Yikun Palace

Qiuwen has a good impression of the newly arrived Fuzhi and Amber, for no other reason than that they hate Concubine Xian just like she does.

Ruyi also couldn't stand the two of them. They were obviously two servants sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve her, but they refused to serve in the side hall and just fiddled with flowers and plants every day.

Especially that Wang Fuzhi, who relied on her beauty and was said to have become the center of attention on the Queen Mother's birthday.

Ruyi sat in a side hall, looking at Wang Fuzhi's slender figure with disdain. In her, Ruyi saw the shadows of A Ruo and Wei Yanwan.

They are all people who are restless and don't like a dull and steady life.

On this day, Ruyi was going to the Imperial Garden to admire the peonies. Seeing this, Wang Fuzhi actually took the initiative to follow her for the first time.

Ruyi raised her head proudly, thinking that Wang Fuzhi probably wanted to take the initiative to show her goodwill, and she wanted to establish her authority over Wang Fuzhi.

Ruyi said calmly: "Since you are going to serve me, I feel a little hot today, so you can fan me from behind."

Wang Fuzhi thought of the purpose of today and gritted her teeth to endure it.

In the Imperial Garden, when all the flowers were in full bloom and competing for beauty, Ruyi felt a sense of desolation.

She looked at the clusters of peonies in front of her, feeling sad. She looked left and right, searching for Ling Yunche's figure, but could not find him anywhere.

However, Wang Fuzhi got news from Rong Pei that Ling Yunche was in the Imperial Garden today, so she was closer to Ruyi.

He was still praising Ruyi, saying that she was more beautiful than flowers. Ruyi was so delighted that she lifted her skirt and smiled mysteriously:

"The peony in front of me really looks like a peony~"

Behind a peach tree, Ling Yunche was carrying a fertilizer bucket, looking at the two of them with sinister eyes.

The person who used wild mushrooms to make him addicted and murdered him was actually Concubine Xian's maid.

It’s Concubine Xian again. Does she want to kill me?

Ling Yunche clenched his fists tightly, his hatred for Ruyi almost making him lose his mind.

He completely understood that Concubine Xian wanted to use wild mushrooms to make him surrender. What a vicious woman.

Ling Yunche's eyes turned red with anger and he kicked over the fertilizer bucket. This scene happened to fall into Wang Fuzhi's eyes.

She smiled gently and left the Imperial Garden with Ruyi.

In May, the emperor waved his hand and decided to go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat. Compared with the small world in the palace, the Old Summer Palace with its mountains and waters was naturally much more interesting.

So the people in the palace happily packed their luggage and were ready to follow their master to the Old Summer Palace to enjoy life.

The Empress Dowager was enshrined in the Xinghuachun Pavilion, the Emperor still lived in Jiuzhou Qingyan, the Empress and Concubine Hui lived in Changchun Xian Pavilion, and Concubine Chun and Concubine Yu lived in Quyuan Fenghe.

Concubine Jia and Concubine Ling lived in Wuling Chunse, Mu Ping and Yihuan lived in Chunyu Shuhe Pavilion, and Ruyi was assigned to an inconspicuous Tongleyuan.

This time when she came to the Old Summer Palace, Ruyi disliked Qiuwen for not being able to speak and always disobeying her, so she arranged for Qiuwen to stay in the palace to serve the flowers and plants, and for Wang Fuzhi to follow her to the Old Summer Palace to serve her.

Qiu Wen felt a little sorry for Wang Fuzhi, and secretly told her to be careful of Concubine Xian's conspiracy.

Wang Fuzhi signaled Qiuwen to rest assured. She thought that when they returned to the palace, it was still uncertain who would be the master and who would be the servant.

The Old Summer Palace has a quiet environment, rockery fountains and countless beautiful scenery.

The ladies in the palace gathered together, eating Mu Ping's cakes, drinking the fine wine sent by Xiyue, listening to Meipin playing the moon harp, watching Jin Yuyan, Wei Yanwan and E Yinzhu dancing together, and composing poems with Yihuan. It was such a happy scene.

The emperor, who was busy with state affairs, did not realize that he was being ignored by the empresses.

On this day, Langya was taking her sisters to appreciate the lotus, but suddenly she saw black smoke filling the sky over the peaceful Jiuzhou.

Everyone exclaimed: Jiuzhou Qingyan is on fire.

So everyone hurried to Jiuzhou Qingyan, and on the way they happened to meet Ruyi who was also hurrying past.

On the other side, in Jiuzhou Qingyanli, the cause of the fire this time was nothing else but that the emperor had dismissed everyone and was taking a nap on the couch when he accidentally kicked over the candlestick on the table.

Jiuzhou Qingyan was a wooden structure, and the ground was covered with blankets. For a moment, the fire was not big, but the smoke was billowing, which was particularly scary.

It just so happened that the fifth prince Yongqi was waiting outside the palace, ready to report the matter of the steamship to the emperor as soon as he woke up.

Smelling the thick smoke, Yongqi rushed in, picked up the still sleeping emperor, and carried him out of the palace.

Fortunately, although the fire in Jiuzhou Qingyan looked scary, it was quickly put out.

The emperor survived the disaster and was terrified that he almost choked to death by smoke in his sleep.

He wanted to punish the servants severely, but then he remembered that he was the one who made them all leave, so he became furious.

Yongqi rushed into the fire to save himself without hesitation, which shows his kindness, filial piety, loyalty and righteousness. The emperor patted Yongqi on the shoulder:

"Yongqi, thank you for saving me, otherwise I would have died in the sea of ​​fire."

Yongqi replied respectfully: "I am unworthy of this position. As long as the emperor is alright, that's all."

The emperor became more and more satisfied and had secretly decided to reward Yongqi well.

When Fu Cha Langya and her men arrived, the emperor had already moved to a side hall. She hurriedly supported the emperor and examined him carefully from head to toe, almost in tears.

The emperor comforted Langya and held her in his arms. Seeing the heartbroken concubines behind him, he felt a little better.

Ruyi stared at Fucha Langya. She was obviously worried too, but she would not rush to be in the spotlight, unlike Fucha Langya, who was afraid that others didn't know that she was the queen.

Seeing the Fifth Prince Yongqi standing aside, Concubine Yu carefully wiped the black dust off his face, her face full of heartache.

But Yongzhang and Yongcheng are not here, which is really suspicious.

Ruyi felt that everyone had lost their minds at this moment, and only she, who was as sober as Bingxue, could see the truth.

She asked calmly, "When Jiuzhou Qingyan caught fire, Prince An and Prince Yuan were in the capital, but they didn't tell anyone. Why didn't Yongzhang and Yongcheng come to rescue the emperor, but Yongqi came?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jin Yuyan, Su Lujun and Hai Lan all stared at Ruyi.

This not only made the emperor suspicious of Yongqi, but also accused Yongzhang and Yongcheng of being unfilial.

Sure enough, the emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Yongqi with a tentative look.

Fu Cha Langya rebuked: "Lady Xian is full of nonsense and stirring up trouble. Someone, take her back."

Yong Qi patted Hai Lan's hand, took a step forward and said, "This son also needs to explain to clear the name of my two brothers. The reason why this son is here is because the emperor said that he would ask this son about the steamship in the afternoon, so this son specially came to wait, but he didn't expect that there was a fire in the palace. As a son, this son naturally rushed in regardless of everything."

The emperor nodded and said, "Indeed, Yongqi and I have agreed to question him."

Yongqi looked outside the palace and said, "Just now, Empress Xian asked about my third and fourth brothers. Actually, I only had more opportunities to show my filial piety than my brothers because I happened to be outside the palace. My two brothers were the first to bring people to put out the fire. Even now, they are investigating other causes of the fire and dealing with the ruins. I am ashamed that I have been given the reputation of being benevolent and filial, but my brothers did all the real work."

Yongqi's words were well-spoken and dispelled the emperor's suspicions about the third and fourth princes.

Jin Yuyan and Su Lujun looked at Yongqi gratefully and breathed a sigh of relief.

Hai Lan recalled that in her dream, she had caused Yongqi, who was originally loyal, filial, and friendly to his brothers, to harm so many princes. She felt distressed, but also felt relieved for Yongqi's understanding.

She stared at Ruyi coldly and asked, "Are you satisfied now, Lady Xian? Do you think everyone is as vicious as you are?"

The emperor also felt a little guilty for his suspicion of his two sons. This guilt, along with the evil anger in his heart, turned into dissatisfaction with Ruyi.

It was all Ruyi’s fault. She almost made him wrongly accuse two children.

The emperor waved his hand and said sternly, "Come here, take Concubine Xian away and put her under house arrest. Don't let her come out before she returns to the palace!"
