Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Jia Ling's Double Rebirth, Creates a Great Success

Ruyi knelt in her underwear with a dull look in her eyes. She couldn't accept that there was no one in this world to protect her anymore.

She felt extremely miserable as she had lost both her healthy body and her mother in one day.

The pain in her lower abdomen spread like a tide, soon filling her entire abdominal cavity.

She hated Han Xiangjian for feeding her such a strong sterilization soup, causing her to live in pain for the rest of her life.

What made Ruyi even more devastated was the emperor's favoritism towards Han Xiangjian. Han Xiangjian hurt her, but acted as if she had suffered a great injustice. The emperor even asked Wang Fuzhi to send her back to the palace.

The emperor's blatant favoritism towards Han Xiangjian and his cold gaze towards her made Ruyi extremely disappointed and heartbroken.

Today, she can no longer deceive herself.

She understood that the emperor didn't care about her at all.

Ruyi wanted the emperor to speak first, but the emperor sat at the top, looking down at her without saying a word.

This made her feel uneasy.

Ruyi was eager to accuse the emperor of being cruel and heartless, so she opened her mouth.

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to you. Even if I have to give Concubine Rong medicine, it is because she is causing chaos in the palace and undermining the government. I have no choice but to do it in order to protect your reputation. Besides, that was what Concubine Rong wanted to drink. I was just doing her a favor and letting her serve you in peace. Concubine Rong doesn't understand my painstaking efforts, don't you understand it too?"

The emperor did not want to listen to Ruyi's long explanation. He knew that if he heard Ruyi say a few more words, he would be so angry that he would die. So he just asked slowly:

"Lady Xian is sweating coldly, but does she feel any pain?"

A spark of anger started to rise in Ruyi's heart again, and she forced herself not to be secretly happy. Even if the emperor took the initiative to show concern for her, she had to maintain the integrity of a scholar-official.

She looked up and answered, "It does hurt, but..."

The emperor sneered before Ruyi finished speaking:

"You also feel pain? Rong Guiren trusted you, told you her inner thoughts, and sought your help, but you brought her a bowl of medicine that would make her feel so painful that she wanted to die. You are so vicious, and you still dare to say it's for me? You really don't care about your face!"

Ruyi thought that this was the second time the emperor had spoken ill of her today and that he no longer cherished her. This made Ruyi extremely discouraged and her physical pain worsened.

Ruyi fell to the ground, squirming with her legs together in pain. Even so, she still squeezed out words from between her teeth.

"Your Majesty is devoted to Han Xiangjian, and has ignored my mother's loss and my physical injuries. Your Majesty has turned a blind eye to my loyalty, and I have no way to defend myself."

Since the emperor ascended the throne, the two sentences he heard most from Ruyi were "looking at each other from afar from the wall and horse" and "there is no way to defend oneself".

Now, thanks to his efforts, the Qianteng Ma Yao Xiang Gu has finally withdrawn from the stage of history.

However, this disgusting and indefensible person followed him and Ruyi around like a shadow for most of their lives.

The emperor thought of those who had been sent to the Ministry of Punishment for Ruyi, A'ruo,惢心, Rong Pei, and Ling Yunche.

He frowned. He didn't know until he counted. He was shocked to see so many.

Ruyi is used to having others take the punishment for her when she does something wrong, but the suffering that others endure for her has become a stepping stone for Ruyi, pushing her to the moral high ground step by step.

That's why today, Ruyi habitually asked her mother, Lady Nara, to take the blame for her again.

If he executed Lady Nara today, then in Ruyi's eyes, she would owe her a mother.

After figuring this out, the emperor felt refreshed and felt that he was extremely intelligent.

He knew that he was suspicious by nature, but overall, he was more humane than Ruyi. At least he knew that everyone is responsible for their own actions.

The emperor looked coldly at Ruyi, who appeared to be fearless and full of integrity.

He thought, since Ruyi was so stubborn that it made people angry, he wanted to see how Ruyi begged for mercy.

"Since you, Noble Lady Xian, are unable to defend yourself and don't know where you went wrong, then I will point you to a good place to calm down. How about that? When you are in there and have thought it through and know where you went wrong, then you can come out, okay?"

Ruyi had a hunch that the place the emperor was going to send her to was not a good place. Although she was angry, she did not want to lose face by going to a dirty place.

So she looked up and said, "If the emperor still doesn't believe me, please let my personal maid Dongmei go to the Ministry of Punishment to prove my innocence."

After running around for a whole day, Dongmei finally broke.

She knelt on the ground in a hurry, waving her hands hastily, her round face flushed with anxiety.

"Your Majesty, please spare me. I cannot go to the Ministry of Punishment. I have confessed everything. My master is not innocent at all."

Ruyi took a breath in her chest. She didn't expect Dongmei to be so spineless that she didn't grit her teeth and refuse to give in like a pine tree.

She looked at Dongmei with disdain, "Dongmei, how can you say that? Where is your dignity?"

Dongmei snorted, frowned and said:

"I am a servant without dignity. How can dignity be used to make a living? My master has dignity. You can go to the Ministry of Punishment yourself. I won't go anyway!"

Ruyi was very disappointed. She thought that it was because Dongmei had been with her for too short a time. If it had been longer, she would have been as loyal as A Ruo, Rong Pei and惢心.

At least she won't betray me like Lingzhi and Qiuwen did.

Ruyi thought that she could go to the Ministry of Punishment to set an example and let Dongmei see what it means to be powerful and unyielding.

After hearing Dongmei's words, the emperor looked at the girl with great appreciation. It was rare for Ruyi to have such a smart person by her side.

He sneered and said, "Go ahead, Lady Xian. Go to the Ministry of Punishment and see if your excuses are still effective in front of Nanny Jingqi."

Ruyi was indifferent. She tried her best to ignore the pain in her body. She thought that when she went to the Ministry of Punishment, she would not surrender. When the news reached the emperor's ears, he would understand how pure and innocent a person he had hurt!

Ruyi looked up calmly, "Since the emperor has said so, what can I do? But I am innocent and will never succumb to torture."

The emperor seemed not to hear it. He smiled and praised:

"You have guts. Since you have already thought that the Ministry of Punishment would use torture, it shows how cruel you are to send your personal maid to the Ministry of Punishment. I will order Nanny Weiqi to fulfill your guts."

The emperor waved his hand and forcibly pulled up the pale-faced Ruyi, who was only wearing an inner garment, and sent her to the cannibalistic Ministry of Punishment.

Shenxingsi

This was Ruyi's first time to come to such a place. In the past, even though A'ruo and Ruoxin Rong allowed them to come in, she never thought of coming in to pick them up.

The Ministry of Punishment was dark and damp, and the air seemed to be filled with moisture. The only source of light came from a few small windows, which cast thin shadows just to distinguish it from hell.

Ruyi felt a pain in her lower abdomen, her face was as pale as cotton wool, and blood dripped between her legs from time to time.

The Jingqi maids of this generation had never seen a concubine enter the Ministry of Punishment. They circled around Concubine Xian and noticed her stubborn expression, which made them very unhappy.

The emperor has issued an order that Concubine Xian must beg for mercy in person before this can be stopped. This situation does not look easy.

They also thought that Concubine Xian was still a woman after all, and she looked like she was seriously ill, so it would be better to be more humane to her.

So one of them asked kindly:

"Does Lady Xian want to be whipped or pound rice?"
