time."

Seeing the emperor turning the jade ring on his hand, Fucha Langya knew that this was a sign of the emperor's rage.

She walked around to the bed and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, I am the commander of the six palaces. Today, Lingzhi revealed that Concubine Xian gave the princess a tranquilizer. It was my fault. I apologize."

The emperor reached out his hand to Langya and pulled her to sit beside him.

"Langya, you have already reprimanded Ruyi for the tranquilizer. She deliberately concealed it, so how could you know everything? Besides, Jingsi, you have told me more than once that it was me, the emperor, who did not take it to heart."

The emperor knew that Lingzhi was not lying, and that Ruyi could really do the things she said.

To be honest, he, as the emperor, was only concerned with being angry with Ruyi and never cared about Jingsi.

So he planned to give Xiao Jingsi to someone else to raise after returning to the palace.

The princess of the Aisin-Gioro family would not tolerate being abused by Ruyi again and again.

The emperor ordered with a cold face: "Pass on my decree. After Concubine Xian returns to the palace, she will be confined to Yikun Palace for a year. The monthly salary will be paid according to the agreed rate. Let her reflect on her mistakes. Princess Six, you don't need to return to Yikun Palace anymore."

Lingzhi kowtowed three times happily. This was really great. The princess no longer had to wear those ill-fitting, gray clothes, no longer had to entertain herself as a noble lady, and no longer had to drink calming soup.

"I, the servant, would like to thank the Emperor for his great kindness and for allowing the young master to no longer suffer."

Fu Cha Langya pleaded, "Your Majesty, Lingzhi is a loyal and sensible girl, so let her go with you to Xiefang Palace to take care of Jingsi."

Lingzhi's eyes welled up with tears of gratitude. She had not forgotten her good sister Yunzhi.

"Your Majesty, I and Yunzhi from the Yikun Palace are willing to take care of the princess."

The emperor nodded in agreement. Ruyi was a noble lady and the share she had been promised was not worthy of so many servants.

Fu Cha Langya asked Lingzhi to follow Concubine Xian on the way back to Beijing, and there was no need to tell her the emperor's decision in advance to avoid any trouble.

When Lingzhi returned to the tent, it was already dawn. The grassland was shrouded in a thin blue smoke, and everything looked tired.

Including Ruyi, who was holding her head in the tent and looking sad.

After a night of tossing and turning, Ruyi's heart was already full of holes despite her calm appearance.

She didn't expect Ling Yunche to actually admit that he liked Rong Pei. She didn't believe it because Ling Yunche had clearly expressed his true feelings to her in the palace before.

Although she has always regarded Ling Yunche as her confidant, her heart is saying that Rong Pei is not worthy of Ling Yunche at all.

Ruyi comforted herself that this was just Ling Yunche's delaying tactic and that he was truly protecting her.

But such a heroic Ling Yunche was going to be castrated. What a shame.

If a man becomes a eunuch, he will be inferior to others for the rest of his life and will not be able to hold his head up.

Thinking of this, Ruyi hugged herself tightly.

It’s so cold. The endless fighting in the harem eventually dragged Ling Yunche into it.

Today, she and Ling Yunche fell into Wei Yanwan's trap.

It turns out that the person who bribed Rong Pei to torture her was Wei Yanwan.

Ruyi raised her head and saw Lingzhi coming back in the morning light. She raised her head and asked calmly:

"Lingzhi, I haven't seen you for so long, where have you been?"

Lingzhi lowered her eyes and quickly tidied the clothes in her hands. She had just been out for a while and had been delayed in packing, so she had to hurry.

"My dear, you said you were going for a walk, but you didn't come back all night. I was worried, so I went to look for you. I have heard about what happened tonight. You were frightened, so you should rest."

The camp horn had already sounded outside, and the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners had already marched thirty miles in the fog with their flags held high.

Ruyi stared at Lingzhi for a while, and then she squeezed out a crack in her throat, and uttered a series of hoarse words like a spell:

"Lingzhi, go out and follow the advance army to see where the emperor has hidden Ling Yunche. Tell him to wait patiently. After the storm is over, I will arrange a remote palace for him so that he can live in peace for the rest of his life."

Lingzhi stood there, not even folding her clothes. She just threw them away and stared at Ruyi.

"Slave, I won't go!"

Ruyi didn't expect Lingzhi to reject her. She thought she had heard wrongly, so she stretched her neck and tilted her head to continue looking at Lingzhi.

"Lingzhi, what did you say?"

Lingzhi answered word by word with confidence:

"I'm saying that I won't go looking for Ling Yunche. Your Excellency has already suffered a lot today because of Ling Yunche's matter. Not only do you not avoid suspicion, but you also want me to go looking for Ling Yunche. Don't you want to hurt others and yourself? If your Excellency thinks that I should be punished, then let me go to the Queen to receive the punishment."

Ruyi looked angry. Lingzhi was so bold.

If it was before, when Lingzhi was honest and obedient, she could still intimidate her.

But this time, she only brought Lingzhi with her, and now Lingzhi was resisting so strongly, she didn't dare to force her too much.

So Ruyi pouted angrily and kept silent.

Lingzhi was not afraid of Ruyi. She was in no mood to sort out the armor and gray clothes. She simply threw all the clothes into a bundle and tied a knot in no time.

The army set out quickly.

On the way back in the carriage, Prince Xun Yongzhang wrote furiously, recording the assassination incident in the enclosure today in his own storybook.

It's just that the genders have been switched.

The version in the storybook is: A female assassin from the folk came to Mulan Paddock and was shot in the chest by an arrow from a prince, and from then on, a love story of these two enemies began.

In another carriage, Yongqi sneezed several times in a row! ...
